that the following

is

a

full and

complete

answer

to

your

s e v e r a l q uestio ns as I am able to make.

(Query l)

y

Grandparents.

Henry and

Elizabeth

Sherwood,

lived in

that part of Maryland then called the eastern shores of Maryland

and near Tuckahoe Creek. I

do

not remember either county or

t o w n

(Query 2)

y Uncles, Samuel and

William Sherwood, I believe

were

older

than father and probably lived and died

in

Maryland, as did

also my Aunt Lydia. I

do

not think that she ever married. y

only knowledge of the family in Maryland is from

recollection

of hearing

my

father

speak of

them

,

until

he died

when

I

was

a lad of about 17. y uncle Jonathan Sherwood, when but a young

man, in attempting to cross Tuckahoe Creek in a small boat, was

accidently

thrown

out and

was drowned,

being unable to save

him

self on

account of having on a

heavy

overcoat at the time.

(Query 3) y Mother- Dorcas Bradway's parents

were

John and Abigal

Bradway

of (I think)

Salem Co. New

Jersey, who

removed

to

Columbia

now a part of Cincinnnat)

Ohio

in about the year 180^.

y

brother

Isaac

HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.

BELIGIODS SOCIETIES AND CHUBCHE9.

The Friends were the

first

to

organize

intoa

society.

In 1800,

Ezekiel

Cleaver, with others, came with their families from

Virginia

to Red Stone,

now

Brownsville, in Pennsylvania,

and

the families remained there, and Cleaver

(and

perhaps some

others)

came to Waynesville

and

erected a

large

log house

on the east corner of Miami

and

Third streets,

resting

on

large

logs cut

and

placed in the

ground

endway and returnedeto their families. In the spring of

,1801.

Cloavm-moved here. _ l tti j

Previous to

1803.

the Friends organized a society, a committee of rnends

coming from Red Stone to sit

with

them, aswas then and

I believe

still their

custom. After

the

organization, meetings

for

worship were held

at thedifior-

ent

family

residences

until

1805.

when

they

built

a

substantial

log meeting

house,where the house of the OrthodoxFriends now is.

2

David Brown was appointed

a

committee

to

build

the

house. The

records

of the

Friends show

that he built it. put in a

stove

and

fenced

in the

grave

yard

and received

as

a

compensation

for building and

completing

the house,

fes.SS;

the stove, 35.93,

and

for fencing in the graveyard, 19.

The Friends

got

the title to their

grounds

in 1808. David Pugh, Benja

min

Evans.

Isaac Mills. David Homer, Samuel

Test

and

Benjamin Hopkins,

were

made

trustees

in the

deed.

A

committee

was

appointed

to examine the

title,

consisting of Joel Wright.

Joseph Canby, Mordecai Walker, John

Hames,

Abij ah O Neall. Isaac

Ward

and George C. Ward. on

*

n In May 1811.

they

determined to

build

a brick

meeting-house, 4UxnU

feet,

one story,

and appointed

Asher Brown

and

Joseph

Evans, managers, and,

in

August following, considered the

propriety of building

two

stones,

and Jona

than

Crispin

was

appointed an additional manager. In February, lolz, re

ported

expenses

were 1 195.13

and

probably

expense,

to

complete

lower

story

for use, 400. i a i j. i

In May,

1812,

Noah Haines, Chairman of the committee,

reported

total

expenses, 1,278.45. o ^ i xi.

In

1813,

a

committee

was

appointed

todraft a plan

and finish

the upper

part

of

the

house,

consisting

of John

Stubbs, Levi Cook Joseph Evans, Tlmmag

Sherwood. Asher Brown.

John Sattertiwaite

and Isaac Stubbs, which they^did

aTa cost of about

250,

making a total cost of a little more than 1,500.

David Evans and wife were the first couple married there.

In

the year 1870,

the house was

repaired

and remodeled,

leaving

but

little

of the original architectnre and giving it

the

appearance of a

one-stOTy

build

ing, with a small

gallery on

the

east side,

at an expense

of over

2,000.

In a

division

of the

society

in

about 1828,

the

orthodox branch, which

was

in theminority withdrew and

thoy

repaired

the

old log house, which

was badly

rotted, where

they

worshiped until

1835

or

1886, when

the

old log

house was

taken

down

and the present

structure

erected.

The Friends Graveyard on

their

premises

in

Waynesville

was

the

first regular

graveyard

in

the

township.

A log meeting-house

was

erected

by

the Baptists on

the

farm

of

Jane Car

man,

on

the

road

from

here to

Dayton,

at an early day. I have

been

informed

about the year 1814. j . -o t v

xr-

A freemeeting-housewas builtonthe

farm now

owned byRev.

John Hisey,

in east Wayne Township, in 1817,

by

subscription.

As

I have a copy

of

said

subscription paper,

I

here

give it,

with

the original orthography:

Hunting was a favorite pastime with the early settlers and they sometimes

had regularly organized bear and deer hunts. The

country

was notified of the

day the hunt was to take

place,

and of the different stations at

which

each set

tlement would meet. T h e h un te rs w ou ld fo rm a cu-cle an d advance toward th e

center driving the game

before

them by making a general din with bells

horns shouts etc. At a preconcerted signal a general rash for the center and

a brisk firing

began,

which usually resulted in

more

hilarity than

game.

Another favorite piistime

was

the squim-l hunt. Whenthis wasdetermined

upon,

a

meeting was called. Captains elected. Judges chosen

to

assure

a fair

count and the men divided into two

companies.

A day was then sot. usually

about a month ahead on which they would meet to count scalps and. in the

intervening

time,

each manwould bunt asmuch, and

secure

as

many

scalps, as

possible. The

hunters usually

staked a bushel

of

com

or its equivalent

on their

prowess,

and.

when the scalps were

counted,

the winning side

took

all the

grain wagered. The

squirrel

scalps included both ears and in the

score

counted

one; ha ks and owls each counted

two.

and others birds one.

Another favorite and successful mode of killing was by watching th e licks

which woro moist or boggy places and

.sometimes

springs posses.sed of strong

saline qualities. To these places game of all kinds would repair nightly to lick

the salty banks, and the hunter lying in

ambush,

could

.shoot

them

down

at

pleasure.

Wild turkeys were trapped in well-baited

pens, erected for

the

purpose,

with a neatly constructed trap door in the bottom.

The

social

games of the

pioneers

were

such

as combined pleasui-e with

profit.

Among

these

ivere the log-roUin^, for which the

men were divided into

two sections and each tried to excel the other in the number of logs cut and

rolled from the land. The last one o f these held in this section was in 1867,

on the farm of the writer at Springhill . For this there were seventeen acres

ready

cut

into lengths

of

from

twelve to

sixteen feet; and

forty-two

men,

old

and young, worked

faithfully

and cheerfully, though the day was

showery

and

uncomfortable. Notfinishing the clearing on the first day, twenty-four of the

men returned the next day and completed the work. The writer will ever re

tain a grateful remembrance of the kindness of his

neighbors

on that occasion.

In

pioneer

days, there being

n inclosed

fields,

except

those

devoted

to

raising crops, the domestic animals

were

allowed

torunat

large. Hogs

lived

on the mast of the forest and fattened rapidly. When the killing season rolled

around the settlers with employed help would hunt down and kill their hogs

in the woods, drag or haul them home, and there scald scrape and cut them up

f or w i nt r use.

An account is given us of two children aged

five

and three years, whowere

lost at different times about 1808 or 1809. Both were found by roiising the

settlements andmaking an organized search.

One

of these

was

named Nicholas

Bnms; the other was a child of

Nebo

Gaunt s.

Many of the emigrants from Virginia had full

faith

in witchcraft, and,

when

the writer was quite a small boy, he listened to their stories about the

operations of witches at Wizzard

Clip until

his hair stood erect and

he

clung

to them for

protection.

built

in

1881, byW. W. Ingraliam, a stoam

saw-mill

of large capacity

for cus

and general work. The railroad

officials

have built a side track to it, and

considerable

quantities of sawed lumber

are shipped

from that

point

The

of Hammel

was

laid out abotit the time the

took the

name of its

proprietor.

It is on

opposite Millgrove and two

miles

below

Fort Ancient, and-contains a

few

families wh o

pursuits. There

is a

denominations have

occasional

services. The

comprise

about

have

been exhumed

there. , ^

as far

as possible,

doubtless some have

An attempt was

made,

at the

beginning

of the Mexican war, to re-organize

themilitia in this

township,

but the effort met with ridicule,

and,

of wmse,

was a failure. David B.

Glasscock

and James D. Wallace were the only

from

this

township known

to be in that struggla ^ t
