Named for his father, who died in January before he was born, this kindly dispositioned, bright young lad was special to his mother. He left school to work for a local butcher, feeling the need of earning. Like his older brothers, he helped farm at home and for others. He enjoyed many friends and his family. during a heavy rain at the time of the Miami Valley Flood of 1913, while driving cattle, he contracted a severe chest cold, developing into tuberculosis. After many months of illness, he died at age 20 years. During his extended illness he was always hopeful and tried to make it easier for those who cared for him. [Source: Laura E.

Francis Browne Guardian to Hannnah Walker Informed that ye estate of John Benham deceased or Joseph Benham his sonne was debtor to the estate of John Walker, concerning which he desired the help of the Court, wherevpon the Records of Febr. 4th, 1659, were read, & thereby it appeared that John Benham & Joseph his sonne had engaged ioyntly & seuerally for the paymt of 6£, 3s, 6d, to the sd estate at or before October then next ensuing. Joseph was told that his father being dead he must answere the debt, to wch he replied that part of it was for an Ox bought by his Father, wch is Inventoried as part of that extate. Joseph Benham prsented an account of 3£, 15s, 6d, paid vpon that account, but his booke being sent for & brought, thereby it appeared in ye same page, that 26s was then received back, wch being taken out of 3£, 15s, 6d, there remaind to be deducted out of the debt of 6£, 3s, 6d, but 2£, 09s, 6d, so that the estate of John Walker is Creditour 3£, 14s, 0d, wch Joseph Benham was Ordered to pay to Francis Browne, guardian to Hannah Walker; What joseph Benham hath to say why the estate of his deceased Father should be liable to answere any part of this debt was left to further consideration & heareing.

...In the troubled reign of Charles I (the king who would later by beheaded), a little company of Puritans from the West Counties of England, in 1629-30, sailed for New England on the "Mary and John." The rest of the Winthrop Fleet that would be the main party of the Massachusetts Bay Colony followed two months later.
...John Benham, brickmaker, is generally credited as being on that ship. Quite possibly his wife and two sons, John, Jr. and Joseph, were with him, though we don't know that for sure....What we know about the journey and about the first weeks of getting settled comes from the account of one Captain Roger Clapp, later collected and printed in "Annals of the Town of Dorchester".
"In the year of our Lord 1629, Divers Godly Persons in Devonshire,
Somersetshire, Dorsetshire, & other places, Proposed a Remove to
New England...These good People met together at Plymouth, a
Sea-port Town in ye Sd County of Devon..."
Later in his narrative, Captain Clapp tells about the journey itself and what happened when they first arrived in the New World:
"The people being too many in Number to come in one vessel, they hired one
Captain Squeb to bring them in a large ship of 444 Tons; they set Sail from
Plymoouth ye 20th of March, 1629-30 and arrived at Nantasket...ye 30th of May,
1629-30, having a Comfortable tho long passage, and having Preachint or
Expounding of the Scripture every day of their Passage, performed by their Ministers."
"They had agreed with Capt. Squeb to bring them into Charles River, but he was
false to his bargain & would not come any further than Nantasket, where he
turned them and their Goods ashore on ye point, leaving them in a forlorn
Wilderness distitute of any habitation & most other comforts of life. But it pleased
God, they got a Boat of some that had staied in ye Country...for trade with ye
Natives before these adventurers came over... and put their goods in ye Boat,
and... went up ye River until it grew narrow and Shallow, & then put ashore &
Built a hut to shelter their Goods."
...They were met by about 300 Indians, accompanied by a planter, who had stayed in the country and could speak something of the Natives' language. They exchanged biscuits for fish and shellfish.
...The first months were not easy for the settlers. Even in this temporary camp, they would have had to build crude shelters. Again, we turn to Captain Clapp for an account of their early hardships:
'Oh ye Hunger that many suffered, and saw no hope in an eye of Reason
to be supplyed, only by Clams, & Muscles, and Fish, and Bread was so very
Scarce, that sometimes ye very Crusts of my Fathers Table would have been
very sweet unto me: And when I could have Meal & Water & Salt, boiled together,
it was so good, who could wish better. And it would have been a strange thing
to see a piece of Roast Beef, Mutton, or Veal; tho it was not long before there was Roast Goat.
"...ye Indians were very friendly to them, which our people ascribed to God's
watchful Providence over them in their weak beginnings;... about Ten men
[went up the river] to seek out ye way for ye Rest. They were now landed upon ye Main Continent in a wild and unknown Wilderness, and they had brought Cattle with them which if they put them ashore they would likely wander & be lost & themselves likewise in seeking them."
Dorchester Plantation
...The new settlement, which was named Dorchester Plantation, began about the beginning of June. The colonists were settled here a month or two before Governor Winthrop and the ships that came with him arrived at Charlestown.
...Freedom to pursue their Puritan beliefs without persecution was the principal colonists to endure a long arduous journey an unknown land. [Source: written and edited by Lela (Shepherd) Wilkins, with added research and writing by Gladys (Benham) Hall, June (Benham) Stricklin and Loretta (Lee) Chapman, The American Ancestors of William R. Benham (1823-1907) and his Wife, Helen Maria Bingham (1827-1900)(: Cousins Etc., 1994)].
John Benham came to New England with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. We do not know the name of his ship, but it was one of the eleven. His origin in England is unknown. (WINTHROP FLEET, Banks, rep. ed., 1976: pg. 60) He was made freeman 18 May 1631 at Boston (LIST OF FREEMAN OF MASS., Paige, rep. 1978; p. 11) Savage places him at Dorchester before his removal to New Haven in 1639.
On the 4th day of the 4th month of 1639 at the Founding of New Haven, John Benham is there with William Preston, Henry Peck, Nath: Merriman, Thomas Munson and "Old" Benjamin Wilmot. In 1643, in a tabulated account of the Planters of New Haven, John Benham has "5 persons in his family"; received 70 acres in the land divisions in various parcels and was taxed 5s 11d. We can count four persons: John, two sons and his wife. Either there was another child by 1643 about whom we know nothing, or he had someone living with him. We have found no census as yet that might help clear this one point. He was one of the early members of First Church: joining about 1639-40 as No. 14. His wife, whose name has not been found anywhere, joined the church in 1646 as No. 126 and according to that record, died before 1654. He was made freeman on 5 Aug 1644 with Roger Betts, William Bradley and others. His two sons of record: john and Joseph took the oath of freeman on 4 Apr 1654. In the 10 Mar 1646 seating list at Meeting House, Bro. Benham sits in the seventh row in the mens middle seats and Mrs. Benham is a seat-neighbor of Sister Preston and Sister Mansfield in the cross seats at the end, 4th row.
...John, too, we find among those with a defective gun and was fined 2s. If we made a survey of the early records, we would probably find that most of the men in these early plantations had been fined for defective weapons. On 16 Jun 1645, we have an entry in the early record that describes John Benham's trade: he was a brickmaker. He had to cross Mr. Eaton's land to get to the clay, and Mr. Eaton apparently objected to this. In that day, too, man had his "easement" problems. And the court had to admonish him for being absent on "trayning" days, for which he paid fines of 2s:6d.
...To describe John Benham's feelings about contemporary affairs, the following entry is somewhat edited: "22 Mar 1653 - John Benham. . . now testifys he spake contemptuously of the commisioners saying they satt long, but what did they, he could have three or four plow-men. . doe as much in three or foure dayes; and when the magistrates were informed . . that the generality of Stamford . . desire(d) they might have liberty in bots, but they would be confined to chuse within the church, but if that would not bee granted they should rest satisfyed in ye course setled."
...John Benham died in 1661; the inventory of his estate returned 25 May 1663. the amount has been lost from the record. why it would take from 3 Jan 1661 to present the inventory on 6 May 1662 and have it returned in 1663 we don't know, except there must have been some involvement not recorded. the Inventory was taken by Thomas Munson and John Merriman.

OBITUARY
A fitting Tribute to the Memory of Judge Justin Harlan
Justin Harlan, one of our oldest, most highly esteemed and most prominent citizens, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. W. A. Wright, at Kuttawa, Kentucky, on Thursday morning the 13th inst. He left his home here, to make his daughter and son-in-law a visitor, but a few days since, with no symptoms of ill-health save a slight cold; and , after his arrival at Kuttawa, no alarming symptoms in regard to his health were discovered until within two or three days of his death. Even then, he protested that there was nothing the matter with him, and it was with great difficulty that his daughter could prevail upon him to go to bed. From the time he took to his bed, he gradually became weaker and weaker, until life ceased. He died, apparently without a pain. Death came to him as peacefully and sweetly as the sleep of an infant. It was a fitting close—such as, doubtless, he desired—to an honorable and well-spent life. Although absent from home, he was surrounded by friends, and everything was done for him that affection could desire or skill suggest.
Mr. Harlan was born on his father’s farm, near Ridgeville, in Warren County, Ohio, on the 6th of December, 1800. having received a good common school education, on arriving at the age of manhood, he commenced the study of the law in the office of Hon. John McLean, who was shortly thereafter made Post-master General, and still later one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States; but, in consequence of official engagements requiring McLean’s presence in Washington, Mr. Harlan’s preliminary legal studies were completed in the office of Judge Collett, an eminent jurist then residing in Warren County.
In May 1825, Mr. Harlan settled at Darwin, then the county seat of this county, and, at once, engaged in the practice of his profession-traveling, as was the custom, with the Judge, from county to county, throughout the circuit. He was soon recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in the circuit, and obtained a practice which that reputation merited. But, even such a practice, at that day, monopolized only a small portion of time and brought but a small income; for there was little litigation in the country, and what there was, was not such as commanded large attorneys’ fees. There were but two terms of court in the year, and in but a single county in the circuit did the term last a week—in all the others it terminated at the end of from one to four days. Accordingly, in the intervals between terms of courts, Mr. Harlan had an abundance of leisure time—and this, for some time, he divided between assisting an elder brother, Jacob, (who held all the important county offices and that of village postmaster,) in the discharge of his official duties, and fishing and hunting, of which amusements he was always passionately fond.
Within a few years after settling at Darwin, Mr. Harlan was elected a justice of the peace, and this office he held until he was elected a Circuit Judge.
In 1832 he was married to an estimable lady, Miss Lucinda Hogue, the daughter of an old pioneer and highly respected citizen, and she still survives to mourn his death.
During the sessions of the General Assembly, between 1828 and 1834, Mr. Harlan was several times elected to Clerk-ships connected with the current sessions.
In the summer of 1832, he served a three months campaign in the “Blackhawk War,” as second lieutenant, in a company from this county of which John F. Richardson, long since deceased, was captain and the late Woodford Dulaney was First Lieutenant.
The session of the General Assembly of 1884-‘5, re-organized the Judiciary, relieving the Supreme Judges from holding circuit courts as they had before that time been required, and elected five Circuit Judges. These were Richard M. Young, Stephen T. Logan, Sidney Breese, Justin Harland, Henry Eddy, and Thomas Ford. Harlan’s circuit was the 4th Chief Justice Wilson’s old circuit. He was commissioned January 9, 1835, and at once entered upon the discharge of the duties of his office. Eddy resigned his office in February 1835, and Alex F. Grant was immediately elected and commissioned in his place. His circuit was the third and included all of Southern Illinois, proper; Harlan’s circuit included Vermillion and White counties and all the intermediate territory. In the fall of 1835, Harland and Grant exchanged circuits, in order to afford opportunity for the trial of causes without change of venue, in which they had been concerned as lawyers—and thus Harlan, during his term, held Circuit Court in every county then organized, in full one-third of the entire Territory of the State.
Of all the judges elected with him, the venerable Stephen T. Logan alone survives him.
In 1837, Mr. Harlan removed to a farm which he had purchased, at the long since extinct town of Aurora, located at a point two and a half to three miles above Darwin, where the Wabash River making a curve to the westward touches the Illinois bluff. Here his family resided until in 1839, when he removed to this place were his home has ever since continued.
The General Assembly, by the act of February 11, 1841, re-organizing the Judiciary, legislated the Circuit Judges out of office—Mr. Harlan included with the rest, and required the Circuit court to be held by the Judges of the Supreme Court. From this date until his election as Circuit Judge by the people, Mr. Harlan engaged actively in the practice of his profession, and is all cases not depending upon the efforts of advocacy alone, he was universally conceded to be without a superior among those who practiced at the bar of the circuit. In 1843, he was the nominee of the Whig party, in this district, for Congress-but his party being largely in the minority; the Democratic nominee, Mr. Ficklin, was elected.
In 1847, Mr. Harlan was elected, conjointly with Dr. Tutt, delegate from this county—(the late Hon. Uri Manley being at the same time delegate from this senatorial district,) to the convention called to frame a new constitution for the State. In that body of able and distinguished men, he occupied a prominent position and he bore a conspicuous part and wielded a controlling influence throughout all its deliberations.
In September 1848, Mr. Harlan was elected by the people Judge of the fourth Judicial Circuit—his competitors for that office being the late William Wilson, for near thirty years Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the late Hon. Charles II. Constable, afterwards his successor upon the circuit bench. In 1855, he was re-elected Circuit Judge. In 1862, he, for a brief time, resumed the practice of the law;--but, in 1862, upon receiving an appointment from his personal friend, President Lincoln, to an Indian agency, he abandoned his profession—and, since then, he was never attempted to engage actively in its practice. He performed the duties of Indian Agent until in 1865, when he returned to his home, and devoted his time chiefly to straightening up and setting in order his private affairs; until in 1873, when he was elected Judge of the County Court of this county. He held this office for one term. Since then, his time has been occupied in looking after his domestic affairs, in reading, and in the enjoyment of the society of his friends.
Lawyers, competent to know, say that Mr. Harlan was, by, nature, a great lawyer. He had, in the maturity of his manhood, a memory that was almost marvelous. His mind was acutely analytical, and his sense of justice was almost unerring in discriminating the right from the wrong. He had a large heart, throbbing with charity and mercy for those who, by reason of weakness rather than from inherent wickedness, transgressed the law; but for those who boldly defied the law, and willfully preferred the wrong to the right, he was stern and inflexible in meting out the punishment demanded by the law.
He was plain and simple in his dress, habits and tastes. He had but few wants, and they were of the simplest character and easily satisfied. He was without vanity, and associated on terms of intimacy with the humblest and the lowest, with as much apparent satisfaction as with those whom the accidents of fortune had more favored. He was imminently social, and always cheerful; and his presence frequently brought sunshine and cheerfulness, where that of others would have brought clouds and discontent. In his domestic relations, he was all that a good man should be. He was fond of little children, and as is always the case, they, in turn, were equally fond of him. Many a bright little eye will be blinded with tears, when it is known that is no more.
He was truly a great and good man—an honor to the community and the State in which he lived—and his name should ever be held in grateful remembrance. (Clark county Herald, Wednesday, March 18, 1879, page 5)

Charles Henry Leeth, farmer, left home at an early age, working at various jobs in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Louisiana, eventually settling down in Ohio. His first marriage, to Alta Sutton, ended in divorce. On December 7, 1916 he married Mary Gertrude Colvin. To this marriage were born five sons and one daughter. Charles and Gertrude raised their family, along with the children of his first marriage, in Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio, eventually moving to Miami County, and then Preble County, Ohio.
In 1918 Charles was inducted into the United States Army but after only a few days he was discharged by reason of physical disability: he suffered from serious varicose veins. Charles worked as a Machine Repair Foreman at Chrysler Airtemp Corporation in Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio while maintaining a farm in Preble County. He retired from Chrysler and continued farming. Charles ran a small shop , on his farm, where he sharpened scissors and saw blades. He suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 88.
Memories: by Patricia Beck Hormell
Grandpa Charlie liked to make homemade beer and watch wrestling or westerns on television. He would become very animated when watching TV and sometimes we wondered how his recliner survived the pounding on the arms and agitated movement of his legs. He also liked to cook when grandma was away for the day, shopping with my mother. I remember he put together some interesting dishes. One time he used leftover pork to make filling for sandwiches; like ham salad, but with ground pork.
Most people thought grandpa was gruff and strict, but I always got along well with him. In fact, I thought he was just covering up a warm heart. He played jokes on me, let me tag along with him and taught me how to drive. He let me drive the tractor for plowing, planting and spreading manure. I even got to drive the truck, on the road to town, before I was old enough to have a license.
They did a lot of butchering on the farm; cows, pigs and chickens. The part I didn't like was the sound the cows made when they knew they were going to be slaughtered, or the squealing of the pigs when they were castrated. The best part was the good eating - especially the fresh 'cracklins'. Grandpa warmed them in the oven and they were yummy! You can't find anything in the store like the old fashioned, crispy 'cracklins', with most of the fat gone. They were pressed into a form similar to a one layer cake and when warmed the aroma filled the kitchen. Heart stopping good and cholesterol filled I am sure, but no one worried about cholesterol then. While the men finished butchering a cow, Grandma would take the fresh liver to the kitchen where she fried it with onions; the only way I like liver. It tastes different cooked when fresh.
In one farmhouse there was no heat in the upstairs bedrooms; the bed was piled high with blankets, and quilts that grandma hand quilted. In the morning we would grab our clothes and run for the large floor register in the kitchen to get dressed; the only source of heat.
There were many family gatherings with lots of grandchildren running around, plenty of food, and sometimes watermelon iced down in a tub full of ice and water. During the daytime the kids would catch horseflies and play tag; in the evening we chased lightening bugs and played hide and seek. The adults sat in the shade sipping a cool drink, gossiping and talking about "the good old days". During the winter our gatherings moved to the big farm kitchen. Sometimes the women played Canasta and the men moved to the living room to watch TV and swap stories. My cousins and I would bundle up with so many clothes we could hardly move, then go sledding on the hills. At Christmas grandpa dressed like Santa Claus, with his big bag of goodies to distribute - this went very well until I spilled the beans about who Santa really was to my cousins.
As grandpa Charlie aged he did not like to drive. When he was on the road he drove very fast; not stopping for railroad crossings. He told us if he drove fast "he would get there quicker and wouldn't be on the road as long that way". He also was a little forgetful around machinery. He cut the end of two fingers off cleaning out a circular saw - while it was running. One time he slipped while mowing the yard and cut his toes off. He came in and ask grandma for some old rags to wrap his foot in to stop the bleeding. He wasn't going to the doctor (he didn't believe in them) until my uncle literally put him in the car and took him. Yes he was stubborn! | Leeth, Charles Henry (I5)

James Riggs was born in Washington, D. C, in 1797.When quite young his parents came across the Allegheny Mountains to the west, as the present north-central states were then called. No railroads threaded the narrow winding valleys and crossed the summit of the mountains, and so they took the best conveyance at hand. This consisted of a single horse. On this animal the wife and mother rode, holding upon her lap an older sister of James, while he was placed in one end of a large bag thrown across the horse’s back and balanced on the other side by a Wooly-headed little colored Girl named Sally. To prevent the urchins from smothering, an opening was made for each at the proper place; and the grotesque outfit drew many a villager from his work as the travelers passed along, the father trudging on afoot carrying his gun.
The Marylander first settled in Washington County, on the farm which is now occupied by the town of New Matamoras, in the extreme northeastern corner of the county. There he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Bare in December 1820. The newly married couple removed to Monroe County in the same year, where they remained until 1832, when they came to Gallia County. Here he found a small buckeye cabin about 10x12 feet, located a little below the present Riggs’ landing. The next year a more commodious structure was added to the cabin, the latter being then used as a kitchen. In the course time he built the present comfortable brick building now occupied by his son, Jacob. After many years of usefulness he passed into the great beyond, July 14, 1870, and his body was laid away in Clay Chapel cemetery, the funeral sermon being preached by his pastor, Rev. Daniel Tracy.
It was good that such a man had a wife who was capable of sharing with her husband the cares and responsibilities of life. That such was the case will appear from the following excellent account of her career, written soon after her death, by one who knew her well, Mrs. M. Marshall, now of Columbus, Ohio, and published in a Gallipolis paper:
“Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bare, was born in Hagerstown Md., January 8, 1802, and died at the house of her son, Jacob Riggs, in Gallia county, Ohio, June 24, 1888. Her father was from Germany, and was a second cousin to William I, the late lamented emperor. When twelve years of age her parents moved to Monroe County, Ohio, there in December 1820, she was married to James Riggs.
She and her husband were two, and she the last of nine members who, in 1833, formed the first, class on what is now known in Ohio Conference as Eureka charge. Mother Riggs’s home was the preaching-place and the stopping-place of the itinerant minister.
She was a subscriber and reader of the Western Christian Advocate from its first issue. Her Bible, church periodicals, and other good books, were her daily companions, and rare spiritual and intellectual attainments were the result. Being industrious, large-hearted, possessed of ample means, and ever ready for every good word and work, for one in the quiet walks of life, she exerted a wide influence. Many besides her own rise up and call her blessed.
Modesty, humility, a deep reverence for holy things, added to her zeal and unflinching loyalty, made up a symmetrical Christian character which commanded and won universal admiration from all about her. In her home she was patient, pleasant, and cheerful.
She was the mother of eleven children. Two died in infancy, and two in mature years. Four sons and two daughters are left. Of her father’s family, one sister and three brothers still live.
Her last sickness was of something more than two week’s in duration; the last few days were full of extreme suffering; at one time when her daughter, Mrs. Hanley, expressed a desire that she might live, her reply was, “I am fully resigned to the will of the Lord,” and while suffering great pain she was heard to plead: “Dear Savior, my Savior come in mercy and take me.” The only regret she expressed was that she had not done more good in the world. In the final hours wooing angels seemed hovering about her. At one time looking up in glad surprise she exclaimed: “Oh, Mamma! Why mamma !” Subdued voices about her bed were singing “Palms of Victory,” when suddenly she extended her bands to the angelic throng and when out from among us.” | Family (F2731)
