Thomas Beck, second son of John Beck of Lisburn and Annacloy, was born circa 1680 at Lisburn, County Antrim. From 1725 to 1727 he was co-lessee with his brother Robert of the Annacloy estate "at pepper-corn rent." He later settled at Ballyguningham, Donacloney Parish, occupying land presumably held previously by his brother John. A lease for portion of this land or all extension to same was negotiated in 1728 "for term of twenty-one years or natural life of Lessee," he being then "aged about forty-eight years". Thomas Beck married Jane Prunty (or Prundy) at Annaclone Parish Church 1739, who was presumably his second wife. The famous Haworth family of Bronte originally spelt their name as Prunty, and as their forbears came from Loughbrickland a relationship in some degree is not improbable. Thomas Beck died intestate, predeceasing his wife who died June 6, 1787 and was buried in Annaclone Parish Churchyard. He left four sons. ~(Reference: John W.

Thomas ffrench, founder of the New Jersey branch of the French family, resided, in 1680, the year of his migration to America, in Nether Heyford, a parish in the hundred of Newbottle Grove, county of Northampton, seven miles south by west from the city of Northampton, England. This parish is very ancient, the church of S. S. Peter and Paul having been erected in the early part of the thirteenth century. the first patron was Roger de Heyford, in 1216. The register that has been preserved begins in 1558, showing the French family parishioners as far back as 1560. The church is a splendidly preserved specimen of Norman architecture. (Source: Compiled and Published by Howard Barclay French, Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas French - Volume I: With some account of Colonial Manners and Doings (Philadelphia: Privately Printed, 1909), pg. 40.)
...As will be observed, Thomas ffrench, the progenitor, was the son of Thomas and Sara ffrench. His baptism, in childhood, in 1639, in the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, Nether Heyford, England is recorded, but when the religious Society of Friends arose he with other members of the family became actively identified therewith, suffering for his faith at different times. Upon one occasion he was sentenced to imprisonment for forty-two months for refusal to pay tithes to the amount of eleven shillings, he being at the time a resident of Upper Norton, Oxfordshire. Five other names of this family appear in Beese's remarkable book, namely, George, Robert, John, William and Moses. Penalty was inflicted upon the latter five times. He served altogether several years in prison.
...That Thomas ffrench was a man of great force of character, intense religious conviction and earnestm, consistent life, is abundantly evident. he shared with his associates trials and hardships and always resented everything bearing the slightest resemblance to injustice or oppresion. A glance a the most vigorous efforts were made to suppress the Society of Friends. Their meetings were outlawed, their property unjustly taken, through fines and the imposition of tithes, and great numbers were thrown into prison, where they were cruelly treated, hundreds suffering unto deathl.
...Following is a literal copy of references to Thomas ffrench in "Sufferings of the People Called Quakers":
..."Thomas French, of Upper Norton, was imprisoned, in 1657, at suit of William Thomas, a lawyer and renter of Tithes, and for a demand of but eleven shillings for Tithes suffered two and forty months imprisonment." Vol. I, p. 564.
..."Thomas French was taken from meeting at Banbury, in 1662, and committed to prison." Vol.I, p. 568.
..."Thomas French, 1666, taken at meeting at house of Elizabeth White, at Coggs, near Whitney, committed to House of Correction for one month." Vol. I, p. 571.
Thomas ffrench was among the first to take a practical interest in the colonization of Friends in America. With William Penn, Gauen Laurie, Thomas Olive, Daniel Wills, Edward Byllnge and about one hundred and fifty others, he signed the famous "Concessions and Agreements,: at London in 1676, which provided for the settlement of New Jersey, It is evident from records that he made a preliminary prospecting visit to this country, to locate his land and select a home site. He has left an account of the coming of himself and family, three years after the arrival of the pioneer colonists. He sailed from London, in the ship Kent, Gregory Marlowe, master---the same vessel which brought the first company of settlers in 1677 to Burlington---about the 1st of August, 1680, with his wife and nine children, four sons and five daughters, the oldest child being sixteen, while the youngest was not yet four years of age. He settled upon a tract of 600 acres of desirable land located along the banks of the Rancocas, about four miles from Burlington. Throughout the remainder of his life he held and influential place in the colony and prospered in business. He was commisioner of highways 1684-5. At his death, in 1699, he was possessed of some 1,200 acres of improved land and also his proprietary share of unsurveyed lands, approximately, 2000 acres. During nearly twenty years residence as a leading citizen of Burlington County, Thomas ffrench trained all his children in ways of sobriety, industry, and religion, they in turn founding families in whom traits of stron characher were noted. Each performed his and her share in the prosperous and happy development of colonial life.

...Thomas French, the eldest son of Thomas and Sarah French (Ffrench), was born in Nether Heyford, England, Oct 1639, and on 3 Nov 1639, was baptized in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in that parish. He was reared in the faith of the Church of England, but as a young man was attracted to the doctrine preached by the Society of Friends (Quakers), and was one of the most enthusiastic followers of George Fox. As a Quaker he suffered many persecutions and trials (documentation on record) for his beliefs and spent many months in prison.
...He had met and fallen in love with Jane Atkins, of Nether Heyford, at this time and on 12 Jun 1660, they were married in the parish church at Whilton, Northamptonshire, England by the Rev. Richard Morris. Why they were not married in their own parish is not clear, but on 8 Mar 1663, at the request of Jane (Atkins) French, the Rev. John Bedford, of Nether Heyford, entered the marriage in his records.
...Over the next few years England was too warm for Thomas French. The authorities were continually annoying himn because of his Quaker principles. It is no wonder that he took keen interest in the plans of William Penn and other leading Friends to found a religious asylum in the "New World". In Mar 1676, the "Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey, in America", were published. This is one of the great historic documents in America, for it formulated the principles of equality and righteousness which were afterwards incorporated the Government of the colony, but also provided for fair dealings with the abrigines of New Jersey. It was signed by 150 prominent Quakers, headed by William Penn, and among the signatures on that immortal Constitution the name of Thomas French was conspicuous.
...In 1677 the famous ship, "Kent", under the command of Gregory Marlowe, sailed from England, conveying the first English families to colonize West New Jersey. It is not known whether Thomas French was on this vessel, but it is a known fact that he came alone to America to look over tha land and make plans for his home. Then he returned to England for his family, and on 1 Aug 1680, he and his family came to New Jersey on teh "Kents's" second voyage. In due time they arrived in Burlington County, and settled on a tract of 600 acres on the banks of the Rancocas Creek, about four miles from the newly founded city of Burlington. 8 May 1692, his wife, Jane, died at their home at Rancocas, New Jersey. While his grief was no doubt great at the loss of this staunch companion who had been by his side through his troubled years, 6 Jun 1694, he announced his intention to go to England, and asked two close Friends to inquire into his "Clearness upon the Account of Marriage" and by their report as also several other neighbors the meeting was satisfied to give him a "Certificate from the Meeting" which was accordingly done. This procedure meant that the Meeting was requested to issue to Thomas French a certificate showing that he had not entangled himself with other women - that he might freely wed the lady of his choice. 25 Jul 1695, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Stanton, a member of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, where the ceremony was performed.
...Thomas French was destined to survive this marriage only a few years; he died in 1699 at Rancocas, Burlington County, New Jersey, and was buried beside his first wife in the fas burial plot, on his plantation in Rancocas. From his will, it would appear that in his last years he had contemplated returning to England - as he had planned in 1694 - but death evidently altered his intention. At his death he was one of the largest landowners in the Province, possessing 1200 acres of improved land, and in addition to this domain, his proprietary shares of unsurveyed land gave him approximately 2000 acres.
...Thomas French was a man of strong and forceful character, and was blunt and outspoken in his comments. He frequently had cause to regret his hasty remarks and actions, and seldom hesitated to apologize, if he believed he was in the wrong. Nor would he refuse to retract his statements if, in his opinion, he had justice on his side. He was a deeply religious man, and performed his tasks as a member of the Society of Friends with conscientiousness and devotion.
...Thomas French, in accordance with the custom of his family for generations, and that of nearly all Protestant Englishmen of his time, had his children baptized in the Church of England, notwithstandinghis early sympathy and unity with the Society of Friends. The obligation thus assumed, as to the reliqious care and training of his children, was faithfully kept, the family Bible being an impressive witness in this respect. He had issued, by his first wife, Jane: Sara (died and infant), Jane, Rachel, Richard, Thomas, Hannah, Charles, John, Sarah, Mary, Jane, Lydia, an infant; by his second wife, Elizabeth; a daughter, Rebecca.

Thomas Harlan, Yeoman, Friend, born "Nigh Durham, in Bishoprick, England," where he remained until early manhood, when with his brothers and others he crossed over into Ireland and located in the Parish of Donnahlong, County, Down. It is supposed that he remained there during his life, and that he was buried in the burying grounds at Lurgan Meeting House, County, Armagh. He m. 2, 7, 1680, by ceremony of Friends at Lurgan Meeting, held then "at the house of Francis Robson," in the Parish of Sego, County, Armagh, Katherine Bullock (Friend), b.---, d. 3 mo.1690, County, Down, a daughter of George Bullock, of the Parish of Donnahlong. They were parents of one son Ananias, and of four daughters, Rebecca, Patience, Christian, and Katherine.
Thomas married second, 11, 8, 1702 Ailice ffoster, of "Lisnegarvy, at Richard Boyes house, Ballinderry Meeting, County, of Armagh. They were the parents of two sons, James and Thomas, and one daughter, Abigail.
The names of George Harland, Alphonsus Kirk, etc., are among the signers to Thomas Harland's first marriage certificate, but it seems that he did not venture to cast his lot in the new world. So far as we can learn he remained in Ireland; his descendants, some fifty years later, crossing into Pennsylvania, and settling in Chester County,. [Resource: Alpheus H.

Thomas Heald, father of William and grandfather of Samuel, the immigrant, was also born in Mobberly about 1622. He married Elizabeth Hobson in 1645 and they had at least 7 children born between 1647 and 1666. An effort to trace the Hobson family uncovered a William Hobson in Mobberly, contemporary of Elizabeth (Hobson) Heald, possibly her brother and a John Hobson family in Stockport, who appears to be of a younger generation (Quaker Quarterly Meeting records for Cheshire).

My Dear Harry & Helen,
—Greetings in His name. We were indeed very glad to get your letter day before yesterday telling us about Helen's condition. Also yesterday morning a letter came from Dorothy telling us of the nature of the operation as contained in a letter to them. We are so glad for the information, especially since the information is encouraging. I suppose that you are thinking about this being the 20th and about the happy event eleven months ago today. This little one sure is a prize possession. She is such a healthy, happy little one and is so affectionate. We are enjoying her and Jon so much. Jon was so happy & busy when I left, carrying his cases out in front and placing them by the maple tree to be gathered up today. H, Bob and I went down to U. B. after school yesterday to do some cleaning up for Aunt Lou. She ask us Sunday if Bob couldn't come down some time and clean the garden off so she could have it plowed and sowed in grass. Jon & I went with him and mowed the lawn, Jon helped some as best he could. He was such a nice boy. Bob found some little baby rabbits in the leaves. He was so interested in them. He is to go to Dayton tomorrow afternoon and Dorothy is to meet him and take him out to spend Sat. with the boys and they will all come over Sunday.
—Last week Aunt Lou had an attack with her heart and she is having to be very quiet. She says that she can do is to get something for her to eat. She is all alone. Minnie has not returned. I do not think that she expects her to stay with her when she does return. Bernie & Emma McKay are very good to her Emma has been looking after the furnace.
— I fired it & Bob carried out the ashes before we left. She says that she is so cold. I suppose her circulation is very poor. She said that she thought she would come to Xenia today for she had heard from Carl Marshall that things are ready for her to sign papers etc.
—Mother & I went to the funeral of Max Barnard yesterday. afternoon at Neeld's Parlor. He died very suddenly Sat. evening. I had an appointment to fill his teeth at 1:30 P.M. Monday, I wondered why he didn't come and didn't know why till I picked up the Gazette at home and saw the notice of his death. He was in the office Thursday P.M. and made the appointment. He was engaged to Martha Beam. It seemed that most of the Beam family were at the funeral. It was a very large funeral. He was a member of Flenners Church in Dayton and he preached the funeral sermon.
— Bob says that he expects to have to go to Cincinnati by the 19th of May for a physical examination. He & Clarence Schardt went to Dayton day before yesterday to see if they could enlist in the Navy but they found that they couldn't and would have to come under the draft. He thinks that he will not have very much time after commencement before he will have to go.
— Jno Pramer is down at Camp Breckenridge in Kentucky now. I imagine that they have given up trying to get him ready to go out into combat service again. Bill Earnest is in England and is so home sick. Fred Harrison & Ralph Lucas, Jr. are in Calif. ready to be shipped out. Bill Harrison is in camp in Virginia. He may go soon. His wife was down to see him over the week end. I did not get this finished this A. M. It is now almost 5 o'clock & I will finish it & get it in the mail as I go home. Mother had both of the children down for their nap when I left at noon. They are both good sleepers. Jon slept all the time we were gone to the funeral yesterday p.m. and we had to wake him to get him ready to go with Bob & me. I do hope that you are continuing to improve. God bless you both. Much love.

Tomys Swartwout was one of the earliest importers of tobacco from New Netherland to Western and northern Europe, one of earliest settlers of New Netherland (present day United States), and a founder of Midwood (originally Midwout), Brooklyn, New York. He started a wholesale tobacco business in Amsterdam, joining his older brothers Wybrant and Herman, in 1629.
Swartwout and family left Amsterdam for New Netherland in March 1652. Swartwout, Jan Snedeker and Jan Stryker solicited from Director-General Peter Stuyvesant the right to settle together on the level reach of wild land (de vlacke bosch) or flat bush, adjacent to the outlying farms at Breukelen and Amersfoort. Through Swartwout's suggestion, the settlement was given the name of the village of Midwout. In April 1655, Stuyvesant and the Council of New Netherland appointed Swartwout a schepen (magistrate), to serve with Snedeker and Adriaen Hegeman as the Court of Midwout. Being one of the original settlers, Tomys Swartwout was granted letters-patent by the Council of New Netherland, Director-General Stuyvesant, and the Dutch West India Company of 116 acres on April 13, 1655.

Train Strikes Truck: Driver Only Bruised
Dixon — David Leeth, 53, of Haviland RFD 1, driver for the Haviland Clay Works, escaped with shock and bruises Tuesday when his tractor-trailer outfit was hit by a westbound Pennsylvania passenger train at the Market Street crossing in Dixon.
Leeth, who was slumped in the demolished tractor cab when members of the train crew found him, was treated at the office of a Payne physician.
According to Allen County, Ind., authorities, the crash occurred a few feet inside the Indiana side of the street which is the state line.
Leeth was northbound and did not observe the train until the tractor rolled onto the westbound tracks.
The tractor was hurled back on the eastbound main tracks and was demolished. There was no damage to the trailer, which was empty, and little damage to the Diesel engine, which proceeded on to Fort Wayne. | Leeth, David Edward (I45)

Union Township
James Benham was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania August 9, 1784, and died in Union Township, Warren County, Ohio at the age of eighty-five years and sixteen days. His father, Peter Benham, removed with his family to the present site of Newport, Ky., in the winter of 1793-94, where he stopped on a tract of land belonging to Capt. Robert Benham. The next year, Peter Benham returned to Pennsylvania on business and died there, leaving in Kentucky his widow and five children, James, John, Peter, and two daughters, afterward Mrs. Thompson Lamb and Mrs. Nathan Smith. The widow removed to lands near Turtle Creek, purchased with the proceeds of Peter's estate. She died in 1805, when her eldest son, James, was just twenty-one years old. At his mother's request, he promised her not to marry until his young sisters were grown up, and to keep them together. True to his promise, he remained single until 1818, when he married Miss Mary Robinson; in 1821, he married Miss Mary Russell, and in 1827 he married Mrs. Lydia Irwin. By his first two marriages he had no children; by his third wife, his children were James I., Mrs. Rebecca Snook, Mrs. Martha Stokes and Mrs. Lizzie Bone. James Benham was twice elected Justice of the Peace, but he never sought office. His long life was passed as a quiet farmer; in politics he was a Whig, and afterward a Republican; in religion he was for the last forty or fifty years of his life a Universalist. Gen. Durbin Ward, who was the intimate friend of James Benham wrote soon after his death: "The writer who knew him as the highest type of humanity--an honest man--and who loved him for nearly thirty years, mourns the loss of the wisest man he ever knew, and whose daily life he would be glad to be good and great enough to follow as an example." | Benham, James (I2449)

Valentine and family, along with son-in-law Thomas Connway, left Ireland because of religious persecution. Their refusal to adhere to the State Church had brought penalties & fines upon them. They sailed in 1682 aboard the "Sea Lion:, settling in New Castle County, Delaware. Valentine had a plantation of 1000 acres on Shelpot Creek.
The family is originally English. Though persons of this name lived in Cheshire, there is no proof that this immigrant traces his roots to that shire. Nor is there any proof that he was son-in-law to Henry Cornish, the High Sheriff of London who was executed in 1685. Valentine came from Lurgan MM in County Armagh. Newark Meeting House (Delaware) was built on land that he donated. He served as Justice of the Peace, and an Assembly-man for many years.
Valentine's name seems to appear frequently in early histories. his descendants, however, fan out & straggle away. [Source: Immigrant Ancestors of Miami 'Valley, Ohio, Quaker Families: Summer 1984, pg. 7]
...The meetings in New Castle County "on Delaware" received an important migration of Irish Friends, and although now within the State of Delaware, in those early days were in that part of Penn's possessions known as "The Territories" or "Lower Counties" of Pennsylvania.
...About 1682, several Friends with their families arrived and settled near each other on the east side of Brandywine Creek, in New Castle County. Among these were; Valentine Hollingsworth, from Parish of Segoe, County Armagh, justice of the peace and for many years a representative to the Provincial Assembly.
...They held meetings for worship at the houses of Valentine Hollingsworth and Cornelius Empson. Valentine Hollingsworth lived on a large plantation of nearly a thousand acres on Shelpot Creek, in Brandywine Hundred, about five miles north-east of the present City of Wilmington, Delaware, and in 1687, he gave "unto ffriends for A burying place half an Acre of [his] land for ye purpose there being Some already buried in ye Spot. ffriends have referred fencing of it." A meeting-house was afterward built on this plot and the meeting known as Newark, from the name of the plantation which in the original survey of 1684 was called 'New Worke,' doubtless a corruption of Newark. A meeting was continued here until 1754, when the Friends "being suited with a better conveniency, it was laid down."

VAN OSDALE.
Benjamin Van Osdale, sixty-four years old and a resident of Fort Wayne for the last eighteen years, was found dead in a room over a barn in the rear of 1738 Lafayette street about 7:00 a.m. Monday. The discovery was made by Charles Miller, a lad of fifteen years and a grandson of the dead man.
Death occurred after 5 o'clock this morning as he was seen at that hour feeding his horse and was probably due to heart trouble superinduced by a congested condition of the lung from which he had been suffering for several weeks. Dr. J. B. McEvay had been prescribing for him two or three months and Van Osdale called at this office Sunday and was in such a serious condition that he could not speak for a few minutes after he had climbed the stairway to the physician's office.
Sunday afternoon he called at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Miller, 1038 Grant avenue, and asked his grandson to come down this morning and help him care for his horse and do some other work. When the lad arrived he called his grandfather several times and receiving no answer went to the head of the stairway leading to the room in which Van Osdale lived alone. He was afraid to approach the bed upon which the dead body lay and gave an alarm and a physician was called.
Van Osdale was formerly a resident of Monroeville and lost one of his hands in a thresher before he moved to Fort Wayne. He has a family, but had not made his home with his wife and children for four or five years. Surviving him are the widow, three sons—George Van Osdale, who is a farmer residing near Robison park; William, living at 2336 Smith street, and employed as an engineer on the Pennsylvania; Merit, who lives at the same address and who is a brakeman on the Pennsylvania, and three daughters—Mrs. William Cowell, of 2020 John street; Mrs. Charles Cowell, of Gay street, and Mrs. Miller. He was an expressman by occupation.
After Coroner Stults had been called to vieww the remains the body was removed to the Bloom undertaking rooms to be prepared for burial. | Van Osdale, Benjamin (I6237)

Battle of Chickamauga
September 18-20, 1863
Estimated Casualties: 34,624 total (US 16,170; CS 18,454
Description: After the Tullahoma Campaign, Rosecrans renewed his offensive, aiming to force the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps comprising Rosecrans’ s army split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. In early September, Rosecrans consolidated his forces scattered in Tennessee and Georgia and forced Bragg’s army out of Chattanooga, heading south. The Union troops followed it and brushed with it at Davis’ Cross Roads. Bragg was determined to reoccupy Chattanooga and decided to meet a part of Rosecrans’s army, defeat them, and then move back into the city. On the 17th he headed north, intending to meet and beat the XXI Army Corps. As Bragg marched north on the 18th, his cavalry and infantry fought with Union cavalry and mounted infantry which were armed with Spencer repeating rifles. Fighting began in earnest on the morning of the 19th, and Bragg’s men hammered but did not break the Union line. The next day, Bragg continued his assault on the Union line on the left, and in late morning, Rosecrans was informed that he had a gap in his line. In moving units to shore up the supposed gap, Rosencrans created one, and James Longstreet’s men promptly exploited it, driving one-third of the Union army, including Rosecrans himself, from the field. George H. Thomas took over command and began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill. Although the Rebels launched determined assaults on these forces, they held until after dark. Thomas then led these men from the field leaving it to the Confederates. The Union retired to Chattanooga while the Rebels occupied the surrounding heights. Result: Confederate victory | Colvin, Samuel S. (I9)

W. B. Thacker, farmer; Ridgeville; was born in Clermont County, Ohio, Jan. 5, 1838; is a son of William and Hester Thacker. The grandfather was Townsend Thacker, who, in 1815, with his family and two or three other families, emigrated from Essex County, N. Y., to Ohio. They came via Buffalo to Pittsburgh, and there purchased a flat-boat on which to descend the Ohio to Cincinnati. The wagons and other goods were placed on the boat, while his son William, then 18 years of age, and a younger brother, came overland with the horses, six in number; a greater part of the distance was through an almost unbroken wilderness; they expected to meet the boat on their arrival at Cincinnati, but, owing to the low stage of water in the river, it had not arrived. For six long weeks, day after day, the boys watched for the boat; finally, it made its appearance. Imagination can hardly portray the anxiety of those boys, as they waited day after day and week after week, being entirely ignorant of the cause of the boat's delay, not having heard a word from them after leaving them at Pittsburgh. After spending the winter in prospecting in Indiana and Kentucky, they finally settled near Goshen, Clermont County, Ohio. William, the father of our subject, was born in Essex County, N. Y. April 22, 1797; was married, in 1818, to Hester Beatty, a native of Bedford County, Penn; she died, in 1844, leaving a family of seven children, of whom five still survive. Subsequently, Mr. Thacker married, for his second wife, Mary Lackey, by whom he had five children, all of whom are still living. In the year 1849, Mr. Thacker with his family removed to Defiance County, Ohio. The subject of this sketch grew to manhood, receiving but limited privileges for obtaining an education, and these few were in the common district schools, and, after 11 years of age, he was limited to three months each year, and those who are familiar with the limited school facilities of the sparsely settled county of Defiance thirty years ago can realize how meager were his opportunities; but, by his own personal effort, with persistent study at home, he acquired a fair education and when 19 years of age commenced teaching and has taught at different times--in all about five years. In 1861, he enlisted in Company C, 2d O. V. I., and served three years and three months in the 1st Division, 14th Army Corps, and participated in most of the battles in which that division was engaged; he was severely wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, but returned to duty and was mustered out with the regiment at Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1864. In 1865, he was married to Miss Callie Lackey, by whom he has four children--Roland, Agnes, Hettie and Edna. In 1869, Thacker was elected Clerk of Clear Creek Township, and re-elected twelve successive years. [Source: Chicago: W. H.

W. S. Stokes, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Waynesville, Warren County, Ohio, Jan. 14, 1835. His parents, Ellis and Hannah (Morgan) Stokes, were both natives of New Jersey, of English descent, and were both raised as Quaker. Our subject attended the schools of his native county and devoted his time to the work of the farm. He has always been an industrious and careful man, and has acquired during his useful life a large and valuable property and comfortable competency. His farm of 125 acres is of the best land in the county, and the improvements he is constantly making on it increases its value and beauty daily. Mr. Stokes has reared a family of six children, viz.: Alice, Lydia B., Hannah M., Frank, Lizzie and Arthur E.; all except Alice now at home.
