Notes

Henry Hormell was a soldier in Lord Dunmore's War (a campaign promoted by Virginia Royal Governor John Murry) that proceeded the Revolutionary War. Henry and his two brothers, John and Jacob were paid off at Fort Pitt (present Pittsburgh.) This indicates they were Virginians, and Virginia and Pennsylvania both claimed the lands along the Monongahela in what is now southwestern Pennsylvania. The Virginians created a separate county in the area called Yohogania. The Hormells were of French Huguenot heritage. These French Protestants had suffered much for freedom of conscience at the time of the infamous Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day and again when Cardinal Richielieu revoked the Edict of Nates, which for a century had guaranteed the Protestants freedom of worship in France. The brothers probably were from the sizable Huguenot settlement near the James River in Goochland and Powhatan Counties, Va. - the so called Manokin settlement.

The three brothers established farms on the west bank of the Monongahela River in what is now the East Bethlehem Township of Washington Co, Pa. The land holdings were named in the Virginia manner, Henry's being called "Peach Garden." Henry settled on this land in 1770, five years before the Revolutionary War. The 414 acres and 56 poles was warranted to Henry Hormell by the land office in Philadelphia on February 16, 1786. It was surveyed on June 1, 1786 and a patent issued to Henry Hormell on May 12, 1789. The two other brothers also owned adjacent land known as "Garland" and "Eutaw".

The Huguenot Hormells in the Monongahela Va joined another group of dissenters, the "Quakers". The Quakers had established meeting houses in Monongahela valley and when the Hormells came from Pa to Ohio they brought the Quaker
tradition with them to Warren Co.

In 1777 during the Revolution, Henry took as his bride Eleanor Lee. Eleanor was the daughter of William Fairfax Lee and was living on his plantation "Point Pleasant" near the Hormell properties. In around 1808 Henry and Eleanor pioneered to Warren Co, Ohio and acquired land in Clearlake Twp.

It appears that there was a large migration from the Monongahela Valley to Warren Co, Ohio that included Henry's brother John who had came west in 1797 around the same time that John Lee, Eleanors brother had came with his family.

Henry was a farmer. He and Eleanor shared a marriage for fifty-six years and produced eleven children. Many are buried near Ridgeville, Oh in Warren Co. Henry's grave is marked with a bronze marker placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Earliest known residence, Fayette County, Pa. probably near Brownsville. Moved with his family to Ridgeville, Warren County, Ohio in 1808. Revolutionary Soldier, Ensign in Captain Swaney's Company, 5th Battalion. In the certificate showing his appointment on February 14, 1782, his name is given as Henry Hormill. Source: Letter from William G. Hormell]

Henry Hormell was thirty years old and Eleanor Lee was fourteen at their marriage. Henry and his brothers John, Sr. and Jacob (perhaps half-brothers or cousins?) fought in Lord Dunmore's War and later they served in a militia company in western Pennsylvania on behalf of American freedom from Great Britain during the American Revolution.

John Hormell, Sr. came to Warren County, Ohio about 1797. Jacob Hormell married Jane Miller and became a Quaker. They lived out their lives in Washington County Pennsylvania.

Henry Hormell and his wife Eleanor Lee came to Warren County, Ohio from Washington County Pennsylvania about 1808. Their farm was along the east side of the "Dayton Pike" north of Lebanon and a bit north of Merrittstown and Pekin in Clear Creek Township. [Source: Jack T. Hutchinson, "A Quaker Migration to Southwestern Ohio", (March 1996), pg. 16]

John and Henry Hormell raised their families on the Pennsylvania frontier, but did not stay there to die. But, before they could answer the call of the Ohio frontier, they were caught up in the political events and wars of their times which made it possible for the early west to be settled. Western Pennsylvania was no sooner settled than the Americans were looking for more lands to settle which could be easily reached by traveling down the rivers which lead westward to the Mississippi. The Shanondoah (sic) Valley in Virginia and the Kanawha River valley in what is now West Virginia were next. Both the Cherokee of Tennessee and the Shawnee of Ohio considered Kentucky as their hunting ground although no tribe actually occupied it. By 1774, the Indians, who had heard of the settlers that would be coming soon, were ready to fight to defend what they believed to be theirs. In April of 1774, a minor Shawnee attack on a surveying party was used as an excuse for a fiery proclamation which urged the frontiersmen to defend themselves. The excitement of the war alarm swept through the West. Such able-bodied men as Henry, Jacob, and John Hormell signed up at Pittsburgh to be in the militia. The Indians sent messengers to Pittsburgh to plead for peace, but these men were attached and killed on orders from the commander Dr. John Connolly. With this, Shawnee patience reached its breaking point, and young warriors started attacking outlying settlements to avenge the 13 Indians who had died in other skirmishes. On June 10, 1774, Governor Dunmore of Virginia sent word to the frontier settlements all over the West that war had begun.

The conflict that broke out then, known as Lord Dunmore's War, was a struggle for land between two antagonistic civilizations. The area in question was Kentucky, land wanted by the Indians for a hunting ground, and by the Americans for homes and farms.

We can imagine what the Hormells thought as they travelled down the Ohio River to the mouth of the Hocking River with Lord Dunmore's troops and saw the fabulous lands that were to be had merely by staking out a claim on them. As the army proceeded through what is now Athens, Hocking, and Vinton counties toward Chillicothe, the Hormells must have realized that these rolling hills could be even more profitable and fertile that the fields they plowed back in Pennsylvania. Their first glimpse of the wonderful, well watered Ohio country must have started them thinking about migrating farther west in quest of greater land possessions. We know from the "Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, 1775-1783" that they returned to Pittsburgh where they were paid off in 1775 for their service in the Colonial Militia. If, upon return to their homesteads along the Monongahela River, any of the Hormell boys contemplated moving farther west, those plans were quickly terminated by the beginning of the American Revolution. The American Revolution stopped practically all migration west for the next eight years while most of the men became involved in one way or another, for or against, in that great struggle for independence in North America.

By autumn of 1789, a new war with the Indians had developed. By 1790, the urge to move west was growing stronger and stronger. For frontiersmen living in western Pennsylvania, taxes were getting too high, land was too expensive, and for some, it was getting too crowded. The lure of land "northwest of the Ohio" became even stronger as land speculators advertised in the east, telling of the "cheaper" more fertile lands that were to be had if a farmer were willing to take a year off from farming to move by taking a raft down the Ohio River to one of the new settlements. However, there was one problem preventing most frontiersmen from moving northwest of the Ohio River. The land still legally belonged to the Indians. Lord Dunmore's War, only freed land south of the Ohio River to white settlement.

In 1795 the Treaty of Greenville was signed. In it, the Indians surrendered all of Ohio except a strip along Lake Erie, a triangle of land in Indiana, and some trading posts. They agreed to move farther west and break their alliance with the British. A new stretch of territory was opened up for American settlement.

With the Indian problem out of the way, the Hormells still had one problem to overcome before they could go west - transportation. Up to this time, almost everyone floated down the Ohio on a raft. This could be dangerous, especially when it came to moving a whole household because of the numerous rapids on the way. In 1796, the first road across Ohio, Zane's Trace, was built from Ft. Henry, Virginia, (now Wheeling, West Virginia) to Zanesville, down to Chillicothe and onto Maysville, Kentucky on the Ohio River. From Chillicothe, another road was built through Williamsburg to Columbia, Ohio. These roads were impassable stretches of mud in wet weather, but in the winter, the surfaces were covered with deeply packed snow and ice which smoothed the road to a relatively easy transportation route. After Zane's Trace was completed, the pioneers could migrate during winter, moving their household goods by sled from Ft. Henry to the Cincinnati area in about two weeks. It is unknown whether the Hormells came to the Miami Country by raft on the Ohio River or by winter sled over Zane's Trace.

Henry and Eleanor Hormell moved to Warren county in 1808 where they settled on a 113 acre farm in Franklin Twp. on the east side of the Dayton Pike. Henry died in 1834 and Eleanor died in 1835 and both are buried in the Clear Creek Baptist Cemetery north of Ridgeville in Warren County,. Henry's family did not all follow him to Ohio. Many of them married in Pennsylvania and remained there to raise families. However, at least two children did come to Ohio. Mary, the first daughter, and Henry Hormell, Jr., the sixth child and second son. [Source: Stanley Wright Aultz, "Chronicles of a Griffis Family", Miamisburg, Ohio: S. W. Aultz 1981]

Henry Hormell, son of Henry and ____ Hormell, came to the Brownsville, Pa. area around 1770 with his brothers, Jacob and John. He purchased a farm called "Peach Garden" on the northwest boundary of John's farm. We find that he was a trustee of the Taylor Methodist Church in 1790. Taylor Methodist Church's first log building was constructed in 1784.

Henry Hormell, as before stated, served in Dunmore's War and the Revolutionary War. He served in the revolutionary War as an Ensign in Capt. R. Sweeney's 5th Bn. Washington county Militia Thomas Cook, Lt. Col.

Henry Hormell married Eleanor (Ellinor) Lee (Lanah-?) in the late 1770's. she was born December 24, 1765 (some records show 1763).

Henry and Eleanor moved to Ohio in 1808 according to a letter written by Mrs. Benjamin Smith of Stockstone, Calif. early in the 1940's. they took up land from the government three miles west of Lebanon on the Dayton Pike living on the east side of the road. This was in Clear Creek Twp., Warren County, Ohio.

Henry Hormell was listed as a farmer the same as his brothers, Jacob and John.

Henry Hormell died on February 16, 1834. Eleanor Lee Hormell died March 4, 1835. Both were interred in the Baptist Cemetery (Churchyard), Ridgeville, Ohio.
