"James McAfee, Sr. was a large, squarely built man, six feet high, with large bones, strong passions, and great decision of character. He had large hazel eyes. When aroused he was ready for any enterprise, and shrank not from danger. Nevertheless, he was amenable to reason, and could be ruled by gentleness and love."

When the rest of the family migrated to central Kentucky, James stayed behind with his granddaughter, Mary (McAfee) Woods and her family.
8. From Pat Armstrong: "The historical map showed that James McAfee, Sr's land was in the extreme south-west corner of Botetourt County where it now adjoins Craig County and Roanoke County. Some of his land extended across the county line into what is now Roanoke County. That part includes the grounds of a former tuberculosis hospital on state highway 779."
"The Prillaman book is more of a family history book than a genealogy book, although I did find the information on the McDonald family useful for genealogy purposes. The book describes land holdings of various families in Botetourt and Roanoke counties and how the land ownership changed over the years. It has a lot of photos, but the printing process is so bad that the photos look like tenth-generation Xerox copies.
This is the short section titled, The McAfee Family:
"James McAfee, Sr. and his family came to live in the area in 1749. A deed was recorded February 17, 1747 for his land in a settlement known as Cedar Swamp on Holstein's Branch at place known as Indian Camp. On December 15, 1749 he received a 300-acre grant on the Catawba, a branch of the James.
In 1763 his sons, James, Jr. and George, took over the 300-acre tract of land on the Catawba. They held this land until 1779 when they migrated to Kentucky. The land was sold to Archibald Woods.
The McAfee land on Holstein's branch eventually came into possession of Archibald Fischer, Rene LeForce, Samuel Phillips, George Painter, Robert Scanland, Michael Spessard, Jacob Painter and heirs, A. Reynolds, William Woods and the Chapmans who operated Roanoke Red Sulphur Springs. The property was purchased by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1901 and in 1908 The Catawba Sanatorium was built. Of course, the Sanatorium was to become Catawba Hospital in our time.
The McAfee boys, James, Jr., George and Robert, along with James McCown (sic) and Samuel Adams went on a trip of exploration to Kentucky which took them considerable time. While in Kentucky they completed a number of surveys for good land. However, they were unable to move to Kentucky with their families until after the battle of Point Pleasant because of Indian problems.
The McAfee family, with the exception of James McAfee, Sr., left Virginia for Kentucky in 1779. While there is no record of any person by the name of McAfee in Botetourt County in 1783, information available indicates that James McAfee, Sr. died in Virginia in 1785.
While the McAfee family is no longer a part of Botetourt or Roanoke counties the name is forever brought to mind by the majestic 'knob' rising above all other mountains in the range surrounding the Roanoke Valley."

"His wife, Jane McMichael, whom he called 'Jinny,' was a woman above the average size, tall and dignified. In a deed executed in 1767 she joins her husband, signing her name as Jannet. She had a remarkably fine face, and a prominent forehead. Her eyes were dark grey in color, and her hair black. Her expression combined decision with mildness and conciliation. When her husband would become aroused and angry she knew how to calm and silence him by her gentle and persuasive manner."

PARKE COUNTY PORTRAIT AND BIO RECORD - pAGE 245 This is a long Article so will only highlight the most important parts.
Alexander Buchanan for forty-five years has been Justice of the Peace in WashingtonTwp, Parke County. At the time of his father's death, which occurred on March 29, 1838, our subject came into possession of the old homestead,which consisted of about three hundred and twenty acres, and to this he, with his son Joseph, has added two hundred and eighty acres. As a farmer his career has been very successful and he has laid up sufficient to surround his declining years with every comfort. He was born in the year 1813 in Mercer County, Ky., and is the son of James and Margaret (McCampbell) Buchanan.
The father was a son of George and Margaret (McAfee) Buchanan, the former of whom was born in Va. The Buchanan and Mcafee familes both had representatives in the Revolutionary War. George Buchanan was a Whig in politics and was engaged in battle with the Indians several times. He was reared under the old roof-tree but having a step-mother he started out to make his own living when quite young. He had but one own borther, David, who died when young, but had two half-brothers, William and John. In his native State he married the daughter of James McAfee and shortly after went to Ky, where he entered Government land in Mercer County. His death occurred about the year 1812, in the faith of the Presbyterian Church, which he helped to establish in Mercer Co. He reared a family of Ten children of whom James the the oldested, the others being John, Aleander, George, Polly (Mrs Wm Provine), Margaret (Mrs.Thomas Carr); Jane (Mrs James MCCampbell), Ann (wife of Joseph Woods), Nany (Mrs.Thomas Gilkerson), and Dorcas, wife of Joseph Woods, who is a cousin of Mrs. Ann Woods' husband.
Our subject's father was born in Va and went to Ky when about 18 yrs of age, living with his uncle McAfee. He purchased land in Mercer County and followed frrming during his life-time, though he was in the milling business for a short time with his brother. He was first married in Kentucky, when Rebecca Armstrong became his wife. They had four childre: Margaret, wife of Mathew Taylor; John, George and Robert all deceased. AFter the death of this wife Mr. Buchanan married the lady who become our subject's mother. Of her three children, two died in infancy, and our subject is the only survivor. The father left Ky and on his arrival in Parke County, entered land of the Government this being in 1820. The following yeqar, in October he brought his family in wagons to the place whifh was his home untl his death March 29, 1833.
The gentleman of whom this is a brief bio lived with his parents until their death. He was married in 1839 to Miss Harriet, daughter of Benjamin an Margaret (Youel) Allen, who were natives of the Old Dominion, while Mrs. Buchanan came from the Blue Grass region. Children of our subject: Joseph C; Elizabeth J., wife of John McMutry; William Y who wedded Mary Mitchell and one who died in Infancy."

"On June 10, 1770, he bought 163 acres on Catawba Creek in Botetourt County, Virginia from his father-in-law, James McAfee. George sold the land back to James McAfee on May 15, 1772. He later moved to what is now Washington County, Virginia.
In his father's will, which was proved in 1765, he had received 107 acres of a parcel of land on Walker's Creek in Augusta. In November of 1782, while living in Washington County, he and his brothers, who had also received parcels of the same property on Walker's Creek, deeded that land to their brother David, which amounted to 415 acres.
About 1782 George and Margaret moved family to Salt River in Mercer County, Kentucky. On July 11, 1794, he gave a power of attorney to Arthur Campbell to receive a deed from James Wood for 200 acres on Cedar Creek in Washington County, Virginia, receiving the deed from Mary Wood on November 10, 1794.
George died in May 5, 1813 in Mercer County, Kentucky. We don't have a death date for his wife, Margaret."

"Vallonia, the oldest town in Jackson County, was so named because it is located in a valley. It is situated in Section 29, Township 5, Range 4, and in Driftwood Township. It was laid out by Jesse B. Durham, Judge John McAfee and Thomas Ewing in the year 1810, but no plat of the town was recorded until October 7, 1856, when it was surveyed by Thomas Carr, and Andrew J. Miller was the proprietor. This consisted of twenty- four lots, with Main Street running north and south, and Commerce running east and west. At the time of the organization of the county Vallonia was the largest and about the only town in the county. While this was yet a part of Washington County court was held here and the county business transacted. It took rank among the early towns of Indiana Territory, and at the time the Territorial Legislature was adjourned to meet at Jefferson- ville, two of the five delegates composing that body voted for the meeting to take place at Vallonia. It thereby came within one vote of being the capital of the Territorial government for the time.
Probably the first house built in Vallonia was a small log-cabin, with puncheon floors, stick chimney and greased paper windows, built by Jesse B. Durham, near where Mr. Rick's shoe shop now stands. Other cabins were soon erected, and in 1816, there being some demand for a tavern, Jesse B. Durham built a hewed log house just across the street from where Harrison Durham now lives and opened up the first "tavern." Some time after the location of the county seat at Brownstown this house was moved to that place, and is now used by Frank Fassold for a barber shop."

85. According to Robert B. McAfee, John was a trader who died in South Carolina, "an old bachelor". However, in the "Skiles-McAfee-Liebmann Memorial," A. G. Liebmann states that this John was married Matilda Hopton in 1827, and had three children: William Wallace, Bertha, and Archibald Marion. Colette Outhier (outhier at verizon.net) provided the information from A. G. Liebmann, and is interested in further information on this John McAfee, particularly in substantiating his connection to George and Susan (Curry) McAfee.
Liebmann, August George The McAfee-Skiles-Liebmann Memorial. Self-published, Chicago, 1929. The following information was excerpted from the book by Colette Outhier:
1784 - 1867 "John McAfee, the first child and eldest son of George McAfee, a slave-owner, trader, explorer, adventurer and soldier of fortune, migrated to the Carolinas when he became of age and became lost to his immediate family, was thought by his cousin, General Robert B. McAfee, to have died in the Carolinas, an old bachelor. General Robert B. McAfee died in 1849. 1812 - He served as sergeant in Captain N. Gibbs' Company, Colonel James Bunch's Regiment, East Tennessee Militia, from January, 1814, to July, 1814; at battle of Tohopeka or Horseshoe in General Coffee's brigade.
1827 - He married Matilda Hopton, sister of Enoch Hopton, in Sequatchee Valley, Tennessee, and of this union had issue:
William Wallace, born ...... 1829
Bertha Ann, born ............ 1834
Archibald Marion, born .... 1838.
1838 - He migrated to Gasconade County, Missouri, residing near Drake (P.O.), where his wife died in the same year, and where she is buried.
1842 - He remarried Mrs. Caroline Massie at Mt. Sterling, Saline County, Missouri. She died in Kansas about 1898. She was born (supposedly of Irish immigrant parents) in Smith County, Tennessee, October 27, 1822. (Wid. Cert. 803.)1846-47 - He served as private in Captain Parson's Company F, 1st Regiment, Missouri Mounted Volunteers. Copy of muster roll dated June 20, 1846, at Fort Leavenworth, shows company came from Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri, distant from Leavenworth 190 miles (ninety in the company). Se Doniphan's Expedition, reprint, Crane & Co., Topeka, Kansas, 1907. Also Senate Document 608, 63rd Congress, 2nd Sesion (sic).) 1849 - Operated a steamboat, in connection with other members of his family, out of Hannibal, Missouri, and in 1849 made up a wagon outfit for the California gold rush, taking along his sons, William Wallace McAfee and Archibald Marion McAfee. They left St. Louis with thirty-two head of oxen, a wagon and trail wagon, with about $1,200.00 in provisions, and after six months of very severe hardship arrived in California at the "diggings" with the front wheels of one of the wagons, that had been improvised into a card, and with the scrub-yoke of oxen. The party located placer and cleaned up considerable dust. The following year John McAfee returned home by was of the Panama water route, and they were held up and robbed by a party of brigands, as they were crossing the Isthmus, and most of the treasure stolen. William Wallace, then being of age, elected to stay in "Californy," and the younger brother, Archibald Marion, desired to remain with him, but being a minor, and as customary of the clan and the times, he offered to buy his freedom from parental restraint by offering his father several hundred dollars, which he produced, much to his father's surprise, and the deal was closed. Young Arch had earned this money in his spare time by washing the shirts of the miners at one dollar each.
1855 - John McAfee made a second trip to California by the water route, via Cape Horn Steamer, and then by Nicaragua on his return. On this visit he sounded out his sons regarding secession, but as California was overwhelmingly a free state, having been admitted in 1850 as such, and in their new world they had become converted to the Union unconditionally, after a stormy meeting John McAfee said to his sons: "You nasty Black Republicans, I hope I never set eyes on you again." And he never did. These brothers of Bertha Ann McAfee were last heard from by her about the year 1869. They were mining at Cornucopia, White Pine County, Nevada. The History of the Bench and Bar in Missouri gives a short sketch of his career, but no family history: "A noted character, several times in the Legislature; elected Speaker 1861. Was extreme pro-slavery Democrat. He was not a lawyer."
1867 - John McAfee, after a life filled with action and adventure, died August 5, at Morrison, Gasconade County, Missouri."
Bertha Ann McAfee married George Baker Skiles. Their children were: William, John and Mary, died in childhood; Louisa Jane, married but without issue, and Nancy Caroline. Nancy Caroline Skiles married Henry Liebmann. The author, August George Liebmann, was their second child.

GARRARD D. ECCLES, a citizen of Pleasant Township, is a native of Mercer County, Ky., born March 3, 1820, and was the son of Samuel and Jane (Darland) Eccles, who were respectively natives of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. His father was born March 15, 1788, and was the son of Joseph and Jane (Carr) Eccles, both of whom were natives of Ireland. His mother was born January 22, 1785, and was the daughter of Garrard Darland, who was a native of Scotland. His parents married in Mercer County, Ky., about 1815. They emigrated from Mercer County, Ky., to Johnson County, Ind., in 1835, and located on the farm our subject now occupies, in Pleasant Township, which has been his home ever since, and where his parents both spent the rest of their lives. His mother died November 5, 1853, and his father died August 30, 1859. At the age of twenty he took up the carpenter's trade. This was finished in due time, and furnished his chief employment for a number of years. He also occasionally worked some upon the farm. In 1843, he and his brother, Joseph, went to the state of Iowa. They started on the 14th day of February, and reached Washington County, Iowa, some time in March. During the three seasons following this, our subject was employed breaking prairie land in Washington and Johnson counties, that state. In 1846, he returned to this county, but in 1854, he went to Washington, Tazwell Co., Ills., where, for three years, he worked at the carpenter's trade and clerked in a store. He then returned to the old Eccles homestead, where he has resided ever since. Since 1858, his undivided attention has been given to farming. He has owned the old homestead himself since 1859. He was married December 9, 1857, to Mary G. Lemasters. She was born in Pleasant Township, this county, November 14, 1833, and was the daughter of David and Elizabeth (Alexander) Lemasters. Her father was born in Virginia, November 14, 1805, and was the son of Richard and Gemima Lemaster. Her mother was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Crary) Alexander, the former of whom was a native of Kentucky. Her parents were married in Pleasant Township, in 1828. Her mother died in Pleasant Township in April, 1843. Her father died in White River Township, n August, 1870. Mr. and Mrs. Eccles are the parents of three children, as follows: Samuel B., born November 15, 1858; Albert C., October 20, 1861, and John C., January 25, 1864, all of whom are living. Mr. and Mrs. Eccles, and all of their children, are members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics, Mr. Eccles is a staunch democrat; he has served his township in the capacity of assessor two terms. Mr. Eccles owns a farm of 144 1/2 acres of land, about 100 of which are in cultivation.

As a patriot, ardent, genuine, decided, and beloved. As a soldier, bold, undaunted, and heroic in battle. As a statesman, whether in the service of his country or minister abroad in the house or senate of his native state or as lieutenant-governor and presiding officer of senate, his duties were performed with vigor, energy, and fidelity and recieved the need of public approbation."
130. Robert B. McAfee, Life and Times of Robert B. McAfee and Family, Originally pub. in 1848, reprinted in "Register of Kentucky Historical Society" beginning in 1929, online transcription. Robert B. McAfee described his first meeting of his wife as follows: "This was the 1st day of October [1804], and for the first time I saw my future wife not then twelve years old, I thought her a very pretty little girl, but had no farther thoughts about her as my whole prospects were in another direction." And later, "On the 1st of June [1805] my sister Mrs. Adams called to see me, and noticed Mr. Cardwells daughter Mary (who I afterwards married) & observed to me that she was my girl & would make me a fine wife, she was then only twelve years old The remark struck me with great force at the time, which caused me to take more notice of her than I otherwise would, but I had no idea then that she was to be my wife, yet I was much pleased with her beauty, and took occasion to converse with her I was astonished at her intelligence as well as the ease with which she conversed with me, which was with as much steadiness as if she had been twenty years of age & her language seemed to be far above her age being not only correct but elegant, I soon viewed her as a being of superior order to most females I had met as she would reason & argue with me on many subjects I had supposed she had never thought of."

John Sanders Woods.—In the last century modern improvements have rendered all forms of travel so easy, commodious and comparatively moderate in price that the whole world travels, and seldom does a family stay in one country for one generation after another until their genealogy is fireside history and it is rare indeed that a family that has migrated from the old country to this new one can trace its honored ancestry as far back as the subject of our sketch, John Sanders Woods, of Louisville, president of the Franklin Bank.
Mr. Woods was born in Mercer county, Kentucky, August 23, 1869, and is descended from two old Kentucky families. The Woods family is traced directly back to one Woods who was a trooper in the army of Oliver Cromwell when he invaded Ireland. This Woods was so well pleased with the country that he settled in Ireland, making his home in the beautiful county of Meath. He had a son John, who married a Miss Wallup, a lineal descendant of the Earl of Loftus. In about 1726 five of the children of John Woods, namely, Michael, William, Andrew, James and Elizabeth, migrated to America, all being married at the time, and settled in Virginia and North Carolina, after having traveled and lived for some time in Pennsylvania.
Michael, the son of John the first, was the ancestor of John S. Woods of Louisville. Michael married Mary Campbell; their son Archibald married Isabella ; their son James married Jane McCoun; their son Joseph married Anne Buchanan; their son James married Priscilla Armstrong; their son John married Mary Isabella McAfee, the latter being the parents of John S. Woods, the subject of our sketch. A good long line of fine ancestors from which the present Mr. Woods may justly be proud to have descended.
On the maternal side of Mr. Woods family is another old one with an equally illustrious family tree. The McAfee family can be traced back to John McAfee, a sturdy Covenanter, one of that indomitable band who signed the Scottish National Covenant of 1638, who lived near the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, and who in the year 1672 left his native Scotland and settled in county Armagh, Ireland. His grandson, James McAfee, sailed for America in 1739, with his wife and three children, and after living many years in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, finally settled, in 1755, in Botetourt county, Virginia, where other children were born to them. Their son James was the great-great-great-grandfather of John S. Woods. He married Jane McMichiel and their son Robert, who was the founder of the family in Kentucky, was a mighty Western hunter and a companion of Daniel Boone. He married Anne McCoun, and their son General Robert B. McAfee was United States Minister to Bogota, South America, also lieutenant governor of Kentucky during the administration of Governor Desha, and was acting governor for a considerable portion of the administration of Governor Desha. He was a general at the battie of the Thames. He married Mary Cardwell, and their son William married Anna E. Crockett, the latter being the grandparents of John S. Woods.
The children of John Clelland and Mary Isabella (McAfee) Woods were: Clara, who married N. E. Jones, practicing law in the state of Missouri, where Mrs. Jones died; John Sanders; Loula, who married George Harkless of Lamar, Missouri, whose brother, a prominent lawyer of Kansas City defended Guiteau in the trial for his life for killing President Garfield; Florence married Jacob Siple, now of Nevada, Missouri; Nell H., unmarried, living in Chicago.
John Clelland Woods, father of John S., was born in Mercer county, Kentucky, in 1832, and was a merchant in that section until he moved to Nevada, Missouri, where he was was engaged in merchandizing until his death in 1887. His wife was born in Mercer county, in the old stone house which was built on the site of the old frontier fort at McAfee station, which old house it still standing and is the oldest one in Kentucky. She was born in 1842, and is still living, residing in Louisville.
John S. Woods was fourteen years of age when the family moved to Missouri. He graduated from the High School of Nevada, Missouri, and also attended the State University at Columbia, Missouri. Upon the completion of his education, Mr. Woods returned to Kentucky in 1890, locating in Louisville. For a number of years he had charge of the office of the Belknap Hardware Company, and for the next five years, after leaving the Belknap Company, he was an expert accountant in Louisville, Chicago and New York city. In January, 1908, he organized the Franklin Bank of Louisville and was elected president of the bank at its organization, which position he still retains. He is treasurer of the Kentucky Association of Accountants; a member of the Louisville Commercial Club, and a member of Admiral Jouett Section, Navy League of the United States. He takes an active interest in the Second Broadway Presbyterian church, of which he is an honored member.
Mr. Woods is just in the first prime of his life. The first chapter of an eventful, prosperous and honorable business career has been written, but it is not difficult to imagine what his future history will be, for his salient characteristics are well known. He possesses the enterprising and indomitable spirit of the pro- gressire man and the man of affairs, combined with good judgment and foresight, and, moreover, his business principles and conduct will bear the closest investigation. His success has been of pronounced type and he is known as one of the representative young business men of the estate, in whose future and greater precedence he has the utmost confidence, while a more loyal and enthusiastic citizen of the commonwealth cannot be found.

"Glenn Willis: In 1774, Willis Lee accompanied his cousin Hancock Taylor, his brother, Hancock Lee and a party of surveyors including James Douglass, Isaac Hite, and John Floyd. Just a few days before his death, Hancock Taylor left part of the land he had surveyed to his cousin, Hancock Lee. In 1783, Hancock Lee gave his nephew, Willis Atwell Lee, an acre of ground on at Leestown on the banks of the Kentucky River. Willis built a two story, log home, which was his residence for over thirty years. Lee became prominent in Franklin County, serving as Court Court Clerk. About 1815, Willis Lee replaced his original log house with a one and a half story brick home he called Glen Willis. Lee lived in this residence until his death in 1824. Then in 1832 the house passed to HUMPHREY MARSHALL, who resided there until his death in 1841. A few years after the death of Marshall, William Harrison Murray bought Glen Willis. He remodeled the house and added a third floor. At William's death the house passed to his son, James A. Murray. For many years Glen Willis remained in ruin. Today the house has been completely restored, as much as possible to its original design."

JUDGE JOHN B. HARPER, blacksmith, Palestine, to whom this sketch is devoted, was born February 6, 1813, in Knox County, Ind. He is a son of James Harper, born May 15, 1790, in Fayette County, Ky., who died December 1, 1829, in Knox County, Ind. He was a brave soldier in the Indian war of 1812, participating in the battle of Tippecanoe, where he received a shot in his leg; he carried the bullet in it to his giave. He was married to Peggy Walker, born July 25, 1795, in Mercer County, Ky.; died August 26, 1826, in Knox County, Ind. She was the mother of seven childien. James Harper's father, George Harper, was one of the pioneers of Fayette County, Ky., participating in many of the terrible contests of that country, well called the "dark and bloody ground." He was also in the Revolutionary war; on account of that he received a grant of land in Indiana, from the United States Government. After building a fort on it to protect his family from the Indians, he settled there and commenced to farm, stationing always one of his children with'a horn on top of the tower in the fort so as to be ready to give the alarm if the Indians should be near. Our subject went to school in country log schoolhouses. He came to Palestine in 1830, where he learned the blacksmith trade, which he followed for thirty-six years, when he commenced to farm. He was married, November 16, 1837, to Miss Abigail Everingham, born November 19, 1820, in Ohio. Her father was a millwright; her parents Enoch, and Triphena (Kitchell) Everingham, came from the East. Mrs. Harper was the mother of six children — James E., Mary V., Rhoda A., Charles O., Lizzie Bell and Lucy J. Mr. Harper is one of the most prominent men in the county. He has been honored with the office of Township Justice of the Peace for ten years, and county magistrate for four years; has been School Treasurer, and from 1869 till 1877 has filled the honorable office of County Judge to the entire satisfaction of the people. He and his family are ornaments of our society. Mr. Harper is identified with the Democratic party.
C. O. HARPER, farmer, P. O. Palestine, was born July 17, 1848, in Palestine. He is a son of Judge John B. Harper, who was horn February 6, 1813, and is one of the most prominent men in the county. He has filled satisfactorily various offices the last one was that of County Judge, which he tilled for eight years. He was married to Miss Abigail Everingham, who was born in Ohio, and who is the mother of six children. Our subject was educated in Palestine.

Present
Miss Edmunds
What I endeavored to say on yesterday, I must try this morning to communicate in writing. I love you sincerely & fervently, and could I have an assurance from you that I am the chosen of your heart & judgement, I could live and die for you. My suspense is unpleasant and will it not be cruel to hold me much longer in doubt, when a word, yea a look, can do it? Do I have any interest in your heart and may I hope to possess yr hand? Are your affections, or yr head, or both unsatisfied? As a Christian, a minister of our Savior, and your lover I seek an answer. This note returned as it is, will be taken as a negation.

My dear Martha
I wrote on Saturday last -- Since that I have determined to come by Louisville, Hardinsbury, and Hartford. From all that I can learn, it is the nearest short route.
It has been raining ever since Monday. It is now cold and cloudy. The roads are so bad, + all the circumstances such, that, as anxious as I am to get home, I have concluded to put off starting until Saturday evening. I think I can get home by next Thursday night. It is only 140 miles. Rain and roads may however detain me. You have some experience on this subject.
I will endeavor to get you a shield in Louisville. None is to be had in this place.
All are well.
Some in this place are very much disposed to give me a call to this church.
My dear Martha is the all absorbing subject of my thoughts. I do hope + pray that she is well, and happy, still I am afraid that [?] chills + fever may have her prostrate on her bed.
I write in haste -- with great love + affection I am yours

William and Evelyn Edelen were Peter's 3rd-great grandparents. Also sent excerpts from the "History of Cass County, Missouri" with additional Edelen information. "William B. Edelen was engaged in the drug business in early life at Danville, Boyle County, Kentucky, and later removed to Jessamine County. This was about 1866 and he was engaged in farming and stock raising about nine miles from Nicholaville, until he came to Missouri with his family in 1872, reaching Cass County, January 22. They came by boat as far as Cairo, Illinois, making the trip on the "Robert Mitchell" and "Dove." From Cairo they made the trip to Pleasant Hill by rail. In 1874 the father bought a farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, where was was successfully engaged in farming and stock raising until his death, March 24, 1898."

DWIGHT A. MCAFEE is conducting a splendid dairy farm of some four hundred acres in Shelby county, Kentucky. He is a well known representative of agricultural interests and he was at one time actively connected with mercantile affairs in this county. As a business man he is widely known and held in the highest esteem for his straightforward methods, which have ever been of a character that will bear the closest investigation and srutiny. He stands to-day a strong man, strong in his honor and good name and in the regard of his fellow citizens, which is uniformly tendered him.
In Mercer county, Kentucky, on the 20th of December, 1859, occurred the birth of Dwight A. McAfee, who is a son of William H. and Mary J. (Armstrong), both of whom were likewise born in Mercer county, where they passed their entire lives and where their deaths occurred. The father was a farmer by occupation and he was a citizen of prominence and influence in his home county. To Mr. and Mrs.William H. McAfee were born four children, whose names are entered in respective order of birth, -- Dwight A., Nannie, Irene and William, Jr. Dwight A. McAfee, the immediate subject of this review, grew up on the old homestead farm and his boyhood was not dissimilar to that of many another country lad. He assisted his father during the busy seasons and attended the district schools during the winter terms. After attaining to years of maturity he was engaged in the hardware business at Lawrenceburg, Anderson county, for a peirod of five years, at the expiration of which he disposed of his store and stock and became a traveling salesman for the hardware firm of Robinson Brothers & Company, continuing in the employ of that prosperous concern for fully a quarter of a century. His long term of service well indicates how satisfactory were his efforts as a salesman and it is needless to say that he was eminently popular among his customers, his affability and unfailing courtesy going a long way to insure business.
In 1906 Mr. McAfee turned his time and attention to farming operations, and in that year he purchased his present fine estate of four hundred acres in Shelby county. He resigned from his position as salesman for Robinson Brothers & Company in 1909 and he now directs all his energies toward improving and cultivating his farm. He is interested in diversified agriculture, and in the dairy business, caring for his breeded cattle in connection with the latter line of enterprise.
Mr. McAfee is decidedly successful in his various business ventures, the same being due to persistency of purpose and a determination to forge ahead and make the most of every opportunity. In his political convictions he is aligned as a stalwart supporter of the cause of the Democratic party and while he has never had time nor desire for political preferment, he contributes in generous measure to all projects advanced for the good of the general welfare. He and his wife are active workers and devout members of the Presbyterian church and they hold a high place in the confidence and esteem of their fellow citizens.
In Franklin county, Kentucky, Mr. McAfee was united in marriage to Miss Martha M. Berryman, whose birth occurred in Woodford county, Kentucky, on the 4th of November, 1867. She is a daughter of Robert H. and Maria L. (Whittington) Berryman, both of whom were natives of Woodford county, where the father was a representative agriculturist until his death. Mrs. McAfee was the tenth in order of birth in a family of eleven children, and she grew up and was educated in her native place. Mr. and Mrs. McAfee have three children, - Irene B., born June 3, 1888, is the wife of Adam McMakin; Henry B. was born on the 29th of July, 1890, and he remains at home, as does also Clinton J., whose natal day is the 20th of August, 1898.
Mr. McAfee is a man of broad experience and fine intelligence and he is clearly entitled to classification among the leading citizens of Shelby county - a man whose marked individuality is the strength of integrity, virtue and deep human sympahty.

"She reared seven children of her own, and twice that many negroes. She never became reconciled to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. . . . Mrs. Bennett was firm in the faith that Presbyterians are the salt of the earth. One of her greatest crosses was that four of her children, Anne Hamilton, Mary Coulter, Joel A., and Genevieve all married outsiders."

PART III
When William Ewing started on horseback from Gayson County, Kentucky in 1828 to look for a new home, he was accompanied by two or three neighbors who were on the same mission. They came up into eastern Illinois as far north as Kankakee.
Not liking that part of the country he started southwest near the present site of Bloomington, then into Sangamon County, near Springfield, then south and east until he came to Coles County. He settled some five or six miles north and west of Farmington and 1 1/2 miles northeast of Lerna.
In 1829 he brought his family, which consisted of his wife and four children, to this place. My grandfather, William McAfee Ewing, was born at this place April 21, 1832.

J. R. BLACKWELL. grocer. Litchfield, was born in Fayette County. Ill., in February, 1844, the city of his birth being Vandalia, the old capital of the State, where he lived about ten years, when he moved thence to Hillsboro, Ill., at which place he lived with his uncle, the Hon. J. T. Eccles; in June, 1861, at the age of sixteen years, he enlisted in the Eighth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, under Col. Richard J. Oglesby. his company being B, under Capt. Sturgis; under the call for three-months' volunteers, he served three months, during which time the regiment was quartered at Cairo, Ill.; on July 5, 1862, he re-enlisted, at Hillsboro, in the One Hundred and Seventeenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, in Company B, under Capt. R. McWilliams; he participated in the campaign from Vicksburg to Meridian, Miss., in the Red River campaign, in Arkansas and Tennessee, in the Nashville and Fort Blakely canrpaigns, the Tupelo and Price campaigns, in the campaign against Hood in Middle Tennessee, and in the Mobile cam- paign; thence to Montgomery. Ala., where the regiment was at the close of the war; in all, his regiment marched 2.187 miles, traveled by rail 778 miles, and by water 6,191 miles; they captured two stand of colors and 442 prisoners of war; Mr. Blackwell never was wounded, taken prisoner, off duty, nor in the hospital; he was mustered out on July 5, 1865, and would have veteranized if the war had continued; on his return from the army, he studied law with Maj. McWilliams, of Litchfield, where he located for practice, be-ing admitted to the bar in 1867; he practiced his profession here for eight years; from 1869 to 1877. he served as Postmaster of Litchfield, and went out under the general order of President Hayes that no re-appointments be made when there was a contest and the incumbent had served eight years; the largest number of names ever signed to a petition was sent to the department from this place, indorsing him and asking for his re-appointment; the petition contained the indorsement of Senator R J. Oglesby, Gov. Beveridge and Congressman Gen. J. S. Martin, the petitioners numbering 1,500. He was Alderman from the Second Ward two years, and was defeated for Mayor in 1878 by a small majority; in that year, he engaged in mercantile business at Benton, Ill., continuing about two years. when he returned to Litchfield and here engaged in the grocery business; he has now a model grocery, on Kirkham street, called the "Wabash Store," and is doing a leading business. In 1866, he married Miss Hattie, daughter of Rev. P. P. Hamilton, of Litchfield; she died in 1878; to them were born three children, two girls and one boy. He re-married, in 1879, Miss Alice, daughter of Rev. Hugh Corrington. Robert Blackwell the father of our subject, was born near Shelbyville, Ky., in 1802; he learned the trade of printing at Hopkinsville, Ky., and, when a young man, came to Illinois, locating at Kaskaskia in 1815, at which place he became editor of the first paper over printed in the State; it had been established shortly before the time of his arrival, by Matbew Duncan, wbo was also from Shelbyville, Ky. ; the paper was styled the Illinois Intelligencer. Mr. Blackwell became public printer of the new State, and was at one time State Auditor; he was twice elected to the State Senate from that district in Illinois. When the capital was removed from Kaskaskia to Vandalia, he removed there, and resided there thirty years, during which time he was engaged in mercantile business, being a long time the partner of William H. Browning, late of Chicago; he died in 1870, leaving one son and two daughters by his second marriage, their mother being a sister of Hon. J. T. Eccles, of Hillsboro. He was three times married, his first wife, who bore him no children, being a sister of Dr. Stapp, of Decatur, Ill.; his widow, nee Miss Mary Slusser, from Ohio, lives at Vandalia; his demise leaves a vacancy felt by the public, and one not easily filled.

"My problem: The marriage of Sarah Neeld to Joseph Blackwood. Sue Foy was very kind in sharing information with me. One of the documents she sent was a letter from John Neeld to F. White (probably Frank White) - a letter which notes the date of the Neeld/Blackwood marriage as February 6, 1806. This is also the date you show on your website.
I read the marriage bond's date as March 23, 1807. The marriage record is dated March 26, 1807. Can you recall any other record supporting the February date?
(If you'd like copies of the bond and marriage record, please let me know! They are Mercer County, KY Marriage Bond Book 1798-1807, page 676 and Mercer County, KY Marriage Book 1, page 124.)"
(She sent a copy of the marriage record, and it does indeed say March 26, 1807).
469. Phone call from Jim Blackwood (5/13/04) with information on John Forsythe Blackwood, son of Joseph Blackwood and Sarah Neeld. John F. Blackwood was actually married twice - his first marriage was to Jane Pollard, in Quincy, IL in 1851. From this marriage came their son, Frank. Jim descends from Frank. Jim has Joseph Blackwood's date of death as 14 Feb 1847.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SHORT HISTORY OF THE CYNTHIANA CHURCH
The Presbyterian church of Cynthiana was organized in 1829 by Rev. William H. Forsythe and Rev. Samuel Taylor, but a congregation having trustees to represent it existed for some years before that date. From the record of the County Clerk's office it appears that on the 21st day of August, 1820, Richard Henderson and Isaac Miller conveyed as a free gift to the trustees of the Cynthiana congregation of Presbyterians, under the jurisdiction of the Synod of Kentucky, two contiguous lots of ground on what is now Pleasant street, "for the purpose of having erected thereon a house of worship and a pond for horses." About the year 1825 a church building was erected on the spot now occupied by the resident of N.B. Wilson, Esq., and when cellar of the residence was dug a few years ago the workmen removed the stones that had formed the foundation of the old church.
The situation of the building lot was not satisfactory, for in 1837 the present lot on Main St. was donated to the congregation by William Lamme, and the first building was taken down and removed to this Main street lot. On account of conflicting claims that arose from a defective title, the church was for some years disturbed by a vexatious lawsuit, which, however, was at last decided in favor of the church; for, in January 1847, in order to clear the title, Samuel Moore of Missouri, in who the title was originally vested, deeded the lot to "the trustees of the Presbyterian church under the entire management and control of the General Assembly Presbyterians." On account of this wording of the
deed, it was necessary for the present organization to secure the title again after the division in the Synod of Kentucky in 1867; consequently in 1873 the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America readily granted a quit-claim deed, as the church for some years had been in connection with the Southern General Assembly.In 1876, the building of 1837 was torn down and after many years of effort the present fine brick edifice was completed and dedicated in 1887. The lecture-room was finished in 1881 and was used until the completion of the auditorium. The total cost was about $15,000 and the building is a very substantial and convenient house of worship. The congregation has recently built a very comfortable manse, convenient to the church edifice and in a delightful location.
The church was at first connected with Ebenezer Presbytery and on Thursday, October 4, 1821, Presbytery held its regular meeting in Cynthiana, though no mention is made in the minutes of Presbytery of a church or church edifice, and no elder is mentioned as representing the church. Preaching was kept up by supplies appointed by Presbytery, by Rev. William H. Forsythe, Rev. Samuel Taylor, Rev. W.D. Gallaher, Rev. D. Whitney and Rev. J.T. Hendrick, who is now living at Waco, Texas; but the church seems never to have had a resident pastor until 1861, when the Rev. Geo. Morrison became the regular pastor and continued two years. In 1865 came Rev. R.H. Kinnaird and in 1866 Rev. John D. Matthews. In 1869 Rev. H. Glass began work as stated supply and was installed pastor in July, 1870. In 1873 Rev. B.M. Hobson began his ministry here; in 1879 Rev. J.E. Triplett; in 1881 Rev. J.S. VanMeter; in 1886 Dr. G.W. Keady; in 1889 Rev. J.W. Graybill, and in 1890 Rev. A.G. Buckner, the present pastor.
The church was organized with thirty-four members. The membership now numbers one hundred and ninety, thirty-three new members have been added since June 1, 1895.
