|
| 1303 | The enemy took possession of the fort (Freeland), and allowed the women and children to remain in an old building outside of the fort, on the bank of the (Warrior) run. At a preconcerted signal, Capt. Hawkins Boone, who commanded a fort on Muddy run, (about 600 yards above its mouth, and two miles above Milton,) came up to the relief of Freeland's fort, with a party of men. Perceiving the women and children playing outside of the fort, he suspected no danger, and incautiously approached so near that the women were obliged to make signs to him to retire. He retreated precipitately, but was perceived by the enemy, who with a strong force waylaid him, on the Northumberland road, at M'Clung's place. Boone's party fell into the ambush, and a most desperate encounter ensued, from which few of the Americans escaped. William Miles, (now of Erie co.,) was taken prisoner in Freeland's fort, and afterwards, in Canada, Col. McDonald mentioned to him, in the highest terms of commendation, the desperate bravery of Hawkins Boone. He refused all quarter - encouraged and forced his men to stand up to the encounter; and at last, with most of his Spartan band, died on the field, overpowered by superior numbers. Cornelius Vincent and his son, Bethuel Vincent, (father of Mr. Vincent of M'Cuneville,) Capt. John Lytle, William Miles, and others, were taken prisoners at the capitulation (at Fort Freeland). Capt. Samuel Dougherty and a brother of Mr. Miles were killed in the fight. Peter Vincent escaped in the flurry occasioned by Hawkins Boone coming up. Sam Brady, James Dougherty, and James Hammond had cautioned Boone against keeping the road, in his retreat; and they themselves, refusing to accompany him along the road, took the route through the woods, and escaped. | BOONE, Capt. Hawkins (I5994)

|
| 1305 | The family has been established in America from Colonial days, and is of Dutch origin, Baron Waldron, its founder in this country, having come from Holland to what was then New Amsterdam, now New York, in 1660. After the English took possession of New Amsterdam the family moved to New Jersey, and Cornelius Waldron, above mentioned, moved from Hunterdon county, N. J., to Pennsylvania in 1785. His first location was near Muncy, in what is now Lycoming county, and he afterward bought a farm in Brady township, that county, still later buying land at the mouth of Muddy run, in Northumberland county. He moved his family to this place, where he was accidentally killed while felling a tree. He was laid to rest in the old Warrior Run burying ground. Cornelius Waldron served as a captain in the Revolutionary war and after its close was captain of a military company. | WALDRON, Capt. Cornelius (I6042)
|
| 1306 | The family was boarding with Emanuel Davis, attorney, probably because they were burned out in the great fire a month before the census.

| 1312 | The following obituary is copied from the Christian Advocate: William Murray was born August 26, 1796, in Northumberland county, Penna., and died June 13, 1886, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. James Black, Lancaster, Penna. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church April 3, 1821, and continued in her fellowship. He was an active, faithful member, filling the positions of trustee, recording steward, class leader, teacher and superintendent of the Sunday school until within a few years, when deafness precluded such duties. The cause of Christ as represented by the Methodist Episcopal church warmly engaged his activities. He was a life-long student of the Bible, which was his favorite book. When no longer able to appear in the Bible class, he, up to his last Sunday, studied the Sunday school lessons. He was a subscriber for the Christian Advocate from its first number. Actively engaged in business from early manhood until 1879, he was always and everywhere known as a devout Christian. For many years his health was delicate, but his intelligent care and methodical habits prolonged his life. He lived in readiness for the Master's call. The body had been failing for some years, but his mind continued vigorous to the last. His conversation was sprightly, with memory clear and prompt. On the Sunday morning of his death he arose early and prepared to dress for the 'holy, blessed Sabbath day.' While in prayer his remaining strength failed, and being aided, he dressed, and sitting in his easy chair, partaking of breakfast, his hand fell, and in a few minutes, with a face calm and sweet, his spirit passed to the Master. A few days before his death, in conversation with his pastor, he stated that the time of his departure was near, and requested that no sermon be preached at his funeral, lest more might be said than his life would warrantthat he was only 'a sinner saved by grace.' He requested that the 103d Psalm and the 14th chapter of John be read. JAMES BLACK. | MURRAY, William (I3554)

| 1321 | THE McCORMICK FAMILY - The ancestry of the McCormick family is traced to James McCormick, of Londonderry, Ireland, one of the signers of a memorial to William and Mary in 1689. His son, Thomas McCormick, was born in 1702 and immigrated to America in 1735, locating in Paxtang township, Lancaster (now Dauphin) county, Pennsylvania. In 1745 he removed to East Pennsboro township, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1762. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Adam Carruth, and they were the parents of six children. The eldest, Thomas McCormick, was born in the North of Ireland in 1727, and died in East Pennsboro township, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, in 1778. In 1756 he married Jean, daughter of John and Mary (Patterson) Oliver. Of the five children born to this union the eldest, John McCormick, removed to Northumberland county in 1794 and was the progenitor of the branch of the family to which this sketch more particularly relates. He was born near Silver Spring, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 26, 1757, and died in his adopted county, September 22, 1815. He married Ann, daughter of John Sample, and they had issue as follows: Elizabeth, who married John Cook; Robert, who married Mrs. Eliza Wood, nee Montgomery; Jane, who married John Sample; Maria; John, who married Martha Giffen; William, who married Rachel Slote, and Sarah, who became the wife of David Davis. | MCCORMICK, John (I1849)

| 1340 | The Vincent family was of noble origin. Louis Vincent, the first ancestor to come to America, was born in 1676 in France, during the reign of Louis XIV in that country and of Charles II in England, of an old Huguenot family, and came to America after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The family first settled in Alabama and there became large slave owners, selling their slaves some time before the war and then coming to what is now Chillisquaque, Northumberland Co., Pa. Bishop John H. Vincent erected a beautiful church at Tuscaloosa, Ala., in memory of the family. John Vincent, son of Louis, was born Jan. 26,1709. On Dec. 1, 1733, he married Elisabeth Doremus, and they had children born as follows: Esther, July 2, 1734; Cornelius, April 15, 1737; Rachel, Feb. 24,1739; Elisabeth, May 27, 1741; Elisabeth (2), Sept. 13, 1743; Jane, Feb. 28,1746; Mary, March 5, 1748; Benjamin, March 10, 1751; Peter, Jan. 18, 1754. | VINCENT, Bishop John H.

|
| 1344 | They (his parents) were Presbyterians, and for several years attended the Warrior Run church, where they, together with John Brown, Esq., and George Hammond occupied a pew for which they paid an annual rental of one pound fourteen shillings and sixpence. | HAMMOND, George (I10590)
|
| 1345 | They had lived in Ankenytown, Knox Co., OH where he owned and ran a store and warehouse, and ran the post office that was inside his store. | Family: GREEGOR, H. William / CROUSE, Elizabeth Rebecca (F2643)
|
| 1346 | They had sold the family home at 250 Center Street in early 1905. | Family: CADWALLADER, Albert / SUPPLEE, Annie Louisa (F357)
|
| 1347 | They moved to Iowa City, Johnson Co., IA about 1853, where William continued to be a tailor. They may have moved from Illinois prior to arriving in Iowa City. He may have managed a hotel in Stephenson Co., IL. Then he and Lucy and some of their children moved to Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., IA around the Spring of 1867, where he was engaged in another hotel business with his stepson from Lucy's previous marriage. | CROUSE, William Turner (2) (I7876)

|
| 1349 | They were married at St. John's Reformed Church. | Family: WOODLING, Murray / ESCHBACH, Anna (F1597)
|
| 1350 | They were married at the Advent Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, PA by Reverend Enoch Hooven Supplee. We do not know for sure how they met, but can speculate. Albert Cadwallader, then twenty-seven years old, was engaged in the grocery and provision business in Milton, Pennsylvania. During the Civil War he had served as an agent responsible for getting supplies to soldiers at the front. Two of Annie's uncles were businessmen in Philadelphia and J. Wesley Supplee was head of his own commission merchant firm and a bank president. Philadelphia was the logical supply source for a firm in Milton, and Albert Cadwallader probably had business connections with the Supplees. Opportunities must have occurred for him to meet their attractive young niece. | Family: CADWALLADER, Albert / SUPPLEE, Annie Louisa (F357)
