8104	Moved to Rising Sun, Ohio County, Indiana, in the fall of 1818 and to Switzerland County, Indiana, in 1819. "Autobiography Rev. Joseph Tarkington": The Slausons were English. My father, Simeon Saluson, Sr., ws from Stamford, Connecticut. He was the son of, I think jonathan Slauson, who is said to have died August 31, 1820. The names of Jonathan's children were Jonathan, Elihu, Simeon, Daniel, Jonas, Sarah, Lydia, Rhoda, and Polly. My father's surname, correctly spelled, was Slauson. After we moved from New York to Indiana, and he had entered his land, the United States patents for his land came from the Government spelling his surname, as the grantee, Slawson, instead of Slauson, and the neighbors generally in writing spelled it that way. So father got into the havit of writing a W unstead of a U in his name. Uncle Elihu Slauson was the father of John Budd Slauson, late of No. 16 46th Street, New York City, and "before the war," of New Orleans, Louisiana. Uncle Elihu's wife's name was Esther. Aunt Polly married Dan, and lived in Brooklyn, New York, with her daughter, Adaline hunt. She was ninety years of age when I last saw her, n 1876, I do not remember my grandmother's maiden name. I remember knowing only Uncles Elihu, Jonathan, and Daniel, and Aunt Polly; although I remember an Aunt Rhoda, she was father's sister. My mother was born near Ballton springs, New York. She was at her Aunt Sally Brown's, in Orange County, New York, when my father saw and courted her; although I have heard that they firt met at a sleighing party on North River. My mother had brothers, Lewis Wood and Halsey Wood, and, it seems, to me, a David Wood, a sister Mary Wood, and Hannah Wood, who married a Mr. Minor Mills. Father was younger than Uncle Elihu. They bought and lived on a farm in Orange County, New York, three miles from Middleton, where we used to go to the Presbyterian Church, and hear Mr. Jackson preach. Father, however, used to say he did not like to hear him, because he preached with gloves on, and prayed with his eyes open. Uncle Elihu and we lived on the farm within a dozen rods of each other, having one large yard in common..... My father was a cooper, and made wooden canteens for the soldiers in the War of 1812. I remember holding a light at night for him to see to make them, he worked one Sunday also. He did not work much on the farm, but attended to his coopering, making mostly butter firkins, meat and whicky barrels, well-buckets, etc. uncle Elihu attended to the farm. The farm was in Orange County, New York, twenty-five miles fro Newberg, nine miles from Goshen, and three miles from Middleton.......... In the spring of 1819, father walked through the snow the one hundred and fifty miles up into Ohio, and brought the horses, and we moved over to what was afterwards our home-place, nine miles north of Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana, about a mile south of what is now Bennington. Father had bought one hundred and sixty acres on the east side of the road, intending to move there; but a Mr. Ingersoll owned one hundred and sixty acres opposite, west of the road, and had cleared about three acres and put up a cabin, which he let us move into while he went back to Butler County, Ohio, to bring his family; but his family being averse to coming further West, he sold his land to father. We staid in the cabin three years. It was at the west side of what became the "old orchard," and was on the edge on the woods. The wolves used to howl around the cabin in all manner of voices, each one appeared to have a dozen. I used to carry the water in summer, after the day's work was done, from Hildebrand's, a mile south of us. I would take four wooden buckets, fill all four, then take two half-way home, go back and bring the other two up to them, take two home, and go back for the other two. We ground corn in a hand-mill, bought of Butcher, who moved up into Decatur County...... I was thirteen years old, the oldest of six children, when we moved to the cabin, was strong and healathy, and helped father clear ground, piling and burning brush and logs, besides helping mother all I could about the house. Work was plenty and help scarce.... After living for three years in the cabin, we moved into a house father had meantime built on the land he first bought on the east side of the road. It was a hewed-log House, of one large room, about twenty feet square, and a shed room on the first floor, and a room up-stairs over the large one. We had two large beds, with a trundlebed across one end of the large room, and in that room we cooked at a large fireplace, the shed and the room up-stairs were bedrooms. there, from December 27, 1830, and March 17, 1831, Daniel, Josephus, Malissa, and Mahala died of winter, now called typhoid, fever. Sisters Matilda and Maluda were born thre; also Daniel and John..... I was converted at a prayer-meeting in a little log-house up the branch of "Indian Kentuck," at the house of Mr. Marlow, three or four years before I was married. No preacher was there, but the neighbors had simply gathered for prayer. Zenas Sisson led the meeting. Daniel Sisson, Mr. Gardner and his wife, the Chittendens, some of the Mitchells, Jonathan Andrews, and Mr. Jacques were there. Revs. Allen Wiley and aaron Wood were the circuit preachers at the time, and John Strange presiding elder. I afterwards joined the Methodist episcopal Church at a meeting in the schoolhouse about a half mile north of Zenas Sisson's sawmill, Rev. Allen Wiley minister. None of my family had joined then. rev. Allen Wiley and family lived about three mles east of our house, on a farm. Rev. John Strange baptized me at a camp-meeting held on father's farm after I joined Church....... My husband, Rev. Joseph Tarkington, came as a Methodist preacher on the circuit where we lived in 1830. One Sunday in the spring of 1831, as I was on horseback, riding home from John Cotton and Amanda Clark's wedding, he rode up by my side, and asked me if I had any objections to his company, and I said I did not know as I had. He had been stopping at father's on his rounds of the circuit. It was one of his homes. Mr. Tarkington sometime after this, about a month before we were married, as he was starting away on his circuit, handed a letter to my father, which is as follows: August 30, 1831 "Dear Brother and sister, - You, by this time, expect me to say something to you concerning what is gong on between your daughter and myself. You will, I hope, pardon me for not saying something to you before I ever named anything to her, though she is of age. "Notwithstanding all this, I never intended to have any girl whose parents are opposed. Therefore, if you have any objections, I wish you to enter them shortly. I know it will be hard for you to give up your daughter to go with me; for I am bound t travel as long as I can, and, of course, any person going with me must not think to stay with father and mother. "Yours very respectfully, "J. Tarkington. Mr. Simeon slawson, Slawson P O, Switerland Co, Indiana Father thought there would be so many dangers, with suffering and poverty, in being a preacher's wife, that it was a very serious matter, and though he was a man of very few words, he told me as much, while he appeared to be gravely affected. But he wrot note, and gave it to him when he came arund next time, which is as follows: "September 4, 1831 "Reverend Sir, - You express a wish to know if I have any objections to you forming an affinity with my daughter Maria, to which I would reply: If you and my daughter are fully reconciled to the above prposition, which I have no reason to doubt, I do hereby assent to the same, nevertheless, if such a union should take place, it would be very desirable, if you should settle yourself down here, that you would not be too remote from us. "Yours most respectfully, S. and M. Slauson Addressed Rev. Joseph Tarkington Pleasant Township, Switzerland Co, Indiana We were married on Septembe 21, 1831, as will be seen, without a long engagement, and the life of an itinerant Methodist preacher's wife may be imagined from the narrative of my husband....

8131	Mr. Homer W. Brainard of Hartford, who has made an exhaustive study of Thomas Gilbert, states that the cumulative evidence shows that he was the father of Jonathan, John, Josiah, Obadiah, Thomas Ezekiel, Brothers, and Sarah Judkins, wife of Joel Judkins of Braintree, Mass., a sister. They all shared in his estate. Some of the children were young at the time of their coming to Connecticut and there was no other Gilbert there at the time to whom they appear to belong. he bought a house and lot in Windsor of Francis Stiles, Jan. 24, 1644, and seems to have cultivated Stiles' farm. No mention is made in the Windsor Records of him or children as such. the house be bought in 1644, he sold to John Drake and his son Jacob. In a deed from Francis Stiles to Robert Saltonstall, it is specified that the house and land are "at present in the occupation and tenure of Thomas Gilbert and John Bancroft." He continued to live at Francis Stiles' as late as 1651. he bought part of the home lot of Thomas Gunn on the west side of the street and built on it; this last he had sold Thomas Bissell by 1658, and removed to Wethersfield, (Glastonbury Society), where he died. It is thought by some good authorities that his wife was that Lydia Gilbert who was condemned to be hung as a witch Dec. 7, 1654, but from the fact that the funeral expenses of his wife were paid out of his estate in 1659, it would seem that this is either a mistake or that the sentence was not executed.

8135	Mr. John Clarke, one of fifty-eight disfranchised church members, proposed to some of his censured brethren, among these being John Coggshall, to remove from the jurisdiction. Their purpose was to go southward, but while their vessel was passing around Cape Cod, they crossed by land, with a view to sail afterwards to Long Island or Delaware Bay. At Providence they met with friends at Plymouth, they concluded to settle at Aquidneck, now part of Rhode Island. Acting upon this determination, they went back to Boston and prepared for their removal. Early in the spring they took their final leave of Massachusetts, and pursuing their tedious journeys though the wilderness, which could not have been exempt from many difficulties and discomforts, reached their new point of settlement, the northern end of the island called by the Indians, Pocasset, which name was retained by the settlers till changed to Portsmouth.	COGGESHALL, John (I100827)
8136	Mr. John Doane was the eldest of the seven first settlers, and undoubtedly next to rank to Gov. Prence. They were the only persons of that band whom the records of that period honor with the prefix of Mister, which in those days was only given to men of means, magistrates and ministers. At what time he arrived at Plymouth, it does not appear. Mr. Pratt, the Eastham historian, was certain he came over in one of the three first ships, his authority he does not state. This, however, is certain: he did not come over in the Mayflower, Fortune or Ann. His name appears as a freeman and tax payer at Plymouth in 1633, and that year is mentioned as being with Mr. Wm. Bradford, Capt. Miles Standish, Mr. John Howland, Mr. John Alden, Mr. Stephen Hopkins and Mr. Wm. Gilson, an assistant of Gov. Edward Winslow; but having been chosen deacon in the church at Plymouth, "at the request of the church and himself, was freed from the office of assistant in the Commonweale," January 2, 1633/4..... In 1639, he was again allowed "to draw wine" at Plymouth; and appointed, with three others, to assist the governor and council to revise the laws of the Colony, which was the first revision since the settlement of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. In 1640, "Mr. John Doane" was of the Grand Inquest, and a deputy for Plymouth in 1642/43. In November, 1644, he was licensed "to draw wine" at Plymouth, but in January 1644/45, the court agreed to allow James Cole, the keeper of the ordinary or tavern at Plymouth, to take the wine Mr. Doane had on hand. It was evident that Mr. Doane was closing up his business in Plymouth, in view of the removal to Nausett of himself and family. It will thus be seen by these transactions, that Mr. Doane did not go to Eastham to settle in 1643 or 1644, as many of our local historians have stated, but in 1645 (N.S.) as we have heretofore stated, upon authority of the colony records. Mr. Doane was appointed, march 3td, 1644-5, with others, to take the account of the colonial treasurer under consideration, in order for the annual settlement. In 1649, "Mr John Doane" and his son-in-law, Samuel Hicks, were deputies fro Nausett or Eastham to the Plymouth court. He was also elected in 1650, 1651, 1653 and 1659. In 1663, he was appointed by the Colony court to solemnize marriages, administer oaths to witnesses, etc., in Eastham. Mr. Doane held other offices in town and colony. Mr. Pratt, and other historical writers, say he was fourteen years selectman, but they are not sustained in their statement by the colony records. The office of selectman was created in 1663. The first notice in the Colony records of those chosen in Eastham was in 1666, next in 1668, and then in 1670. After this date they are noticed regularly for many years. Mr. Doane's name is not among them. Possibly he held the office, but it is cettain he did not hold it that period of time. In 1663, Mr. Doane was seventy-two years of age, and if their statements are correct, Mr. Doane was near eighty-four years of age when he retired from the board. Rev Mr. Pratt says, Mr. Doane "was forty-nine years old when he came here and lived sixty years afterwards, being one hundred and ten years old when he died, in 1707." Upon what authority he makes the statements we do not know, but it is clearly evident they are unreliable. Mr. Doane, May 18, 1678, declared his age to be "88 or thereabouts," which shows he was born about 1590. Consequently, in 1645, when he came to Eastham, he was not far from fifty-five years of age. Mr. Doane, it is certain, died in 1686, having lived here about forty-one years, and not sixty-four, as Mr. Pratt has it. If Mr. Doane's statement made in 1678 is reliable, at his death in 1686 he was about ninety-six years of age. Tradition, says Mr. Pratt, in 1844 has it, "that he was rocked in a cradle several of his last years."	DOANE, John (I19204)
8137	Mr. John Hallam, who was born in Barbadoes, West Indies, in the year 1662, came with his mother and younger brother, Nicholas Hallam, and his stepfather, Mr. John Liveen, of New London, Conn., in the year 1676, where he continued to reside, until he came to Stonington, soon after 1680, when and where he became acquainted with the family of Mr. Amos Richardson, one of the most prominent families in the town, whose daughter, Miss Prudence Richardson, he m. March 15, 1683. Mr. Hallam a once engaged in the mercantile business, which was the employment of his stepfather, in the West Indies, and at New London, after they had taken up their residence there. Mr. Hallam enlarged his business here and opened commercial relations with merchants at Barbardoes, which he very successfully prosecuted for several years. His mother, Mrs. Alice Hallam, when she m. John Liveen had an estate of about one thousand dollars, which she placed in her husband's hands, with the assurance from him that he would give the same, with its accumulations, to her two sons, the said John and Nicholas, after his death, which assurance he did not fulfill, but gave the same to the ministry of New London. This disposition of the property by Mr. Liveen was so at variance with his repeated promises, made to their mother before her marriage to him, and to her sons afterward, that they would receive their mother's property after his death, that they refused to abide by his will and appealed therefrom, which appeal after an extended controversy both here and in England, was disallowed, and the validity of Mr. Liveen's will was contested and finally confirmed by all the Courts having jurisdiction of the same. Mr. Hallam, in prosecuting his commercial relations with Barbadoes and the West Indies, acted as super-cargo of the vessels conveying his goods to these islands, and in person superintended the sale thereof, and exchange of the same for goods of the islands, which he brought home and sold to the merchants in this region round about. During the year 1700 Mr. Hallam purchased and fitted out one of his vessels with the products of neighboring farms and went with the same to the West Indies as super-cargo. Somewhere on his return he caught the smallpox, with which he d. Nov. 20, 1700. Mr. Hallam, after his marriage with Miss Prudence Richardson, purchased a large and valuable tract of land of her brother, the Rev. John Richardson, whose father, Mr. Amos Richardson, had given him as a wedding present, on his marriage. The protracted lawsuit concerning Mr. Liveen's will, was not concluded until after Mr. Hallam's death. His brother Mr. Nicholas Hallam continued the litigation to its close, incurring a large amount of additional expense, which he charged to his brother's estate, which claim was considered exorbitant, and payment thereof refused. He then instituted legal proceedings which resulted in a recovery by him of a moiety of the entire expense of the litigation, concerning said will, which was so heavy that it required the sale of a large part of said purchase to liquidate the same, as related before.

8143	Mr. Rix like most young men was brought up on a farm, and in the ordinary acceptance of that term was not liberally educated, though he supplemented by careful study and voluminous reading and research education which the common schools afforded. To a strongly practical training he added by his own exertions unusual literary culture, acquiring among his other accomplishments an almost irresistible fascination for studying the classics. he had a very retentive memory, and could quote pages of almost all the works of which he was familiar. In his early life he learned the trade of edge-tool making, and proved to be a skillful workman. He taught school nineteen winters, and while teaching in Barnston, Canada, in the winter of 1835, he moved his family there, and after his school closed, he removed to Compton in the same county, and went to work at his trade. The Canadian Rebellion breaking out in the winter of 1836-7, he returned to Littleton, N.H., and after the rebellion was crushed, he returned to Canada and located at king's Croft, in Barnston, and entered into business on his own account. His business here not proving so favorably as he had wished, he returned to the States and located in Rumney, N.H., where he built up a good business, but a financial panic coming on, he met with reverse of fortune, and removed to western Ne York, landing at Hartland, Niagara County, in June, 1844. In the fall of this year removed to Middleport, Oleans County, ten miles away, and in the fall of 1846, he removed to Jeddo, a little village in Orleans County, about five miles from Middleport. Here he did business on his own account till 1851, when he removed to Michigan, locating at Manchester. In 1864, while his son, Guy S., was in the hospital in Washington, with his eg amputated, his wife there taking care of him, Mr. Rix and wife returned to Jeddo especially to care for Guy's children, and remained until 1870, when they returned to Michigan and located in Dowagiac, where their son Thomas resided. Here they remained until death. he was lame from boyhood, caused by his hip being put out of joint, and never being set. My father had weaknesses (and who of us do not possess many), but I am proud to say that he was a kind-hearted man, an exceedingly generous one - a man who never turned the distressed and disconsolate from his door, but prompt to act in their behalf. Although not an open worshiper of the Great Architect of nature - in fact, to the uninitiated he was completely the reverse in some respects, for which I pardon him through extenuating circumstances - yet his heat beat with almost the tenderness my deae mother possessed, and however rough his expressions, by many misjudged I Know he inwardly worshiped the Great Artificer at nature's shrine, and I hope to meet them both in the happy hunting grounds of that undiscovered country from which no traveler returns.	RIX, Guy Carlton (I97162)
8144	Mr. Rix received what little education he has in the common schools, one term in a High School in Rumney, NH, and one winter in the common school in Middleport, NY, in the winter of 1845-46, which was the last of his schooling. At the age of sixteen he accompanied his parents to western New York and located in Hartland, Niagara County, and in the fall of that year (1844) he went with his parents to Middleport, about ten miles away, and in about one year they removed to Jeddo, Orleans County, a little hamlet about five miles from Middleport, just across the line of Orleans County on the "Ridge Road." Here he remained, working for his father in the shop, when his parents removed to Michigan in 1851, when he returned east to visit his grandparents, who were living in Haverhill, NH. Here he met the lady whom he afterwards made his wife, and in consequence concluded he would not return, and entered the employ of Jonathan S. Nichols at Haverhill Corner, in the department of blacksmithing. Her he remained till the spring of 1853, when he wen to Littleton, his native town, and entered the employ of Daniel C. Quimby, when he left there July 18, 1853, for Michigan, where his parents resided. Here he entered into partnership with Mr. Munroe Ingraham in the foundry and machine business. In May, 1854, he started east for his bride, and immediately after his marriage started on his return for Michigan. That same fall both he and his wife were taken down with fever and ague, and being dissatisfied with the country he disposed of his interest in the business and returned to Littleton and again entered into the employ of Mr. Quimby. In the spring of 1855 he removed to Concord, NH, and entered the employ of Lewis Downing & Sons, carriage manufacturers, where he remained till the war of 1861-65 broke out, when he removed to western New York and located at County Line, a village and post office of that name on the line between Niagara and Orleans Counties, and about two miles from Lake Ontario. Here he entered into business with his brother Joel in the business of carriage making and custom blacksmithing. Here he remained till July 21, 1862 when he enlisted in Co. A, 129th NY vol. Inft., Capt. Erastus M. Spaulding, Col. Peter A. Porte. He was mustered into the U.S. service at Lockport, Aug. 22, 1862, and the next day the regiment left for Baltimore, Md., where it did guard duty in and around Baltimore. December 19, 1862, the regiment was reorganized into the 8th New York Heavy Artillery. In Grant's campaign of 1864 the regiment was ordered to the front. Mr. Rix was appointed Armorer at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Md., Oct. 21, 1862; Brigade Armorer at same fort, may 17, 1863; and Artificer in May, 1864. He participated in the battles of North Anna river, Coal Harbor, June 3, 1864, front of Petersburg, June 16, 17, 19 and 22, at which battle he was wounded and taken to the rear. He was taken to Washington, DC and landed in mount Pleasant Hospital, where his right leg was amputated July 7, 1864. His wife went to Washington to care for him and was with him until early in November of that years, when they both went to their home, which had been established in the spring at the old stand of his father. In February, 1865, he returned to the hospital in Washington and was discharged March 21, 1865, and returned to Jeddo and commenced anew the carriage business. he continued the business until 1873, when in that year he made a visit east, and an opening presented itself which he took advantage of and returning to Jeddo sold out his plant and in November 1873, removed his family to Concord, N, and entered the employ of the Concord Carriage Co., as foreman in the blacksmithing department. In 1878 he went to St. Louis, Mo., as superintendent of a large carriage manufactory, and after a year moved his family there, but his wife being very much out of health and homesick he returned with them, but went back and stayed four years, when the firm abandoned the carriage business and went into manufacturing electric street cars, but Mr. Rix not understanding such work, nor caring for it, returned to Concord and re-entered the employ of the concord Carriage Co. Mr. Rix has been a strong temperance man all his life and is probably the oldest "Son of Temperance" in the state, if not in the United States, having been initiated in Jeddo Division, No. 27, by Philip S. White, of Philadelphia, in June, 1847. He was also made an Odd Fellow in Moosehillock Lodge, No. 25, in Haverhill, NH, in January, 1852. He is also a member of the G.A.R. Post, in Concord. he is a Justice of the Peace and Quorum. In 1898, Mr. Rix lost his health, so much so that he has been unable since to do any manual labor, and since has been doing genealogical work. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rix are members of the M.E. Church in Concord, where they reside.	RIX, Guy Scoby (I97163)
