They moved to Indiana about 1809, and lived near Vincennes, Indiana, until the War of 1812. Then moved to Wayne County in 1816 and remained for a time in the block-house at Williamsburg, the Indians being dangerous at that time. They spent the remainder of their lives in Green Township.

Thomas E. died 15 July 1851; Hannah died 19 October 1865, both buried in Willliamsburg Cemetery, Wayne County, Indiana.

A partial story of their descendants is found in “A Brief Genealogy of the Thomas Lamb Family” by Ruby Manning 1942.

J-6. Catherine Lamb

Catherine Lamb, daughter of Jacob Lamb (1) and Sarah Stone, was born 6 August 1774, (or 6 June 1774?) in Rowan (WAS: Randolph) County, North Carolina.

She was married 24 March 1790, recorded in Center Monthly Meeting, in Guilford County, North Carolina, second wife, to Exum (Axum) Elliott, who was born 10 April 1765, in Perquimans County, North Carolina, son of Jacob Elliott and Zilpha Davenport. (See Elliot Family, Part II)

Exum had been married/1 on 19 March 1788, to Sarah Pearson, born about 1772 in Perquimans County. Sarah died shortly later on 7 August 1788, Perquimans County, and was laid to rest in the Friends Burial Ground at Back Creek, Randolph County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of Jonathan Pearson and Sarah Bogue.

Exum Elliott and Catharine Lamb were married in the manner of Friends 3rd Month 24th, 1790 at Back Creek Preparative Meetinghouse, Randolph County, North Carolina. Catharine wore an exquisite leghorn straw bonnet with a greenish blue silk lining at her wedding. She had made this bonnet by her own hands, that is, braided and sewed the straw and shaped the bonnet. The bonnet is 18.5 inches in diameter. The crown is 1.5 inches high and 5.5 inches in diameter. The bonnet was worn with a broad ribbon over the crown and tied under the chin. Originally the under side of the brim was lined with aquamarine silk. The Lamb home (Randolph County, North Carolina) was near the famous Beard Hat Factory and it may be that Catharine learned the art there.

Exum wore a black beaver hat at their wedding. The crown is 5.5 inches high and 7.5 inches in diameter. The brim is 3.5 inches wide and at the front side has a strip of velvet to lift the hat by.

In the fall of 1815 the couple brought the bonnet and beaver hat to Wayne County, Indiana. Rebecca Elliott Maudlin was given the wedding hats of Exum & Catharine. After Rebecca's death, John Maudlin gave them to his granddaughter, Stella Maudlin, who later placed them in the Wayne County Historical Museum in Richmond, Indiana. It is presumed that Exum's beaver hat is also in the possession of the same museum.

The family went to Surrey County, North Carolina, in 1807. In 1815, Exum Elliott followed the migration of many southern Quakers, who had rejected Southern slavery, by moving with his family from the 'Old North State' (North Carolina) to Wayne County in the free Territory of Indiana. They joined the Whitewater Monthly Meeting.

Exum Elliott, was one of the pioneers whose physical strength cleared away the forests and established civilization in that then wilderness section of Eastern Indiana. They settled about 3 miles northwest of Centreville in Centre Township, near the future site of the West Grove Friends Meetinghouse. Exum Elliott was an Elder from 1818 until his death in 1841.

Exum died 8 October 1841, in Wayne County, and buried in West Grove Burial Ground, Northwest of Centerville, in Center Township.

On the Census of 1850, she was living with her son Mark. She died 26 (WAS: 25) February 1859, in West Grove, Wayne County, Indiana. Their graves have no markers, as the Quaker testimony of simplicity was carried into eternity.

    In October of 1873 , their son William Quincy ELLIOTT came to Reno County, Kansas and filed a homestead claim of 80 acres on the Arkansas River. The following year he brought his wife, thirteen children and mother out of Indiana to their new home in the frontier town of Peace, a place where buffalo stilled roamed on the plains of central Kansas. The family became charter members of Peace Monthly Meeting (Quaker) in that town which was later renamed Sterling. William Q. ELLIOTT prospered in Kansas, eventually building an estate of 3300 acres.

Biography of Andrew Nicholson
COMPENDIUM OF BIOGRAPHY Of Henry County, Indiana by B.F. Bowen 1920

Andrew Nicholson, a retired citizen of New Castle, Henry County, Indiana, was born in Guilford County, North Carolina, November 5, 1805, near the battlefield on which General Nathaniel Green, of Revolutionary fame, won one of his remarkable victories, and on which field, when a boy, Mr. Nicholson found many a rusty old bayonet and other grim relics of the sanguinary conflict.

The parents of Mr. Nicholson were John and Mary (Williams) Nicholson, the former of whom was born in North Carolina and the latter in Maryland.

When Andrew Nicholson was about twenty years of age the family came to the west and located in Ross County, Ohio, near Richmond. After several years' residence in Ross County, they moved to Iowa, where the mother died and the father then came to Henry Count, Indiana, where he died from the result of an accident when he was eighty-four years old.

The father served in the war of 1812 and Andrew still remembers his own small errands in going back and forth with messages from and to the regiment. The martial fervor seems to have pervaded the family, as Andrew himself long afterwards had two sons in the Civil War of 1861-65 and receiving news at one time that one of these (John) was sick in hospital, went there to bring the boy home and on the way back encountered a company of General John Morgan's men, but was not molested and reached home in safety with his boy. It was the custom, in the Civil war days, for Samuel Hoover, a good reader, to gather the neighbors together, mount a box and read the news as it came. When it was reported that a relation or friend had lost his life in battle, all would stand it without a murmur, but when it was announced that such relation had been sent to Libby prison, the blood of the hearers would boil.

In the early days, while living in Wayne County, Indiana, Mr. Nicholson worked in a brickyard at Richmond for seven dollars per month. A friend, Mark Reeves, who later became a merchant at Cincinnati, Ohio, had worked in the same yard, and some years afterward came from that city to New Castle to buy a span of carriage horses for family use. In a crowd Andrew twitted him with having once worked at seven dollars per month and created a great laugh.

Young Nicholson had educated himself at home with borrowed books and at twenty-one began teaching, a vocation he followed for fifteen or twenty years. One of his pupils was George W. Julian, afterwards a congressman of considerable note. Spelling was committed to memory at school and lexicographers differed in this respect, Walker, for instance, ending certain words lith "ick" and "our," while Webster ended the same words with "ic" and "or, as publick, public; rancor, rancour, and so on. At one of the spelling matches in Nicholson's school, Julian added the "k" to public, while a little girl left it off, and Julian went to the foot of the line, the Webster standard having been adopted. Julian was angered at this and quit school, but afterward was reconciled and returned.

The schools were on the subscription plan, at a tuition fee of one dollar and a half per quarter for each pupil, yet Mr. Nicholson saved money and purchased a farm of eighty acres, to which he devoted his time and attention in the summers.

In 1859 Mr. Nicholson came to Henry County, Indiana, and bought a farm of one hundred and eighty-four acres near Rich Square meeting house and cultivated it in part until his Sons went off to war, when he sold the farm and came to New Castle and bought an eighty-acre tract, on which he erected his present residence. He has retired from active work and has his money loaned out on interest. He has platted part of his eight acres into residence lots, and has occupied his present dwelling for thirty-one years.

At the age of twenty-five, Mr. Nicholson married Miss Sarah Ann Lamb for his first wife, to which marriage were born nine children, namely: Abner, a mechanic and farmer in Wayne county, Indiana; Julia Corwin, in Urich, Henry County, Missouri; Luther was a soldier in the Civil war and died at home when thirty years old; Cornelia was married to Francis Gentry and died in middle life: Eveline became Mrs. James Bradbury and died when about fifty years old; Charles died at forty, and John, the soldier-boy before spoken of, died at thirty-five.

The second marriage of Mr. Nicholson took place in 1870 to Miss Mary Boyd, of Brownsville. Union County, Indiana, but a native of Harrison County, Kentucky, and a daughter of James and Nancy (Ruby) Boyd who settled in Union County, Indiana, when Mrs. Nicholson was but a child. No children have been born to this second marriage.

In religion Mr. Nicholson was formerly of the United Brethren faith, but for the past thirty years has been a Presbyterian, his present wife being of the same faith. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but is now a Republican and for three years served as county commissioner in Wayne County.

At a recent public meeting Hon. Martin L. Bundy delivered a brief oral address, taking Andrew Nicholson and his long and useful life as his text, and in connection therewith reviewing the history of the United States as it was developed during the ninety-six years of Mr. Nicholson's remarkable career. The speech was good and well received.

FIFTH GENERATION




J-321. Hannah Galyean

Hannah Galyean, daughter of Hulda Lamb and William Galyean, was born in April 1820, in Wayne County Indiana.

She was married 3 February 1835, in Henry County, Indiana, to John Brewer, who was born 13 May 1815, in Knox County, Tennessee, son of William Brewer and Jane McKnight.

“William Brewer, oldest son and 2 of 8 children, came to Wayne County with his parents in 1816-18. In 1836, Hannah with their oldest son and their household goods on a horse, and John walking, moved to Fountain County, Indiana, near Covington, Indiana.

Returning in 1838 to Henry County he took over his fathers farm & Hannah's father's farm. On 1 March 1857, having disposed of one farm of 160 acres, taking his family, 75 cattle and horses, he moved to 20 miles N of St. Peters, MN, going NW by way of Urbana, Illinois, arriving in May. The trip was made with 7 yokes of oxen pulling a large boxed log wagon containing bedding, cooking utensils, etc, and it was not unusual for a morning's bill for stock feed, food and lodging for the family to amount to $50-$60.

The stock was herded on the hills near St. Peters, by Ruseau, George, and Calvin, until sold. A crop of corn was planted in MN but not harvested, but was sold that fall standing in the field, as well as all other possessions.

The family loaded into a train for their first ride, returning to Henry County, and their only possession, the remaining farm. In the fall of 1859, he and his eldest son Nelson, went to Pikes Peak, in an unsuccessful quest for gold, returning early in 1860. They had an opportunity to trade their team and equipment, which they owned jointly with two other men, for 20 acres, in the center of Denver County, but preferred an outright sale to a trade for what became later in Denver's development very valuable lots. Hannah died 25 June 1861, and was buried in the private cemetery bordering the farm on the north.

John was married/2 29 June 1862, at Salisbury, Illinois, to Isabella (Barr) Adkins, widow, who was born 31 March 1835, died 16 June 1916, and was buried in Toledo, Illinois.

In the fall of 1863, John sold his Henry County farm and moved to Charleston, Illinois, and in 1864 on the day of the Charleston riot, he moved to a farm purchased near Ashmore, Illinois, where he remained until 1874, when he moved to Clays Prairie, Edgar County, Indiana, North East of Paris. He lived there until 1881, when he moved to Cumberland County where he bought and lived on a farm North West of Toledo, until 1895, when he moved to Toledo where he died 2 August 1899, age 84, buried in Toledo.

John, always opposed to profanity and drinking, was converted in 1860. In 1896, he joined the Methodist Church at Toledo.

In April 1899, when a family reunion was held, he requested his minister to hold a service at his home, not especially for himself, as he felt that all was well with his soul, but because he wished to testify once again in that way his abiding faith and trust in Jesus as his only hope and Saviour. John was 5'7”, weighed between 170-200 pounds, farmer, a Republican, and a Mason.

J-6,612. Jane Benbow

Jane Benbow, daughter of Catherine Elliott and Aaron Benbow, was born 20 July 1840, in Grant Cpunty. Indiana.

She was married 21 June 1862 to William Modlin.

His parents:

Dillon Modlin, born 12 May 1813, in Randolph County, North Carolina, son of George Modlin and Sarah Peele, died 22 June 18997, in Grant County, Indiana.

Married 16 January 1834, in Henry County, to Elizabeth Draper, born 25 May 1817, Indiana, died 16 September 1865, Grant County, Indiana, the daughter of Jessie and Delph Draper.

The Modlin family was founded in this part of the country during the earliest days of the Statehood of Indiana. Willaim's Modlin's grandfather, George Modlin, emigrated from North Carolina to what was at the time the Territory of Indiana. Upon his arrival in Wayne County, Indiana, he found that he had taken up his abode in a full fledged state, for Indiana was made a State just eleven days prior to his arrival, this being in December, 1816. After living in Wayne County for a number of years the old pioneer located in Henry County, Indiana, and there he lived until his death.

George's son, Dillon Modlin, was reared in Henry County, and came to Grant County in 1837. He first located in Liberty Township and later lived in Center Township for a time. He finally moved to Franklin Township, and here he died in 1897.

William Modlin was born in Grant County and grew up on his father's farm. When he was of an age to support himself he began farming, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. With the exception of two years which he spent in Wisconsin, he lived all of his life in Grant County.

William was a quiet and unassuming man, but one who was highly respected and thoroughly liked by all the citizens of the community in which he lived. Politically he was a member of the Republican party, casting his first vote for that party when Lincoln was nominated for his first term, and continuing to stand by the party until his death, which occurred on the 8th of August, 1897.

J-6,631. William Stubbs Elliott

William Stubs Elliott, son of Reuben Elliott and Rebecca Moore, was born 18 January 1844, in Grant County, Indiana, born on the site of what later became the Mess Hall for the Soldiers' Home. William S. Elliott as a boy attended the public schools, as well as the schools conducted by the Society of Friends in that day. His ancestors for many generations were Quakers. He engaged in agricultural pursuits in his boyhood.

William said;
"The next month, August (1862), I took with me my friend and cousin, Oliver C. Elliott, and we went on horseback to my Grandfather (Isaac) Elliott's on the farm where I was born in Grant County, Indiana. The first of the next week after we were there, a company of volunteer soldiers for the Civil War came by and my Uncle Elish Elliott, two years older than me, wanted to go with the company, as there was in it several close friends and cousins of him and me. Uncle asked me to go along and as I had been weighing the matter in my mind for some time about going. It was the opinion of my Father that the war would put an end to slavery and I enthusiastically believed it also and felt it was my duty to help abolish this curse of the nation, so I volunteered with my uncle in the company that was in wagons on its way to camp on the Wabash River bottom across the river from the town of Wabash."

He served in the Civil War, joining Company 'C' of the 89th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers on August 8, 1862.

Biography: THE MAKING OF A TOWNSHIP, Fairmount Township, Grant Co. Indiana 1829 to 1917, by Edgar M. Baldwin, page 79

The term of service for which Mr. Elliott had volunteered was three years. The regiment was captured by the Confederates while guarding a railroad bridge at Munfordsville, Kentucky. In a short time he was paroled and sent home, under instructions not to take up arms against the Confederacy until properly exchanged. In six weeks, this exchange was arranged by the authorities, and Elliott again joined his command at Indianapolis.

After some time of hard drilling the command was ordered to Memphis, Tennessee. Here he did post duty while the Union Army was sent on to Vicksburg. In the weeks following he did much important service, being promoted for his fidelity and efficiency. With twelve men he was detailed to escort a dozen captured Confederate officers to Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, near Sandusky, Ohio. The prisoners were taken in a separate car set aside for the purpose. At Centralia, Illinois, and Bellefontaine, Ohio, the prisoners attracted numbers of Southern sympathizers, several offering pistols to the prisoners. As one of the guards on duty at Centralia Elliott, with gun and bayonet, pressed the crowd back from the car.

At another time, after the surrender of Vicksburg, July 10, 1863, he was detailed with others to guard iron safes containing $2,000,000 sent by the Government on the "City Of Madison" from Memphis to Vicksburg to pay off Union troops. He was promoted to Corporal on 1 January 1864.

In October, 1864, Elliott was with his command in Missouri, then under General Pleasanton, in pursuit of the Confederate General Price. Captain Jones had responded to a detail to guard a water tank twelve miles west of Sedalia. General Pleasanton reminded Captain Jones that it would be a dangerous undertaking, telling him that he and his entire command might be killed or captured.

"You may have all the men you require for this work," remarked General Pleasanton, "but they must be picked men. You now realize the dangerous character of the duty you are about to perform. Are you ready?" Captain Jones hesitated. "Why do you hesitate?" asked the General "I am not hesitating because of the hazardous character of the mission," replied Jones, I was simply wondering, General, if you would allow me to take my own company with me."

The General agreed to the suggestion. So Captain Jones, with Company C, made up principally of Fairmount Township and Grant County men, went to the water tank and held this important source of water supply until relieved.

After more than three years' service, mostly with the Sixteenth Army Corps, Mr. Elliott was mustered out on July 26, 1865, at Mobile, Alabama.

Returning home, he was married/1 in September 1865, to Ruth Wilson, who died 2 April 1867, daughter of Jesse E Wilson. She had an infant daughter, Mary Elizabeth Elliott, born 19 September 1866, who died 2 days later.

William was married/2 on 20 May 1868, at Fairmount Meeting House, Grant County, Indiana, to Alice Clara Radley, who was born 21 February 1835, in Chelmsford, England, daughter of Samuel Radley and Mary Bull.

Mr. Elliott has been uniformly successful in his various pursuits, and has retired with a competency ample to insure the comfort of himself and wife. He has been and is now useful in the church and enterprising in his work for educational and civic progress.

He has for several years devoted considerable time and attention to the welfare of White's Institute, located in Wabash Co., of which institution he is at present trustee. In all his activities he has been a conspicuous factor. As soldier, as farmer, as church man, as promoter of educational and civic welfare, Mr. Elliott is not only a many sided man, with a broad experience and a thorough understanding of public affairs, but he is a type of the useful citizen of whom there are entirely too few in the average American community.

All eleven children of Willam S. and Alice Elliott were born in the house which still stands at the junction of state roads 9 and 26 just west of Fairmount, Indiana. William owned the first steam powered drainage tile factory in the state of Indiana, and this factory stood just east of this house. (Northeast corner of the intersection and just east of the intersection.)

In 1891 Willaim S. Elliott and his family moved to Radley (also in Grant County), which was named for his wife's parents who owned quite a bit of land there. William donated land and built the meeting house for Linwood Preparatory Meeting, which was renamed Radley Meeting in 1909.

In 1912 William, his wife, and granddaughter, Mildred, moved back to Fairmount, where he lived until his death.

Alice died 12 June 1921; William died 19 July 1931, both in Fairmount, Indiana, buried in Park Cemetery.

He was married 25 June 1902, in Grant County, to Lucy Willcuts, daughter of Clarkson Willcuts. She was reared in Center and Franklin Townships and received her education in the public schools of Franklin Township. Lucy was a member of the Friends Church in Marion.

“George A. Modlin”, Source: Centennial History of Grant County Indiana 1812-1912. The Lewis Publishing Company, 1914.

“Mr. Modlin is not only a very successful farmer but he has also served his fellow citizens in office, to his honor and their satisfaction. Progressive and practical in his views, he has handled his farm with great success, and is considered one of the best farmers in this section of the county. His personal popularity is good evidence of the conscientious way in which he has carried out the duties of the various offices of which he has been an incumbent.

George A. Modlin, the eldest of his parents' children, spent his boyhood on his father's farm, first in Liberty Township and later in Franklin Township. He attended the public school, but ambitious for further education he went to Terre Haute, Indiana, where he attended the State Normal School. After leaving school he taught for a time in Grant County, Indiana, and then took a course in the Eastman Business College, at Poughkeepsie, New York. After his he taught school for one winter and then came his entrance into public life.

It was in the spring of 1890 that Mr. Modlin was appointed Deputy Clerk of Grant County and about a year and a half later he was made Deputy Auditor, serving under George A. Osborne. He served throughout the term of the latter and also through that of his successor, John Wilson, completing eight years in the office of Deputy Auditor. In the fall of 1898, he was himself elected Auditor and served until December 31, 1903, a period of four years and two months.

After he retired from public office he returned to the farm, and two years later he moved to the farm where he now resides. This farm, which is known as the Villa View Farm, is located at the intersection of the Marion, Roseberg and Range Line, and of the Range Line of the Tree Gravel Road, just on the boundary line between Sims and Franklin Townships. This place is ten miles southwest of Marion and two miles east of Swayzee, Indiana, and consists of two hundred and forty acres. Two hundred acres of this property lies in Franklin Township and forty acres in Sims Township. Mr. Modlin has two hundred and thirty-two acres under cultivation and eight acres is well drained woodland.

He has built a ten-roomed house on the property, which is a most attractive home with all the modern conveniences. Commodious barns and all the improvements of an up-to-date farm make the prosperity of Villa View Farm apparent. Mr. Modlin is a general farmer and also raises fine stock.

In politics Mr. Modlin is a member of the Republican party and he has been active in politics. In the fraternal world he is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, affiliating with Mississinewa Lodge, No. 96.

"Errol T. Elliott - The author writes out of rich experiences in 20th century Quakerism - particularly its midwestern development. He writes with a love for his "homeland" that provided the nurture for his far-ranging ministry among Friends. Born in Missouri, he moved as a young boy with his family by covered wagon to Kansas.

"Following his formal education at Haviland Friends Acadamy and Friends University in Kansas, Iliff School of Theology and University of Colorado, he served as Spiritual Life Secretary of Five Years Meeting (now Friends United Meeting) from 1930 to 1936. He was pastor of the First Friends Meeting of Indianapolis for two periods of ministry from 1936 to 1942 and 1957 to 1965.

"His service to worldwide Quakerism was given as Assistant Clerk of the Third World Conference of Friends in Oxford, England, in 1952, and as chairman of the Friends World Committee from 1952 to 1958.

"His concern for the improved training for Quaker leadership led him to become the first chairman for the Board of Advisors for the newly established Earlham School of Religion in Richmond, Indiana.

"His travels in the Friends ministry not only retraced the many American trails of Quaker migrations but also took him to Europe during World War I, in 1940, 1946, 1954 and 1957. He visited Friends in Kenya in 1953, in Cuba and Jamaica in 1955. An around the world trip in 1961 took him to Friends in Kenya, India, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan."
