I too am interested in STEWART of Miami County. My line goes back to Joseph, born ca. 1800 OH, Joseph and Elizabeth Clawson STEWART..b. ca. 1830, and Elijah STEWART b. 1859...Joseph and Elijah's nativity was Hyattsville, near Tipp City. They later moved to Shelby Co...in Oran area.

James is also a family name...so maybe there is some connection??

My great uncle, Carl R. Arnold prepared a family history of our branch of the Arnold family for a 1964 Arnold family reunion at Troy OH. In the family history material I have inherited, there are many different revisions of this family history. At one point, it appears that a page was lost, so the version that appears in Marjorie O. Regan's ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF JOHN CHAMBERS ARNOLD AND MARY ELIZABETH (SHEPHERD) ARNOLD is incomplete. I have compared the different versions and tried to select the final revision except is cases in which parts of earlier revisions were lost or in which there are errors. When I scanned the history, the e's on the old Arnold typewriter came out many times as o's. I hope I caught all of them but would appreciate it if people let me know if you find a scanning error that I missed. I will send this family history in two parts. I have it saved as a Word for Windows 95 document and would be glad to send it as an attachment in that form to anyone who would like a copy.

ANCESTRY AND FAMILY OF JOHN CHAMBERS ARNOLD
Presented by Carl R. Arnold at the Arnold Reunion
Troy, Ohio, July 26, 1964

Many Arnolds came from England to the U. S. back in the early colonial days of our country. Mary Bales has collected considerable Information about the Arnolds who migrated to America and also about some of their ancestors in England. I believe she has found that a William Arnold born in Leamington, England, in 1587 settled in Rhode Island in 1636. This was just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock., It is reported that all of the land now included in Providence, Rhode Island, a city as largo as Dayton, Ohio, at one time belonged to an Arnold family. This group of Arnolds which settled in those northern colonies is sometimes referred to as the "Northern" branch of the Arnolds who came to America and these were the group which included the Benedict Arnold line of ancestry. Our family ancestry branches off from this group before they left England.

Almost thirty years ago--in 1936--when Mrs. Arnold and I were in Europe, I traveled in a train compartment with a 67 year old man and his eight year old granddaughter for several hours from London to Edinburgh, Scotland. In conversation with him I told him two different times that I never saw anyone who looked so much like my father. I was greatly surprised later when he told me that his name was Arnold. I met his son and family that evening in Edinburgh, but, of course, we could not establish any family relationship. They were very high-type people.

About the year 1725, one Arnold--and it is quite probable three brothers and their families--came to this country and landed on the North Carolina coast near the South Carolina border. Various stories about their shipwreck have been passed down through the generations. The most plausible version seems to indicate that they missed their goal as to where they had expected to hit the coast. This could have been partly because of poor navigation, which was quite common, but also because a severe storm had carried their sailing vessels farther south than they intended and along an unknown coast. It is likely that they had expected to hit the Virginia coast.

Either because of the storm or in attempting to land on an unknown coast, or both, their boats were wrecked upon the rocks. They saved their livestock and apparently most of their provisions, but lost the ships. I found no records of any of their families being lost in this shipwreck.

Although first names are rather obscure, one of them was named either John or George. It is possible these were the names of two of the brothers who came over together. One of these--either John or George, most probably John--was our ancestor who would figure out to be my great-great-great-great-grandfather and the same for many of you folks here today. Some of you younger folks here would have to add one or two or three more "greats."

These folks experienced many hardships during their first years in the new world. One unfortunate experience that is recorded tells of their horses getting away into the forests and brush. They were unable to recapture them so the first year they had to dig the holes by hand to plant their corn.

This John Arnold had seven sons, some of whom probably came from England with the family in the sailing vessels. If there were any daughters, their names were not recorded. The sons were Butler; David, who later moved to Maryland; Benjamin, who went to Pennsylvania; John (the second), who stayed in North Carolina and who was our ancestor, being my great, great, great grandfather.

Of the other boys, William went to Pennsylvania; Frederick stayed in North Carolina; and one other whose name is not recorded also remained in North Carolina. I have listed these names nearly as possible in the order of their births--the oldest first.

This John Arnold (called John the second), my great, great, great grandfather, moved over into South Carolina, into what is now Newberry County, during the Revolutionary War. He had eight sons but no record is left of any daughters. These sons were George, Moses, William, John, Isaac, Jacob, James and the youngest whose name is lost. The five youngest sons all stayed in either North or South Carolina while the three oldest sons moved to Ohio,

George, the oldest, came to Warren Co., Ohio, in 1805; William, the third son, cam to Ohio in 1806; while Moses, the second son and our ancestor, came to Ohio in 1808. (Orrie told me that one of the brothers migrated to Kentucky and from there to Ohio and another brother--several greats grandfather--migrated to Virginia and came to Ohio from there. Mary Bales, could that have been John or Moses?)

The Arnolds were Quakers and they came to Ohio from the South as a part of the migration of several hundred Quaker families around the beginning of the last century. They encountered ridicule and at times some slavery and their refusal to keep slaves. Also, they had the pioneer spirit. There was no slavery north of the Ohio River, but the danger from Indians had been quite severe.

In the Ordinance of 1787 the Federal Government had set up the Northwest Territory as a definite territory of the U. S. This included all the area that is now Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Victories over the Indians in some sections north of the Ohio River, the establishment of Fort Greenville in 1794 by Mad Anthony Wayne, and then the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795 made this area seem relatively safe from the Indians. Also, Ohio was nearer to the Carolinas than other parts of the Northwest Territory and also closer to settlements in Pennsylvania and Virginia, which made it appear safer and more desirable. The first permanent settlement in Ohio was at Marietta in 1788 just 20 years before our ancestors came and Ohio was made a state in 1803, five years before Moses came. Many people in the area from Greenville south to the Ohio River can still trace their ancestry back to the Quakers. At one time a little later the Arnolds, Albrights, Jays, Townsends, and a few others planned to organize a Quaker meeting house south of Greenville but for some reason it was never done. Instead they nearly all became Methodists, Many Quakers, including our ancestors, settled first in Warren Co., Ohio, since it was considered to be safer from the Indians than places farther north, such as Darke County, As we know, the old Lebanon College was a Quaker school established in 1844. A few of the Quakers joined the "Shakers" and were commonly known as the "Shaking Quakers.'' My father attended the old Lebanon College, probably in the winter of 1880-81. He studied Latin, Greek, English History, Biblical History and the Bible. He was unable to attend for a full term since he could not go in the fall until the corn was all cut and shucked and he came home early when spring work started.

Moses Arnold, son of John Arnold the second and my great great grandfather, was born in North Carolina in 1763 and married Rachel Lynch. The Lynches wore also Quakers and of Welsh descent. They all came to Ohio in a wagon drawn by four horses, with their family in 1808 when Moses was 45 years of ago. From Newberry district, they went to Greenville and Ashville, North Carolina, and Tazewell, Virginia. Then the route was by the Cumberland Gap to Cincinnatii where they crossed the river on a ferry.

They had seven children--five sons and two daughters: Isaac, Aaron, William, Lydia, David, George and Mary.

Isaac was born in 1784 and moved from the Carolinas to Mississippi, where one of his daughters had gone after marriage. Luke and Martha Arnold, who always attended the Arnold reunions 50 years ago and whom some of you remember and who lived in Ansonia, Ohio, wore descendants of Isaac. Isaac visited Ohio in 1834, coming by way of the Cumberland Gap in a one-horse wagon. He considered moving to Ohio, but never did. He died in Mississippi in 1855 at the ago of 71 years.

Aaron was born in 1785 and died near Greenville in 1839 at 54 years of ago. Ho left three children: William, Rachael and Henry.

William, who was known as "Uncle Billy," was born in 1789, came to Ohio, and had 13 children--six by his first marriage and seven by his second wife. His first wife was Elizabeth Townsend and his second wife was Margaret Folkerth. He purchased 428 acres of land southeast of Greenville for $2.00 per acre. About the year 1827, he built the two-story brick house back off the road west of Jaysville, which was among the first brick houses in the county and is now a part of the Warner farm. He already had a log cabin near this site. One of his sons was Noah Arnold, who left many descendants and was well known to old-timers in the Jaysville area. William died in 1875 at the age of 86 years.

Lydia, the fourth child of Moses Arnold, married a Townsend.

David was the fifth child. I find no record of him.

Mary, the seventh child, married Allen Peareson. They had six daughters and two sons. Records show that their daughters married an Albright, a Martin, a Bender, an Eddington, and a Snyder.

George, the sixth child of Moses Arnold, was our ancestor and my great-grandfather. He was born March 1, 1800, and came to Ohio with his parents when he was 8 years old. He married Mary Dynes on Sept. 26, 1819. She was claimed to be ? Cherokee Indian. She also was born in 1800, on November 4.

Moses Arnold, the father of these seven, built the old "weaning cabin," a log hut on the State Road about 2 miles southeast of Greenville, in 1815. My grandfather, my father, my two oldest brothers, and many children of two generations were born in this cabin. He was described as a man 5 ft. 11 in. tall with a florid complexion, small eyes and a Roman nose. He was not too much of a scholar but could read and was an ardent reader of the Bible. Originally a Quaker, he became a Methodist in later life. He never married again after his first wife died in 1826 and the last 20 years of his life were spent living with his youngest son, George, my great grandfather, who lived on the old Arnold homestead between Greenville and Jaysville. He died there on April 1, 1860, at the age of 86 years.

George Arnold, Moses? youngest son and my great grandfather, had six daughters and one son.

Amelia, born April 7, 1821, married George Floyd

Lydia, born Doe. 13, 1822, married Henry Houk

John Chambers, born Aug. 20, 1826, (our grandfather), married Elizabeth Shepherd

Matilda, born Sept. 1, 1832

John Chambers Arnold, the third child and only son of George Arnold and his wife, Mary Dynes, was born in the old "weaning" cabin on August 20, 1826. He married Mary Elizabeth Shepherd on January 14, 1847. He was 20 and she lacked one month of being 17. She was born on February 10, 1830. They had 14 children in 24 years, five of whom died in infancy before the ago of 1? years. Mary Elizabeth., my grandmother, died July 11, 1888 at the age of 58 and grandfather remarried three times after she died. John Chambers, my grandfather, died June 25, 1906, less than two months before his funeral and the picture of the group, which is available here today, was taken that day.

It has been proven that I'm a seventh cousin etc. etc. of the Hasse- broek who in the mid 1800's came to the US and settled originally in the state of Illinois, Germany Valley.

I'm very much interested in the HASEBROOK/HASEBROEK/HASBROOK branch, several of which came to Ohio and specifically to Miami County. Theres a HASEBROOK line in Germany (odd spelling for a German name) which apparently links to the one in Miami Cty.

Did you come across any of them? Can you give me a push in the right direction? Thanks beforehand/JAN aka /JOHN

I would like to have accurate death information for my gggrandparents, Joseph KINDLE and Martha Jean HUNTER. Actually I'd love to have accurate birth dates for them too, but they were born in Pennsyvania - Joseph around 1802 and Martha around 1809.

Their 11 children were all born near Piqua, Miami County OH between about 1831 and 1852. I have a death date of 6 Aug.1858 for Martha (Hunter) KINDLE, which is unsubstantiated. I have used family sources, LDS records, and have relied heavily on the census. Their family is in the 1850 census, but neither of the parents appears in the 1860 census for Miami County. Further, in 1860, their youngest child, aged 8, is living with the household of their oldest child in Mercer County OH.

Are there death records I can access on-line (Macintosh computer) or books I can get through inter-library loan? Or other suggestions?

Date posted: Sunday, June 21, 1998

Looking for information on CROZIERs in Miami Co. Brillina Crozier, born possibly in Ireland, married Robert WILEY Dec 1840 in Miami Co. Robert was the son of William WILEY and grandson of Samuel WILEY of Miami Co. They had three children that I know of, my g-gfather William John WILEY, b. 1840 in Piqua; J. J. WILEY, b. 1843; and Robert WILEY, b. 1846. I believe that all of the WILEYs lived in Springcreek Twp.

According to the History of Miami County Ohio (1982), one John CROZIER taught school in Piqua in 1818. This is probably the same John CROZIER who arrived in Miami Co. in 1815 from Ireland via Pa. (MVGI index) I suspect he is Brillina's father, but only because he was in the right place at the right time. Does anyone have more information on CROZIERs in Miami County?

Apparently Robert WILEY died after his three sons were born, because the Miami Valley Genealogy Index shows Brillianna WILEY marrying Mathew B. WILLIAMS in 1852 in Shelby Co. The MVGI also shows a marriage of Mary J. CROZIER to Francis J. WILEY in Miami Co, but doesn't give a date. I don't know where either of these two fit into the picture, but I would guess they are related to my WILEYs.

Any further information on these families would be much appreciated.

I am trying to find the burial location of Archibald McDonald. He lived in or around the City of Troy. He was married to Nancy Culbertson and is belived to have died in the first half 1854. So far I have looked through the cemetery listiong that are on line. The fine folks at the Riverside Cemetery have checked their records and he is not located there. Does anyone have any other listings to the local cemetries around the City of Troy and could you look through your records for him or e-mail the addresses for the local cemeteries so I may write to them.

Thank you all in advance

I am searching for the parents of Deborah Furgason who was born 5/8/1805 in Frederick Co. VA. She was married 4/6/1824 to Nathaniel Haworth in Miami Co. OH. There was a James Furgason in Union Twp. Miami Co. in the 1820 census and a James Furgason in Newton Twp in the 1830 census. One of these could be the father of Deborah.

Any information on the Furgasons of Miami Co. will be greatly appreciated.
