Pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the citizens of Sugar-Gove Twp. was held at the school house in said village on the 17th ins. & organized by the appointment of J I Willson, chairman. The object of the meeting being stated we have received information from authentic sources that a citizen of Pennsylvania has recently been seized, ironed & removed from this state to New York State. It is alleged that the instigators of this outrage are persons residing in NY state who are governed more by a love of money than for the public good. Therefore, we entirely disapprove of all in the recent arrest of a man by the name of Hires, a citizen of Penn & taking him without authority of law beyond the limits of this state. We approve of the course pursued by the people of Crawford County in holding meetings where Hires resided. Signed, J I Willson, Chairman. Ref: Jamestown Journal, NY. . History of Sugar Grove Twp. Sugar Grove Twp. was organized in 1821. The soil in the valleys is principally a gravelly loam, & on the highlands chestnut. The surface was originally covered with a dense growth of forest. Another prominent pioneer of this town & country was Captain John I. Willson. He was born at Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., NY., on the 15th of August, 1781. His wife, Mary Elliott, whom he married in New York city in 1807, was born in that metropolis on the 29th of August, 1789. Captain Willson's ancestors were from Ireland; Mrs. Willson' parents were Scotch*. XRef Note1*: His mother, Catherine Kuhn's, surname is German. - PJ Ahlberg Note2: Sugar Grove is in Pennsylvania near the New York State border. Original named Charlotte, the hamlet of Pleasant Valley was again renamed in 1821 from part of Town of Clinton. Jamestown & Lake Chatauqua are 12.5 miles directly north of Sugar Grove. Inclined to a seafaring life, he engaged on board a vessel sailing from New York when he was about 18 years of age [1799]. Commencing as a cabin boy, he rose to the command of the Brig Franklin, sailing from NY to the Bermudas, of which he also became part owner. After the enactment of the embargo on commerce & navigation under Jefferson, he left the ocean, & with his young wife removed to Upper Canada, where his elder brother, David Willson, had preceded him, & where he cultivated a small farm, & taught school winters. In 1819 he removed with his family to Sugar Grove. About 1821 he there opened a public house (which he purchased of Robert Miles, & which still forms a part of the present hotel), & made it for many years the most popular resort for travelers in that section of the country. Having retained his fondness for navigation, in 1825 he bought an interest in the schooner Milan, of Buffalo, & took charge of her as master in the lake trade. When the steamer Chautauqua, on Chautauqua Lake, was built he took charge of her for one or two seasons. Then, having purchased an interest in the schooner Nucleus, on Lake Erie, he was made master. As this was before the era of steamboats on Lake Erie, the Nucleus participated largely in carrying passengers, & was fitted up specially for that business. In 1836 he disposed of his interest in the vessel, abandoned navigation, & returned to his family & home at Sugar Grove. He was a moral & an upright citizen, temperate in all his habits, & enjoyed the fullest confidence of the community. He had been educated in the Society of Friends, but was tolerant & friendly towards other societies. He read much & was a man of intelligence & culture. The children of Captain Willson were Catharine Elliott, married to Charles Doane, of Aurora, Ontario, & residing there; Martha Clinger, who died in 1869, unmarried; Mark Willson, & Eliza Willson, who resides at Winona, Minn., unmarried. John I. Willson died on February 16, 1859; his wife died on the 9th of June, 1854. Both are buried in the village cemetery at Sugar Grove. Hotels - The only hotels of any prominence in the village of Sugar Grove have been that of John I. Willson & his successors, & that of Samuel Hall - the last building having been destroyed by fire about 13 years ago [1874], though it had not been kept as a hotel for some time previous to that date. As stated in the sketch of Captain Willson, he purchased the hotel (of Robert Miles) about 1821, & retained the property until about the year 1857, when he sold out to James Patterson. The Post Office was a little to the west of Willson's Hotel. Ref: History of Warren Co., Penn., 1887. . History of Capt. John I Willson: [varies slightly from the above]: Capt. John I Willson was born August 15, 1781 in Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County, New York, d. February 16, 1859 in Sugar Grove, Warren County, Pennsylvania. Both John & Mary were buried in the Village of Sugar Grove Cemetery. Mary's brother James Elliott was the first person buried in that cemetery about 1820. * He first went to sea at age 15 with relatives on, on The Farmer & was later pressed into service by the British & served 3 years. Rising from cabin boy he rose to command the brig, The Franklin*, sailing from NY to the Bermudas of which he also became a part owner. The Brig Franklin was captured by Morocco in 1802 were 8 Americans were captured. No evidence that he was on board that ship then. After the enactment of embargo on commerce by President Jefferson [1807] he left the sea & moved to Sharon Ont. where his older brothers lived. He taught school & had a small farm. In 1818 he moved to Sugar Grove PA to a small farm he had purchased. In 1821 he opened a hotel there which was the most popular hotel in the region for many years. In 1825 he bought an interest in the schooner, The Milan in Buffalo as was her master. After the steamer, Chautauqua was built on Chautauqua Lake he was her captain for 2 seasons. He then bought an interest in the schooner, The Nucleus, on Lake Erie & he was master. In 1836 he disposed of the The Nucleus & returned home to Sugar Grove. He married Mary Ann Elliott, married 1807 in New York City, New York, U.S., b. August 29, 1789 in New York City, New York, U.S., (daughter of Mr. Elliot) d. June 19, 1854 in Sugar Grove, Warren County, Pennsylvania, U.S. Mary: burial: Sugar Grove Cemetery: Sugar Grove, Warren County, Pennsylvania, U.S. . Children: i.

Death of William Lawrence: . Whereas Captain William Lawrence, late of Cow's Neck in Flushing, one of the Justices of the Peace of the North Riding, died intestate, leaving a considerable Estate, & divers children, & Elizabeth his wife, & his eldest son, William by a former marriage, having made application for Letters of Administration, & having brought in an inventory, they were appointed March 25, 1680. Ref: Page 269. The Duke's Laws of 1665 mandated that an inventory was to be taken within 48 hours after appropriate official inquiry of the death had begun [into a person dying instate.} William Lawrence's inventories portray a sober man of considerable wealth. His personal wearing apparel was sturdy, useful, & appropriate for a man who at once was a Quaker, merchant, trader, magistrate, planter, & slaveholder. The 2 of William Lawrence's inventories taken at his death in 1680 - one for his warehouse in Manhattan & the other for his shop & dwelling in Flushing. Benefitting from Flushing's abundance & quasi-independence from the colonial government centered at New Amsterdam/New York, William Lawrence flourished in the New World. The value of his land, chattels, & effects at £4432:01:10 ½ was substantial for 1680. The personal clothing of William Lawrence listed in the inventory include one worsted & 1 haire camlet cloak, a broadcloth (textile made of carded wool in plain weave that is fulled after weaving) suit, a drugg et (a lighter woolen) suit, an old norwester, & a castor (beaver fur hat). Lawrence was likely among the richest men in the colony. His material wealth is comparable to that of Cornelis Steenwyck, one of New Netherland's principal merchants who also served as magistrate, burgomaster, & alderman. The Business of Agribusiness Lawrence was among the largest landowners in Flushing. The main dwelling house, along with orchards & meadows, were located at Tew's Neck, an extensive swath of land jutting into the Long Island Sound (today College Point, Queens). Other Flushing property included land at Whitestone & lots in the center of town where his retail shop probably stood. In addition to property in lower Manhattan, Lawrence owned acres in Newtown to the west, meadows across the Long Island Sound in Westchester & land at various places further east near Smithtown. Lawrence's expansive property include numerous shares of Salt Meadow, a grassy marsh prone to flooding by salt water. In colonial America salt meadow was an important resource for sustaining animal herds, especially cattle. Adriean van der Donck notes in A Description of New Netherland (1656) that cattle were suffering from disease due to the consumption of "sweet hay." The issue was not resolved until animals started consuming hay grown on salt wetlands. At his death, Lawrence had 173 Cattle & 72 swine & were probably shipped to provide provisions to West Indies plantations or at the Manhattan market. Barrels of pork & beef, along with hooks, sickles, scythes & pitchforks for wheat harvesting, are listed in his Manhattan warehouse.

| 10775 | Captain Jacob Milligan, Revolutionary War Hero of Charleston SC Jacob Milligan was born in 1730, perhaps in Ireland or Scotland, or South Carolina. We do not have any records of his early life, despite much effort to discover from whence he came. We do know that he was a person of influence and recognized by his peers. He fought against the British in the Battle of Sullivan's Island, (now Ft. Moultrie) June 28, 1776, at Charleston SC, and through his bravery and efforts the battle was turned against the British, thereby making this the first victory for the Colonists against the British at the start of the Revolution. (more info about the National Historical Site is here). He was also the first Harbor Master for Charleston Harbor, met with General George Washington as he visited Charleston, and also was in charge of the first census taken there in 1790. A deposition made by Capt Jacob Milligan, in which he states he was a native of New York City, and also was at New Bern NC 1772, where he joined the Freemasons. On the 28th of June 1776 a fleet of British ships under Sir Peter Parker attacked Ft. Sullivan (now Ft. Moultrie) in Charleston harbor. Being unfamiliar with the waters, three of them ran aground. Two were able to get free but the frigate Actaeon was hard aground the next morning. There was a fleet of small boats called gallies operated by the Americans that were suitable for use in shallow coastal waters. Now from Dr. Joseph Johnson's Traditions and Reminiscences, Charleston 1851, pp. 114-116, the gallies proved to be very useful in guarding the coast and inland trade, at that time constantly going on. One of them was that commanded by Jacob Milligan, a very brave, active man who kept a watchful eye over the movements of the enemy. During the interval between the arrival of Sir Peter Parker's fleet and their attack on Ft. Moultrie, an active partisan warfare was kept up by the flotilla commanded by Whipple, Tufts, Milligan and others. Some firing from then took place almost every day. On the morning after the battle of Ft. Moultrie the gallies, or rather their boats, under the command of Milligan, aided by volunteers, among whom were Captain William Hall and Captain George Warren Cross, boarded the Acteon frigate, while she lay grounded on the shoal where Ft. Sumter now stands. The crew of the frigate seeing the movement, set fire to her and escaped in their boats. Our flotilla took the flag and the bell and other movables. Milligan then turned the guns of the frigate against the other British vessels, fired on them, and left the guns loaded and pointed so as to be discharged against them when the fire approaching would ignite the powder. And again we have from THE HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA by Edward McGrady: McMillan Co. NY, pp 159-160....."When the morning of the 29th of June broke upon the scene the Acteon lay fast ashore. The garrison at Fort Moultrie fired a few shots at the Acteon, which were promptly and gallantly returned from her by Captain Atkins, when to prevent her from falling into the hands of the Americans, he set fire to her, taking off her crew in small boats, leaving her colors flying and her guns loaded. But this did not prevent a party under Lieutenant Jacob Milligan of the Carolina ship of War Prosper from boarding her while on fire. This party pointed and fired three of her guns at the British commodore, and stripping her of what the pressing moments permitted brought off her colors, ship's bell, and as much of her sails and stores as his boats could contain. Milligan had scarcely done this when the Actaeon blew up with an awful explosion" NOTE: Jacob Milligan was made Captain as a result of the Acteon engagement and was referred to as Captain in several other history books of which there are seven that refer to this action. Capt Jacob was also a member of the reception committee of 13 members who met George Washington when he visited Charleston about April 27, 1781. | MILLIGAN, Captain RS Jacob (I8583)

| 10785 | Carl farmed in South Dresden Twp from 1902 to 1937, with the exception of the years 1907 to 1910, when they lived in Minneaapolis. He was a jeweller there. Carl was a man of many talents. He worked as a carpenter in his time off from his farming and several of his well built barns may be still standing in the Dresden community. Carl and his son Bruce, also had a blacksmith shop on their farm, repairing many of the neighbours implements and machinery. He also erected many of the windmills in the community. His most unique talent was making violins, and he was able to sell them as quickly as he had finished them. Carl died in a street fire in Los Angeles, caused by a gasoline truck esplosion. He was trying to rescue two people from a burning car, and he died in his efforts to save these 2 people. | WILLIAMSON, Carl Ray (I1090)
