| 13653 | His obituary in the Picton Sun: "Died in the township of Hallowell, about the 24th of May, 1844, the venerable Joseph Leavens, in the 92nd year of his age. He was amongst the early settlers of the Canadian forest, and emigrated from New York State, and probably was a native of Nine Partners District. He had long been a Preacher of the Religious Society of Friends, and though not possessed of more than one talent, yet it is believed that, as he occupied that to his Maker's glory, his reward will be as certain as though he received ten talents. He was a diligent reader in the sacred volume. He was much beloved both by his neighbours and friends, and it is desired that his gospel labours may be profitably remembered by them and his relatives." | LEAVENS, Joseph (I16409)

| 13670 | Hobby Family Author: Lee Summerford Date: 6 Aug 1999 Surnames: Hobby, Furney Classification: Query on Roots Web: Georgia: Worth Co. The Tokia Hobby Homeplace was the home of Tokia Furney Hobby and her husband, Jack Hobby. Jack was the son of Jesse Hobby who was a farmer and Civil War Veteran. Jesse Hobby lost sight in one eye during a 20 mile march under Stonewall Jackson in August 1862 followed by the Battle of Cedar Mountain. He was then wounded again at Fredericksburg in Decemeber 1862, but he stayed with his Company (Co. G, 14th GA -Yancey Independents) until the Surrender at Appomatox - he then returned to Worth County and farmed for 50 more years. Jesse Hobby was son of William Alexander "Alex" Hobby who was one of the 4 Hobby brothers to settle the Worth Tift Irwin County Areas. The other three were Marmaduke, Andrew and Jesse. Each of these brothers had large families and I think it is safe to say that all of the Hobby's and SW Georgia are related through these 4 brothers. One of Jack Hobby's sons, Ben Jack Hobby, was my maternal grandfater. The day before he moved into a retirement home I took him to visit his childhood home (the Tokia Hobby Homeplace) - it was a wonderful day. Anyone who is interested in my files on the Hobby's in Worth County please let me know. I use FTM but can convert to GEDCOM. It may take me a few days, but I will get something to you. | HOBBY, William Alexander (I9880)

Ref: The Newmarket Era Newspaper. . Died, Montgomery, at Barrie, on Friday the 31st October, John Montgomery, in the 96th year of his age. (1783). 1879 Nov 7 - Obituary Montgomery - At Barrie, on the 31 Oct. Mr. John Montgomery - at the advanced age of 96 years, 6 months. Decease was well known to most of the early settlers of York. We shall give an obituary note in our next issue: . 1879 Nov 21 - Biography-Obituary: continued from last week. It would be impossible to relate the sufferings endured during their stay in the Toronto Jail whose trail came to those 2 sainted political martyrs, poor Lount & Mathews' gallows were left standing in full gaze of their fellow Reformers & prison suffers. Chief Justice Robinson ask JM did he have anything to say before sentence of death should not be pronounced. JM stood up & replied," I consider that I did not get a fair or impartial trail. … the perjured evidence of W B Crew, Thorn, & Greenwood will haunt them in after years. They will never die a natural death…& all who have taken part in my sentence shall died & perished in hell's flames. John Montgomery will yet live & be living on Yonge St." JM was removed & placed in close confinement & heavily muscled. His wife & children visited daily; his eldest daughter, now Mrs. Stoddard, was the little messenger who faithful to the trust, conveyed to her father news of the outside world, as well as bearing word home to the prisoners' friends in the county. He was sentenced to be executed in 3 weeks time on the scaffold which Lount & Mathews were executed, being almost in the front of the window where John Montgomery was confined. On the evening previous to the presumed execution, the painful visit of his family he was allowed to kiss the dear partner of his life, a blessed woman she was & the dear little children. Prisoners who witnessed the scene shed tears of sorrow & sympathy. As theme drew near for separation, it was something never to be forgotten; & as a fact the late Sheriff Jarvis stood arms folded with the reprieve in his pocket: The sentence had been commuted to transportation for life in Tasmania! JM & other prisoners were confined at the Fort Henry in Kingston awaiting the transport ship. Two of 3 were chained together; they started in August 1838 a plan for escape. For 3 weeks they used an iron hoop to cut through 3 feet of stone wall. The debris was carried out in their pockets. Montgomery shared this money with Wilson Reid, Anderson & Joseph Snider & made their escape into a 3 hour hail storm! First they went up 8 steps into the room with 3 cannons placed to sweep passing vessels. The group let themselves down by a rope. Near the flagstaff John Montgomery fell off the wall into a rifle pit & fractured his left leg below the knee. The others carried him some distance - & he hopped on 1 leg for 7 miles with his maimed leg dangling by his side. They could not procure a boat sufficient to carry them all, so they split up to meet at Cape Viscount, on the American side of the St. Lawrence River. Montgomery's let now was swelling & they moved him to the river to bath his leg. They had various encounters on the way inc. with 3 farmers; they took a cowpath until they came to a boat, Montgomery made use of a paddy for a crutch. Not knowing where they were, an Indian told them they were on Wolf's Island, 20 miles long. The Indian cut another crutch for Montgomery. They then made for the American shore where Montgomery was carried to the nearest hotel for medical help. Since leaving the Fort, it was 3 days since their first meal there. He remained there 6 week in confinement. Montgomery made his way to Rochester; commenced as a grocer on Main St. & his family joined him. The Rochester Democrat made some feeling remarks concerning JM & the family in 1839. In 1841, the year of union of the 2 Provinces, amnesty was granted to Montgomery to return to Toronto. He built the Montgomery's Hotel. He applied to Parliament for redress & was granted $30,000. He lived to see great political grievances redressed: justice placed on Statue books, universal education, pure election laws by ballot, removal of the Clergy Reserve laws. He leaves a third wife, 6 children, 4 by the first, 1 by he second & 1 by the third. the family are somewhat scattered, but a worthy son lately appointed Assistant Medical superintendent of Kingston Asylum.

Warning, very graphic details follow. . 1854 Apr 22, Sat . ATTEMPT OF A MANIC TO MURDER A FAMILY A horrible tragedy was enacted at Rootstown, Ohio, on the 22nd ult. Notice of it has already been given in the city papers. A private letter from a witness of the scene, furnishes the following details: It seems that Mr. Horace L Ensign, of Rootstown, had risen on the morning of 22nd & without dressing, was in the act of putting a stick of wood in the kitchen stove, when he was felled by a blow on his head Mr E was standing at the time near door that opened into the woodshed. The door was ajar & the blow as given from some person in the shed. The correspondent says: Mr. Ensign saw no one, but placing his hands on each side of his head, he hastened through into his dining room, where his wife was; he exclaimed, "I am killed, someone has split my head open with an axe.' He then ran out to the door & cried murder. His wife seeing him bleeding & a gash on his head, just above & also back of the temple, shouted for help. Meantime the children were awakened & came running in; the eldest, a son of 16, on coming down stairs, opened the door leading to the woodshed, thinking his father was in there. On opening the door, the first object that he saw was a man with an uplifted axe, looking like a demon at him. He says: Caleb, what do you want of me? Caleb spring back & shut the door. . By this time a neighbor came across the street & went to the woodhouse, when the manic addressed him by name, Donald Deming. - that is my name, he replied & continued he, 'John Chittenden, what are you doing with that axe? "I thirst for blood & blood I will have, 'said he. Mr. Deming tried to cool him down & after a few minutes succeeded in getting the axe. However, before he could get it away, Chittenden wrenched it from him. . [Some of the children had been sent for help, even in their undress.] After loosing his hold upon the axe, Deming retreated to the dining room where Horace sat bleeding & his family around him frightened very much. Deming held the door from the dining room & hoped to keep him from that, but with the axe he shivered the door at once, when Mr. Deming exclaimed, 'run or your lives!' By this time, another neighbor got there & on seeing what was going on, ran home to get his rifle, thinking it best to shoot the madman. Upon word being given to run, they all left as they thought & Deming shut the outer door, but Lucinda, their eldest daughter, 15 years old, stopped save a little brother 2 & half years old, who had been awakened by the breaking in of the door & had jumped from his bed on the floor & stood screaming from fright. She caught him in time to get her fingers pinched as Deming shut the door. She saw the wretch leap through the door, through where the upper panel had been broken. She called to them to have them open the door, but by this time she received a blow from he head of the axe, which felled her with the little one still in her arms. Meanwhile Horace had presentment that some child still remained in the house, & had gone around to the back kitchen door & entered, passing into the dining room. There lay Lucinda weltering in her blood & as he supposed, dead. The outside door had been opened; Deming had opened it of the child when she called; Chittenden was in the act of splitting open Lucinda's head; Horace sprang across the dining room, seized the axe handle to avert the blow from J. Chitteneden, finding someone was behind him turned upon him, in the scuffle cut to the bone on the back of Horace's head. Upon that, Horace seized him by the throat & Deming by his leg & by a hard struggle they got him down, he still retaining the axe & Horace still choking him. By this time the woman had called the man back that had gone for his rifle. He came & with much difficulty wrenched the axe from him; (he only held it by one hand; they then got ropes & bound him. Horace was covered with blood & so was the floor. After he secured, a messenger was posted to Ravenna for medical aid. The word flow like lightning & a general rush ensued. Horace's head was trepanned. His brain lay exposed during his struggle with the man. The pulsation could be seen, but the membrane was not broken. The inside of the bone that was taken off was 1.5 long by quarter inch wide. Upon the outside the bone was more than 2 inches long, besides 2 small pieces that were not measured. He to all appearances will survive, but poor Lucinda is in a very critical situation. The bones were so driven into the brain, that the surgeon thought it best not to do much for her, but her friends insisted upon trying. After 5 hours they proceeded to dress her wound. After pressing the scalp each way, they extracted 6 pieces of bone, some an inch & over. Several of them were nearly buried in the brain. Dr. Pratt extracted them, raising up the scull wherever it was depressed. About 2 spoonfuls of the brain escaped. She still lies in a very critical situation, with but a small hope of recovery. This Chittenden belonged Randolph, the town south of this; has had fits from a child; & ugly tempered man naturally. Of late his friends have thought him deranged at times. The night previous to this attack, he had 3 keepers. He attempted to kill his brother. His wife was directed to go about half an mile to a neighbor's to stay. In her hurry, in leaping a fence, she sprained her ankle. Of course, she crawled on her hands & knees & by so doing, she probably escaped death, for he broke loose from his keepers, & in pursuing her he passed very near her twice, but the night was dark & she being on the ground, he did not see her. He left searching for her & went to a neighbor's, called for Mr. Mrs. Ward did not recognize his voice & replied to him that he had gone after John Chittenden. Well, said he with an oath, you shall go too. She then know his voice, watched the candle, & blew it out. Her 2 daughters were upstairs in bed. - She fled up the chamber stairs & held the door. He smashed in a window with a cudgel that he carried with him; he entered through the window, but could not find anyone. He took all the covers off the stove, threw fine about the room piled bed clothes & other things on the stove. He broke out 2 other windows, sash & all, made his exit through one of them. Mrs. Ward smiled the fire & with assistance of her daughters, extinguished it. All the houses in his neighborhood bear marks of his visit. He eluded his pursuers till after he was taken at Horace's. He bragged that the had sent his pursuers on the wrong track. He know, he said, where they would to to look for him, but retook another road. They wanted to kill him, as he said, but said he, I fixed them; I thirst for blood & blood I'll have. I don't think he cared whose. There was no reason for his attack upon Horace; they never had any difficulty inter lives. I can't describe the scene, if I try. - From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, April 6.
