| 25764 | William is the son of Mary Mullett & Samuel Gookins. William Gookins married 6 Nov 1787 in Litchfield, Conn. to Rhoda Munger. My Grandfather, Samuel Gookins, married Mary Mullet. Their children were Samuel, William, (my father,) Mary & John M. I presume they then lived in Massachusetts, where the children were born; but at the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, the family was in Bennington county, Vermont. A family incident is related as having then occurred, showing the devotion of the patriots of that day, & is only one of the thousands, similar ones, in the unwritten history of that period. When the news of the battle of Lexington sounded through the mountain valleys of Vermont, my grandfather called a family council & said "Some one must go to war." They were in a new & rough country. It was determined that the oldest boy, but then 16, could better be spared than the father, so Sam was fixed up with a knapsack & the old family piece & started on foot alone to find the army. He enlisted during the war & served nearly eight, years & was home only once during the time. He died in Switzerland county, Indiana, in 1842, being 85 years old, an honest man, a patriot & Christian. My grandfather & grandmother lived to old age, devoted & exemplary Christians. The children of my parents were Nancy, Charlotte, Olive, William, Elisha Flag, Seymour, Milo, Rhoda, Daniel & Samuel Barnes, & one, I think died at its birth. In the fall of 1808, my father & William & Elisha shouldered their knapsacks, as pedestrian travel was then more common than any other mode, & went to Jefferson county, New York. This was considered an undertaking equal to going to Europe now & more time was spent in making the necessary preparations.

| 25770 | William is the son of Phillip J Schaus. Both parents were born in Germany. 1894 Apr 6, Jackson Citizen Patriot Bainbridge boys are brought up with a knowledge of how to use the axe as well as the pen. Sometimes they make a miscue both in spelling and splitting. William Schaus' 10 year old boy had one of his hands badly cut while tackling a rather tough old stick one day this week. 1921 May 8 Oldest AlfalfaField in State Owned by Kazooan Andrew Schu has field from which 3 or 4 crops have been taken each year for half Century. to Andrew Schu, who lives about 6 miles north of Kalamazoo, belongs the distinction of owning the oldest alfalfa field in Kalamazoo county & one of the oldest fields in the set. Mr Schau's grandfather, P J Schau*, emigrated to america from Germany in the early '60s brining a large family with him, settling on the old Schu homestead on the River road in East Cooper. In the spring of 870 he sent back to Germany for a small quantity of what what then called Lucerne seed, now known to us as alfalfa. He sowed the seed on a rich place of land, which contained plenty of lime. This field of alfalfa's been mowed for 2 to 4 times every year for 51 years, excepting twice, when it was broken up for re seeding. Mr. Schau's grandson, Andrew, believes this to have been the first field of alfalfa planted in this country and one of the first in the state. The field is now plowed up again for reseeding and on account of the number and strength of alfalfa roots, the work is proceeding with considerable difficulty. Ref: Kalamazoo Gazette, Michigan. Note1: Philip J Schaus is the father of William M Schaus. Note2: Alfalfa - Cut 3 times a year, lucerne produces a protein-rich 14t DM per hectare without nitrogen fertiliser and on dry land. a, or Lucerne, a plant of the pea family grown primarily for forage, especially as hay. It is one of the most useful and widely grown hay crops in the world. Because of its high protein content, alfalfa is used as a food for almost all farm animals as hay, as silage. Because of its nitrogen-fixing properties, it is used in crop rotation to improve soil for other crops. When planted in combination with grasses, it helps prevent soil erosion. Alfalfa is also grown commercially for seed in arid or semiarid regions. Dehydrated alfalfa is ground into meal and used in feeding poultry and livestock. Indirectly, alfalfa is a source of honey, because bees gather substantial quantities of nectar from alfalfa flowers. Ref: How Stuff Works Science. - - | SCHAUS, William M (I1449)

| 25774 | William is the son of Sally Crawford & Robert Crawford. William Crawford’s older brother, Hiram Crawford, had originally settled in Beamsville where he married Nancy Comfort, 25 Jul 1820. Both had originally come from Orange County, New York. Sometime after 1825 Henry & Nancy Comfort Crawford moved to London Ontario and purchased land in Westminster. In 1836 William Crawford settled in Goderich and married Margaret Willson. 29 Jan 1861 Agricultural Census, Scarboro Twp.

Enumerator could get no account of what the number of the acres were under cultivation account on this and Mr. Abrams neighborouring farm. Appeared away twice. Note1: Could William Crawford & Mr. Abrams been one of the persons whose “Crops last summer was much in grieved by a severe hailstones literally those having oats before they were reaped. Signed, Robt. James Jr., Enumerator.” ? Personal Census 1861, Scarborough, York Co., Ontario, William Caldwell & family. William lived at lot 30, Con 3, "Not know' residence if out of limits" [of Scarboro]. Note: This implies William Crawford was off doing something else, some where outside of Scarborough. This is confirmed again in the separate Agricultural Census, when the Enumerator Robert James was unable TWO MORE times to get information from Wm. Crawford and his adjoining neighbor, Mr. Abram (perhaps working /travelling together?) This also indicates that it was likely Margaret Crawford to supplies the responses to the enumerator. - - - | CRAWFORD, William Caldwell (I341)

| 25783 | William John was the son of John Moreland and Lucretia Dusenbury. William John Moreland had been married to Alice May Goodmurphy who died in July 1880. She was the daughter of William Davis Goodmurphy and Catherine Reynolds. William John was living in Chatham Township, Bothwell County in 1875, which is between Chatham and Wallaceburg, Ontario. William had an Uncle Samuel who had a farm there. We are presuming that Wm John and Alice May moved to that area after marrying in Nov 1875. Sometime later they must have moved back to Prince Edward County, as Alice May died in Sophiasburg. Her cause of death is bilious vomiting followed by exhauston for 10 days. and she was buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Picton, Ontario. William John and his brother Roy went to Grand Forks County, North Dakota in 1881, according to the 1900 Census which says he was in the USA for 19 years as of 1900. Emma (or Amy) went out to North Dakota to marry William John Moreland who was in need of a respectable bride. They were married sometime after 1889. The 1900 Census has them in North Dakota, but they are back in Prince Edward County after the birth of their son, Cecil B. in March 1902. Family sources say they came back six weeks after Cecil was born in Inkster. Jean (Moreland) Chase tells the story that has been passed down in her family, that her grandmother Amy did not like life on the frontier and insisted they come back to Prince Edward County. Davidson and Edith and Cecil were born in Strabane Township, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, USA. Leila was born in Hillier Twp, Prince Edward County. Apparently their son, Davidson died at the age of 19 of TB. There also was a daughter by the name of Beatrice who died in infancy. Again I do not know the date of birth or death. Wm John and Amy, and son Davidson, are buried in the Pierson Cemtery in Hillier Twp., in Prince Edward County. | MORELAND, William JOHN (I1291)
