| 25804 | William W. Hatcher Sr: < BIO:HE WAS EXECUTOR FOR HIS FATHER'S ESTATE. MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES IN MISCELLANOUS ESTATE RECORDS OF Crawford County GA.. NO FURTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE AFTER 1880 CENSUS. THERE IS A CEMETERY LOCATED ON WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE ROWELL PLACE OFF OAK GROVE CHURCH ROAD IN THE NORTH WEST SECTION OF CRAWFORD COUNTY. SEVEN GRAVES ARE MARKED BUT NO LAST NAMES; DANIAL, MATTIE (WATTIE?), SUSIE, FATHER & E. R., MOTHER AND P.R., EMILY F. WIFE OF W.C. SMITH. FATHER & E. R. SHOULD BE EDWARD ROWELL, MOTHER & P.R. IS PROBABLY EDWARD'S WIFE PENELOPE SANDERS ROWELL SINCE THEY ARE BURIED SIDE BY SIDE.THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF OTHER GRAVES. ONE OTHER GRAVE IS MARKED WITH SMALL STONE WITH INITIALS A. W. (ADDENDUM) WHEN I FIRST VIEWED THIS CEMETERY IN ITS SAD STATE, MY REASONING FOLLOWED THAT OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAD AUDITED IT SOME YEARS EARLIER. LIKE THAT INDIVIDUAL, I THOUGHT THE STONES IDENTIFYING FATHER AND MOTHER AND E.R. AND P.R. WERE SEPARATE GRAVES. AFTER CLEARING AND CLEANING THIS CEMETERY RECENTLY (SEPTEMBER 20/21 1996), I AM CONVIENCED THAT THESE STONES ARE THE HEAD AND FOOT STONES OF THE SAME GRAVES OF EDWARD AND PENELOPE SANDERS ROWELL. ALSO, WE WERE ABLE TO RETRIEVE A BROKEN PIECE OF OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FOOT STONE WITH THE INITIALS A. W. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE GRAVE OF ALBERT HARRISON WELLONS WHO DIED IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. IN THE 1832 Georgia LAND LOTTERY, HE HAD A FORTUNATE DRAW AND DREW LAND LOT 185 IN THE 10TH DISTRICT, SECOND SECTION, OF THEN CHEROKEE COUNTY; NOW GILMER COUNTY. FOR THE SUM OF $18, HE COULD REGISTER HIS CLAIM WITH THE STATE AND RECIEVE A WARRANT WHICH WOULD GIVE HIM TITLE THE PROPERTY. HE WAS NOT REQUIRED TO LIVE ON OR TILL THE PROPERTY. HE COULD DO WITH IT AS HE PLEASED. I DO NOT KNOW THE DISPENSATION OF THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. IN HIS FATHER'S WILL HE WAS TO RECIEVE 'ALL OF MY LAND LYING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BIG CREEK'. HE SURRENDERED THIS PROPERTY TO HIS BROTHER EDWARD IN 1871 AFTER THEIR MOTHER DIED. ON OCT 1, 1849, HE PURCHASED FROM JOHN BENTLEY 108 ACRES OF THE EASTERN HALF OF LAND LOT 45 IN THE SECOND DISTRICT OF CRAWFORD COUNTY FOR THE PRINCELY SUM OF $220. ON THE 6TH OF JANUARY 1874, SHERIFF A. J. PRESTON SOLD AT PUBLIC OUTCRY TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER THE SOUTH EASTERN CORNER OF LAND LOT 45 IN THE SECOND DISTRICT BY VIRTURE OF AN EXECUTION ISSUED BY THE JUSTICE COURT OF SAID COUNTY IN FAVOR OF E. BOND & CO. J. G. COLBERT WAS THE HIGHEST BIDDER AND PAID $21 FOR THE PROPERTY ON OCTOBER 8TH, 1882, JAMES W., T. E., AND E. L. ROWELL SOLD THEIR INTEREST IN THE REMAINING FIFTY ACRES TO THEIR SISTER, SARAH E. WHITTINGTON, FOR THE SUM OF $10. SINCE I HAVE NO OTHER INFORMATION ON DANIEL AFTER 1880 WHEN HE WAS LISTED AS BEING 72 YEARS OLD, I THINK IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ASSUME THAT HE DIED IN 1882. HE PROVIDED FOUR SONS FOR WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, ONLY TWO OF WHOM WOULD RETURN HOME; AND BOTH OF THEM SEVERLY CRIPPLED FOR LIFE. | ROWELL, Daniel C (I12379)

| 25812 | William was “man of more than ordinary intellect” with “an excellent English education.” . By 1794 he had joined the Creek Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends in the Nine Partners Grant, New York. By 1798 he had moved to New York City, perhaps with the rest of the Willson clan involved in the schooner The Farmer . He was in financial difficulties at the time, and the Flushing, NYC, Monthly Meeting investigated a complaint that husband Wm Reid “left the [Creek] meeting without satisfying his creditors.” A subsequent minute stated “he was in insolvent circumstances but appeared disposed to do all in his power towards satisfying his creditors.” During the period in New York, Mary became a Quaker. Their financial position improved enough in New York that they were able to settle their debts and save enough money to purchase land in Ontario. . 1812, William Reid became involved in a dispute between David Willson, his cousin by marriage, and Isaac Wiggins, the Elder who would not allow Willson to minister in the Yonge Street Monthly Meeting. Reid sided with Willson, and was disowned for having “denied the Divinity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by declaring his belief that he was no more than the apostle Paul or any other inspired man.” Reid was the only member of the Children of Peace who was disowned for doctrinal reasons (even David Willson was disowned for having established an unsanctioned meeting for worship, not for theological reasons). The Children of Peace thus appealed only Reid’s disownment from the Quakers, using him as a test case of their position. The case was appealed first to the Canada Half Year’s Meeting, and failing there, in the NY Yearly Meeting in 1815. Reid, Willson and Rachel Lundy travelled to New York for the appeal, and then on to Philadelphia to drum up support. The Yearly Meeting refused to allow Willson to speak, however, and the appeal was lost. On his return to Upper Canada, Reid became a teacher in the Children of Peace’s school on Yonge Street. His obituary notes that “for some years he seemed wholly abstracted from the world, his mind peaceful and quiet like one in daily communion with his God.” William then became a prominent figure in local Reform politics; there were few political meetings in the area where he was not the secretary. His passion for justice led him to take part in the Rebellion of 1837; he is said to have been the oldest participant at age 72. William was elected as Chairman of the Township Council in 1842, and was elected again in 1845, and 1846. He is recorded as a Justice of the Peace for East Gwillimbury in 1846. At the time of the 1851 census, William was living with his son William Jr., and his occupation was listed as harness maker. He retained his faculties to the end, and served as a clerk in his son’s store until several weeks before his death at age 90. He died 25 May 1855.

| 25819 | William, born November 6, 1793; killed at the battle of Windsor, Canada, December 4, 1838; was associated with his brothers in business, all being prosperous farmers and lumbermen. He was captain of a Canadian troop and served at Lundy's Lane and Queenstown Heights. Later he joined in the "patriot" rebellion and led the attack on Windsor, which was made against his advice. He was instantly killed, shot through the brain. He married Eleanor, daughter of Sylvanus Dygert, a niece of General Nicholas Herkimer, and nearly related to the Van Rensselaers. Sylvanus was taken prisoner by the Indians in the same raid. His father was killed and scalped. He was held a prisoner at Montreal for three years.

Eleanor Dygart, and they had seven children; d. 4 Dec. 1838 in Windsor, Upper Canada. About 1795 Seth Putnam, who had sided with the rebels in the American revolution, settled in Upper Canada, just east of present-day London. His wife and eldest son, William, followed him in 1797. In several ways young William proved to be a loyal, successful colonist, fighting in the War of 1812, building a saw- and grist-mill, and later establishing a distillery and running a tavern. He acquired substantial properties, some of which he farmed. In fact, he was a pillar of his community: he held township office, twice acted as foreman of the London District’s grand jury, rose to the rank of captain and was appointed adjutant in the local militia, and became grand master of a masonic lodge. Despite his successes, William harboured grievances against the government. He felt that his father had never been adequately paid for extensive road work he had undertaken and that he himself had been given less land than he deserved for his war services. He must also have been upset by the government’s refusal to sell him a lot he had mistakenly occupied, on which he had cleared 25 acres. Perhaps such grievances helped incline him to the reform side of politics. Certainly, he was there by 1837 when the agitation preceding the rebellion was at its height. That fall the reformers of Dorchester Township named him a delegate to the grand provincial convention planned by William Lyon Mackenzie*. In early December he chaired a meeting in Delaware Township to establish a political union. On 8 December, after the outbreak of the rebellion, he attended a gathering in London where reformers discussed what their reaction to it should be. Essentially, they decided to do nothing. On the 16th, when all knew that the rebellion had been crushed, he and others met in Delaware and decided to importune the local Indians not to take up arms against the reformers. Soon, Putnam was arrested for his activities and taken to London. The magistrates there heard incriminating, but only circumstantial, evidence against him, including his own foolish denial that he had attended the London meeting of 8 December. They refused his request for bail. The grand jury later indicted him on a charge of treason for his participation in an alleged conspiracy hatched at London. He was released on 2 May. Unfortunately, he could not return to his farm; while he was in jail, its buildings had been burnt to the ground, reputedly by “a political incendiary.” A personal friend, Mahlon Burwell, apparently warned Putnam he was to be rearrested. He fled to Detroit where he joined the Patriots, Upper Canadian refugees and their American allies who were bent on “revolutionizing” the Canadas. In late June he was back in the province. The details of what ensued are uncertain, but, clearly, he shot and killed a Captain William Kerry (Cary), who was apparently trying to arrest him, in Dawn Township, close to the St Clair frontier. He fled again to Detroit, where his family joined him in exile. By the end of November Putnam, now a “general” with the Patriots, was helping plan an invasion of Upper Canada. Having mustered fewer than 200 men, the leader of the proposed expedition, General L. V. Bierce, wished to abort it, but Putnam insisted that it proceed. On the early morning of 4 December he and others led a small force across the Detroit River to Windsor. The Patriots set fire to the local militia barracks, killing some militiamen and capturing others. Then they burnt the steamer Thames and killed and mutilated surgeon John James Hume. The Patriot leaders divided their men into two main groups and, as militiamen under Colonel John Prince* rushed in from Sandwich (Windsor), Putnam placed his force in an orchard. His men, under heavy fire, soon broke and ran. Putnam, who had vainly tried to stem their flight, fled in turn, only to be shot down. The raid, and Putnam’s life, was at an end Putnam paid a heavy price for his part in the troubles of 1837-38. Many who knew him well regretted his fate. For example, John Talbot*, former editor of the St Thomas Liberal, who had fled the province in December 1837 to escape arrest, deplored Putnam’s part in the Windsor raid, but wrote, “I am sorry for poor Putnam - he was honest and sincere.” On balance, Putnam deserved pity. He had not plotted rebellion in December 1837 but had been jailed nevertheless. This and other persecutions, real or imagined, drove him to his doom at Windsor. | PUTNAM, William (I1519)
