He had in months past frequently expressed himself so tired o 3 CONC f life as to desire to die. He wrote a letter with a pencil, dated 7th o 3 CONC f June, which covered one large page, describing how he felt about the c 3 CONC ourse of Johon in perverting and transcending their agreement as to Joh 3 CONC on's taking fallen timber from his premises. The other side of that sam 3 CONC e sheet was partly covered with a writing dated June 8, which was suppl 3 CONC emental to the writing of the 7th, and declared his weariness of life a 3 CONC nd preference for death. Upon another slip of writing dated June 9, he r 3 CONC equested R. P. Jones and John P.

She was born in Tioga County, N.Y. in t 3 CONC he year 1810, and during the period of numerous Indian massacres which p 3 CONC revailed previous to the War of 1812. This County was at that time a c 3 CONC entral rendezvous of the belligerant tribes and very sparsely settled b 3 CONC y whites. Her father and a few friends had emigrated from Vermont and b 3 CONC rought with them the creed "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." Th 3 CONC ey were particular to observe this last clause of this motto as it was t 3 CONC he prime necessity of the little colony of white settlers. After the t 3 CONC reaty of peace which followed the War her father emigrated West and set 3 CONC tled in Auron [sic, Huron] County, Ohio in 1814. At this time northern O 3 CONC hio was an unbroken wilderness and there was but little to encourage se 3 CONC ttlement and emigration was slow and White neighborhoods few and far be 3 CONC tween. But her father built his hope and had faith that the great chai 3 CONC n of lakes would build up a trade that would result in founding an Empi 3 CONC re in the West. In the year 1825 the Erie Canal, which had been in con 3 CONC struction for eight years, was completed. Fresh hopes were born, and t 3 CONC hose of the colony who had made improvements on their farm were amply r 3 CONC ewarded and the country received a large immigration from the New Engla 3 CONC nd states. At this time Carthiette Cole was 15 years of age and had be 3 CONC en reared within the daily sound of the Indian war whoop and the nightl 3 CONC y brawls of wolves. Although schools were nearly unknown outside the v 3 CONC illages she acquired a good education and in the prime of life was well p 3 CONC osted in the events of the day although her reading was principally con 3 CONC fined to religious books. In 1832 she was married to Daniel Osborn, wh 3 CONC o was born near New Haven, Connecticut, and settled in Ohio in 1829. T 3 CONC hey continued to live in the same neighborhood until 1858 when they mov 3 CONC ed to Porter County, settling at Jackson Center. Her husband was calle 3 CONC d by death in 1880, since which time she has lived with her son Edward. S 3 CONC he leaves six children, 23 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.

Cole, in 1880. He had bought some property on the south si 3 CONC de of the B & O RR about where a country road (now Porter Co. Road 900N 3 CONC ) crosses the tracks. It seemed an ideal spot for a station and a cent 3 CONC ral location for the local farmers to bring goods to be shipped by rail 3 CONC . He established a General Store, petitioned for and won a Post Office s 3 CONC tatus, a blacksmith shop, and a freight loading platform. He was the f 3 CONC irst Postmaster for the village. The station shipped large quantities o 3 CONC f milk, beef, and other farm goods to Chicago and received other goods i 3 CONC n return. It was at one time the largest sassafras root tea shipping c 3 CONC enter on the B & O, evidently something to be proud of, then. For peri 3 CONC ods of time lumber was shipped to Chicago from this station and grain p 3 CONC roducts as well. A lot of beer was returned to Woodville, and broken b 3 CONC ottles of Sieps Beer still turn up from time to time along the right of w 3 CONC ay. I have two pictures of Woodville - one is of the General store wit 3 CONC h John Cole standing in front of it, and the other is of the station, a v 3 CONC ery nice building with a large platform for milk cans and an ornate sca 3 CONC le that gave fortunes for a penny. This scale still exists and gives f 3 CONC ortunes somewhere in the area. 3 CONT 3 CONT Clinton X. Griswold tells of stories he heard as a child growing up in t 3 CONC his area of the Woodville Village. Joseph Hineline operated a little c 3 CONC reamery and cheese factory at the Woodville stop and raised a daughter w 3 CONC ho would eventually marry John Cole's son. For a time John Cole built " 3 CONC cracky wagons" in his blacksmith shop and sold them around the neighbor 3 CONC hood. John had a very nice farm about a mile and a half away that he e 3 CONC stablished just before the Civil War. After about twenty-some years of f 3 CONC arming he moved from that farm to his land at Woodville to be closer to h 3 CONC is investments. Worsening back problems related to war injuries demand 3 CONC ed he lessen his travel and work. Another son-in-law, Alexander Freer, t 3 CONC ook over the Postmaster and store clerk duties. However, a degenerativ 3 CONC e nerve disease eventually crippled him and he died young. Another man 3 CONC , H. W. Johnson, nicknamed "Windy" for his tall tales, helped out in th 3 CONC e store and began to take more responsibilities as John aged and Alex b 3 CONC ecame more infirm. When John died in 1905 his widow sold the store and m 3 CONC uch of the land to Dave Linderman who quickly closed the store and open 3 CONC ed a nursery business that still exists in his name and family.

There were a lot of jokes a 2 CONC bout this in later years and any family member caught digging for any r 2 CONC eason anywhere on or around the property would be accused of trying to f 2 CONC ind "the old man's money." By the time I came along most thought the s 2 CONC tory was just that -- a story. However, there may be some truth behind i 2 CONC t -- some older family members and neighbors claim to have seen the tre 2 CONC asure before it was buried. One source, still alive when I became inte 2 CONC rested in the truth behind the story, told me that as a child he had be 2 CONC en shown two old kitchen pots full of gold coins and items. Soon after t 2 CONC hat, George Cole denied it had happened and nothing whatever was ever f 2 CONC ound of the two pots or the gold. One old family member (not known for h 2 CONC is ability to tell a straight story) said he had heard the stories from h 2 CONC is parents and had heard that George had buried the treasure to keep it o 2 CONC ut of others' hands and refused to tell anyone where it was, even many y 2 CONC ears later. 2 CONT Possible truth: When the B&O Russian immigrant train derailed and burn 2 CONC t just west of the Woodville curve, George was one of the first of many n 2 CONC eighbors called in to help with the injured and dead. Nearly all of th 2 CONC ese immigrants were fresh off the boat and were in possession of their f 2 CONC amily wealth to be used to purchase farm land somewhere further west. I 2 CONC t is my contention that George, being early on the scene, found a lot o 2 CONC f valuables and coins and, like the others, pocketed much of it. He ev 2 CONC idently was not the only one doing so -- the feeling being that, many o 2 CONC f the immigrants having burned in the old wooden coaches, the possessio 2 CONC ns would not likely find its way back to Russia or to relatives anyway. I f 2 CONC eel that he regretted doing this and buried the gold out of guilt and r 2 CONC epentance and swore never to tell anyone of its existance. (My neighbo 2 CONC r, whenever I'm digging a hole for another bush or tree, yells over to m 2 CONC e that there's no use digging, he's already found the gold!) 2 CONT 2 CONT The Catalpas: In the front yard of George Cole's home, even to this da 2 CONC y (1995), are two giant catalpa trees. South of the home is about 1 -1 2 CONC /2 acres of old catalpas that has always been know as the "Catalpa Grov 2 CONC e." When one of the largest ones blew over about 10 years ago, I cut i 2 CONC t up and counted the rings -- there were 80. And that would be about t 2 CONC he time of the famous "Catalpa Incident." A salesman came to the home o 2 CONC ne day and proceeded to tell George that he was associated with the B&O a 2 CONC nd other area railroads. These railroads, he explained, were in dire n 2 CONC eed of good timber stands to provide wood for rail ties and that they w 2 CONC ould pay good money to area farmers for a good stand of the right kind o 2 CONC f wood to make ties from, close to the tracks (to reduce transportation c 2 CONC osts). A wondrous newly found tree was discovered to make about the be 2 CONC st railroad ties known to man -- and this tree grew both tall and sturd 2 CONC ily and, more importantly, very quickly. Besides that, it was a wonder 2 CONC ful shade tree and had thousands of fragrant white blooms every spring, m 2 CONC aking it a most desireable yard tree. George bit on the salesman's pit 2 CONC ch and wanted to be the first in the area to have a substantial stand o 2 CONC f these trees. He envisioned getting very rich, as many of the farmers h 2 CONC ad some thirty years earlier, selling most all of their hardwood timber t 2 CONC o lumber companies supplying Chicago with wood to rebuild homes lost in t 2 CONC he great Chicago Fire. So he borrowed the wife's butter and egg money a 2 CONC nd bought as many "whips" as he could. He planted them where most stil 2 CONC l stand to this day, uncut and unsold -- and mostly unwanted by man, be 2 CONC ast and railroad. Mrs. Cole was not enthused. 2 CONT 2 CONT When it rained, George could be heard outside weeding his flower beds a 2 CONC nd garden, because he always seemed happiest in this occupation and wou 2 CONC ld sing loud enough for the neighborhood to hear. 2 CONT When the neighbors received a new piano one day, George invited himself o 2 CONC ver and asked if any of them could play the "durn thing?" I was told b 2 CONC y one of the children of this family that none could play the piano and t 2 CONC hat George, hearing this, sat himself down and proceeded to entertain a 2 CONC ny and all with long memorized selections and sang to them as well. Ev 2 CONC idently music was and has been an inborn talent with many of the Coles. 2 CONT Very late in life, George developed diabetes and eventually was hospita 2 CONC lized in LaPorte. While there, (a Catholic hospital with Polish Nuns) M 2 CONC y grandmother (Val's wife) and Clyle's wife had come to look after him a 2 CONC nd to be there while he had surgery. During the operation one of the n 2 CONC on-English speaking Nuns brought my grandmother a large heavy bundle wr 2 CONC apped in white cloths. My grandmother took it and opened it just enoug 2 CONC h to see what it was. It was George's leg! They had amputated it due t 2 CONC o gangrene. Evidently, the belief was that an amputated appendage shou 2 CONC ld be buried with the body even though the rest of the body might not b 2 CONC e ready for some years to come. My grandmother (not being Polish or Ca 2 CONC tholic) did what she thought best -- she found her Polish sister-in-law ( 2 CONC Clyle's wife) and handed the bundle to her, and then scooted away. The c 2 CONC ontention is that the leg was brought back to the farm and buried discr 2 CONC etely somewhere in the woods. Many of the ghost stories associated wit 2 CONC h George's house and farm deal with his coming back to look for that le 2 CONC g! 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 14 JAN 1869 2 PLAC Woodville, Liberty Twp., Porter Co., Indiana 1 DEAT 2 DATE 17 DEC 1939 2 PLAC , , Porter Co., Indiana 1 BURI 2 DATE AFT 17 DEC 1939 2 PLAC Chesterton, Westchester Twp., Porter Co., Indiana 2 NOTE Chesterton Cemetery 1 CENS 2 DATE 24 AUG 1870 2 PLAC , Liberty Twp., Porter Co., Indiana 1 OCCU a Tinner for the Railroad 2 DATE 1930 2 PLAC , Liberty Twp., Porter Co., Indiana 1 OCCU a Laborer in the E.J. & E.

It could be likely that his roots were in this area of C 2 CONC onnecticut. It has also been surmised that his father died when John w 2 CONC as young and his mother remarried and that John was unable to establish a f 2 CONC amily relationship with his stepfather, resulting in his pursuing a mil 2 CONC itary, nomadic life thereafter, searching for the dominant, father-type o 2 CONC f relationship missing from his adolescence. His wanderings and associ 2 CONC ations with the military life -- structured, disciplined, clearly defin 2 CONC ed goals -- and his devoted responsibility to his young, half-orphaned c 2 CONC hildren -- even clinging to them to provide for them (and himself) the f 2 CONC amily coherence and loyalty which may have been missing in his developi 2 CONC ng, young life -- this could all point to the strong possibility of a m 2 CONC issing father figure. 2 CONT -- Tim Cole 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT From Edward Dillingham and Larry Lieneke: 'John Dillingham of Valparai 2 CONC so, Indiana, b. 2 July 1773, is one of our major unresolved problems.

He always maintained that some were tru 2 CONC e, some partially true and some legendary. This story has little truth a 2 CONC ssociated with it. Please read the comments at the end. 2 CONT 2 CONT Dillinghams come to Porter County, by The Stroller 2 CONT 2 CONT Schuyler Tanner walked miles and miles up and down the cuts made by t 2 CONC he gigantic steam shovels and grading machines when Ridge Road was bein 2 CONC g converted into a national highway -- just to be sure the combined Dil 2 CONC lingham memory was right. They all said Grandma Hannah had told them h 2 CONC er husband, John, had been buried far north of the old trail. But Tann 2 CONC er wanted to be sure those machines didn't disturb the old settler, or, i 2 CONC f they did, that his weary old bones would be given a better resting pl 2 CONC ace with the other departed Dillinghams. 2 CONT Tanner used to tell interesting tales of the first Dillinghams. He s 2 CONC aid John, Hannah and Olcott came from Huron, Ohio, in October 1837. Bac 2 CONC k in Ohio they had been sort of lake dwellers, living close to Lake Hur 2 CONC on. So they, in coming west, naturally came by boat. They came on a l 2 CONC ittle sailing vessel called "The Little Westerner," which was equipped w 2 CONC ith an auxilliary steam engine. Before they arrived, however, they beg 2 CONC an to wish that they had tried the overland route, according to the tal 2 CONC e. Storms beset them almost from the first. The trip occupied 29 mise 2 CONC rable days. The Little Westerner was only a 60-ton ship and was overlo 2 CONC aded. 2 CONT Seek Fabulous Farms 2 CONT The ship was filled with "lookers" -- men who, for the most part, wa 2 CONC nted to get out into the woods after they got into Lake Michigan, to lo 2 CONC ok for one of those fabulous farms for themselves, at $1.50 an acre. Th 2 CONC en there were some who excitedly talked about copper from the Keewenaw P 2 CONC eninsula. The ship was stacked to capacity with more than 100 passenge 2 CONC rs and their gear. There were plows, wagon bodies, pots, children and b 2 CONC edding all piled high on deck. Wagon wheels were lashed to the masts. 2 CONT Now that the Indians were supposed to be cleared from the country, t 2 CONC he great land boom was at its height. And the headquarters was at the l 2 CONC ittle fort on the Chicago River, where it was said, more than 20, 000 p 2 CONC eople came each season. Their engine-equipped sailing vessel was rough a 2 CONC nd everyone was seasick -- all but Olcott, who was enjoying the excitem 2 CONC ent. As they came down the Michigan shore a heavy fog set in. Then soo 2 CONC n heavy rains came. 2 CONT Pelted by Sleet 2 CONT At Muskegon there was some talk of unloading and pushing back before t 2 CONC he lake froze over. Ice was already forming in the lake, but the capta 2 CONC in had a big cod shipment for Michigan City. When they came into sight o 2 CONC f St. Joseph the storm turned into a whipping sleet storm. Just before t 2 CONC hey reached Michigan City another whirling, icy storm whistled in from C 2 CONC hicago and struck the taut canvas with devastating fury. They were nav 2 CONC igating close to the shore, when a warm air mass from somewhere collide 2 CONC d with the cold mass just over their heads -- and then came the bad new 2 CONC s. 2 CONT The ship would discharge its entire cargo at Michigan City. Chicago w 2 CONC as out of the question. "But," said the captain, "it's only a little w 2 CONC ays to Chicago." It took 10 days to get straightened out and to get th 2 CONC e outfit together. By dark, on the evening of Nov. 2, 1837, they arriv 2 CONC ed in what is now Porter County. 2 CONT Camp at Coffee Creek 2 CONT John Dillingham said, "We camped at a place called Thomas Mill or Bi 2 CONC g Sandy Creek or, as it was then being laughingly called, 'Coffee Creek 2 CONC .' There was a very nice gentleman there named Morgan, and he made us f 2 CONC eel at home. The next day we, at his suggestion, went out to look at t 2 CONC he land thereabouts -- and did not go on to southern Illinois as we had i 2 CONC ntended." 2 CONT And Hannah added, "Pa and Olcott thought this country was good enoug 2 CONC h, so we stayed." 2 CONT John was buried in a canoe for a coffin. It made a right nice caske 2 CONC t, with flowers and evergreens placed on top. He was put in the ground o 2 CONC n his own land by the clump of trees at the bend of the creek. 2 CONT 2 CONT 1.) John Dillingham's first daughter by his second wife Hannah had m 2 CONC arried Edward Cole back in Huron COUNTY, Ohio, not Huron, Ohio, where t 2 CONC hey lived by the shores of Lake ERIE, not Huron, if you call 20 - 30 mi 2 CONC les away "by the shores." It was Edward Cole who wanted to move west w 2 CONC ith his young family, Sally and his two boys, David and John, 3 years o 2 CONC ld and 3 months old. Dillingham brought almost his entire second famil 2 CONC y with him -- 8 children from 21 to 5 years old. Olcott, the second yo 2 CONC ungest, was around 8 or 9 and was probably not being consulted about fa 2 CONC mily decisions yet. And of course, this was a year earlier, almost two y 2 CONC ears earlier, than the above record claims and was obtained from record 2 CONC ed deeds and other records. In fact, the intention was to move to this a 2 CONC rea of Porter County in the first place; Edward Cole had scouted the te 2 CONC rritory for the previous two years looking for suitable and affordable l 2 CONC and for both families. 2 CONT 2.) The idea that they took a boat from Lake Erie, through Lake Huro 2 CONC n, and down the shores of Lake Michigan to go to Chicago is the most pr 2 CONC eposterous story I've ever heard of. The White River canal had been op 2 CONC ened from their area of Ohio and went well into Indiana to the head str 2 CONC eams of the Wabash River. If anything, they took a canal barge as far a 2 CONC s they could and then went overland, possibly up through Michigan City, w 2 CONC hich was established at that time, although a clear and protected trail w 2 CONC ent through to present day Westville, Indiana, through the area now cal 2 CONC led LaPorte, or present day Door Prairie. It would be silly to go ten m 2 CONC iles out of the way when a good path (an established buffalo and Indian t 2 CONC rail existed. And it's possible that they ventured into present day Ch 2 CONC esterton and stayed with Jesse Morgan. But probably only to be neighbo 2 CONC rly. 2 CONT 3.) I can't imagine what the ravings are about U.S. Highway 6 (Ridge R 2 CONC oad). The Dillingham cemetery is about half a mile SOUTH of this road, w 2 CONC hich was put through in the first quarter of the 20th century. And Joh 2 CONC n most likely was not buried in a canoe, nor by a "bend in the stream." H 2 CONC is grave site is clearly visible on what was thought to be the highest p 2 CONC oint in Porter County, a long, long way from any moving water. Edward C 2 CONC ole was buried on what was thought to be the second highest point in Po 2 CONC rter County, about 3/4ths of a mile north of John. If anything, Tanner 2 CONC 's tale sounds more like the story of Joseph Bailly, and the lake storm t 2 CONC hat almost swamped their boat sounds suspiciously close to that of an a 2 CONC ctual steamship wreck that happened far later and without the benefit o 2 CONC f John Dillingham's presence. I want to think that Schuyler Tanner got h 2 CONC is tales mixed up while imbibing some of John's famous home-made whiske 2 CONC y. 2 CONT -- Tim Cole 1997 2 CONT 1 SOUR @S11@ 1 SOUR @S51@ 2 QUAY 1 2 PAGE p. 264 1 SOUR @S1@ 1 BIRT 2 DATE 2 JUL 1773 2 PLAC New England 2 NOTE There is presently no evidence that John Dillingham was legally name 3 CONC d John Earl Dillingham, Jr. 3 CONT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 3 CONC ----------------------------------------------- 3 CONT It is generally accepted that John Dillingham is not the son of Ed 3 CONC ward Dillingham and Hannah (Sukey) Ambrose. 3 CONT The parentage of John Dillingham is in question.

Dudley makes no mention of this Edw 3 CONC ard. 3 CONT He might be a son of Mary Curtis, Melatiah's first wife; she married in O 3 CONC ctober 1723 and died in 1727; she had Lemuel in that time; she might al 3 CONC so have had Edward, possibly dying at the birth of one of them. 3 CONT An alternative is that Edward might be an unrecorded son of Phebe Hatch 3 CONC , Melatiah's second wife. She married him 18 Feb 1730 and died 31 Jan 1 3 CONC 731; certainly this could be a childbirth death. 3 CONT Edward certainly did not spring from Melatiah's third wife, Meriah Gilf 3 CONC ord. She married in 1734 and had recorded children in 1735, 1737, 1739, 1 3 CONC 741, 1745, 1747, 1749 and 1757. The first vacant slot there is far too l 3 CONC ate for Edward, who was himself breeding by 1751. Therefore I place his b 3 CONC irth between 1727 and 1731; clearly he was not born between those years b 3 CONC ut rather in one or the other. 3 CONT I found the following on 30 June 1994 in a note by Dudley that I had pr 3 CONC eviously overlooked. 3 CONT Church Records of Hanover, Mass (19d) 3 CONT "Feb 18,1730/31 Melatiah Dillingham and Phebe Hatch, both of Hanover, m 3 CONC arried", and "Born Dec 29,1730-31, Son of Melatiah and Phebe Dillingha 3 CONC m." 3 CONT The lack of a Christian name suggests that the child died, especially g 3 CONC iven that his mother died a month later, and Melatiah didn't marry agai 3 CONC n until 1734. The date of birth, however, supports the idea that this w 3 CONC as the missing Edward Dillingham. Other entries in the same record (see b 3 CONC elow) also lack Christian names. 3 CONT Edward is identified by Winthrop Alexander as the father of several Dil 3 CONC linghams, and (per Alexander) "circumstantial evidence places William i 3 CONC n this family." This refers to William of Freeport, R104 in these note 3 CONC s, father of William and John Griffin, grandfather ofJohn Griffin. 3 CONT What are the circumstances? Melatiah and Edward were blacksmiths; Will 3 CONC iam and William Jr were blacksmiths. The dates are reasonable.

Where he was born I do not recollect, but I think that he sa 3 CONC id in Rhode Island, and that his father's family were formerly from the v 3 CONC icinity of Cape Cod. He had two or three brothers and a sister or two. H 3 CONC e lost his mother when quite young, and his father married a Quakeress f 3 CONC or his second wife. 3 CONT "Early in life he took to the ocean, intending to follow the water, but w 3 CONC hen about seventeen years of age the brig on which he was went to Lisbo 3 CONC n for salt, and on her return trip met with adverse winds and calms, so t 3 CONC hat they were more than double the time that they intended. Their stor 3 CONC e of provisions was exhausted and they were about casting lots to see w 3 CONC ho should be food for the rest, when they discovered a vessel; but she d 3 CONC id not heed their signal of distress. They soon after saw land, and an 3 CONC other vessel came to their relief, enabling them to get into harbor, wh 3 CONC ich was Hartford, Conn., I think. After making a few more voyages he q 3 CONC uit the sea, and before he was twenty-one years of age he married Clari 3 CONC ssa Olcott, of East Hartford, Conn., by whom he had six children, namel 3 CONC y, Henry, Clarissa, Betsey, Sally, Fanny, and Polly, all of whom are de 3 CONC ad; and the dust of two of them is mingled with that of the Fire lands. 3 CONT "Within a year after his marriage he enlisted as third Sergeant under a C 3 CONC aptain Miles, who was recruiting for General Wayne's army, to fight the I 3 CONC ndians. His Captain retained him for some time in the recruiting servi 3 CONC ce before he joined his regiment, which was somewhere on or near the Oh 3 CONC io River. He serve his time out under General Wayne, but was not in th 3 CONC e battle of the Falling timbers, being detailed to guard the Maumee Riv 3 CONC er to attack the Indians. 3 CONT "Many were his hairbreadth escapes while he was in the service. He use 3 CONC d to relate to me the following: At one time he was detailed to carry d 3 CONC ispatches from some post between Cincinnati, and where General Wayne wa 3 CONC s encamped the winter before the war closed, and on his return, a littl 3 CONC e before sunset, he passed an old dry tree that had fallen and was on f 3 CONC ire. He concluded that it was the work of the Indians and that it was n 3 CONC ot safe to stop there for the night, so he pursued his journey. In abo 3 CONC ut a mile he met six or seven men that were on their way to Wayne's cam 3 CONC p. They inquired if there was any fire or chance to make any. He told t 3 CONC hem there was one about a mile ahead of them, and they beset him hard t 3 CONC o turn about and go and stay with them that night. He told them he did n 3 CONC ot consider it safe and that it was a plan of the Indians to decoy some o 3 CONC ne, that they might murder him. They only laughed at him and he put ah 3 CONC ead until it was about dark, then left the trail and put off to one sid 3 CONC e, dug away the snow and made a hole in the ground, got some dry wood a 3 CONC nd made a little fire, took his blanket and covered himself so as not t 3 CONC o have an light seen, and sitting, slept what he could. The next day h 3 CONC e arrived at his post safe. In a few days he heard of those men being k 3 CONC illed by the Indians that night by that fire. 3 CONT "After Mr. Dillingham had served his time out and got his discharge, he r 3 CONC eturned to his family in Connecticut, but after working in one place an 3 CONC d another, some of the time by-the-day, he concluded that Connecticut w 3 CONC as not the best place for him. He took his little family and started f 3 CONC or the far West. He made a stand in the town of Stafford, between Lero 3 CONC y and Batavia, Genesee County, New York, where he lived until 1809. He t 3 CONC hen moved to Ashtabula County, in this State [Ohio] then to Mentor, Gea 3 CONC uga County, thence to Tinker's Creek, near Cleveland. Here he buried h 3 CONC is first wife and two of his daughters, Clarissa and Polly, having buri 3 CONC ed his third daughter, Sally, in Stafford. 3 CONT "He married Hannah Hicox, of Cleveland, for his second wife. She bore h 3 CONC im fourteen or fifteen children, among whom were Sally, Ann, John, Hann 3 CONC ah, Betsey, King, Esther, Olcott and Comfort. They had three births th 3 CONC at were twins. The most of the children died in infancy and I never kn 3 CONC ew their names. 3 CONT "When the war of 1812 broke out Mr. Dillingham was living on Tinker's C 3 CONC reek, and he either volunteered or came as a substitute to Camp Avery. A 3 CONC fter staying there some five or six weeks, his son Henry became dissati 3 CONC sfied with living at home with a step-mother, came out to see him and p 3 CONC revailed on him and his Captain to let him serve out his father's time. 3 CONT "In the Spring (that is 1813) he moved to Bloomingville, and there kept a k 3 CONC ind of log tavern, and he and Henry carried the mail from Cleveland to C 3 CONC amp Seneca, where Gen. Harrison was encamped. 3 CONT "Now let me digress to relate a few incidents connected with those time 3 CONC s. Soon after Major Croghan beat the British and Indians off from Fort S 3 CONC tephenson, now Fremont, the Indians divided into two small bands of som 3 CONC e two or three hundred each, and roamed through different sections of t 3 CONC he country. One party made for Bloomingville, where there was a small s 3 CONC ettlement that had been posted up in a blockhouse. It stood on the opp 3 CONC osite side of the road from the old brick building, built by a company t 3 CONC hat styled themselves the Commercial Bank of Sandusky Bay. The inhabit 3 CONC ants thought there was no danger, and had mostly left the blockhouse an 3 CONC d gone to their homes. It seems to me that there was a hand of Provide 3 CONC nce in their escaping the tomahawk and scalping knife. 3 CONT "Two men, John Paxton and Seth Harrington, both good hunters took it in 3 CONC to their heads to go to a deer lick soon after the battle at Fort Steph 3 CONC enson. The lick was situated somewhere near the road then leading from H 3 CONC uron through Bloomingville to Lower Sandusky, and some distance West. S 3 CONC ome time past the middle of the afternoon they mounted their horses and s 3 CONC tarted. The road ran some of the way across prairie and other places o 3 CONC n ridges. As they went off the prairie onto the ridge, some two miles f 3 CONC rom the blockhouse, they discovered a few Indians coming onto the other e 3 CONC nd of the ridge. Paxton drew his rifle to fire, but Harrington caught i 3 CONC t and told him not to, for there were more behind them, and that they w 3 CONC ere intending to attack the settlement. They wheeled their horses and m 3 CONC ade for the blockhouse, and rallied the settlers as soon as possible. B 3 CONC y that means the settlement was saved. 3 CONT "One more incident of this affair and I will resume my narrative. A Mr 3 CONC s. Wood, a widow, sister of Captain Harrington, as he was always called ( 3 CONC for they elected him their Captain that night,) after carrying in what w 3 CONC ood and water she might want, went upstairs and brought down a one-tine 3 CONC d pitchfork, which she said she was going to fight the Indians with, if t 3 CONC hey attacked them while the Captain drilled the men. She took her post w 3 CONC ith them, with her one tined pitchfork. 3 CONT "Mr. Dillingham took the mail to carry from Cleveland to Camp Seneca, w 3 CONC here General Harrison was encamped. Colonel Proctor, the British comma 3 CONC ndant at Malden, was desirous of getting hold of Harrison's dispatches, t 3 CONC o get some clue of this intentions, and had offered the Indians a large r 3 CONC eward if they would take the mail and bring it to him. General Harriso 3 CONC n was aware of their intentions and frequently sent out detachments fro 3 CONC m Colonel Ball's squadron of mounted riflemen, to clear them from the m 3 CONC ail route. At one time they came upon fourteen of fifteen Indians secr 3 CONC eted in a thicket of hazel brush, and killed all but one, who broke thr 3 CONC ough the horsemen, and as they fired at him, fell over an old log and p 3 CONC retended to be dead, by that means getting away. At another time they k 3 CONC illed nine. This I had from Henry Dillingham, who carried the mail par 3 CONC t of the time instead of his father, and saw the Indians after they wer 3 CONC e killed. 3 CONT "About the close of the war Mr. Dillingham bought a farm a little below t 3 CONC he head of Cold Creek, where Mr. Petingill built a gristmill afterward. I 3 CONC n the Fall of 1815 he bought of John Beatty two hundred acres of land, l 3 CONC ying in 3rd section of Perkins Township, on Pike Creek, about half way b 3 CONC etween Bloomingville and Sandusky City. Here he made considerable impr 3 CONC ovement, but finding that Beatty's title to the land was not good, he e 3 CONC xchanged with him for land in the first section of Norwalk Township, wh 3 CONC ere he lived from October 1819 until June 1836. He sold the latter tra 3 CONC ct to Mr. Chas. Jackson, and moved to Porter Co., Indiana, with most of h 3 CONC is family, and there he died some four or five years ago, aged about ni 3 CONC nety, his wire having died some two years before him. 3 CONT "Henry Dillingham married Amanda Page, and began a farm on Pike Creek, t 3 CONC he next lot south of his father's. After living on it a year he sold o 3 CONC ut to a man by the name of Rodgers, who let it go back to Mr. Beatty. H 3 CONC e moved to his father-in-law's and stayed a year, then back to Pike Cre 3 CONC ek in March, and lived there until the 1st of October, 1819, then to th 3 CONC e first section of Norwalk, where he lived, I think, about two years. H 3 CONC e then moved to Ridgefield and made the first beginning in what is call 3 CONC ed the Webb settlement, where he lived until 1837, when he sold to a ma 3 CONC n by the name of Baldwin, who afterwards sold to Daniel Ruggles. In Ju 3 CONC ne 1839, he moved to Porter County, Ind., where he died, in January 185 3 CONC 0. They had six children born on the Fire Lands, namely, Harriet, Rebe 3 CONC cca, Adelia, Clarissa, Lyman, and one that died and was buried on the f 3 CONC arm in Ridgefield. 3 CONT "Betsey Dillingham, the second daughter of John Dillingham, died the 28 3 CONC th of July, 1818, on Pike Creek, and was buried on her father's farm, o 3 CONC n a ridge the east side of the creek, where there were four others buri 3 CONC ed - a man and his son, Clark by name, in one grave. The other two wer 3 CONC e Titus Allen, a son of Justes Allen, aged about fifteen, and an infant c 3 CONC hild of Zina Rhoads. The last time I was there the graves were not to b 3 CONC e found. The farm had been divided and the ridge had been built on, ne 3 CONC ar where the graves had been. 3 CONT "Fanny, the fourth daughter of Mr. Dillingham, was married Amos Felt, t 3 CONC he writer of this article, October 7th, 1819, by Julius House, Esq. The 3 CONC y were the first couple that he married. She died May 26th, 1840, aged 3 3 CONC 7 years, 1 month and 9 days. She had eight children.

They moved to Porter County, Indiana, in 1837, w 3 CONC here they still remain, and, it is said, have accumulated a large prope 3 CONC rty. 3 CONT "Mr. Dillingham was a very stirring, active man, a great lover of hands 3 CONC ome cattle - red and brindle being his favorite colors. But he was a p 3 CONC oor feeder and quite often lost much stock. He was rather of a roving m 3 CONC ind for one that married so young. I once asked him how he came to qui 3 CONC t a sailor's life.

W 3 CONC e did go to SLC, and I did go through many pages of the Barnstable par 3 CONC ish records. My problem is that I have misfiled 3 CONT the "To Type" folder which I had planned to do--and send you. But I c 3 CONC an share some info now. The Barnstable book is very large and was ext 3 CONC racted by Wainwright in late 1880s and printed some 20 years later. I c 3 CONC hecked the IGI, and I believe it is all on the IGI. However, there are c 3 CONC lues when you can read the church register in the order in which each e 3 CONC vent occurred. As you probably know, almost 95% of the extant English p 3 CONC arish records are now completed on the IGI. I didn't get to study my n 3 CONC otes before they went astray. What I thought might be really helpful w 3 CONC ere the recorded death records which are not on the IGI. One thing bo 3 CONC thers me. There was not another person named Hugh in the Cole or Tibb 3 CONC es family, or in any family there in that time. That's unusual. Alth 3 CONC ough I haven't done too much English research, in other parishes that I h 3 CONC ave done, I've found patterns of names very predictable. I notice (on I 3 CONC GI) that there was a Hugh Cole of London which was probably the reason t 3 CONC hat James' parents were identified as James/Mary Lobell Cole by earlie 3 CONC r researchers. There were not many entries on the Tibbes family of var 3 CONC ious spellings. They may have moved into Barnstable from elsewhere. I 3 CONC f I can't find my notes, I'm going to do it over again next year at SL 3 CONC C. THose death records are important as it may indicate an earlier ge 3 CONC neration.

He had in months past frequently expressed himself so tired o 2 CONC f life as to desire to die. He wrote a letter with a pencil, dated 7th o 2 CONC f June, which covered one large page, describing how he felt about the c 2 CONC ourse of Johon in perverting and transcending their agreement as to Joh 2 CONC on's taking fallen timber from his premises. The other side of that sam 2 CONC e sheet was partly covered with a writing dated June 8, which was suppl 2 CONC emental to the writing of the 7th, and declared his weariness of life a 2 CONC nd preference for death.

She was born in Tioga County, N.Y. in t 2 CONC he year 1810, and during the period of numerous Indian massacres which p 2 CONC revailed previous to the War of 1812. This County was at that time a c 2 CONC entral rendezvous of the belligerant tribes and very sparsely settled b 2 CONC y whites. Her father and a few friends had emigrated from Vermont and b 2 CONC rought with them the creed "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." Th 2 CONC ey were particular to observe this last clause of this motto as it was t 2 CONC he prime necessity of the little colony of white settlers. After the t 2 CONC reaty of peace which followed the War her father emigrated West and set 2 CONC tled in Auron [sic, Huron] County, Ohio in 1814. At this time northern O 2 CONC hio was an unbroken wilderness and there was but little to encourage se 2 CONC ttlement and emigration was slow and White neighborhoods few and far be 2 CONC tween. But her father built his hope and had faith that the great chai 2 CONC n of lakes would build up a trade that would result in founding an Empi 2 CONC re in the West. In the year 1825 the Erie Canal, which had been in con 2 CONC struction for eight years, was completed. Fresh hopes were born, and t 2 CONC hose of the colony who had made improvements on their farm were amply r 2 CONC ewarded and the country received a large immigration from the New Engla 2 CONC nd states. At this time Carthiette Cole was 15 years of age and had be 2 CONC en reared within the daily sound of the Indian war whoop and the nightl 2 CONC y brawls of wolves. Although schools were nearly unknown outside the v 2 CONC illages she acquired a good education and in the prime of life was well p 2 CONC osted in the events of the day although her reading was principally con 2 CONC fined to religious books. In 1832 she was married to Daniel Osborn, wh 2 CONC o was born near New Haven, Connecticut, and settled in Ohio in 1829. T 2 CONC hey continued to live in the same neighborhood until 1858 when they mov 2 CONC ed to Porter County, settling at Jackson Center. Her husband was calle 2 CONC d by death in 1880, since which time she has lived with her son Edward. S 2 CONC he leaves six children, 23 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. Sh 2 CONC e had an unyielding faith in the immortality of the soul, and her rule o 2 CONC f action was based on this belief. 2 CONT 0 @S22@ SOUR 1 ABBR Chesterton Tribune 1 TITL A local newspaper for the nearby town of Chesterton, Indiana (4 January 1 2 CONC 906) 1 _SUBQ A local newspaper for the nearby town of Chesterton, Indiana 1 _BIBL A local newspaper for the nearby town of Chesterton, Indiana. 4 January 1 2 CONC 906. 1 TEXT From The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, IN, 4 January 1906 2 CONT CARD OF THANKS. 2 CONT WE DESIRE TO RETURN OUR THANKS to the members or (sic) the Masonic fra 2 CONC ternity, friends and neighbors for their kindness and assistance during t 2 CONC he illness and death of our husband and father. 2 CONT MRS. JOHN C. COLE AND FAMILY. 2 CONT 2 CONT ANOTHER PIONEER GONE 2 CONT John C. Cole, one of Porter county's earliest settlers, passed away at h 2 CONC is home in Woodville, Sunday, Dec. 31, 1905, of pneumonia, after an ill 2 CONC ness of four days, aged 69 years, 11 months, 4 days. 2 CONT John C. Cole, son of Edward P. and Sally (Dillingham) Cole, was born i 2 CONC n Huron county, Ohio, January 27, 1836. Two years later the family cam 2 CONC e to Northern Indiana and began the strenuous task of creating a home i 2 CONC n the forest wilderness. In those days the marks of civilization were f 2 CONC ew; the deer roamed at will through the woods, and even a few Indians s 2 CONC till remained. [I understand Edward and John left the doors unlatched s 2 CONC o Indians could come in during the night and warm themselves on chilly n 2 CONC ights] Succeeding years saw the forest areas transformed into cultivate 2 CONC d fields. 2 CONT In his twentieth year, Mr. Cole was married to Mary A. Osborn, a nativ 2 CONC e of Huron county, Ohio. He then began his home making a short distanc 2 CONC e from the paternal estate. He toiled sturdily and successfully. At t 2 CONC he outbreak of the civil war he enlisted with Company E., 73rd Ind. Vol 2 CONC . Infantry, and served three years, becoming orderly sergeant, with spe 2 CONC cial charge at times of ordinance and commissary. With his regiment he p 2 CONC articipated in the battles of Perryville, Chapel Hill and a raid to Ala 2 CONC bama where they were captured and paroled and placed on guard duty. [He e 2 CONC vidently took this seriously enough to help the Confederates repel a Un 2 CONC ion attack on the prison (!)] He was mustered out of service at Nashvi 2 CONC lle July 10, 1865. 2 CONT In 1880 Mr. Cole founded Woodville Station, on the B. & O. railroad, a 2 CONC nd removed to that place in 1882. 2 CONT Several days ago an attack of pneumonia, made more serious by failing h 2 CONC ealth, terminated a long and well spent life. The funeral was held Jan 2 CONC uary 2, at the Methodist church in Chesterton, Revs. Smock and Smith of 2 CONC ficiating. Ritualistic services were conducted by the Masonic order un 2 CONC der the auspices of Calumet Lodge, No. 379, of which Mr. Cole had been a m 2 CONC ember since 1872. Several touching tributes of respect were tendered b 2 CONC y men who had been his life long friends. Interment took place in the C 2 CONC hesterton cemetery. 2 CONT Besides the loving wife there remain to mourn, two daughters and three s 2 CONC ons --Etta Griswold, Adah Freer, Daniel E., George J., and Frederic H.; a b 2 CONC rother, C. C. Cole, and a sister, Lois McCorkel. 2 CONT Mr. Cole was a useful member of the community in which he lived. He h 2 CONC ad been long identified with the Republican party, which had tendered h 2 CONC im several offices of trust. [More on his feelings about the Republican p 2 CONC arty a little later] He was scrupulously honest, square in his dealing 2 CONC s with his fellow men and kind to the needy. 2 CONT May he rest in peace. 2 CONT 2 CONT 4 January 1906 2 CONT MEMORIAM 2 CONT At a called meeting of Calumet Lodge No. 379 F. & A.M. at 8 o'clock A 2 CONC .M. on January 2, 1906, the following resolutions were adopted: 2 CONT RESOLVED, That a committee be appointed to draft a resolution of respe 2 CONC ct and condolence on the death of Brother John C.
