Wilson, Nancy Jane (I67)

NATU: 24 Sept. 1762 Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. Residence: York Co., PA.

Lived on a plantation of 326 1/2 acres which his father acquired by occupation and improvement, in 1728 and which was later patented to him. This land was later owned by Daniel Kohr and sons, and others, and is half miles notheast of York. In prospecting this section the attention of Bernhard and his father were arrested by the magnificent timber, the trees being as straight as arrows and extraordinary height and circumference.

Here Berhard determined to settle, and immediately began the construction of the settler's log house. What was unbroken forest in 1728, became open farm land in the late 1800's. Later in life and prior to 1780, Bernhard purchased the lot and house, No. 172 on the noth side of west Philadelphia Street in York. This home later was owned by a J.W. Buckinghan and Mrs. John Pallmtag. Bernhard died in this home in 1804 at the age of 85.

Wilson, Joseph C (I1144)

Robert Horton came to America aboard the Justina in 1769. He was listed as an Emigrant in Bondage in the book of the same name. According to family lore, he got caught stealing green apples. He was sentenced to transportation and placed aboarrd the Justitia. The Justitia was a 260 ton ship that was used to haul tobacco from Virginia to London and it brought prisoners from Europe to America. We say Europe because we do not think he was from London. We think he may have been brought there by some other vessel and then placed aboard the Justitia. He was assigned to bondage under a tanner. We actually believe the Horton family was from Ireland at this time.

He joined the VA Militia in 1776, under the command of Captain John Thornton. Robert was in the battles of White Plains, York Island, Brandywine and Germantown. Robert was discharged in February 1778 at Valley Forge. Remembering history, the winter of 1777-1778 was pure hell for the soldiers at Valley Forge. Robert's discharge would coincide with many others serving the same.

He filed for his pension on April 10, 1818 while a resident of Culpeper county at age 66 years. In 1837, Jaley filed for his pension from her home in Falls Township of Muskingum County, Ohio. Witnessing her application was a Mary Anderson, her daughter who married an Elsey Anderson.

ALSACE-LORRAINE. "The fortunes of France's two old northeast provinces - Alsace and Lorraine have filled many pages of history. They lie along the boundary of France and Germany at the crossroads of trans-European travel. This positiond briniing them wealth and commerce, but it also placed then in the path of war and invasion. Their nationality shifted repeatedly as the great powers fought for possession of their fertile fields and rich resources. Today they compose one of France's most important industrial areas.
Although the two provinces are often spoken of as a single territory, they are actually quite distict regions. Alsace starts as a gentle plain west of the Rhine. It rises to the western boundary in the Vosges. Lorraine lies to the west otream carved plateau that merges with the Paris Basin.
Alsace was a part of Germany for several centuries but was given back to France in 1648 by the Treaty of Westphalia. In 1681 the French seized and retained Strasbourg, the chief city of the region."

Polsgrove, John George (I699)

The Pioneer

[grayshouse3.FTW]

Jacob Polsgrove (also spelled Palsgrove) was born 1748, confirmed 1766 at Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church, named in his father's will in 1757, a laborer by trade, on the tax lists of Philadelphia Co., Pa., 1779, 1780, 1781 and 1782. Served in thhe Revolutionary War, class 3 of Capt. Benjamin Markley's Company, Pennsylvania Militia, in 1781. Appears as Jacob Polsgrove with 5 other white souls in the 1784 census of Hampshire Co., Va. He last appears in the 1800 census of Scott Co., Ky., probably reaching Pendleton Co., Ky before 1810. He had three sons, Henry b. 1784, Jacob b. 1785 and George b. 1792. He also had three daughters, Margaret, Catherine and Mary. The daughters and first born son, Henry, were all born in Pennsylvania.
Kentucky was originally a part of the western lands of Virginia. The oldest state west of the Appalachian Highlands, it has its first permanent settlement in 1775 - about a year before Daniel Boone brought his wife and teenage daughter to ln the town that was named after him, Boonesbourgh (now Boonesboro). During the next 15 years the population of the area grew to more than 73,000. In 1792, with the permission of Virginia, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the 15th state.

Brown, W H (I72)

We called my Uncle, Otis. He died of Pulmary Tuberculosis and Psychosis due to Cardiac Pulmonary Disease. He died at Norwalk State Hospital. He was 39 years old at time of his death. His Hospital Record Number is 26452. Uncle Otis is Buried at Park Lawn Cemetery next to my Dad John Payton. His occupation was a Truck Driver for a Transfer Company. He left behind his wife and six children.[payton.ftw]

In a letter written by Rosella Payton Clark to Paul Payton she states:

"I don't really remember alot about Otis' youth. You see, we were a family of 10 children being raised in the great depression. Life was not easy on our parents, trying to feed and clothe all. It was a very tough time just making it.
Otis like sports in school. He was on the track team; his specialty being the pole vault. Baseball was a big part of his life also, especially in his young adult life. He was a pitcher on a softball team; the fast pitch style. The same teaeeam played together year after year and won many championships. All three of the older Payton boys played on the same team; so they had their own cheering section........ In spite of the times, we did have lots of fun growing up - we were very protective of each other. The boys took care of each other. It makes me sad to admit that people in our age group lived thru the best of times - morally and spiritually - it seems family life is on the decline."

"Otis also had a giant case of wanderlust. He had seen most of the U.S. A. by adulthood. For no reason, he would pack a little sack of belongings and hop a boxcar; he would be gone for a month or so and one day he would turn up - dirty and hungry, and we'd all be so happy to see him. He'd tell us of where he'd been (New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or whereever). In those days he would be called a hobo. My mother fed lots of hobos who would show up at our door asking for food. I guess she hoped someone somewhere was feeding her boy."

"We had an aunt who owned race horses. She was based in California, but traveled the country in the racing season. She would make it to a local track once a year and Otis loved to help her at her stalls. She would let him ride and excercise the horses. She begged our Dad to let Otis leave with her and become a jockey. Well, he had this growing spell and became much too tall to do that."
