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.

The Immigrant

George Polsgrove arrived in Phildelphia, Pa., on Sept. 11, 1732 on the ship "Philadelphia". He was listed on the ship manifest as Jorg Palsgrove. He was a blacksmith by trade as was his father-in-law. He married, bought land from his father-iin-law, and all of his children were born in Philadelphia Co., Pa. George made a 2nd trip to Palentine, returning to Philadelphia from Rotterdam on the ship "St. Mark" Sept. 26, 1741, his name on the manifest was spelled George Pfaltzgraff. His name in Palentine was spelled Johan Jorg Pfaltzgraff, and also seen as Paltzgraf. Later spelling includes Pallsgrove, Palsgrove, Pollsgrove, Polsgrove and Pottsgrove.

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."

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.

Polsgrove, Jacob (I680)

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."

Henry is listed on the 1810 Pendleton Co., Ky census page 108, line 7. 2 males age under age 10, 1 male 26-45 (Henry). 2 females under age 10 and 1 female 26-45 (his unkn 1st wife).
Henry appears in the 1830 census of Hickman Co., Ky., age 50. Tombstone states he was born in 1784, born Pennsylvania, by census. Henry is listed with 6 sons in 1830. He served in the Kentucky Cornstalk Brigade as an Ensign, 21st regimentg 20, 1808, Pendleton co., Ky. He was in Campbell Co., Ky between 1795 and 1806, in Pendleton Co., Ky after 1806. He received a land grant of 160 acres about 1825 in Hickman Co., Ky, which became Fulton Co., Ky after 1845. Henry is buried in the woods northwest of Jordan, Fulton co., Ky. Tombstone still legible.

Henry Polsgrove, by Kent Forbis

Henry, the eldest, after serving in the Cornstalk Brigade, Ky Militia, 21st reg. as an Ensign (ca 1808) stayed for awhile in the area of Polsgrove Landing at the junction of Flatt Creek and the Kentucky River, about 10 miles north of Frankfort, Ky. There his brothers Jacob & George established a small business shipping local farmers produce downriver on flat boats to Louisville, Ky. The community that grew up around them was called Polsgrove Landing and later Polsgrove, Ky. When the Jackson Purchase was ratified by the U.S. Congress, Henry was given (actually bought for $1.00 per acre) a land grant, just north of Jordan, Ky. His land grant was for the NE Qtr Section 36 Township one, Range 4 West.

In 1825, Henry and four related families (Huffman, Brown, Lewis & Wilson) left Polsgrove Landing on flattop riverboats, coming down the Kentucky River to the Ohio, down the Ohio to the Mississippi to the port of Hickman, Ky and thense upstream on the Bayou de Chien to the port of Moscow. Henry's land just a short distance overland from there.

An interesting bit of family history tied to actual historical fact during this time.

In 1779-80, Dr. Walker had surveyed the boundary line to separate the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. His line failed to establish the true parallel of 36 degrees 30 minuets, his line falling from 6-10 miles north of the true parallel. After disputes between the states involving this area, an agreement was reached in 1820, by which these lands were to be given to Kentucky. That is why the boundary line between the Tennessee River west to the Mississippi River is farther south than the boundary line in east of the Tennessee River.

In the Polsgrove family all records show a daughter of Henry born in 1825, as born in Tennessee. Obviously, the information had not spread to such rural areas at this time, and would not have been of much importance to farming people. Therefore, Henry's farm was in Tennessee he thought in 1825 and when the census was taken in 1830 and thereafter, it was recorded that Emeline had been born in Tennessee in 1825. In legal terms and from then on, his farm would stay in Kentucky.

Henry and the related families, all very closely connected, all had land grants or purchased lands adjoining one another, or close by, mainly along the western side of what is now Route#166. Henry and James Lewis, his father-in-law had 320 acres each. James Lewis also had 18 slaves. He would have considered a moderately wealthy man in his time. This "Plantation" comprised 1440 acres of prime agricultural land.

In 1837 Phillip Huffman, Henry's brother-in-law, appears to have wanted to liquidate and move on. First on Mar 18, 1837 he mortgaged his land for $672.00 to John Hanna, agent for Caldwell Hanna & Co. a firm of lawyers based in Louisville, Ky a an and Hickman, Ky., although John Hanna lived near by in the area. The mortgage was for one year. On Oct. 21, 1827, Phillip Huffman sold this same land to David James for $800.00, with the following notation on the deed...."with the excepeptioion of a lot sold off to Ryan Fisher including Larks of ole tan yard." On Nov. 6, 1837, Phillip Huffman to Rilan Fisher for $150.00..."a certain lot of land...containing 8 acres more or less and being the NE corner of quarter section 29 Twp One, Range 4 West, all that east of the Spring branch to include Larky old tan yard." A tan yard is place were animal skins are processed to make leather.

David James took possession of the land he had bought and had his family established there for the 1840 census, Hickman Co., Ky with 8 members in his household. Rilan or Rylan Fisher was not recorded in any document before or after the land sale deed and he appears on no census.

In a history of Franklin Co., I came across this item..."Coleman settled south of Franklin about 1806 and established a tan-yard near a spring known then as Brown's Spring, named for Hezikiah Brown who lived adjacent."

In 1845, William Locke Alexander moved to the Jordan, Ky area and purchased land. Part of this land was the SW Qtr Section 25m Twp One Range 4 West where my great-great-great grandfathers grave site is located. When he purchased this tract, he could not get a clear title. He had to bring suit against Thomas M. Smith, Stephen Hanna, Charles Hanna, Charles Irvine and Elizabeth Irvine. All heirs of the deceased partners in Caldwell Hanna & Co.

On Oct 28, 1846, the Fulton County Circuit Court awarded Alexander the entire and complete quarter section in question. The Fulton County Court Clerk could not find the records on this suit, nor the deed when originally sold to Alexander. Thihhis court proceeding took place during the transition when Fulton County split off from Hickman County in 1845, and must have been misplaced or lost. However, in looking at the deed involved originally, the lot sale. The Court Clerk had made an error, writting section 29 and not section 25. Also, Rilan Fisher seems to have just disappeared. There is also the possibility that the mortgage of 1837 had never been paid off.

Whatever transpired at the time may never be known, but the fact is that William Locke Alexander was awarded the property and built his home close by the wooded area and called it "Pleasant Green".

Henry was buried in 1842 on this lot which may never have been farmed. It is a pleasant, wooded area, possibly with a spring at that time, on a slight ridge, overlooking Henry's "Plantation". I am grateful and pleased that William Locke Alexander's descendants and relatives have been aware of an preserved my ancestors tombstone and probable grave site.
