| 908 | Forwarded by Dick Matteson TRAVERS:--This family is believed to be of Norman French extraction (de la Traverse) dating from the time of William the Conqueror. The Maryland family should not be confounded with the Virginia Traverses, represented by Col. William Travers (1630-1678). Our William Travers (1640-1701) settled in Maryland about 1665, and was a Justice of the Calvert County Court in 1675/6, and of the Dorchester County Court in 1681. In 1700 he gave his age as 60 years (Dor. Co., old Liber 5, folio 162). His will, dated 20 November, 1700, and proved 24 October, 1701, in Dorchester County, mentions his wife Elizabeth, his son Matthew and others. His widow, Elizabeth Travers, nee--Chaplaine, gave her age as 76 years in 1723 (Annapolis, Liber P. L., 973). In 1701 William Chaplaine (with wife Susannah), son of William Chaplaine, Sr., executed a deed to his sister, "Elizabeth Travers, relict of William Travers (late of Dorchester County, deceased), who was the dau--of William Chaplaine, deceased" (Dor. Co., old Liber 6, folio 78). Matthew Travers (1672-1742), son of William and Elizabeth (Chaplaine) Travers, gave his age as 60 years in 1732 (Annapolis, Liber I. R., No. 2, folio 782). He m--about 1693, Elizabeth Hooper, dau--of Henry and Elizabeth (Denwood) Hooper, as shown by a deed from Henry Hooper to Matthew Travers, son of William, in 1693 (Dor. Co., old Liber 5, folio]. | TRAVERS, WILLIAM (I13469)

| 915 | Frederick and Barbara Ann continued to live on their farm in Emert Cove until their death. both of them were buried in the family graveyard on their farm. Then this graveyard was given to the Emert Cove community as a public burying ground and was later named as Emert Cove Cemetery. This cemetery is located on old Emert Cove Road in the town of Pittman Center today. It has been said that the late Edward Emert of Sevierville, TN had a family chest which was brought to Sevier County, TN from Pennsylvani circa 1795. This chest was given to Barbara Ann by her parents. The handwriting on the chest has puzzled many folks. Probably it is written in "Old German Script" and reads ... "Barbara Neidigin, Anno 1772." [This is German version of name.] " - "The Book of Regan/Reagan," German names are of the following pattern. First First name is the name of a saint and is not the name you are commonly called. The Second First name is the name you called or go by. There is no middle name. The first two names traditionally come from family members that are deonted by a complex birth order. The Last name is the Surname but also denaotes the gender of the child. So Barbara was named after Saint Anno/Anne the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus. Anno is clearly her First First name and Barabra then being her next or Second First name and what she was called at the time of her birth. The last name Neidigin is the surname Neidig with the traditional letters "in" added to the end of the last name of a female. The "in" added to the female surname reflects that the name was written before she was wed and that the handwriting on the chest was placed there the same year she was wed, but before the wedding, most likley as a gift. Anno Barbara Neidigin was her birth name. Her first name was Anglicized to Ann and her two first names became inverted to Barbara as first name and Ann as middle name. There is actually no puzzle or mystery to the handwritting on the chest or to her birth name. The surname Neidig is roughly pronounced "Nightish" for the males and "Nightishen" for the unmarried or not yet married females and is a reason why the surname is sometimes changed to Knight. - Kellie Sue Sapp King Barbara is listed with her son Daniel in 1840 Sevier County, Tennessee census and was buried in family graveyard which later became Emert Cove Cemetery.

Marke, W.C. William Chapline. Probated Jan. 5, 1669. Copied from Folio 363, Liber No. 1, Register of Wills Office, Annapolis, MD" -From "Travers of Dorchester" (copy at Maryland His. Soc. and LDS library in SLC, Utah {*Call # 929.273 T697td*; 207 pages}). Author D. Frank Potter page 102: "William Chapline was born in England at "Chapline Choice". He married Mary Hooper in 1650. He was the son of Isaac Chapline and Mary Calvert? Isaac was born in 1584 in England, was a captain in the Royal Navy, and came to Virginia in the Ship "Starr" as a member of the King's Council in 1610, evidently to the newly forming colony of Jamestown. He married Mary in 1606. She was born in England in 1586 and came to Virginia in Ship "James" in 1622. Some historians claim Mary was a sister of the first Lord Baltimore. However, "Colonial Families of the U.S.A. by George MacKenzie from which this Chaplin history is taken, places a question mark next to her Calvert surname. So this remains to be proven. In the pages of the book dealing with the Calvert lineage, no further light is shed on this question." | CHAPLINE, WILLIAM I (I1227)

| 919 | From "The Tenmile Country and It's Pioneer Families". Leonard Garrison.......applied for a pension for service in the Revolution, from Greene County, Penns ylvania, on September 17, 1833. (National Arch. Pa.-W.7503). From this appli cation, and that of his wife, we learn the service of his brother, George Gar rison, and many of the statistics of his own family. He stated that he was born in Maryland on May 5, 1760. In 1777 he went out as a drafted militaman and served at Garads Fort under Captain Samuel Swindler and served for two months. After he got back home he was called again to serve under Captain Stephen Gapen for a period of a month. In the Spring of 1778, he as drafted to go to Hannastown, but after getting as far as Uniontown, his command under, Lieutenant Henry Myers, was ordered to join Colonel Alexander McClean on the Virginia Line. In the Fall of the same year he served under his brother, George Garrison, as a minute man, scout and spy, and continued this service for the next five years. The pension application of his wife says that Leonard Garrison died March 10, 1836, which is borne out in Greene County O.C. Docket. pp. 88. His widow stated that she (Rebecca) had been born in April 1774, was 65 years old on June 10. 1839, and was married to Leonard on April 27, 1785, by John Minor, Justice of the Peace. (She was eleven years of age at the time.) In a sustaining affidavit, John Gapen stated that Rebecca had been raised at his home and he had attended the marraige. In an amended application of June 9, 1840, she gave a list of her children according to age, but had lost the Bible record of their births. This list corresponds with the Orphan Court record with one exception. She was still living in 1849. | GARRISON, JOHN LEONARD (I6318)

| 920 | From a Leap Family Book: JOHN WESLEY Leap 1735 -1845: "John was born on the river Rhine, near Mannheim Germany, He was one of fifteen children. In his early teens he began his education to become a Catholic priest. During his education he secretly read the Holy Bible which was a rare thing in that country. However, when he was 24, he renounced the Catholic faith and was conditionally exiled from his mother country, either having to be burned at the stake, die beneath the guillotine or leave the country. Traveling by night and hiding by day, the tall lanky youth left the country we know as Germany now to make his way though Holland, crossed the English Channel into England. In April 1757, in Plymouth Harbor he boarded a ship laden with glass and so was bound for America as a stowaway. When he was discovered hidden in one of the small boats on the Vessel, the captain immediately issued orders for Leap to be thrown overboard. Other officers objected so the angry captain allowed him to work his passage doing odd jobs. John arrived in Baltimore, Maryland in June 1757. John settled in what is now eastern Virginia and became acquainted with the family and parents of George Rogers Clark, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, James Monroe, and other prominent families. He became the foreman of a large tobacco plantation. He was a skilled musician and played the violin for some of the social gatherings. John joined the American Army in September 1775 as a private in the 4th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia, and later was made a Quartermaster General under General George Washington. He spent the winter with Washington at Valley Forge and was one of the parties that crossed the Delaware. Able to speak seven Languages, it was Leap, who on Christmas Eve, "tipped" the general regarding the Hessians at Germantown, New Jersey, for he knew their customs and knew they would spend Christmas Eve drinking and dancing. Washington acted on this advice and swooping down on them, captured that position and many prisoners. John served in companies under Captain John Jameson and Captain Arch McIlroy and was given his honorable discharge at Morristown, New Jersey at the end of the war. During his service, John was at the siege of Boston and witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. John was fond of telling the story that while in the Army he headed a detail, which brought back a stack of hay from an Old Dutch farmer. Finding six big rounds of cheese in the hay where they had been left to ripen, the soldiers took the booty back to camp where their comrades quickly devoured it. The next morning the irate Dutchman made complaints to Washington, who ordered Leap to pay for the cheese. In 1768, John married Margaret Crow and moved to Mannheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1775, the family was living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. After the death of his first wife in 1799, John and his children moved to Lancaster County where he married a French lady, Sarah Deleow. Soon after, his new wife and children moved to Greene County. In 1808 he went to Indiana to prepare a place for his family to settle in what is now known as Switzerland county, Indian. In about 1816 John Leap Sr. moved with his second wife and younger children to the new land. In 1832 the family moved again to Boone County, Indiana to live on a farm near Fayette. The older children of John Wesley Leap moved to Virginia. Gabriel and John Wesley II reached Monongalia County just after 1810 and are listed on the 1820 census there. By 1840, part of Monongalia County became Tyler County, and by 1846 part of Tyler County became Wetzel, Wood and Wirt Counties. Both Brothers and their children are listed in the 1840 and 1850 census. Discipline had been severe in his father's household, and John Leap would make no changes for the freer life in his new country. In 1812, in Moongalia County, Virginia, his son, Gabriel Leap, went to court to gain gentler treatment for the children. John was always close to George Rogers Clark and as a settler in southern Indiana, he makes two or three trips down the river by horseback to visit his old friend. On his 100th birthday, his wife found him lying in the garden between two rows of cabbages shouting "Oh Mother, I was never so happy in my life. I want to be baptized in the Baptist Church right now." So insistent were his demands that a messenger was dispatched and the Reverend David Keaney came by horseback to baptize John in the little stream of White Lick almost within a stone's throw of the place where his remains now peacefully repose. The next year, John walked the twenty miles to the meeting of the General Assembly at Indianapolis to address them on a subject in which he was interested. Later he made the same trip several times to meetings of old soldiers, again on foot. John Leap was 110 years, 5 months and 1 day old when he died on 16 September 1845. (Another source says he was 112 years old at his death.) On 4 July 1898 the citizens of Boone County erected a large gray granite marker to the memory of John Wesley Leap."

| 926 | From Memorial Biographical Record and illustrated Compendium of Biography Chicago: Geo. A. Ogle & Co. Publisher, Engravers and Book Manufacturers, 1899. W.W. Maxwell-Among the active and enterprising farmers and stock raisers of Hackberry precinct, Polk county, the gentleman whose name stands at the head of this sketch holds a prominent place. His home is on the southeast quarter of section14, township 13, range 1, and he has one hundred and sixty acres, all but ten of which are under excellent cultivation, and well improved with god and substantial buildings, which stand as monuments to his thrift and industry. Mr. Maxwell, was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, February 10, 1834, and is a son of Benjamin and Jane (McCormick) Maxwell, natives of Virginia[Penn. for Benjamin per D.P. Maxwell,Jr.,M.D. 1997] and Pennsylvania, respectively. The paternal grandfather, Henry Maxwell, was a native of Ireland[but 1850 census Carroll Co.,Indiana shows birth place as Penn. per D.P. Maxwell,Jr.,M.D. 1997], and settled in Pennsylvania on coming to the new world with his father[suspect Thomas Maxwell hisband of Ann Blackmar yet to be proven 26Jan1998 per DPMJr.], who took up arms against the mother country on the Revolutionary War. Out subject's maternal grandfather, William McCormick, was born in Scotland[Virginia DPMJr. 1997], and at an early age crossed the Atlantic and took up his residence in Virginia. The parents of our subject were married in Montgomery county, Ohio, and in 1834, emigrated to Indiana, becoming pioneer settlers of Carroll county, where the father cleared and improved a farm, but in 1850 moved to Jefferson county, Iowa, and again opened up a new farm on what was then the frontier. There he died in 1884 and his wife in 1882, honored and respected by all who knew them. prompted by a love of country he enlisted in October, 1861, at the age of sixty years, in Company F. Third Iowa Calvary, and served for one year. By his horse falling one of his wrists were broken, and he was honorably discharged at the end of that time. In his family were fourteen children, nine of whom reached years of maturity, namely: John, now deceased; George, who went to Oregon in 1850, and was a Major in an Indian War, and also governor[served in the Legislature per DPMJr. 1997] of Washington territory; W.W., the subject of this sketch; Abner, now dead, who was also a member of the Third Iowa Calvary during the Civil War; Mrs. Elizabeth Root, a resident of Jefferson county, Iowa; Mrs. Isabel Frazee, who lives near Thayer, Nebraska; Harvey, a resident of Jefferson county, Iowa, who was a soldier in the Thirteenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and was never off duty except six days during his entire service; Isaac, who also lives in Jefferson county, Iowa; and James, who was drowned in Iowa. During his infancy W. W. Maxwell was taken by his parents to their new home in Carroll county, Indiana, and was fifteen years of age when he accompanied them on their removal to Jefferson county, Iowa. He received a common-school education and began life for himself at the age of eighteen years, working out by the month for four years. He then engaged in farming on his own account in Iowa until August, 1861, when he laid aside all personal interests and enlisted in Company F., Third Iowa Volunteer Calvary, as wagoner. He was sent to St. Louis on a scouting expedition of ten days, but never got back to his regiment for over two years. By way of Jefferson City, he went to Mexico, Bonneville and Fulton, Mo., where he arrived December 25, 1861. Later he was again at Mexico and Paris, Missouri, and then back again to Mexico, where he responded to a call for one hundred men to go to Camp Jackson, St. Louis. From there he went to Rolla, Missouri, and then to Lebanon, and was sent to Houston, where General Warren was stationed. He was in the engagement's against Price and Marmaduke at Hartsville, and in December started for Little Rock, Arkansas, but on reaching Pleasant Plains was ordered back to Pilot Knob, where he remained until going to Helena, Arkansas. After the rebels were driven from that place he returned to Pilot Knob, and July 1, 1863, started for Little Rock with General Davidson's command, which met General Steele's forces near Brownsville, where an engagement was brought on. The Third Iowa Calvary were the first Union soldiers to enter Little Rock, and after a short time spent there were ordered to Lebanon, Arkansas, where they were engaged in scouting, etc. There Mr. Maxwell re-enlisted with seven hundred and seven of the regiment, and was granted a thirty days' furlough. He was sent to Memphis, Tennessee, was in the fight at Guntown, and also at Memphis during Forrest's raid. The regiment was re-united at Benton, Arkansas. Our subject remained at Memphis until December, 1864, when he was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, and was later sent to the hospital at Keokuk, Iowa. He was mustered out with his regiment and paid off at Davenport, Iowa, in August, 1865, returning home with an honorable war record, of which he may be justly proud. After farming for one year in Jefferson county, Mr. Maxwell removed to Keokuk County, Iowa, where he was similarly employed for four years, and then came to Polk County, Nebraska, taking up his residence upon his present homestead May 1, 1870. While he and his wife were erecting their sod house they spent the nights in a dug-out belonging to Colonel Roberts. They had no neighbors; there had been no roads laid out, and they had to go to Lincoln to do their marketing, but notwithstanding the inconveniences and hardships, their pioneer life was a happy one. With the exception of two years spent in the hotel business in Rising City, Mr. Maxwell has given his entire time and attention to the improvement and cultivation of his farm, which is now one of the best in the locality. While home on a veteran furlough, Mr. Maxwell was married February 18, 1864, to Miss Rebecca Sunderland, who was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, a daughter of William and Matilda (Klechner) Sunderland, natives of Maryland and Ohio, respectively. In 1851 her parents emigrated to Iowa, where the father died in 1851, but the mother is still living. Their children were Mrs. Maxwell; John, who died in service of his country during the Rebellion, being a member of the Forty-fifth Iowa Infantry; Alvin; Mrs. Martha Abraham; Joseph; Harry; and William. Of the ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, six are living: Pearl, now the wife of Richard Marsden, by whom she has three children, Ruby Verne, Willie and an infant; Ida, wife of Perry Pogue, by whom she has three children, Ethel, Fay and Harry; Hayes; Ellsworth; and Alvin. The parents are both faithful members of the United Brethren church of their township, in which Mr. Maxwell is serving as trustee and treasurer of the board. He is one of the most prominent members of B. F. Stephenson post, No. 132, G. A. R., of Gresham, in which he has filled all the offices, being the present commander. He has always been an ardent supporter of the Republican party, takes an active and influential part in local political affairs, and has frequently served as a delegate to the conventions of his party. For three years he was an efficient county commissioner of Polk county, and for many years has been a member of the school board, being the present moderator in school district No. 3,. Together with W. F. McClean and Levi Fuller, he organized the Old Settler's Society of Polk county, calling the first meeting August 18, 1885, at which time there were between five and six thousand people in attendance. | Maxwell, William Whistler (I919)

| 927 | From the Crowley Signal 11-4 -84 by Mary Alice Fontenot. The southwest Louisiana rice industry brought the first member of the Bier family to Crowwley, Charles J. Bier, native of New York, came here in 1900 from New Orleans, and became involved with the irrigation, milling, and marketing of rice. In 1900 Bier was manager of the People's Rice Mill; in 1901 he became a stockholder in Miller-Morris Canal Co., later bought stock in a brokerage firm. From an historical standpoint, however, Bier's chief distinction was his connection with the first rice packaging plant in the United States, In Crowley. John Green had machinery installed in the Crowley Rice Mill in 1902, and the business was chartered under the name of Columbia Rice Packing Co. Some of the giants in the business invested in the packing plant: A. Kaplan, C.J. Freeland, W.H. Hunter Jr., J.B. Foley, John Green, A.B. Allison and Dan Blum. The venture, however, was short-lived; the plant is believed to have ceased operations after 1904. Charles J. Bier was a veteran of the Civil War. There is no record of the year that the family moved to New Orleans, but it was there that Charles fell in love and married Mary Stephenson. Their son, Walter, and his wife, Elizabeth, were the parents of the eight children who took firm root in Crowley. Pioneers Walter's wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of Dr. W.D. White and Lucinda Lyons of Abbeville. The Lyons, one of Acadia's pioneer families, settled here during the Spanish Colonial era. Walter attended college in Bowling Green Ky., majoring in business. He and E.L. Savoie went together to the Kentucky college. Like his father, he was associated with the rice milling industry. He worked under his father at the People's mill, then at several mills in Crowley, in both the clean and rough rice departments. Later he began doing income tax work, as he was a certified public accountant. When Walter started work at the People's he and Dan Fietel, the office boy at the mill, became good friends, and Dan was godfather to the Bier's first child, Winnie, the late Mrs. Warren W. Millet. The other seven children of Walter and Elizabeth Bier were Viola, first married to Johnny Blessen, now to Nelson Jodon; Walter Jr., married to Dorothy Caillouet of Rayne; Clyde, married to Bertha Hoffpauir of Rayne; Willie Louo, Mrs. Linton Sarver; Clarence, married to Blanche "Pud" Capel; Wayne, married to Connie Suiter. A Record Viola, the only one left of the eight, "took root" at Crowley's First National Bank, and has set a record of sorts for the city's career women. She has ben at First National for a total of 52 years. Not only has she racked up that impressive work reord at one institution, but she also worked at two banks, also H.G. Cottam Wholesale, for Merrick Bernard, civil engineer; Thompson Implement, the Nick Broussard garage, and Grahm's. For the most part her work with the smaller establishments consisted in keeping small sets of books, which she began doing part-time while still in high school, then full time after graduation. And she also worked with her husband at the Blessen garage. Viola likes to remember when she played soft ball, a sport once very popular in Crowley. "I played on the team with Verna Sudswicher and Grace LeBland. We were serious ball players!" When Viola Bier and Johnny Blessen were married, L.M. Davies made up a play-on-words pun and had it printed in the Crowley Signal: "Beer has always been a curse, but today Bier is a Blessen!" Bevo The Second child in the family, Walter Jr., was known to all and sundry as "Bevo." When Walter was a kid Henry Duson would walk past the Bier residence and see Walter sitting on the fence. "Mister Henry" always greeted his young friend. | Bier, Charles John (I601)

| 929 | From the pension file of David C. Maples, an affidavit by Wm. R. King in 1893 tells the story how David C. Maples, Sr. lost his feet. It is quoted in the exact words of Wm. R. King..."said Maples was badly frostbitten in the winter 18__. Said Maples undertook to carry a man from his home to the top of the Alleghany or Smoky Mountains, and the snow was very deep, and the weather very cold. The snow was so deep that it was very difficult for him to travel. Said Maples went on, tried to comply with his promise in carrying the man across the mountain and the snow was so deep that his strength failed. He became so exhausted that he could not get back to his home or any place of shelter. He crawled into a hollow log and lay overnight where he was very much exposed and from said exposure he was badly frozen so much so that both of his feet had to be amputated. His feet were amputated on the 21st day of January 1877 caused from being frozen." He made and fitted artificial boots..strapped them to his legs and wore them till his death. This has been told by numerous descendants, and is a true mountain legend. I also saw a report that said that he had to amputate his own feet. | Maples, David Crockett Sr. (I5046)
