Three Hundred and Thirty-Two Abstracts of Information
On Cox, Waters and Related Families
From Just About Everywhere
INTRODUCTION
WARNING: These pages should only be attempted if (1) you’re trapped in the house with nothing else to do for a long, long time, or (2) you have no life except for genealogical research. There is a lot of information below on the family names COCK, COX, WATERS, WATROUS, WATERHOUSE, FORD, DAY, STEVENS, HERRICK, SCHOOLING, McCULLY, TEEPLES, and many others. However, there is no easy way to get at it. You can browse down the list, or you can ask your “Find” button to search for specific names. That’s about it.
As you review the references, remember that I abstracted the information for my purposes, not yours. In other words, there might be information in a specific reference that would be of real interest to you, but it’s not included in my abstract because it wasn’t of interest to me. If something in an abstract strikes your fancy, by all means look up the original reference; there may be more data of use to you. If you can’t find the original, contact me; I might have access to it.
It should go without saying that I don’t guarantee any of the information below. For me, it was the raw data that I have analyzed, or am analyzing, elsewhere. Use it cautiously.

Pp. 261-264, The Teeple Family.
"Christopher Teeple was born in New Jersey. He came to this country in 1775, and remained only a short time. Leaving his son Isaac, the old gentleman removed to Canada, where he died. Isaac purchased a hundred acres of land, known now as the Teeple homestead, in Horseshoe, in Carroll township. He bought it from Massah or Masiah Case, who was the father of Leonard Case... Isaac had five brothers and two sisters, but none of them, excepting one sister, settled in the neighborhood. Isaac married Catherine Castner on the farm owned by the Castner heirs in Horseshoe, on the 22nd day of November, 1788. Isaac was born near New Brunswick, New Jersey, August 28, 1760. His wife was born in Greensburg, Pa., or near that place, January 24, 1772. She was a daughter of Peter and Mary Magdaline Castner."
"Isaac live from his first coming to this country on the Teeple farm, where he died December 7, 1828. His wife died January 9, 1849, and was buried with the remains of her husband in the Columbia graveyard, but in later years both remains were removed to the Monongahela cemetery. Isaac had a large family of girls and boys. Jemima was born October 26, 1790.

"The pioneer schools of Iowa afforded John W. Armstrong his youthful education... He continued his residence in Iowa until 1882, on November 4th of which year he arrived at Calvert, Nemaha County, Nebraska, in which little village of that period he served as postmaster and where he eventually engaged in the under-taking business. Mr. Armstrong has been established in the hardware business at Auburn, Nemaha County, fr many years... Prior to leaving Iowa Mr. Armstrong had there been united in marriage with Miss Julia Stevens, of Mount Pleasant, that state, she being the daughter of the late Daniel and Mary (Cox) Stevens... the children of Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong: Eva is the wife of Ford Skeen, of Auburn, and they have two children, Alberta and Julia, the former of whom graduated from the University of Nebraska and is now a popular teacher in the public schools of Omaha. William Lester, who was for one year a student in the University of Nebraska, is now associated with his father in the hardware business at Auburn. He married Miss Mabel Majors, a daughter of John Majors and a niece of Colonel Thomas Majors, and the elder son of this union is William Lester Jr., who is, in 1926, a student in Kemper Military Academy at Booneville, Missouri, the younger son Paul Victor, being in the junior high school of Auburn. Laura Elizabeth is the wife of Dr. Edward James, who is engaged in the practice of dentistry at Stella, Richardson County. Ernest F., youngest of the children of the subject of this sketch, was born in Auburn and here received an early education by attending the public schools. In 1912 he graduated from the law department of the University of Nebraska, and his reception of the degree of Bachelor of Laws was forthwith followed by his admission to the bar of his native state. He is now one of the leading members of the bar of Nemaha County and in addition to being established in the practice of his profession at Auburn, the county seat, he has served continuously as county attorney since 1914, his present term expiring in January, 1927. He married Miss Grace Kidwell, and they have two children: Edward J. and Eugenia.
John W. Armstrong... represented the county in the Nebraska Legislature [note: as a Republican] in 1898, 1900, 1907, and 1921."

19. Anonymous. 1825. Birth records of the Society of Friends, Rochester, New York. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymonroe/vr/friends.htm.
"The first meeting of the Society of Friends (also known as the Quakers) was held by Isaac and Aldrich Colvin in 1817. Meetings were held in the Colvin home for the first few years. Permission was granted to hold 'preparative meetings' in Rochester on the 18th day of the 10th month of 1821 (Quaker records are usually recorded in that style). Records still exist from that date. A building was finally constructed on the east side of Hughes St. (now N. Fitzhugh) in 1822. On the 25th day of the 11th month 1825 the Rochester Friends frmed a 'Monthly Meeting.' At that time, members were asked to list their birth date and also the birth dates of their children. Some members also added their birth place. The first part of that list is reproduced below. In 1828 the Rochester Friends split into two factions; Hicksite and Orthodox. The archives at the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College has the Hicksite records through 1896 and the Orthodox records through 1901."

Obituary
-On the evening of the 19th of March 1864, Mr. William Waters, closed his eyes upon the bright scenes of this life, to awaken no more upon this side of the grave; that so coldly awaits the comeing of all the living. He was one of those hardy and adventurous Pioneers who made the first opening in the vast wilderness that then bordered the shores of Lake Ontario; but is now the abode of thousands of happy denizens who have no realizing sense of the privations, sufferings, toil, and self denials, of those brave men and women, who so valiantly laid the foundations of their prosperity and happiness. The subject of this notice was born in Yorkshire, England; and imigrated to America in 1804, and adjourned for a season in Geneva, Ontario Co., N.Y. In 1806 he came to the town of Williamson, and wending his way through the unbroken forest, till he at length found a spot suitable for a residence for one of his indomitable resolution: purchased a lot and settled on the wild shore of the lake, where he built a log cabin, and commenced the life of an independent farmer; which he pursued successfully till competency and old age invited him to retire from the cares of business. Though an alien by birth, he was an American at heart, and supported with becoming zeal and firmness the Republican instutions of his adopted country.
He was highly respected, held several important offices in the town; reared a large family most of whom are living, respected and esteemed; and died at the advanced age of 84 years.

NOTE: I have recorded this because it is possible that this is the daughter of William W. COX. She is the correct age, and not far from where she was living in Douglas County. I have no other reason to believe it is her, however.

p. 241 - James Harvey DAY, residing on section 35, Marion Township, was born in New London, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1855. His father, Ransom Day, is a native of Logan County, Ohio, and his mother, Rachel (Cox) Day, is a native of Canada. They emigrated to Henry County about 1848, settling in New London, where he was engaged in carpenter work, which trade he had learned as a young man and still follows. When James was but an infant his parents removed to the city of Des Moines, where they resided for two years, then going to Augusta, Des Moines County, they made that place their home until 1869, when they removed to Marshall.
When a lad of fourteen years, James Day went to Mt. Pleasant, where he was employed in a brickyard as one of the burners, working in that yard until 1874, and at last had charge of a kiln. Going to Fairfield, he worked in that city during the summer of 1874 as foreman of a brickyard. Returning to Mt. Pleasant, he was again engaged in the old brickyard, working until 1878, when he went to Wilber, Neb., where he worked at his trade for a short time, but soon returned to Mt. Pleasant. In 1879 Mr. Day decided to go to Topeka, Kan., and in that city worked one winter at the carpenter trade, and the next spring began track work on the Santa Fe Railroad. He was then employed by the railroad company as bridge carpenter, continuing in their employ for nearly two years, and then returned again to Mt. Pleasant. He engaged to work with the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northern Railroad, but only remained with them for two months. Going to Ketcham's, a place four miles west of Mt. Pleasant, he was engaged as Superintendent of the brickyard, being in this employ for a year, during which time he went to Missouri and made a kiln of brick. Returning to Mt. Pleasant, he again took charge of the old brickyard, manufacturing brick for the asylum. He made two and a half millions of brick in three years. In the spring of 1887 Mr. Day purchased seventeen acres of land and a neat cottage on section 35 of Marion Township, and also the brickyard formerly operated by Daniel Stephens. Upon this farm he moved, and continues to carry on brickmaking. This first year he has manufactured four hundred thousand bricks. He intends making stock brick for fronts and fine walls, and will also take contracts for supplying customers with all kinds of brick. Mr. Day is a thorough workman, and understands his profession perfectly, and of the young, enterprising business men none rank higher than our subject.
Mr. Day was united in marriage, in 1873, with Miss Elizabeth Edwards, who is a native of Henry County, and a daughter of Hiram Edwards. Nine children have graced the union of this worthy couple: Morris R.; Eddie, deceased; Mattie; Belle, who died in infancy; Leander, Bessie, Bertha and Richard. Mr. Day holds the political views of the Republican party, while socially he is a member of the I.O.O.F.
Within the pages of this volume will be found a fine engraving of the brickyard spoken of above and belonging to Mr. Day.

Albert GEE born 29 July 1829
William GEE, a native of Massachusetts, was one of the first settlers of Geauga County. He married Polly POMEROY in Massachusetts before coming to Ohio. He lived in Geauga County until 1845, when he moved his family to Cascade, Iowa. He was there 8 to 10 years then moved to South Fork Township, Jackson County, Iowa. He lived there until "after the war" (Civil War), then moved to live with their eldest son in Indiana. In 1872, on a visit to another son in Grant County, Wisconsin, he took sick and died there. His wife died at the home of their son Gilbert GEE in Warrick County, Indiana 3 December 1877. They had nine children: Gilbert GEE, Ebenezer GEE, Olive GEE, Mary GEE, Clarinda GEE, William GEE, Lucinda GEE, Philander GEE, and Albert GEE.
Albert GEE was born 29 July 1829 Thompson Township, Geauga County, Ohio. When he was 16 years old, the family moved to Iowa. He remained with the family until he was 21 [ca 1850], then went to work in the coal mines at Peoria, Illinois. [NOTE: The authors' timing does not fit in this section of the paper, but it looks from the rest of the text that he came back to Iowa about 1855, rather than spending 9 years in Illinois.] He married 24 August 1855 at South Fork, Jackson County, Iowa, Eliza J. WATROUS, daughter of Walter WATROUS and Eunice MONT (MOTT?). She was born in Geneva, Ashtabula County, Ohio 4 February 1832, moved to Warrick County, Indiana in 1840, and to Jackson County, Iowa in 1852. Her parents lived at South Fork until their deaths in February 1870 (Eunice) and February 1871 (Walter), except for two years they spent back in Indiana.
Albert and Eliza moved briefly to Austin, Mower County, Minnesota in 1857, but left because of "Indian troubles" and returned to South Fork, where they were living in 1889. They had five children:
1. Ida E. GEE married Eli EDWARDS of South Fork Township.
2. Flora GEE married Albert STREETS of Monmouth Township, Jackson County, Iowa
3. Anna D. GEE married Scott BOWEN of South Fork
4. Belle married Eli EDWARDS of Monmouth, a cousin of Ida's husband Eli EDWARDS
5. Fred GEE (adopted), 11 years old ca 1889.

Runaway Accident: "Lou Gordon and family started on their return to Siskiyou county last Friday [4 Sept 1896], and when about a mile from the toll house, on the Palmer road, one of the horses became frightened and unmanageable, and the team started at a lively gait down the grade. The stumbling of one of the horses brought the team to a sudden halt, which resulted in the wagon turning over, and every body being thrown in a heap. Mrs. Gordon received some bruises about the eye and her right arm was badly sprained, and Miss Belle Herrick, who was one of the party, was caught under the wagon and her left knee severely bruised, but neither was seriously injured. The others escaped without a scratch. It was a lucky escape all around, for Lou says he was thrown sixty feet, and it is a miracle that he was not injured. He brought the folks back and will take a new start in a few days, but he says it will not be on a Friday."

156. Anonymous. 1906. Some Reminiscences of David McCully.
Details of 1849 California trip, published probably in a Salem, Oregon, newspaper
-Left from New London, IA, with about 65 men and 23 ox teams.
-Crossed the Missouri River at St. Joseph 20 Apr 1849.
-At Fort Laramie, a man lost all his money ($800), and was so frustrated that he tried to take his wagon to return home. The ensuing fracas with his two partners left him with a bullet in his chest. He recovered.
-The party split about two-thirds of the way across the plains, the New London group wanting to move faster. They reached San Francisco with no problems except loss of one head of cattle to Indians. Those that came later lost a lot of stock to Indians and had other troubles.
-A man called "Stump" wouldn't stand watch, so they wouldn't let him camp with the main train. He had all but two of his oxen stolen by Indians, but he converted his wagon to a cart and got to CA just fine with the 2 oxen.
-They discovered a rich gold strike on the Cosumnes River 7 Aug 1849. David and Asa also tried Fremont's old diggings at Mariposa, but Cosumnes was much richer.
-David and Asa had come well prepared from Iowa, and had surpluses to sell to the miners. When they ran out, they went to Sacramento and bought two wagonloads of flour at $8/100 lbs, sold it at $10/50 lbs; went back and bought two more loads at $20/100 lbs, sold it at $25/50 lb. Socks bought in IA for 25 cents sold for $2 pair, and a used cookstove bought in IA for $20 brought $50 in CA. They sold their oxen for $150/pr and their wagons for $150 each.
-Their partner [J.?] Kelley got tired of the mines, went to Sacramento to pursue blacksmithing.
-First Cosumnes claim each person made $8/day for the first three days, then $16/day for the next week.
-Two people who had been mining with David and Asa [John and William Waters?] for half-interests made another strike that turned out to be very rich [Big Bar?] - invited the McCullys to come in with them. They made $1 out of the very first pan of dirt, 10 1/2 oz. in 3 hrs work - later sold in New Orleans for $17.25/oz., or $180 for 3 hrs work. They averaged about $50/day while they were there. The original two parties sold out to them and moved on, but the really rich strike had played out.
-In 3 months, David and Asa each made $5000.
-About 1 Nov 1849, 7 people started back for New London via Panama - 51 days from San Francisco to Panama on a sailing ship (cost $125), then steamer to New Orleans; sold their gold dust; up the Mississippi to St. Louis, then by stage to Burlington, IA arriving Feb 1850; took 3 1/2 months to get home, cost $220.
-People mentioned as being on the trip: David and Asa, J. L. Starkey, Amos Starkey, William Deardorff (living in Umpqua Valley in 1906), Mr. Kelley, "Stump", and Mr. Ikenberg (captain of the train).

OH 2 Dec 1829; married Margaret Cannon fall 1856, had a son and 2 daughters; lived first in Harrisburg, OR, then to Independence, OR, for two years where he engaged in merchandising. Then lived in Salem a number of years. In 1877 came to Brownsville where he and John Waters operated the flouring mill. In 1883 went to Joseph, OR, and ran their first flouring mill. The mill burned, and he returned to Brownsville.
He had long suffered following a paralytic stroke, but the immediate cause of death was pneumonia.
160. Anonymous. 1909. Robert Moore. Brownsville Times (Brownsville, Oregon), 8 Jan 1909:
The death of another pioneer occurred at his home in Smith River, Del Norte County, California, on December 17, 1908. Robert Moore was born in Tennessee February 10, 1817 - over 92 years ago. He went to Missouri with his parents during the early settlement of that state, afterwards marrying Miss Malinda Scrivner.
To this union seven children were born, two of whom died while quite young. Deceased was farming in Missouri when what was in those days called "The Oregon Fever" took hold of him, and in the spring of 1852 he began buying oxen and preparing to cross the plains. Mrs. Moore having one brother in Oregon was anxious to go. Her mother and one brother accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Moore, but on what was known as Big Dry Sandy Mrs. Moore was buried, having died from Cholera, which had attacked the emigrant train, causing the death of seven persons in three days. Mr. Moore also lost a son about 3 years old.
After the death of his wife and son Mr. Moore, who was captain of the train, had his hands full looking after his four small children and his aged mother-in-law, besides his many other duties, but he finally landed in Linn County, three or four miles east of Harrisburg.
During the first winter in Oregon Mr. Moore worked for James McHargue, making fence rails, to support his family, in the meantime taking up a piece of government land. As there was no lumber in those days he built a log house. In 1856 Mr. Moore married Lucinda McDonald, to which union one child was born. Becoming dissatisfied with Oregon he sold his donation land claim in the fall of 1856 and with his family started to Arizona and California, but on the way the infant child was taken sick and they stopped at Van Noyes' (Vannoy) Ferry, where the child died. It then being too late to cross the Siskiyou Mountains he bought a ranch about three miles east of where Grants Pass is now located.
The next spring he sold out and moved to Curry County, Oregon, where he bought a farm bounded on the west by the great Pacific Ocean. He improved this place by plowing and seeding and building a fine house for that county. The house was burned down and he rebuilt it. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Moore while residing in Curry County.
He was elected justice of the peace which office he held several years. Soon after he was elected county judge, serving the people for two terms. His wife deserted him and went to Seattle, taking two of the children with her. He then sold his property and moved to Del Norte County, California, where he bought another farm. Here he was married to Mrs. Jane Yarborough, who survives him; also the following children.
James M. Moore of Curry County, Oregon; Silas A. Moore of Smith River, California; Horace G. Moore of Del Norte County, California; and J. W. and John B. Moore of this city (Brownsville, Oregon). The daughter who went to Seattle has not been heard from for many years. The son was killed by a live wire while employed by an electric company. Deceased is also survived by 31 grandchildren and 47 great grandchildren.
Deceased was almost helpless for two years before his death. While residing in Linn County he was an active church member, joining the old school Baptist Church in Missouri. The remains were laid to rest on December 19, mourned by the above children and two sisters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. Ellen Waters of this city (Brownsville, Oregon); Mrs. Ann Curtis of Harrisburg, Oregon and Seth Moore of Crook County, Oregon.

Passes to the Great Beyond
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth. All flesh is as grass and we know
not what a day may bring forth. Tears quickly crowd upon the heels of
laughter; and the clouds of sorrow suddenly obliterate the sunlight of
rejoicing.
Where but a few hours before there chimed the wedding bells, now sounds the
low, sad requiem; and though well known is the fact of the uncertainity of
life, none the less startling was the announcement Tuesday morning of the
sudden death of Mrs. A.C. Herrick a long time resident of Big Valley and
esteemed by the many who knew her.
There is a saying that home is where the heart is. ‘Tis true; and the heart
of this mother was in her home; and there she did faithfully and well her
part and her children rise up and call her blessed. “She hath done what she
could; and this that she hath done shall be spoken of as a memorial for
her.”
The maiden name of the deceased was Martha Gordon, and was married to the
surviving husband February 22, 1879, and at the time of her death was aged
49 years and 12 days.
Seven children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, being Mrs.
Belle Kennedy, Lash H., Mrs. Myrtle Smith Mrs. Mae Billings, Lou H. and two
young daughters Agatha and Melba.
Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and
the remains laid to rest in the Mountain View Cemetery.

Pages 434-435 - Oliver B. SCHOOLING
In 1859, when he was 11 years old, Oliver B. Schooling crossed the plains to California with his parents. The wagon train disbanded at Marysville, California. The family purchased a small farm on Horncut Creek, where they lived for about 5 years. They then purchased 1000 acres at Live Oak, California, where they raised sheep for 6 years. They sold out and moved to Lake County, California, where they farmed and raised stock. "They were there during the water and range troubles, when a dam, built on a watercourse by a company for the purpose of drowning out a number of contesting settlers, was destroyed by a band of four hundred angry farmers living around the lake. This occurred in 1870." This was part of the reason that, after 10 years in Lake County, the Schoolings sold out and moved to Modoc County, California. There were there during the Modoc Wars.
Oliver Schooling married Lillias Gordon, a native of Siskiyou County, California. Children:
Leonard C. SCHOOLING, deceased
Ervin P. SCHOOLING married Maggie SLAYTER, have three children
Robert E. SCHOOLING married Bell CHARTER, have five children
Eva SCHOOLING married Fred HAMBLET of Dunnigan, had Earl, Russell and Mabel
Albert SCHOOLING married Fannie FLOURNOY; lives in British Columbia
In 1892 Oliver Schooling moved from Modoc County to Tehama County, and then to Colusa County. In 1909 he came to Yolo County, where he has a farm of 160 acres about 8 miles southwest of Dunnigan, California. He rents adjacent land. He raises grain and hay, runs sheep, and specializes in raising turkeys. In 1910 and 1911 he sold $1000 worth of turkeys each year.

Big Valley Gazette, Bieber, California – 22 June 1922 1;2
Death of a Pioneer
The burning of the home of A.C. Herrick some years ago destroyed the family
records and in consequence the Gazette has been unable to obtain a full
account of his career the following facts being gathered from the memories
of the surviving relatives.
Mr. Herrick was born in the state of Massachusetts in 1839, and was 83
years of age at his death June 13 lacking three days his birthday being the
sixteenth of June.
At the age of two the family removed to the state of Iowa where they
resided for about twelve years. Mr. Herrick has lived in Big Valley for 44
years and it is known that he crossed the plains. Farther then this can not
at present be ascertained leaving an interm between the ages of 14 and 39
about which no information is obtainable.
He married Miss Martha Gordon. Mrs. Herrick is well remembered, her death
having occurred on November 11, 1911.
Mr. Herrick is survived by eight children: three sons, Alvin, Lew and
Elisha and five daughters, Mrs. Belle Kennedy, Mrs. Agatha Farmer, Mrs.
Myrtle Smith, Mrs. May Billings and Mrs. Melba Walker.
One brother Mr. Michael Herrick is living and resides at Puyallup,
Washington. It is not necessary for us to extol the character of Mr.
Herrick for all know his worth. During his long residence in Big Valley he
was engaged in farming and stock raising upon his ranch near Bieber. He
lived a quiet and unassuming life, an excellent neighbor, the truest of
friends, honest and upright in all of his dealings even to a fault. Nearly
all of his old friends and associates died before him though there are some
among us who knew him when he was still in this vigor of middle life none of
whom but saddened by his death.

"It is said of Waters that he had purchased thousands of three or four-day old newspapers just to help some newsboy dispose of his wares."
Recently purchased Western International League baseball franchise for Salem, and constructed $60,000 baseball plant, which opened last spring. All youngsters "who complied with certain conditions" (not stated) were admitted free. "An entire bleacher was set aside for these children, known as the 'Knothole club'." The League reportedly balked at the free admissions, so Waters offered to pay the way for any youngster who came. "I don't give a damn if the club never makes a cent. If the people like the club that's all I care."
48 years previously, he and Doug Minto had organized a Salem baseball club. Waters claimed that he and Minto had lost $1500 on the venture in the first season.

"George E. Waters is probably the only baseball fan who keeps score on the spectators. Owner of the Salem, Ore., Senators, he sets aside a thousand free bleacher seats for the city's school kids. But before they can get in, they must produce statements by their teachers and parents that they are scoring satisfactorily at school and at home. Otherwise, they pay or watch the game through a knothole. A retired tobacco merchant and lifelong fan, Waters recently spent $60,000 to build a modern baseball stadium seating 9,000 people, to celebrate his team's first year in the Western International League. A nice touch is vertical-grained seats, designed to minimize besplintered posteriors. And to ensure good ball teams for years to come he imported an ex-pitcher for the big leagues to train the local talent. Mr. and Mrs. Waters have no children, but they say one thousand cheering kids are a pretty good substitute."

From Marian Cox: “My husband's Cox family were from Van Buren Co., Ia which is next door to Henry Co. Before that (ca 1820), they were in Jefferson Co, Indiana. We know nothing about before then. I don't think the Henry Co. Coxes were related to the Van Buren Coxes, but of course I could be wrong. We only know of two: Lorenzo Dow Cox b. 1817 and his brother Randolph Cox b.1821 Jefferson Co., Ind. There surely were other siblings. Their father Jesse Cox, was in the Battle of Tippecanoe. This would have been ca 1811. No one knows yet what happened to Jesse except they think he went off to war and didn't come back.

From: William G. Cutler, History of the State of Kansas. Part 12, Labette County.
JULIUS S. WATERS, editor of the Oswego Daily and Weekly Independent, published at Oswego, Kansas. Was born in Warrick County, Ind. March 25, 1838. The country was new at this time, and young Julius had arrived at the age of eleven before he had seen a schoolhouse, and not until the removal of the family to Henry County, Iowa, in 1848, did he enjoy the advantages of the common schools. His mother died when he was but fifteen years of age, by which the family was broken up, and at this early age, with little education and no means, he was cast upon his own resources. For a time he was employed as a farm hand, at four dollars per month. In 1854, he began to learn the trade of harness and saddle making at Galesburg, Ill., at which he was employed about three years. His spare moments were occupied in study and reading, by which his mind underwent cultivation and became stored with useful knowledge. Returning to Indiana in 1857, the next fall, he was made Republican candidate for the Legislature. The county was heavily Democratic and he was defeated in the election. In 1860, he assisted in the organization of his party in Spencer County, to which he had removed,
and was a member of the State Convention appointing delegates to the National Convention which met at Chicago Ill., and put Abraham Lincoln in nomination for the presidency, and was afterward actively engaged in the campaign. He was married in 1860, and continued a resident of Spencer County, Ind., until the death of his wife in 1863, at which time he removed to Nebraska City, Neb., and became engaged as local editor on thePress, a paper published by his brother, W. H. H. Waters, at that place. Removing to Southwest Missouri in 1865, and not being satisfied with the country, he at once came to Kansas, settling upon the Osage Ceded lands in Labette County, where he now owns a fine farm of five hundred acres, upon which he resides. Having studied law, he was admitted to practice when the county was organized, and in which he continued with gratifying success for some years. In the fall of 1869 he was elected to the office of County Attorney, and subsequently was twice elected to the same office. He established a newspaper called the Sentinel at Labette City, in the summer of 1871, which he ran about a year and sold out, and two years afterward became editor of the Oswego
Independent, upon which he is now engaged. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1880, and again in 1882, in which capacity he served with satisfaction to his constituents. He was commissioned a director of the State Penitentiary by Gov. St. John, in April, 1882, and still holds the position. He has been re-married and is the father of an interesting family. He is a man of considerable ability, and figures prominently in politics, and enjoys a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

The first store established in Salem, Oregon, was started in October 1847 by William Cox. Previously Oregon City was nearest store (70 miles away). The store was apparently a welcome addition, even though the settlers didn't buy too much at stores. On the Looney family's first visit to the store, they bought a variety of cloth and sewing supplies, paid $11.00 in cash, $10.00 in butter, and another $8.85 on credit.

He came first to Washington County and remained a year, went to Linn County in 1846 and took up land 4 1/2 miles north of Peoria. His nearest neighbor was Anderson Cox, 12 miles distant. McCoy had to travel the 100 miles to Oregon City for flour and supplies. He was married to Sarah Junkin of Ohio in November, 1835, and was the father of numerous children. He died at Oakville, April 24, 1889."

P.12 - "Brothers Joseph and Isaac [COX] came [to Wheatland, NY] in 1804; father Samuel and his family in 1805 or 1806. Joseph located on the west side of the River Road between Oatka Creek and Quaker Road; Isaac on the east side of the River Road opposite his brother. They built a rude log house for their parents and five younger children on the site where Delos Boutwell now lives. Joseph, whose first wife was Dorothy Farwell and second wife was Chloe Agdrich, had six sons and four daughters. Isaac married Anna Shadbolt and had four sons and five daughters. Samuel purchased in 1809 lands on the east and west sides of the River Road which were later included in his son's lands. The closest Cox family descendants who reside in Wheatland are: Barbara Brown Gorton, John W.Brown, Dorothy Smart Paris and Walter J. Cushman, Jr."
On p. 12 there is a photo of a Crotch mahogany secretary that belonged to Isaac Cox, with Flow Blue Staffordshire dishes from the Cox family. It is now in the home of Florence A. Field.
P. 13 - "Joseph Cox was nineteen and Isaac was eighteen when they first arrived in Wheatland. They came in the late winter in the old fashioned long sleigh, turning the box up on edge at night and sleeping in it before the fire, which served secondarily to warm them but primarily to keep the wolves away.
"Bears were still common in the first decade of the nineteenth century and one seized a pig from the pen of Isaac and made off, but Isaac pursued and shot it without puncturing the skin, they being face to face at the critical moment and the shot entering the bear's mouth. The Cox family emigrated from Stillwater, Saratoga County, New York but were originally from Long Island and latterly from Dutchess County."

“One of the earliest important industries in Harrisburg was a large flouring mill one mile south of town; had the capacity of about 150 barrels of flour per day. The power to run it came from damming Mill Slough. "The owner of the mill in my day was 'Old Hiram Smith.' I believe that there was also a man named Briggs interestd in it at one time. Flour from the mill was hauled into Harrisburg and stored in warehouses to await the coming of the next river boat. John Waters was the miller there for a long time. Later, Waters removd to Brownsville with his son-in-law, Morelock, and they were operators of the flour mill there."

Samuel McCULLY went with Abner WATERS, Mary McCULLY WATERS, and William WATERS to southern Oregon. They had been going to Russian River, CA, but stopped in Josephine Co., OR, and built a log cabin and milk house on Louse Creek, sold butter at Galiceburg but lost $1,100 in the venture. They moved to Kerbyville, OR, where Samuel ran a road house for three years, then moved up Deer Creek with Abner three years, then returned to the Willamette Valley.

I have some very fine thoroughbred Light and Dark Brahma and Light and Dark Leghorn Chickens, and am prepared to supply eggs of either kind on short notice. Also Turkey eggs in limited quantity. For particulars and prices apply to or address FRANK W. WATERS, Salem, OR."
Frank Waters, son of W. H. H. WATERS, was 9 years old at the time, "the first importer of standard bred poultry to this section." He apparently did quite well with the business, remembering selling two roosters and a hen for $10.
The Waters home at that time was on Summer St. near Center St. Frank was Mayor of Salem 1905-1907, later was in the abstract business for a long time; currently (Oct 1931) working for his brother George E.WATERS in his wholesale tobacco business at 229 State Street, Salem.

P.1251, John M. WATERS. Spring 1849, with his brother and Edward Ford, joined a train of 22 wagons to CA; arrived Sacramento 7 Aug 1849; broke his leg on the way, which made it hard for him to do much mining, so he hired to drive a team between Hangtown (=Placerville) and Sacramento for two months; spent the winter at Mud Springs (=Eldorado), where brother William died; spring 1850, bought a team and went to Redding's Diggings; Jan 1853, took a ship from San Francisco to OR; stayed around Harrisburg until 1858, then went to Josephine Co. and farmed for a year; returned to Harrisburg where he and Jack Hall purchased an old mill; in 1862 Hall sold out to Asa McCULLY, and Asa and John kept operating the mill muntil 1877, when John sold out and moved to Brownsville, where he purchased an interest in the Brownsville flour mill. He joined with the Albany Woolen Mill Co., then in 1891 joined with a group planning to build a 200-barrel flour mill at Seattle, WA - venture was too great for their capital, and they closed out.

271. A. V. D. Honeyman. 1914. Notes on the Vosseller Family. Somerset County Historical Quarterly III
Jacob FUSLER,FUSSELLER/VOSSELLER, came from Germany prior to 1750, settled at Schoharie County, New York, then emigrated to New Jersey near Pluckemin. About 1751, he married Margaret TEEPLE, daughter of Lucas TEEPLE of Pluckemin.
Lucas TEEPLE died ca 1 Jan 1774. His will is dated 20 Aug 1764, with a codicil 16 Nov 1773, and probated 26 Jan 1774 (Trenton Wills, Book L, p. 85). In the main will he mentions as his heirs his eldest son John; his sons Christopher and Peter; his daughter Ursula, wife of John APPLEMAN; and "my son-in-law, Jacob Fusler." Also, a son-in-law John Meyer. "A possible inference from this will is that Margaret Teeple, Vosseller's wife, was deceased when the will was made."
"Teeple's codicil of 1773... states the interesting and unusual circumstance that Lucas Teeple had four grandchildren named 'Luke,' viz: sons of Christopher, Peter and John Teeple, and son of 'Jacob Fusler.'"

291. B. McKelvey. 1971. Flour milling at Rochester. Rochester History 33 (3):1-19.
Historical information on the William Waters-Rachel Cox family frequently notes that their ancestors (don't know which side) were involved in early flour milling at Rochester, Monroe Co., New York. This article gives detailed history of the earliest operations. It may be useful at some point, but right now I cannot tie any of the early names given in the article to any early names in either the Waters or Cox lines. The early names this author cites are Ebenezer Allan, Christopher Dugan, Josiah Fish, Charles Harford, Rochester, Fitzhugh, and Carroll.
The first mill was in 1789 (Allan), with more substantial activity in 1807, 1815 and 1817.
292. E. McMunn. 1923. Our friend - Fred Waters. Statesman? (Salem, OR), 22 Oct 1923:
Editorial on Salem resident Fred Ralph WATERS, who died Oct 1923 - "He could do many things, but I believe that his greatest interest was in writing, although he made little or no effort to commercialize the talent, giving freely without recompense. One of his stories, 'The Bakersfield Secret', appeared in a local paper several years ago, and was the best story I had ever read before that time or since. It was the sort of story the big magazines today are paying $800 for, and yet he gave it away, and modestly hid his authorship under the name 'Gray'. He also wrote many fine, snappy criticisms on the moving picture business, appearing in California magazines under the name 'Miller' or any name that occurred to him at the moment."

P. 164 - "...settlers began to multiply in the vicinity of Pluckamin... On the east side of the [Raritan] river, on part of the tract (Winder) that George Willocks sold to Daniel Axtell, lived George Teeple and his sons, George and Christopher. He emigrated from Germany as early as 1700, and his grandson William was recently living in Pluckamin at an advanced age. The records show George Teeple to have been living in the township in 1745, and his name and that of his son John also appear, in 1756, as subscribers to the building of St. Paul's Lutheran church. From a gravestone in the churchyard we learn that John married Margaret Castner on the tenth of January, 1756, and after living together for fifty-seven years they died within three hours of each other on the seventeenth of March, 1813, and were buried in the same grave."

Info from scrapbook by Stanard in Albany, OR, Public Library: In 1849, John Waters joined Mr. Ikenberry's Company which left 13 April from Henry Co., Iowa, for California via Platte River, forts Laramie and Hall, Humboldt Sink, and Carson River. They arrived in Hangtown (Placerville) 7 Aug 1849, then went to Mud Springs (El Dorado) where they built "the first house or cabin ever built in that vicinity". In the spring of 1850, John Waters went with 2 horses to meet his brother A. W. Waters, who had started that year (?) for California. They met on the Carson River and returned safely to Mud Springs.
John came to OR on the steamer "Oregon", arriving in Portland 1 Jan. 1853. He walked up the Willamette Valley. The river was in flood, and he reported seeing "a large hotel building drifting away with the flood". He went on to Harrisburg where his brother-in-law Asa McCully was living. He helped David McCully erect the first store building. Asa went east for merchandise, returning in 1853.
IN 1856 or 1857, John bought an interest in a grist mill near Harrisburg with Hiram Smith and others - the mill became one of the largest makers and shippers of flour in OR. He remained with the mill 19 years. In 1877 he moved to Brownsville and bought the old McHargue grist mill; ran it for several years, sold out in 1890, moved to Seattle, Washington to start a grist mill on Lake Washington; the venture failed, and he returned to Brownsville, OR, to live the rest of his life.

"In the spring of 1858 C. W. Sherfy initiated in Nebraska City the publication of a weekly paper to which he gave the name of People's Press. A few weeks later this pioneer newspaper plant and business were sold to L. L. Survey and Colonel O. H. Irish, and after the death of the former, Colonel Irish continued as editor and publisher until 1860, when the property and business were sold to J. E. La Masters and Alfred Mathias, who, in the following year, sold to and were succeeded by W. H. H. WATERS and Royal Buck, who changed the name of the publication to the Nebraska City Press and Herald. In 1862 Mr. Buck retired and Mr. Waters remained at the helm, he having dropped the name of Herald, and retained the title of Nebraska City Press. In 1863 was instituted the publication of a daily edition, and when this ambitious project proved a negative success, it was abandoned."

[In a handwritten note on this paper, it says that Clinton D. WATERS of Kinsman, OH (owner of the Abner Waters farm in 1932), when a boy went with his grandfather Abner WATERS (1782-1869) to visit some of Abner's cousins in Ashtabula Co., OH. This led the writer of the note to speculate that they might be the children of Benjamin WATERS, and that Benjamin might be the father of "our" William WATERS (m. Rachel COX). It would be a reach, as we know there were other families of WATERS/WATROUS in Ashtabula Co. by that time.]

A. J. Waters was seeking information on:
Nathan WATERHOUSE/WATERUS/WATERS married Esther MANN. They moved from New London, Connecticut to Leyden, Massachusetts, and between 1780 and 1800 had children Nathan WATERHOUSE, William WATERHOUSE, Daniel WATERHOUSE, Timothy WATERHOUSE, Luther WATERHOUSE, Mercy WATERHOUSE, Betsey WATERHOUSE, Sarah WATERHOUSE, and Abigail WATERHOUSE. Nathan Sr. had a brother named John WATERHOUSE>
328. M. E. J. Westensee. 1993. Walter Watrus/Watrous/Waters - concerning the known children of Walter and Hester Smith Watrus. genealogical report.
The following information was in a report in the Wayne Co., NY, county historian's office, prepared by Mrs. Emil J. Westensee, 2330 24-1/2 Street, Rock Island, IL 61201.
[1] Walter WATROUS - born probably about 1765 [from age of children, and the fact that he was 70-80 years old in the 1840 census], birthplace uncertain (in later years, his children thought MA, CT, and NY); he apparently was married twice, the marriage to his second wife Hester SMITH would likely have occurred about 1800.
Other background: In Seneca Co., NY in 1801, there was a Walter WATRUS who was on the list of electors. There was also a James WATRUS. This Walter allegedly had a daughter Elizabeth WATRUS (b. 1761) who married Eldad Kellogg in 1783. Elizabeth would have been more or less a contemporary of Walter WATROUS b. 1765.
According to a descendant, Walter WATROUS had 14 children. Only about nine names are known (counting suspected first family).
[2] William WATERS - b. 1795, m. Rachel COX - placed in this family mainly because of the obituary of Walter Jim WATROUS which names William WATERS of Warrick Co., IN, a neighbor of Walter, as a "half brother". Presumably he was a child of Walter Watrous' first wife.
[2] Mariah WATROUS b. 1799; m. Silas NASH in Williamson, Wayne Co. NY in 1815

In the Albany, Oregon, Public Library, there are two xerox copies of the scrapbooks of E. E. Stanard. They are photocopies of Stanard's original workbooks that were prepared (without any editing or explaining) by N. L. Williamson in 1981, and copied courtesy of State Savings and Loan Association. The few items for which a date can be determined are from the 1920s and 1930s. There are handwritten notes, typed notes, and copies of news articles, all interspersed with no explanation. Some info was probably copied from books, but some looks like it might be from unpublished sources [at least, I've never seen some of it in any publication].
Volume 1
P.18, JOHN M. WATERS - Born 21 Jan 1831 Ashtabula Co. OH, son of ______ and Rachel (COX) Waters, both of whom were born in NY. They moved to OH several years before John was born, moved in IN in 1838, then moved to Henry Co., IA, in 1847.
In 1849, John went with Mr. IKENBERRY's company to CA, leaving 13 Apr 1849. Their route took them up the Platte, past Forts Laramie and Hall, then via Humboldt Sink and the Carson River to "Hangtown" [Placerville,CA], arriving 7 Aug 1849. He went from there to Mud Springs [El Dorado], built the first house/cabin in that vicinity, and lived there through the winter of 1849-50.
While at Mud Springs, Indians ran off about 35 head of horses belonging to the miners, including those of John Waters and his partners. About 20 miners went after the horses, traded gunfire with them killing at least 3 Indians, and burning their village. They got all the horses back.
After he had built his cabin at Mud Springs in 1849, he took a wagon into Sacramento and purchased a load of flour, pickled pork, beans, dried fruit, etc. "One day two men came into his cabin to buy some flour offering him a dollar a pound for same. He did not wish to sell at any price fearing he might run out himself. As the mud was simply awful and the roads impassable for teams between there and Sacramento. These men said he had more supplies than any one man should have, so they just took possession of one bbl of flour, paying him 200 dollars, and he got along all right without the flour. He says he handled many a thousand bbls of flour since then and made less money on them."
In the spring of 1850, he took two horses and went to the Carson River to meet his brother Captain A. W. Waters, who was coming from IA. They returned safely to Mud Springs. In the fall of 1850, he went to the site of present-day Colusa, CA, and built one of the first houses in the vicinity (maybe the first). In 1852 he took the steamer OREGON north, arriving in Portland, OR, 1 Jan 1853. He went up the Willamette Valley on foot to Harrisburg, where his brother-in-law A.A.McCully was living. It was a major flood period, and theWillamette River above and below the falls at Oregon City was almost level. He saw a hotel floating down the river.
In Harrisburg, he helped David McCully build the first building in town (a store, later used as annex to a hotel), while Asa went east to buy merchandise. The goods were shipped around the Horn, and arrived in OR the fall of 1853.
John Waters married Ellen More in 1854. That same year he built what was probably the first brick kiln in Linn County. In 1856 or 1857 he, Hiram Smith and others bought a grist mill that became one of the largest makers and shippers of flour in OR. He remained with the mill for 19 years. In 1877 he moved to Brownsville, OR, and bought the McHargue grist mill. In 1890 he moved to Seattle to build a grist mill on Lake Washington. The venture failed, and he returned to Brownsville within a year or so, and lived there until he died.
Volume 2
P.33 more notes on John WATERS - married Ellen Moore in 1854; she died in 1917. John died in 1904. "Waters built the first house at H[arrisburg] and became half owner of the old flouring mill there. A brother-in-law, Asa A. McCully, bought an interest in 1862, and they ran it until 1877. Waters sold out and moved family to Brownsville, where he bought interest in mill. Changed from old buhr mill to roller process, capacity enlarged, quality and output increased."
They had seven children, 3 alive when Mrs. Waters died in 1917: Mrs. Mary J. Morelock of Gold Hill, OR; Mrs. Rachel Cartright of Emmett, ID; and John Waters of White Swan, WA.

William apparently served in the War of 1812 as a substitute for N.C. Handy, who was drafted but didn't serve. An application for bounty lands based on this service was written from Linn Co., OR 11 Jul 1857; the request was denied. He claimed to be a private in Capt. Durphey's company, Col. Howell's regiment; entered into service at Cananadagua, NY about 1 Mar 1813; honorably discharged 3 months later at Eleven Mile Creek, NY. Elsewhere in the article [but not included in letter] it says he served undser General Scott in the battles of Bridgewater/Lundy's Lane and Chippewa, near Niagara Falls, in 1813 and 1814.
William was in Genesse Co., NY in Sep 1822, in Ashtabula Co., Aug 1824; moved to Boonville, Warrick Co., IN, about 1838; about 1848, moved to Henry Co., IA; 1853 moved to OR, lived either with or near his dau Hannah McCully in Harrisburg from 1853 until his death in 1875 [INCORRECT]; died 9 Feb 1875 [in whatever town "Weekly Mercury" was published in], body was taken to Harrisburg, OR.

Nancy WATERS d. 1 Mar 1917 at her dau. Mary Morelock's home in Gold Hill, OR. She was a member of the Brownsville Baptist Church for about 35 years. After John died "about 13 years ago" [1903], she continued to live alone on Averill Street, Brownsville, only going to stay with her dau. a few months prior to her death.
In 1862 John sold [part of?] his interest in the Harrisbur flour mill to Asa McCully; they operated the mill together until 1877, when John sold out and moved to Brownsville, OR where he purchased an interest in another flouring mill. "Under the management of Mr. Waters the mill was changed from an old buhr mill to the roller process and the capacity greatly enlarged and the quality of the output greatly improved." He later sold out to the Brownsville Woolen Mills Co., which became identified with the Albany Woolen Mills.
In 1917 son John Hamilton WATERS was living in White Swan, WA, and dau. Rachel L. [Rachel A.?] CARTWRIGHT lived in Emmett, ID.
