Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline From: "Jean Best" For: GKelley700@aol.com Hi, Gary From pgs539&540 of History of Medina Co., Ohio (Baskin & Battey - 1881), within a chapter on the settlement of Liverpool Twp: "Among those who came, prior to 1822, were HENRY MALLET and his sons, DANIEL, JOHN and HENRY, Jr., who settled in the southern part, on Mallet Creek;" Pg 634, Within a chapter on the settlement on Granger Twp are some writings from the memoirs prepared by Mr. WILLIAM COGGSWELL, who died in Granger on the 28th of February 1872. I think you might like the entire story, so will give it next: "In the summer of 1814, I was employed in the salt works at Liverpool, working there until December. When winter had fairly set in, I started for Granger, in company with DANIEL MALLET, intending to make hunting our main business for some weeks. We killed large quantities of small game. After some days, we found a long-legged bear in an alder swamp. When he discovered us, he commenced a retreat. As he passed near me, I fired, but without effect. The two dogs next attacked him, which he seized, and commenced hugging and biting. I reloaded and fired a second time, the ball disabling his foreleg, when he immediately let go of the dogs, and commenced biting his mained limb. After venting his spleen upon the mained limb, in despite of dogs, he came toward me in a very menacing manner. I retreated rapidly, but reloaded as I ran, and, when fully prepared, wheeled about and fired. The ball took lodgment in the bear's jaw, causing it to hang downward. At this juncture, MALLET came up to the chase from the opposite side of the swamp, and, taking deliberate aim, put a ball in his brain, and ended the race. The next day, we procured a horse, on which we carried to Liverpool the game we had shot during our hunting excursion." Pg 748 Within a chapter of biographical sketches on the citizens of Liverpool Twp, is one on IRA BURKE, who resided in Columbia Township, Lorain Co.: "Although never a resident of Medina Co., yis younger days were passed in it. Many a hunt has he taken with DAN MALLET, who figures such a prominent part in the history of Liverpool and York Townships. It was he who carried the chain when the latter was being surveyed into lots. Many a turkey, bear, wolf and deer has fallen lifeless from the effects of his sure flint-lock rifle. He and DAN MALLET ate man wild turkeys that were roasted over their camp-fires." FROM: Memorial to the Pioneer Woman of the Western Reserve: Pg 605 Within a chapter on Liverpool Twp., Medina Co. it indicates that Mrs. JOHN MALLET came to the Twp. No date is specifically mentioned, but appears to sometime around or soon after 1812. It's interesting that there are no early grave markers listed in my Medina Co. Tombstone book bearing the name of MALLET/MALLETT, and only one much later one. That one is in Woodlawn Cemetery, Wadsworth Twp: Pg 34 MALLETT, Nadine L., 1899 - 1968 Hope at least some of this will interest you, and maybe be of help Jean Best ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 07:44:46 -0400 From: "ldjdd" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <000101bf08dd$b4625100$36030ad0@Linda> Subject: Pioneer Marriages in Allen County-1843 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Taken from Lima Democratic News Apr 1843 By Rev.
