This is the General's Reply--- Now my Child. I have heard your Speech, you spoke first. but it is my Time to speak now. Where is my Wampum that you took away, with the Marks of Towns in it? This Wampum I do not know, which you have discharged me off the Land with; but you need not put yourself to the Trouble of Speaking, for I will not hear you; I am not afraid of Flies, or Mosquitos, for Indians are such as those; I tell you, down that River I will go, and will build upon it, according to my Command; if the River was backed up, I have Forces sufficient to burst it open, and tread under my Feet all that stand in Opposition, together with their Alliances; for my force is as the Sand upon the Sea Shore; Therefore, here is your Wampum, I flng it at you. Child, you talk foolish; you say this Land belongs to you, but there is not the Back of my Nail yours; I saw the Land sooner than you did, before the Shannoahs and you were at War; Lead was the Man that went down , and took Possession of that River; It is my Land, and I will have it, let who will stand up for, or say against it. I'll buy and sell with the Englaish (mocking). If People will be ruled by me, they expect Kindness, but not else. The Half King told me he enquired of the General after two Englishmen that were made Prisoners, and received this Answer. Child, You think it is a very great Hardship that I made Prisoners of those two People at Venango, don't concern yourself with it, we took and carried them to Canada, to get Intelligence of what the English were doing in Virginia. He informed me that they had built two Forts, one on Lake Erie, and another on French Creek, near a small Lake about 15 Miles asunder, and a large Wagogon Road Between; they are both built after the same Mode, but different in the Size; that on the Lake the Largest; he gave me a Plan of them, of his own drawing. The Indians enquired very particularly after their Brothers in Carolina Goal. They also asked what sort of a Boy it was that was taken from the South Branch; for they had, by some Indians, heard that a Party of French Indians had carried a white Boy by the Caseusea Town, Towards the Lakes. 26th. We met in Council at the Long-House about 9 o'Clock, where I spoke to them as fellows. Brothers, I have called you together in Council, by Order of your Brother the Governor of Virginia, to acquaint you that I am sent, with all possible Dispatch, to visit, and deliver a Letter to the French Commandant, of very great importance to your Brothers the English, and I dare say, to you their Friends and Allies. I was destined, brothers, by your brother, the governor, to call upon you, the sachems of the nations, to inform you of it, and to ask your advice and assistance to proceed the nearest and best road to the French. You see, brothers, I have gotten this far on my Journey. His Honor likewise desired me to apply to you for some of your young men to conduct and provide provisions for us on our way, and be a safeguard against those French Indians who have taken up the hatchet against us. I have spoken thus particularly to you, brothers, because his Homor, our governor, treats you as good friends and allies, and holds you in reat esteem. To confirm what I have said, I give you this string of Wampum. After they had considered for some time on the above discourse, the Half-King got up, and spoke; ' Now, my brother, in regard to what my brother, the governor, had desired of me. I return you this answer; ' I rely upn you as a brother ought to do, as you say we are brothers and one people. We shall put heart in hand and speak to our fathers, the French, concerning the speech they made to me, and you may depend that we will endeavor to be your guard. 'Brother, as you have asked my advice, I hope you will be ruled by it, and stay until I can provide a company to go with you. The French speech-belt is not here; I have to go for it to my Hunting-Cabin. Likewise, the people whom I have ordered in are not yet come, and cannot until the third night from this; until which time, brother, I beg you to stay. ' I intend to send a Guard of Mingoes, Shannoahs, and Delawares, that our brothers may see the love and loyalty we bear them.' As I had orders to make all possible Dispatch, and waiting here was very contrary to my inclination, I thanked him in the most suitable manner I could, and told him my business required the greatest expedition, and would not admit of that delay; He was not well pleased that I should offer to go before the Time he had appointed, and told me that he could not consent to our going without a Guard, for Fear some Accident shold befall us, and draw a Relexion upon him; besides, says he, this is a Matter of no small Moment, and must not be entered into without due Consideration; for now I intend to deliver up the French Speech-Belt, and make the Shannoahs and Delawares do the same; And accordingly he gave Orders to King Shingiss, who was present, to attend on Wednesday Night with the Wampum, and two Men of their Nation to be in Readiness to set out with next Morning. As I found it was impossible to get of without affronting them in the most egregious Manner, I consented to stay. I gave them back a String of Wampum that I met with at Frazier's, which they had sent with a Speech to his Honour the Governour, to inform him, that three Nations of French Indians, viz. Chippeways, Ottoways, and Orundacks, had taken up the Hatchet against the English, and desired them to repeat it over again, which they postponed doing till they met in full Council with the Shannoans and Delaware Chiefs. 27th. Runners were dispatched very early for the Shannoah Chiefs, the Half-King set out himself to fetch the French Speech-Belt from his Hunting-Cabbin. *********************************************** To be continued in part 4. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 08:53:03 -0500 From: "Maggie Stewart" > To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <00bc01bf5d04$58e1ab20$0300a8c0@local.net > Subject: Fw: Bio History-- now Your Ohio-- Thomas Arthur KelleyObit 1910 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: kathi kelley > To: > Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2000 1:06 AM Subject: Bio History-- now Your Ohio-- Thomas Arthur KelleyObit RETIRED BROKER IS DEAD. - --------------------------------------------------- Tom Kelley, Active in Public Affairs, Expires After Long Illness. -------------------------- Thomas Arthur Kelley, member of one of Cleveland's oldest families, died early yesterday morning, May 16th, 1910, in his home, 1806 E. 19th-st, after a long illness.

The name comes from an Indian word meaning "Raccoon." In the beginning the hills and heavy forests hindered the development of large cities and industry. So the county remained agricultural. At one time there was about sixty creameries producing handmade cheese. Chardon is the county seat. Geauga County is widely known for its production of maple syrup. At one time maple syrup was the leading industry in the county. Today other major industries include; machinery, rubber, printing and publishing, fabricated metal, food, carbon paper forms, electric meters, relay controls and dairy products.

MY TRIP TO AMERICA IN THE NEW LAND TO SEEK MY LUCK In the year 1869 my trip was as follows: Wednesday, the 6th of October, 1869, I went to Neustadt in the morning at 8 o'clock and by 11:00 o'clock I was already in Wissenburch. There I stayed and went by Bell and bought an A-Kort (I am not sure of the translation of this word) for 100 FE in Gold. At 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon I took the train from Wissenburch and Thursday at 5 o'clock in the morning I was already in Strassburg. 9 o'clock I left from there and a 12 o'clock I was already in Paris. There I ate lunch and also supper. This cost 7 Franks. A glass of beer 7 su or 12 Dri. One Frank has 7 Su. Thursday evening at 11 o'clock I went again to continue my trip to Havre and on Friday at 8 o'clock in the morning I finally arrived at (Le) Havre. Now good luck for my trip on the water. On Friday the 8th of October 1869 at afternoon, 2 o'clock I got onboard the ship for my trip on the water and for whatever else. As I got onto the ship everything was foreign and I stood there feeling entirely forsaken and strange. I thought back once again to my homeland and everybody there and I wondered about my happiness on my trip to America. The names were now called out on the ship's tickets. There I heard a name called out "Matheas Resch" and when I heard that name I thought I had to know him! That he was from Forst! When you heard your name called out, you had to go and get your straw sack and your mess kit. That I did right away and then I saw Matheas Resch and I went right away to him and said hello to him full of joy and then the two of us never left each other again! Now we are leaving for the trip to America. The ship has blown the whistle for the 2nd time and it is supposed to go at 3 in the afternoon. For the 3rd and last time the whistle blew and we hoped we were going to sail on. Then everybody screamed all at once as loud as they could, Adieu, Adieu for the last time you Germans, Goodnight! Now it's going forth and on the 10th of October we have spent our Sunday on the sea. Now we were on the voyage to Liverpool and on Tuesday, the 12th of October we had safely arrived in Liverpool. Wednesday the 13th of October we went on the big ship NEVADA, and now begins our final trip to America. But it was very bad. For 3 days long we had a big storm. Then on the 25th of October, Monday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived happily and luckily in New York and got out and stayed by Georg Edler Gast Haus zum Baierischen Hof, No. 30 Rector Street. Tuesday, 26th October, evening at 4 o'clock, I and Matheas Resch left for our trip to Sandusky. Thursday evening at 8 O'clock we are again fortunate and happily arrived at Joseph Lesser's. The length of the trip was 3 weeks and l day: on the water 15 days. - 1869, Heinrich Jordan, Sandusky, Ohio Saturday, the 30th of October I have already started to work in the Sanduskyer Wein Copani. (Sandusky Wine Company) Note: On December 22, 1869 Heinrich would celebrate his 25th birthday in Sandusky, Ohio. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #5 Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 12:06:22 -0500 From: "Maggie Stewart" > To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <068e01bf5d1f$5a5bd3c0$0300a8c0@local.net > Subject: Fw: Bible of Robert Byron Paxton Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: > To: > Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2000 9:17 PM Subject: New Franklin Co.
