Kelley Oct 9, 2001 *********************************************** Historical Collections of Ohio Know Your Ohio by Darlene E. Kelley Ohio's Frontier --Part 7 Western Reserve Article by S.L. Kelly Plain Dealer *********************************************** Ohio's Frontier -- Part 7 Western Reserve The members of the Connecticut Land Company were largely men with land sense, but one among them was an experienced land developer, Oliver Phelps. He had operated on a large scale in new England and on the Genesee in New York State. He was one of the largest single shareholder in the Connecticut Land Company and he believed in it. He believed in the existence of the excess land in the Reserve. So he and a handful of others including General Hull, the same Hull of the brilliant Revolutionary War record ( later to be dimmed by his surrender of Detroit in 1812 ), formed the Excess Company. The Excess Company offered the Connecticut Land Company, for a fixed price all land which might be found in the Reserve in excess of the three million acres and the Firelands. This proposal came before the three man executive committee of the board of directors and was accepted by them, as might be expected, with Oliver Phelps being on the approval committee. With the proposal accepted, and with the powerful real estate name of Phelps connected with it. Excess Company stock was in big demand. Pressure to cross the Indian line and explore the excess hit the surveyors, who were slowing down from sickness and disappointment. Fighting fever and hunger, they felt little loyaly to them in the east, who were in a hurry to know how much excess land they had bought. General Moses Cleaveland had held scrupulously to his promise to the Indians not to cross the Cuyahoga, but now his company wanted to push a survey west to the 120 mile limit in order to discover the shape of the shoreline and the amount of excess land they owned. Therefore, Augustus Porter, second in command of the survey pary, hastened his survey of the fourth range line from the 41st parallel to the lake, and then was excused from running the parallels to create the townships. He hurried to the stone marker at the northwest corner of Pennsylvannia and began his traverse at the lake front, planning to go all the way to the end of the 120 miles -to make an accurate shoreline map which to show the quantity of excess. As Porter and his crew began this trek west, other crews were suddenly becoming disturbed about the parallel deviation in their north south lines. They were not so worried about it as they had been before, cause they now had bigger worries. Men were sick so frequently that the surveyors could not have full field crews, some were dying. It was necessary to take men off the surveying crew to care for the sick. So those crews dragged themselves through the forest. Running line, which ordinarily took one day now took four. At this point the seldom chronicled executive duty of Moses Cleaveland came into play. He deployed his men with great care to replace the sick, and tryed to not overwork those who were able to drag themselves around. He tried to get medicine. He obtained assistance for overworked Dr. Sheppard, and he kept his eye on the calender to be sure to get the group out of the area before snowfall. The men who were running the horizontals consecutively from south to north now skipped a few and moved north to see how much actual convergence there was in the meridians, because of compass variations. To their surprise, they found the variations which were a matter of feet just 67 miles south on the south line had now grown to variations of a half mile and more. Some townships were only four and a half miles wide at the top while others were five and a half miles. This meant that some of the northern farms were going to be pie-shaped, and there would be work for attorneys for a hundred years to come. But the men were tired, and they continued the survey, leaving the slanting lines behind them. They were working as long as they could stay on their feet, and now were grumbling. Meanwhile, Augustus Porter pressed his traverse vigorously. He had reached the mouth of the Cuyahoga, and he was disappointed. He had positively established that there was a slashing southwest angle to the Lake Erie shore. There was no excess this far. But perhaps west of the Cuyahoga the shoreline would again sweep north. Cleaveland's agreement with the Five Nations Indians prescribed that surveyors would not cross the river. But Porter crossed the Cuyahoga, and pushed his line along the Lake shore heading for Sandusky Bay, to the point where his calculated westings told him he was due north of the west end of the 120 mile length of the Connecticut Western Reserve. He almost reached that end. His later report to the directors explained he was not able to run the west line completely, on account of the Indian title not being extinguished. But he explained that he came close enough that by a simple map exercise, he could calculate the acreage at 3,450,753 acres, including the Firelands which did not belong to the Connecticut Land Company. Instead of reporting an excess, he was therefore reporting a shortage. We can see the man trying to come at least back up to the starting point, like any businessman at the end of a bad quarter. He added that this figure did not include the islands of Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay,that was supposed to exceed the islands in quantity about 30,000 acres. Now word filtered back to the Excess Company and they refused to believe it. They stated " Why the errors in Porter's survey are too Massive! We already know the compasses are not agreeing by what's happening east of the Cuyahoga. They say the men are getting very careless from fatigue. they don't stretch the line tight, and in getting around the swamps, we hear they are just making the offsets by eye." The Excess Company now challenged the survey even before the report was made to them. They requested a mathemtics professor from Yale to be ready to audit the field notes of the surveyors. While irritation was setting in at home in Connecticut, out on the survey, outrage was setting in. These men had not signed on to write a piece of frontier history, they signed on only for wages. But the new land forced men to heroism and even death, as the ague fever continued to grow. They began to call this fever the Cuyahoga fever, acually it was a form of malaria and was carried airborn from the swamps and mosquito ridden grasses. It was thinning the ranks. It made the crews truculent. Cleaveland saw that he was not going to finish by snow fall, and that he would not be able to keep these men alive through the winter. He decided on expediency, he would settle and complete the survey on those six townships which were not to be parceled out among the stockholders but were reserved to the Connecticut Lad Company, which would sell them to raise funds to continue further surveying. While Porter continued his study of the lake shoreline, Pease, Spafford, and Stoddard were to run the short laterals in the northeast corner, while Holley's crew brought north more range lines. The men were eating rattlesnake, bear, muskrat, and rabbit. Cleaveland was trying to get the headquarters city survey complete. The men were trying to go home. So there came the day when 18 of them approached Cleaveland with an ultimatum, either more money or they would pull out for Connecticut. This tested Cleaveland's leadersip severely. He had no more allowable budget, but the Connecticut Land Company did have land to burn. Cleaveland therefore selected one township near the heart of the Western Reserve. He pointed to it on a map, and talked to the men about the hordes of immigrants who would follow to buy land, about the city which would grow at the mouth of the Cuyahoga, which " I believe will grow to nearly the size of Old Windham, Connecticut." He told the men that the Connecticut Land Company would grant in fee simple, one equal share in the township to each member of the crew who would agree to the following; 1 -- By 1797 ( the following year ) there must be 11 people resident in the township. 2 -- In 1798, they must settle 18 more families on it, each to clear five acres. 3 -- In 1799, there must be 12 more families, who must have eight acres in wheat. 4 -- In 1800, 41 families must be in the township. Forty one of the men signed these articles, seven abstained. The signers divided the township with survey lines, and being surveyors, they named the township in honor of the father of geometry. -- Euclid. *********************************************** to be continued in part 8 ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 02:20:04 -0400 From: "Maggie" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <01a201c15b8c$f29fea00$1400a8c0@local.net> Subject: Fw: Know Your Ohio -- Ohio's Frontier -- Part 8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darlene & Kathi kelley" To: Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 5:50 PM Subject: Know Your Ohio -- Ohio's Frontier -- Part 8 Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Darlene E.

Kelly Plain Dealer ********************************************** Ohio"s Frontier -- Part 8 Western Reserve The 41 proprietors of Euclid, then met to draw lots to see which of them would settle there according to contract in the years 1797, 1798, and 1799. None volunteered. The 11 who received the lots were; Seth Pease, who established a distinguished and useful family in the Reserve; Theodore Shepard, the physician; Amzi Atwater, assistant explorer, who lived until 1851 and the last survivor of the survey party; Elisha Ayer; Tim Dunham; Samuel Forbes; Samuel Hungerford; Wareham Shepard, packman and best friend of Atwater; Samuel Agnew; and several others. Moses Cleaveland satisfied the men, and while it is true he was giving away his employer's assets, he was trying to gain for the company, a built in population. He served both employers and employees as well. On Monday, October 17,1796, John Holley wrote in his journel, " Finished surveying in New Connecticut; weather rainy." Tuesday October 18, he again wrote, " We left Cuyahoga at 3:00 o'clock 17 minutes for HOME. We left at Cuyahoga, Job Stiles and wife and Joseph Landon with provisons for winter." They rowed about seven and a half miles and camped for the night. On the Reserve at Cleaveland, the General left Job and Tabitha Stiles and Edward Paine in charge of stores in a cabin on lot 53. At Conneaut, he left Eliza Gunn and wife and the Kingsbury family. At Sandusky was a French trader. These were the only white men left on the Reserve as a silent winter hardened in. Deserving to return to Hartford and a hero's welcome, the managers of the survey party instead stepped into a meeting of disappointed stockholders. They immediately appointed a committee to inquire why the costs of the survey were running so high; and into the conduct of the directors. They challeged Augustus Porter's field notes of survey and had them gone over by the Yale professor, who could find no error in his total of 3,450,753 acres, including the half million acres of the Firelands. While these business matters went on at Hartford, Connecticut, those left on the Reserve faced a brutal winter. The Stileses and Edward Paine at the mouth of the Cuyahoga were able to survive fairly well, because they had the company rations stored there. Besides they were assisted with game by the Ogontz, Ottawa, Sagamaw,Chippewa, and Seneca Indians. But at Conneaut, where the Kingsburys were holding the land, snow fell early and the winter froze in hard. James Kingsbury had come onto the Reserve as the first frontiersman with intent to settle. Initially, he had nothing to do with the Land Company. He and his wife, Eunice, came from Alsted, New Hampshire, with their children, Abigail, Amos,and Almon, an infant. They came to have a very large part in the Cuyahoga story. Kingsbury was a colonel of militia in New Hampshire, but pinning for action. There being none, he packed up his family in an ox-drawn wagon and moved west for the frontier. The young family reached Buffalo Creek in New York, just as General Cleaveland was coming through to catch up to his surveying party. He urged Kingsbury to join him, help with the work, and buy land later, when he had seen all the survey and pick his favorite spot. Kingsbury worked with the survey crew in matters of supply and when the crew went home in the fall, his assignment was to remain at Conneaut in charge of some stores. Because the winter set in so fast and hard, it drove game into hiding, and it was necessary to kill for food one of the cattle left by the survey party. Business matters called Kingsbury to return to New Hampshire in Novemeber. He went on horseback, expecting his trip to take perhaps six weeks, leaving his family. But when he arrived in New Hampshire, he was laid low by fever. As soon as he could ride, he started his return. He reached Buffalo Creek on December 3, and the next day resumed his journey in a driving horizontal snow. At Conneaut, meanwhile, his wife took ill. She had just birthed a baby and the other children were trying to feed the family at her direction. They had been put to such extremes as digging out kernals of corn which had fallen between the floor puncheons and scraping aside snow to find anything beneath that would be edible. The mother's fever deprived the baby of its food, and the older children frantically tried to feed twigs to feed the remaining cow, so that the baby might have milk. It was crying constantly with starvation. James Kingsbury fought his way through the snow, and in many places it was chin deep with drifts. He plodded on each day with the help of an Indian. His horse died on this last leg of his journey. On December 24, he arrived at his cabin in Conneaut. Inside the cabin, his children told him of the worst as Mrs. Kingsbury being hardly able to speak. He then, took a hand sled and started on foot to Erie for a bushel of wheat. He was able to get to Erie and back before anyone in the cabin died. They cracked the wheat and boiled it, but it was to late for the baby. The infant died. As they carried the child from the house in its coffin, Mrs. Kingsbury collapsed unconscious and remained that way for two weeks. Kingsbury was able to kill a pidgeon for rations. The weather broke shortly and it looked as though the rest of the Kingsbury family could survive until the arrival of the second survey party. The second survey party was under the leadership of Reverand Seth Hart and Seth Pease was in charge of the outfitting and launching and most of the work. He left out of Suffield, Connecticut, April 3, and headed for Schenectady, New York. On June 1, Seth Pease recorded in his journal, " Entered Cuyahoga mouth at 3hrs.22 minutes p.m. Found Mr Stiles and Mrs. Stiles well, also Mrs, Gunn." The work in Cleveland started with news of a death in the party. David Eldridge drowned in attempting to swim his horse across the Grand River. Seth Pease, being an organizer, began his work in an orderly way. First he checked his supplies left from the previous year, then set the men to planting a huge garden to avoid the hunger previously experienced and organized the men into crews, each headed by a surveyor, and he kept all assignments clear. He could keep a mental accounting of supplies and where to put them so that, if teams were on schedule, they would run right into the replacements. He also made provision for taking good care of the horses, Hannah, Mary Ester, the Morton Mare, and the Stow horse. Seth Pease, still a young man, was outranked in years and prestige by most of his crew who were older and included several captains and majors. He ran the detail with a strangely combination of firmess, formality, and respect. As the work progressed. Pease himself took charge of one survey party. Thus his headquarters was always in motion. Yet even as he worked his own line, he had an amazing picture in his mind of what was taking place on all other parts of the survey, and as he moved, he not only directed the surveying, but also the supplying of his crews. He made arrangements for the Kingsburys to be brought down from Conneaut to Cleveland, and for supplies to be leapfrogged ahead of the crews. While his mind oversaw these broad aspects of the work, he also had an eye for small details. ( " Warren's crew left a frying pan on the west bank " ), and for the technical precision of the survey, worrying constantly about the precision of the compasses. *********************************************** to be continued in Part 9. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 02:26:07 -0400 From: "MaggieOhio" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <01a301c15b8c$faa5bf40$1400a8c0@local.net> Subject: Fw: Know Your Ohio -- Ohio's Frontier -- Part 9 A Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darlene & Kathi kelley" To: Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 13:32 Subject: Know Your Ohio -- Ohio's Frontier -- Part 9 A Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Darlene E.
