All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/oh/ohfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Mary Lou Cook collectornuts@aol.com February 6, 2004, 9:56 pm Author: Unknown John Haymaker, son of Jacob and the father of Frederick, cam to Portage County with his wife, Sallie, and children, Jacob, George and Catherine, and settled in Kent, on the Cuyahoga river, coming from Warren, Ohio, where they had located a year previously, having come from Pittsburgh. They were of German descent and members of a large connection of that name in central and northern Pennsylvania. The father, Jacob, had prospected through this section of the country during the spring of 1805, and, being pleased with the country, now Franklin Township, purchased of Olmstead’s agent a tract of land consisting of the present site of the Kent mills. Arriving at the Cuyahoga, John and his family took possession of a rude cabin left by the surveyors, in 1803, which stood just west of where the upper bridge now is. This hut had been used for several years indiscriminately by the Indians and a shelter for deer and other wild animals, and was about a foot deep with excrement, which had to be shoveled out before occupation. During the time they occupied this hovel, the Indians came around in great numbers, as the headquarters of the red-skins were at the falls of the Cuyahoga and on a small stream in Streetsboro township. One day, while the Haymakers were occupying this cabin, a few Indians came there and the squaw, as usual, took her papoose from her back and stood the board to which it had been strapped up against the logs of the cabin, as they never took their children into the houses of whites, except in the very cold weather. After the squaw had gone in, a wild hog came through the brush, and grasping the Indian baby ran off with it; the mother, hearing the noise, ran out and rescued her babe, but not until she had badly beaten the hog. In the spring of 1806, George Haymaker, brother of John, and their father Jacob, came in. Jacob built a house on the west side of the river, where the Kent mills now stand. During the fall of 1806, Frederick Haymaker came in. He was another son of Jacob. He purchased a tract of land including most of the upper village. The Haymaker family owned about 600 acres on the present site of Kent. The older Haymakers were Indian traders. During 1807 the Haymakers built a small mill. The stones for grinding were those known as hard heads and were prepared by Bradford Kellogg, of Hudson. The mill was a very crude affair and was used before it was entirely finished. Crotched poles were planted, upon which other poles were placed. A course cloth was used as a bolting cloth – the work being done by hand. This primitive affair was of great convenience to the settlers and was used with but little improvement for several years. The first white child born in Kent was John F. Haymaker, son of John and Sallie Haymaker, born September 11, 1807. The first death was that of Eve Haymaker, wife of Jacob, father of the first settler, John. Jacob died in 1819, John in 1827, George in 1838, and Frederick died in Trumbull county, Ohio, at Leavittsburg in 1850. Sallie died on June 15, 1869, at the great age of ninety-four years. The old burying ground in which Eve Haymaker was buried in 1810 was donated by one of the Haymakers for burial purposes and consisted of two acres of land.
