Robert, son of James Quigley and Jeanette Quigley, was born 1744, in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., near Quigley's Bridge, along the Conodoguinet Creek, died September 1, 1815; married Mary Jacob, born 1745, died July 9, 1821, whose ancestors lived in Wales. Their descendants were Quakers. Her father came to America with the Penns. He took his wife to his father's home, and father and son worked together to make the fertile fields a source of income, as well as a garden of loveliness. From infancy the son was the companion of his father. Born fourteen years after his parents settled on this wild tract of land, he early learned to wield the axe, fell the forest trees, and follow his father with the plow. In the summertime he harvested the grain, ranked the wood in stacks for winter use, cleared the land of brush and stubble, and built fences, bridges, and laid out roads. Through the short winter days he studied, and with the few books at his command, gained a knowledge of history and Bible truths, committing large portions of scripture. His boyhood days were days of peril, and the dark skin of the savage gleamed from every hiding place. Year after year he heard of blood-thirsty advances in the valley, hundreds falling beneath the blow of the tomahawk, and learned with infant lips to raise the cry of danger, and with the eye of infancy to pick the trail of the savage. Almost as soon as he could shoulder a musket, he was taught its use, as well as its necessity, and struggled with the Indian problem, and fought the dusky braves from childhood until they were under subjection to the white man. 229 His brother John, who was some years his senior died in 1753, leaving Robert the sole protector of his mother during the absence of his father when serving his country in the Colonial War, after his appointment as ensign in 1756. The valley was teeming with life and activity. For twenty-five years the Scotch Irish had settled within its bounds and with the true hearted thrift and industry of a thousand families, the waste places were filled, and the fields planted with grain. The barren was made fruitful, and the uncultivated tract was changed into a region of beauty. At intervals, the Indians who were driven from their native haunts, returned to their old hunting grounds and fishing streams, with intent to kill, and blood stains along the paths and mountains passes were indicative of the fulfillment of their desires. Not far from the Quigley home was a fort, where the women and children gathered, when the rumor of an attack drove the men to a neighboring hill which commanded a view of the valley for miles around. Friends were slaughtered and houses made desolate, yet the Quigley family and homestead were spared. The log house which sheltered parents and children for so many years was unharmed. Although along the Conodoguinet Creek, where the Indians pushed their canoes and fished, they were only the friendly braves who ventured on shore, and offered terms of peace to the family. Yet always on the alert, Robert Quigley put his hand on his musket many times a day, and never left it unloaded, lest he be surprised. The art of cunning was so well learned by the savage, that the white man was ever on guard. Robert Quigley was born with the love of country deeply implanted within his bosom, and was commissioned July 31, 1777, lieutenant of the Seventh Company, First Battalion, Cumberland County Militia. His encounters with the Indians and practice in the shooting of game made him a skilled marksman, and during the Revolutionary War many a redcoat fell beneath his unfaltering aim and steady nerve. He fought for freedom, and helped to sever his land and the countrymen from the galling yoke which bound them. He and his wife were members and regular attendants of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church, which his parents were instrumental in organizing. Many members who were 230 compelled to ford the creek, were irregular in their attendance, the stream at times being impassable, but not having the inconvenience of crossing the creek, he and his family were rarely absent from worship. They sat under the preaching of the Rev. John Blair who succeeded Rev. Thomas Craighead, Rev. Robert Cooper from 1765 to 1805, and Rev. John Moody D. D. who began his pastorate in 1805 and continued in charge of the congregation for fifty years. Their neighbors and friends attended the same church, and the Sabbath was a day of pleasant reunion as well as a season of worship. In the early days of the settlement, a peaceful frame of mind was not enjoyed by the worshiper, for the fear of an Indian outbreak was the prevailing thought in each heart, but gradually their outrages subsided, and muskets were no longer stacked at the church door, nor did the anxious eyes of the family as they returned to the home scan the horizon for a flame or a curl of smoke, that might be the last of what was once their fireside, built by their hands. Robert Quigley was a strong character, upright and honorable in business transactions, on whose judgment the settlers depended, realizing that they could rely on his candor and wise decisions. He was a man of few words, but they were justly and agreeably uttered. Not harsh of speech, his kindly manner drew all men unto him, and his gentleness made him a favorite with children. Refined and courteous, he considered the welfare of others his chief pleasure. He laid for his children the foundations of sterling, influential characters, and aided by his wife, he possessed a home in which glowed the most devoted affection, and to which friends and neighbors came with the greatest delight. Their children were all born in the old homestead. "Gentle of speech but absolute of rule" they taught their sons and daughters to respect and obey their wishes in all things. Robert Quigley died six years before his wife. His will is dated November 8, 1814 and probated September 23, 1815, three weeks after his death. It reads as follows: "Joseph and John shall pay from their shares, funeral expenses of self and wife. My wife Mary shall have one feather bed, one bedstead, and clothing for bed, curtains 231 and warming pan, one chest of drawers, one small trunk she had when married, table and chairs sufficient for use, cupboard and furniture, and whole of kitchen furniture, two milch cows, one horse and saddle, said articles to be at her disposal. She shall have one room in the east end of the house, with a chimney made in said room, to have privilege of the kitchen and part of the cellar for her real use, to have access to go and come in any part of the mansion farmhouse, and to be kept in sufficient firewood. Joseph and John to support their mother during life. If wife should leave house or room, Joseph and John are to pay her yearly twenty-five pounds, she having right to take movable property with her. To son James 350 pounds, to four daughters Eleanor, Jennet, Dinah and Mary 600 pounds equally divided between them. The balance of estate to Joseph and John." The balance of the estate was valuable, and the farm land yielded a lucrative income. The property consisted of more than the usual number of outbuildings, a log house of one and a half-stories in height, which was one of the first dwellings erected in the valley, and 400 acres of land. The original house was replaced by a brick house in 1842 and has descended from father to son, and is still in the possession of the family. It did not stand on the exact site of the present building, where the road from Newville to Newburg branches into a road to Shippensburg and Middle Spring, but nearer the creek. Near the mansion house was a clover mill which stood on the bank of the Conodoguinet Creek until 1860, when it was torn down and not rebuilt. It was erected by Robert Quigley, and at his death constituted part of his estate. To this mill neighbors brought their grain, and it became quite a business center. For years the fording near the mill was the best place to cross the creek. About the year 1826 or 1828 a covered bridge was made to span the stream, which is still known as Quigley's Bridge. Two miles north west, lies Newburg, which was incorporated at an early date. In 1810, John, son of Rev. Robert Cooper D. D., organized and established a school at that place, known as Hopewell Academy. The public road from Newville ran in front of the Quigley home, over the bridge, on to Newburg, and the students coming and going, and the continuous travel every day, made the 232 life of the family less monotonous than many of the settlers who lived in more isolated districts. The Cumberland Valley Railroad runs seven miles distant, and the mail is still carried over the route to Newburg from Newville. Though the old bridge stands, strange eyes look from the house near by for the carrier, for inherited and owned by descendants of Robert Quigley, it is occupied by tenants. Among the early generations of the family, blue eyes, brown hair, and strong vigorous constitutions predominated. A mixture of red hair and brown eyes was noticeable in, some of the children of Robert Quigley, and is seen in descendants until the present day. He was large, powerfully built, while his sister Mary Quigley Brady was small, active, and full of vivacity. Brother and sister were devoted to each other. Although nine years older than Robert, she was his companion in childhood as well as his counselor. Between them sprang a deep affection, which did not decrease with years and distance to separate them. With less height than is accorded to the majority of women, but an indomitable will, she braved dangers and difficulties unknown to the feminine heart of later days. Her brother had a warm, affectionate spirit, and with his wife and children, was an ideal husband and father, who contributed largely to their comfort and provided bountifully for their temporal needs. Not wealthy, they had ample provision for all necessities, stock and fine horses, with their acres of land in good condition, their home furnished with the conveniences of primitive times. Within a radius of fifty miles were one hundred families of Scotch Irish birth and blood, who were congenial, and gave to society an element of refinement and culture. The visits of friends were not numerous until after the Revolutionary War. When peace was declared and the Indians subdued, neighbors became more sociable and exchanged pleasant intercourse. Hospitality was more generally extended and social functions brought kindred and acquaintances in closer contact, which warm attachment continues to this day amongst the members of the Quigley House. Robert Quigley and his wife are buried in the Middle Spring Presbyterian graveyard. [Image] THE MIDDLE SPRING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 233 Issue: 2. i. JAMES QUIGLEY, b. Nov. 8, 1770; m.

They were neighbors, members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church, married by Rev. Samuel Wilson D. D., pastor of the Big Spring Presbyterian Church at Newville, Penna., prior to 1805 their children were baptized by the Rev. Robert Cooper, D.D. and those born after that date by Rev. John Moody, D. D., pastors at Middle Spring. After marriage they lived at Shippensburg, Penna., until 1810, when they removed to Warren. Ohio, became identified with the Presbyterians there, and are buried in the cemetery at that place. The inscription on the gravestone of the ancestress is quaintly inscribed "Graselda," instead of our modern spelling. Esteemed, beloved as citizens and friends, earnest in all the pursuits of life, they filled their days with useful deeds and efforts to benefit humanity. James Quigley and his sisters Eleanor and Dinah married into the same McKinney family. Issue: 8. i. JANE QUIGLEY, b. Nov., 1796; m. Harris Ewalt. 9. ii. ROBERT QUIGLEY, b.

Jennet Quigley3 (Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) second daughter of Robert Quigley and Mary Jacob Quigley was born June 6, 1774 in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., near Quigley's Bridge, died October 14, 1823; married April 19, 1798 James Rodgers born January 9, 1775 a few miles from the Quigley homestead, between the Bridge and Newburg, died September 10, 1831. In the will of Robert Quigley, the name of his daughter is mentioned as Jennet, while on her tombstone it is Jane, and she was thus called by her family and friends. James Rodgers was the son of Richard Rodgers who was born 1733, died September 16, 1804; married 1771 Rachel Denny, born 1748, died April 1, 1812. They had seven children, William, James, Margaret, Frances, Andrew, Rachel and Denny. From the Scotch clan of Rodgers sprang a race of people unexcelled in exemplary traits of character and christian 235 graces, with courteous bearing, and gentle, aristocratic faces. They sought no height of distinction in social, political, or religious life, yet their superiority gave them precedence everywhere and at all times with their fellowmen in intellectual, civil, and ecclesiastical affairs. In society they were leaders in hospitality. They were owners of large tracts of land. From their abundance the poor were enriched, and every worthy cause received a lavish contribution. Benevolence sprang from warm hearts, full of generous impulses. Nowhere were kindly interest in friends, and substantial assistance more graciously given, nor courteous, unselfish love more tenderly extended. After the death of their parents, their sons and daughters continued to live near Newburg until 1833, when they removed to Springfield, Ohio. James Rodgers and his wife were members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church, and are buried in the graveyard at that place. Issue: 14. i. RICHARD RODGERS, b. Nov 13, 1799; m.

After the death of her husband, Jane Linn Rodgers removed with her two boys to her father's house, where she remained until after the death of her parents. She then made her home in Shippensburg until 1850, when she went to Mt. Joy, Penna., and spent a few years, and later lived at Springfield. Issue: 18. i. REV. JAMES LINN RODGERS, b. May 5, 1827; m.

Mary Quigley3 (Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) fifth child of Robert Quigley and Mary Jacob Quigley, was born April 5, 1778, in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., near Quigley's Bridge, died September 21, 1838; married David Bell, born 1773, died October 1, 1833. They had no children, but adopted a son William Bell born 1818, died June 25, 1838. They lived, died and are buried at Warren, Ohio. VI. Joseph Quigley3 (Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) seventh child of Robert Quigley and Mary Jacob Quigley, was born April 1, 1783, in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., near Quigley's Bridge, died June 8, 1868; married June 9, 1808, Mary Sterrett Sharp born 1786, died March 12, 1853, daughter of James Sharp and Mary Sterrett Sharp, who lived two miles south of Quigley's Bridge. At the time of his marriage, Joseph Quigley took his wife to his father's house, which was the original log house on the bank of the Conodoguinet Creek. His children were all born in the old home, which was occupied by him not later than 1841, when he erected a brick dwelling house for his family. Not on the site of the old, which was built near the stream, it was built to the south west and more inland. The four hundred acre tract of Quigley land surrounded the house on each side, and was not divided until after the death of Joseph Quigley. In early life and when in the prime of manhood, he had a full, broad shouldered physique, of medium height, with a kind, earnest face, and bright blue eyes. In later years, when his body lost its vigor, his vision became dim and he was almost blind. He made his home with his son David, and day after day for several years, he walked back and forth from there to the home of his son James, which was near by. His eyes refused to allow him to read. He enjoyed the society of his family, and spent his declining days in conversation with them and his friends, or in driving over his farm, and knew every hill and furrow on it. He was a warm hearted, affectionate son of the House of Quigley, generous, genial, unprejudiced, and mild. For miles around he was known for his thoughful generosity, 231 and consideration of the feelings of others. He had a high sense of honor, and used his influence for good. He was an interested listener, a smooth, pleasing talker, with a well modulated voice, every accent of which, was full of gentle kindness and tenderness. Always willing to lend a helping hand, he and his wife were the means of doing great good, and kept many hearts from breaking, as well as extending aid to the poor and needy. She was full of animation and vivacity, a thoroughly capable woman, a devoted wife and mother, with a disposition calculated to bring happiness to others, because of the brightness in herself. They were members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, and are buried in the graveyard at that place. Issue: 20. i. MARY QUIGLEY, b. Mar. 5, 1809; m. Jesse Kilgore. ii.

John Quigley3 (Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) youngest child of Robert Quigley and Mary Jacob Quigley, was born February 18, 1785 in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., near Quigley's Bridge, along the Conodoguinet Creek, died December 26, 1847; married Sinai Hamil of Virginia, died January 12, 1852 aged 66 years. He owned and lived on a farm of three hundred acres near Shepherstown, Va. He was blind for some years prior to his death. He had one daughter Lucy, who married James W. Strider, and to them were born two children who 238 died in infancy. Lucy Quigley Strider inherited the farm from her father, who left a horse to his nephew John Quigley, and twenty dollars apiece to his nieces "the McKinney girls." Lucy died in 1850, and a short time afterwards, her husband was thrown from his horse and killed. Her will bequeathed the half of her farm to her husband, the other half to the heirs of her father's brother Joseph, silver spoons and two silver cake baskets valued at sixty dollars apiece to her cousin Mrs. Agnes Quigley Orr. The farm was sold after the war, and the heirs to one half were cheated out of twenty one hundred dollars. Mr. Strider was married twice, and his share of the estate probably descended to the children of his first wife. Mrs. Orr did not recieve her legacy. She and her father visited her uncle in Virginia in 1847. He bore the title of Captain. It may have been his by actual service, but we have no proof of his claim or record of his military career. He and his wife died at their home near Sheperdstown, and are buried in the cemetery at that place. VIII. Jane Quigley4 (James Quigley3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) oldest child of James Quigley and Grizelda McKinney Quigley, was born November 1796 near Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., Penna., died October 16, 1861; married 1820 Harris Ewalt of Pittsburg, Penna., born July 5, 1796, died March 7, 1829 at Pittsburg. He was a merchant, closely identified with the business and financial interests of his city, and ably assisted in its growth and development. His early death, at the age of thirty-three years, left his widow with two small children, seven dying in infancy. With her little family she went to the home of her husband's father, Samuel Ewalt, and lived with him until his death. She was a noble, self sacrificing mother, bringing up her children in the doctrines of the Presbyterian faith. Animated and full of vigor, her brave endurance of adversity was a sure passport to the affection of her friends, who were devoted to her. She was lovable and beloved, and deeply sympathetic, sharing the joys and sorrows of those around her, as though personally affected by them. Although saddened by her early loss, she allowed no grief to mar the happiness of her home. She is buried beside her husband at Pittsburg. 239 Issue: i. ANNA HARRIS EWALT, b. Dec. 25, 1821; d.

Irwin was in business with his father at the time of his marriage, resided at Pittsburg until 1865, and removed to Philadelphia, where lie lived until death. His wife was baptized, married, and buried by Rev. Richard Lea. She was a Presbyterian, strong in the faith, endowed with a generous, unselfish disposition, open to friendliness and extending it to others, her life was spent in furthering the affectionate intercourse of her family, and in the discharge of duty. She was rich in the attractions of body and mind, with a dignified ease of body and manner, a soft intonation of speech, exquisite taste, and a heart overflowing with loving kindness. No one could leave a nobler record. Her afflictions were borne with fortitude and resignation. She lived heart to heart with her family, and her death was a personal loss to each of them.

Robert Quigley4 (James Quigley3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) oldest son of James Quigley and Grizelda McKinney Quigley, was born January 11, 1798 near Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., Penna., died in 1849 from an attack of cholera. He removed with his parents to Warren, Ohio, in 1810. With his sister Jane and his brother Joseph, he united with the church at Warren by certificate, therefore their first connection was probably with the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, near their old home in Pennsylvania. The Church Manual at Warren contains the following record: "Eviline, first wife of Robert Quigley died July 25, 1829." He married secondly, Sarah Mason born October 3, 1813, died December 25, 1855. She was a thoroughly consecrated woman, devoted to christian work, and a faithful wife and mother. Her husband was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church at Warren. In 1849 he started to California and became ill before he reached his destination. His death occurred at Independence, Missouri, where he is buried. They had five children, only one of whom reached the age of womanhood. 242 Issue: i. ANNA MASON QUIGLEY, b. Nov. 5, 1841 at Warren, Ohio, d. Mar. 13, 1875, at Pittsburg, Penna., in the suburb of East Liberty; m. May 18, 1865, Rev. John Gillespie, D. D., a native of Scotland. After the death of her parents she left her childhood home at Warren, and with her sister Lucy was taken into the family of a venerable aunt, Mrs. Abigail Hartford, widow of Dr. Thomas Hartford, of Pittsburg, who established her residence in Washington, Penna., in the spring of 1857. She received a full course of instruction in the Washington Female Seminary. She was received into the communion of the First Presbyterian church of Washington, Dec. 19, 1862. Immediately following her marriage, she removed to East Liberty, where she spent the ten years of her married life. She was intelligent, thoughtful and affectionate, and an exemplary character. Her constitution was delicate, and her death was the result of a prolonged decline of health. She is buried in the Allegheny cemetery. Her husband, Rev. John Gillespie, D. D., was born Feb. 26, 1839, at Haddington, a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he received his early education. When fourteen years of age he was brought to the United States, and after suitable preparation entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he was graduated with high honor in the class of 1862. After leaving college he received his theological education at the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Penna., during which course he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of St. Clairsville. After his graduation from the seminary, he was at once called to the position of assistant pastor in the Presbyterian church of East Liberty, where he remained seventeen years. In 1882 he was called to the Westminster church of Elizabeth, N. J., and after a pastorate of four years he was elected to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, as secretary, in which capacity he served for thirteen years. He was called to the work not only with a view to his ability, but to the keen interest and zeal he cherished for missions while yet a pastor. He won the esteem of his colleagues and of the entire board, by his eminent fidelity, genial spirit, and sincere devotion to the cause he espoused. He was remarkable for his unfailing courtesy, never forgetful of the feelings of others. It is said, "his courtesy appeared on all occasions like the central spark of light in the diamond, which shines from every angle. It appeared in his beautiful domestic life as well as in the earnest discussions of the board, and it characterized his missionary letters, and his public addresses." In 1891 he was sent to visit some of the important missions of the board. especially those of India, but he went by way of China and Japan, in which places he made brief visits. 243 As a pastor he was beloved. "He was faithful to every trust, and had that sweetness of life which only comes from the triumph of grace within the heart. I do not think there ever lived a man to whom one would more quickly go in the hour of trouble, or at whose hand one would receive a sweeter welcome or more helpful comfort." He was also a man among men, a friend in prosperity or adversity, who brought cheer and light into every gathering where he met with his people. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Wooster University. He died Feb. 16, 1899, at Elizabeth, N. J., at the age of sixty years. Services were held in Elizabeth, on the 18th and in the East Liberty Presbyterian church on the 20th, in commemoration of his life and work.

Graham, born June 26, 1806, at Versailes, Ky., died July 29, 1885 at Louisville, Ky., daughter of Alexander Graham and Anne Graham. At the age of ten years he removed with his parents to Warren, Ohio, thence to Pittsburg in 1813, in 1821 to Kentucky, Hopkersville, Russelville, Bowling Green, and in 1854 to Louisville, where he spent the remainder of his life. He made the trip from Pittsburg to Louisville on a flat boat, even that tedious mode of transit, preferable to the journey by horse and wagon. He became identified with almost every enterprise in the city. His superior judgment and financial ability won for him the admiration of his fellow men, and by those with whom he was associated in the banking business, he was considered one of the best financiers in the state. His benevolent spirit enabled him to use his wealth to great advantage. He was especially helpful to young men, to whom he extended the most courteous kindness, and gave the conscientious advice of one who was alive to all public endeavors. Mild and gentlemanly in bearing, with a personal magnetism and charm of manner, he was enriched with the sincere affection of the poor in his city, as well as 246 those in more influential walks of life. He was zealous in all good works, and the purity of his career and christian living, were sources of inspiration to all with whom he came in contact. His financial aid was appreciated in the building and management of the Nashville railroad. All beneficiary objects received his substantial support. He was a staunch friend of the union, and worked with untiring zeal for her cause during the War of the Rebellion. He had slaves, the last one tenderly cared for by his family, until her death in 1900. During the entire struggle, he had charge of many soldiers and regiments of both armies in Louisville. He was warmly attached to his family, and made frequent visits to his relatives in Pennsylvania and Ohio. His wife lived from the age of six months at Bowling Green, until the time of her removal with her husband and family at Louisville. At Bowling Green Thomas Quigley was engaged in the tobacco business, and was in early manhood, as in later life, genial and rich in the qualities which contributed to make him useful, and gave him a strong unwavering affection for the people of his state, which was reciprocated, and in whose loyalty he had every reason to believe was truth and sincerity. He was not only a public benefactor and promoter of education, but a firm believer in the beauty and comfort of a happy home life, the welfare and happiness of the members of his household his constant aim and consideration. He was connected with many industries, political and social institutions. He was a valued, philanthropic business man, in whom was reposed implicit confidence and faith. He died suddenly of paralysis. The day of his death a Louisville paper contained the following: -"Mr. Quigley was one of the best citizens of Kentucky. He was quiet, unassuming, yet one of the most public minded men in the state. He was always alive to everything that could promote prosperity or the welfare of the people. They owed to him a large portion of the gratitude that is due to the building and running of the Nashville railroad. In all financial matters he was a tower of strength. He was one of the best financiers that Kentucky has produced. Throughout the 247 struggle against the Rebellion he was one of the most zealous friends of the union. The state and the city deeply, profoundly feel this irreparable loss. Time, the consoler, only can assuage this private and public sorrow." He was a member of the United States Christian Commission and the Executive Committee of the Kentucky Branch, held a meeting on the ninth of January 1864, six days after his death, adopted and published the, following resolutions. He was Treasurer of this Branch. "Whereas, in the providence of God, our beloved brother and fellow laborer, Thomas Quigley, Esq., fell asleep in Jesus on the third day of January, leaving a large place vacant in his family circle, the church of which be was a member, and the very wide circle of his acquaintance; and whereas in his death the country has lost one of its most loyal friends and supporters, (whose very name was a tower of strength in all financial matters), and as this loss has come upon us at a time when we were just on the point of reaping a rich harvest from his influence; therefore, Resolved, first, That we bow in deep sorrow and humble submission to that inevitable Providence that has removed from us such an efficient co-laborer. Second, That we recognize in this great and untimely loss to the country, and especially to the Christian Commission, a call from on high to redouble our energies in pushing forward this great wave of humanity and religion; and we do earnestly implore divine guidance in selecting one who may be a worthy successor of our beloved brother. Third, We tender our heart felt sympathy to the family and relatives of the deceased in this visitation of Providence upon them, and we earnestly commend them to that rich grace of our merciful heavenly Father, which alone can bestow upon them an equivalent for the loss they have sustained. Fourth, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and also to the secular and religious papers of this city for publication. S. EDWARD HARDY, Chairman. ISAAC RUSSELL. Secretary." His death occurred during the Civil War. Although his life in Louisville covered a period of only ten years, he was 248 respected and beloved as few men have been, and his place was difficult to fill. The evidences of his charitable spirit and tokens of his generosity remain as memorials to him. Members of his family reside at Louisville still, and the most pleasing courtesy is extended in his home, and the breach made by his death is felt alike by young and old in his circle of friends. He and his family were members of the Presbyterian Church, he a ruling elder for many years. On his children has fallen his mantle of generosity, and the graces which nature and gentle birth bequeath to descendants. Issue: i. JAMES ALEXANDER QUIGLEY, b. Apr. 24, 1828, d. Aug. 15, 1830. ii.

He was in the banking house of his father, and after his death was deeply interested in the settlement of his vast estate. For more than a year he labored to judiciously adjust the affairs of his extensive business, and his absence in New York for a few days previous to his death, was the first relaxation from his arduous duties. He was just and magnanimous, a positive character, yet so mildly consid- 250 erate in the enforcement of his opinions, that his friends cherished the most affectionate devotion for him. Warm hearted and impulsive in his attachments, he lost no opportunity to praise and commend the pleasing qualities and achievements of those in whom he was interested. He claimed and was shown the most profound respect for one so young, and his career foretold success, when at the age of twenty-eight years he suddenly died.

In 1833 they removed to Springfield, where they resided until death. They were identified with the Presbyterian church. After some years the congregation increased to such an extent, that it was necessary to make a division. The original was 257 known as the First Church, and the mission to which the Rodgers family were charter members, and were instrumental in organizing and sustaining was called the Second Church, with which their descendants have been connected. Richard Rodgers had extensive lime kilns and stone quarries at Springfield and was postmaster there for four years. He was an ambitious, enterprising citizen. His highly cultured abilities, mental, physical and moral, found abundant opportunity for useful service in the city to which he devoted his energies in his business career. His unprejudiced opinions, his scrupulous integrity, and unbounded interest in the development of the commercial status of his state, rendered his terms of office, acceptable to the citizens and agreeable to him. To every worthy cause, to every charitable institution, he gave his assistance, mentally and financially, and aided all movements for purity in civil affairs. He favored no law which did not promote good. His life was a series of generous benefactions to all with whom he was associated in business, political and social relations. When Springfield was in its infancy, and during its growth, he was untiring in his endeavors to further its resources, and he lived to see it become a flourishing city. He was well known, and his memory is cherished by many friends, to whom he was steadfast and loyal in his devotion, whose friendship was of priceless value. He still lives in their hearts. His wife was twice married. She married secondly September 16, 1874 James Blair of Scranton, and had no children by this marriage. During her life in Springfield, she was actively engaged in church work. She was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church, and was President and Treasurer of the Ladies Aid Society during the Civil War. As a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Scranton, she rendered efficient service. She was President and one of the Board of Managers of the Home for the Friendless, until her health failed and she was obliged to resign. She was universally esteemed and admired, interested and capable in all lines of charities, giving largely to the poor and suffering. She raised many to higher and better things. Bright and sympathetic, she smoothed many of the rough places for those around her. 258 Issue: i. JAMES DENNY RODGERS, b. Dec. 20, 1846; d. Apr. 11. 1847. ii. GEORGE GREENE RODGERS, b.

Mary Rodgers4 (Jennet Quigley Rodgers3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) was born August 2, 1801 in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., between Quigley's Bridge and Newburg, died August 10, 1878 at Springfield, Ohio; married April 1, 1823 Isaac Ward, born October 2, 1796 near Portsmouth, Scioto Co., Ohio, died April 3, 1863 at Springfield, Ohio. His parents William Ward and Polly Harrison Ward were married in Pennsylvania, October 31, 1793, removed to Ohio soon after, settled near Portsmouth, where Isaac Ward their second son was born. His father was drowned while crossing the Ohio river in a small boat, and his uncle, John Harrison, went from Dauphin Co., Penna., to his sister, and took her family on the backs of two horses to Pennsylvania with him. Isaac Ward settled near Newburg, in the immediate vicinity of the Rodgers homestead, married, and engaged in the Woolen Manufacturing business. His health became impaired and after his removal with his wife, child, and the Rodgers family to Springfield, Ohio, in 1833, he was not actively identified with any business affairs, although he made investments in land, owned a farm, and opened the stone quarry, which his grandson Isaac Ward Frey now owns. His old home farm has been for many years within the corporate limits of the city, a part of its enterprising development. He was of the highest type of character, both as a citizen and a christian gentleman. He wrote a beautiful hand, and made a study of the Bible, was well versed in its truths, and noted many comments on paper, expressive of his thoughts. 259 He was self educated, and his good judgment and counsel were relied upon by business friends throughout his life. He was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church, and his house was an abiding place for all visiting ministers, who were given all the comforts of home. He and his wife united by certificate from the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania with the First Presbyterian Church at Springfield, and with the rapid growth in members and demands for a larger house of worship or another organization composed of a number of the First Church adherents, were among the charter members of the Second Church, which soon increased in size and became as prosperous and well established as its parent. Mary Rodgers Ward and her husband were consecrated to christian work. For many years she was actively engaged in the Sunday School, and had charge of the infant department, to which she devoted her time and energy. She was bright and attractive to children, and her labor was more than compensated by their faithful attendance, growth in knowledge, and affection for her. She was a leader in church movements. No effort was too great nor discouragement too strong to quench her interest in all that pertained to the furtherance of the cause which engrossed her mind, and in which she had abundant success. In social life, she was beloved, and in her home she was lavish in her hospitable entertainments. No one left her presence without deriving benefit from her sunny nature. She possessed a genial cordiality of manner, and a warm hearted personality, which interested and charmed those with whom she was associated. Her generosity and kindness knew no bounds. Those in distress and grief unburdened their sorrows, those in need, received bountiful assistance. Sympathetic and gentle with those whom fortune did not favor, she had a retinue of friends, on whom she bestowed loving charities. She had a finely equipped mind, unbiased and fully developed. Firm in her conviction of right and wrong, she chose the path of the just, and her example was an incentive to renewed effort and zeal on the part of many who otherwise may have faltered. The magnetism of her presence was felt by the sick and 260 the dying, to whom her ministries were tender and helpful. Those who knew her best, loved her most. She was a true, noble woman in every sense of the word and from every standpoint. She lived to the age of seventy-seven years, forty-five of which were spent at Springfield, Ohio. She had one daughter, to whom she gave the name of her mother Jane Quigley, which has descended throughout all branches of the Quigley family. Issue: i. JANE QUIGLEY WARD b.

Dr. Robert Rodgers4 (Jennet Quigley Rodgers3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) was born September 24, 1807 in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., between Quigley's Bridge and Newburg, died February 14, 1880 at Springfield, Ohio: married April 10, 1833 Effie Harrison, daughter of General John Harrison and Frances Harrison, born January 8, 1811 at East Hanover, Lebanon Co., Penna., died June 12, 1887 at Springfield, Ohio. His boyhood was spent in the Cumberland Valley. He studied medicine with Dr. Rankin in Shippensburg, and was a graduate of the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, in the class of 1828. He practiced for one year from 1828 to 1829 at New Hope, Bucks Co., Penna., and removed to his native county at the expiration of that period, and was associated with Dr. Geddes at Newville for a few years. In 1832 he accepted a partnership with Dr. G. S. B. Hempstead at Portsmouth, Scioto Co., Ohio, where he remained until 1833, when he returned to Pennsylvania and was married. His brothers Richard, William, and sister Mary Rodgers Ward with her husband and child left their old homes in 263 the east, and went to Springfield, Ohio in 1833 and on July fourth of that year, Dr. Robert Rodgers and his wife joined them, and thereafter lived in the city of their adoption, and he was recognized as a leader in his profession. He soon became established in the practice of medicine at Springfield, and his name was a household favorite in many homes in that city and surrounding country for more than forty years. For almost half a century, he followed his profession with intense earnestness and abundant success. In the early settlement days, he rode miles on horseback, over bad roads, into dangerous districts thinly populated, always bearing with him a cheerful countenance and a pleasant word. The coming of their physician, not only relieved the sick, but proved an eventful occasion to the families in the frontier country, who seldom left home during the winter, and saw and heard little of human life outside their range of vision. Dr. Robert Rodgers was interested in mankind from every point of view, and took with him books and newspapers to households where literature was bought in meagre quantities. He sought to dispense happiness and comfort, and his self sacrificing nature knew no failure. His noble spirit rose above discouragement, and momentary defeat meant renewed endeavor. He was not satisfied to heal the body, but ministered unto the needs of the soul. He opened every avenue of approach to his patients, to lead them to higher and better things. In the address made at his funeral service by his pastor Rev. William H. Webb, he said: "He was a christian physician. Many today can testify of his kindness and skill, to whom his memory will always be fragrant, whose name as now will be spoken by them with the greatest veneration and love. But God gave him another place. It was in the church. Connecting himself with the First Presbyterian Church of this city, the year following his coming to Springfield, in 1833, he ever honored his christian profession. He was a man of prayer and faith, and he so commended himself by his piety to his brethren in the church, that soon after the organization of the Second Presbyterian Church twenty years ago, he was chosen as one of 264 her standard bearers. He was known by his associates in the session as a man of judgment, of a deep religious experience, and was looked up to by all as one worthy of the office he filled." He was an elder in the church until his death, in the First and then in the Second, previously holding the offices of trustee and deacon. Intellectually brilliant, and possessing in a marked degree that innate refinement and culture which cannot be effaced, he was a true specimen of manhood. His integrity, uncompromising honesty, kindliness, tender outlook on the oppressed and disheartened, won for him the approval and praise of his fellow men. Saving lives by quiet deeds of heroic zeal, quelling disease, daily ministrations in poverty stricken homes, closing the eyes of the dead, giving life to the hopeless-these are the memories that cling to the career of Dr. Robert Rodgers. He used his talents to the best advantage. He was gifted with a keen sense of his obligation to humanity and strove to meet it as a faithful trust. He was thoroughly alive to all the business enterprises and political problems of his day, and conversant on all popular questions and current topics. His purity of speech and chaste utterances bespoke a heart in which dwelt no evil or unkind thoughts and desires. Harsh words never passed his lips. Gentle and unassuming, he was a beloved physician and friend. In his home life he showed the most considerate and affectionate solicitude for his family. His wife embodied all the graces of attractive womanhood. Charming in appearance and manner, she was universally admired. Full of animated dignity and gracious courtesy, she entertained in the most hospitable way, giving her guests the freedom of her home, losing no opportunity to add to their comfort or pleasure, esteeming no means of contributing to their pleasure a sacrifice. She and her husband lived in the enjoyment of unselfish endeavors to bestow kindness and affection on their family and friends. Her soft voice and sweet accent of speech were indicative of her gentleness and amiable disposition. She survived her husband seven years. In 1870 he virtually retired from the practice of his profession, and in 1875 a slight paralysis was the 265 beginning of a progressive disease which resulted in his death. Their seven children were born at Springfield, and have resided there. Issue: i. DR. JOHN HARRISON RODGERS, b. Aug. 19, 1834; m. May 21, 1857, Jane Mitchell Sturgeon, b.

William Rodgers4 (Jennet Quigley Rodgers3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) was born December 29, 1809 in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., between Quigley's Bridge and Newburg, died January 19, 1894 at Springfield, Ohio; married April 13, 1841 Sarah Harrison, daughter of General John Harrison and Frances Harrison of Pennsylvania, and sister of Effie Harrison, the wife of Dr. Robert Rodgers. Not far from the Conodoguinet Creek, bounded on the north by the Kittatinny mountains, was the Rodgers homestead, where William was born and spent the first twenty years of his life. The peaceful quiet of the country was not alluring to the active brain and body of the young man. "Far from the maddening crowds ignoble strife," he did not find the energetic thrift and enterprise for which he hungered. With the prospect of greater advantages and a wider field in the business world, and with the encouraging account of prosperity in the west, which his brother Robert gave after the year he spent along the river at Portsmouth, Ohio, he decided, with his sister and brothers to leave the old home in Pennsylvania. The remainder of his life of eighty five years he passed in Springfield. His love for the scenes of his boyhood was genuine and beautiful, and though separated by distance and ever changing events, he remembered the friends and haunts of his youth. His warm hearted manner and cordial greeting were as much a part of his personality, as his true gentlemanliness of life and speech. In Springfield was a vigorous throng of men, actively engaged in laying the foundation of a city, giving their strength and energy to make it what it has proved to be- commercially, morally and artistically-one of the finest and most attractive business and residence cities in the United States, its beauty and industrial zeal largely due to the determination and cooperation of the early pioneer settlers. Good, reliable, intelligent men they were, with no false pride of place or station, with practical views and persistent effort which knew no retreat. To this eager, ambitious multitude William Rodgers joined his keen perception of facts, clear judgment, thorough discrimination and estimate of trade and enterprise. 268 He was interested in rural life and owned a farm. To the Dry Goods business he gave his attention and was successful in its pursuit, though for a number of years prior to his death he was not actively engaged in mercantile transactions. He was strictly honorable in all business affairs, strong in defense of the right, upheld the good in humanity and denounced evil in all things. His name, and kind, thoughtful manner are remembered by many friends who received from his hand the most gracious consideration. He was a consistent member of the Second Presbyterian Church, and one of her charter members. In her doctrines he was rigid, and in his views thoroughly Calvanistic. He was true to her standards, and he was a power for good in the church and community. His life was long and useful. His business career brought him in contact with people who had the most profound respect for him and esteemed him above his fellow men. Upright, and conscientious in the discharge of his duties, he sought to benefit those about him, and they learned to depend upon him and his wise decisions, and loved him for his true manliness and worth. His wife, who was born in Lebanon Co., Penna., was attractive in manner, with a bright, happy disposition. Her loveliness of person and character were ideal. She was a wife in whose companionship her husband found every wish gratified, and in whose society her friends lingered with delight. She was full of lively, gladsome thoughts and imparted the warmth and brightness of her nature to those around her, making her home a place of real comfort and cheer. Her gentle courtesy made her always approachable, and her strength of character challenged respect and admiration. XVII. Rev. James Linn Rodgers4 (Jane Linn Rodgers3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1) son of James Rodgers and Jane Linn Rodgers, was born May 5, 1827 near Shippensburg, Cumberland Co., Penna., died January 21, 1895 at Springfield, Ohio, and is buried in the Fern Cliff cemetery beside his wife, Hettie Burd Cochran, who was born September 20, 1829 in Shippensburg, married May 20, 1850, died January 21, 1887, daughter of Robert Cochran and Eliza Linn Cochran of Shippensburg. 269 James Linn Rodgers was graduated from Jefferson College in 1847, from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1850, licensed June 12, 1849 by the Presbytery of Carlisle, ordained May 2, 1851 by the Presbytery of Donegal to preach to the Presbyterian congregations of Donegal and Mount Joy, Penna., which charges he held from 1852 to 1856. From 1856 to 1857 he was stated supply at Sterling, Ill. In May 1857 he moved to Springfield, Ohio and together with Rev. Charles Sturdevant took charge of the Female Seminary, of which he was its Principal. In 1857 he became sole proprietor and continued so until 1871. During his connection with the Seminary he preached at various places in Ohio, and after severing his ties with the institution in 1871, he was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Yellow Springs, Green Co., Ohio, ten miles from Springfield, which was his last regular charge. He resigned about 1881, but preached as the opportunity offered until the day of his death. He filled the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church in Springfield on the last Sabbath of his life. A few days later he was stricken with heart failure and died suddenly. His service and faithfulness to his church was long and useful. He was eminently fitted for the duties of his ministerial calling, and was beloved by his people. He was strong in the doctrines of his church and maintained her ordinances during the years in which he taught her truths. His consecrated life bore testimony to the beauty of his religion. Although claimed by the Middle Spring Church as one of her sons and baptized by the Rev. John Moody D. D., his pastorates were far removed from the scenes and home of his childhood, yet he cherished the memory of places and things pertaining to the old landmarks in the Cumberland Valley where his forefathers lived and died. He was patriotic and rejoiced in the welfare of his country and growing prosperity of its institutions. Issue: i. Child, d. in infancy. ii. Child, d. in infancy. iii. ROBERT COCHRAN RODGERS, b.

Claverhouse bade him say his prayers for he had only a few minutes to live. He prayed with such fervor, that when Claverhouse ordered his men to fire upon him, they would 281 not do so. Claverhouse with a pistol and an oath, blew his brains out, in the presence of his wife. The widow laid down her child, tied up her husband's head with her apron, stretched out his limbs, covered him with her plaid, and sat down and wept bitterly. Without means, without a friend to help, and liable to be persecuted, she was at her wits end, but God cared for her and removed her to Ireland, where she found friends and married again." Their son John emigrated to America in 1720, settled in Dauphin Co., Penna. and his son James removed to Cumberland Co., Penna. John, son of James, was with the patriot army at Valley Forge, and his son James was the father of John C. Brown, who married Eleanor Quigley.

James Sharp Quigley took his wife to the Quigley home until the summer following their marriage, when they removed to their brick dwelling house within a short distance of the place where he was born. The farm was not divided until after the death of his father, and James and his brother, David worked together to make it produce bountifully. He and his wife were hospitable, and their fireside was a meeting place for hosts of friends who sought their genial society. He was respected and influential, and used his influence for the good of those in his community, who considered his opinion of inestimable value. Kind and charitable, he was a willing contributor to all worthy objects, and to the poor he gave abundantly, and helped them over many difficulties where judgment was needed. He never failed to do a favor, and well deserved the esteem accorded him. In politics he was a Republican. He was a faithful friend and helper. He and his family were members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, and he is buried in the graveyard at that place. His widow left the farm a year after his death and resides at Newville, Penna. Issue: i. JOSEPH SHARP QUIGLEY, b. Apr. 17, 1854; m. Oct. 5, 1893, Ella Gross, b.

She was endowed with a spirit of fortitude and courage, which made her life an example to others. For fifteen years previous to her death, she bore a great physical affliction, which prevented her from leaving her home. With marvelous resignation and calmness she maintained a cheerful countenance and a bright, gracious manner which welcomed many friends to her home. She was fond of her relatives and well versed in the genealogical data of her family. Her memory was wonderful. She was benevolent and full of sympathetic impulses. Her brightness was a constant incentive to noble living. Her years of affliction were a series of tactful kindnesses, and each heart was better and richer for having known her.

David Grier Quigley4 (Joseph Quigley3, Robert Quigley2, James Quigley1), was born November 13, 1830 near Quigley's Bridge, in Hopewell township, Cumberland Co., Penna., died July 14, 1882; married January, 1856, Cynthia Jane Hemphill, born October 24, 1832, daughter of Moses Hemphill and Margery Clark Hemphill. In 1853 David Grier Quigley's mother died, and two years later, his wife assumed the duties of housekeeper in his father's house, in which his father died in 1868. In 1853 the old Quigley mill was demolished and some of the timber was used in building his barn. The mill built by his grandfather was in operation for a number of years, its beams and logs were hewn from the huge forest trees along the Conodoguinet Creek. Although the mill is destroyed, the old bridge still continues its service, and conveys humanity and cargoes beneath its ancient covering, as in the days of long ago. In this, the youngest son of Joseph Quigley, was a strong type of manhood, with the traits and humor of his forefathers plainly visible. His fund of wit was inexhaustible, and even amid strenuous circumstances was not lacking. He was a friend who served to the utmost those who reposed confidence in him, and he never betrayed their trust. Kind and modest in intercourse, he was honorably esteemed. In politics he was a Republican. He was interested in the educational movements in his community, and urged every possible advance in methods of teaching and the extension of knowledge. He was a general favorite, his free, affable manner winning for him the good will of all with whom he came in contact. To the poor he was extremely charitable, and gave to those in need the most wholesome advice. He received and well deserved their respect. He was extremely social 287 and friendly, and the freedom of his home was extended on all occasions to friends and neighbors, who received the most thoughtful attentions from host and hostess. They were members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church, and he is buried in the graveyard at that place. His widow resides in Illinois. Issue: i. THOMAS McKINNEY QUIGLEY, b. Oct 28, 1857; m.

DEDICATION OF THE QUIGLEY MONUMENT. The light and shadow of more than a century of years fell silently across the unmarked graves of James and Robert Quigley and their wives, when their descendants, in loving remembrance of their worth and devotion in home and family, and in appreciation of the valiant services of their paternal ancestors in Colonial and Revolutionary periods, completed a long cherished plan to perpetuate their memories and engrave in stone a record of their names and deeds. James Quigley and his family, as members of the Middle Spring Presbyterian church and among the earliest settlers along the Conodoguinet Creek, were buried in the old graveyard, surrounding the original log meeting house on the bank of the Middle Spring. 288 The place of worship was thirty feet square, its floor of earth, rude benches made from slabs, the pulpit high against the wall with the precentor's desk beneath, no heating plant, no decoration to beautify the primitive plainness, nor conveniences to give comfort to the worshipers. In 1765 the original house, was replaced by a similar structure of logs forty eight feet square, to which a few years later were added enlargements on each side, and a gallery which was reached by two flights of stairs on the exterior of the building. The congregation increased so rapidly that a larger edifice was soon needed, and was erected of stone on an elevation to the east of the first site, which was replaced in 1847 by a commodious brick structure which overlooks the beautiful stretches of the valley. To the rear of the present church building are two graveyards, but around the old log meeting house clustered the oldest graves, many hundreds of them unmarked. Among the number were our pioneer Quigley ancestors, who were laid beneath the forest trees. The log church has long since gone to decay, the oaks have yielded to the axe of the woodsman, yet the flow of the Middle Spring is as sweet and musical, as when, with gun in hand, the early settler closed the tombs of his family. Prior to 1805 a massive wall of limestone was placed around the enclosure, within which are only one hundred and ten marked graves, the oldest bearing date 1770, yet there is not a foot of ground unoccupied, and an estimate of the burials reaches upwards of three thousand. Unlike most country cemeteries, it is kept in good condition, and the wall is in a state of perfect preservation, and corresponds with the one surrounding the burial ground nearest the present church building. In the summer of 1900, the descendants of James Quigley, through his son Robert, purchased and erected a monument of granite, which bears the following inscription: On the face of the marker: James Quigley died 1782. Ensign in Colonial service, March 25, 1756 in Rev. John Steele's Company of Cumberland County Rangers. [Image] THE QUIGLEY MONUMENT AT MIDDLE SPRING 289 Private in Revolutionary service, in Col. Robert Adams' Company, Sixth Battalion, Pennsylvania. Jennette wife of James Quigley. On the rear of the marker: Robert Quigley, son of James and Jeanette, born 1744, died September 1, 1815. In Revolutionary service, Lieutenant, Seventh Company, First Battalion, Cumberland County Militia, Pennsylvania. Mary Jacob, wife of Robert Quigley, born 1745, died July 9, 1821. _________ The dedication took place on the morning of September 27, 1900 when members of the family, and friends, assembled in the church at Middle Spring, and solemnized the occasion with interesting and impressive services. Rev. S. S. Wylie, the present pastor invoked the Divine blessing and addressed the audience in well chosen remarks. A hymn was sung, a history of the Quigley family prepared and read by Mr. Thomas McKinney Hays, of Newville, Penna., impromptu addresses by Mr. William McClelland of Shippensburg, Penna., and Mr. S. I. Irvine of Washington, D. C., at the close of which, the family joined in singing the familiar words "Blest be the tie that binds," and adjourned to the spot where the monument stands, sang the 100th Psalm, and Mr. Wylie offered prayer. In the grove adjoining the church, beneath the wide branching trees, that are lineal descendants of those which shaded the paths of our forefathers, with the sunlight of a bright September day streaming through the boughs, kindred and friends gathered at the noontide hour, and the bounteous repast, the reunion of families and exchange of genealogical lore will be to those who participated, a sweet remembrance, with the satisfaction of having paid a fitting tribute and erected a lasting memorial to a line of ancestors whom it is a privilege to honor.
