150 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY February 8, 1911. This court has earned a reputation for care and ability in the consideration of cases, and its decisions as published in the law journals and reports have a high reputation all over the state. PROBATE COURT. Under the territorial laws there was a probate court in each county, and Bezaleel Wells acted as judge from 1797 to November .29, 1802, when, the court being abolished by the new Constitution, all its business was transferred to the court of common pleas. Nine wills were filed during this period, being those of John Cross, John Horton, James Armstrong, William Carr, William Sharon, John McGuire, James Milligan, James Jackson, and Nathaniel Simms.

Jacob Martin, William Wells and Alexander Holmes appear to have acted as a 152 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY board of county commissioners by appointment under the territorial organization, and on May 10, 1802, they met for the purpose of settling accounts with the tax collectors.. Among others John McElroy, collector for Warren Township, produced a discharge for the year 1798 signed by William Bell and Benjamin Doyle, two of the former commissioners. On May 12, the secretary was ordered to draw and sign all orders on the treasurer for all wolves, and panthers, scalps. On July 7 it was agreed to levy a tax of $1,000 on the county, and fixed the following rate of taxation.: Each free male above the age of twenty-one years, 25 cents ; each horse, 20 cents ; cow, 8 cents ; bond servants, 50 cents ; houses, lots, mills, etc., 33 1-3 cents on each $100 appraised value. Ferry licenses on July 7 were fixed as follows : James Ross and Bezaleel Wells, ferry opposite Charlestown (Wellsburg), $8; same at Steubenville, $8; Jacob Nessley, mouth of Yellow Creek, $6; Philip Cable, John McCullough, John Tilton, Andrew Campbell, Thomas Harper and Isaac White, $4 each. Ferriage rates were allowed at 6 cents a person from April 1 to December 1, and 9 cents from December to April, man and horse 12 1/2 cents and 18 3/4 cents. It will be remembered that there were half cents,. "fips" or 6 1/4-cent, and "levies" or 12 1/2-cent coins in those days, so that a rate of 31 1/4 cents for a cart, sled or sleigh involved no special difficulty in making change. Half these rates were allowed for transportation across creeks. In 1806 an order for $2.50 was granted in favor of Rachel Shaw for attendance as a witness on the trial of Anthony Beck and others for killing William Crocket. On May 1 of same year Samuel Fleming was given $300 as part payment due him for building a new jail, and James Ross was allowed payment for fixing the locks. On June 9 Fleming received an additional $150, and on September 2 his balance of $250 with a. further extra of $18.50 on December 1. On Monday, October 12, 1807, Thomas Gray was awarded the contract for build ing the court house for $2,199.991/2. He also purchased the log building adjoining the court house on March 8, 1808, which had been occupied by the jailer. April 1, 1824, the commissioners purchased of George Marshall :1.23 acres of land in Cross Creek Township, being the Mary. McGuire farm at $22 .per acre for an infirmary for indigent persons. The buildings then standing were utilized. In that year there were nine paupers, and in the next year eighteen, five of whom were discharged and one eloped. On June 10 it was ordered that John Twaddle be allowed $100 to be paid quarterly out of the county treasury for keeping six blind children. Samuel Filson was appointed measurer to keep the standard half bushel measure of the county. Payments for wolf and panther scalps were numerous, in fact, this seemed to be the principal expenditure of the county.

CHAPTER XI RECORD OF PATRIOTISM Soldiers of Five Wars—American Revolution—Second War With Great Britain—Mexican War- The Great Civil Conflict—Daring Deeds of Mitchell Raiders—Morgan's Raid—Spanish War. Jefferson County has a military record of which none of her citizens need feel ashamed. From the nature of the case nobody enlisted from her territory during the War of the Revolution, but it was the rendezvous of more than one expedition during that period, and Clark's body of pioneers who wrested all this Northwest from British control and saved this county and state to the American government, passed along the whole water front of the county, and probably made more than one landing along the shores. One of his soldiers, John McGuire, had numerous descendants in Jefferson County, and there were others, such as John Sherrard in the Crawford expedition of 1782, these being only illustrations which might be considerably multiplied. At the outbreak of the War of 1812 the situation was somewhat different. Although far from being thickly settled yet the county, which was somewhat larger than at present, was fully organized, and being not far from the frontier was naturally called upon for men. A regiment of fourteen companies, 1,065 men, was organized, and did good service. The regimental officers and those of thirteen of the companies were as follows : Lieutenant-colonel, John A. Andrews ; majors, Thomas Glenn, James Campbell, George Darrow, Jacob Frederick; adjutant, Mordecai Bartley; surgeon, Thomas Camp bell ; quartermaster, Jacob Van Horn; sergeant-major, John B. Dowden ; quartermaster-sergeant, John Patterson ; drum-major, John McClintock; fife-major, John Niel.

John Ward left with a company towards the close of the war, but before it reached the front word was received that peace had been declared, so they returned home. MEXICAN WAR. At the great soldiers' reunion at Steubenville in 1879, J. R. Marshall, of Dublin, Ohio, furnished a full and complete sketch of the Steubenville Greys, who represented Jefferson County in the Mexican War as Company I of the Third Ohio Regiment. The officers and members of this company were as follows : George W. McCook, captain promoted to lieutenant-colonel. John Kell, Jr., captain. O. C. Gray, first lieutenant, promoted to adjutant. Francis Marion, second lieutenent, resigned August 10, 1846. E. F. Hooker, second lieutenant, promoted from sergeant. Dr. J. C. Cable, third lieutenant. Sergeants, William H. Harlan, Andrew J. Dick, John M. Todd, Leonard Stulger. Corporals, George O. Toms, J. R. Marshall, William B. Richardson, David S. Fressinger. Privates, Jacob R. Aalt, Harvey Alton, James W. Anderson, Richard Atkinson (discharged September 13, 1846), James Broady, John L. Blackburn, James M. Blackburn, Edward Brown, William H. Binns, John Crawford (died at Fort Brown, Texas, August 5, 1846) ; Charles Conley, William Cordel (died at Coma rgo, Mexico, April, 1847), Benjamin NI. Culbertson, Jonathan Chambers (died at Fort Brown, August 10. 1846) ; Edward Elliott, Isaac B. Fisher, Thomas Fedeley, Robert Ferguson, John Gossett, Albert 156 - HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY Galloway, Robert Greenham, Lorenzo Gregory, David Harper (discharged at Cincinnati, July 3, 1846), John Hatch (discharged same day), Samuel Henderson, S. P. Hains, Francis Hardy, John Hanson, Charles Hayes, Thomas Hogue, James Harris (discharged at Fort Brown, August 10, 1846), Thomas Johnson reported deserted at Matamoras, Harup L. Joy, Oliver King, Samuel Leighman, John Moreland, Joseph Morrison, David Maxwell, Alexander McDonald, Joseph McAlpin, Charles McGlisson, George McGary, Moses McFarrier promoted to drum-major, Fairfax W. Nelson, Henry Newell, Samuel Russell, Thomas L. Robinson, Andrew Scott, Thomas Stewart, John Stone transferred to Company K, Charles Sweeney, Robert Snider, Charles Steele, Blasius Spinharney, Ephraim Stonecipher (second corporal discharged September 13, 1846), A. Slee (discharged at Matamoras January 10, 1847), Nimrod Teaff, Robert Thompson (died at Matamoras January 18, 1847, and buried at Camp McCook same day), Nicholas Trapp, Stephen Todd (second corporal discharged September 13, 1846), Hezekiah Vannati, William H. Irwin. There were three deaths from sickness, nine discharges for disability and sickness, and one desertion through the persuasion of an elder brother, who was leading a frontier life in Texas. Most of the illness was chronic diarrhoea, and every man was on the sick list at some period. Isaac B. Fisher was a remarkable instance of extreme emaciation. From Mr. Marshall's diary we learn that the Greys left Steubenville on June 4, 1846, on the steamboat "Wisconsin." The company numbered sixty-four men, including non-commissioned officers, and arrived at Cincinnati on the 6th, where they went into Camp Washington, four or five miles out of town. Some recruits from Piqua brought the force up to sixty-nine men. Company I had been fully equipped on leaving Steubenville with tents, mess chests, pans, etc. They left Camp Washington on July 3 as part of the Third Regiment Ohio Volunteers, and took passage with four other companies on the steamer "Tuscaloosa" for New Orleans under command of Colonel Curtis. The other division, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel McCook, took the steamer "New Era." They arrived at New Orleans July 10, and camped on the battlefield, Camp Jackson, four miles below the city. On July 13 they embarked on the brig "Orleans" and anchored off Brazos Island, Texas, July 20. Four days later they were taken off by steamboat and landed, when they marched to Fort Brown near the mouth of the Rio Grande opposite Matamoras, Mexico, where they arrived August 5. On August 18, Jonathan Chambers died and was buried the same day. That night the regiment crossed the river and established Camp McCook on Mexican soil. The third regiment was placed in General Taylor's division and called the Army of the Rio Grande. On February 2, 1847 it left for Comargo, 160 miles distant on the San Juan River three miles above where it enters into the Rio Grande, where was a partly finished fort called Ohio. On February 17, three companies, including Company I,. left Comargo under command of Colonel McCook to garrison the town of Meir, and perform escort duty from Comargo via Meir, Senalvo and Monterey. General Santa Anna was advancing with 20,000 men on Taylor and Wool at Buena Vista, and on February 25 communication was cut off from General Taylor. McCook's force was ordered back to Comargo, where on March 7 was received news of the victory at Buena Vista on February 22 and 23. Orders were given to advance on Monterey forthwith, and they started with some Virginia troops and others with 123 wagons of supplies for General Taylor. There were plenty of rumors of attacks by Mexicans but none of them materialized, and relief was afforded Major Iddings of the First Ohio who was hemmed in at Senalvo and out of ammunition. After anxiously expecting one of these attacks they met General Taylor, who had become a terror to the Mexicans. A force of the enemy was pursued to Cadeveta, and some wounded AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS - 157 prisoners recaptured, and the company marched to Buena Vista, arriving there on March 25th. Here they remained until May 18, when they were discharged with the thanks of the Commander, General Wool. They reached the mouth of the Rio Grande on June 5, and sailed on the 7th on the schooner Bounty for New Orleans, where they arrived on June 15. The regiment was mustered out on June 21, and the men reached home about two weeks later, after an absence of a year and two months. WAR OF THE REBELLION. The morning papers of Monday, April 15, 1861, contained President Lincoln’s proclamation announcing the fall of Fort Sumter, and calling for 75,000 volunteers. Early in the day the old court house bell called the citizens together, and work of enrolling and drilling commenced at once. On the following evening there was a more formal meeting at the court house at which an addition of forty-eight names completed the first company which was fully organized the following day, the 17th when its date of service began. As arrangements had to be made for transportation and other formalities complied with, the company did not get away until Friday, the 19th. At 12 o’clock noon on that day the company formed at old Kilgore Hall, now National theatre, and marched down Market street to the law building below Third recently razed. Here an immense crowd had assembled, and Mrs. Mary K. Means, on behalf of the ladies of the city presented the soldier boys with a handsome flag, the response to her patriotic address being made by Capt. Anson G. McCook. The men then marched to the C. & P. depot at the foot of South street, waiting for the train bearing other members of the First and Second Ohio regiments from Cincinnati and Columbus. Soon the last handshake was given and the last cheers resounded as the train pulled out for the East. Of course this was a sample of what was taking place all over the North. On the previous Monday morning there was practically not a soldier north of the Ohio or Potomac. Before the week was out there were near a hundred thousand. These two regiments went into camp at Lancaster, Pa., where they were fully organized and mustered into service on April 29th. From there they went to Washington and participated in the first battle of Bull Run, in which fortunately none of the Steubenville company was killed, although two were captured and remained prisoners until January 11, 1862. The company was mustered out July 31, and most of the men re-enlisted for three years. Following is the roster of Co. H, 2d. O. V. I. Anson G. McCook, Captain; Thos. A.

Early in 1864 the organization of the Ohio National Guard was completed under the state laws for home defense, a similar organization having been formed in several other states. As the season advanced it looked as though the Union forces really had a death grip on the rebellion. The Mississippi Valley was open to the Gulf. Sherman was working towards Atlanta and Grant was confronting Lee, preparing for what was believed to be the final struggle. But the national armies had been depleted by disease and battle and their very successes only furnished more territory to garrison and lines of communication to guard. It was believed that could all the veteran troops then occupied for these purposes be allowed to go at once to the firing line it would result in the prompt termination of the war. But who were to take their places ? Governor Brough, of Ohio, grasped the situation and met the governors of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin in conference at Washington. The result was a tender, on April 21, of 30,000 men from Ohio, 20,000 from Indiana and Illinois each, 10,000 from Iowa, and 5,000 from Wisconsin, to serve one hundred days. The offer was joyfully accepted, and by Monday evening, May 2, there were 38,000 Ohio soldiers in camp ready to be sent wherever needed. The Thirty-ninth Battalion was composed of eight companies from Jefferson Conty, and the 88th of two companies from Carroll. These were consolidated into the 157th Regiment, O. V. I., popularly known as the National Guard. The regiment was ordered to Baltimore and from there to Fort Delaware, where it guarded some 14,000 rebel prisoners. It was mustered out at Camp Chase, September 2. FIELD AND STAFF OFFICERS. Colonel, George W. McCook; Lieutenant-Colonel, John Morrow ; Major, William Herron ; Surgeon, William M.
