The bond in the amount of $500.00 was signed on 11 September 1816 with Jonathan Minshall, William Erwin and Robert Nicholson signing the bond. {Irwin is spelled with an I and an E in the document.)

Ref: History of Madison Co., Ohio, 1883, Chicage, W. H. Beers & Co. pg. 841; "The first settler that we have been able to gain any account of within the precincts of Oak Run Twp. was William Jamison, who came to this county from Kentucky and located just south of the mouth of Glade Run, about 1805. He purchased 200 acres of land, upon which he resided until his death. He became quite a prominent and prosperous farmer of that day. He md. Ann Brown of Brown Co., OH by whom he had 3 sons and 3 daughters; Ira the eldest son, became a Minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church and died in Hancock Co., OH. The second son d. young and William the youngest son arriving at manhood, emigrated west and is now a resident of Mt. Pleasant, IA. The three daughters were named Zelah, who md. a man by the name of Ferguson; Cynthia md. Levi Poulston, and the 3rd dau. (name forgotten) md. a man by the name of Foster. All three of the daughters are now deceased."

{The article may be in error in that Ann Brown md. William Jamison in Bourbon Co., KY and there is no record that she ever lived in Brown Co., KY; however her parents may have moved to Clermont Co., OH after 1806 from Bourbon Co., KY. Ann had four brothers who lived in Clermont Co., OH.}

Ref: William Jamison b. ca 1777 was the son of William Jamison b. ca 1746, Philadelphia, PA., d. 2 Dec. 1804, Ross Co., OH (will dated 29 Nov. 1804, on file at Ross Co., OH Courthouse); William b. ca 1746 was the s/o Robert & Sarah (McKee) Jamison who was md. ca 1771 to Susannah Lockhart b. ca 1750, Morland Twp. PA, d. 9 Feb. 1824, Ross Co., OH; children: Charles, William, John, George, Mathew, Jacob, Samuel, Merit, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Margaret. After the Revolutionary War, they settled in Bourbon County, Kentucky. They were living there during the years when the Indians were attempting to massacre all white settlers in that area. William was part of a party of surveyors led by Nathaniel Massie into Ohio. (Massie later wrote a book about the dangers they encountered during that trip, and mentioned William Jamison as being part of that party.) William and Massie both settled on land near Chillicothe, Ohio and the Jamisons moved most of their family to Ohio. (Evidently, some of the older children remained in Kentucky). William was one of the first white men to raise corn in that part of the country, known at that time as Station Prairie, in Ross County. They later moved to another farm, near Frankfort, still in Ross County. They were both buried in the family graveyard on that farm.

Robert & Sarah (McKee) Jamison represent the first generation of this family in the United States. They were both born in Ireland. It can be assumed that Robert's family lived in the Northern Ireland area around Ulster, because of their involvement with William of Orange and the battle of the Boyne in 1690. It is not known if they were married in Ireland, but one history lists Sarah as being from Philadelphia. They settled near New York City on the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. There they eight children, William, Arthur, Robert, John, Samuel, David, Thomas and Jane.

William Jamison served in the American Revolution as a Private in Captain John Loudon's Company, Colonel William Thompson's Battalion of Riflemen, Pennsylvania Line and in Captain Marpole's Company B. {This information was submitted by Mrs. Elizabeth (Clement A.) Cummings Sr., 158 West North Ave., Chicago 10, IL, 15 Spt. 1961 to DAR. She received DAR # 434359.}

Perhaps Zellah was living away from the home by 1820, and she could have been as she would have been around 16, or if Mary Ann had been born after the census had been taken, the census would seem correct. The census would indicated that Levica, Porterfield S. and Prior B. were deceased prior to the 1820 census.}

Misc. Notes
HISTORY OF RUSH COUNTY, INDIANA: From the earliest time to the present, with biographical sketches, notes, etc. Illustrated; Chicago: Brant & Fuller, 1888, p. 353. Bourbon County.

HON. BARKER BROWN was born in Bourbon County, Ky., December 5th, 1824, son of John and Polly (Searight) Brown, and is of Scotch-German descent. The father of Mr. Brown was born in Mason County, Ky., July 10th, 1792, and died April 7th, 1857, in Rush County, Ind. The subject's mother was born in Bourbon County, Ky., December 25th, 1800, and now resides in this county, near Milroy. The Brown family came to Rush County in 1825, and settled in Anderson Township. The subject of this sketch was the only child born to his parents. He was reared on the farm and received a good common school education, and at the age of nineteen years he began teaching school, which he continued for three years. In 1848, he commenced farming for himself and has since followed that vocation, and now owns more than 600 acres of land, and also one of the finest residences in Milroy. In January, 1887, he removed to Milroy, and in the following April engaged in the grain business in partnership with William Root. In politics, he was formerly a Whig, but since 1854, has been an ardent Democrat, and manifests an active interest in the affairs of that party. In 1850, he was elected Justice of the Peace, and served four years. In 1862, Mr. Brown was Citizen Wagonmaster of the Sixty-eighth Indiana Volunteers, and was taken prisoner near Mumfordsville [sic], Ky. In 1863, he assisted to drive Morgan from the state. In 1874, he was elected Joint Representative from the counties of Rush, Decatur and Ripley, by a majority of 750. In 1880, he was a candidate for re-election, and was defeated, and in 1882 was again nominated for Representative and a second time defeated by the Republicans. The marriage of Mr. Brown occurred in 1848 to Miss Nancy Farlow, a native of Rush County, who was born October lst, 1828, daughter of Hiram and Betsey (Townsend) Farlow, natives respectively of North Carolina and Kentucky. To this union four children were born, viz.: George W., Mary A., Elizabeth E. (deceased), and Joseph W. (deceased). Mr. Brown is a Universalist, and is a prominent and highly respected citizen. His portrait appears elsewhere in this volume.

Descendants

of

James & Rachel (Brown) [McArthur] Arthur

&

James & Anne (Osbourne) Arthur

1. Brown, Rachel b. 20 Dec. 1762, 2 p.m., near Moorefield, Hampshire Co., VA. (now Hardy Co., West Virginia), d. ca 1800, Clermont Co., OH. bur. on farm of brother, Joseph Brown, near Mulberry, Miami Twp., Clermont Co., OH, d/o Thomas & Mary (Ball) Brown md. 25 Nov. 1782, near Moorefield, VA (now WV) to James Arthur (McArthur) b. May 1764, Burlington Co., New Jersey, d. 29 Jul. 1856 Crawfordsville, Montgomery Co., IN., bur. Old Town Cem., Covington Street, Crawfordsville, Montgomery Co., IN, s/o James & Hannah (Stuart) McArthur.

Ref: James Jr. and James Sr. were Revolutionary War soldiers serving in the Virginia State Line as substitutes.

James Arthur had at least two sisters, Elizabeth and Lydia. They were mentioned in his 1828 and 1832 Revolutionary War pension application. The 1828 application gave their address as Clermont Co., OH. James likely had a brother, Abner Arthur, who was killed on 4 Aug. 1812 at the battle of Brownstown while serving as a member of the Williamsburg Company of Riflemen which was part of the Third Regiment of Ohio militia.

One sister, Elizabeth, we know nothing further after 1832.

One sister, Lydia md. 30 Nov. 1792, Bourbon Co., KY, to Laurance Hall b. 2 Jun. 1745, d. 22 Jun. 1823, Nicholas Co., KY. Marriage return was dated 20 Dec. 1792; A. McClure reported the marriage to Bourbon Co., Clerk, Thomas Reeder; Bourbon Co. Marriage Register 1790 - 1799. (In subsequent marriage lists McArthur has been spelled Maithere. I have a photocopy of the return list and feel that McArthur is correct. I suspect the marriage record compiler had trouble with the hand writing. Marriage Bond information taken from Bourbon Co., KY Marriages 1786 - 1851 lists Liddy McArthur's parents on the Marriage Bond as James & Hannah McArthur.)

Lawrence Hall served as an Ensign from Maryland during the Revolutionary War. He m1 Henrietta Sylvester.

Ref: Leslie Rawley l.rawley@worldnet.att.net gave the birthdate of Lawrence Hall.

Ref: Shirley Pierce (shirlann@worldnet.att.net) 1998, provided the following data re Lawrence Hall -- Lawrence Hall b. Inskip, Lanes (St. Michael-on the Wyre), England, d. 22 Jun. 1823, place unknown, md. ca 1770, Queen Anne Co., MD to Henrietta Sylvester who died ca 1779, MD. Other spouse was Lydia ???. Children of Lawrence and Henrietta (Sylvester) Hall were Sylvester b. 5 Feb. 1777, Queen Ann Co., MD, md. 30 Mar. 1797, MD, d. 30 Sep. 1827 (Shirley's line), Pettis Co., MO and Robert Hall (no other information).

Lawrence Hall's will written 16 Sep. 1811, named, wife, Liddy, Executor, five children, Lawrence Rubin Hall, Leuraney Hall, Loratta Hall, Ellinner Hall and Arthur Hall. Witnessed by George Barnett, Robert Barnett and John Fargueran. The will was probated in Nicholas Co., KY during the July 1823 Court. (Some of the children named may have been from the 1st marriage as Lawrence was 47 years of age when marrying Lydia McArthur. Lawrence makes reference to all of his estate located in the State of KY, as if he owned property outside of KY.)

Nicholas Co., KY marriages (1800 - 1850) reveal that a Ruben Hall md. 25 Jun. 1821 to Anny Mann; and to Mary Brook on 28 Apr. 1842; Eleanor Hall md. 20 Feb. 1832 to James McDannold; Leeretta Hall md. 15 May 1817 to Joseph Berry; and Autha Hall md. 10 Mar. 1831 to Dunlap Howe. There are many other Hall marriages and I am not sure if the above are children of Lawrence Hall. The Hall's married into the Parker Family who were also from MD. There is much more to learn.

I believe Ruben Hall husband of Mary Brook was the son of Ruben Hall and Anny Mann as a Ruben Hall is found in the 1850 Nicholas Co., KY census, dist. 2, pg. 403 as age 27, Farmer, b. ca 1823, KY, RE $3350.00; Mary Hall, age 28, b. ca 1822, KY; Milton, age 6, b. ca 1844, KY; Sarah E., age 5 b. ca 1845, KY; Olive F., age 1, b. ca 1849, KY; David Mann, age 18, b. ca 1832, KY, Farmer and Angeline Mann, age 12, b. ca 1838, KY.

Ref: Mary Carter cartercr@rma.edu indicated on 9 Feb. 1999, internet, that David Mann and Angeline Mann were the children of Jacob & Mary (Peyton) Mann. A Reuben E. Mann appears in the 1850 & 1870 Nicholas Co., KY census as son of James & Elizabeth (Stoker) Mann.

Ref: (HO1221958@aol.com Kathy ) Reuben D. Hall b. ca 1823, d. ca 1887, Nicholas Co., KY, md. 28 Apr. 1842 to Mary Brooks (1821-1892); Ch: Ollie F. Hall (1849-7 Jan. 1932); James Hall b. ca 1842; Mary B. Hall b. ca 1852; and Milton A. Hall b. ca 1848.

Ollie Hall md. 11 Jun. 1866 at Reuben Hall's home, Nicholas Co., KY to Jacob Hugh Campbell (28 Jan. 1846-3 Apr. 1919). Jacob Hugh was the s/o John W. & Elizabeth (Mastin) Myers. Jacob & Ollie lived in Millersburg, KY and he was an inspector for Hurst Home Insurance. Their children were: my great grandfather, James Wallace Campbell b. 8 Apr. 1867; William F.

James served 3 months in the infantry and 15 months in the Cavalry. James declared that he was married, had 2 blind sons, the two eldest and 2 daughters, that exclusive of the household property the value of his property was less than $295.

Clermont Co., OH Court PM4-337 & PW-B pg. 317/318; 14 Jan. 1818 names James Arthur as Administrator of the estate of Abner Arthur, deceased; Reuben Crossley, Thomas Brunton and Henry Donham to conduct an appraisal.

The appraisers reported they found no assets nor debts except for one debt in the amount of $60 with interest for eleven years and six months which amounted to $101.40. Donham and Crosley signed by their mark and Brunton by his signature.

{From the above two references I suspect that Abner was a younger brother to James and that Abner was b. 1770 - 1775. The above court documents do not mention a wife. If Abner was killed in 1812 and these proceedings do not take place until 1816, it is possible that the wife died ca 1816.}

On pg. 198, Everts 1880 History of Clermont Co., OH; Abner was killed on 4 Aug. 1812 at the battle of Brownstown during which period he was serving in the Williamsburg Company of Riflemen which formed a part of the Third Regiment of Ohio militia. In the march to Detroit the Company was attached to Colonel Cass' regiment of the First Brigade of the First Division.

James McArthur, father of James Arthur, b. ca 1730, Glasgow, Scotland, weaver, resided at Hampshire Co., VA. Ref: Revolutionary War Size Rolls, Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA -- A Register and Description of Noncommissioned Officers and Privates at Albemarle Courthouse, 1780-1781, Revolutionary Army, Vol. 1 -- Register (Accession #24296).

The above reference lists both James McArthur Sr., age 50, 5 foot, 4 inches tall, grey hair, (I can not make out the eye color but James Jr. had the same color, dark complexion, can not make out "Particular marks & features, Weaver, residence, Hampshire Co., VA, b. Glasgow, Scotland, indicates that he substituted for another on 11 March 1781 for 1 year and 6 months, can not make out the Corps or for the length; he was sized on 28 May 1781.

Ref: A family legend is that James McArthur, Sr. was born in Scotland and came to this country as a stowaway in a barrel. The method of passage to date has not been proven.

Ref: Joanna Jones – JJones3413@aol.com – Internet message dtd. 18 Dec. 1999 – I saw a story in the Clermont Co., Genealogical Society Newsletter telling of the practice of using barrels of goods – Usually cracker barrels, in which to hide from the ships authorities and the penalties for getting caught. Apparently the crew forced all passengers to the deck then went below, turned barrels over, used sticks to poke bundles, and boxes – in order to flush out stowaways. Some people died because they dared not call out after having the barrel turned over – and then suffocated from the crackers, or whatever. It was an interesting article – and I read it right after I read your account of the ‘barrel journey’. I guess it could have really happened as your story tells! Did you notice his DOB? Sixteen years before the battle of Culloden. Bet I know why he left Scotland… If that is the case – I’m glad he got to be there at Yorktown to witness the fall of the Brits!! Justice!!

Ref: History of Clermont Co., OH, Everts, J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia, 1880, pg. 198 lists James Arthur serving as Sergeant along with James Robb, Hezekiah Lindsey, Isaac Ferguson in Captain Robert Haines' company of mounted volunteers, which served in the State of Ohio, in the year 1813, on a tour of duty for the relief of Fort Meigs and Fort Stephenson. They served from 27 July until 13 August, a period of sixteen days. (This must have been our James. He would have been close to 50 years of age. I do not think the other Arthur family had moved to Clermont Co., this early. James's son would have been too young. In addition, he was serving with neighbors and relatives.
