    Judge William P Springgate, farmer, was born in Mercer County, Ky., in 1816, and is the son of William Springgate, a native of the same county, who removed to St. Louis County, Mo., in 1822, and from there to Greene County, Ill., in 1887, where he died in 1868. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and a farmer and wagon-maker by occupation. The mother's maiden name was Gritten; her father was a Revolutionary soldier, and immigrated from Virginia to Kentucky soon after the War for Independence. He and his wife walked the distance on foot, and carried all their possessions on their backs. They were among the early settlers, and he was a familiar companion to the celebrated Daniel Boone, and lived to the ripe old age of one hundred and fourteen years. William P. lost his mother when about two years old, and remained with his father until grown, receiving but a limited common-school education, which he walked a distance of three miles to obtain. He was married, in St. Louis County, Mo., in 1838, to Miss Ann, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Sullins. To this union were born three children, two now living: Amanda, wife of Richard Zumwalt, of Osage County, and Marcelus. Mr. Springgate lost his wife in 1854, and two years later he married Miss Sarah, sister of his first wife. Five children were the result of this marriage, four now living, viz.: William, Ferdinand, Sterling and Virginia. In 1844, previous to the death of his first wife, our subject removed to Franklin County, and located twelve miles southeast of New Haven. In t864 he came to New Haven, and has since made that city his home. He was made farming his chief occupation, and in it has been successful. In 1854 he was elected county judge and re-elected in 1858. In 1862 he declined a renomination, but in 1866 was elected to the same and served one tern, and was afterward appointed to fill an unexpired term, making nearly sixteen years' service in all. He has since served as marshal of the city of New Haven, for four years. He was reared a Whig, and his first presidential vote was for Gen. Harrison, in 1840. but some time prior to the war identified himself permanently with the Democratic party. He is a prominent church member, and his wife belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Springgate's father settled in St. Louis County when the city of St. Louis was a mere French hamlet, and he distinctly remembers when there was but one brick building in the place, and that but one story, and an inferior affair altogether. Comparatively few men have lived as long in the State as has Mr. Springgate, he having been an inhabitant of the State since he was about six years old, or for about sixty-five years.

  8. 9.  Levi Pete Gritton Descendancy chart to this point (1.Elizabeth1) was born in 1790 in Mercer County, Kentucky; died in 1845 in Washington Township, Linn County, Iowa.

    Notes:

    I believe that following news article referes to Levi Pete Gritton as he is the only Levi Gritton who matches dates and locations of the story.

    Louisville Daily Democrat. 4 December 1845. Page 3
    New Harmony, Indiana, Sept. 10th, 1842.
    Sir: - Your kind invitation on behalf of the State Central committee of Pennsylvania, to unite with our fellow citizens throughout the Union, in the approaching celebration at Danville, of the anniversary of the memorable battle of the Thames, has been duly received. I deeply regret that my duty as Trustee of the State University of Indiana, which imperatively requires my attendance at Bloomington, during commencement week, (five days only previous to your celebration,) compels me to forego the gratification I should have experience in meeting, on such an occasion, the disingnished [sic] men who will assemble, amonst [sic]whom is our valued fried, Co. R. M. Johnson.
    Since I have alluded to the death of Tecumsah by Col Johnson's hand, I may be pardoned on this occasion, for alluding, in proof of a fact which nothing but party jealousy ever disputed, to evidence of the most direct character, which chance enabled me to procure, and which was never before, as I know of, laid before the public.
    Levi Gritton, an humble farmer, now living about three miles east of Evansville, in this state, was present, then quite a youth, at Winchester's defeat; was taken prisoner and carried to Malden and had there frequent opportunities of seeing Tecumseh, and of receiving at his hands, a degree of kindness, not imitated by those who called themselves the civilized allies of the Indian chief. Tecumseh's appearance then, was stamped upon Mr. Gritton's recollection, by that which is never forgotten, kind deeds to a captive in a strange land. After a time, an oath was tendered to the prisoners at Malden, not to serve again. Gritton and two others, who refused to take it, were hurried to Montreal and sold to a French trader there; but after five or six weeks captivity, Gritton seized a skiff, descended the St. Lawrence, and returned by way of Buffalo, after enduring many hardships, to his home in Mercer county, Kentucky.
    Then he enlisted as one of McAffee's company, and was afterwards present at the battle of the Thames. These particulars, and those I am about to relate, I had from his own lips, noting them down at the time; and after reading them to Gritton, causing him to append to them his signature.
    The young soldier, then not yet twenty-one was elected as one of the forlorn hope which, as every one knows, was led up against the Indians, in advance of the mounted men by Col. Johnson in person. Next to Col. Johnson, rode Col. Whitley, and immediately behind him Levi Gritton. Whitley as is well know, fell dead at the first fire; and it was Gritton who afterwards carried home to his widow the rifle and shot pouch of the fallen soldier. The same fire which killed Whitley, brought to the ground every man of the forlorn hope, Col. Johnson, and one other excepted. Gritton received a wound in the left leg, and had his horse shot from under him. When Col. Johnson turned round and saw the forlorn hope down, he called out to the rest of his men, to dismount and fight the Indians after their own fashion. Each who was not disabled then took to a tree; and a desultory combat was kept up for some quarter of an hour; Johnson's men still advancing from tree to tree upon the Indians. About that time it was, that Gritton who had taken his station behind a beech, saw col. Johnson ride round the top of a fallen tree about ten or twelve yards in advance of him, and perceived an Indian who he instantly recognized as Tecumseh, standing a few steps from the root of the same tree. He saw Tecumseh raise his tomahawk as in the act to throw, and at that moment Col. J. shot him with his own pistol. He saw Tecumseh fall and die on the same spot. Next morning Gritton's men, knowing that he was acquainted with Tecumseh, induced him to go with them about sunrise to the scene of the combat, and there they still found the body were it first lay. About the same time Anthony Shane, the half breed interpreter, who had known Tecumseh for years visited the body and recognized it instantly. I asked Gritton if he had ever heard it doubted in the army, that Tecumseh was the Indian shot by Col. J.

    Notes:

    From History of Vermilion County. By H.W. Beckwith. Chicago, Illinois, H.H. Hill and Company, 1879. page 887.
    J.R. Gritton came here from Kentucky in 1840, and bought land of the estate of Abram Rees. Mr. Rees owned a farm on section 23, and while at work building a mill at Denmark, died. Mr. Gritton had a family of five children, only three of whom survive. One was killed a year since by Mr. Clem, in a difficulty growing out of the lease of a piece of land. One of Mr. Gritton's first acts, after coming on to his farm, was the selection and planting of an excellent orchard, which, owing to his good judgement and care, was for a long time a source of increased revenue. Gritton's orchard was known far and near as one of the best in this neck of woods. He never has been a member of any church, but his conversation shows that he has a true appreciation of the results of a sincere religious life in a community like this. The now aged couple are saddened in their last days by the tragedy which took the life of a dear son.

    (LKH Note: The son who was killed was Milo B. Gritton whose widow, Ellen Gerrard, later married Samuel Shumate.)

    LILLARD
    A death that has brought deep sadness and shock to her numerous friends was that of Mrs. James M. Lillard last Thursday, who took her life at her home on the Burgin and Shakertown pike. Mrs. Lillard was about 50 years of age, a lovely and lovable woman, but for sometime past she had not been well, suffering with nervous depression that was unusual to her nature, but the result of an attack of influenza last winter. Just after noon, last Thursday she went to the attic of their pretty bungalow home, and when Mr. Lillard missed her about a quarter of an hour later and went in search of her, he found her suspended from the rafter by a small rope, which she had placed about her neck and evidently thrown her whole weight upon, for life was gone when he loosed the cord. Mrs. Lillard was formerly Miss Nannie Gritton and a splendid woman who was held in the highest esteem by every one who knew her. Sometime ago their home on the Jackson pike where they had been living for about twenty years, was sold and Mr. and Mrs. Lillard moved to the handsome bungalow which they purchased from Mr. Gwinn, on the Burgin and Shakertown pike, and since then her nervous depression seemed to have increased resulting in temporary insanity. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church in this city, conducted by Rev. J. J. Rice, and the interment was at Spring Hill cemetery. Besides her husband she is survived by an only daughter, Mrs. R. Sprole Lyen, of this county.

Also surviving are six devoted grandchildren, Edward Lee, Martha Sue and Al Ray Taber, and Edwin, John Lee and Suehelen Gritton; seven nieces and five nephews, most of whom reside in his home state of Kentucky. Many other relatives, a host of friends and loving neighbors will miss him for to know him was to love him. His parents, four brothers, one of them his twin, and three sisters all preceded him in death.
    He joined the Methodist Church of Salvisa, Ky., very young in life and remained a staunch worker for his Lord until the end.
    After moving to the Western part of the United States with his young family, he was ordained a Methodist minister and followed this work many years before ill health forced him to retire.
    In the early twenties he moved from the west to an Ozark farm in Texas County, near Arroll, Missouri, where he lived, until he and his wife moved with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Becker to Mountain View about six years ago.
    Funeral services were held at the Mountain View Methodist Church Wednesday afternoon with the Rev. Neal Neff officiating. Burial was in the Arroll Cemetery.

He would have been 80 years old had he lived until next March, having been born March 28, 1856. He was one of a family of two boys and six girls only one of whom remains, Mrs. Annie G. Dorna, now living in Toronto, Canada. Among others to mourn his death are four daughters, Mrs. Holman Hogue, Mrs. F. D. Royce, Mrs. H. D. Ransdell, and Mrs. Hugh Ison; 21 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. His name is associated with the roll of the Christian Church of Harrodsburg, in which city and surrounding territory he leaves a host of acquaintances and friends. He was ever a friend to one in need and a good neighbor. Funeral services were held at the Harrodsburg Christian Church Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, the Rev. T. Hassell Bowen, pastor, and Rev. M. T. Hart, pastor of the Danville Christian Church, officiating. Burial followed in Spring Hill cemetery.

    Death of an Old Resident.
    Mrs. Mary Sivey died at her home 527 north National avenue yesterday morning. Mrs. Sivey was 76 years of age and has lived here for years. The funeral will be held at the residence this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. C.L. Milton of the Christian church.
    The Fort Scott Republican, Fort Scott, Kansas. Thursday, 13 March 1902.


    $1,600 Is Missing.
    Mary Sivey Had That Amount Before She Died.
    Sewed Up In Mattress.
    Was There Thirteen Days Before She Passed Away – Heirs are Investigating the Case.
    There is something of a mystery surrounding the disappearance of $1,633 from the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Sivey, the aged woman who died at her home on the north side on the 12th day of last month.
    It is claimed that the money was taken from the mattress upon which she died sometimes shortly before she died or directly thereafter. At any rate the money was there several days previous to her death and it is claimed that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. The original amount was $1,783, so the story goes, and when it was looked for after her death there was but $150 left. The case is being investigated and there may be some arrests or civil proceedings instituted by the administrator when one is appointed.
    It was not generally known that Mrs. Sivey was possessed of much of the world’s good, but J.R. Sivey, one of the heirs to the estate, who is up from Pittsburg investigating the matter gives out the statement that his mother had a large amount of money. According to his story she had $1,783 secreted in the mattress of her bed and that it was sewed up securely so that it would have been impossible for any common burglar to have stolen it. He is authority for the statement that the money was there thirteen days before his aged mother died and that afterwards it suddenly disappeared. That was the last he and other member of the family saw of the roll of greenbacks, the money all being in bills of small denominations, the largest said to be $20. He also says that he and three of his brothers, C.M., R.C. and Scott Sivey saw the money in the mattress when they realized that their mother could not live, and that it was replaced in the same position that it was when found. On the same day of the funeral he says, they went to look after the personal effects and the money and discovered to their surprise that all by $150 of the money had been taken. He says he has his suspicions but in the absence of any proof he cannot make any direct charges. The pocket book in which the money was secreted was found in the loft of the house where she died.
    The deceased had nine children and all of them will come in for a share of the estate when it is divided they were up in Judge Cheney’s office last evening preparing the proofs of claims and making ready to apply for the appointment of an administrator of the small estate, and the matter of the missing money will be investigated.

    Marion L. Gritton, one of South Danville's oldest and most respected residents, died yesterday morning at 5;15 o'clock, after a very short illness.

    Laban Gritten is classed among the leading farmers and stock raisers of Pilot Township, he having contributed much towards making it a great agricultural center. His farm on section 22 is comparable with the finest and best in this section of Vermilion County, is so cultivated as to produce large harvests, and its buildings and all other appointments are first-class. Mr. Gritten has evolved this desirable farm from the wild prairies of Illinois, as they were many years ago, before they had been changed by cultivation, it having been government land when he purchased it more than thirty years ago, and situated in the midst of a sparsely populated, scarcely civilized country.
    Mr. Gritten is a Kentuckian by birth, born in Mercer County, Jan. 19, 1832. His father, John R. Gritten, was born in the same county in 1807. He married Nancy Atkinson, who was born there in 1806, and they came to this county with their family in 1842, and located on a farm of 120 acres, pleasantly situated in Blount Township, where they have built up a comfortable home, and now, in life's decline are enjoying the hard-earned fruits of their united labor. Three of the children that have blessed their union are still living: Ann, residing in Danville Township, is the widow of Frank Watson, of Ohio, and has five children - William John, Nancy J., Margaret and Martha; Lloyd married Sarah Gritten, daughter of one of the first settles of the county, and they have four children - Wesley, Annie, Ella and Elisha; Laban is the subject of this sketch, and we write further on him.
    We have seen that his parents brought him there in pioneer times, when he was a mere lad, and here they bred him to a life of usefulness, and fitted him for an honorable career, and to their careful training he doubtless owes much of his prosperity. He became many, self-reliant and a good worker, and in early manhood prudently invested his money in government land, proposing to make farming his life work, and purchased 320 acres of land at twenty-five cents an acre. He now has the land all under excellent cultivation, and has greatly increased its value by the many fine improvements that he has made, including substantial buildings, etc. He does a general farming business, has his farm well stocked with stock of high grades, from the sale of which he makes good profits, and he raises a good deal of grain and other farm produce, from which he derives an income amply sufficing to carry on his agricultural operations in good shape, and for all his personal wants.
    Mr. Gritten has been twice married. His first wife was a Miss Sarah Potter, who was a English descent, and her father, an early settle of this part of Illinois, took part in the black Hawk War under General Taylor. Five children were born to our subject in that union, of whom one died; the others are Orsmus, Charles, Edward and Thomas. Orsmus, a carpenter in Danville, married Miss May Gritten; Charles, living with his father on the homestead, married Matilda Gritten, and they have seven children - Clarence, Arthur, Orsmus, Elzora, Oliver, Ross and Rock. Edward, a farmer in this, married Miss Bell Davis, of Ohio, and they have one child, Jesse B.; Thomas, a blacksmith at Bixby, married Martha Schank, and they have three children - Earl, Maude and Olive.
    For his second wife Mr. Gritten married Miss Lydia Pile, a native o Breckenridge County, Ky., and of their eleven children the following five are living: Oracena, Alvina, Jacob, Eli and William.
    William and Elizabeth Pile were the parents of Mrs. Gritten, the father a native of Virginia, the mother a native of Kentucky, and both are deceased.
    Mr. Gritten may well be proud of his farm, whose increased value is due to his hard labor and excellent business capacity and management. He possesses sober judgment, keen discernment and a resolute nature that has overcome all obstacles in the path to success. In his political views he sides with the Democrats, and give his hearty approval to party measures.

She was born in Hardin county, Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, and came with them to this county in 1841. They settled in the locality north of the city where she had always lived. Sixty years ago she became the wife of Francis Watson, a pioneer's son.

    Pioneer resident died yesterday.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, resident of Vermilion county since 1841, passed away at her home.
    Mrs. Ann Watson, known to many of her friends and acquaintances as "Grandma" Watson, passed away yesterday morning, April 6, 1918, at 11:10 o'clock. The death of Mrs. Watson who was one of the oldest pioneer residents of Vermilion county, occurred at her home, nine miles north and one-half mile west, of Danville. She passed away in the house in which she had lived for more than a half century.

    While Mrs. Watson had been in ill health for some time, due to the infirmities of old age, her death was unexpected and came with startling suddenness to her relatives and wide circle of friends. She was apparently in her usual health when she arose yesterday morning but was stricken with an attack of heart trouble shortly before 11 o'clock and died within a few minutes.

    Born in Kentucky
    Ann Gritton was a native of Kentucky, and was born in that state on Sept. 9, 1833, the daughter of the later John R. and Nancy Atkinson Gritton, pioneer residents of that state. When only eight years old the deceased came to Vermilion county with her parents, and settled on a farm in the vicinity in which her death occurred. That was in 1841, when Indians roamed the prairies of this state, and Danville was a village of less than 100 inhabitants.

    Ann Gritton was united in Marriage to Francis Watson, a member of a pioneer family, more than sixty years ago, and they went to housekeeping on the farm where the aged woman died yesterday. Seven children were born to Mrs. Watson. Two died in infancy. The surviving children are: Mrs. Nancy DeMoss, Mrs. Sarah Ann Smith, Mrs. Mattie I. Moss, William and John F. Watson.

    The husband died thirty -one years ago, and since his death the widow with the assistance of the sons, had conducted the farm. Mrs. Watson was an estimable woman and was greatly beloved by her neighbors and friends. She had always been active in church work and in sickness or death was among the firs to visit the afflicted home and offer her services.

    Funeral Monday.
    The funeral of the aged woman will be conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock, old time, the residents of the neighborhood in which she lived having failed to adopt the new time. Rev. Clay F. Gaumer, pastor of the Alvin M.E. church, will have charge of the services, which will be held from the Union Chapel, and the body will be laid to rest in the Johnson cemetery.

    An old feud, growing out of the renting of a farm in Vermillion County, terminated at Danville, on the 19th, between David Clem and Milo Gritton, by the former cutting the latter's throat, he dying instantly, Clem receiving a gash in his bowels which is liable to prove fatal. Clem has resided in that county for a great many years, and was at one time a candidate for Sheriff, though of late years his influence has been on the wane.

    About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit, and the rencontre was occasioned by a lawsuit regarding this division.

    From Ear to Ear.
    Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
    Danville, Ill., September 19. - About 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 15th, a fight took place near Danville, in which David Clem cut Miles Gritton's throat from ear to ear, from which he died immediately. Clem was also stabbed in the bowels, whether by himself or Gritton is not known. He will probably die from the effects of his wounds. It seems Clem had rented a farm to Gritton and they had a difficulty in dividing the fruit. This morning Clem met William Watson, one of Gritton's witnesses in a suit which terminated unfavorably to Clem, and they engaged in a hand-to-hand fight, when Gritton, who was sowing wheat in a field near by, came over to help Watson. Clem at once made for him with the result as stated above.

    Death Of Fletcher Fairchild
    Fletcher Fairchild died at the Territorial Insane Asylum on Sunday morning, the 22nd inst.,and was buried at Phoenix on Monday. Mr. Fairchild had been in failing health for two years past and had been gradually failing.
    On August 16 he was adjudged insane and was sent to the asylum. He was elected sheriff of this county at the last election, but was never able to assume the duties of the office, though he qualified and was nominally sheriff until August 16.
    He was a native of Illinois, but his life was spent in the west, and in every place he resided he had served as a peace officer. He came to Arizona from New Mexico about sixteen years ago, and nearly all that time held an appointment under the sheriff. He was a popular and efficient official and won a reputation as an officer who never let his man escape. Deceased was about 48 years of age and leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss.
