| 2101 | Friends gave her a surprise (Press-Democrat Special.) Fairmount, Ill., Sept. 2. - One of the most delightful entertainments of the season was the birthday surprise on Mrs. Geo. Hedge last Sunday, at her home northeast of the village. The event was planned and executed by her husband and daughters. While Mrs. Hedges was busily engaged in serving dinner to some friends who had accompanied her home from Sunday school and church, her friends to the number of seventy-five or more slipped into the front rooms of her home and came marching out to the dining room with her mother in the lead, which, by the way, was a great surprise, the latter having come out from Danville. The afternoon was spent in a social and religious way. About 4 o'clock the crowd repaired to the front yard where some fifteen or twenty minutes was devoted to song and prayer, and the breaking of bread, which was presided over by Rev. Scott, of Danville, after which the remainder of the evening was spent in song, and social conversation, and the eating of cream, cake and candy and fruit, and a general good time was enjoyed by all. One singular feature connected with their gathering was that the hostess was surprised on her 18th birthday in 1888, in the same house where she now lives. Mrs. Hedges was the recipient of many beautiful pieces of china. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges. No publishing information available. | Gritton, Cora Belle (I91)

| 2104 | From "The History of Methodism in Kentucky" by The Rev. A. H. Redford, D.D., Vol. II, Nashville, TN, 1869, pages 346 to 352: Absalom Hunt was born in Virginia, December 4, 1773, and emigrated when a youth to East Tennessee. From thence he came to Kentucky, and married in 1793. We have no information as to the date of his conversion, but at the time of his marriage he was a member of the Church and a professor of religion. He settled in Fleming County, where he was licensed to preach, but subsequently he removed to Bath County, where he labored a few years very usefully as a local preacher. It was not until he had passed the meridian of life that he became an itinerant. At the Conference of 1815, he was admitted on trial. His first appointment was to the Madison Circuit. In 1816, he was placed in charge of the Lexington Circuit, where he remained two years. Mr. Hunt continued to travel as a preacher, filling the Minkstone, Limestone, Mount Sterling, and Fleming Circuits, until 1823, when he was placed on the superannuated roll. At the ensuing Conference, with his health somewhat improved, he was appointed to the Liberty Circuit, and the following three years as a supernumerary to Paris, Lexington, and Minkstone. Unable longer to perform ministerial labor, except occasionally in the neighborhood in which he resided, in 1828 he returned to the superannuated list on which he remained until the 21st of February, 1841, when he closed his earthly pilgrimage. Absalom Hunt was born 4 Dec 1773, in the Shenandoah Valley close to Romney and Winchester, Frederick County, VA. His marriage to Miss Hester Foster in 1793 is recorded in Bourbon County, KY, Vol. 22, P. 57. "Register of Kentucky Historical Society". His will is recorded in Book D, p.168, Bath County, KY. For Hester's will see Will Book E, p. 451; Settlement Book 22, p. 163. Absalom Hunt was a Methodist minister, as were his brothers Lewis and Reuben. Lewis was a circuit rider in Ohio; Absalom rode the circuit in Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Finley's "History of Methodism in Kentucky" gives a sketch of his life, also the different charges he had during the time of his ministry. He was a Presiding Elder and presided at the Lexington Conferences of 1817 and 1818; at Kingston, KY 1819; at Mt. Sterling in 1821; at Fleming, KY in 1823; at Liberty, KY in 1824, at Paris, KY in 1826. In 1826 he was sent back to Minkstone. Absalom Hunt owned a plantation. He often went to Cincinnati on buying trips. He and his brothers were tall, strong, had blond hair, and were of fair complexion. SOURCE: May Cooper Burnham, Tulsa, OK. 1960. In his will he left his estate to his widow and one dollar to each of his surviving children. It is believed he died from the complications of a stroke.

| 2105 | From 1671 Census of the Delaware, by Peter Stebbins Craig. Anders Stille, Swedish, apparently had just married. (#162 in the census) Wharton enters the words “Anna Peterson marryed to Andreas” with no last name given to the husband. The man was Anders Stille (son of Olof Stille), who testified on 17 October 1683 “that he has been 25 or 26 years here in town.” The wife was Annetje Pieters, daughter of Pieter Wolfertsen van Couwenhoven, who had purchased a lot northwest of Beaver Street at Hart Street in 1669. At the time of this census, her father ( a brewer) was languishing in debtor’s prison in Manhattan, as a result of a lawsuit by Philip Carteret. In 1667, when a resident of Elizabethtown, East Jersey, van Couwenhoven had mortgaged all of his property ot Carteret and was unable to pay off the mortgage. After Pieter van Couwenhoven’s New Castle property was sold in 1673, Anders Stille and his wife Annetje moved to the Christina River with John Ogle, John Arskin and Marten Gerritsen. Anders died before 1693, survived by sons Jacob and Johan Stille and at least one daughter. Opposite the brewer Pieter van Couwenhoven’s property was an empty lot between Beaver Street and the Mart, for which a patent was given to Jean Paul Jaquet bearing the date of 1 May 1671. This was soon acquired by the English soldier John Ogle, not listed in Wharton’s census, who married by the end of year Anders Stille’s niece, ElisabethPetersdotter, daughter of Ella Stille and her first husband Peter Jochimsson. | Stille, Anders (I5286)

Declaration In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress June 7 1832 State of Kentucky County of Scott On this the 26th day of March 1839 personally appeared in open Court before the Magistrate Court of Scott County, Kentucky now ????? Solomon Jarvis a resident of the County of Scott, State of Kentucky aged upwards of eighty years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. That he was a soldier of the Revolution and made application some years ago while living in Fleming county Kentucky for a pension and refers to his Declaration and the evidence on file for evidence of his services by reason of his great age and loss of memory he is now entirly unable to state his services on the time he made application for a pension but does well know that he was in the Revolution as stated by him in his former Declaration and that he made an application for a pension as stated and of the impression that he proved his services by James Rigdon and Hannah Jarvis among others who had a personal aquaitance with and knowledge of his services who have both since departed this life and he knows of no person by whom he could prove his services at this great length of time nor any person that knew him during his services during the war of the Revolution and he prays that the best evidence that can be produced may be received and a pension granted to him a poor soldier of the Revolution. He herby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension and or annuity except the present and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any state. Sworn to and subscribed the day ???? and year aforesaid. Solomon Jarvis I Lewis Jarvis of the County of Scott and State of Kentucky state that I am a son of the said Soloman Jarvis and believe the Declaration made by him to be the truth. I know he was considered to be a man of Truth repectability and Piety at the time he made his Declaration in Fleming Co. Kentucky in order to obtain a pension and I was informed and believed that he proved his services by James Rigdon and Hannah Jarvis who were know to me by the advantage of several years acquaintance and I believe both sustain the character of persons of respectability, truth and piety. I have heard the said Soloman Jarvis speak of his Revolutionary services from my early recollection up to the present time and I most truly concur in the opinion that he was a soldier of the Revolution as stated by him and that he is now upwards of 80 years of age and in consequence of his great age he has almost entirely lost his mind and memory and is unable at this time to detail any circumstances correctly. He is entirely unable to state the length of time he served in the war of the Revolution or the time he applied for a pension and will have to rely alone upon his former Declaration and the evidence in his case for a pension. I have been informed and believe it to be the fact that the said James Rigdon and Hannah Jarvis both departed this life by whom he proved his services. Sworn to and Subscribed the day and year aforesaid.

| 2110 | From Ancestry Family Tree of Matthew Witte. Family tradition says the Hunts eventually left Tennessee because of lack of salt. John Hunt was listed on the 1790 Bourbon County, Kentucky census. According to a lawsuit filed by his heirs in 1810, John Hunt purchased 1,000 acres in Bourbon County, but the land was later discovered to be part of a tract of land covered by Wright's Military Survey. In disgust, John Hunt then moved to Fleming County, Kentucky. His heirs were seeking to recover losses from this land. https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/collection/1030/tree/112707860/person/120102110381/media/cbef7186-2bab-400d-9dd2-747667a0e493?galleryindex=2&sort=-created In the complaint of a Harrison Co., KY lawsuit brought by the heirs of John Hunt, Sr. against Thomas Jones, Jr. (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS4X-KSJJ-9), the heirs are listed with the stipulation that they were the "whole and sole number of heirs" of John Hunt, Sr.” They only included: Reuben Hunt, Basil Hunt, Absalom Hunt, Winnefred Hunt Titsworth (wife of Benjamin Titsworth), Dardana [sic] Hunt Denton (wife of Joseph Denton). John Hunt, Jr. (Lewis Wilson Hunt was deceased at this time and would not have been listed.)

| 2144 | From Reflections of yester-years, page 117.: Between 1911 and 1914 William Smith operated the saw and grist mill at Burdin, not only sawing logs, but grinding glour, meal and chop from grain. The family lived for a period of time in the house just north of the mill. It was here in 1913 that his grand-daughter, Corothy (Thorne) Turner was born. William's daughters, Lola, Sophia and Maude were operators in the telephone exchange. Lola recalls that she was on duty when the Purdin School burned. Every drop on the board fell, so she could not answer all the calls. Lola was also a seamstress in the upstrains shop in the Purdin Mercantile. Later she went to people's homes, sometimes a week or more at a time, fashioning new clothes and getting their wardrobes in shape for the new season. | Smith, William Richard (I31)

| 2149 | From Taking The Longer View: Swedes on the Delaware Per Stille of Humbl, Roslagen, Sweden and his son Per February 13, 2018 takinglonger (1) Comment Per Still was a prosperous farmer in the 1570s in Roslagen, eastern Sweden.1 His name was on a 1571 tax list of people in Solo, a farm belonging to Penningby Manor.(2) The amount of tax shows “a very good economic position in comparison with the average peasant in the region”.(3) In the list of church tithes for 1590 his name is missing, but the name of “Mrs. Brigitta” appears, probably his widow. By 1596 the name Per Stille appears again on the bailiff accounts, probably a son of Per, with the same name. In 1601 lists were kept of people who were fed on the estate. Brigitta and Per appear several times. “The other farmers who were fed at the manor were (in contrast with Stille) never listed by name, but only as statistics. Stille thus appears to have held a unique position among the farmers… [possibly] the supervisor of the estate.”(4) In 1609 the younger Per was listed as having a wife. After 1627 he was no longer on the Solo list, but on a different island, Humblö. “Apparently he has left the post of estate supervisor, and received the right to live on the latter island as a kind of pension.” By 1628, he is listed as “old Pär Stille” and by 1635 his name is gone and another man is living on Humblö.(5) The name of Per Stille’s wife is not known. From the names of three of her granddaughters, her name may have been Christina.(6) Per and his wife are believed to have had at least six children. Three who did not immigrate are linked by estate records: Kerstin, Johannes and a sister who married a Larsson. When the inventory of Kerstin’s estate was taken in June 1670, Johannes was named as her brother and two Larssons are named as heirs, Witt Johan and Per. It is noticeable that these are people with white-color jobs. Witt Johan is an accountant and his brother Per is a customs inspector.(7) There are also three siblings who did immigrate: Anna, Olof and Axel. They are documented in the records of the ship manifest in 1641 and in New Sweden, where Olof was a prominent figure.(8) All six of them seem to be about the same generation. Anna was having children by about 1626 and Olof was married by 1632. Johannes was a student at Uppsala in 1625. Presumed children of Per and an unknown wife:(9) Kerstin, d. before June 1670, m. Nils Andersson Stake; a “naval artillerist”, he died before Sept 1667, when inventory was taken of his estate for the benefit of his widow. She had a stepdaughter Margareta Nielsdotter, and had been married previously, before the marriage to Stake.(10) Johannes Peter Stille, d. 1672, married the daughter of his predecessor at Funbo. In the record of Kerstin’s estate, he was called the “worthy and learned Mr. John Stille”. Known child: Christina. Anna, m. Måns Svensson Lom before 1626. Immigrated in 1641, settled on the Delaware River. He died in 1653 and Anna married Lars Andersson Collinus, a minister. Children with Mäns: Margaret, Catherine, Peter, Anna, Beata, Christina, Sven, Helena, Maria. A sister who married a Larsson. Had two known sons, Witt Johan and Per, named in the record of Kerstin’s estate in 1670. They were grown by 1670, and must have been born before 1650. Olof, married by 1632, immigrated in 1641, died about 1684. The name of his wife is not known. They had four known children: Ella, Anders, Christina, Johan.(11) Axel, immigrated in 1641, a younger brother of Olof, alive in 1684. No children. Olof was one of the most colorful of the early Swedish settlers. Because of some early court records we know some of his adventures. “Although Olof Stille was on good terms with Erik Bielke, who inherited Penningby in 1629, he did not think well of Bielke’s wife, Catarina Fleming. At the Norrtälje fair in 1636, Olof Stille indiscreetly voiced his opinion of Lady Catarina Fleming, who retaliated by prosecuting Olof for defamation and took his property at Humblö. When Olof refused to leave the island, he was imprisoned. After securing his freedom, Olof and his family resettled in Matsunda, where he was joined by one of his former servants named Anders. Lady Fleming, now a widow, had Anders seized on 18 March 1638 and imprisoned at Penningby under the claim that Anders had broken a verbal agreement with the late Lord Bielke to be their servant. Olof Stille heard the news the next day, entered Penningby Castle by a secret door, broke the lock to the dungeon with his axe and then fled, with Anders carrying the axe and Olof his own rapier. On complaint from Lady Fleming, the Governor issued an order for Olof Stille’s arrest on 28 March 1638 – the same day that the first expedition to New Sweden was landing at the Rocks. At the trial on 13 April 1638 Olof Stille was convicted of burglary and sentenced to death by the sword. The appellate court, however, modified the sentence to a fine of 100 daler silver money, the equivalent of 17 months pay for a New Sweden soldier. Three years later, in May 1641, when the Charitas departed for New Sweden, the passenger list included Olof Stille, a mill-maker, his wife, a daughter aged 7 and a son aged 1 ½. Also on board were Olof’s younger brother Axel Stille, and the family of Måns Svensson Lom, whose wife appears to have been Olof’s younger sister. His older brother, Johan Stille, later pastor at Fundbo, 1644-1672, and his sister Kerstin remained in Sweden.”(12) Once in this country Olof, his brother Axel, and the Lom family settled in the present-day Chester County, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the Delaware River. According to Craig, “the Indians were frequent visitors to Techoherassi and liked Olof Stille very much, but they considered his heavy, black beard a monstrosity and conferred a strange name on him because of it.” Olof was a millwright, a rarity in the colony. He was a leader among the colonists. He presented the list of grievances in 1653 to Governor Printz, who considered this an act of mutiny. Fortunately Printz was soon replaced by Governor Rising, who was more conciliatory. In fact in 1656, when the first Swedish court was organized under Dutch rule, Olof Stille was named the chief justice.13 He served for eight years, which must have been a satisfying turn of events for such a troublemaker. In 1657 the magistrates for the South River were Olof Stille, Mathys Hanson, Peter Rambo and Peter Cook. Peter Rambo and Peter Cock continued to serve in various capacities for years afterwards.(14) Olof died about 1684 and was survived by at least four children (Ella, Anders, Christina, and John).(15) The name of his wife is not known. His brother Axel did not have children. 1. Fritz Nordström, “Olof Stille of New Sweden”, Swedish American Genealogist (SAG), 1986, 6(3), originally published in 1947-48 (?), available online. Nordström and his two brothers owned Penningby Manor in the 1880s. He became curious about the Stille family when an American descendant visited the manor. Nordström researched the Swedish records, including court and tax records.

| 2150 | from the Association of Philippe du Trieux Descendants Philippe du Trieux was born circa 1588 at Roubaix, France (Wallonia). He fled to Amsterdam as a refugee of the ongoing religious wars (and the only male remaining of his family); there he married Jaquemyne Noirett (born circa 1592 at Ryssel (Lille), France, married 1615, died circa 1620 at Leiden, Netherlands). Philippe du Trieux died on September 8, 1653 in New Amsterdam. He was also known as Philip de Truy. He emigrated from Leiden, Netherlands to New Amsterdam in 1624 with his second wife, Susanne du Chesne. They married in 1621. He and Susanne had one child and he had three with his first wife Jaquemyne. It is believed that Jaquemyne and her deceased husband, Philippe du Trieux, were the parents of Philippe du Trieux. The deceased husband mentioned in the Leyden Church record seems to have come from Norwich, England. A colony of Flemish weavers had introduced the manufacture of woolens at Worsted, England which is about 13 miles from Norwich. This suggests that it is possible this suspected father of Philippe was a worsted worker. It is further theorized that upon his death, his widow returned to the continent with their son Philippe. Philippe was a dyer from Robey (Robaix) which was located in Northern France (Flanders in Philippe’s day) and well-known for its dye works. It is not known who Philippe’s parents were. The Leyden Church granted Philippe and his family letters of attestations on March 9, 1624 (as “pour Westinde” which meant he intended to go west) to present to his new church at his destination. Two and a half weeks after Philippe and his family received letters from their church (March 28, 1624), the future colonists who were to go to “The New Netherland” met and were given instructions from the Van Rappard document (now in the Huntington Library in California). It is not known if Philippe and his family were among these. No passenger list of the voyage of “The New Netherland” is known to have survived but it is generally accepted that Philippe du Trieux and his family were on board among the 30 families which were mostly Walloons. The Captain of “The New Netherland” (Nieu Nederlandt) was Cornelis Jacobz May of Hoorn. They sailed in the beginning of March and went by the Canary Islands, steered toward the west coast where they gained a west wind which took them to the river called Rio De Montaagnes (River Mauretius). The ship sailed up to the Maykens 44 leagues. They built a fort named “Orange” which had four bastions on an island they called Castle Island. Wiley believes that all of the Walloons of the company settled on Long Island at Waal-Bogt (Wallon’s Bay) which is now Wallabout. However, there is no definite account of the disposition of these families. More people came in 1625 bringing tools and livestock.In May 1626 another band of colonists arrived along with Peter Minuit who had been given the power to be Governor and organize a government. He built Fort Amsterdam on the southernmost point of the island. Philippe received a patent for lands in ‘Smits Valley’ in 1640. Ref: “Hudson and Mohawk Valleys”, P. 272 – Truax – The patronymic De Trieux or Du Trieu is probably derived from the Village of Trieu (in southern Belgium). It is from De Trieux that the names Du Trieu, De Truy, Truax, Truex, etc. are derived. Individuals bearing the original form of the name abound in the Walloon Church Registers of the Netherlands as early as 1584, wandering from city to city and from country to country, evidently in search of business employment. Anciently the Walloons were the race who inhabited parts of France, the Alps and the Danubian Valley. They eagerly embraced the Reformation, which was eventually crushed out by Charles V and Philip II, and hundreds of thousands of the Walloons sought refuge in neighboring countries; 100,000 exiled families settled in Holland. The Netherlands historian, Asher, declares that the whole greatness of Holland sprang from her hospitality to these exiled Walloon families. Philippe was in New Amsterdam during Minuit’s Administration (1624-1629). When arriving in New Amsterdam Philippe and Susanne built a house on Bever Craft (Beaver Street). This was one of the first, if not the first, house to be built on Bever Craft. In 1683 Philippe was appointed Court Messenger in 1638 by Governor Kieft (who became Governor in March 1638). The salary for the Court Messenger (or Marshall) was “two thirds as large as was received by the Magistrate.” In 1640 Philippe received a patent for land in Smits Vly (or Valley), although it is known that this parcel of land was in his possession as early as 1638. The land adjoined Secretary Van Tienhoven’s farm and occupied partly by Fulton Market in later years. A map of New Amsterdam as it was in about 1644 shows a large tract of land on the east side of the island marked “land of Philip de Truye”. It is assumed that Philippe was living on this land at Smith’s Valley because of a contract he made with Claes Groen and Pieter Lievesen to graze their goats for a year at the cost of one guilder per year per goat. This contract was entered upon the Register of the Secretary of the Council. Philippe leased or contracted to sell this house to Nicholas Stilwel. In 1649 the records show Nicolas Stilwel promising to furnish Henry Bresar with palisades enough to fence the premises along the River Road and within two years to furnish enough to fence the other sides of the land. In consideration for which Bresar acknowledges that he “has taken off the hands of Nicolaes Stillwell the land and dwelling house in question”. Bresar seems to have remained in possession of the place until 1653 when he built a new house a short distance beyond the ferry on some land which he had acquired there and the former dwelling house of Philip De Truy, after one or two intermediate changes, was bought in August 1654 by Thomas Hall. Philippe Du Trieux was killed by Indians as was his son Philippe on or before September 8, 1653. Some believe that Indians were not the guilty parties. Philippe’s exact date of death is not known. The records show that on September 8, 1653 “Carel Van Brugge, Pltf. vs. Isaac D’Foreest, Deft. as Vendue-Master of the personal estate of Pieter Cornelisen, mill-wright, demands payment of fl. 59.8 for goods purchased at public vendu. Deft. acknowledges having purchased the goods, but says, in the name of Philip D’Truy’s widow, that her son Philip, who was also murdered, had earned fl.100 monthly wages of Pieter Cornelisen deceased, which are still due him. Deft. is ordered to prove at the next court day his demand against the State of the above-named Pieter Cornelisen deceased.” On October 23, 1654, Susanna De Scheve, widow of Phillippe De Truwe, late Court Messenger at New Amsterdam, confers power of attorney upon her son-in-law Isaac De___. ?????? Philippe could have been dead as early as March 16, 1651 when a certified copy of a note of Alexander Boyer was made in favor of Susanna Du Truy. It is doubtful that she would have had to conduct this business if her husband had still been living. From the House of Truax edited by Howard S.F. Randolph from a manuscript ty T. de Truax in the possession of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. The dates of their membership into the church at Leydon is given as August 15, 1617 https://www.philippedutrieux.com/how-we-got-here/about-philippe-du-trieux/ | du Trieux, Philippe Antoni (I5790)
