History and Genealogy of the John Hagaman Branch of the Hagaman family

Written and compiled by Benjamin Franklin Hagaman

FOREWORD

This booklet History and Genealogy of the John Hagaman Branch of the Hagaman family which was written and compiled by Benjamin Franklin Hagaman with the help of his daughter, Nellie Hagaman Stark, has been compiled under adverse circumstances, because of the family being so widely scattered. Therefore it is not claimed to be exactly authentic, but as nearly so as circumstances would permit. In all research work we have tried to get data required. In some instances we have failed. For these, which further research work may gather, with other added items of interest, and corrections of errors, a later edition might be published. For any mistakes we may have made we are truly sorry, and to all who contributed information, or funds, we are very grateful. The booklet also includes a short sketch of the Thomas Hagaman Branch, written by Harriet Hagaman and a genealogy of both families, together with a genealogy of the John Hagaman Branch of Carrollton, whom we feel are related. We dedicate this work to the memory of those Ancestral Pioneers who helped in the building of a nation on this Western Continent.

"At the beginning of life we choose our end. By the choice of every day we determine what we shall become."

THE WEAVER

"My life is but a weaving

Between my Lord and me;

He chooses all the colors

And works on steadily."

"Oftimes He weaveth sorrow;

And I, in blinded pride,

Forget He sees the upper,

And I, the underside."

"Not till the loom is silent.

And the shuttles cease to fly.

Shall God unroll the fabric,

And show the Unknown Why."

"The dark threads are as needful

In the weaver's skillful hand,

As the threads of gold and silver

In the pattern He has planned."

SKETCH OF THE JOHN HAGAMAN BRANCH

OF THE HAGAMAN FAMILY

A LETTER TO THE HAGAMAN CLAN

To My Kindred:
These facts concerning the early history of the John Hagaman branch of the Hagaman family, and which I pass on to you, are given as I remember them having been related to me by my mother, and other members of the Hagaman family, together with facts obtained in research work, court records, etc. Away back in early Colonial times, the Ancestors of the Hagaman family emigrated to America from Holland, that little country bordering the east shore of the North Sea, whose people are noted for their integrity, uprightness of character, their industry, fortitude and thrift. Of such ancestry any family might well be proud, and such character emulate. Across the Atlantic they came, braving ocean dangers of that early day. Here, on this then wilderness continent they sought homes and happiness for themselves and their children, having embraced, and brought with them, the principles which have ever dominated the people of Holland.

How many westward moves these ancestors of ours made after their arrival here, before settling in the State of Pennsylvania, we do not know. Tradition says, that at what is now Hagerstown, Maryland, there was, in very early days, a settlement of Hagamans, the eldest of whom owned all the land, and that, just previous to his death, he destroyed all papers, so that the Hagamans who lived there would not lose their homes. Our ancestors may have been among these. However, of this, we have no authentic record. The first place of residence here, of which we do have record, was in the State of Pennsylvania. So we will say that somewhere in the State of Pennsylvania they founded homes for themselves and their families. Then sometime, in the early part of the 18th century, John Hagaman, my grandfather, and a brother of his, whose name I do not know, following the lead of the early pioneers, came pn into the Ohio country, which to them was then the "Far West." In what is now Carroll County, 0., near a little town called Perrysville, these brothers established homes. What later became of this brother I do now know. Grandfather John brought with him to this new home as his wife, a woman whose maiden name was Mary De Groff. To them during those years of adventure a number of children were born. I had been led to believe that these were, six sons, John, George, James, Jackson, Jesse and Amos. These are characteristic names in the Hagaman family and have been passed on from generation to generation. These were the only children of grandfather John, of whom I had any knowledge, until recently, July 9th of this year, when in company with my wife, daughter Nellie, and son Clyde and wife, I visited Carroll County in an attempt to locate my birth place, of which I had heard so much from the older members of the family. At Waynesburg, 0., Mrs. Luella MarMarshall, granddaughter of Jesse Hagaman, joined our company, and we visited the Recorders Office in Carrollton. In a search of the records we found to my surprise, that my father's home had also been the home of grandfather John, and that this land had been deeded to my father, Amos, by the Hagaman heirs in 1849. Another surprise awaited us when we found that there were two sons and a daughter of grandfather John of whom we had not known. We also found that grandmother's given name was Mary, and this we had not known before reading the record. A copy of the record follows:

In 1830, Andrew Jackson, President of the United States granted to James McLaughlin by Patent deed, the East half of the South-east quarter, O Section 12, Township 13, Range 6, containing 74.79 acres in what was then Jefferson Co., Ohio.

In 1833 James McLaughlin conveyed same to Andrew Forman.

In 1838 Andrew Forman and wife conveyed same to John Hagaman.

In 1849, John Hagaman Heirs, by Sheriff of Jefferson Co., transferred same to Amos Hagaman.

James M. Thomas, Sheriff

of Jefferson Co., 0.

Amos Hagaman

To All Whom These Presents

Shall Come, Greeting:

Whereas, on the first day of July A.D. 1848 Jackson Hagaman filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County, Ohio, his petition for Partition against Mary Hagaman, widow of John Hagaman, deceased; Nathaniel Fields and Elizabeth, his wife; Michael Hagaman; George Hagaman, John Hagaman, David Hagaman, James Hagaman, Amos Hagaman, and Jesse Catrell, demanding partition of certain real estate hereinafter mentioned and

particularly described and also of a certain other tract of land situate in the County of Jefferson, of both of which tracts the said John Hagaman died seized and whereas such proceedings were had on said petition that at the September Term of said Court, A.D. 1848, the sheriff of said county of Jefferson was ordered to sell said real estate at public auction whereupon the said sheriff, in pursuance of said order, and having caused the same to be duly advertised as required by law, did on the 5th day of February, A.D. 1849 sell one of the tracts in said Petition described and hereinafter particularly mentioned at public auction, to one Amos Hagaman, at, and for the sum of Three hundred and seventy-eight dollars, which said sale was afterwards, to-wit, at the May term of said court, in the year Eighteen hundred and forty-nine approved and confirmed and the said Sheriff ordered to Execute and Deliver a Deed in fee simple to the said Amos Hagaman, the purchaser, for the real estate so by him sold, as aforesaid. All of which will more fully and at large appear, reference being had to the records and proceedings of said Court.

Now, therefore Know Ye, that I, James M. Thomas, Sheriff of said county of Jefferson, in consideration of the premises and by virtue of the powers in me vested by law as such Sheriff, and under and in pursuance of said Court, do by these presents, grant, bargain, alien and convey unto the said purchaser, Amos Hagaman, of Carroh County, Ohio, and unto his heirs and assigns forever, one of the tracts in said petition nicirtioned and so as aforesaid by me sold to him, and which is described as follows, to-wit: The East half of the Southeast Quarter of Section twelve (12), Township thirteen (13), and Range Six (6), of the Steubenville Lond District, lying and being in the County of Carroll, in said State. Containing Seventy-four (74) acres, and seventy-nine one hundredths of an acre, more or less, being the lands patented to James McLaughlin and by him conveycd to Ardrew Foreman. who conveyed to the said John Hagaman, Deceased, with all and singular the privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging.

To Have and To Hold the said premises unto him, the said Amos Hagaman, and unto his heirs and assigns forever.

In testimony Whereof, I hereunto set my hand and seal as such Sheriff this fifth day of June, in the year Eighteen Hundred and Forty-nine.

Signed, sealed acknowledged and delivered in the presence of: Moses Dillon, James McKinney.

James M. Thomas Sheriff of the County of Jefferson (Seal) The State of Ohio, Jefferson County, S.S.:

Before the undersigned authority on this the fifth day of June, A.D. 1849, personally appeared James M. Thomas, Sheriff of Jefferson County, who acknowledged the signing sealing and delivery of said deed to be his free and voluntary act and deed as such Sheriff.

Given under my hand and seal officially, this 5th day of June, A.D. 1849 (Seal)

James McKinney, Justice of the Peace

In a further search of the records we found that it was in 1830 that President Jackson, President of the U.S. granted to James McLaughlin by Patent Deed this tract of land. It was conveyed by McLaughlin, to Andrew Foreman in 1833, and in 1838 Andrew Foreman and wife conveyed the same to John Hagaman. Whether this was the year that grandfather came to Ohio we cannot say, but it is the first date we have of any transactions.

Then in 1849 as aforementioned this tract was conveyed by heirs to my father Amos. Those on record whose signatures were on the deed as heirs were: John Hagaman (Eldest Son), Mary Hagaman (My Grandmother), Elizabeth Hagaman Fields (daughter), Jackson Hagaman (son), Michael Hagaman (son), George Hagaman (son), David Hagaman (son), James Hagaman (son), Amos Hagaman (son), Eliza Hagaman (probably, for Jesse Catrel, grandson). From this we judge that grandfather John died about 1847 or 1848. The two sons of whom we had not known, were Michael and David, and the daughter, Elizabeth, who married Nathaniel Fields. Eliza, who signed the deed, was probably the widow of Jesse Hagaman, as his signature is not recorded, and she may have signed as guardian for Jesse Catrel her grandson, for we have it on record that his grandmother Hagaman raised him, his father John Catrel, having died when he was quite young. This, however, is a matter of conjecture and we leave it a problem for those interested to solve.

In a further search of the records we found transfers of this Hagaman homestead down to the present owners, which transfers were as follows:

Amos Hagaman sold same in 1853 to John Butterfield; same to John Graham; same to Alex Graham; same to Elizabeth Elliott; same to Charles Gotschall; same to W. E. and Roy McIntosh, the present owners.

We located these present owners and found that they do not live on the us the location of the farm. However they gave us the location of the farm, which lies one mile north, and one mile west of Perrysville. Having found the location we visited this site of my birth, and I stood on the ground on which our log cabin home once stood upon the floor of which, my first baby steps were taken, for it was in that log cabin home that I first learned to walk. The house has been torn down and the logs of which it was built were used in the building of two log cabins at Stony Lake Summer resort. This lake, covers a part of the farm which was once owned by Mrs. Luella Marshall's grandfather, John Catrel, and on this farm her father, Jesse Hagaman Catrel, was born. This farm joins the old Hagaman farm on the east, and brother John and sisters Nancy Jane and Mary, were early playmates of this cousin of ours, Jesse Catrel. About 50 feet to the northwest of where the cabin stood, is a massive rock upon which the older children played. This rock in my judgment would weigh around 100,000 tons, and any descendants of the family who would care to visit the site of their ancestor's home, would be thrilled by this massive rock, which stood as a sentinel over that log cabin home.

The hearthstone of the old fire place, which once reflected the heat and glow of the fire in the fire place, which upon cold wintry days, gave warmth and comfort to the family, still rests in its place, though now is crumbling. The barn, which stands across the road from where the house stood, and which once sheltered the live stock belonging to grandfather John, and my father, is in a state of decay, but the stalls where once the horses stood are still there. The old spring house, which is just back of the massive rock, is in a fairly good state of preservation considering the length of time which has elapsed since it was built. The spring flows on, though, as far as I have any knowledge, all the Hagaman clan who quaffed of its cool sparkling water, except myself, have passed on. We were given the location of the cabins which have been built from the logs of this Hagaman home, and we could see them from the north shore of the lake. One by one the family of grandfather John drifted away from this, their early home in Carroll Co., and of some no trace can be found. Anyone into whose hands this booklet finds its way, who can give any information concerning members of the family should report the same. By chance we have found those whom we believe to be descendants of John, the eldest son of grandfather John, of whom we had lost all trace, and with the help of these we have traced their ancestry back to grandfather John, of Carroll Co., 0. This eldest son, John, is said to have lived for a time after supposedly leaving Carroll Co. (probably about 1849) in Jackson, Ohio. Leaving there, he settled at Big Branch, two miles from Chesapeake, 0., in Lawrence Co., on a farm, about 1854. Here, the remainder of his earthly life was spent, and the log cabin in which the family lived on this farm near Chesapeake, still stands, a monument to those who once called it home. He was twice married, having had one daughter, Sarah, by his first wife who was a Miss Fields, or Simons. Both names have been given us. Which is correct we cannot say. He later married Sarah Hyett and five sons and three daughters were born to them. Sarah died from blood poisoning resulting from a scratch of her pet cat. Their children were Anna, Elizabeth, Jacob, Harriet, Taylor, John, Hiram, and Elijah. Of these children, but one, John Hagaman, now in his 87th year, survives, and resides in Chatsworth, 111. John, the father was interred in Union Cemetery, Chesapeake, 0., where quite a large number of this branch of the family rest.

It has been very interesting this tracing descendants of this Uncle of whom we had lost all trace-something like finding treasures that had long been lost, then regained, giving one a thrill at again having them in one's possession. It was through Bernice Hagaman, than of Huntington, West Va., who is the daughter of John E., granddaughter of Taylor and great granddaughter of John, that we got trace of the family. It all came about the result of a football game which Ohio Wesleyan University played with Marshall College team, in which Edwin Hagaman of Delaware, 0. played on the 0. W. U. team. Bernice, and her brother, noticing his name in the football line-up was interested, seeing their names were spelled alike, and the correspondence which ensued resulted in the discovery of these many relatives.

In this research work we have found that this eldest son John, was born near Big or Little Round Top Mountain, near Gettysburg, Pa., in 1805. So it must have been there that John, the first progenitor of whom we have any record, lived before coming on into Jefferson, now Carroll Co., 0. As Gettysburg lies in such close proximity to Hagerstown, which lies just across the Pennsylvania- Maryland State line, it does look probable that our ancestors might once have lived there. A genealogy of this branch of the family will follow this sketch, a reading of which by members of other branches of the family, will reveal to them how many relatives they have had, of whom they have had no knowledge. And those of each branch, in perusing the genealogy of the other branches of this large family tree, will find that we all have a host of relatives of whom we have hitherto not known. In this research work, through a visit which my nephew, Charles Touby made to Carroll Co., recently, ancestors of another John were

discovered. This John spelled his name Hagaman. Mrs. Laura Wagner, daughter of Peter Hagaman, who was the son of John Hagaman is one of these descendants. She is a resident of Carrollton, 0., and her grandfather John owned a farm one mile from Carrollton, which further research showed was purchased in 1834. This John may have been a son, of the brother of grandfather John, as the date would seem to indicate. Charles also found that one George Hagaman bought a farm in what is now Carrollton in 1834, and Amos Hagaman bought a farm one mile from Lamartine in 1836, and sold it in 1848. What connection these held to the family we do not know. It is not probable that this Amos was my father, as he would have been but sixteen years of age, quite young to purchase a farm, in 1836. This George may have been my uncle George, though we have no knowledge of this being so. They, too, may have been sons of Grandfather John's brother. But this, again, is conjecture and just something for anyone who so desires, to fathom. This John, had 4 sons, Richard, Peter, James, and William, and one daughter Elizabeth. Most of the members of this family spell the name Hagerman, but Richard, the oldest son, and his family, spelled it Hagaman. A genealogy of this branch will be given further on.

Amos, my father, was the youngest of grandfather's sons. Here in this new land of their adoption, grandfather John, and grandmother, reared their children, lived, and died, leaving examples of sterling character, and fortitude, Somewhere in Carroll Co., 0., they lie awaiting the Resurrection morning. A cousin of grandfather John, Thomas Hagaman, by name, came on into Ohio from Cayuga Co., New York, and settled in Bronson Twp., Huron C., 0., about the same time that grandfather settled in Carroll Co., 0. A sketch of his family history will be given further on in this history. Of the brothers of my Father, I remember but two, uncle George, and uncle James. Uncle George married Nancy Lucas. They lived in Jefferson Co., 0., for a time, where John, 'the eldest son, one of their sixteen children was born. Later, they moved to the vicinity of Jelloway, Knox Co., Ohio. Here, in this new home the remainder of their earthly days were spent, and in the little cemetery near Shadley Valley Church, they await the time when the dead in Christ shall rise. Of the children born to them, I remember John, Anna Maria, Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary, Amos, Francis Leroy, Almyer, Orlando, and Caroline. These cousins of mine were very near and dear to me in my early boyhood days, when we roamed the hills of Knox Co. together. John, the eldest son in 1857 took unto himself a wife. He must have been looking well to future happiness for himself and children, for he chose as his bride a young woman of sterling Christian character-one who was to bring a halo of glory to motherhood and home - She whom he chose was Julia Walls, who was loved and respected in her community. After a few years residence at Jelloway, 0., they established their home in Mt. Vernon, 0. Seven children came into their home to gladden their lives. The children were: Charles Homer, George Royal, Harriet Emma, Olive Elnora, Lulu Edna, Anna Belle, and Clyde, who died in infancy. Of this once happy family, only the four girls survive, the father, mother, and sons having passed on. Cousin Maria married Mathias Stonebrook, of Carroll Co., 0. They, too, settled in Knox Co., 0., and nestling at the foot of one of Knox County's hills, near Jelloway, the house in which they lived and died and where their eight children were born, still stands, though now uninhabited. Of the eight children, but two, John, and Mary, grew to manhood and womanhood. They both never married and had families, but both have passed on.

Cousin Caroline, married Daniel M. Tilton, a young school teacher of the community. For a time they lived on a farm, to the north of Jelloway. Later they built a home on the farm which they purchased a short distance south of Jelloway, and here, amid the scenic beauty of Knox Co. hills they lived in happiness and contentment, with the seven children which came to bless their home until the year 1870, when cousin Caroline passed on. In the little Shadley Valley cemetery she was laid to rest near her father and mother and others of her kindred.

The children were Homer Curtis, Ellis Ellsworth, Amos Hunter, Charles Summer, Mary Frances, Maria Jane, and William Royce. Daniel, later, married Amelia Watson. Their children were Josephus, Howard, and Babina Alice. Of cousin Caroline's family, but three survive: Ellis, Amos, and William Tilton.

Cousin Elizabeth Hagaman married William Dunlap and both died in middle life. Cousin Thomas Hagaman, married Emeline Walls DeWitt, a sister of Julia, cousin John's wife, soon after his return from the Civil War. After a brief three years of married life, Thomas passed away, having contracted a malady during the war, that caused his early demise. They had two children, a girl, Georgia Anna, and a boy, Brady Crawford, born a few months after his father's death. Cousin Almyer, later married Emeline, the widow of his brother, Thomas and naturally inherited a foster daughter and son. Bradie died when seven years old, and Georgia Anna passed away in 1901.

Cousin Orlando married Kate Brandinburge Sibert, whom I never knew. They had three sons, Homer and Carl, who died in young manhood, and Harry who died in 1929. Orlando later married Emeline Dressel, who was born in Tenlersdrif, Germany. They had one son, Fred Raymond, who survives, and resides at Gambier, Ohio. Orlando died in 1892 or '93 and was interred in a Zanesville, 0. cemetery. Uncle James Hagaman was married to a woman whose name I do not remember. They had two children, George and Belinda They, too, settled in Knox Co. near Jelloway, coming into the Co. after George and Amos had located there. After the death of his first wife he married the widow of George Bowers, Lavina, by name. To them was born a son, Sherman Hagaman and a daughter, Etta. But of these we have no further record.

The following facts concerning the Amos Hagaman branch, and some items of interest in regard to the Sell family will be of interest to their descendants. Amos, the youngest of the

sons of John Hagaman, married Elizabeth Sell, who was the daughter of Benjamin Sell my grandfather, arid for whom I was named. Her mother's (my grandmother) maiden name was Fowler. She was a widow when she married grandfather Sell, having been previously married to a man whose sir name was McCarty. They had one son David McCarty. He married a woman whom we know as Aunt Betsy McCarty. They had three children, John, William, and Mary McCarty. These were half cousins of mine. The children of Benjamin Sell were two sons, Uncle John, and Uncle George Sell. Uncle George Sell is said to have been connected, by marriage, in some way, to Lord Nelson. I do not know whom either married. They had, besides these two sons, three daughters, Aunt Mary Sell who married Hezekiah Norrick, Aunt Jane Sell who married James Severns, and Elizabeth Sell, my mother, whom, as I have said, married Amos Hagaman. I understand there are decendants of Uncle John Sell living in the state of South Dakota. Uncle George Sell, married Mime Norrick. Their children were, Mahala, who married a man by the name of Travis, Jennie, who married a Ward, Ben Sell who married a woman whom we called Cora Bell, and a second son, Thomas Sell.

General George A. Custer, for whom Uncle George, Sell was named, and his two brothers were first cousins of my mother, Elizabeth Sell Hagaman. General Custer, his two brothers, and a nephew, were killed at the Battle of Big Horn in the War with the Sioux Indians, June 25, 1876. Early in the morning of the 28th of June 1876 all troops except those left to care for the wounded of Reno's force repaired to the battlefields and buried the dead of Custer's column, and as few tools were available and the ground baked hard, interment was not complete in all cases. Custer was buried beneath a huge mound and an attempt was made to mark the graves of our identified offices and enlisted men. In all 212 bodies were buried where they fell. Custer's defeat was due to the failure of Reno's force to attack at the time agreed upon. A national Memorial was erected at New Rumley, Ohio, his birthplace, to the memory of Gen. Custer. To come back now to father's family. In what is now Carroll Co., 0., near the little town of Perrysville (Lamertine P.O.) father Amos and mother Elizabeth, lived those first happy years of their married life and in this locality four of their five children were born. These were brother John, Sisters Nancy Jane and Mary E., and I, Benjamin F., who was born on the farm once owned by grandfather John. After some years spent here, heeding the entreaties of Uncle George to come to Knox Co. Ohio to make their home that they might be near each other, father and mother, about the year 1853, decided upon this change of residence. Near the little village of Jelloway, they bought a farm and took up their abode, close to their kindred. Here they began life anew. Into this new home came a sweet baby girl, Hannah Catherine, completing the family circle. For a time all went well, here, amid congenial neighbors and friends. Then unexpectedly a cloud overshadowed our home, of God called father, Amos, Jan. 6, 1854, leaving mother Elizabeth with the little farm and five young children to look after and care for. The shadow of this cloud was yet upon us, when, early in the spring following father's death, little Hannah Catherine after a brief sojourn of eighteen months went to be with father. Mother knew in whom to trust, and by earnest effort on her part, with the help of Him who careth for the widows and orphans, she kept the four remaining children together. Then, six years later another cloud enveloped not only our home, but the homes of our community, state and nation. The great Civil War was on. Brother John, desiring to be of service to the nation, enlisted at the beginning of the war, but upon examination was found to be too small of stature, and was ordered home. Being determined to enlist, he left the recruiting officer, saying: "I'll go home and grow awhile, and will be back later." In 1863 he enlisted in Co. I, 2nd Ohio, Heavy Artillery and was mustered into service at Camp Sheridan, 0. Other young men of the community, including cousins Thomas, Amos, and John Hagaman, left their homes and loved ones, and went forth to engage in that great struggle to save the Union. Thomas served in the same Co. and regiment in which brother John served, Amos, in Co. E, 20th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and cousin John left his wife and three small children to serve in Co. F., O.V.I., 142nd Regiment. Many were the hearts that were aching for loved ones who were absent, with a fearful dread that they might never return. During those long anxious years, I, Benjamin, longed greatly to go into service, but being far below the age limit, it was impossible for me to do this without running away, and falsifying as to my age. This I was sometimes tempted to do, but the thought of my widowed mother, and her hard struggle to carry on, with a heart already burdened because of one son in the service, deterred me, and I stayed on with she and Sister Mary, to "keep the home fires burning." Sister Jane had married, just previous to this time, Josephus Tilton, a young school teacher of the community, and had gone to housekeeping not far from our home. Brother John was honorably discharged from the service in August 1865, at which time I had not yet reached my 16th birthday. A little later, another Young man of our community, William Toby, returning from the service of his country, wooed and won the hand of sister Mary, and they were married, taking up their residence close by. Then, brother John, on Oct. 22, 1865, took unto himself a wife in the person of Clementine D. Grigsby, and their first home was a short distance south of mother's home. Thus, one by one, the brother and sisters had flown the home nest, and mother and I, alone, were left, of our cherished family circle. To the best of my ability, I tried to cheer her, and for a brief time we were happy in each others' companionship. But Soon illness came to mother and slowly, but surely, it dawned upon us that the home must be broken up. After weary months of suffering, at the home of brother John, mother laid life's heavy burdens down, and on my 17th birthday, Dec. 1, 1867, she went to be with those whom she had "loved and lost awhile". Sadly we laid her to rest close by the side of father and little Hannah Catherine in the little God's Acre, just south of Shadley Valley Wesleyan Methodist Church, the Church in which, in life, with many others of the family, she worshiped. Here, in this hallowed plot of ground they await, with many of their kindred, the time when "the earth and sea shall give up their dead." Mother's passing was a sad blow to us, especially so tome, for, being but four years of age at the time of father's death, I was too young to remember much about him, and mother had been both parents to me. The other members of the family had established homes for themselves, but I was motherless and alone, at seventeen. Soon after mother's death the family began to scatter. Sister Jane and husband, leaving the vicinity of Jelloway took up their residence far to the north at Hartland Center, near Norwalk, Huron Co., 0., in a farm which they purchased there. Soon after this, sister Mary and husband, April 5, 1870, took possession of the farm which they had purchased at Hartland Center, near the farm on which sister Jane resided. To sister Jane and Josephus Tilton during those early busy years of their married life, four sons were born, Greeley, Sydney, Carey, and Johnnie who died of diphtheria quite young. But one son survives, Carey, of Greenacres, Washington. They also had four daughters, Laura, Ella, Minnie and Grace. Ella passed away in early girlhood. The other daughters survive. To sister Mary and William Toby were born, two sons, Charles C. and Edwin H., and two daughters Marguerite Mae, and Bessie and these children survive. Through hard work and thrift Sister Jane and husband built a nice new home on the site of their first home there. Sister Mary and husband had the ill-luck of having a new home burn down with most of the contents, and on the site of this, they built another nice new home. From these homes these children of Sisters Jane and Mary went out to found homes for themselves. These sisters lived here, on the beautiful plains of Huron Co., in close proximity, for many years, and from this locality they passed on, sister Jane, on the home farm, and sister Mary at her home in Norwalk, where she lived after the death of her husband, and both, with their husbands rest in beautiful Woodlawn cemetery, Norwalk.

A further record of these families will be given in the genealogy which follows this sketch.

About a year after mother's death, in the year 1868, brother John and wife and their little daughter Elizabeth, who was born on their farm near Jelloway, migrated to Waterloo, Ia. I accompanied them on this overland journey which was made in a covered wagon, the prevailing mode of travel for emigrants of that day.

Here, in this Hawkeye State, three more children came into brother John's home, Edith, John, and Minnie. After a time spent here they moved on, into what was then Dakota Territory, in Clay Co., the most Southeastern Co. of the Territory, now Clay Co., South Dakota. Here their other children were born. These were Ella, Ida, Charles Wesley and Ethel. John and Ida died of diphtheria when quite young and Charles Wesley is also deceased. Here in this new country they suffered the hardships which were common to those who settled the western prairie countries, and here brother John and wife now rest in the little cemetery at Wakonda, S.D.

To come now to myself and family. After a time spent at Waterloo, Ia., I went on into Dakota Territory and pre-empted a claim of 160 acres, in the site where Sioux Falls now stands. However I never proved up on this claim. I then came back to Ohio, and to the scenes of my boyhood days. During the short time which I spent at my old home town of Jelloway, I went, with a friend of mine, John Tilton, brother of Josephus and Daniel, to visit his uncle, Anthony Jones, his wife Margaret and family, who lived to the south, near Martinsburg, Licking Co. It was here that I met their daughter, Elizabeth, who came in from church, soon after our arrival in their home. And then it was, on that first evening of our meeting that I vowed that with her consent, I would make her my wife. So, after a brief courtship, I, Benjamin F. Hagaman, and Elizabeth A. Jones were united in marriage, one winter day, Jan. 7, 1874, while sleet hung heavy on trees and fields, and all about us, on this, our wedding day, the forests which surrounded her home, looked more like crystal, than living trees. The scenic beauty of that day I have never forgotten. After our marriage we settled first in Huron Co., 0., near Olena, and not far distant from the homes of sisters Nancy Jane and Mary. Here, two daughters were born, Nellie Orell, and Margaret Loumoin. Later we moved to Delaware Co., 0., and here two sons, Edwin F. and Sydney Clyde and a daughter, Callie Blanche were born. Those first early years of our married life, while happy, were yet years of hardships. But together we met them one by one. After a few years spent in Delaware Co., one day we turned our faces westward, leaving the home we had built in Delaware, 0., to strangers, and building another, near the home of brother John, near Wakonda, S.D. Here we formed new friendships, and for five years endured the hardships of cold Dakota winters, blizzards, prairie fires, etc. And here, too, we enjoyed the close fellowship which we had with brother John and family, and our new-found Dakota friends. But Ohio ties were strong, and in 1890 we came back to the state of our birth and the loved ones here, and settled near the little village of Berkshire, on a farm which we purchased there. On this farm we plodded life's way, with the children God had given us for thirteen years. Then a shadow-like unto the ones that had darkened my boyhood home, came upon us as the death angel hovered near, and after a year of suffering my wife Elizabeth passed on. She now rests from her labors in the little cemetery at Sunbury, 0.

Later, I married Mrs. Mary Stickney, and after her demise, Mrs. Rose Swartz. We reside at

Berkshire, 0. The youngest member of my family at this writing is Sue Ann Hagaman, my great granddaughter born March 27, 1938. She is the infant daughter of my son Clyde's son Raymond Hagaman, and is the great great granddaughter of Amos and the great, great, great, granddaughter of John.

Being now in my 88th year and the last survivor of my father's family, I have lived to see my children to the fourth generation. During my life span, it has been my painful lot to stand by the grave-sides, or to know of the passing of all other members of my father's family.

With the poet I can say--

"Friends, my soul with joy remembers

How like quivering flames they start

When I fan the living embers On the hearthstone of my heart."

I have tried so to live that I would bring no disgrace to the name which I bear. It is my heart's earnest desire that my children, and all others connected with the family, shall keep the family name untarnished. In this sketch, we have gone Tar back in our thinking, recalling large numbers of the family, who, after having been called into action, each for a brief life span, have filled their places well, and then passed on. This brings to our minds the lines of Bryant's Thanatopsis:

"They that tread the earth are but a handful to the tribes that slumber in its bosom."

During the intervening years that have elapsed since that day when our progenitors first landed on our Eastern shores from far off Holland, Hagamar descendants have spanned this continent. They have hit the trail from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. At Long Beach, California, Ethelyn Hagaman Davis, daughter of Charles W.. granddaughter of brother John, great granddaughter of Amos, and great great granddaughter of John, resides. At Los Angeles, Mary Brockenmeir and Margaret Sumpkins, sisters, and daughters of Edith Hagaman Donahue, two other great great granddaughters of John, have established their homes. While a decendant of Jesse Hagaman, Joseph H. Lane, son of Minnie Catrel Lane, and great great grandson of John, resides in Lenox, California. While Oscar Hagaman, son of Hiram, and grandson of John, of Chesapeake, 0., resides in this same state, at Receda, California. The far North-west State of Washington, too, claims as residents, a number of descendants of grandfather John. Here Carey J. Tilton and son Earl reside, Carey, at Green Acres, and Earl at Spokane. Earl is a grandson of sister Nancy Jane Hagaman Tilton, great grandson of Amos, and great great grandson of John. Farther west and north, at Seattle, in this same state, Ellis Elmore, Willard Royce, and Evelyn Caroline Tilton, great great grandchildren of John Hagaman, great grandchildren of Uncle George, grandchildren of cousin Caroline Hagaman Tilton, and sons and daughters of Charles Sumner Tilton reside, while a brother of theirs, Kenneth Elwood Tilton, resides at Grand Coulee, Wash. Then further to the north-west, on Juan De Fucu Strait at Port Angeles, Wash, another great great Berkshire, 0. The youngest member of my family at this writing is Sue Ann Hagaman, my great granddaughter born March 27, 1938. She is the infant daughter of my son Clyde's son Raymond Hagaman, and is the great great granddaughter of Amos and the great, great, great, granddaughter of John.

Then further to the north-west, on Juan De Fucu Strait at Port Angeles, Wash, another great great grandson of John, Charles Orville Hagaman, son of Charles W., resides. While far to the south-east in Florida's sunny clime John J. Hagaman, son of Charles W. and another great great grandson of John, is attending school, and resides with his mother, at Tampa. In the genealogy to follow this sketch, we have record of descendants living in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Va., Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Florida, South Carolina, Dist. of Columbia, Alaska, Gcorgia, and Ohio.

In the U.S. Navy, at Florence, South Carolina, Harold F. Hagaman, son of Sydney Clyde, my grandson, great grandson of Amos, and great great grandson of John, is stationed as Rccruiting Officer for the U.S. Navy. While far out in the Pacific on the Battleship U.S.S. Chester, Carlyn W. Hagaman, son of Charles W., Grandson of John J., great grandson of Amos, and great great grandson of John, is stationed. Thus they, in the Navy, one on the Atlantic coast, the other in the Pacific, stand ready at the present writing to help to defend our shores.

In civil life we have entered upon varied activities of life. Many have tilled the soil, thus bringing forth sustenance for their families and other families. In this, they have lived close to nature, and to nature's God. There have been many who have gone forth to war at their country's call, and these have helped to preserve the nation. Some have entered the legal profession. Others have been doctors, and these have battled against the ravages of disease. Some have been carpenters, and these have helped to build the homes, churches, etc., of the nation. Besides these, many other pursuits of life have been followed by different members of the family. But the teaching profession has appealed to more of our young people than any other one profession. Thus we have helped to build a more intellectual citizenry. They have been affiliated with the Church, and its programme of evangelism. Their women have "looked well to the ways of their households" and have brought up their children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." May they, of the coming generations of the family, attain to greater heights in civic, intellectual, and spiritual life, than past generations have attained, until that day when the kingdoms of this world have become the "Kingdom of our Lord." May they remember too, that:

"The clock of life is wound but once,

And no man has tile power

To tell just when the hands will stop

At late or early hour.

Now is the only time you own:

Live, love, toil with a will,

Place no faith in tomorrow, for

The clock may then be still."

This brief sketch has been written in the hope that it may be of interest and help to this, and future generations of tile Hagaman family.

The following poem written by Mrs. W. W. Brown on one of her late birthdays I find applicable to my own life.

DOWN THE SUNLIT WAY

In looking back o'er all the years,

I've had my hopes, I've had my fears;

In retrospection it appears

I've had more sunshine farg, than tears.

Sometimes a cloud would hide the blue,

I would not know just what to do;

Then through a rift would shine a gleam,

Right down my pathway, it would seem.

To guide: So I would surely know

This was the way that I should go.

The later milestones quickly pass,

Much faster than when one's a lad, or lass.

The many things I've tried to do,

Have dwindled down to just a few;

And others, that are just begun,

Are those I fain would have well done.

Perhaps, in order to abide,

I'll finish on the other side;

Where faith is perfected in sight,

The darkened glass in clear, and bright.

The golden sunset's gorgeous ray,

Is just before the close of day;

In quiet beauty to unroll,

With just a glimpse, it calls the soul.

So may we listen, not afar

Slip through the golden gates ajar;

And welcome on the other shore

Our loved ones there to part no more.

But until then, make most of life,

Serenly without noise or strife;

Be cheerful. helpful, never glum,

In doing this, the other's won.

And now into the kind care and keeping of our Heavenly Father, who has been the guide and help of past generations of the family, we commit all living members in the sincere hope that all may know Him whom to know is Life Eternal. May all names herein recorded, be recorded also in the "Book of Life."

JOHN HAGERMAN BRANCH

John of Carrollton, Carroll County, Ohio

In what place to record this branch has been problematical. As we have noted before it would seem that this John, was a son of the brother of grandfather John, who came with him in that early day from Pennsylvania, to what is now Carroll Co., Ohio, and we are assuming that this is correct. Or, the other John, of Chesapeake, Ohio, may have been the son of this brother of Grandfather John, and John, of Carrollton, the eldest son of Grandfather John. But the spelling of the name would indicate it to be as we have thought. At any rate all, no doubt, are members of the same clan and the direct relationship, we leave a problem for wiser minds to solve, if they so desire.

Owing to the short space of time which we have had to complete the record for this branch it is quite incomplete and for the fact that we could not get a complete record for some of the families we are truly sorry.

THOMAS HAGAMAN BRANCH

Sketch of the Thomas Hagaman Branch. Written by Harriett Hagaman, daughter oY George, who was son of Thomas, just as the eighteenth century slipped into place, Thomas Hagaman, born of good old Holland ancestry, wooed and won beautiful Nellie Burnette in Cayuga Co., New York. There, in that Empire State, a Christian home was founded for Thomas, like Enoch of old, "walked with God." With the fast going years, a blue-eyed boy came to that home and they called him John.

Then James, who was worthy of the name he bore, came to be a companion for John. Then after a lapse of years came George, completing the family circle. This trio of brothers in later years became pillars in the Church, and prosperous and prominent men in their community. About the year 1820. Thomas the father felt the urge to go West. When George was two years old, the family left their native state in the springtime. Their conveyance was a covered wagon, drawn by oxen.

Through the long tiresome journey of months, John, a young man of 18 years and his father, traveled the entire distance on foot that they might guide their herd of cattle through the wilderness, while Baby George and little James rode safely with the mother in the sheltering wagon.

In the early autumn they arrived in Bronson Township, Huron Co., Ohio, at the home of Simon Ammerman and family who were friends and neighbors from their old home, and who had preceded them to Ohio some months previously. There among strange surroundings in the then unbroken wilderness, with a homesick longing for the loved ones she had left, Nelly, the mother, sat for two hours in that old covered wagon, loath to alight and assume the new duties which awaited her in that strange land. She must have felt somewhat as did the Pilgrim Fathers, when they cast anchor on this country's rough and rock-bound coast. Thomas soon purchased 250 acres of land for the fabulous sum of five dollars per acre, of Martin Kellogg, known later as Huron County's Centenarian, having lived to the advanced age of one hundred and six years. On that farm, near a never failing spring of water the log cabin home was built. In after years it was replaced by a frame house, a portion of which still stands, a monument to those pioneer days. And there they lived nearly fifty years until the summons came to Thomas, who after a few days illness at the sage of seventy-nine, went home, repeating the words "Sweet Jesus." Then Nelly trod life's pathway alone, until in failing health from her burden of eighty-two years, she too, went home to join the beautified above.

When the three sons had grown to manhood their father gave to John and George, each, a farm adjoining his own. To James, who cared for his parents in their declining years, was left the old homestead.

John the eldest son in due season betook himself through the woods to the Ammerman home and courted, and married the fair seventeen year old daughter, Tina. Four children came to their home, Maria B., Lucy, Thomas, and Isabelle; but death claimed the first born, the auburn haired Maria B. with promise of a beautiful womanhood, at the age of twenty years.

James going "back East" on a visit returned with his cousin, Elizabeth De Groff as his bride. A fleeting bit of sunshine came into their home and was their joy and happiness for seven

months, after which time they were left without one baby face to brighten their lives.

George married Lavina Nicolls, of Bronson and went to housekeeping on his farm. In the course of human events their daughters three, Mary Elizabeth, Ellen Maria, and Harriett Burnette came to complete the family circle.

On whose adjoining acres those three brothers lived and died. They and their families with the exception of John's son Thomas, (whose body rests in Woodlawn, Norwalk) are sleeping in the old Hester burial ground in Bronson, there awaiting the Resurrection Morn.

THE INFLUENCE OF A GODLY MOTHER

I have worshipped in churches and chapels, I've prayed in the busy street, I have sought my God and found Him Where the waves of His ocean beat; I have knelt in the silent forest, In the shade of some ancient tree, But the dearest of all my altars Was raised at my mother's knee.

I have listened to God in His temple, I've caught His voice in the crowd, I have heard Him speak where the breakers Were booming long and loud; When the winds played soft in the treetops, My Father has talked to me, But I never heard Him clearer Than I did at my mother's Knee.

A CLOSING THOUGHT

"Have you missed your aim? Well, the mark is still shining. Did you faint in the race? Well, take a breath for the next. Did the clouds drive you back? But see yonder their lining. Were you tempted and fell? Let it serve for a text. As each year hurries by let it join that procession. Of skeleton shapes that march down to the past, While you take your place in the line of progression. With your eyes on the heavens, your face to the blast."

(Georgia Bulletin.)
