Generation No. 1

1. CHRISTOPHER "STOFFEL"¹ HAYMAKER¹ was born Abt. 1700 in Germany or England, and died 1788 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co, PA².

Notes for CHRISTOPHER "STOFFEL" HAYMAKER:

Family legend holds that Christopher, called "Stoffel," married a Lady Gordon (perhaps Elizabeth Gorden) in England, and that she sold her jewels to pay for their trip to America in about 1730. Legend is that he was a German peasant who escaped to Scotland where he was employed by Lord or Earl Gordon. Christophel Haymaker (spelled Heumacher in an early St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church baptismal record) was said to have stood about 7 feet tall. Stoffel bought 201 acres of land January 26, 1738/39 (Weinberg, Warrants & Surveys of the Province of Pennsylvania) in Bucks County, PA, but later lost it, possibly because he did not file the correct papers. Bucks Co. was one of the three original counties in PA. Stoffel is known to have been in Pennsylvania in the 1750's, and he is listed along with William Haycock in land records for Bucks County, PA in 1756 at Rockhill. It appears he bought 10 acres adjacent to the plantation of Daniel Huertner (source: Land Records for Bucks County, PA: www.rootsweb.com/~pabucks/landrecordspage2.html). "Rockhill was one destination of a wave of German immigration that came up the Perkiomen and set across into Bucks county, 1720-1730. Germans were among its very earliest settlers and it has maintained its German status ... Our knowledge of the pioneers is limited, being of that class that rarely preserves recorded family history or tradition. The earliest purchase made in Rockhill was by John Furnace, a barber of Philadelphia, the deed bearing the date December 11, 1701, for 300 acres" (Davis, 1876). A man named Rudolph Hamaker was naturalized in Bucks County, Pa on 10 April 1756. Could this be a relative of Christopher Haymaker?

Stoffel was in western Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War, which began about 1754, but it is not known if he played a role in the early skirmishes around Fort Duquesne (built at present-day Pittsburgh) or Fort Necessity. During that time the settlers had to be on constant guard against Indian attacks, as the Indians worked with the French in attempting to dislodge the English settlers. Christopher was probably an Indian trader and he may have been killed by Indians. Family legend is that he killed an Indian, and the others vowed to get him. He was originally buried in a cemetery where the village of Verona now stands. His remains were reportedly lifted and interred in Old Plum Creek Cemetery, now called Laird Church Cemetery, but no stone has been found. "One of the pioneer men was an Indian fighter. He was a huge man, over 7 feet tall. Legend has it that he killed several Indians single-handed. They vowed they would "get" him, and they did. When they buried him, they cut off his feet at the ankles. Dr. Edward M. Haymaker, retired Missionary from Guatemala, was present when this grave was exhumed for some reason. The grave revealed the skeleton of an extremely tall man, minus feet" (source: Ralph & Dorothy Hodgdon, Zoar Ohio, 1978 letter to Mary H. West). It is not known why he was in Pittsburgh when he died, but it's likely that he was living with son Jacob for the last few years of his life, perhaps in Plum township where Jacob owned land.

Generation No. 2

2. JOHN² HAYMAKER (CHRISTOPHER "STOFFEL"¹) was born Abt. 1726.

Children of JOHN HAYMAKER are:

i. FREDERICK³ HAYMAKER.

5. ii. MARY HAYMAKER.

iii. JACOB HAYMAKER.

3. JACOB² HAYMAKER, SR. (CHRISTOPHER "STOFFEL"¹)³ was born Abt. 1734 in Bucks Co, PA, and died 1819 in Franklin Twp, Portage Co, OH. He married (1) EVA MARGARETHA MEYERS March 01, 1768 in York, PA, daughter of CHRISTOPH MEYERS. She was born Abt. 1745 in PA?, and died October 11, 1810 in Franklin, Portage Co, Ohio. He married (2) EVA STROBEL Abt. 1811. She was born Abt. 1754.

Notes for JACOB HAYMAKER, SR.:

Jacob was a carpenter and millwright by trade, but also was a York Innkeeper in 1770 in Bucks County. In 1772, a Jacob Haymaker was paid from the account of an estate of Balzer Spengler (of York, PA) for making a coffin. He was listed as being present at a meeting of the company on Thursday, 8 Oct 1772 at the house of Balzer Spengler, Innkeeper, in York concerning the working of the Water Engine for Fire prevention. It is clear from the record that citizens were required to attend these meetings and were fined if they were absent. It was proposed at this meeting that Jacob Haymaker be a member of the fire company. Others were ordered that in case a fire should occur, "use their best Indeavours to make People stand regularly in a Row to carry Water, and make all Idle Persons stand in a Row or imploy themselves otherwise to have the Fire extinguished." Christopher Haymaker also lived in York for a time, the location of the 2nd Continental Congress. I need to check records of the 2nd Continental Congress in York to see if Jacob Haymaker's Inn was used by members of Congress. Published references show that by 1778, Jacob was in Pittsburgh, PA but more work needs to be done to discover why he might have relocated before the Revolutionary War. It's possible that he simply joined his father, Christopher, in the Pittsburgh area where there were more opportunities to purchase cheap land.

In May 26, 1778 Jacob was sworn in as Justice of the Peace & Justices of Oyer and Terminer (source: Annals of the Carnegie Museum, p. 154, Pennsylvania Colonial Records, 1600s-1800s, Virginia Court Records in Southwestern PA, Minutes of Court of Yohogania County). Jacob served in the Justice Courts as a "gentleman justice" in Pittsburgh. Jacob was among 11 justices who did not "swear in" but most did "swear into" their commissions (source: Justice Courts: www.rootsweb.com/~indian.courth.htm). He is listed as a subscriber from Westmoreland Co. of a famous sermon, along with Rev. Wm. Swan, who subscribed to 20 copies. Jacob was a wealthy man for the times. The Davis Family history (Davis, 1912) includes a little about Jacob Haymaker. "The family tradition is that he loaned the State of Virginia eighty thousand pounds, and that he helped the government in equipping vessels, fitting out a regiment of soldiers, in building forts and block-houses, to such an extent that he used up all his fortune in aiding to carry on the Revolutionary War. The government could not repay him. He was informed that he would have to wait till a gold mine was discovered. The debt has never been paid" (p. 70). This story is verified by the will of his son, Frederick Haymaker, in which he mentions the debt owed to his father by the state of Virginia.

Jacob served in the Revolutionary War in 1778 as a Private to Capt Duncan's Company of the Pennsylvania Volunteers under Brigadier General Hand. He may have worked his way up to Captain. In an application for a pension in 1833, Alexander McClean testified that he served as commissary in 1778, and he delivered supplies and munitions to Captain Jacob Haymaker, among others. McClean had recorded the dates of his deliveries in a book he kept, which had been partially preserved. McClean was granted his pension (source: Military: Rev War: Pensions: Alexander McLean - Uniontown, Fayette County, PA). Jacob Haymaker wrote to Mr. John Heckedorn on 7 Sep 1781 from Pittsburgh about some Indians who attacked Fort Wheeler. According to his letter there were 400 Indians ready to attack the Moravian town. He ended the letter with compliments to Mr. Grube and "let him know that I and my family are all in good health at present." In 1781, Jacob witnessed the Will of Philip Whitsal in Westmoreland Co, PA.

January, 1783 marked the signing of a petition by more than 1700 men requesting the creation of a new state, to be called Westsylvania. I wonder if Jacob Haymaker was a signer of that petition. Residents of western PA were concerned about the ongoing dispute between Virginia and Pennsylvania for jurisdiction of western PA. I need to check the National Archives in Washington DC for information about this petition, and need to read the monograph on the subject by Helen Harris of Pittsburgh.

According to a history of Pittsburg, "In 1783, Jacob Haymaker rented of John Ormsby a house and an adjoining boatyard on the bank of the Monongahela, 'nearly opposite to the town of Pittsburg,' where for upwards of five years he carried on the business of boat-building 'with great success.' These were, no doubt, keel and 'Kentucke' boats (p. 194). A different history included a chapter titled "Before the City

Charter," which stated, "... Jacob Haymaker was building boats, 'broad horns,' etc., on property rented from John Ormsby in 1783 on the south side of the Monongahela" (p. 111). Dahlinger (1916) wrote the following in his account of the early social life of Pittsburgh: "Among the mechanics of the higher class were Jacob Haymaker, William Eichbaum, and John Hamsher. The first was a boatbuilder, whose boatyard was located on the south side of the Monongahela River at the Middle Ferry" (p. 40). A few pages later, Jacob was mentioned again: "He [Jacob Bausman] was treasurer of the German church and, jointly with Jacob Haymaker, was trustee, on the part of the church, of the land deeded by the Penns to that congregation for church purposes at the northeast corner of Smithfield and Sixth Streets, where the congregation's second and all subsequent churches were built" (p. 42-43).

In 1783, Jacob purchased 300 acres in Pitt Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA. Pitt Twp included all of PA north and west of the Ohio Allegheny River, including the territory that became Crawford Co. in 1800. Coal mining had begun in Pitt as early as 1761, and by 1790 several coal mines were operating. Coal was used as fuel for the British troops at Fort Pitt. Jacob purchased land on Coal Hill in Pittsburg from John Penn in 1786 (source needed). Coal Hill is now called Mount Washington.

In 1785 - 1789, he was on the tax list in Dickinson Twp, Washington Co (now Allegheny), PA (source: The National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume 51, Tax List of Dickinson Twp, Washington [now Allegheny] Co, PA, 1785-1789), 105). Allegheny Twp. was created in 1788. In Pittsburgh Jacob worked as a boatbuilder at the Haymaker Boatyard, and in 1794, he was engaged by John Adlum, a surveyor, to carry his stores and provisions by boat to Ft. Franklin at the mouth of the French Creek. John Adlum (1759-1836) was a Revolutionary War veteran from NY. He worked as a surveyor in PA and served in the PA militia, probably with Jacob Haymaker. I like to imagine that Jacob's son, Frederick, accompanied his father on trips up the river to the Beaver area, and he must have enjoyed the trips to that wilderness area.

According to Portrait and Biographical Record of Portage and Summit Counties, Jacob Sr. had prospected through an area of Ohio, now Franklin Co, in the spring of 1805. He purchased of Olmstead's agent a tract of land consisting of present site of Kent Mills. From another source, the story is slightly different. Jacob bought land in today's Franklin Twp, and then sent his son John and family to settle the land in Fall of 1805. They lived on the west shore of the Cuyahoga on what is today Mantua St. Jacob and his wife arrived the next spring along with another son, George. After Eve died, the Haymaker family set aside a two-acre plot along the banks of the Cuyahoga for use as a family burial ground. A year later, the property was deeded to Franklin Twp. Trustees for use as a community cemetery. It [Stow St. Cemetery] was the only burial ground for 48 years (source: Troyer, Loris C., 1998, Portage Pathways, Kent, OH: The Kent State University Press).

Jacob built a house on the west side of the river, where the Kent Mills now stand. During 1807, the Haymakers built the first grist-mill in the township, and it was used by the early settlers for several years. Portage County was formed in 1808 from Trumbull Co, Ohio. In 1832, the Haymaker sawmill and grist mill were washed away in a flood, but the mills were rebuilt by the Kent family. I have not been able to find Jacob on the 1790, 1800, or 1810 census, so I need to check his children and see if he was living with one of them.

Notes for JACOB HAYMAKER, JR.:

Jacob was baptized on March 17, 1771 as John Jacob Heumacher in the Christ Lutheran Evangelical Church in York Co. Jacob was raised on the farm which is the site of Allegheny City and lies buried in Plum Twp (with grandfather Stofel). He was a Private in Fenton's 5th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia during the War of 1812, serving from 22 August to 3 Oct 1812 (source: Early Ohio Settlers, 1700s - 1900s, Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812, p. 431). John was on the Roll of Capt. Thomas Rice's Company (county unknown). He and his wife lived at Haymaker's Hill, Franklin Twp [probably the area known as Export], Westmoreland Co, PA. Jacob was the companion of Brady, the famous Indian Scout. Jacob is buried in Plum Twp, Allegheny Co (Westmoreland), PA. According to the history of Franklin, Jacob was a Justice of the Peace.

1810 census, Franklin, Westmoreland Co, PA: Jacob Haymaker with 6 males and 4 females in the household.

3 males under 10 (born 1800 - 1810) - prob. his sons George and Michael and an unknown male (could this be Frederick's son, Andrew?)

Notes for MARY "POLLY" RUGH:

This was the Mary Rugh who was captured by Seneca Indians on 13 July 1782, during the Revolutionary War. Her parents were captured and taken to Canada, where they were held as POWs by the British, and they were released at war's end. Mary was, reportedly, adopted by an old squaw and was held for 8 years.

Notes for FREDERICK HAYMAKER:

Frederick was baptized in the Christ Lutheran Evangelical Church at York, York County, Pennsylvania on 06 Dec 1772 at about 1 month of age. Nothing is known of his youth, but he may have been an Indian trader with his grandfather. Evidence from his letters indicates that he received a good education. The first published reference to him was in Mead Township, the site of the first settlement in Crawford Co, PA, where nine men landed at the site of Meadville on 12 May, 1788. David Mead patented a tract on the west bank of the French Creek, about one mile above Meadville, in the fall 1788, and he was followed by several men, including Frederick Haymaker, age 16. Note that Frederick's grandfather, Christopher Haymaker, had died in 1788. Albert (1896) wrote, "During 1789 the little colony known as 'Mead's settlement' was reinforced by the arrival of the family of Darius Mead, Frederick Baum, and Robert Fitz Randolph with their families, Frederick Haymaker [age 17], William Gregg, Samuel Lord and John Wentworth. From these two published references, we can conclude that as a teenager, Frederick Haymaker went to Meadville. I assume that he had traveled there by boat with his father to deliver supplies, and perhaps Frederick thought he could trade with the friendly native Americans in the area. Fred, however, was not found on a list of licensed Indian traders (research of Mary H. West).

"On April 1st, 1791, the settlers in Meadville were warned by Flying Cloud, a son of Chief Connedaughta, of threatened danger from the hostile western tribes, and on the same day eleven strange Indians were seen a few miles northwest of the settlement. The women and children of the colony were gathered within the Mead house and cellar and on the next day they were sent in canoes to Fort Franklin. The Indian chief, Half Town, who was a half-brother to Cornplanter, was encamped at the time with twenty-seven of his braves. Twelve of these he sent to guard the canoes, six on each side of the creek, and with his remaining warriors he joined the settlers in a fruitless search for the hostiles seen by Gregg. On the following day all the men departed for Franklin with their horses, cattle and moveable effects." For several years, the Meadville settlers had to be on their guard, and many times they left the area for the safety of the fort, with the men traveling back to Meadville to plant crops. The Western Indians were defeated in 1794 by General Wayne, and the settlers were able to return with their families.

Meadville was created in Dec 1795 from the northern part of Pitt Twp, where Frederick's father, Jacob, lived. He was also well known as an Indian trader during this time and in 1795 and 1796 was a member of Captain Van Horns Company of the Cussawago Militia. In about 1797, Fred married for the first time in Meadville, or perhaps he married near Pittsburgh if Eleanor lived there. He built and occupied a home on the northeast corner of North and Market Streets in Meadville and served as an early Justice of the Peace. In the year 1800, Frederick Haymaker was appointed Trustee for the newly formed county of Crawford, along with two other individuals. Fred was listed in the 1800 Meadville census, along with 2 males under 10, 1 female under 10, 1 male 16-25, 1 female 16-25, 4 males 26-44, and no slaves. Since his first known son was born in 1801, we don't know the identity of the two boys born between 1790 and 1800. Fred served as Meadville's first Postmaster from 01 Apr 1801 to 31 Dec 1802, and in 1805 was living in a log house he had built on Water Street.

Fred Haymaker reportedly espoused the cause of Aaron Burr and furnished him large amounts of money. Fred was reported to be the private secretary of Aaron Burr (Danner, 1904; Biographical and Historical Cyclopedia of Westmoreland County, PA, 1880) during the alleged conspiracy for which Burr was tried for treason in 1807. In 1805, Burr was still serving as Vice President of the US, but he did visit Pittsburgh during his trip west from April to September, 1805. It is very possible that Fred was not affiliated with Burr, since no proof of their relationship has been published. Further evidence against the assertion is found in "The Trial of Aaron Burr Homepage." In one of the letters published on the website, Burr's private secretary is named as "Mr. Willie." In fact, when Burr was traveling in the west, Fred's wife was probably pregnant. It would be helpful to know the exact birth dates of this child born about 1805 so we could better pinpoint Fred's whereabouts during Burr's travels. A History of the Borough of Bridgewater (Milestones, Vol 9, No. 3, Summer 1984) has a little about Burr's operation. It states, "In 1805 and 1806, he had a number of large cargo boats built near Brady's Run for use in his expedition down the Ohio River to New Orleans. Burr visited Sharon once during the progress of the enterprise to inspect the work and give directions for the future." The town of Sharon, PA is near Beaver, PA where Fred and his family lived so it's possible that they knew each other, and it's also possible that Fred gave money to Burr's cause. Burr is known to have spent the winter of 1805 in Washington and Philadelphia, but there is no record that Fred was with him. Burr began his second trip to the west in August 1806, but that fall Fred moved to Franklin, Ohio to join his family, already settled there. The "Norfolk Gazette and Publick Ledger," on 29 Dec 1806, published an extract of a letter dated 26 Nov 1806 from a gentleman in Meadville, PA to a member of Congress. In the letter, Frederick Haymaker is named, along with several other men, as the "adventurers" who "embarked from this town for Beaver, with the expressed intention of joining the secret expedition under Col. Burr." This could explain why Frederick left Beaver, Pennsylvania and arrived in the remote area of Franklin Township, Portage County, Ohio in the fall of 1806. Apparently, before he left PA, he gave testimony about Aaron Burr. The following was found in the Calendar of the Correspondence of James Madison (see full reference below): On 15 May 1807, John Wickham wrote, "As counsel for Aaron Burr, requests that copies be furnished him of three affidavits by Comfort Tyler, Luke Hill, and Frederick Haymaker, filed in the Department of State." A web site featuring information about Comfort Tyler had this: "Besides Comfort Tyler, there were some 25 others, all young men, who proceeded to Beaver, in Pennsylvania, to take part in the expedition." In December, 1806, a grand jury in Frankfort, KY returned a "no true bill" on the proposed indictment of Burr, but he was captured on Feb. 19, 1807 and held prisoner at Fort Stoddard. According to Troyer (1998) Frederick "had in his possession documents involving Burr's infamous trip into Louisiana Purchase territory, but he kept silent concerning events during those years" (p. 250). "His claim to fame, besides fathering 27 children with three wives, was his service as secretary to Aaron Burr during the latter's ill-fated expedition that let to his trial for treason" (Troyer, 1998, p. 142).

Frederick Haymaker arrived in the area now called Kent, Ohio in late fall 1806. Ohio was admitted as a state in 1802. Fred took up a large tract of land on 18 February in Franklin Mills, Portage Co, in what is now Kent (about 32 miles southeast of Cleveland). At that time the area was a wilderness. Frederick's father Jacob and brothers, John and George, were already in Franklin Township, being the first settlers to arrive there, John in 1805 and Jacob and George in early 1806. Frederick erected a log house and one of his grandchildren was the first white child born in Franklin Twp. Frederick's second wife, Rachel Davis died in childbirth in 1809. He has not been found on the 1810 census, but he could be the male age 26-44 living in the household of his brother, Jacob Haymaker. In Jacob's household there was also a male who could be Frederick's son, Andrew. Fred's four daughters were probably living with other family members in 1810. In 1818, Frederick and Joshua Woodard formed a partnership and built a woolen factory, dye-house, cabinet shop, a hotel, and a number of dwelling houses in what is now Kent, Ohio. This partnership dissolved in 1826 with Frederick retaining the mill property. Joshua had moved to Franklin Mills in 1818 and he owned a house at the intersection of Fairchild and Woodard Street. Recently, it was discovered that the house was one of several houses in Franklin Mills that served as a safe house for fugitive slaves. Woodard also owned a tavern located at Fairchild Ave. and Mantua Streets. "The family welcomed fleeing slaves into their tavern, and after dark, the family sneaked the slaves through the trees and into the crawl spaces under their home" (source: http://burr.kent.edu/stories/01-secret/index.html). This web site has a picture of the Woodard house showing a horse and buggy in front.

The Portrait and Biographical Record for Portage and Summit Counties states that Frederick was a prosperous man, of excellent character and much respected among the pioneers. The 1820 census shows that Fred was living in Brighton Township (formed 1816), Beaver Co, PA. His household consisted of 4 males under 10 (James D., Allen, William, Frederick), 1 male 16-26 (Andrew) and 1 male over 45 (Frederick). There were also 2 females under 10 (Rachel and Eliza or Rebecca), 1 female aged 10-16 (Sarah?), 2 females aged 16-26 (Margaret & ?), and 2 females aged 26 - 45 (Frederick's wife Mary and an unknown female). Frederick was appointed by the Governor as a Justice of the Peace on 30 March 1822 for several townships including the Borough of Beaver, South Beaver, Brighton, and Chippewa (PA Archives). By 1823, Frederick was running a woolen mill in Franklin, OH with his son, James Davis Haymaker. The 1830 census shows Fred was in Portage Co, OH. Between 1831 and 1832 he sold 100 acres of land and a fine water power in the upper village of Kent and moved to adjoining Trumbull County, Ohio where he farmed. He was about 59 years old at this time. Later he moved to Leavittsburg, where he established a flouring mill, in the company of the sons of his 3rd wife, including my ancestor Allen.

Fred had business dealings with John Brown, the well-known abolitionist. John Brown was called a "pioneer citizen of Crawford County, PA" (source: Centennial Edition of Daily Tribute, 1888) so it's likely that they met in Meadville. It is interesting that John Brown's 2nd wife was Mary A. Day (born 1 Apr 1816 in Washington Co, NY) whom he married when she was only 16 years old. They lived in Franklin Mills [present-day Kent], OH for a time, and Fred knew them during the years they all lived in Kent. According to Carton (2006), Fred, a "local farmer" sold close to 100 acres of prime land near Franklin Mills to John Brown in about 1835. Brown made a small down payment on the land, and moved his family into the large farmhouse [perhaps Frederick's house?] on the property in January, 1836. There are letters between them at the Ohio Historical Society in Columbus, OH. The letters that survived from 1835, 1836, and 1837 are primarily about money, with Fred begging John Brown to send him money to save him from ruin. In the letters he makes several guarded references to "the West." Frederick is also mentioned in the History of Kent by Karl H. Grismer (Kent, Ohio: The Courier-Tribune, 1932). Given Frederick's relationship with abolitionist John Brown and with Joshua Woodard, who was active in the underground railroad, it's possible that Frederick was also an abolitionist. No written evidence of this has yet been found but I think it might be worth more research.

Frederick Haymaker purchased from Henry A. Debois "the farm upon which I now reside and which are situae in township of Newton in section number 12 … part of lot No. 3 in the 5th range … in the northeast corner of land then on the 28th day of December A.D. 1835 owned by John Allen to the center of the Mahoning River to the place of beginning containing Sixty six acres. Also another 91 and 55/100 acres for $350.00 on 20 Sept 1840 with lawful interest. Witnesses: Hiram Austin (Justice of the Peace) and Augustus Stevens

Frederick is listed on the 1840 census in Newton Township, Trumbull Co, Ohio, and that is the last published reference found until his will was written on 18 Jan 1850 in Warren, Trumbull Co, OH. Fred's cause of death at age 78 was Eurocipelis, and he was buried on 23 March 1850 in Warren, probably in Leavittsburg, near where his son Jesse lived. Frederick may have been buried at the cemetery in Levittsburg located at Lovers Lane S18, 3/4 mile east of Leavittsburg on SR5, on N side between SR5 & the river. I visited the Leavittsburg, OH cemetery in July, 2007 but did not find any Haymaker stones. In the Trumbull Co, OH Library, I found a short obituary for Frederick Haymaker and for Mary, but there was no mention of where they were buried. In August, 2006, Fred's tombstone was located lying face down on private property in western San Antonio, Texas. According to the owner of the property, the stone had been there for at least 30 years and the family had used it as a stepping stone. They assumed a cemetery had once been on their property. As of this update, I do not know how his tombstone got to Texas. A picture of Frederick Haymaker's tombstone is posted on my website. The inscription, which is still legible, contains these words:

fred'k haymaker died 3/22/1850 age 78

could final love have stood his vital breath or found affections

sooth a relenteless death then would this marble not so soon

told where surviving friend may meet and shead a tear [a very sentimental engraving, probably done by Mary]

gager of keller [Tombstone engravers]

warren o [no doubt this stands for Warren Co, OH]

Fred's will left property to his wife Mary Swan. He also willed property to his son, Jesse S. Haymaker, and requested that his "unfortunate child Sarah, who is afflicted with lunacy" continue living with his family and be maintained by his wife Mary during Sarah's life. He deeded $200 should Sarah outlive his wife, and asked that a suitable person be appointed as her guardian, and "see to it that the said Sarah be tenderly treated and kindly treated." An interesting part of the will referred to a loan made by his father Jacob to the state of Virginia. It reads, "In the event of a recovery of the property or money due my father Jacob Haymaker from the State of Virginia for which I have prepared a claim as the heir of said Jacob." Frederick asked that such property or money be evenly divided between all of his children by his 1st, second, and third wives. He left "all the residue of my property" to the children of his 3rd wife, who were all named. His son Jesse S. and his wife were named, with Samuel Quimby, Esq., as executors.

Notes for RACHEL DAVIS:

Davis (1912) wrote in his history of the Davis Family that "Rachel Davis must have been a very bright and attractive girl of seventeen to win the heart and hand of Frederick Haymaker (p. 70).

Notes for MARY SWAN:

At the age of 22, Polly became the 3rd wife of Frederick Haymaker. Reverend William Swan, a minister of the Long Run Church, resided in Westmoreland County and could be a relative. The 1810 census shows Rev. William Swan in North Huntington, Westmoreland Co, PA but there is no female Mary's age listed. However, Frederick Haymaker's will mentions a James Swan, of Maryland or Kentucky, and notes that Mary was one of his heirs. Was James Swan her father? If James Swan was her father and he died young, Mary would have been assigned a guardian. It may never be possible to trace her ancestry unless guardianship papers are located.

1860 census, Warren, Trumbull Co, OH Mary Haymaker (70) is shown as living with her son Henry (25) and daughter Frances (27). Henry was a Miller with personal property of $200, and Mary had real estate worth $800 and property worth $400. On 18 Sep 1827, Jesse Swan married Sarah Irwin of Westmoreland Co, PA. Could Jesse be a brother of Mary? Mary's tombstone has not yet been located and her obituary does not mention where she was buried.

Notes for SARAH HAYMAKER:

Sarah must be the daughter named in her father's will called "afflicted with lunacy." In 1850 Sarah (40) was living with her brother Jesse and mother, probably in the family home in Leavittsburg. This would make her birth date closer to 1810, but since her mother died in 1807, her age in 1850 was listed incorrectly.

He married SARAH "SALLIE" LIGGITT¹⁷ Abt. 1798, daughter of PATRICK LIGGETT and JANE JOST. She was born Abt. 1775 in PA, and died June 15, 1869 in Kent, Portage Co, Ohio age 94.

Notes for JOHN HAYMAKER:

John was baptized on August 19, 1774 in Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, York, PA. He served in the War of 1812, Capt. Thomas Rice's Co. of Ohio Militia. John is known as the first settler in Portage Co, Ohio. The Davis Family History (Davis, 1912) includes a note that "John was the friend and companion of Brady, the famous Indian scout, and was the first to measure the distance Brady had leaped across the Cuyahoga, when he escaped the pursuing Indians" (p. 70). John came to Portage Co, OH in Oct 1805, traveling by oxcart. He settled in Kent, on the Cuyahoga River, coming from Warren, Ohio where they had located a year previously. On about 1 Nov 1805, John and his family took possession of a crude cabin in the wilderness left by the surveyors which stood just west of where the upper bridge now stands. The settlement came to be known as Franklin Mills due to his gristmill that was powered by a nearby waterfall. By 1835, the population of Franklin Mills had grown to nearly 1,400 people. The Haymaker family was known as "honest, upright and hardy, and these traits we know are as surely handed down from the mother as the father" (source Portage County, History of Kent 1805-1850). Present-day Kent is located about 32 miles SE of Cleveland, OH. John is buried in Stow St. Cemetery, Kent, Portage Co, OH.

Notes for SARAH "SALLIE" LIGGITT:

Sally lived to the age of 94, after having resided in the Kent area for 64 years. Her daughter Emily was the first female white child born in the township. Emily later recalled that when they moved to the area, their only neighbors were the Indians.

1850 census, Franklin, Portage Co, OH: Jacob (44) and Laura (38) Haymaker with other Haymakers named Catherine (46), Sarah (75), likely Jacob's mother, and Emily (30). Jacob was a Physician. Catherine and Emily are probably Jacob's sisters.

1860 census, Franklin Mills, Portage Co, OH: Sarah Haymaker (85) with daughters Catherine (57) and Emily (48). Sarah C. Haymaker (19) was also listed, and she was a Common School Teacher. Catherine's occupation was Seamstress.

Notes for CATHERINA HAYMAKER:

Catherine was a sister of Frederick Haymaker, who was married to Rachel Davis. After Rachel's death, Catherine carried her baby, James D. on horseback, from Franklin Mills, to James Davis' home, near Meadville, PA. This was a long, lonely ride over primitive roads and through a primeval forest (source: http://www.accessgeneaology.com/surnames/davis/page29.htm). I would guess that she was accompanied by the baby's father, Frederick, or other family members.

Notes for SAMUEL DAVIS:

Samuel was one of the few slave owners in Meadville, PA, but he had only one, a negro woman named Vine. A descendant stated that he inherited Vine from his father (Davis, 1912, p. 224). A court record in Crawford Co. PA shows, "William Davis, farmer of Mead Township, Crawford County, returns to the clerk of the Peace of said county, one female mulatto child, called Dinah, born on the 25th day of April last, of his negro woman Vine. Sworn and certificate filed January 30, 1804." He was buried in Meadville, PA in the "Old Burying Ground." Samuel's remains were moved to Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Union Twp, Crawford Co, PA. Samuel was an uncle of Rachel Davis, the 2nd wife of Frederick Haymaker.

A manuscript written in 1941 states that "John Haymaker, son of Jacob, always lived with his grandfather Rugh, and Michael Rugh III gave him his farm, flour mill, and saw mill. The house was built by his, John's, grandfather Rugh, and stands to this day, December 2, 1941, and is in good condition. It was patterned after a Philadelphia mansion, as he thought. The house is of stone with Corinthian columns. The walls are one foot thick. He was very proud of his home. It was called "The Big Stone House." It had four chimneys. Today the house is on Bull Town Rd. between Newlinsburg and Poke Run on land that once belonged to Michael Rugh. Nearby is the Bull Town golf course. John was also very proud of a tree he raised from the seed of an apple. The apples were so large they would not go into a tin cup, and they were as white as porcelain. He had brought the original apple from Philadelphia. Michael Rugh III was a member of the Continental Congress and often rode horseback to Philadelphia" (p. 18). After his father and brothers relocated to Ohio, John was the only one of his family left in PA. His sons all became wealthy farmers and leading men of the township. His grandsons, Michael and Obediah Haymaker, drilled the first gas well in the country in Murrysville in 1878.

All five sons of John H. served in the Civil War and survived. John and Ann are buried in Murrysville, PA Presbyterian Cemetery.

Notes for JAMES DAVIS HAYMAKER:

James D. was raised [probably in Meadville, PA] by his maternal grandparents for the first ten years of his life, and received only a limited education. A descendant of James (Margaret Merrill) wrote in 1955 that James D. was taken to Meadville, PA by his father after his mother's death. "He lived in Meadville with his grandparents for the first ten years of his life, and for the next four years he lived in Beaver, PA." At the age of 14, he moved to Franklin Twp, OH and worked for his father in the woolen mill. He never saw a schoolhouse until 10 years of age, when he went to live with his father in about 1819. Frederick had married for the third time, and was living at Brady's Run, Beaver Co, PA. In James' youth he became thoroughly acquainted in his father's factory with the woolen manufacturing business, located at Franklin Mills (now Kent).

The following story about James Haymaker, son of Frederick, was in Troyer's (1998) book. James had a swelling in his neck and was given up for dead. The first physician in Ravenna was Dr. Joseph DeWolf, who held down James while another physician, a Dr. Stocking, pierced the swelling in Haymaker's neck. The cause of the swelling was a feather that had become lodged in the throat. John recovered and lived for many years.

James D. served as a Justice of the Peace for several terms, and was a School Director many times. At the age of 21, he engaged for two years in the manufacture of wooden pails in Franklin Mills; the next two years he had charge of a hotel at Fairport, on Lake Erie; then returning to Franklin he engaged in farming. "J.D. Haymaker has always been an ardent Republican and during the darkest days of the civil war was firm in his support of the administration in aid of the Union cause, contributing liberally of his means, and invariably exerting his influence to the end that the union should be preserved" (Betty Ralph, 2000). In 1880, James and Mary R. still had two children at home, William, age 20 and Abbie M., age 16. According to History of Portage County, Ohio, published by Warner, Beers & Co, in 1885, James was a farmer. He died intestate. Undertaker Records for Kent, Portage Co, OH (Vol. 1, 1869-1889) indicate that James died of "old age." Letters of Administration provided that his widow and O.F. Haymaker were appointed as administrators of the estate. James and his wife are buried in Standing Rock Cemetery, Kent, Portage Co, OH.

Notes for ALLEN R. HAYMAKER:

Allen Haymaker was born in Portage Co. Ohio or Beaver Co, PA in 1812, as the War of 1812 commenced, and five years after Aaron Burr was tried for treason. His father had distanced himself from Burr around the time the conspiracy was unearthed, by moving from PA to Ohio in 1806, near where his father and brothers were living in present-day Kent. Allen was the eldest son of Frederick's 3rd wife, Mary Swan, who was only about 23 when Allen was born into a family of at least 7 half siblings, aged 3 - about 15. By the time Allen was born, his father was well established in Kent as a business man who owned property in both Beaver Co, PA and Portage Co, Ohio, and Fred probably traveled back and forth often. Nothing is known of Allen's life or education as he grew up, but when he was about 24 years old, his parents moved to Newton Falls, Trumbull Co, Ohio. Fred corresponded during 1835 - 1837 with John Brown, the well known abolitionist, and Allen is mentioned in several of the letters. It's clear that he delivered at least some of the letters in person. Unfortunately, Allen left no written record of his interactions with John Brown.

Allen married his first wife in 1837, and they lived in Trumbull Co. and Defiance Co, Ohio as their six children were born between 1838 - and 1851. Allen's father died in 1850 and, in about 1851, he moved to Defiance Co, Ohio. After 1851, he moved his family to Madison Township, Wayne Co, Iowa. He has not been located on the 1850 census. He and Rhoda were listed in the Madison Twp, Wayne Co, Iowa census in 1856. He was listed as age 45 and Rhoda's age was 39. Their children were: Edwin, 18, Marion, 17, Frederick, 15, John, 13, Charles, 7, and Antoinette, 4. Allen's occupation was farmer and he was a voter. At that time the population of Wayne was 313. After Rhoda died, Allen quickly married Eliza A. Mead. Allen and Eliza moved to Kansas in 1869, only 15 years after it was opened to settlement, and he stayed in Big Creek Township for the remainder of his life. In 1870, he purchased 160 acres of farmland in Leanna, KS. His family lived next door to Aaron W. Reed's family, and their children went to school together. He was listed as a farmer on the 1880 census along with wife Eliza and sons Frank and Fred L. Also living with the family was Eliza's sister, Harriet, a widow and teacher, aged 51. His obituary states, "for more than 13 years, Mr. Haymaker was an invalid, and suffered intensely. He was a man of high character, and bore a good name wherever he was known." Allen died at age 77; he and Eliza are buried in Leanna Cemetery, Neosho Co, Kansas.

Notes for ELIZA A. MEAD:

It is known that Eliza's grandfather moved to Cortland Co, NY before 1810, and that her father, Abraham, died 1849 in Cincinnatus (part of Solon until 1804). The first permanent settlers in Solon were Roderick Beebe and Johnson Bingham in 1794, and an early settler of Solon was Benjamin Beebe (probably cousins). Solon, NY was organized 9 March 1798, and the first church in Solon was formed in 1804. After her father died, the family lived for a while with her brother. In about 1856, Eliza moved with her mother and sister, Harriet, from Cortland Co, New York to Jones Co, Iowa, when she was 34 years of age. She had an older brother, George, who had moved to Jones Co, Iowa several years earlier. After her marriage she became step-mother to four children, including Anna Haymaker Hess. She and Allen sold property in Jones Co. Iowa on 22 May 1864 for the sum of $3,300. They sold more land on 23 July, 1866 to Silas Robbins for $450. It appears that the land was the property of Eliza since she is listed first on the document. According to her obituary, she trained them up "with true material fidelity. Mrs. Haymaker's life was not an eventful one, but was marked by the beauty of Christian graces." According to her obituary, in 1834 she became a Christian and united with the M.E. Church. The discourse at her funeral was based on Job 14:14 and the funeral was attended by "a large congregation being present." After Eliza's death, Frank and Fred inherited their parents' land which adjoined the Reed property.

The History of Defiance County, Ohio Illustrated (1883) contains a small biography of W.D. Haymaker. He was a state representative from 1858 - 1860. One early road project resulted in 1836 when a bill was introduced into the Ohio Senate to "incorporate the Brunersburg and Hicksville Railroad Company. William D. Haymaker, Gilman C. Mudgett, Rufus Kibber, Samuel Mapes, and Ephraim Burwell were appointed commissioners to receive stock subscriptions" (p. 107). The village of Defiance was incorporated in 1836 and in Feb. 1840, the first sidewalks were ordered. The town blocks to be included in the sidewalk order covered most of the town with "W.D. Haymaker furnishing the lumber at $10.37 per thousand and Evans and Royce laying the walk at 30 cents per rod. The walks were but three feet in width" (p. 159).

M.L. Cook visited the Defiance County, OH Courthouse on 6 July 2007 and examined land deeds. W.D. Haymaker had a record of land transactions in 1834 when he picked up multiple village lots from Daniel Bruner & wife, and Henry Zeller & wife. Again on 23 Aug 1834, he purchased more land from Daniel Bruner, et al. William sold two lots in 1837. He quit claimed 1/4 interest to Brice Hilton in 1847 for 24 lots. On 29 Nov 1849, William purchased two lots from William Zeller near the Maume River.

William and Elizabeth are buried in Brunersburg Cemetery, Defiance Co, OH. Their stones were photographed by M.L. Cook on July 6, 2007. William's stone is a tall, thin pillar inscribed with his name, death date, and a hand with a finger pointing toward heaven. The cemetery is located on Christy Road in Noble Twp, just off SR 15, about 1/2 mile west of US 24 by-pass. The Haymaker stones are in a single row, under a large oak tree in Section 6, Row 18 (from Christy Rd facing the cemetery, section 6 is on the right, in the back of the cemetery). Elizabeth R's first husband, Eber Hilton, is also buried in the Brunersburg Cemetery along with several other Hiltons. Their stones are near the Haymakers but at the far back of the cemetery.

Services were held at the M.E. Church, conducted by Rev. Joe Goodsell, interment being made in the Garden Grove cemetery by the side of the remains of her husband."

Children's names and approximate birth dates were obtained from the 1860 census. According to his newspaper obituary, he studied law and was a clerk in the legislature during the winter of 1834-35. In December 1835, he relocated to Defiance Co, Ohio where he engaged in merchandising, milling, and farming. A deed located by M.L. Cook in the Defiance Co., Ohio Courthouse shows that Gilman purchased land from Jesse Hilton on 24 June 1836. In 1842, Gilman was elected a member of the Ohio Legislature. In 1847, he moved to DeKalb Co, IN and farmed until 1853, when he moved to Jones Co, Iowa where Rebeka's brother, Allen, was living. He moved to High Point Twp in 1860, and "in August 1861, he raised a company which was mustered into the service as Company L, Third Iowa Cavalry.

Real estate valued at $7,000 (source: US census 1850, M432-733, p. 403). I would guess this group was living in the Frederick Haymaker home.

Prior to his death, Jesse stayed 5 days at the Barnum Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri (source: St. Louis Probate records online). Haymaker researcher, Don Vatne, located a biography of a man named William Norton Ayers, who apparently started a bank with Jesse Haymaker in Fort Smith, Arkansas. "The bank he started with his partner, Mr. Haymaker, was short lived. Haymaker absconded with the funds. Ayers tracked him down and persuaded him to return. However, Haymaker ended up shooting himself in a St. Louis hotel room before they made it back to Fort Smith." According to the Coroner's Inquest Database (www.sos.mo.gov) Jesse died by his own hand of a morphine overdose. Online Probate records show that after payment of outstanding bills, Jesse's widow received $46.93. Jesse and Abbie are buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Howland Twp (near Warren), Trumbull Co, OH.
