Campbellite, in 1875, costing about $600. The school-house is a frame two-room, 24x50 building, erected in 1874-5 at a cost of about 82,000. The Baldwin flouring mill was built by James Scott & Son in 1876. The property after changing hands several times, came into the possession of the present proprietor, S. IL. Johnston, in 1880. It has two run of burrs and a capacity of twenty-four barrels a day. The saw mill was moved from St. Clair county in 1874 or '75. It is owned by Holden & Johnston. The grain house of W. B Pres'on was built by its present owner, in 1877, at a cost of 82,200. The grain is elevated by steam at the rate of four hundred bushels an hour. From seventy- five thousand to a hundred thousand bushels of wheat are handled annually. The grain is discharged from the bins directly into the cars of the Cairo & St Louis railroad.

TILDEN.


RANDOLPH CO.


HIE precinct of Tilden is situated in the extreme northern part of the county. It is bounded north by St. Clair and Washington counties, east hy Coulter- ville, south by Sparta and Central and west by Baldwin. The surface is rolling prairie, with but little timber. The precinct is made up from parts of township 4, range 5, and township 4, range 6, the greater portion being in the latter township. It occupies portions


of Grand Cote and Flat prairies, the soil of which is very rich and productive. Plum creek and its several tributa- ries, drain the lands and furnish water for stock purposes.


The Cairo Short Line Railroad traverses the northeast corner, ou the line of which is located the village of Tilden, which gives facilities for the shipment of stock and produce. Wheat is the principal crop, although corn, oats, hay, fruits and vegetables are cultivated and yields abundantly. About 1840 the chief industry was the cultivation of castor beans, and it is related that most of the money with which


408


HISTORY OF RANDOLPH, MONROE AND PERRY COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.


the lands were entered in this precinct, was obtained from the production of this article. There were several oil mills then operated in the county. Since 1860 but little of this product has been grown. There is, at this writing, consider- able attention being paid to fruit growing, especially among the Scotch citizens, who form a great portion of the popula- tion. The raising of s ock also receives a fair share of at- tention. About the first blooded stock was the Durham breed introduced by B. Crawford, some time during the de- cade of 1850-60 Daniel McIntosh introduced the Alder- ny stock about 1872. In the business of sheep raising, there has existed quite a rivalry between the Sco ch settlers. Among the breeds popular with them are Merinos, the Southdowns and the Cottswolds. Matthew Kirkwood, John Andrews and W. J. Crawford are among the leading men engaged in this industry.


Samuel Henry, James Clark and Nathan Davis, all set- tled here about the same time and improved the first farms in the precinct. These parties entered their land, upon which they settled prior to or about 1820. We will here give a few of the earliest land entries which will show the names of others who probably settled here.


Nov. 17th, 1818, Samuel Stublefield entered W. ¿ , S. E. 4, Sect. 19, 80 acres, Same date Samuel F. Henry entered W. ¿ , N E. 4, Sect 19, 80 acres. Nov. 17th, 1818, James Clark entered E. 3, N. E. }, Sect. 18, 80 acres March 9th, 1819, Nathan Davis entered the E. ¿ , S W. , Sect. 8, 80 acres The above entries are in township No. 4 south, range 5 west. The following entries are in township No. 4 south, range 6 west. March 9th, 1818, Hugh Leslie entered the E. 2, S. W. }, and the W. ¿ , S. E. } of Sect. No. 20, 160 acres. Aug. 5th, 1818, W. C. Ballard entered the E. }, N. E. 4, Sect. 23, 80 acres.


It does not always follow where these early entries were made that the parties became actual settlers, for in many cases the lands were entered by those who were never residents of the county.


James Strahan, a Pennsylvanian, came as early as 1822, and located on the E } of S. W. } of section 8, T. 4, R. 5, which tract he purchased of Nathan Davis. Strahan, brought with him a wife and family-John, Blair, Jane, Margaret, Mary Ann and Nancy, were the names of his children. John married Mary Boyd, and entered land in section 9, and resided there until his death, about 1860. Blair married Jane Campbell, and is still living on section 8. Jane married Thomas Lindsay, who entered land and settled in S. E. } of section 13, about 1828 Mary Ann died single. Margaret became the wife of John Hair, and Nancy the wife of Alexander McGuire, who first settled on vacated land in section 18, remained in the county a few years, and finally located in Washington county.


John and William K. McDill, brothers, and natives of South Carolina, came to the county with their father, in 1819 or '20. He settled in the vicinity of Sparta, and John and William K. hecame early residents of this precinct, locating in section 21. John reared a large and much respected family of children, several of whom are living in this part of the county. William K. McDill, was born in


1797, and after coming to this county married Janett Mun- ford, in 1823. His father's name was John. He also came with the family to the county, but died in 1824. His mother died in South Carolina. William McDill's children were John, James, Robert, Thomas, Jane, Margaret and a daughter who died young. Some of them are living in this county.


Samuel Boyd, Sr., was a native of Ireland, horn in 1777. He was married in South Carolina, to Nancy Varner, and came to Tilden, about 1825. He settled on section 17, where he improved a good farm. His children, brought from South Carolina, were Samuel L, Margaret, Eliza, Agnes, Jane, Mary, Sarah, Abigail and Rebecca. Samuel L married Jane Gibson, located on section 17, improved a farın, and rema ned there until his death, leaving a large family. He was twice married, and all the daughters except Sarah, married and had families.


Anderson Jones, from Lincoln connty, Tennessee, came about 1829, and located on section 19, where he remained a few years, and then moved to Jackson county, this State. He brought with him a large family, but none of them are now living in this county.


Stewart Burns, from South Carolina, came with a wife and family, and selected a home on the N E. } of section 19, in 1830. He improved a fine farm, upon which he resided until his death, about 1865. His wife was Sarah Gillespie, daughter of James Gillespie, an old resident of Washington county. She is still living on the old home- stead. Burns served as a soldier in the war of 1812 and was a much respected citizen in the community. He rearcd a family of intelligent children, many of whom reside in various parts of the county, and are much respected in their community. Hugh C. Gault, also from Lincoln county, Tennessee, was another early arrival. He came in 1831, and brought with him a family of five or six children. In the latter years of his life he resided in Sparta, where in 1878, he died, at the age of 86 years.


William Edmiston, a native Virginian, was one of the prominent arrivals of 1832. He came here from Tennessee, from where he had enlisted. in the war of 1812, and where in 1816, he married Sarah Askins. He emigrated to Illinois in 1832, making his home on the N. W. } of section 5, T. 4, R. 6, in the spring of that year. He entered three or four hundred acres of land, and became one of the prosperous citizens of the county. His children were Albert, Harmon, William, Rufus, James, John, Polly, Sarah and Taylor. John Edmiston, a younger brother of William Edmiston, came with his family, to this county, and in 1832 located on the N. E. } of section 19, where he improved a good farm, and reared a large family, none of whom are now residing in the precinct. His children brought with him to this county, were John, Abner, Thirsa, Betsy, Susan and Rhoda.


John McMillan, Mark Wilson and Mrs. Sarah Clark and their families were among the early settlers here.


William Chambers, a native of South Carolina, and another old veteran of the war of 1812, emigrated with his family to this county in 1822, and settled here. He reared a large family, improved a good farm, and died in 1840.

HISTORY OF RANDOLPH, MONROE AND PERRY COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.


The first settlers in this precinct located along the various streams where water and timber were plenty, and it was not until about 1833 that the prairies began to be settled.


The first mill was constructed by Samuel Boyd on his place about 1831. It was what is known as a horse-mill. Rude as it was, it served a good purpose in its day. Near this mill, in section 17, was the first grave-yard in the pre- cinet. Sarah Boyd was the first person buried there.


Schools were early taught and have been liberally main- tained. The first church erected was in 1864 by the Pres- byterian denomination. It was constructed of brick, and stands on the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 7. Rev. Gibson was the earliest preacher. Dr. Marshall was the earliest physician, locating here as early as 1840.


VILLAGE OF TILDEN.


This thriving little village was laid out by William Ed- miston, Robert Matthews and William G. Crawford, and surveyed and platted by James D. Thompson, county sur- veyor. The plat was recorded in the office of the circuit 52


clerk May 8, 1871. The first building was a hotel, built by Daniel MeIntire in the spring of 1871. A post-office was established the same year, with James Watt as post-master. The first blacksmith shop was opened by P. T. Jones in April, 1871. The first goods sold in a building used for that purpose was by William Poyle, prior to the laying out of the town in 1860. The village is situated on the line of the Cairo Short Line Railroad, and is quite a shipping point, and a great convenience to the inhabitants of the precinct.

AMONG representatives of the Scotch-Irish population, none is more deserving of reeognition for true worth than Hugh Mathews. He was born in county Antrim, Freland, June 26th, 1826 His parents, both natives of Scotland, came to Ireland because of religious persecution in their native land. Thomas Mathews, his father, was a manufae- turer of linen. A son Robert came to this country in 1838, and was so favorably impressed with its fitness for a home, as to induce his father and family to follow snit, which they


did in 1>40. The family located near where Hugh now lives. Hugh Mathews was united in marriage to Miss Jane Maguire, Dec. 23rd, 1851. By this union there are three children ; Eliza C. Naney Emma and Thomas Henry. Mr. Mathews and wife are members of the Reformed Presbyterian church, and in its work are devoted, earnest and zealous. The par- ents of Hugh both died in this county ; the father Thomas in 1874, at the age of ninety-three, and the mother, whose maiden name was Naney Ross, in 1864.


HARRISONVILLE.


MONROE COUNTY.


ـالحرا


ARRISONVILLE precinct lies wholly in the American Bottom, and comprises a large area of rich and productive farm- ing land. This part of the bottom in early years contained a numerous popu- lation, and some of the most noted men of the earlier times of Illinois here had their homes. The old town of Harri- sonville on the river was selected as the seat of justice of the new county of Monroe on its formation, and for some years was the most important point in the county. The improvement rights granted in this precinct show that a number of settlements were made between the years 1780 and 1790. These settlements were along the bluff and in the bottom of the vicinity of Harrisonville. Claim 511, survey 497, now owned by William Bamber, immediately south of Harrisonville, was confirmed to the heirs of John Ellison. The testimony before the Board of Commissioners to examine land claims within the Kaskaskia district showed that Ellison had come to this place in 1783, and had grubbed a few aeres of land adjoining L'Aigle (Eagle) and had died in the country in the same year.


The site of the main portion where the town of Harrison- ville was first improved by John Jones, and was affirnied by the board of commissioners in 1809 to John Payne. The elaim next north, 580, was granted in right of an improve- ment made by George Wear. It was affirmed by Governor St. Clair to James Gillham in 1813 to the same person. Claim 554, survey 421, near Moredock lake, on the north- ern boundary of the precinct, was first improved by Peter Zipp, and was in the ownership of his heirs for many years. Claim 510 was confirmed to Tobias Brashears. The fort erected in this vicinity during the Indian War from 1786 to 1795 was called Brashear's Fort.


In the year 1794 the population in the American Bottom received an important addition in the person of Shadrach Bond, a nephew of Judge Shadrach Bond. He was born in Frederick county, Maryland, in 1773, the son of Nicholas Bond, and was twenty-one years of age when he came to Illinois. He had received a plain English education, and his early life had been spent on a farm. Reynolds says that " he learned much useful knowledge of all the various moving principles of the human heart, and was nature's nobleman, edu- cated in the wide world of the human family, with his con- science and sound judgment as his unerring preceptors." For some years he resided with his uncle, and indulged much in the gayety and amusements of the country at that day. He afterward purchased a farm on the bank of 412


Moredock Lake, where he resided till his removal to Kas- kaskia in 1814. He was elected a member of the general assembly of Indiana territory, which met at Vincennes, and in 1812 was sent to Congress as the first delegate from the territory of Illinois. Chiefly through his exertions, Con- gress in 1813 passed the first act granting the right of pre- emption of the public lands, a measure which was of the greatest importance in securing the development of Illinois. He was next appointed receiver of public moneys at the Kas- kaskia land office, and in 1814 removed to a farm in the vicinity of Kaskaskia. On the admission of Illinois into the Union as a State, he was chosen without opposition the first Governor, and after the expiration of his term of office was made register of the land office in Kaskaskia, in which office he remained for many years. He died in 1830.


Two brothers of Governor Bond, Nicodemus and Joshua Bond, also made their homes in the American Bottom. The latter resided here but a few years, and then removed to St. Louis, and afterward to Vincennes. Several of the sons of Joshua Bond acquired reputation at the bar.


The point of the bluff near the northern boundary of Har- risonville precinct, known as Salt Lake point, marks the place where the manufacture of salt was carried on in early time. This saline trade was one of the earliest established in the West. General John Edgar, of Kaskaskia, was its first proprietor, and placed it iu operation about the year 1802. Among its subsequent owners was a man named Boise, one of the early residents of the town of Harrisonville. He em- ployed Thomas Marrs to work the saline, and he had charge of it three years. At this time there were twelve wells sunk. Considerable salt was manufactured for a time which brought a good price.


Just north of the present town of Harrisonville, lived Dr. Caldwell Cairnes, who was well-known all over the country in early times, as an excellent physician. He came to Illi- nois from Pennsylvania, soon after the year 1800. Ile bought a fine farm under cultivation, which he called Wal- nut Grove. He was fond of agriculture, and farmed, for those days, on a large scale. He attended, likewise, to his profession, and had a large practice among the residents of the bottom. He was elected a Justice of the Peace, and also one of the Judges of the St. Clair County Court. (Before Monroe county was organized.) He was sent as one of the delegates, from Monroe county, to the convention which formed the first constitution of the State of Illinois. He was one of the active working members of that body. He was a man of sound mind, and was honest in his transactions with the public, and upright in his deportment. He died on

his farm, leaving behind him a good reputation, and a large estate. One of his daughters married Gen. James Semple, who was at one time one of the Supreme Judges of Illinois, United States Senator, and Minister to Bogota. He died a few years since, as did also his wife, at their home near Elsah, Jersey county, Illinois. Thomas and Edward Todd were also early settlers in the bottom, Thomas not far from Harrisonville, and Edward in Moredock precinct.


Claim 1726, on which Harrisonville is built, was formerly owned by John and Alexander Jameson. They were brothers. John died previous to 1826. The Levisee family lived at Harrisonville some years, and removed from there to More- dock precinct. A man named Gallatin owned, at one time, a large tract of land below Harrisonville, including the place now owned by Thomas Holland. Close to the mouth of the Monroe City hollow, Abraham Bivens lived about 1830. On the "sand hill," as it is called, near the Willow ford bridge, Hugh Ralston lived in 1825. Below the Monroe City hol- low, under the bluff, lived Turner Todd, and farther down the Lewis family. Just north of Dr. Cairnes, on Fountain creek, was the residence of Bradley Rust. He was from one of the New England States. For a number of years he served as a Justice of the Peace, till he was succeeded in that office by Noah B. Harlow. He moved to Waterloo, and died there.


The James family, of Welsh origin, were among the early settlers in the American Bottom. Joseph Austin James em- igrated to Illinois in 1803, accompanied by his son, Thomas James, who was born in Maryland, in the year 1782, and James A. He moved to Missouri in 1807, where he died. Thomas James made his first trip to the Rocky mountains in 1809, and returned in 1810. He was in the store at Harrisonville for several years following the autumn of 1815, and in 1821 embarked on a hazardous expedition to New Mexico. He was made a general of the Illinois militia in 1825, and the same year was elected a member of the Leg- islature, where he served two years. He was appointed postmaster at Monroe City, then called James' Mills, in 1827; in 1832 served as major in the Black Hawk war, and died at Monroe City, in December, 1847.


Col. James A. James, son of Joseph A. James, was born in Kentucky, in 1798, and received a good education, attend- ing the college at Beardstown, Kentucky. He married Miss Susan O'Hara, a native of Monroe county. Col. James was a man of considerable prominence in the county. His residence was first in Renault precinct, and subsequently at Harrisonville. He was a farmer, by occupation ; represented Monroe and St. Clair counties in the State Legislature four years. In 1827, he was colonel of State militia. Austin James, son of Col. James, was born in the county in 1823. Was a farmer; served in the Sixth Illinois Regiment dur- ing the Mexican war ; Justice of the Peace several years ; served in the State Legislature in 1864 and in 1872, and has been postmaster at Mitchie.


BRIDGEWATER.


The old town of Bridgewater, on the Mississippi, nearly a mile above Harrisonville, was laid out by George Forquer


shortly after the year 1818. Forquer was the proprietor of a store in partnership with his brother-in-law, William F. Roberts, who was a millwright by trade. A man named Meisner, a son-in-law of Dr. Caldwell Cairnes, kept store there for a time. The high water of the spring of 1826 covered the most of the town site and drove the few inhabi- tants to higher and more favored locations. Sylvester Har- low, father of Noah B. Harlow, came here in 1826; he was a native of Maine, came to Illinois in 1818, and previous to settling at Bridgewater, had lived in the American Bottom near Kaskaskia ; at this time the town of Bridgewater con- tained ten or twelve houses, mostly built of hewed logs, but the Harlow family were the only inhabitants. There was some trouble about the titles to the lots which had been sold, and finally about 1828 or 1829 Sylvanus Harlow pur- chased the whole town site from Guy Morrison, who claimed ownership. He was the owner till some time before his death, when he conveyed the land to his daughter, Lucinda, who had married William Kinney. Harlow at one time opened a small store; in 1830 he put up a distillery, a flour_ ing mill, and a saw mill, all run by the same engine ; these were in operation five or six years, till the encroachments of the river made advisable the removal of the buildings. Soon after 1828 it became a shipping point, and Mr. Harlow dealt largely in wood, which he sold to the steamers naviga- ting the river. The wood business a. the river landings was large and profitable in those days. Sylvanus Harlow died at Bridgewater. Major X. F. Trail opened a store in 1835, and after carrying it on two or three years, removed to Columbia. The water had been cutting away the river bank for years, and by 1844 the greater part of the town site had disappeared. It is now all in the river.


HARRISONVILLE.


The first seat of justice of Monroe county was at the old town of Harrisonville, some distance west of the present town of that name. The waters of the Mississippi now sweep over its site. The first town projected here was called Car- thage. The Legislature of the territory of Illinois at its ses- sion in Kaskaskia during the winter of 1816-17, authorized the name of it to be changed to Harrisonville ; the act bears the date of the twenty-first of December, 1816. The new name was given it in honor of Gen. William Henry Har- rison, who had occupied the position of Governor of the northwestern territory. and who was afterward elected Pres- ident of the United States. Hle invested in several tracts of land in the bottom above Harrisonville, mostly in the pres- ent Moredock precinct, the ownership of which he retained till his death.


The site of the town came into the possession of John Edgar, of Kaskaskia, who sold it to the firm of MeKnight & Brady; * a man named Boise was proprietor of a store at
