REBECCA GAMBREL.
THE subject of this sketch is the oldest settler now living in De Witt County. She is the daughter of John and Nancy Barr, and was born in South Carolina, April 2Ist, 1806. Her father was a native of the North of Ireland. He emigrated to America and settled in the Carolinas ; afterwards removed to Tennessee, then to Indiana, and in 1837 came to Illinois and settled in Logan Connty where he died. IIe married Nancy Hamilton, a native of South Carolina. She also died in Logan County, Ill. Rebecca is among the older children, of which there were eleven. Four of them still survive, viz., Mrs. Gambrel, John, Thomas and Lewis Barr. On the 15th of May, 1823, Rebecca was united in marriage to Prettyman Marvel, who was a native of Georgia. The marriage was solemnized in Indiana. Two years after that event, Mr. Marvel left Gibson County, Indiana, came to Illinois, and settled near where the town of Waynesville now stands. At that time they were the only white residents or people in this section of the country. The nearest settlement was ten miles away. Other settlers, however, came soon after, and together these early pioneers subdued the wilderness and made it habit- able for their posterity and coming generations. Prettyman Marvel was horn May 8th, 1801, and died July 23d, 1842. In September, 1847, Mrs. Rebecca Marvel married Thompson P. Gambrel. He was a native of Kentucky ; from there removed to Indiana, and in 1847 came to Illinois. He died August 31st,
1877. By her marriage with Prettyman Marvel there were eleven children, and none by the latter marriage. Mrs. Gambrel at the age of seventeen became a convert and member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. One year after her marriage with Mr. Marvel he experienced religion, and they both joined the M. E. Church. During the late war she joined the M. E. Chorch, South. (For a full description of the conntry, and the settlers, neighbors of Prettyman Marvel, the reader is referred to the Pioneers and Ilistory of Waynesville Township to be found in another part of this work.)

THE Jones family, on the paternal side, are of Welsh ancestry, year, and a resident on the same place where she settled with her and on the maternal, English, and of the nobility while yet resi- husband over half a century ago. She is a woman of whom it may be said she was a trne helpmate and partner of her husband, sharing in his joys and bearing with him the burdens of life with a true womanly spirit. Although suffering for a number of years from physical infirmities which are of such a character as would have borne down much stronger natures, yet so gentle is her disposition, so kind and self-sacrificing ber nature, that no sign or word has ever escaped her which might be construed as an expression of discontent or repining at her lot, or that the grievous burden might be lifted from her. dents of England. Peter Jones, the paternal grandfather of the present family, was a native of Maryland; he settled in the Carolinas a short time after the Revolutionary war, where the family remained until about 1804, when they removed to Ohio, and subsequently in 1831 came to Illinois, and stopped in Sanga- mon county, and in the following spring came to what is now known as De Witt county, where Peter Jones died iu 1842. He married Mary Branson, by which union was John Branson Jones, whose portrait stands at the head of this sketch. Ile was born in North Carolina December 24, 1799 ; he came with his father There were twelve children born to John B. and Rachel Jones ; Charles W. is the eleventh in the family ; he was born on Sec. 16 Waynesville township, De Witt county, Illinois, February 13th, 1842. His education is mainly self-culture, acquired by ex- tensive and voluminous reading. He remained at home, at work on the farm, until 1861, when he entered in the first call for 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion ; he became a member of Co. E of the 7th Regiment Illinois Vols. At the close of his enlistment he returned home, and in the fall of the same year re-enlisted for three years service in Co. D of the 8th Regiment Mo. Vols. He participated with this regiment in the battles of Donelson, Fort Henry, Crump's Landing, Shiloh, Corinth and Vicksburg. In the latter fight he was wounded in the attempt to storm the works; he was sent to the hospital, and soon after discharged from reason of physical disability caused by the wound. He returned home and re-engaged in farming and stock raising, in which he still continues. On the 27th of February, to Illinois, and here settled on Sec. 16, now in Waynesville township, where he bought a claim, and afterwards rented land in same section, and there he lived until his death, which oc- curred April 10th, 1856. Mr. Jones in his life was in some respects a remarkable man, possessed of more than ordinary in- telligence, and was one of those rugged minds that had for its basis much valnable common sense. During the Indian wars in Indiana he was commissioned as captain in the 39th Regiment In_ diana Militia, dating from March 30, 1832. Afterward he came to Illinois, and in 1840 he was commissioned by Governor Reynolds as Colonel of the 8th Regiment Illinois Vols. Col. Jones took great delight in military matters, and on general mustering days was a conspicuous figure on the field where were marshalled the hardy pioneers in mimic array. He married Miss Rachel Thomas, who is a native of Ohio, and was born April 5, 1803. She still survives her husband, and is now in her seventy-ninth

HISTORY OF DE WITT COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
1875, he was married to Miss Sarah A. Vinson, by which union there are two children, named Rachel and John Branson Jones, aged respectively six and five years. In his religious beliefs, Mr. Jones subscribes to none of the formulated creeds, but is ex- tremely liberal, and takes his stand with the advanced thinkers and the liberal thought of to-day. He is a Democrat, which ticket he voted until 1876, when he wandered from the Demo- cratic fold and voted for Peter Cooper, but in 1880 came back to his first political love and cast his ballot for Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. He takes an active interest in political matters, and is one of the recognized leaders of his party in the county. In 1881 he was elected to represent his township in the board of supervisors, and in the discharge of the duties therein imposed upon him has given complete and universal satisfaction. Mr. Jones is to the "manor born," and is in every sense a genuine type of the Western man. Of broad and liberal views, in sympathy with the masses upon all questions affecting them, fearless in the expression of what he deems right, of ready tact and good address, we say he is the natural product of the broad prairies of the West.
F. M. JEFFREY
WAS born in Fayette County, Indiana, September 21st, 1832. The family is Scotch descent on the paternal side. William Jeffrey, the great-grandfather of the present family, emigrated from Scotland to America, and was a soldier of the Revolution. He settled in New Jersey when William, the grandfather, was born. He moved to Utica, New York, where William, his son, and the father of Francis M. was born. The grandfather was a soldier of the war of 1812, and also in the Indian wars, and was at the battle of Tippecanoe. In 1811 he moved to Fayette County, Indiana, and remained there until 1856, when he came to Illinois and settled in this township. He married Ruth Allen, of New York, by whom there were four sons and four daughters. Wil- liam, the father of F. M., was the eldest son. He was born in Utica, New York, October 27th, 1807, and died August 23d, 1877. He came to Waynesville, Township in 1837, and has followed bis trade of tanning, subsequently engaging in farming. He married Harriet De Camp, who was born March 2d, 1813. She still survives her husband. By that marriage there were twelve children-four sons and three daughters still living. The subject of this sketch is the eldest of the children. He worked with his father at the tanning business, and on the farm until 1856, then went to carpentering, and continued at the trade until the breaking out of the war, when he enlisted for three years in Co. " F," 38th Reg't. Ill. Vols. The regiment became part of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 4th Army Corps. He participated with his regiment in the hard fought battles of Fredericktown, Champion Hills, Stone River, Liberty Gap, the first and second battles of Corinth, then in the Atlanta Cam- paign, Mission Ridge, Chickamauga, and Jonesboro, where the time of service of the regiment expired. He was wounded at the battle of Perryville, where the command was repulsed in their attempt to capture a battery. He received two wounds at Stone River. At the battle of Liberty Gap he was one of the sixty men who volunteered to capture a battery. They succeeded, but it cost them one-fourth of the men in killed and wounded. In that desperate undertaking Mr. Jeffrey was Founded in the head. After he was mustered out he returned home and resumed bis trade of carpentering in which he still continues. On the 25th of December, 1850, he married Miss
Sarah McEntire. She died in March 1857. Two children by that marriage both died. On July 21st, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Alice Kidd, who was born in Miama County, Indiana. She is the daughter of Captain Edmund Jones Kidd, a native of Carolina County, Virginia. lle was a soldier of the war of 1812, with the rank of Captain. His wife, and the mother of Mrs. Jeffrey, was Christiana De Camp, of Vermont. The De Camps are of French ancestry. There have been born to Mrs. Jeffrey, four sons and four daughters, two sons and two daughters living. Their names in the order of their births are Roxie B., Mabel St. Clair, Edmund Ernest, and Charles Kidd Jeffrey. On the subject of religious belief, Mr. Jeffrey subscribes to none of the formulated creeds, but believes that in doing unto others as you would have others do unto you, is contained the genuine essence of true religion. He is member of the order of I. O. O. F. and Encampment, and belongs to Prairie State Lodge No. 104 and Encampment, No. 23, Atlanta, Illinois. Politically, he has been a Republican since that party came into existence and supported John C. Fremont for President in 1856. This, in short, is a brief his- tory of Mr. Jeffrey. He was a gallant and brave soldier, and is a good citizen, an honest man, and as such enjoys the con- fidence and esteem of the entire community.
THOMAS TAYLOR.
THE subject of the following sketch, in connection with his brother, stands at the head of fine stock breeders in the state The Taylor family, on the paternal side, is of Scotch-Irish an- cestry. Thomas Taylor, the grandfather, emigrated to America from the north of Ireland and settled in Virginia. His son Joseph, father of Thomas, was born in that state in 1797. From Virginia he removed to Ohio, between 1826 and 1830, and settled in Perry county, at Rehoboth, and there married. In 1837 he came to Illinois and settled in what is now known as Waynesville township, then part of McLean county ; he rented land in Sec. 15, and farmed for three years, then removed to Sec. 29 in same township, where he leased a farm owned by John Slatton, now known as the " Yocom " farm, and stayed there two years, then removed to McLean county, on Sugar creek, and there farmed for five years, then came back and purchased the land where he originally settled when he first came to the county. He bought two hundred and fifty acres, paying fifteen hundred dollars for it. Here be remained until 1850, when the gold excitement in California reached this country. He or- ganized a company of emigrants, and went by overland route to the land of gold. They landed in Sacramento July 3d; be there engaged in the grocery trade, but was soon after taken sick with the prevailing fevers of the country, and died on the 10th of September, 1850. At the time of his death be was possessed of considerable property and goods, which would have been of much advantage to the family, but it was fraudulently appropriated by a would-be friend, and the family never received a cent of it. Mr. Taylor, while a resident of Perry county, Ohio, married Miss Letha Gardner, a native of Maryland, but a resident of the above-named county at the time of her marriage. She was the daughter of John Gardner, who afterwards moved to Coles county, Illinois, and there died. There were six sons and four daughters born to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. Thomas, who is the twin-brother of John, was born in Waynesville township, De Witt county, Illinois, October 10, 1838. His education was received

in the neighborhood, in the common schools, where he learned sufficient to transact any of the ordinary business of life; he was raised to habits of industry ou the farm, and at an early age became practically self-supporting. In the spring of 1864 he started in business for himself, and his first venture in that di- rection was in renting land in Sec. 21 in this township. He there farmed for two years, then went to McLean county, and one year later came back and purchased a part of the old home_ stead, and the same year built the house in which he still lives, and there he has made his home to the present time On the 26th of December, 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Rachel Clayton, who was born in Zanesville, Ohio, October 11, 1843. By this union there were four children ; the eldest son died in his third year. The names of the others, in the order of their birth, are : Minnie, Jesse and Harry Taylor ; all of them are yet beneath the parental roof. Mrs. Taylor died August 11, 1880. She was a member of the M. E. church, but before her death she attached herself to the Christian denomination. Mr. Taylor is not a member of any church, but is rather inclined to a liberal belief. He is a member of the Order of A. F. & A. M., and be- longs to Waynesville Lodge, No. 172. Politically, he is a Democrat, and cast his first vote for Stephen A. Douglas, in 1860, and from that time to the present has been a member of that political organization. This, in brief, is an outline history of Thomas Taylor and family. The subject of this sketch, in con- nection with his brother, as intimated before, are known throughout the West as successful sheep and hog breeders. Their breeds of American Merinos and Shropshiredown sheep, Poland, China, Chester White, Berkshire, Suffolk and E-sex swine, are well known in all parts of the Union. In order to give the reader some idea of the success and extent of the business, we have given a short sketch as to how and when they commenced. Like all successful breeders, they commeuced in a small way, and learned every detail of how to handle and breed their stock. Thomas commenced in 1865, and continued nntil 1875, when his flock of sheep had increased to one hundred and nine. He then sold out and commenced again. In 1876 he bought twenty ewes of Daniel Kelly, of Wheatland, Illinois, paying 820 per head. In 1877 he bought four ewes of same party, paying $50 per head, and at the same time purchased two of his son, for which he paid $162.50. The next year he bought twenty-one ewes in Wisconsin, at $20 per head; in 1878 bought three of C. M. Clark, of Wisconsin, at a cost of $25 per head, another at $60, and one at $30. In 1879 he purchased fifty of George Law- rence, paying $1000; in 1877 he purchased the famous buck "Germoso," of John 11. Paul, for which he paid $200. From these he has bred and raised his flock. Now the excellence of the breed is best shown in the number, and amount of premiums taken at state fairs of fat stock exhibitions held in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and Iowa.
one of which included the grand prize over all and every kind of swine on exhibition. The victor was a sow of the Essex breed, fourteen months old. In 1881 the sale of pigs for breed- ing purposes aggregated $1,500. In the many years in which they have been in the business they have built up a reputation for strict and honorable dealing, and their reputation in that direction is co-extensive with their fame as stock breeders. To gain this point it has cost time and money ; but they well knew that reputation, once firmly established and built upon the solid foundation of truth and honesty, would be as enduring and last- ing as though written ou brass or chiseled on marble, and to that end they made every honorable effort, and in it they have succeeded.
JOHN J. S. STARKEY, M. D.
THE subject of this brief biographical sketch was born in Mus- kingum county, Ohio, June 19th, 1840. The family is of Welsh ancestry on the paternal side. Levi Starkey emigrated from Wales to America prior to the Revolutionary war. He was ac- companied by a brother, named John, who afterwards shipped on board a whaler bound for the North, and was lost at sea. Levi was a soldier under Washington, and rose to the command of a company of cavalry. At the battle of Brandywine he received a sabre cut across the face, which left a deep scar, which he car- ried to his grave. He removed to Ohio in 1822, and settled in Zmesville ; and died there iu 1850. He married Susan Stedam, a native of Delaware. By that marriage there were seven child- ren. Cornelius, the father of Dr. Starkey, was born in Wilming- ton, Delaware, March 18th, 1818. 1fe is now a resident of Al- len county, Kansas, where he moved to in 1865. He married Miss Julia Ann Johnson ; she died in 1860. Dr. Starkey is the eldest son by that union ; he was raised on the farm, and was ed- ucated in the common schools of his native county. In 1857 he came West with his father, and settled in Mc Lean county, and in 1859 entered the Wesleyau University at Bloomington, and re- mained there two years. His intention was to take a regular col- legiate course, but the war breaking out interrupted his studies. He put aside his books, and with patriotic devotion to his country enlisted for three years in Company K of the 94th Regiment, Il- linois Volunteers. He remained in the service, and participated with his regiment in all the skirmishes and battles in which it was engaged until his term expired, when he was mustered out and honorably discharged; he returned home to McLean county. While he was a student at the University he concluded to adopt the profession of medicine as the business of his life ; and, with that object in view, paid particular attention to the studies of physiology, chemistry, aud all kindred studies that would aid him in the profession. He entered the office of Dr. David Crist of Bloomington, and pursued his studies diligently. In 1868 he entered the Louisville Medical College, and attended one full course. In 1873 he graduated from that institution with the de- gree of M. D. Before graduating he went to Allen county, Kan- sas, and commenced to practice. After his graduation he came to Waynesville, and here he has continued and built up a large and lucrative business. He belongs to the progressive school of medicine, and is a member of the De Witt County Medical So- ciety. He is a member of A. F. and A. M., and I. O. O. F. So- cieties.
