Henry county. April 9, 1849, just before leaving England, he married Maria Ann Jul, who came to America with him and made him a faith- ful wife and helpmeet until her death, which occurred February 21, 1880, leaving no children. His father died in England when he was an infant, and his mother, who came to this country, died in Ohio. Ile has one brother, Thomas, living at West Brookfield, Stark county, Ohio, and another, George, who lives in Trego county, Kansas, the latter having a family of nine or ten children. December 21, 1880, he married Emma J. Peterson, who was born in Sweden, December 22, 1862, and came to America in 1874, with her father, Andrew Peterson, of Cable, this county. Mr. Brooks is a Master Mason, a member of Oxford Lodge, No. 367, A. F. A. M. Their only child Mary L., was born April 22, 1881.

VICTORIA C. M. TRACY was born near Cleveland, Ohio, January 28, 1847, daughter of John and Emeline C. (Hicks) Morris. Her father was born in Somersetshire, England, May 27, 1816, and came to America with his father in 1840, and settled near Cleveland, Ohio. March 1, 1846, he married Emeline C. Hicks, of Zanesville, Ohio, who was born in that state August 20, 1827. Her father was killed by robbers in Zanesville, leaving a brother (Thomas IIicks) in Kentucky, and a son (John) in Louisville, Kentucky. Her mother was Esther Black, of French descent, her family living near Philadelphia. Mrs. Tracy came to Illinois with her parents in 1851, by the lakes to Chicago, and thence by team to Mercer county, settling near Keithsburg. Five years later they moved to Warren county, and in 1865 returned to Mercer county, Mr. Morris buying a farm in section 9, in Greene town- ship, where he resides now. His father died near Keithsburg in 1856. aged sixty-eight ; and his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Brewer, died in 1864, aged eighty-one years. April 22, 1869, Miss Victoria married Jonathan Tracy, of Rivoli township, their residence being on S. E. { of Sec. 1. Mrs. Tracy has three children : Ida (born February 28, 1870), Baz. (May 1, 1872), and Fred. (August 13, 1874). May 26, 1878, Mr. Tracy died, since which time Mrs. Tracy has managed the affairs of the farm, consisting of 372 acres, with marked ability, taking high rank among the large and successful farmers of the county. Her business tact caused her neighbors to elect her school director of her district, which office she still holds. In 1871 Mr. Tracy built a large and elegant residence on his farm, where the family now reside, one and one-half miles north of the village of New Windsor. Jonathan Tracy was born in Mason county, Kentucky, November 25, 1830. His father (Vesey Tracy) and mother (Rachel Hayden) were natives of that state, and were married in 1828. In 1839 his mother

In 1850 he married Miss Mary Dancer, who died a year later. In 1853 he came to Illinois, and purchased land in Henry county. May 21, 1856, he married Miss Elizabeth Love, a native of Mercer county. Having sold his farm in Henry county that year, he bought land in the S. E. } of Sec. 1, Rivoli township, which forms a part of the present homestead.

Mr. Tracy was always engaged in farming, and by industry and energy raised himself from humble beginnings to the position of a well-to-do farmer. He was not a member of any church or society, and in politics adhered to the democratie faith.

NATHAN P. SMITHI was born in Ohio in 1830, and came to Illinois with his parents in 1840, when ten years old. His father (Stephen Smith) was a native of Massachusetts, and emigrated to Ohio when a young man, and there married Anna Belt, who survived him, living with her son Frank on the old homestead in section 4 in this township. He first came to Illinois in 1838, and entered forty acres of prairie in section 4 and 120 acres of timber land in Richland Grove, also a tract of timber land on Pope creek. Returning to Ohio he brought his family to Illinois in 1840, and settled on the forty acres of prairie he had previously entered in section 4. He died in 1845, leaving eight children, four boys and four girls. Two of these have died since, Lyman and Mattie (formerly wife of T. G. Woodham). Four of the survivors reside in this township: Nathan P., Chauncey, Frank, and Mary (wife of James Durston). Two daughters (married) live, one in Iowa and one at Moline, Illinois. Mr. Smith was a blacksmith, and opened on his place the first blacksmith shop in the township. Nathan P. spent his youth upon the farm, and in the winter of 1847. when seventeen years old, taught his first school in Richland Grove town- ship, agreeing to teach for $12 per month, and was to have $15 if the patrons were suited. When his school closed he made out his bill at $15 per month, and it was paid without question. He afterward taught four winters in Oxford, Henry county, and four winters at the Hopewell district in this township, also taught at Henderson Grove. In 1860 he married Mary Ann Woodham, and built his present resi- dence, and settled in the N. $ of the N. E. of Sec. 9, which he had been improving for some years previously. The farm consists of 100 acres of prairie, besides which he has twenty acres of timber. He

has two children, Minnie (the elder) and Charles. He was supervisor of this township three successive years during war times. In politics he is a republican, but is not very partisan.

TIMOTHY D. MERRYMAN was born in Kennebec county, Maine, Jan- uary 14, 1827, town of Chesterville, now in Monroe county. His father, Timothy Merryman, was born in Brunswick, Maine, November 16, 1787, and married Elizabeth Dunning January 23, 1813, who was also a native of Maine. He was a ship carpenter by trade, also a farmer, clearing for himself a farm among the pines of his native state. In 1835, with his three oldest sons and eldest daughter he came to Illinois, and locating in Richland Grove township, sent for the remain- der of the family to come, which they did the next year, 1836, coming all the way with teams. Mrs. Merryman being sick on their arrival at Wheeling, Virginia, took passage on a boat with one of her daughters and came by river to Rock Island. They had nine children, six sons and three daughters, seven of whom survive. The six sons in the order of their ages are : Albert D., Thomas, David D., Joseph M., Timothy D., and Ira. The only surviving daughter, Thirza Ann, is the wife of Robinson Nye and resides in Moline, Illinois. Mrs. Merryman died in October, 1852, aged sixty-four, and Mr. M. died in April, 1873, at the age of eighty-six, their remains resting in the cemetery at Moline. Timothy D. was brought up on the farm, and at the age of twenty-one began his fortune with a capital of $50. He bought an interest in a saw mill that his father and one of his brothers had built in Richland Grove in 1845. While engaged in this mill he made a claim on 160 acres of land in section 9, Rivola township, to which he afterward added eighty acres in the same section and entered it with land warrants in 1850. He had forty acres under improvement when, in 1853, he crossed the plains to California with an ox team. Thus can he boast of having crossed the continent from Maine to California with a team. He was engaged there in mining, farming and teaming until 1863, when he returned to Illinois and settled where he now lives, on the northeast of section 9. December 1, 1864, he married Miss Mary Manning, who was born in Richland Grove township, in this county, July 23, 1840. She was daughter of James Manning, one of Mercer county's pioneers, who settled in that township in 1835. Of six sons and three daughters but two survive, Mrs. Merryman and one brother in Indiana. March 24, 1873, his house was burned, but he replaced it with a fine, spacious residence, surrounded by quite a grove of maples, that have grown from seed planted by himself, and from which he can now make a barrel of syrup annually. He has added to his original farm until he now owns 640 acres, including twenty acres

of timber. In 1878 he built on his place the first dairy in the county, which has made large quantities of cheese and butter since that time, but is run exclusively now as a creamery. Mr. and Mrs. Merryman are both active members of the Methodist Episcopal church.

A. P. SHROYER was born in this township in 1851. His father, Henry Shroyer, was born in Indiana in 1815, and in 1842 married Miss Rebecca Hughes, who was born in that state in 1820; and there their oldest son (William) was born in 1846. In 1847 Mr. and Mrs. Shrover came from Indiana to this state, settling on the S. E. } of Sec. 15, in this township, where he lived until his death a few years ago, and where his widow, who survives him, still lives. Besides the above- named children there are: M. L. (born in 1856), Sarah J. (born 1859), and Martha I. (born 1863). January 1, 1869, William married Miss Johanna Powell, daughter of Horatio Powell, an old settler in North Henderson township. A. P. married Miss Donna Meadows November 11, 1875. She was born in Warren county, Illinois, June 12, 1855 ; daughter of James Meadows. They have three children, all boys. A. P. is a member of Oxford Lodge, No. 367, A.F.A.M., and is its secretary at present. He and his wife are members of the Christian church, and were connected with the church in New Windsor as long as it was in existence. Ile was formerly in the drug business in New Windsor, but is now engaged in farming. Two years ago he built a very commodious residence on part of the old homestead, where he now resides, and, with his brother (M. L.), carries on the farm, which comprises 280 acres. The family is of German origin, the name having been spelled Schroyer, but with the lapse of time the c has become elided.

T. G. WOODHAMS was born in Albany, New York, October 19, 1837. His father and mother, William and Harriet (Gorham) Woodhams, were both natives of England. Mr. Woodhams came to America first in 1820, but returned again after a short stay. In 1828 he came to America, to make this his permanent home. Ile married Harriet Gorham in Albany, New York. In 1838 he came to Illinois and settled on the N. E. ¿ of Sec. 21, this township, where the subject of this sketch was raised and still lives. Mr. Woodhams died October 20, 1844, and was the first person buried in the Woodhams cemetery, the site for which was donated by him for that purpose. Mrs. Wood- hams resides on the place with her oldest son (William), who is a bach- elor and a wheelwright. A younger son (John C.) enlisted in Co. D, 83d reg. Ill. Vol. Inf., and died at Fort Donelson, Tennessee, Novein- ber 30, 1862. His remains are interred in the Woodhams cemetery. Their daughter (Harriet) is the wife of E. B. David, dentist, and

resides in Aledo. The subject of this sketch married February 10, 1867, Miss Martha A. Smith, daughter of Stephen Smith, one of the pioneers of this township, mentioned in the history of this township. She died July 5, 1873, leaving three children : Mary A. (born Decem- ber 1, 1867), Adelbert L. (born March 21, 1870), and John L. (born October 8, 1872). September 16, 1874, he married Mrs. Maria Smith, widow of J. Lyman Smith, and daughter of James Durston, the pioneer. She was born in Rensselaer county, New York, August 19, 1833, and came to Illinois with her parents in 1837. Mr. and Mrs. Woodhams are active members of the Wesleyan Methodist church, of Hopewell. By industry and economy Mr. Woodhams has added to the old homestead until his home farm now comprises 480 acres. He raises and feeds cattle and hogs quite largely, and does an extensive business in buying and shipping stock to the Chicago market. At one time he represented this town on the board of supervisors of the county, and for several years he has served on the board of commis- sioners of highways of this town. In politics Mr. Woodhams is a republican.

COMPANY G, TWENTY-SEVENTHI REGIMENT.

. This company was composed of men from different parts of Mercer county and other counties, but perhaps the largest number was from the vicinity of New Boston.

COMPARY D, EIGHTY-THIRD REGIMENT.

Company D was raised largely in the eastern part of Mercer and the western part of Henry county. It was organized August 21, 1862, by the election of Joshna M. Snyder, of Viola, Mercer county, as captain ; Hugh M. Robb. of the same county, as first lieutenant ; and Francis M. Sykes, of Oxford, Henry county, as second lieutenant.

There were but few changes in the officials of this company, and consequently but few promotions. Snyder and Robb went in for the whole war and were mustered out with the boys three years, lacking a couple of months, after their enlistment. Sykes resigned, after having been second liteunant just two years, and Hugh B. Frazier succeeded him, and was mustered out at the close of the war. The 83d was raised largely in Warren county, and was organized at Monmouth, August 21, 1862, by A. C. Harding, who was promoted a year later to the office of brigadier-general, upon which Arthur A. Smith succeeded him. The regiment did heavy guard duty the most of first year and a half. The country along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers was infested with guerillas, and this regiment had almost daily skirmishes with them, some of them being quite severe. On February 3, 1863, the regiment was brought in contact with 8,000 men of Forest's com- mand, and successfully resisted them, compelling them to retire with a loss of 800 killed and wounded; and with a loss of thirteen killed and fifty-one wounded in the 83d regiment. . It was in consequence of this brilliant achievement that Col. Harding was promoted to brigadier- general and Smith to colonel. During the year 1854, the regiment had about 200 miles of communications to guard. The regiment was mustered ont at Nashville, and from thence proceeded to Chicago for final pay and discharge.
