John Marlin (deceased), a native of Ireland, was a son of John and Rachel (Graham) Marlin, who came to this country in the early part of this century, and settled in South Carolina, where he lived and died. His family consisted of Mary Margaret, Jane, Rachel Nancy, Sarah, Hugh, John, Hamilton, Ralph, David, Henry, Robert and William. John married Lilly Ann Wiley, a native of South Carolina, daughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Mor- row) Wiley. Their family consisted of eighteen children that grew to maturity. When Mr. Marlin came to Illinois he had but a very small capital. Getting as far as Herald's Prairie, he fed his horse on something that killed it. This prevented the family going

farther. Mr. Marlin then attempted to purchase cooking utensils, but found that he could not pass the money he had-it being the date when wild-cat currency was floating about. He finally leased a farm and also worked with B. Crebs on shares. From this small beginning he collected a large number of acres of some of Herald's Prairie's best land, all of which is in the hands of the widow or heirs. The children born of this union-Rachel Elizabeth (de- ceased), born 1848, married Thomas Pool; Francis W., born Sept. 22, 1850 ; Mary J., born Feb. 28, 1853 (deceased); James Hamilton, born Jan. 31, 1855; John Morrow and Lilly Morrow, born Nov. 18, 1857; Samuel Marshal, born Nov. 14, 1861; David McCune, born April 9, 1867; Edwin A., born April 15, 1869; Arabella Alice, born Aug. 5, 1871. Mr. Marlin enlisted in the Eighty- seventh Illinois Infantry, Company I, Captain Graham commanding. He was disabled while in service by a mule's falling on him, which probably ultimately caused his death.

Asa Martin (deceased) was born in North Carolina, Feb. 18, 1810, and came to White County at an early day. His parents were John and Rebecca Martin. They had a family of four sons and four daughters, Asa being the eldest son. He was married in Jannary, 1834, to Jane Bryant, a native of Kentucky, born June 11, 1818, and a daughter of Daniel and Sibbie (Newell) Bryant. Mr. Bryant's family consisted of nine children-James, William, Henry, Daniel, Jr., Jackson, Kate, Matilda, Mahala and Jane. This family came to White County in 1816, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryant both lie buried in Herald's Prairie cemetery. After Mr. Martin's marriage he lived on a rented farm two years, then bonght one, when he built his own house-a single hewed-log cabin-near the west side of section 18. There they lived until, in later years when their worldly goods were increased, they bought the place where their son Marion now resides. They had seven children- John C., born April 11, 1835; Daniel, born Feb. 13, 1837; Edmund, born Sept. 27, 1838; Western, born July 6, 1841; Mahala A., born Dec. 13, 1842, married John W. Clark; Sarah Jane, born Aug. 20, 1845, married Francis M. Trotter; Marion, born Oct. 16, 1847. Mr. Martin died in 1866 and is buried in Walnut Grove cemetery. Mrs. Martin is still living, a pleasant lady, a type of the old school pioneers.

Daniel Martin is a native of White County, having been born within the territory now Herald's Prairie, Feb. 13, 1837. His par- ents' names were Asa and Jane (Brant) Martin. His mother's father

was Daniel Brant. Asa Martin's family consisted of five sons and two daughters, of which Daniel was the second son. His life, during his minority, was spent with his father. His early school days were spent in a school-house of primitive design, several terms being in the old puncheon-styled floor and furniture. He was married, when near his twenty-first birthday, to Elizabeth Nelson, a native of Evansville, Ind., who moved to White County in early years. They had eight children-Albert S., Frank L., Samuel D., Asa, Mary, Rosy and Aurilla; all are living at the present writ- ing. His wife died in March, 1878. He married for his second wife Mary S. Block, of this township, daughter of Washington and Lucinda Block. One child has been born to them-Lucinda. Mr. Martin has at present 130 acres, having recently sold forty acres of his fine farm, and crops it all but a few acres. He is member of the Missionary Baptist church of this township, of which there is a large society.

John C. Martin, son of Asa and Jane (Bryant) Martin, was born April 11, 1835, in what was Herald's Prairie Precinct. He received the early training of a farm life. In his nineteenth year he went into partnership with Mr. S. L. Garrison in a general store at the latter's residence, on section 8, and on the public road, the Shawneetown and Carmi road running directly past his door at that time. At the breaking out of the Rebellion, Southern Illi- nois being near the Kentucky line and inviting to the raids of Con- federate foraging and raiding parties, it was deemed advisable to decrease their stock and close their business. Mr. Martin was with Mr. Garrison about four years, under the firm name of Mar- tin & Garrison. After this he commenced farming in this town- ship. He has been a number of years on his present place on section 7, owning 165 acres on sections 7 and 18. He was married Feb. 14, 1855, to Rachel Garrison, a daughter of Solomon L. and Margaret (Block) Garrison, whose sketch will be found in this work. The young couple lived a few years with Mr. Martin's father. They have now as comfortable and enjoyable a home as can be found in the township. To them have been born seven children, only two of whom are living-Emily, now Mrs. Siliman, of Indian Creek, and Fernettia, born May 31, 1867. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are members of the Missionary Baptist church, of Herald's Prairie. From sickness, caused by a long spell of fever or ma- laria, Mr. Martin does not enjoy good health, and is therefore at resent doing more mental than manual work.

HISTORY OF WHITE COUNTY.

John M. Marlin, born Nov. 28, 1857, is a son of John and Lillie A. (Wiley) Marlin. His father was a native of Ireland, and his mother of South Carolina, of Irish descent, her father coming from Ireland. His father came to this county in 1853. He started for some more northern county, but while stopping over night at Mr. Wrenshaw's, his horse died from the effects of eating frost- bitten corn. He had only $7.50 in money, and that was the wild- cat " Continental." He could go no farther, and so had to settle. He tried to buy some household and cooking utensils, but no one would take his money. He went to work first with Mr. Crebs on shares, and in a couple of years bought himself a place. He, by careful management and hard labor and an industrious family, se- cured considerable property, so at his death he left his family in comfortable circumstances. John M. bought out his brother's in- terest this last season, and now has a nice home and is well started in life. He was brought up on the home farm, and is an industri- ous, energetic farmer.

Western Martin, son of Asa and Jane (Bryant) Martin, was born July 6, 1841. He was reared on a farm and to all the hard work pertaining thereto. Since his ninth year he has never missed sowing or harvesting. He lived at home until his twentieth year. March 22, 1862, he married Emily Ross, daughter of Rob- ert and Maria (Brockett) Ross. Mr. Ross's family consisted of eight children-Elizabeth, John, Emily, Mary, Martha, Benjamin, Lenora and Agnes. John and Agnes are deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Martin commenced housekeeping in Indian Creek Township, on the Daniel Bryant place where they lived seven years. They then came to this township and lived on the Fairfield road seven years, then moved to their present place on Lick Creek. Their children are Henderson, born Feb. 12, 1863; Lucy, June 13, 1865; Mary, Jan. 29, 1867; Allie, Dec. 18, 1868; Carson, Oct. 6, 1870; Elam, Feb. 22, 1872; Arthur, July 6, 1873; Dora, Sept. 15, 1875; Theo- dore W., May 28, 1878, died in infancy. Mr. Martin worked with his father on the Cairo & Vincennes Railroad helping prepare a mile contract. They had a contract for twenty years, but the com- pany changed the beds a little to one side, and thus defaulted the bonds and defrauded the men of their honest toil. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are both members of the Missionary Baptist church. Their life has been a quiet one, spent in this county, but they have a good home and pleasant surroundings, and all that is needed to make life desirable.

Hosea J. Pearce, son of Hosea and Nancy Pearce, was born Sept. 2, 1839. He enlisted in the war of the Rebellion in the Seventh Illinois Cavalry. He was in twenty-nine different decisive engagements.

He left an estate, the largest in the township, embracing something

Hart, one of White County's oldest citizens, who makes his home with his daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Pettypool have three children- Thomas C., Edgar L. and Vienna A. The Tennessee bend has the reputation of being the hot-bed of fever and ague, and its inhabi- tante of being pale and sickly, but Mr. Pettypool has lived there his entire life, except while in the army, and he has always been remarkably healthy, which goes far toward proving the fallacy of the statement. He has a fine apple orchard, containing 200 or more trees, all grafted. He has 180 acres of cultivated land, and is one of Herald's Prairie's best farmers.

ley being spread abroad; at the same time a bogus company went to France to sell lands to would-be emigrants. The Questels were among the victims of this latter company. They landed in Phila- delphia, from there went to Pittsburg, thence on a flat-boat down the Ohio. While on the latter they learned of the swindle. Some of the company returned to France, others to different parts of this country, and those who were penniless landed in Ohio and built themselves cabins, and fortified themselves against the Indians. This was the founding of the present city of Gallipolis. They organized themselves, and for five years kept guard against the In- dians, when mad Anthony Wayne gave them a drubbing on Picka- way Plains and they sued for peace and withdrew above the Green- wich line; under these circumstances John B. was born and reared.

Lewis Questel married Nancy, daughter of Nicholas Thivener, for whom Thivener, O. was named. To them was born one child-Nancy. Both mother and danghter lie buried in Ohio. Mr. Questel married a second time, to Sophronia R., daughter of Simon Burlingame, of Ohio, formerly of New York. Their children are-Simon B., Lewis J., John, Marietta A., Henrietta S., Edmonson Theodore, Francis E., Ells- worth. Mr. Questel came to Illinois in 1856.
