Milton Lock- bridge now resides, one mile west of Au- burn. He was advised to abandon the project, lest he should freeze to death, and was solemnly warned that he would be compelled to live withont neighbors, his improvements being more than two miles from the timber. He returned to his native town, and was there married, July 25, 1839, to Flora M. Carter, who was born in the same place, July 25, 1815. They came at once to their new home, near Auburn, traveling the entire distance in wagons. At that time there were no improvements southwest nearer than fif- teen miles, and the whole area a natural meadow. There was an abundance of grass for thousands of cattle and sheep. A year or two later Mr. Carter bought a flock of sheep, and that caused great un- easiness to some of the neighbors, who had a few head of cattle, lest the sheep would eat all the grass. Mr. and Mrs. Carter had four children in Sangamon county, namely-

CARTWRIGHT, PETER, was born Sept. 1, 1785, on James river, Amherst county, Va. His father was a Revolutionary soldier, and soon after our independence as a nation was acknowl- edged by Great Britain, his parents moved to that part of our country known as Kentucky, then inhabited by hostile In- dians. There not being any wagon roads, the moving was done on pack horses. Their's was one of two hundred families that moved in a body, guarded by one hundred young men, well armed. On the night of the first Sunday after their de- parture, and while they were encamped with the women and children in the cen- ter, surrounded by part of the men guard- ing, while others slept, the father of Peter Cartwright heard something moving to- wards him and grunting like a hog. Knowing there was no swine with the company, Mr. C. had his suspicions aroused and kept a sharp look-out. He soon perceived a dark object much nearer him than the sounds at first indicated, and readily made up his mind that it was an Indian aiming to get as near as possible, and then spring upon and murder him in the dark. Mr. Cartwright took aim and fired. The crack of the rifle raised a great commotion in camp, and as soon as a light could be procured, an Indian was found dead, with a rifle in one hand, a tomahawk in the other, and a bullet-hole

through his head. Their line of travel was marked by the dead bodies of white people slain by the Indians, with other evidences of hostility. As the moving party approached Crab Orchard, where a. temporary fortification had been erected, the last day's march was a very long one. Seven of the two hundred families fell behind the main body, and worn down with fatigue, they encamped and went to sleep without guards. In the night they were attacked by twenty-five Indians, and all except one of them slain. The Cart- wright family first settled near what after- wards became Lancaster, Lincoln county, Ky. After a stay of two years, in the fall of 1793 Mr. Cartwright moved his family to a place nine miles south of Russelville, Logan county, Ky., and with- in one mile of the Tennessee line.

While the family resided there Peter entered into the spirit of the rude sports and vices that prevailed in the community, such as horse-racing, card-playing and dancing. His mother had long been a member of the M. E. Church, and prayed for and plead with her son to turn from the error of his ways. He was converted, and united with the Ebenezer M. E. Church in June, ISO1. He displayed such talents and fervor in speaking, that he very unexpectedly received the following paper :

"Peter Cartwright is hereby permitted to exercise his gifts as an exhorter in the Methodist Episcopal Church, so long as his practice is agreeable to the Gospel.

"Signed in behalf of the Society at Ebenezer.

"JESSE WALKER, A. P." May, 1802.

In the fall of that year his father de- termined to move to Lewiston, near the mouth of the Cumberland river. Peter applied for letters for his mother, sister and himself. Upon receiving his own he found that it was not only a letter of dis- missal to a sister church, and to exhort, but that it gave him authority to hold meetings, organize classes, and form a cir-' cuit. It also required him to report at the fourth quarterly meeting of Red river cir- cuit the next fall.

In his new home he found an academy, or school of a high grade, and for a time prosecuted his studies with great success;

but in consequence of persecutions that arose, he abandoned the school and com- menced organizing the circuit, which he reported in the fall of that year-1803. In October he became a regular traveling preacher, with a colleague, on the Red river circuit. His first sermon led to the conversion of an infidel. He received twenty-five members during the first quar- ter, and six dollars for his support at the end of the same. For the years 1805 and '6 he was appointed to Sciota circuit, in the State of Ohio.

At the meeting of the Western Confer- ence, held in East Tennessee, Mr. Cart- wright was ordained Sept. 15, 1So6, as a Deacon in the M. E. Church, by Francis Asbury, the first Bishop of the church in America. He was next appointed to Marietta circuit. In the fall of ISO6 he left that circuit, with a blind horse, almost destitute of clothing, and seventy-five cents in money, started to travel more than five hundred miles to see his parents. Thc next meeting of Conference was held Sept. 14, 1807, at Chillicothe, O. His ap- pointment for 1807-S was to Barren cir- cuit, in Cumberland district, Ky. About the close of his labors in that circuit-

Rev. Peter Cartwright and Frances Gaines were married Aug. IS, ISOS. She was born Aug. IS, 1789, in Charlotte county, Va. When she was in her seven- teenth year her parents moved to Lincoln county, Ky. Her father died there, and her mother moved two years later to Bar- ren county, where Frances was married.

The Conference was held at Liberty Hill, Tenn., commencing Oct. 1, ISOS. At that meeting Mr. C. was ordained-Oct. 4, ISOS-to the office of Elder of the M. E. Church, by William McKendree, who had become one of the Bishops of the M. E. Church. The ordination took place Oct. 4, 1808. His next appointment was to Salt Creek circuit, Ky. During that year his father died, and some time was spent in settling the estate. The next Conference was held at Cincinnati in the fall of ISog. His appointment was to Livingston circuit, Cumberland district, Ky. Mr. C. continued to preach in Ken- tucky until they had seven children. During that time he saw and understood the pernicious influence of slavery, and after consulting with his wife, who was of the same mind, they determined to remove

to a free State. In the spring of 1823, he, in company with two friends, started to explore Illinois in search of a home. They ascended the Wabash valley, and crossed the prairie to the Illinois river above Fort Clark, now Peoria. They went west and south and then east, crossing the Illinois river at what is now Beardstown, where there was but one family in a small cabin. From there they ascended the valley of the Sangamon river to a settlement in Sangamon county, on Richland creek, where he found a family living in a double log cabin, with a few acres of land under cultivation. Mr. C. bought the claim, and entered the land when it came into market.

He returned to Kentucky and brought out his family, arriving Nov. 15, 1824, at the place he had purchased the year be- fore, in what is now Cartwright town- ship, three-quarters of a mile north of Pleasant Plains. They had two children in Sangamon county. Of their ninc children-

Rev. Peter Cartwright, D. D., died Sept. 25, 1872, and his widow died Feb. 7, 1876, both near Pleasant Plains, Sanga- mon county, where they settled in 1824. Mr. Cartwright had been a member of the M. E. Church more than seventy-one years, a preacher nearly three score and ten years, and a Presiding Elder more than half a century. To attempt a de- scription of the man and his labors would be useless in a sketch like this. Nothing but his own " Autobiography " and " Fifty Years a Presiding Elder" could do justice to the subject. His system of theology does not admit of a belief in special providences; and yet, it would ap- pear to others as though he was especially raised up to illustrate what one man can accomplish in mental and physical labors in a good canse, sustained by the power of God. He had just entered upon his cighty-eighth year, and his wife in her eighty-seventh year. At the time of her death she had fifty-three grand-children, sixty-two great-grand-children, and five great-great-grand-children, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine descendants.

The circumstances of her death were exceedingly impressive. She was attend- ing a religious meeting at Bethel Chapel, about one mile from her home, in the op- posite direction from Pleasant Plains. The minister conducting the services called on her as the first to give her testi- mony, which she did, remaining seated. She spoke with much feeling, closing with the words: "The past three weeks have been the happiest of all my life; I anı waiting for the chariot." The exercises

continued until sixteen persons had risen and spoken a few words each, the last of whom was her eldest son. The lady sit- ting nearest her thought she had fainted, and the windows were thrown open to admit fresh air; but "The chariot had arrived. "
