In 1840, Mr. Brown removed to
Ashmore Tp., where he had entered eighty acres of land, borrowing for that purpose $100; to illustrate the struggles of those early days, we may mention that Mr. Brown was thirteen years in taking up this first note ; he has hauled wheat to Chicago, taking his provisions and horse feed along with him, and sleeping in his wagon at night ; the journey occupied sixteen days, and on arriving there, has sold his wheat at 50 cents a bushel.

WM. H. BROWN, farmer and stock- raiser ; P. O. Ashmore ; was born in Oneida Co., N. Y., March 23, 1813, being a son of Jonathan W. and Elizabeth (Aiken) Brown, and accompanied his parents in their removal to Milton, Ky., to Lawrence Co., Ill., and to the Walnut Grove, Edgar Co., in January, 1825. He remained at home until he was nearly 21, when he be- gan working on a farm ; he worked at va- rious employments in different places until he was married, Nov. 4, 1835, to Miss Elizabeth McGhan, of Clark Co .; he then settled on a farm in Clark Co. Dur- ing the summer of 1838, he was associated with his father and brother in grading a portion of the old Terre Haute & Alton Railroad. His wife died Sept. 14, 1838, leaving one son, William W., who, in the late war was Orderly Sergeant of Co. H, 10th I. V. C., and was killed at the capt- ure of Little Rock, Ark. In the spring of 1839, Mr. Brown came to Coles Co., and on the 13th of June, 1839, married Mrs. Emily Buck, a daughter of John T. Olmsted, an old pioneer of Edgar Co., set- tling in Grand View about 1828, and afterward came to Coles Co .. Of nine children of this marriage, six are now liv- ing-John O.

WILLIAM S. CHILDRESS, farmer and stock-raiser ; P. O. Ashmore ; was born in Knox Co., East Tenn., April 11, 1827 ; he is a son of Richard and Rebecca Childress. In 1831, his father removed to Edgar Co., and settled just on the line between Illinois and Indiana. In 1848, Mr. Childress came to Coles Co., being the first of the family to settle here, his father following in the spring of 1849; his father died about 1862 ; his mother still survives, and now resides in Farmington, in Coles Co., at the age of 78 years. Mr. C. was married April 30, 1848, to Miss Temple A. Barnes, a daughter of Enos Barnes, one of the pioneers of the county ; she died Sept. 17, 1874, leaving nine children-Elizabeth J.

Good- night, of Ashmore Tp.), Richard M., Re- becca A., Florence A., (wife of George Honn, of East Oakland Tp.), John F., William A., Melinda and Viola. A stranger, viewing Mr. Childress' farm, comprising over 1,000 acres, his large and beautiful residence, his herds of over a hundred cattle, fifteen to twenty horses, a hundred and fifty sheep, and a hundred and twenty-five hogs, would find it difficult to realize the hardships through which he has passed in accumulating them. When he came to the county his total possessions would not amount to $200 ; he has chopped cordwood at 30 cents a cord, and made rails at 50 cents a hundred; he made about 7,000 rails the first winter he spent in the county. To illustrate the gradual manner in which he has acquired his land, we give the following, showing the amount pur- chased at different times, and the price per acre. Hisfirst purchase was 110 acres, at $1.25 per acre ; next 80 acres, of Govern- ment at $1.25 per acre ; then at intervals as follows ; 40 acres at $15 per aere; 50 acres, at $22 per acre ; 40 acres at $17.50 per acre ; 80 acres, at $30 per acre ; 120 acres, at $25 per acre; 20 acres, at $40 per acre ; 20 acres, at $27.50 per acre; 40 acres, at $18.75 per acre ; 40 acres, at $40

per acre; 40 acres at $8.75 per acre; 43} acres, at $10 per acre ; 240 acres, at $20 per acre ; 30 acres, for $50 in all, and 20 acres at $10 per acre. He has made it a practice to buy but never sell, conse- quently all of his original purchases are still in his possession, and what is, perhaps, more remarkable, there never has been a mortgage on an aere of it. Mr. Childress was married a second time, Dec. 1, 1874, to Mrs. Nannie Shoemaker, a native of Kentucky.

Jan. 17, 1840, being a son of Guil- ford and Mary (Wiley) Dudley; to trace the genealogy of the Dudley family from its origin, it would be necessary to begin with the Earl of Dudley, of Dudley Cas- tle, in Staffordshire, England, in the four- teenth century, and follow down through a long line of earls, barons, etc .; this is not our purpose, but we can say that the genealogy is complete and authentie from that point to the subject of the present sketch ; the first of the family to come to America was Thomas Dudley, Governor of the province of Massachusetts Bay ; many of his descendants held prominent posi- tions in the early history of the country ; assisted in the struggle for independence, and are now leading citizens in various parts of the country ; the first to come to Coles Co. were three brothers-Moses, James and Guilford; Guilford Dudley was
born in Raymond, N. H., Dec. 7, 1795 ; the day he was 21, he left home, and, going to Ohio, worked on a farm for a year ; then went to New Orleans, from which place he came to Coles Co., as early as 1825 or 1826 ; he worked at first on his brother's farm, and afterward entered eighty acres of land. He was married in 1829 to Miss Mary Wiley, who was born in Lexington, Ky., April 22, 1812, and came to Coles Co. in 1828 ; putting up a log cabin on his farm, Mr. Dudley lived there till the fall of 1839, when he erected the frame house now occupied by his youngest son-J. Elbridge Dudley. He held the office of Justice of the Peace a number of years, and also Township Treasurer several terms ; he was a quiet man, never seeking notoriety ; he followed farming till his health failed, when he opened a store on his farm, which he continued until the starting of Ashmore ; he was a successful man, acquiring a handsome property and about 900 acres of land. He died in Feb- ruary, 1864, leaving nine children-Flor- ence (wife of James Routledge, of Doug- las Co.), Hannah (married Jarrot Phelps, and died in 1866), John (now of Charles- ton), Eli, Elizabeth, Naney J.

Brown; she was born in Madison, Jef- ferson Co., Ind., July 5, 1842 ; they have three children-Gleason A., Mary O. and Gerry B. Mr. Dudley owns 400 acres of land, with a beautiful residence, and is quite largely engaged in stock-raising.
MRS. THURZA EPPERSON; P. O. Westfield ; among the pioneers of Coles Co., who came in the year 1834, was Green Epperson, who was born in Madison Co., Ky., about the year 1800. He was . married Dec. 22, 1829, to Miss Thirza Woods, a daughter of Adam and Mary Woods ; she was also a native of Madison Co., Ky., born Dec. 6, 1807.
