The Court orders that the Commissioner of the seat of Justice of the County be directed to proceed to lay off the town of Independence, on the southwest quarter of section 2, township 49, range 32, west of 5th Prin- cipal Meridian and to have a plat of said town prepared and ready to lay. before the Court at a special term which will be held on Friday the first day of June.


Special Term, June 1st, 1827.


Court met persuant to adjournment all members present. In persu- ance of an order of Court, Samuel Newton, Commissioner of seat of Jus- tice made the following report:


To the Honorable County Court of Jackson County :


The undersigned commissioner of the seat of justice for the County of Jackson reports, that in pursuanec of an order of the Court, to him directed has proceeded to lay off the Town of Independence on the quarter Section of land selected for the purpose and has prepared a plat of same, which is herewith presented for the consideration of the Court.

Henry Burrus (seal)


Ordered that the Commissioners of the seat of Justice be directed to have a copy of the plat of the Town of Independence prepared on or before the first sale of lots in said town and that a copy of this order be furnished to him.


At that time stores must have been scarce where books and stationery could be furnished. We find that the clerk of the court had to go away from here to buy supplies, as evidenced by the following account:


Record No. 5.


L. W. Boggs presented to the Court the following account


The County of Jackson (for County Clerk's office)


Dr. to L. W. Boggs


For cash paid at Liberty for 2 blank books $4.50


We find that newspapers were also scarce in Jackson County at that time, and the people had to go away from home to get their legal notices published, as witness the following :


Account No. 6


L. W. Boggs presented to the Court the following account


The County of Jackson Dr. to L. W. Boggs


For cash paid Nathl. Patten for publishing in the Missouri Intelli- gencer the notice of the intended presentation of a petition from the inhab- itants of Jackson County to the last Legislature praying the establishment of that County, April 20, 1827, as per receipt herewith-$4.00.


Ordered same be allowed and paid out of any money not otherwise appropriated.


Ordered that the following described lots in the town of Independence be restored and appropriated for the following purposes, to-wit:


Lot 143 containing 21/2 acres reserved for purpose of public spring.


Lot No. 2 reserved for the purpose of common jail.

HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


As an estimate of the value of lots in Independence at that time, the following order of the court will explain the ideas of the court:


Ordered that the Commissioner of the seat of Justice be directed to proceed to give such public notice as he may deem necessary that a public sale of the lots of the town of Independence be held at the County Seat on Monday, the 9th day of July next, and that the sale be continued for three days, in succession unless sooner disposed of and that the commissioner be directed to proceed on that day to offer each lot separately until the whole number of lots have been offered for sale and it is further ordered that the terms and conditions of the sale shall be as follows, to-wit: All of Lots of less size than 1 acre not to be sold for less than Ten Dollars, all lots of 1 acre or more for not less than $10.00 per acre. One fourth of the purchase price to be paid on the day of the sale, and the balance in three equal installments Twelve, Eighteen and Twenty four months from and after the day of sale.


Since the adjournment of the court held June 1st, some of its mem- bers must have had a change of view as to the value of lots in Inde- pendence. At a special term of said court held July 7, 1827, we find the following on the records of the court:


This Court orders that so much of the order of this Court which was made on the 1st day of June, relating to the price of lots in the town of Independence as fixes the price of all lots of one or more acres at Ten Dollars, per acre, be reserved and that the Commissioner of the seat of Justice be directed to offer any lot containing one or more acres at Five Dollars per acre and not to dispose of any such lots for a less price per acre.


Ordered that the Court do now proceed to appointment of a constable for each township in this county for one year whereon the court appointed James W. McClellan constable of Ft. Osage Township, Joseph Brown, con- stable for Blue Township, Richard Hancock, constable for Kaw Township.


We wonder what some of the county assessors of the State of Mis- souri at this time would think if they were called upon to asses their county for the munificent amount paid for the first assessment made of the property of Jackson County. Here is an itemized account of the total cost of making the assessment for the year 1827:


Richard B. Chiles, paid into the Court the following account.


The State of Missouri Dr. to Richard B. Chiles


For 12 days services as assessor for the County of Jackson for the


year 1827, at $1.75 per day $21.00


Ordered that the above account of $21.00 be allowed and approved and certified to the auditor of public accounts.


160


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


At that time the members of the county courts were paid $1.75 per day for their services, as evidenced by the first bill ever presented for allowance for services as a member of said court in this county :


The County of Jackson Dr. to Abraham Mcclellan


1827


May 22nd to 2 days services as Justice of the County Court at special


term, May 21, 22 at $1.75 $3.50


June 1st to 1 days service at special term


1.75


July 8th to 1 days service at special term 1.75


Total $7.00


The clerks of courts were not paid as large salaries as now. The first account allowed for services as county clerk of this county was as follows :


Lilburn W. Bogg presented to the Court his account against the County for fees as County Clerk amounting to Twenty Four Dollars 871/2 Cents. Ordered that said account be allowed and paid as follows:


$5.89 out of any monies in the treasury arising from sale of lots at the County Seat, and $18,98 out of any money in the County Treasury ap- propriated to County expenditures.


FIRST FERRY.


There were no bridges over the Missouri River and as the roads of the traveling points passing from one point to another demanded means of crossing, ferry boats and landings were put into service at many points on the river. The law demanded that every person keeping a ferry should have a license from the county in which it was operated, and gave the county court authority to fix the amount to be charged for rendering the service. At the November term, 1827, an order is found as follows :


On petition of citizens this day presented to the Court praying for the establishment of a Ferry across the Missouri River at the place called Uneaw's Ferry about three miles below Chouteaus former trading house. It is ordered by the Court that clerk of this Circuit issue to said Uneaw a license for one year to keep a ferry at the place aforesaid upon the pro- duction of the collectors receipt and entering into bond with sufficient security Tax $2.00 and it is further ordered that the following rates be allowed to said Uneaw, to-wit:

FIRST SALE OF LOTS.


Independence was laid out by David Ward, Julius Emmons and John Bartleson in 1827. These gentlemen were appointed by the General As- sembly of Missouri to preempt a tract of land upon which to locate a county seat for Jackson County ; their final report bears the date of March, 1827. The first court was held by David Todd, on the 21st of May, following. The original town plat contained 240 acres, upon which have been found sixteen springs of pure water. The first public land was sold in Jackson County on the 11th day of November, 1828.


The first census of Jackson County was taken by Mr. Jacob Gregg, in 1826, and he received $10 for ten days services. It hardly looks as if it could have been thoroughly done in that time by one person, but such is the record.


Mr. Samuel Newton was the commissioner appointed to number the lots and his report gives much of local interest. Labor was cheap, one dollar a day being his own charge for services. He quotes whisky at 50 cents per gallon, and he charged the city 25 cents for the survey of each lot.


S. G. Owens, Garrett M. Hensley, Jno. R. Swearingen and Judge John Smith were appointed commissioners to sell lots. John Dunston was sur- veyor, and completed his work Jan. 9, 1827, afterward the town was platted off by Geo. W. Rhodes, which plat is on record in the office. Abner J. Adair purchased the first lots, Nos. 20 and 21, in the old town. Three years after the first part of the town was laid off, the annexed part, the south half of northwest quarter of section No. 2, was added by special act of the Legislature, and Abram McClelland was appointed com- missioner to convey the property to various individual purchasers. This act was passed in 1831.


The first sale of lots took place on the 9th, 10th and 11th days of July. 1827, and in the Recorder's office will be found the report of the

Independence, August 6, 1827.

164


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


Some of the payments on lots became due in July, others in August, and later periods.


We give the following voucher as showing the way the business was done, the money received and the kind being fully given in the receipt:


"Received of Lewis Jones, commissioner of the seat of justice for Jackson County, Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight Dollars and eighteen cents in specie, and Fifty Dollars in United States paper ; Fifteen Dollars in Auditor's warrants, taken of L. W. Boggs, by order of the court; Eigh- teen Dollars in county warrants, payable to L. W. Boggs; paid S. C. Owens, as County Treasurer, Eighteen Dollars and ninety-two cents; also seven dollars and fifty cents, in two notes-one on Smith and the other on John Cornet, both to be charged to said John Smith, as the bidder of the public gaol; making in the whole, allowing the said Lewis Jones one- half per cent for collection, three hundred and sixty-six dollars and fifty- six cents. This 2d day of February, A. D. 1829.


"SAM'L C. OWENS, Clerk, "Acting as County Treasurer."


It may be interesting to some of the present day lot owners to know where some of those lots that brought the former prices are situated. ·Lot 10, that was sold at the sale to Solomon Flournoy for $40.50, is the lot on which Clinton's drug store and Casper and Shimfessel's store now stands. Lot 11, that was sold to James Aull for $32.00, is the lot on which Beaty's jewelry store now stands.


Lot 13, for which James Roy paid $40.50, is the lot on which the Wat- kins Music Company and Fuche's jewelry store and Cook and Dilling- ham's shoe store now stands. Lot 18, for which Smallwood B. Noland paid the big price of $25.50, is now occupied by the Bank of Independ- ence, DeCoursey's store, and other properties.


Lot 20, for which Lewis Jones paid $34.50, is now occupied by the Air Line depot. Lot 19, for which Daniel Munro paid $10.25, is the lot just east of the Air Line depot. Lot 50, for which Thomas Pitcher paid $35.25, now occupied by Bostains the Fashion, Sturges jewelry store and Dooleys. Lot 51 is now occupied by Pendleton and Gentry's drug store and other buildings. Lot 73, that was bought by James Kimzey for $27.00, is now occupied by the Chrisman Sawyer Banking Company and the Jackson County Bank.


Lot 64, for which Jones Flournoy paid $34.50, is now occupied by Sam Turoff store, Puckett's fruit store and others.


165


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


Lot 69, now occupied by the Mize Hardware Company, was sold for $10.00 to Lawrence Flournoy. The lot on which the Mason building stands was sold to Roland Flournoy for $10.00.


Cicero Brown paid $10.00 for the lot on which the City Hall stands. Elisha Todd paid $42.00 for the lot on which Ott & Sampson building now stands.


Lot 43, for which James Brown paid $41.00, is now occupied by the Bundschu store. Lot 5, for which Geo. Alexander paid $25.25, is now occupied by the Hill Bros. hardware store.


It developed at the sale that demand for Independence property was not very urgent; that money was scarce or not many bidders that wanted to buy. There were 143 lots laid out and only 85 of them sold at the sale. The amount presented by Mr. Newton for the expense of the sale was as follows :

We wonder what the county court or the people of the present day would think if such an account was presented for payment. At that day and time people looked upon the liquor traffic in a very different light than the present day. The court made the following order in relation to same :


166


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


Ordered that the sum of $64.56 be allowed Samuel Newton as Com- missioner of the seat of justice for this County, being the amount of his account this day presented to the Court, and settled and entered in this book page 15, and it is further ordered that the Clerk issue a Warrant for the said sum payable out of any moneys in the County treasury aris- ing from the sale of lots at the County seat.


CHAPTER XI


JACKSON COUNTY IN THE MEXICAN WAR


PRESIDENT CALLS FOR 50,000 VOLUNTEERS-EIGHT COMPANIES RAISED- OFFICERS ELECTED-DONIPHAN ELECTED COLONEL-CAPTAIN WALDO COMMANDS COMPANY A-ROSTER OF COMPANY-"DONIPHAN'S EXPEDITION" -- BATTLE OF SACRAMENTO-MAJOR OWENS KILLED-CLOSE OF WAR-MIS- SOURIANS DISCHARGED AT NEW ORLEANS-SOLDIERS RETURN HOME- RECEPTION OF VETERANS AT INDEPENDENCE.


When war was declared by the United States against Mexico in A. D. 1846, the President called for an army of 50,000 volunteers, troops de- signed to operate against Mexicans. Missouri was called upon to furnish one regiment of mounted men. They were to meet at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, and be mustered into service of the United States.


The regiment was composed of eight companies, designated as com- panies A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively, from the counties of Jack- son, Lafayette, Clay, Saline, Franklin, Cole, Howard and Calloway, com- manded by Captains Waldo, Walton, Moss, Reid, Stephenson, Parsons, Jackson and Rodgers, 856 men. All of the companies having arrived, an election was held for the regimental officers, and resulted in the follow- ing men being chosen: For colonel, Alexander W. Doniphan, a private soldier from the Clay County company ; for lieutenant-colonel, C. F. Ruff, a private from Clay County ; for major, William Gilpin, a private from the Jackson County company.


Lieutenant-colonel Ruff was a graduate of the military establishment of West Point, and had been appointed second lieutenant of the First Dragoons (as cavalry soldiers were then called), but had resigned his commission in the army and entered civil life. He resigned his commis- sion in the volunteer service Sept. 18, 1846, and was appointed captain in


168


HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY


the regular army. An election was called to fill the vacancy in the office of lieutenant-colonel, which resulted in the election of Capt. Congreve Jackson, of Howard County. Colonel Ruff, being a West Pointer, tried to enforce the rigid discipline of the regular army upon the volunteers, which they resented to its fullest extent. The following is the roster showing the names and rank of Capt. David Waldo's Company A in the First regiment, Missouri mounted volunteers, Mexican War:
