R. Simms' Address
After the reading of the ninety- first Psalm by Rev. G. L. Roof, D. D. of Troy, J. R. Simms dellvered the address of welcome, in which he showed the appropriateness of such a ceremony taking place on the day selected. He said:
In behalf of the Fort Plain com- mittee of reception on this interest- tump-lines through suffering In- ing occasion, I take great pleasure wilderness, who after credible hardships, were incarcerated for months-year, for years, In Ca- nadian prisons. Montgomery, Herki- mer and Fulton counties were rife in welcoming to our village this dele- gation of the Oneida Historical So- clety and Its friends and, escort, who have come hither on a sacred and commendable enterprise, to wit-the | with such scenes of carnage and re-interment in a more befitting place, the remains of some of our he- roic pioneer settlers. blood. I cannot linger to single them out, but will barely make allusion to one of the most sanguinary.
The time chosen for the ceremony seems a very proper. one, since we are in the midst of a galaxy of most interesting centennial events. One hundred years ago yesterday, at Yorktown, Va. the . British lion crouched beneath the American eag. le. One hundred one years ago yes- terday, was fought, in the adjoining town of Palatine, scarcely three miles distant, the battle of Stone Arabia, in which the Interp.d and brave Colonel Brown, borne down by overwhelming numbers of the enemy under Sir John Johnson, fell a most generous martyr to the cause of civil liberty. One hundred years ago next Tuesday, occurred the battle of Johnstown, between the Americans under the daring Willett and British. Tories and Indians under Major Rose (Ross) in which the latter were defeated three days later after, far up the West Canada Creek, a just retribution for his 'damning deeds, sealed the fate of the infamous Wal- ter Butler.
It is impossible on this occasion to notice a few of the many thrillng and important events which trans- pired in the Mohawk valley after the
bloody battle at Oriskany, in which the patriots whose memory we now honor took an interesting part. But'1 may say that some of the most unique and noteworthy incidents that ever occurred in any place, trans- pired in the Mohawk river settle- ments durng our seven years' war for the establishment of civle liberty. Many were the hair breadth escapes from the stealthy tory and Indian foeman; while many, very many re- presentatives of familles decimated by the tomahawk and scalping knife, were conveyed at the end of Indian the unbroken
About the 1st of July, 1781 Cap- tain Solomon Woodworth of the Johnstown setlements, a very brave. partisan officer, went on his first expedition with his new command, in search of the foeman. Without awaiting breakfast, with a lunch In their knapsacks, himself, with his command of forty brave men and six
Oneida Indians, moved In early morning from Fort Dayton up the West Canada Creek and was at the end of a few hours drawn into a. defile-surrounded and his command nearly all slain or captured. Twenty- five of his men, including himself, were the next day buried in one grave, a few miles from Eaton's Cor- ners by Captain Putman and anoth- er company of rangers, then at
Fort Dayton. But I can assure the hearer that a thousand and one of
the startling and .blood-curdling
events, which transpired in the war on this then frontier of civilization, will, as I trust, ere long be published for thelr amusement anti considera- tion.

Whelan, Billington Family Tree
(Continued from rast week) By Mrs. Hoyt E. Whelan
Herbert Whelan, born June 11, 1797 at Westmoreland, Oneida Co. N. Y. son of Eli and Desire (Beebe) Whelan married March 30, 1819 to Sylvia Pratt They had four children, and both Herbert and Sylvla died young, about 1827 or 1828 and the children were bound out.
Children :
Clark born Feb. 18, 1820, in Clark- son, Monroe Co, N. Y.
Alenson born March 16, 1822 mar- ried Antoinette Hunter March 7,
1849, Mich.
Julla born April 13, 1824 married Nelson Billington 1845 in Mich.
Eliza married in Ohio, gave birth to baby and died with the baby.
Clark Whelan was bound out to Trumbull Granger when he was eight years old, and when he was thirteen the family moved to Ohlo. At 17 he started out in the world for himself. In November, 1843 he married Miss
Laura R. Aiken. The
Trumbull
Granger family at that time was liv- ,ing on the shores of St. Clair. Clark worked for a time on 'the Ohio Canal from Cleveland to Cincinnati. After marriage he lived for a time in Lor- aine Co., Ohio where his children were born, then moved to Shiawasse Co., Ohio where he and his wife both died in 1890, in Vernon. (Note there Is a Vernon and a Vernon Center near Westmoreland, in Oneida Co., N. Y.) Children
Francis M. Whelan born Sept. 13, 1844 in Russia, Loraine Co., Ohio. Charles Aiken Whelan born Jan. 6, 1846 in Amherst, Loraine Co., O. He supplied the above information and said he remembered distinctly that his father took team and wagon in 1849 and drove to Franklin town- ship, Lenawee Co., Mich., to see his brother Alanson before, Alanson started to California with the Gold Fever. He, Alanson, died there Sept. 7, 1876, in Oakland. Although Charles was less than three year old at the time of the drive from Ohio to Mich- igan It made such a lasting impres- sion upon him that he never forgot it. The trip, doubtless, was · often talked about in the family, helping him to remember it.
The above Julia .Whelan, daughter of Herbert and Sylvia (Pratt) Whel- an, married in 1843, in Lenawee Co., Mich., in 1840, among the Whelans, Knights, Beebes, Allens, Hunters, who were all closely related by ties [ of blood and marriage. Their children were, all born in Franklin township Len. Vo., Mich .:
Alvira born 1843, died 1858.
Alanson Lorenzo (called Len), born Oct. 15, 1845, twin. Clark Alonzo (calied Lon) born October 15, 1945, twin.
Laura Lathuria Hitchcock born April 11, 1848.
Charles Nelson born Sept. 27, 1850. Emma Jane born June 17, 1855. Lodivina (Dorvina) (called Vin- nie) born Dec. 8, 1856. J
1 John Harbert born July 6, 1860.
Frank Nelson born Nov. 1, 1863.
Nelson and Julla ( Whelan)"Billing; ton lived ' all their married life in Frankin township, Lenawee Co.,
Mich. where both died, he in 1874 and she In 1900, except for a period of five or six years when they lived at La Porte, Indiana, on Lorenzo Bll- lington's farm. This Lorenzo Billing- ton was known as "Uncle Lorenzo." They were living there at the time that Ervin John Whelan born Feb. 18, 1840, marrled the daughter of his cousin Julia (Whelan) Billington, Laura Lathuria Hitchcock Billing- ton, Nov. 11, 1866 and brought her back to the old homestead on Sec. 15 of Franklin township, Lenawee' Co., Michigan.
Please note the name of Nelson's son, John Harbert. Was he named for his two grandfathers? His mother's father was Harbert. Was his father's father John ?
Not long after my husband and I were married I was standing in the doorway watching a thunderstorm, when my. mother-in-law, Laura Lathuria Hitchcock (Billingtôn)
Whelan, protected so strongly that I was obliged to close the door to pac- ify her. She told me of some rela- tive who had been killed by lightning while watching a thunderstorm from his doorway. Others of the family have since told me that they have heard the same story, but like my- self they cannot remember the per- son's name or the relationship to us. I was only twenty years old ,not in- terested in the family history, and indignant because I had to close the door, but when Mrs. Charles R. Bush ! of Zanesville, Ohlo got in touch with 119 about 30 years afterward, and
stated that she was looking for name and data on a Billington ances-1 tor who was killed by lightning in his own doorway it all came back to me except the man's name and his relationship to' us. The very things I should have remembered. Most of Nelson's grandchildren, with whom I am acquainted. are very much afraid of a thunderstorm, were made so by their parents' fear. I am con- vinced that the lightning victim was very close to Nelson Billington.
