Jane, daughter of John 'Billington, was born Jan. 25, 1825, in Columbus, Ohio.
The 1830 U. S. Census of Scipio township, La Porte Co., Ind., gives Lorenzo Billington, John's son, as 29 years old, iborn in Ohio. He and Jane are mentioned in John's will, also a daughter, Martha Finley. In his will John Billington gave his "Cottage Bible" to Mary A. Dexter but no relationship was mentioned. Lorenzo, age 29 in 1850, must have been born in 1821.
Jane Billington, daughter of John and Amelia, married Nov. 6, 1845 at La Porte, Ind. 1 have corresponded with her son, Albin Goff who lived at Arkansas City, also visited him. His father was Brainard Goff, Jr. who with his wife Jane moved west- ward in a covered wagon in 1869 or 1870. He remembered his mother's brother Lorenzo Billington and said they were full brother and sister. He also remembered his mother's half-sister Martha Finley, and said there was a Melvin Dexter who lived in Indiana who was related to his mother and whom his mother visited a short time before she and her fam- ily removed to Kansas. He also said there were two brothers by the name of Watt at Central College, Ohio who were related to his mother, whom she visited and who visited her.
.Albin Goff also told me of John Billington of Galesburg, Illinois, who had children Ira and Ella, all related to his mother, but he was not cer- tain just how they were related to her. These things all tie in with the information which Mrs. Charles R. Busch of Zanesville, Ohio, has of the famiy, although they never knew each other or heard of each other except through me after 1 had the information from each one separ- ately.
Albin Goff said that his mother's half-sister, Martha Finley, was older than his mother; that Martha's mother was a first wife, and Jane's mother was the second wife. He al- so said that his mother said some of the children had received their por- tions of their father's estate before their father made his 'will and died. Albin Goff did not have knowledge of Mary A. Dexter but remembered that her son Melvin Dexter was a relative of his mother. The Watt boys whom he remembered were sons of Lurena H. Billington, daugh- ter of Amelia by her first husband who was the lightning victim. Lurena H. Billington was born Oct. 20, 1810. She married John Watt and was the only one of the family who did not remove to La Porte Co., Indiana in 1839 or 1840. Mrs. Busch is descend- ed from her through her son George, and old family letters written by John Billington designate John Watt as son-in-law.
Albin Goff said that John Billing- tom (2nd), father of Ira and Ella, lived in a farm near Oneida, Ill. when his family was moving to Kan- sas, and they stopped with them for a visit. Later, the younger John mov- ed to Galesburg, 1ll. This John is mentioned in the will of his grand- father John, Albin also said there were other children than Martha by the first wife of the elder John Bil- lington of La Porte.
My husband's parents, Ervin John
and Laura, Lathuria Hitchcock (Bil-).
lington) Whelan, often spoke of the Goffs but I do not remember any given names or the relationship to us.
John Billington appears to have removed from Franklin Co .; Ohio, to La Porte Co., Indiana in, the latter. part of 1839 or early in 1840.
Liber H. page 400 of La Porte Co., Indiana, deeds records contains un- der date of May 29, 1839, "John Billington of the county of Franklin and state of Ohio" purchased land In La Porte Co., Ind. from James B. Skinner and wife Clarissa; witnesses George Swope and Joseph, Blake. Deed filed May 29, 1839.

Wagner Memorial
(Continued from last week)
J. R. Simms' Alddress
I repeat, this is a befitting time to honor the memory and deeds of known patriots; and that country will be found 'the most prosperious and happy which properly cherishes and perpetuates the memory of its heroes' ancestry, whether in words or on enduring marble. I cannot trespass upon your time, as I antici- pate that a rich feast of words is in store for us. .
Again I say to our distinguished guests-your are thrice welcome to the hospitality of the village of Fort Plain.
Rev. Dr. Wortman stated that it seemed to him becoming that the music should belong to the period in which the men to be reinterred belonged, and the choir would sing "The Dying Christian" to an old tune. This was performed with con- siderable spirit and with a similar lugubrous strain, sung later, formed a complete demonstration to the au- dience that church music has im- mensely improved within a half cen- tury. Dr. Isaac S. Hartley offered prayer, beseeching heaven that liber- ty for which these men fought and labored, might 'continue always to bless. their descendants.
Peter G. Webster, of Fort Piain, being introduced made a brief speech thanking the Historical Society for its assistance, and the Utica Citi- zens' Corps and the military escort for their kind attendance Mr. Wep- ster connected the historic, event (which the day commemorated with the great rebellion, and called to mind the bravery shown by Utica soldiers and the readiness with which they and their comrades through the Mohawk Valley took up their arms in defense of the country. Mr. Web- Ister strongly commended every ef- fort to bring to the minds of the present and of the future genera- tions the. noble deeds done by their fathers. He spoke with feeling and force and in closing, read a por- tion of a speech he delivered on a similar occasion many years ago.
.Rev. Dr. Wortman's Address
After Mr. Webster, Rev. Dennis Wortman, D. D., spoke with force and appropriateness: "We stand to- day' upon historic ground. From the point where the dust of the old Re- volutionary soldiers shall henceforth repose, we may gaze well about us in every, direction, over valley and hill, and nowhere may we turn our eyes but they behold some spot asso- ciated with Revolutionary suffering and heroism, or even pre-Revolution- ary history. Here the old fort stood whence this town derives its name
called Fort Plain, and afterwards Fort Rensselaer. Yonder, further on, the old church and graveyard where, during and before that epoch, the living worshipped and the dead were ; buried. "Some two miles further and across the river, near : Palatine Church, stood . old Fort Wagner, home and fortress both-just as now, and evermore the home is the divine- ly protected fortress of our nation- al virtue, integrity and strength. It
stands yet, a strong stone, house, that stood in those, olden days as a protection against the foe. Skirting well off to the right, a few miles, you can see the old church at Stone Arabia, it predecessor burned a hun- dred years last October, while many of the people all about were massa- cred. Further to the right, near Palatine Bridge, you come upon the battle ground to which our veteran Fort Plain historiam, Mr. Simms, has alluded, the battle ground, where under Colonei Brown, the Stone Ara- bians resisted so courageously the tory and Indian bands. Off towards the southwest the'eye passes beyond Forts Ciyde, Failing and Ehle and the Fort Rensselaer of Canajoharie on the continent. Their homes and im- was destroyed; and, yet further, to Cherry Valley, almost half of whose population was killed or captured by the brutai Butler, Brant being at
the massacre, but an unwilling and protesting participant. I say it is historic ground. It has pre-Revolu- tionary interest. All this valley teem- ed with a vigorous Indian popula- tion, one of the most powerful tribes n the continent. Their hmes and im- plements of war seem so abundant as almost to make an Indian cemetery of many of these hillsides, while out beyond Ephratah a score of mounds indicate even a possibility of pre-In- dian occupation. Stili, above all else, this is Revolutionary ground. In view of all hardships then endured in this whole region, I have accus- tomed myself to call it. the very Shenandoah vailey, of that immortai confiict.

History and Purpose. Organized in 1888 for the purpose of gathering and preserving documents and re- lics closely associated with the his- tory of Schoharie county in general and the Old Stone Fort in particular. "The latter is sponsored by the so-, ciety and is supported by county funds and voluntary contributions. It was originally erected by the Reformed Protestant High Dutch in 1772 and was converted into a fort during the Revolution. The stockade was removed in 1785, after which the pews were again placed in the build- ing and it reverted to a place of wor- ship. In 1857 the Reformed Protest- ant High Dutch Church' society sold the old church to the State of New York. It was used as a state arse- nal and as the headquarters of the 108th Regiment, New York National Guard, until 1873, when it was given back to Schoharie county on condi- tion that it be kept in good repair. In 1888 the Schoharle County Board of Supervisors assumed the custo- dianship and care of the building and the Schoharie County Historical So. ciety began the work of collecting materials relating to the building as a church and as a fort. The Society welcomes gifts and conditional de- posits, does not seli or exchange man- uscripts and has limited funds for their purchase. The Society's hold- ings are housed in the Old Stone Fort, a two story, fireproof stone building, which serves primarily as a museum. The present facilities for the storage and consultation of the society's holdings are inade- quate.
