Luther Russell, son of Return Russell, and father of Miss Sarah E., was born in West Windsor, Conn., November 9, 1801, received a good common-school education, was reared a farmer, and came to Ohio in 1821. He married, March 3, 1828, in Aurora, Ohio, Miss Polly Russell, who was born March 25, 1806, a daughter of Samuel and Hepzibeth (Ellsworth) Russell. From Aurora, Luther and wife came to Streetsboro, about 1830, and settled on the farin now owned by Miss Sarah E. Russell. The farm, which consisted of 105 acres, was covered by a dense growth of
heavy timber, which Mr. Russell cleared off by patient industry and hard work, and in- proved with substantial buildings, making a comfortable home. His children, in order of birth, were named Martin L., born December 29, 1829, died july 2, 1855; Cynthia M., born May 22, 1832, died December 25, 1834; Sarah E., born June 3, 1834; Marion B., born No- vember 10, 1837, died January 18, 1879, and Helen M., born November 16, 1841, died November 28, 1881. Mr. Russell was a man of excellent judgment, and high moral char- acter. In politics he was a democrat, and in religion a Spiritualist. For more than fifty years he was identified with the moral, intel- lectual and material prosperity of Portage county, and, being well read and of profound thought, he was often selected by his neighbors as a counselor and abitrator of their various little difficulties, rather than seeking adjust- ment by litigation. He was of a kind dispo- sition, and very benevolent, and a most affec- tionate husband and father. Successful as a business man and a good manager, and with the aid and economy of his devoted wife, they realized a competence through their individual exertions, and at his death, which occurred August 5, 1878, left the unincumbered farm low occupied by his daughter, Sarah E., and granddaughter, Mrs. Nellie A. (Saddler) Gor- `don. His wife was called away September 9, 1896. Many are the orphaned children now grown to womanhood and manhood, who live to bless their memory.
Helen M. Russell, youngest child of I_u !- ther and Polly Russell, was married, January 1. 1865, to Johnson J. Sadler, a native of Trum- bull county, Ohio, and a son of Thomas and Aun Sadler, who were of Scotch-Irish extrac- tion. Jolmson 1. Sadier was a soldier in the Civil war, and later a coal dealer at. Mar tua Station, where he died May 19, 1882. af the age of forty-four years, a man of excel-

lent moral character, and in politics a repub- lican. The only living child born to Mr. and Mrs. Sadler was named Nellie A., and she was married, Angust 9. 1893, to Oliver P. Harris, a farmer, who was born at Sugar creek, Tus- carawas county, Ohio, February 27, 1871, a son of Joseph and Leah (Gordon) Harris, and who died of typhoid fever in Streetsboro, De- cember 16; 1895, leaving his widow with one son --- Jack Oliver Harris, born September 22, 1895. Her second marriage was consum- mated December 31, 1897, with Elmer E. Gordon, who has spent most of his life in the mercantile business.
Elmer E. Gordon was born in Bedford county, Pa., July 29, 1871, a son of L. M. and Margaret A. Gordon, is a graduate of Pleasantville Normal school, and a member of the Patriotic Sous of America.
The maternal grandfather of Sarah E. was Samuel Russell, whose date of birth and death have been given; his wife was Hepzibeth Ells- worth, of Connecticut; she was born August 30, 1785 and died February 6, 1837. About the year 1811, they, with their three little children, braved the toil and suffering attendant upon . what at that time was a long and tedious jour- ncy, sometimes walking, sometimes riding in the rude wagon which bore their scanty sup- plies, and sometimes riding on the back of the patient ox, which bore them with slow but sure steps from the home of their nativity the wilds of Aurora, Portage county, Ohio. No wonder the tears of the young wife and mother mingled with those of her home-sick children or that fear drove sleep from their eyes when the ! hours of night were filled in by the howling of the hungry wolf, the stealthy stopofthe prowl- 1 ing bear, and oftentimes visits from the red man of the forest, but time and energy changed . this lonely place into a desirable home; here they lived, here they reared their family and from here they passed to peaceful rest and now

The children of this family were as follows: Polly E., the mother of Sarah E. and whose date of birth and death have been given; Sam- uel, Jr., born February 15, 1808, father of four children, survived by only five grandchildren; Cynthia, born May 22, 1810, died February 12, 1828; Laura, born July 8, 1812, in Aurora, died February 28, 1864, in Mendon, Ill., the wife of Dr. Jacob Haymaker. Dr. Haymaker was a man of most generous deeds; he died in Kent, April 15, 1881; children they had none, but by a second marriage to a Miss Harriet Whitcolin three lovely daughters were born to him; this second wife died in Kent September 30, 1897; Newil, born July 27, 1817, in Aurora, died in Winnemucca, Nev .; his wife was Pauline Blachley of Blachleyville, Ohio, They married June 11, 1850; she died in Quincy, Ill., July 29, 1867, leaving five children. The father was of a free, kind, genial nature; he served in both the Mexican and Civil wars: Hor- ace, born December 6, 1819, in Aurora, died March 15, 1857; his wife was Elizabeth Kent, of Aurora: she died January 3, 1866, leaving the old Russell homestead unincumbered to their four children; the home has now passed . into another name; but two children now sur- vive, Bell M. Clark and Horace Z.

Q HAUNCY A. BARTHOLOMEW, an ex-soldier of the Civil war, and a highly-respected citizen of Mantua township, Portage county, Ohio, de- scends from one of the oldest colonial families in America, of which the genealogy, as far as possible, will be traced in the paragraphs fol- lowing:
William Bartholomew, the founder of the family in this country, was born in Buford, England, in 1602 or 1603, was a son of Will- iam and Triswede Bartholomew, who belonged to the pcerage and bore his coat of arms, and yet the father conducted a mercantile establishment. William, the younger, was also reared a merchant, and was married in London to Ann Lord. a sister of Robert Lord, who subsequently became his near neighbor in Ipswich, Mass. Before coming to America he had entertained, at his home in London, the famous Ann Hutchinson, renowned for her free thought and free speech, and who, in 1635, was banished, on this account, by the Massachusetts colony, and accompanied Roger Williams and his colony to the new settlement of Rhode Island. On September 18, 1634, William Bartholomew. in company with Rev. Zachary Symmes, Mrs. Ann Hutchinson, Rev. John Lathop, and some thirty of the latter's congregation, of which he was probably a member, debarked from the sailing vessel Griffin at Boston, Mass., whence he went to Ipswich, where he took an active part in public affairs, represented the residents in the general court in Boston, and held several local offices of trust and honor. About March, 1670, he moved to Boston, where he followed mercan- tile pursuits, and filled several important offices, among them being that of treasurer of the colony. There his death took place Janu- ary, 18, 1682, at the age of seventy-eight years, and his remains were interred in the ; Phipps street cemetery, beside those of John ! 37
Harvard, fanions as the founder of Harvard college. His old residence in Ipswich stood intact until 1894.
William Bartholomew (second), son of the colonist, William, was born in Ipswich, Mass., in 1640 of 1641, was married, December 17. 1663, in Roxbury, Mass., to May, daughter of Capt. Isaac and Elizabeth (Porter) Johnson, and a granddaughter of John Johnson, sur- veyor of all the armies of the king in America, and who was killed while leading his men over the bridge and fallen timber into the Indian fort of the Narragansetts-known in history as the battle of Fort Narragansett. Mr. Bar- tholomew was a carpenter by trade, and was working in Hatfield, Mass., when the Indians destroyed the town, killed twelve white men, captured thirteen, and wounded four. Of the prisoners. his daughter, Abigail, aged four years, with the other twelve, were carried through the forests to Canada, where they were ransomed, eight months later, by the payment of 200 pounds sterling. Mr. Bar- tholomew later removed to Branford (now in Connecticut), erected a saw-mill, was appoint- ed ensign of a military company, then pro- moted to be lieutenant, and still later settled in Woodstock, which town he represented in the general court at Boston, and died in Wood- stock in 1697.
Joseph Bartholomew, son of William (sec- ond), was bom in Branford in 1682, married, November 12, 1713, Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel Sawyer, was a farmer of Wood- stock, Conn., and died at the age of forty-two years. His son, Joseph, was a corporal in Capt. Cheney's company, Choat's regiment. and was in the expedition against Louisburg, on Cape Breton island, at the entrance of the gulf of St. Lawrence, which fortress had cost the French government millions of dollars to build, and was considered to be the strongest in the world, but which fell under an attack

by a few thousand Yankee farmer boys, led by Col. Pepperrell, of Maine, who was knighted for its capture, by the government of England, the event taking place in 1745, during the war between England, George II being on the throne, and the French government, then in possession of Canada -- the colonies of America, of course, being participants in the cause of the British.
Passing now to Joseph Bartholomew, the fifth of the name, and the great-grandfather of Chauncy A., it is proper to state that he was born in Wallingford, Conn., August 25, 1752, and married a widow, Mrs. Esther Cleveland. About 1790 he moved to Hamilton, and thence to Cornwall, Conn., and in 1793 settled in the town of Pompey. N. Y., where he built the first hotel in 1796; and conducted it until 1808. He was also a prosperous farmer and held the office of road overseer.
Chauncy Bartholomew, next in line, was born in Wallingford, Conn., April 15, 1776, married in Pompey, N. Y., Susannah Scho- field, and died in Cornwall, N. Y., in 1808. He, like his father, was a prosperous farmer.
Jonathan P. Bartholomew, father of Chauncy A., was born in Cornwall, N. Y., Sep- tembel 26, 1799, and married, March 4, 1821, Mary Wilson, a daughter of Andrew and Mary Wilson. At the early age of fifteen he en- listed in the volunteer army, and in the war of 1812-15, took part in the battle at Sackett's Harbor, N. Y. He afterward learned black- smithing, and in 1822 came to Ohio and built the first blacksmith shop in Auburn, Geauga county. He also owned several farms, and had born to him a family of twelve children, viz: Charity, Alvirus P., Nelson S., Julia A., Chauncy A., Betsy A., James D., Sarah, Mary L., Alonzo D., Thomas C. and Andrew -- of whom nine lived to rear families of their own. Jonathan Bartholomew was in politics at first a whig, then a republican and abo-
litionist, and gave much attention to the mall agement of the "underground railroad" in assisting runaway slaves to freedom. He held a captain's commission in the old Ohio state militia, was prominent as a member of the Methodist church, and died in that faith at Auburn, February 3, 1862.
Chauncy A. Bartholomew, son of Jonathan P. and May (Wilson) Bartholomew, was born in Auburn, Geauga county, Ohio, August 31, 1828, was reared a farmer, and married, No- vember 25, 1852, in Mantua township, Portage county, Ohio, Miss Emily Winchel, who was born in Mantua township, September 21. 1832, a danghter of Chauncy and Perses (Parker) Winchel.
John Winchel, grandfather of Mrs. Bar- tholomew, was a native of Connecticut, born in Suffield, and there married Roxie Coombs. who bore him eight children --- Ariel, John, Chauncy, Eli, George, Daniel, Roxie and Clarissa. Mr. Winchel was a well-to-do farmer in Connecticut, but late in life came to Ohio, and until his death resided with his son. Chauncy, the father of Mrs. Bartholomew. Chauncy Winchel was born in Suffield, Conn., in 1800, and on coming to Ohio, at the age of fourteen years, was accompanied by his brother George, aged twelve. They had a brother, Eli, living in Aurora, Portage county, with Zenas Kent, and trudged all the way oll foot to visit him. He was the owner of one dollar on his arrival, but found work at clear- ing land, and before his marriage, in Aurora, to Perses Parker, had earned money enough to buy a comfortable home, and died, at the age of eighty-four years, the owner of 1, 3(. ) acres in Portage and Geauga counties, and the father of twelve children, who all grew to ma. turity. viz: John, Roxie, Alden, Danke !. Emily, Pamela, Chauney, Abel, Henry, il ace, Luther and Caroline. Three of thes. sons served in the Civil war --- Abel, Horace

and Luther, and Henry also volunteered, but was rejected on account of his diminutive stature. Abel and Horace were students in Hiram college, under James 1. Garfield, and enlisted in the Forty-second Ohio volunteer infantry, of which Garfield was the colonel; Abel died in Camp Chase, Ohio, of disease contracted in the service, and Horace was seized with typhoid fever while in the field at Big Sandy, and for want of medical attendance became insane, and now draws a pension of $72 per month, and on adjustment of his claim for back pay, etc., was awarded $14,- 595. 17. Luther was for three years in com- pany B, Forty-first regiment, Ohio volunteer infantry, took part in all its engagements, and now lives in Geauga county, one mile north of the residence of Mr. Bartholomew, in Portage county.
Chauncy A. Bartholomew, after marriage, settled on his present farm, which he mainly cleared with his own hands, and built the resi- dence he now occupies. Descending from a race of American patriots, who had served in the war of the Revolution and that of 1812, he and two brothers also became soldiers -- Nelson S. serving for three years in the Fifth Michi- gan cavalry, and re-enlisting for three years longer; Alonzo D. was in the Twenty-third Wisconsin infantry, famous for its bearing the war eagle, Old Abe; was taken prisoner at Port Hudson, and for a long time was con- fined in Libby prison; Chauncy A. enlisted at Chardon, Ohio, September 22, 1862, in com- pany B, Forty-first Ohio infantry, and served until honorably discharged at Nashville, Tenn., January 22, 1863, and took part in several battles and many severe marches, notably that from Lousiville, Ky., to Columbia, Tenn., at the rate of thirty-six miles daily. At Nash- ville, Tenn., he was confined in hospital with malarial fever, pneumonia and chronic diar- rhea, but on all other occasions was ever at his
post, doing good and active service. Since the war he has lived on his farm in Mantua township. He is a member of Bentley post, G. A. R., at Mantua Station, and of the Masonic lodge at Twinsburg. In politics he is a republican, and has always been an in- dustrious citizen, and is highly respected for his sterling integrity and many other excellent traits of character. To Mr. and Mrs. Bar- tholomew have been born no children, but they have reared and educated a legally- adopted son, Albertus C.
