The first prosecuting attorney in Knox county was Samuel Kratzer, esq., who officiated in behalf of the State when no better qualified person was present. He was not an attorney, but appears to have been allowed fees for his services. The first fees for services as prosecuting attorney was by order of the court of common pleas, at its first session held May 2, 1808, the order reading as follows: "On motion, a certificate was issued by the com- missioners in favor of Samuel Kratzer, esq., for his services, for six dollars, in acting on the part of the State against William Hedrick, who was found guilty of felony"-a modest fee when compared with charges for similar services in these days. Edward Herrick was the main reliance in this branch in the early courts, until 1812, when Samuel Mott was appointed March 14th. In January, 1814, Charles R. Sherman was appointed, and at different times S. W. Culbertson, and Willis Silli- man, both of the Zanesville bar; Hosmer Curtis, John W. Warden, and other attorneys were ap- pointed by the court, as business required, until in the year 1833, the legislature provided for the prosecuting attorney's election biennially by the voters of the county, who made the following selections :

1833, Benjamin S. Brown ; 1835-1839, Columbus Delano ; 1839, M. H. Mitchell ; 1840, M. A. Sayer ; 1842-1846, John K. Miller ; 1846-1850, Lafayette Emmett ; 1850, Clark Irvine, sr .; 1852, William Windom ; 1854-1858, W. F. Sapp ; 1858-1862, W. C. Cooper ; 1862, Frank H. Hurd ; 1864-1868, Walter L .. Simmons; 1868, L. H. Mitchell ; 1870-1874, Able Hart, jr .; 1874-1878, Clark Irvine, jr .; 1878-1880, Frank R. Moore.

Until 1831, the court of common pleas appointed the surveyor of the county, and the office was filled by the following persons : In 1808, Samuel H. Smith, appointed May 2d. In 1810, John Dunlap, in June, in place of Smith, resigned ; 1815, William Y. Farquhar, April 15th; resigned 1827; 1827, Edson Hark- ness. The act of the legislature of March 3, 1831, having pro- vided for the election of this officer for a term of three years, those elected by the people since that time are as follows : 1831, Edson Harkness; 1834, Thomas G. Plummer; 1837, T. C. Hickman; 1840, T. G. Plummer; 1843, T. C. Hickman; 1846- 1852, David Gorouch; 1852, T. C. Hickman; 1855-1864, David

C. Lewis; 1864, Henry Cassell; 1867-1875, E. W. Cotton; 1875-1878, J. N. Headington.

County Recorders .- The judges of the court of common pleas appointed this officer until 1829, and at the October election of that year, the people elected a recorder. Under the former system, the term of service was seven years; under the present, three years. Those appointed were: 1808, Gilman Bryant, May 2d, until 1815; 1815, Alexander Elliott, May 2d, until 1822; 1822, Henry B. Curtis, until 1829.

The legislature of 1828-9, having provided for the appoint- ment of recorders by county commissioners, where the office became vacant prior to October, the commissioners appointed John A. Colerick, May 29, in 1829, in place of H. B. Curtis, whose term of office had expired. In 1829, Hill Runyan was elected ; 1838, David Montgomery; 1847, Elijah Harrod; 1856, Carlton C. Baugh; 1856-1865, Elijah Harrod; 1865-1871, Thomas K. Hess; 1871-1877, John Myers; 1877-1880, Samuel Kunkel.

THE citizens of Knox county, or a part of them at least, have taken part in four wars-those of 1812, the Texas troubles, the Mexican war and that of the great Rebellion. In none of these has she been behind her sister counties in patriotism, and in furnishing from her great resources the mus- cle, nerve and sinews of war. In all, her sons freely volunteered and hundreds of them have per- ished upon the battle-field, in the hospital and pris- on pen, falling here and there by the wayside that the Republic might live and the flag float in triumph over a free people.

In the first of these wars (1812) Knox county was in a wilnerness state. It was covered with a dense forest, with only here and there a clearing and a log hut; the great wave of white emigration having but just touched its borders. Mount Ver- non was at that time a rough, hilly spot of ground with a few cabins in it, but mostly covered with hazel and other brush, while logs, trees and stumps blocked up its streets. It was upon the border, although not upon the extreme frontier and Indians, bears, wolves, rattlesnakes and other "varmints" and reptiles were in the majority, largely.

Mount Vernon was a place of rendezvous for volunteers for the war, and two or more companies were raised in this vicinity. Colonel Samuel Krat- zer was a prominent man in the early days of Mount Vernon and in the militia, part of which, under his command marched to the defence of the frontier at Mansfield. As early as 1808, he appears in Mount Vernon as a tavern keeper and merchant, both branches of business being conducted at the same time in the same building. He also appears as one

of the judges of the first election in Knox county, held in April, 1808; also as a justice of the peace in the same year. He figures considerably in the courts of that day, sometime on the jury, but gen- erally as plaintiff or defendant, from which it is reasonable to conclude he was somewhat belligerent in his nature. He was prominent with Butler and Patterson, although a "Methodist" as Butler says, in their "trick" to get the county seat. It appears he came to Mount Vernon from Lancaster where he had been acting as land tax collector for Fair- field county, in 1805. He had there reported him. self robbed of money while on the road and before making his return. "He was a fine, large, fleshy man and wore buckskin breeches. They had holes in them which he claimed had been made by bul- lets in an encounter, but which bore the appearance of having been cut; his saddle-bags also were ex- hibited with horrid gashes in them, and making a proffer of these, he petitioned the legislature for re- lief, and at the session of 1806, the bill for his relief was lost by a vote of ten yeas to seventeen nays .-- (H. J., p. 114).

"Certain it is Kratzer lost caste, and broken up and humiliated, he came to the new town site, bought out Patterson's interest in the town of Mount Vernon, and it is represented that one of the com- missioners was counted on by the settlers as cer- tainly in favor of making said place the county- seat; he got another of the board with him and Mount Vernon came off victorious. Subsequently -and as resulting from this judgment-Kratzer was enabled by the rise in property to pay off his debts, and did the fair and just thing by the com- missioners."

When war was declared Kratzer appears to have been major in a regiment of militia of which Alex- ander Enos was colonel.

Captain Joseph Walker was also an important individual in Knox county, not only in connection with the war, but in civil affairs. He seems to have owned some land where Mount Vernon now stands, and his cabin was the first one erected on the town plat; he was influential in getting the county-seat, and occupied generally a prominent position among the pioneers. He emigrated to this coun- try from Pennsylvania about 1804, and settled near Mount Vernon.

Major Jeremiah Munson, who resided near Granville, in Licking county, was the officer desig- nated by the Government to recruit for the war in this part of the country and for this purpose he came to Mount Vernon one day when the militia was to assemble for general muster and drill. This was on the 8th day of June, 1812, and upon the call of Major Munson for volunteers the whole of Captain Joseph Walker's company, numbering forty-two men, volunteered. The following is the muster roll of Captain Joseph Walker's company, under the command of Colonel Lewis Cass, mus- tered into the service of the United States for one year :

Joseph Walker, captain, June 8, 1812.

R. M. Brown, lieutenant, June 8, 1812.

John Elliott, first sergeant.

John Barney, second sergeant.

Archibald Crawford, third sergeant.

Peter Kyle, fourth sergeant.

Among these volunteers, it will be perceived, was John H. Mefford, subsequently an old and re- spected citizen of Mount Vernon. He was a native of Connelsville, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, who at the time of the breaking out of the war was teaching school in Hawkin's neighborhood, about five miles from Shrimplin's mill. He served under Captain Walker, and also in Captain John Spen- cer's company, the latter company from Licking county. In this last company he was a lieutenant. He was a justice of the peace after his return from the war, also an associate judge, and a man of con-

258

siderable popularity and influence. He died in 1845, at Findlay, Ohio.

The lieutenant of Captain Walker's company, Richard Montgomery Brown, was born in Massa- chusetts, and was of Revolutionary stock. His father, Samuel Brown, was under Montgomery at Quebec, was imprisoned nine months and subse- quently became a pensioner of the United States. Richard M. came to Mount Vernon in October, 1811, and engaged in chair making and as a house painter. He was mainly instrumental in recruiting Captain Walker's company.

Colonel Cass' regiment, to which this company was attached, rendezvoused at Dayton, with the regiments of Colonel McArthur and Colonel Find- ley, composing General Hall's brigade, and at once began its march northward. While they were passing through the Auglaize region, war was de- clared on the eighteenth of June. The noted scouts Zane and McCulloch were the principal pilots for the army.

When Hull surrendered, Captain Walker's com- pany returned home by way of Greentown.

Another active man in those stirring times was Captain John Greer, who raised a company in the eastern part of the county, of which Daniel Sapp was lieutenant and George Sapp ensign. When the Indians threatened the frontier, and the Zimmers, Ruffner and James Copus were mur- dered, the militia was called out and marched from Mount Vernon under Major Kratzer to Mansfield, where they built forts and assisted in guarding the frontier line from that place to Woos- ter.

Colonel Enos insisted on taking command of the militia in this march, but Major Kratzer would not allow it, insisting that Enos was a parolled pris- oner and thereby disqualified for the command.

Many of the pioneers of Knox county, with gun and bullet-pouch, went to the defence of Fort Meigs without organization, but the battle was over before their arrival and their services were not needed. Among them was John Stilley, whose adventures are detailed in another chapter. Stilley was adjutant in Colonel Kratzer's militia, and ren- dered important service in defence of the northern frontier of this county during the threatened Indian raid.

The following regarding a tragedy in this county during the war is given on the authority of Judge Burnet, a very reliable writer. It appears in Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio, and is given for what it is worth. Judge Burnet says:

When the war broke out in 1812, there were sixty-seven fami- lies residing at the foot of the rapids of the Maumee. Manor or Minard, a Frenchman, states that the first intimation that the settlers had of Hull's surrender at Detroit, manifested itself by the appearance or a party of British and Indians at the foot of the rapids, a few days after it took place. The Indians plun- dered the settlers on both sides of the river, and departed for De- troit in canoes. Three of their number reinained, with the inten- tion of going into the interior of the State. One of these was a Delaware chief by the name of Sac-a-manc. Manor won his confidence, under pretense of friendship for the British, and was by him informed, that in a few days a grand assemblage of all the northeastern tribes was contemplated at Fort Malden, and that in about two days after that assemblage, a large number of British and Indians would be at the foot of the rapids, on their march to relieve Fort Wayne, then under investment by the American army as was supposed. He also informed him that when they came again they would massacre all the Yan- kees found in the valley. Sac-a-manc left for the interior of the State, after remaining a day at the foot of the rapids.

Sac-a-manc on his return from the interior of the State, a few days after, showed Manor the scalps of three persons that he had killed during his absence, on Owl creek, near Mount Vernon.

Judge Bnrnet gives no further particulars of this affair, and now the question is, who were these three persons who were scalped on Owl creek in 1812? It seems very strange, if this statement be true, that no account of it appears in the annals of Knox county. The killing of three persons near Mount Vernon in 1812, would have created a panic, that it seems could not have been over- looked by the earlier historians of the county.

By far the most interesting part of Knox county during the war was the northern portion (now Richland county), a region of considerable excite- ment during the first year of the war, and replete with stirring scenes and incidents-the march of armies, erection of forts and Indian massacres.

Mansfield, a little hamlet in the wilderness, was at that time on the extreme frontier border. There were few, if any, settlers north or west of it. The line of the new settlements then extended through Canton, Stark county, and Wooster, Wayne county, to Greentown and Mansfield, the latter being the extreme out-post-located in the midst of savage tribes that had always been the friends and allies

of the British, and which, it was reasonable to be- lieve, would again join the British standard. Hence the uneasy feeling, the thrill of fear that ran through this region, when war was declared. Hitherto, for many years, the Indians had been peaceable and friendly, therefore the settlers had not thought it necessary to construct block-houses for defence, and, at the time war was declared, no block-houses were in existence on this extreme frontier line, where they were most needed. It was not until the surrender of Hull, August 16, 1812, that the pioneers began the erection of block-houses. Hith- erto, the people had confidence in this army, feel- ing it would stand between them and their savage enemies, and the surrender came like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Meanwhile, the militia of the State had been gathering in every direction; the governor, Return J. Meigs, and other officers, were working hard to get the army into fighting trim and get forward supplies. Upon the news of Hull's surrender, all the militia in the State were moved forward to the frontier line. A company of men from Coshocton, under Captain Williams, had pre- ceded Colonel Kratzer and erected a block-house on the public square in Mansfield; another block- house was erected at the same time on the square by Captain Shaffer, of Fairfield county. These block-houses sprang up as if by magic all along the frontier line. One was erected on the Rocky fork, three miles below Mansfield, at Beam's mill; another by Samuel Lewis on Clear fork; another by James Loudon Priest on Lake fork; also one at Belleville, and one (according to the recollection of Dr. Bushnell) east of Lucas, on the Rocky fork, near the eastern line of Monroe township; Thomas Coulter's cabin, near Perrysville, was converted into a block-house; there was a block-house at Wooster, then a small village, and Captain Murray, of General Beall's army, was sent to Jeromeville, where he erected a block-house for the protection of the settlers along the Lake and Jerome forks. The block-houses at Fredericktown and Clinton were also erected about this time. Many families, not near enough to get into these block-houses, or preferring to remain nearer their homes, collected together and fortified the strongest of their cabins. There was a good deal of fear and confusion along the frontier, the settlers fearing that the Indian

hordes of Tecumseh would soon be upon them. However, in a few days after the cowardly surren- der of Hull, the frontier line was fairly protected. On the west end, at Upper Sandusky, was General Harrison, awaiting supplies and reinforcements ; at Mansfield was Colonel Kratzer with several companies of militia and two good block-houses ; at Wooster, General Beall was collecting an army, and between Wooster and Mansfield the different block-houses were rapidly garrisoned by the troops of Beall or Kratzer. The line was very quickly complete, though weak in places. Roads had been cut between these points so that any part of this line could be speedily reenforced. This was the condition of things in September, 1812.

Early in September, General Reasin Beall began raising a brigade for the protection of the frontier and the assistance of General Harrison. As it is necessary to give pretty fully the particulars of this expedition, a sketch of General Beall's life may be appropriately inserted here.

Reasin Beall was born in Maryland, December 3, 1769; removed with his parents, while yet young- to Washington county, Pennsylvania, where they madé a permanent settlement. In 1790, Beall served in General Harmar's campaign against the Indians, as an officer in the quartermaster's depart- ment, and was in the action under Colonel Hardin, when that officer was defeated near Fort Wayne, by the Indians under Little Turtle. Beall then re- turned to his friends in Pennsylvania, and was not in the disastrous campaign of General St. Clair; but, when Wayne took command of the army, and led it to victory over the Miami Indians, he accom- panied him in the capacity of ensign. In this cam- paign he became intimately acquainted with Cap- tain, afterward General, Harrison, who was on General Wayne's staff. In 1793, he resigned his position in the army and returned to his friends in Pennsylvania, where he was married to Miss Re- becca Johnson. In 1801, he removed with his family, and settled, for a short time, in Steuben- ville; removing, in the fall of 1803 to New Lisbon, in Columbiana county. He was here when the War of 1812 began, holding the position of clerk of the court. He had served long enough in the army to give his mind a military turn, and to ren- der his services desirable by the Government.

260

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.

Soon after his removal to New Lisbon he was made colonel of militia, and a few years afterward was promoted to brigadier general, which office he held at the breaking out of the war. When the news of the surrender of Hull reached him, Gen- eral Beall put himself at the head of his command and marched to the relief of Richland (then Knox) , and Wayne counties. His command was made up of a regiment from Jefferson and Harrison coun- ties, a regiment from Columbiana, and a small draft from Stark, all of which rendezvoused at Can- ton, in Stark county, where General Beall, being the senior officer, took command. While collecting and drilling his troops at Canton, General Beall sent forward a few squadrons in detachments, to reconnoitre the country west, afford protection to the trembling settlers, and garrison the newly con- structed block-houses, beginning his march with the main army (about two thousand men) the latter part of August .*

The General Government had no military stores from which supplies could be drawn, nor was it possible to obtain a sufficient quantity of cloth, or a 'easonable number of blankets, to supply the army hen in the service with even one-half which the health and comfort of the troops required; nor had che State the means of meeting the necessities of the troops on short notice. The consequence was that those who were unable to purchase their own necessaries (and most of them were) suffered greatly. To supply the army with rations in a sparsely settled frontier region, where the inhabit- ants were few in number and had not enough for themselves, and the commissary department desti- tute of funds to purchase or transport from a dis- tance, was a matter of the utmost difficulty ; indeed, it presented a barrier almost insurmountable. With all these difficulties, General Beall felt the ne- cessity of pushing forward, his first day's march taking him to the Tuscarawas river, near where Massillon is now located. After halting here a few days, he continued his march into the present county of Wayne, and camped about three weeks
