Late in the morning of July 4th Ensign Blackman was joined at the fort by his son Elisha, who had escaped from the battle-field, and in the afternoon they set out on foot for Fort Penn. Ensign Blackman's house and barn and their contents were totally destroyed when Wilkes-Barre was burnt by the savages. He also lost his oxen and other stock, with the exception of two cows. The two Elishas made their way to Fort Penn in due time, but later they both returned to Wilkes-Barre and were in service here as early, at least, as August 9, 1778 (see "Collections and Proceedings of The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society," VII : 112), in the detachment of militia commanded by Lieut. Col. Zebulon Butler-as explained in the ensuing chapter. Some time later in 1778, or perhaps early in 1779, Ensign Elisha Blackman joined his wife and children in Connecticut, where, in April, 1780, he was one of the signers of a memorial presented to the General Assembly of Connecticut by certain Wyoming refugees who were then temporarily residing in Connecticut. (See a subsequent chapter.) In 1787 Elisha Blackman returned to Wilkes-Barre, whither his sons had preceded him in 1786, and here he lived until his death, September 10, 1804.

Elisha Blackman was married March 22, 1753, to Mrs. Lucy (Polley) Smith, widow of Ebenezer Smith, and they became the parents of the following-named children, who were all born in Lebanon, Connecticut: (i) Lucy, born September 7, 1755; married to Titus Darrow. (ii) Lovina, born Sep- tember 7, 1757; married to Darius Spafford, who was killed in the battle of Wyoming. (iii) Elisha, born April 4, 1760. (iv) Ichabod, born March 24, 1762. (v) Elcasar, born May 31, 1765.

(iii) Elisha Blackman, Jr., whose picture stands at the head of this note, came to Wilkes-Barre in 1773, at the age of thirteen, with the other members of his father's family. He took part in the battle of Wyoming as a private in the "Lower Wilkes-Barre Company," commanded by Capt. James Bidlack, Jr. In the hardest part of the battle he saw his brother-in-law, Darius Spafford, fall mortally wounded, and he became so intent on avenging the death of the latter that it was some time before he discovered that the Americans were losing ground. In the flight from the field he and a compan- ion headed for the river. Indians chased them and called to them to surrender, assuring them that they would not be hurt. Blackman did not surrender, but his companion did, only to have his skull

immediately split open with a tomahawk. Blackman strained every nerve to escape, and did so by swimming to Monocanock Island-with the bullets fired by the pursuing savages whistling about his head. He remained in hiding on the island until after nightfall, and then made his way to Forty Fort. The next morning he set out for Wilkes-Barre, and, as previously mentioned, reached the fort here shortly before noon. Miner says ("Wyoming," Appendix, page 83) that only eight members of Captain Bidlack's company escaped from the battle ground on July 8, 1778: Ensign Daniel Downing, Serg't Jabez Fish, Serg't Phineas Spafford, Elisha Blackman, Jr., Samuel Carey, M. Mullen, Thomas Porter, drummer, and one other.

As previously mentioned, Elisha Blackman, Jr., returned to Wilkes-Barre in August, 1778, and was in service here as a militia-man under the command of Lieut. Colonel Butler. In the Sullivan Expedition of 1779 (see Chapter XVIII), he served in the Wyoming militia company commanded by Capt. John Franklin. Later in that year, or early in 1780, he joined his parents and the other mem- bers of their family in Connecticut.

Early in 1781 Elisha Blackman, Jr., enlisted as a private in the company of Capt. Selah Benton of Stratford, in the 5th Regiment, Connecticut Line, commanded by Lieut. Col. Isaac Sherman (see note on page 840), and served till the latter part of June, 1782. He was honorably discharged from the service at Fishkill, New York, and thence he went to the home of his parents in Lebanon. There he subsequently learned the trade of a tanner and currier, and in 1786, in company with his brothers Ichabod and Eleazar, he returned to Wilkes-Barre. The three brothers built a log house on the lot of their father-on South Main Street, between the present Academy and Sullivan Streets.

Elisha Blackman, Jr., was married January 10, 1788, to Anna (born January 5, 1763), daughter of "Deacon" John and Abigail (Avery) Hurlbut of Westmoreland. March 25, 1790, Elisha Blackman, Jr., was commissioned First Lieutenant of the Light Infantry Company attached to the "1st Regiment of Militia in Luzerne County," commanded by Lieut. Col. Matthias Hollenback. In 1791 Lieutenant Blackman bought a tract of land in Hanover Township, to which he removed and which he cleared up and converted into a farm. His wife died there January 6, 1828. There he resided until his death, which occurred December 5, 1845. (His obituary was published in the Republican Farmer and Democratic Journal of December 10, 1845.) During the last ten years of his life he was a United States pensioner.

Elisha and Anna (Hurlbut) Blackman were the parents of the following-named children: (1) Henry, born August 28, 1788. See below. (2) Stephen, born August 20, 1790; died September 28, 1790. (3) Ebeneser, born July 88, 1791; married in 1817 to Susan M. Stockbridge; died December 4, 1844. (4) Lovina, born August 6, 1793; died August 29, 1798. (5) Hurlbut, born September 25, 1794; married January 18, 1821, to Sarah Rollin; died October 17, 1872. (6) William, born November 19, 1796; died January 14, 1800. (7) Elisabeth, born August 26, 1799; married August 27, 1828, to Henry Boos; died prior to 1862. (8) Elisha, born August 1, 1801; married December 82, 1828, to Amy Rollin; died February 29, 1872. (9) Julia Anna, born April 25, 1806. See below. (10) Abigail, twin sister of Julia Anna, died April 84, 1807.

(1) Henry Blackman, born August 28, 1788, was married June 27, 1813, to Sarah E. Bennett, born March 8, 1796. The former died October 18, 1842, and the latter died January 28, 1881. Their remains lie in Forty Fort Cemetery. Henry and Sarah (Bennett) Blackman were the parents of twelve children, all born in Hanover Township, Wyoming Valley, as follows: (i) Lucinda, born October 18, 1814; married November 15, 1831, to Avery Marcy, and had ten children; died in Ashley. Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, April 13, 1891. (ii) Abigail, born May 8, 1816; married in 1842 to William Potter; died October 16, 1889. (iii) Sally, born March 30, 1818; died October 25, 1881. (iv) Melinda C., born June 9, 1820; married December 31, 1844, to the Rev. John White, son of Daniel White of Wilkes-Barre, and had two sons and one daughter who grew to maturity; she died at Ashley, in Wyoming Valley, December 4, 1902. (v) Elisha, born July 22, 1822; married February 24, 1848, to Adaline Bidleman. (vi) Araminta, born August 24, 1824; married July 11, 1848, to John Dwight Safford. (vii) Hiram, born August 26, 1826; died December 5, 1850. (viii) Elisabeth A., born Sep- tember 20, 1828; married December 28, 1844, to Daniel Kidney. (ix) William R., born March 16, 1831; died March 9, 1833. (x) Martha Lovina, born November 16, 1883; married in 1853 to Brittain Williams; died in 1860. (xi) George Henry, born March 8, 1837; died April 8, 1838. (xii) Susan Maria, born December 25, 1889.

(9) Julia Anna Blackman (born April 25, 1806), daughter of Elisha and Anna (Hurlbut) Black- man, was married December 21, 1828, to Charles Plumb, who was born August 4, 1809, and died Feb- ruary 14, 1831. Mrs. Julia A. (Blackman) Plumb died in Hanover Township June 29, 1889. The only child of Charles and Julia A. (Blackman) Plumb is Henry Blackman Plumb, born in Hanover Township November 13, 1829. He is the author of "A History of Hanover Township," published at Wilkes-Barre in 1885, and the compiler of the pedigrees of the Blackman, Plumb, Collings, and other families, published in folio form at Wilkes-Barre in 1894. From the latter work the present writer derived the greater part of the genealogical data contained in this note.

(iv) Ichabod Blackman, born at Lebanon, Connecticut, March 24, 1762, second son of Elisha and Lucy (Polley) Blackman, was eleven years old when he came with his parents and the other members of their family to Wilkes-Barre. At the time of the irruption of the Tories and Indians into Wyo- ming Valley Ichabod Blackman was in the seventeenth year of his life, and, being within the age limits fixed by the militia laws of Connecticut, was an enrolled member of the 84th Regiment. With his father and elder brother, Elisha, Jr., he took part in the military expedition from Forty Fort to Sutton's Creek, July 1, 1778, as described on page 990. Whether or not Ichabod Blackman took part in the battle of Wyoming is not now known. It is quite probable that he was one of the garrison at Fort Wilkes-Barre. He Aled from the Valley with his mother, sisters and younger brother, and, mak- ing his way with them to Connecticut, remained there until 1786, when he returned to Wilkes-Barre. The same year he was married at Goshen, New York, to Elizabeth (born at Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1760), daughter of Arnold Franklin of Hanover Township in Wyoming Valley.

In 1790 Ichabod Blackman removed with his wife and child from Wilkes-Barre to Sheshequin (previously mentioned), where he settled on, and cleared up, a large tract of land now owned by one of his descendants. In the month of April, 1798, he was accidentally drowned in the Susquehanna River while crossing it in a canoe near the mouth of Sugar Creek, on a very dark night. He was survived by his wife, Elizabeth (who was subsequently married to Timothy Winship), and the follow- ing-named children: (a) Franklin Blackman, born at Wilkes-Barre September 28, 1787. He was about three years old when his parents removed to Sheshequin, and there he continued to make his home until his death. He was a useful and an influential citizen. He was a Justice of the Peace for fifteen years, and held various offices in the State militia-attaining, ultimately, the rank of Colonel. In 1809 he was married to Sibyl (born October 6, 1788), daughter of David and Sibyl Beardsley, and they became the parents of ten children. Mrs. Sibyl (Beardsley) Blackman died December 19, 1864, and Colonel Blackman died August 14, 1880. (b) Elisha Blackman (commonly known for the greater part of his life as "Elisha Blackman, 2d") was born at Sheshequin, in what is now Bradford County, Pennsylvania, December 15, 1791. About 1812 or '13 he removed from Sheshequin to Wilkes-Barre Township, and July 14, 1814, was married (1st) to Mary, daughter of Miner Searle of Pittston. They settled in that part of Wilkes-Barre which is now Plains Township, and as early as 1821 Elisha Black. man was keeping hotel on the hill now covered by the village of Plains. Some years later he removed to what is now the city of Pittston. He became a member of Lodge No. 61, F. and A. M., Wilkes-Barre, March 5, 1821, and in 1822 and '23 was a member of the "Mark Masters' Lodge" held under the author-

" I do certify that I was in the battle of Wyoming, fought on the 3d day of July. 1778, and that I am well acquainted with the facts as they took place on that day, and subsequently. I have read the account published in the National Gazette of the 6th inst., and know that most of the circumstances related, and especially the material ones, are absolutely false. I have also read the letter of Lord Butler, Esq., relating to the bat- tle, and from personal knowledge, as well as from information obtained at the time, know the facts there stated concerning it, to be correct. I was on the left wing and know that that wing retreated first. I heard Col. Zebulon Butler advise not to go forward that day, but to wait for information and succours. I came into the fort at Kingston from the battle with Colonel Butler, and there were but four or five others with him. I served under Colonel Zebulon Butler in Washington's army, and never heard, until I saw the account in the Gazette, either his courage or capacity in the least questioned. On the contrary, his character as an officer always stood high. "December 26, 1820.

ity of the warrant of Lodge No. 61. He was one of the original members, and the first Secretary, of St. John's Lodge, No. 288, F. and A. M., constituted at Pittston April 17, 1848. Mrs. Mary (Searle) Black- man having died, Elisha Blackman was married (3d) in 1825 to Philena, daughter of William Searle of Pittston; and upon her death at Providence, Luzerne County, December 8, 1883, he was married (3d) in 1836 to Sarah (born in 1796), daughter of Eleazar Atherton of Lackawanna Township, Lu- zerne County, who was one of the earliest settlers in the Lackawanna Valley. Mrs. Sarah (Atherton) Blackman died at Waverly (formerly Abington Center), Luzerne County, November 10, 1858, and some time later Elisha Blackman was married (for the fourth and last time) to Mrs. Myra G. Rey- nolds. Elisha Blackman died October 17, 1881, in the ninetieth year of his age. He was the father of the following-named children: (1) Miner Searle, born August 14, 1815; married in 1848 to Ann Elizabeth Drake of Wilkes-Barre; died May 26, 1848. (See a subsequent chapter for a sketch of his life.) (8) Frances Searle, born April 20, 1817; married in 1848 to Dr. Avery Knapp of Pittston (born May 25, 1815; died October 4, 1896). She died in March, 1882. (3) Charles R., born March 28, 1819. (4) Harvey C., born September 88, 1821. (5) Cornelius Searle, born January 12, 1886. (6) Mary H., born August 26, 1827. (7) Elisabeth F., born February 6, 1831. (8) Thomas Atherton, born April 28, 1888. (c) David S. Blackman, third and youngest child of Ichabod and Elizabeth (Franklin) Blackman, was born at Sheshequin June 14, 1794, and became a Methodist minister. He was married to Lydia, daughter of Elijah M. Horton. He died September 5, 1828, and was survived by his wife and six children.

(v) Eleazar Blackman, youngest child of Elisha and Lucy (Polley) Blackman, was born in Leb- anon, Connecticut, May 31, 1765, and was consequently eight years old when he came with his par- ents to Wilkes-Barre. In the Spring of 1778, as a boy of thirteen, he aided in strengthening the defenses of Fort Wilkes-Barre-by hauling logs with an ox-team, and digging in the trenches. After the battle of July 3d he fled from the Valley with his mother, sisters and brother, as previously related, and proceeded to Lebanon, Connecticut, where he remained until his return to Wilkes-Barre in 1786. Eleazar Blackman was married October 7, 1786, at Wilkes-Barre, to Clorinda (born Feb- ruary 14, 1769), daughter of John Hyde, originally of New London County, Connecticut, but then an inhabitant of Wilkes-Barre, residing on Lot No. 29 of the "Second Division" of the township. (Some years later he removed to Hanover Township.)

Eleazar Blackman settled in Wilkes-Barre. "In the progress of the settlement and opening up of the country he mingled actively in the business of life, held public stations-both civil and military- and during his entire life enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him." In 1788 he was a private in the "Troop of Light Dragoons" raised and commanded by Capt. John Paul Schott. In 1790 he was a private in the company of Light Infantry (commanded by his brother, Lieut. Elisha Black- man, Jr.) attached to the "ist Regiment of Militia in Luzerne County," commanded by Lieut. Col. Matthias Hollenback. In September, 1800, he was elected and commissioned Captain of the "First Troop of Horse," 2d Brigade, 8th Division, Pennsylvania Militia. This position he held for a num- ber of years, and in 1812 he attained the rank of Major in the militia. From 1801 till 1808 he was one of the Commissioners of Luzerne County; and from 1808 till 1810 Treasurer of the County. He was made a Free Mason in Lodge No. 61, F. and A. M., Wilkes-Barre, November 2, 1795, and was Secretary of the Lodge in 1797, Senior Warden in 1798, '99, 1800, '01, '02, '03, '13, '14, '15 and '16, Treasurer in 1806, and Worshipful Master in 1804 and 1809. In 1822 and '28 he was a member of the "Mark Masters' Lodge" working under the authority of the Warrant of Lodge No. 61.

Major Blackman, for many years prior to his death, lived on his farm in Wilkes-Barre near the Hanover Township line and not far from the foot of the mountain. Prior to 1830 he opened up a "coal-bed" on this farm, and thenceforward, for a number of years, he carried on in a small way the business of coal-mining in addition to his farming operations. In time this coal-bed became known as the "Blackman Mine," and years later-when the operations had become more extensive-the mine was known as the "Franklin." (See its location on the map facing page 456, Vol. I.) Major Black- man died at his home September 10, 1843, and was buried two days later with the honors of Free Masonry-a large number of the Brethren of the Craft being in attendance at the funeral. Mrs. Clorinda (Hyde) Blackman died December 26, 1829. The children of Maj. Eleazar and Clorinda (Hyde) Blackman were all born in the township of Wilkes-Barre, and their names were as follows: (i) Lucy, born March 4, 1788; married at Wilkes-Barre March 17, 1806, to Shepard Sterne. (ii) Lucretia, born August 22, 1789; died February 10, 1790. (iii) Minerva, born December 30, 1790; married at Wilkes-Barre July 28, 1811, to Calvin Edwards, a tailor. (iv) Melinda, born May 4, 1793; married at Wilkes-Barre October 7, 1812, by William Ross, Esq., to Daniel Collings (a sketch of whose life will be found in a subsequent chapter); she died in Wilkes-Barre March 28, 1861. (v) Amanda, born February 87, 1795; married to 'Thomas Gray; died in March, 1861. (vi) Hiram, born March 27, 1801; died August 7, 1822. (vii) Clorinda, born March 4, 1808; died December 24, 1805. (viii) Eleasar, born March 25, 1806. (ix) Julia, born September 4, 1808; married to Edward Jones, a native of Wales, who died about 1850, survived by his wife, one son and two daughters. Mrs. Julia (Blackman) Jones died October 22, 1889. (x) Lovina, born March 4, 1811; married at Beaver Mead- ows, Carbon County, Pennsylvania, April 19, 1837, by the Rev. Roger Moister to Richard Jones (born March 20, 1816), a brother of Edward Jones, mentioned above. Richard Jones died at Wilkes-Barre January 17, 1874, and his widow-survived by one son and one daughter-died here April 5, 1894.

. RUEUS BENNETT was born in New England in 1760. The names of his parents are not known, but it is probable that he was a brother or a son of Isaac Bennett who died in Newport Township, Luzerne County, July 28, 1809, aged seventy-six years. Rufus Bennett was administrator of Isaac's estate. On the tax-lists of Hanover District (which included Newport Township) the name Isaac Bennett, Jr., appears in 1776, '77 and '78. He was dead in 1787, and had left children: Isaac, Lois (wife of Moses Brown) and Susanna (wife of Elias Green). The Isaac last mentioned may have been the Isaac who died in July, 1809, and the father of Rufus.

Rufus Bennett was a private in Capt. Samuel Ransom's Wyoming company in the Continental ser-

"I was in the battle of Wyoming, July 3d, 1778, and am acquainted with the cir- cuinstances attending it. I can assert that Col. Zebulon Butler had not the command of the whole colony, but that he was requested to take the command of the militia who were collected, and lead them on to battle. I know that Col. Zebulon Butler was not a cousin of Col. John Butler, the commander of the enemy's forces, for. I have heard them both say so. I know Col. Zebulon Butler was not drawn out of the fort by the lavish promises of the enemy. He did not march out to a parley, but went to meet the enemy for the purpose of fighting them. He had with him between 300 and 400 men, all that were col- lected in the fort. Colonel Butler's opinion was that it would be better to delay and not fight that day. His reasons I do not know particularly.

"No flag appeared to entice Zebulon Butler and his men into an ambush. We marched out between the Kingston Fort and the Wintermute's Fort, so called, and formed a line in a secure place, without danger of being surrounded, and were there to have waited for the British and Indians. But the men, seeing the smoke rise from a burning house, and having their feelings much excited, were determined to press forward. Pre- vious to this our advance guard had fired upon some Indians. We then marched up and attacked the enemy, who were also formed in a line. I was on the right wing when the battle commenced, and supposed we were beating the enemy, until the firing ceased on the left, and the confusion and retreat began.

"Colonel Denison did not attempt to defend the fort in Kingston-there was not a gun fired from it to my knowledge-nor did the enemy burn the women and children either at Kingston or at Wilkesbarre. I knew Colonel Butler from the year 1769 till the time of his death. I was an officer in his regiment and served under his command in the militia before the war, as well as in the Continental army, and never heard his patriotism, courage or capacity questioned in any way whatever.

In 1824 there was published the "Military Journal" of James Thacher, M. D., of Massachusetts, who had been a surgeon in the Amer- ican army during the Revolutionary War. This book was widely read, and in 1827 a second edition was published. On page 141 of the book we find these paragraphs :

"Highlands [on the Hudson], August 3, 1778. I am now to notice one of the most dreadful instances of perfidious savage cruelty that can perhaps be found on the records of history. However incredible the particulars may appear, they are found in various publications, and received as indubitable facts. Nor would I tarnish a page with the diabolical transaction till the detailed account has been incontrovertibly established. * * * Wyoming consisted of eight townships, containing 1,000 families; and such was the zeal with which they espoused the cause of America, that they voluntarily raised about 1,000 soldiers for the Continental army. * * *

. "About the 1st of July last the ferocious enemy, consisting of 1,600 Tories, Indians and half-blooded Englishmen, approached the settlement. This motley combination was commanded by Col. John Butler, a Tory refugee, and others, no less inhuman and

vice, and continued in the service under Captain Spalding upon the consolidation of the two Wyo- ming companies. He was one of those who came home from "the front" (as mentioned on page 978) to assist in defending Wyoming against the enemy. After the battle he joined Captain Spalding, and undoubtedly served with him until the end of the war. After the war he settled in Hanover Town- ship, where, about 1783 or '84 he was married to Martha Bennett (born in 1763), daughter of Ishmael Bennett of Hanover by his first wife.

Ishmael Bennett, mentioned above, was, so far as known, not related by blood to Rufus Bennett. Ile was born in Rhode Island about 1730; removed to Connecticut, and came to Wyoming about 1773 with his three children-his wife being dead. He settled in Pittston, and, with his children, was in the Pittston fort at the time of the battle of Wyoming. About 1788 Ishmael Bennett-then living in Wilkes-Barre-was married (2d) to Abigail (Beers) Weeks, widow of Philip Weeks of Wilkes-Barre, and about 1788 they removed to Hanover Township. About 1816 Ishmael Bennett removed to the State of Ohio, where he died at the age of 104 years. His children by his first wife were: (i) Ishmael, born in 1760; came to Wyoming with his father; some years subsequently to the battle of Wyoming he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Constant Searle and widow of Capt. Dethick Hewitt; settled in Pittston Township, where he died August 29, 1844, at the age of eighty-four years. (ii) Martha, born in 1763; married to Rufus Bennett, as previously noted. (iii) Thomas, born in 1765; married to Mary Ann Espy. The children of Ishmael Bennett, Sr., by his second wife were: (iv) Daniel, born in 1784. (v) Josiah, born in 1786; married to Sarah Taylor; died in 1857. (vi) Nathan, born in 1788; died in 1872. (vii) Polly, born in 1789; died in 1831. (viii) Sarah, born in 1791; died in 1881.

Rufus and Martha (Bennett) Bennett were the parents of three daughters and six sons. Rufus Bennett died April 21, 1842, at the home of one of his sons in the hamlet of Woodville, just below the then borough of Wilkes-Barre, and his widow died there in 1858. On April 22, 1842, a meeting of the citizen-soldiers of Wilkes-Barre was held at Dennis' Hotel, to take into consideration measures for paying proper respect to the remains of Rufus Bennett. Gen. William S. Ross presided, and the fol- lowing minute was adopted: "Rufus Bennett sleeps with his fathers! The Continental soldier and the border warrior-the staunch foeman of the foreign tyrant and the ruthless savage-has closed his earthly career among the scenes consecrated by the blood of his compatriots and endeared by the rec- ollection of his own gallant participation in the memorable struggle for Wyoming. As Americans, and citizens of this Valley, we are anxious to testify our respect for the memory of the veteran soldier who periled life and limb in the war of liberty." The funeral of Rufus Bennett took place on April 23d. There was an unusually large number of people in attendance, and the procession to the grave- yard was headed by a detachment of "Citizen Volunteers," with music, under the command of Gen. William S. Ross. Gen. Isaac Bowman was Chief Marshal of the procession.
