John Mosier, grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, was born November 10, 1785, near Easton. Pennsylvania, and married Sarah Overfield, born November 22, 1791, daugh- ter of Martin and Sarah (Ott) Overfield. Paul Overfield, grandfather of Sarah (Overfield) Mosier, and maternal great- great-grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, born in North Germany in 1715, came when a child with his parents from the fatherland to New Jersey, and married Rebecca Mar- shall. His children were: Abner; Benja- min; Martin (married Elizabeth Ott) ; Sarah (married Lieutenant Moses Van Campen) ; Rachel (married Joseph Pen-

nell) ; Paul (married Hannah DePue) ; William, and Elizabeth (married Edward Marshall). Paul Overfield, great-great- grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, died in 1800.
Martin Overfield, father of Sarah (Over- field) Mosier, and maternal great-grand- father of Frank C. Mosier, was born in 1756, and married Sarah Ott, born Novem- ber 24, 1749. Martin Overfield was in the Revolution in 1780-81-82, in the Fifth Com- pany, Fifth Battalion of militia of North- ampton county, Pennsylvania. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781, and the dis- banding of Washington's army at New- burg on the Hudson, Martin Overfield was mustered out of service and settled in the backwoods of Monroe county, Pennsyl- vania, and commenced to help clear up the primeval forest. He died on his farm in Middle Smithfield township, on May 25, 1821, and on his tombstone is the follow- ing: "A soldier of the Revolution under General Washington."
Sarah (Ott) Overfield, mother of Sarah (Overfield) Mosier, and maternal great- grandmother of Frank C. Mosier, died Feb- ruary 29, 1848, and sleeps by the side of her husband, whom she survived more than a quarter of a century. Hon. William Over- field, son of Martin and Sarah (Ott) Over- field, became prominent in public life, and represented Monroe, Pike and Wayne coun- ties in the House of Representatives and Senate of Pennsylvania, and filled other offices with honor, a faithful and honest servant of the people.
The land whereon is located Sand Hill Cemetery, was donated to the same by John Mosier, who passed away on the 7th of May, 1855, respected by all his neighbors, many of whom now repose with him within the shade of the beautiful cemetery, which will forever remain an enduring monument to his liberality.
Sarah (Overfield) Mosier died August 14, 1888, in the home she had lived in con-
tinuously for nearly four-score years. The Mosier homestead is now occupied by her son, Samuel Overfield Mosier, who bids fair to pass the century mark.
Daniel Dimmick Mosier, son of John Mosier and Sarah (Overfield) Mosier, and father of Frank C. Mosier, was born in Middle Smithfield township, Monroe county, Pennsylvania, August 22, 1816, and when about sixteen years old came to the Wy- oming Valley. Through the influence of his uncle, Hon. William Overfield, canal com- missioner of Pennsylvania, he obtained a position on the North Branch of the Penn- sylvania Canal. He was employed by the State on the North Branch Canal a number of years, which gave him a good start in life, for he was enabled to purchase from John M. Stark a large farm in Pittston township, from which hundreds of thou- sands of tons of anthracite coal have been mined. This valuable property is still own- ed by the Mosier family, and under lease with the Erie Railroad Company, successors of the Pennsylvania Coal Company.
Daniel Dimmick Mosier was married, January 2, 1842, to Elizabeth Ann Ward, of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, mother of Frank C. Mosier, was the daughter of Victor Ward and Anna (Mills) Ward.
Thomas Ward, paternal grandfather of Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, and ma- ternal great-grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, was of English ancestry, and emi- grated to America and settled in Connecti- cut previous to the Revolutionary War, and married Anna Wakely. He enlisted in Cap- tain Samuel Wright's company of Colonel Samuel Wyllys' regiment, December 2, 1775, and took part in the siege of Boston. This command, previously General Spen- cer's, was reorganized for service in 1776 as the 22nd Connecticut Regiment of the Con- tinental Line. After the evacuation of Bos- ton by the British, it marched under Wash- ington to New York and helped fortify New York City. On August 24 it was
746
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
ordered to the Brooklyn front, and took part in the battle of Long Island, August 27, and was in the retreat of the American army across the East River on the evening of Au- gust 29. At White Plains it was in line of battle on October 27-28 to oppose the ad- vance of the British forces under General William Howe. After the retreat of the British from White Plains, his command remained encamped in the vicinity of Peeks- kill, under Major-General Heath, until the expiration of terms of service, December 30, 1776. (Record of Conn. Men in Revolu- tion, p. 107). Thomas Ward applied for a pension September 28, 1818, which was allowed. Soldier died at Glastonbury, Con- necticut, October 5, 1824. (Ref .- Hartford County, Conn., Pension Roll, p. 45).
Victor Ward, father of Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, and grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, was a son of Thomas Ward and Anna (Wakely) Ward, and was born in Trumbull, Fairfield county, Connecticut. He married Anna Mills, daughter of Rob- ert Mills and Desire (Robertson) Mills, a daughter of Jonathan Robertson.
Jonathan Robertson, maternal great- grandfather of Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, and great-great-grandfather of Frank C. Mosier, was of Scotch ancestry, and settled in Weston, Fairfield county, Connecticut, at an early date, and on April 14. 1759, enlisted in Captain Samuel Hub- bell's 5th Company of Colonel David Wooster's 3rd Connecticut Colonial Regi- ment. (See Conn. Colonial Record, French- Indian Wars, 1758-1762, p. 151). His regi- ment took part in the campaign of 1759 under General Amherst, which began with the capture of Fort Ticonderoga and closed with the battle of Quebec, September 13, 1759, which was a glorious victory for Brit- ish arms, for it added a vast territory to the Mother Country's possessions in North America, and made the name of Wolfe, who fell at the head of his troops, renowned forever in the annals of Time.
Robert Mills, maternal grandfather of
Elizabeth (Ward) Mosier and great-grand- father of Frank C. Mosier, was of English ancestry, and married Desire Robertson, daughter of Jonathan Robertson, of Wes- ton, Fairfield county, Connecticut. Desire (Robertson) Mills, daughter of Jonathan Robertson, and grandmother of Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, survived her husband, Robert Mills, a number of years, and is buried in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Eliza- beth Robertson, sister of Desire ( Robert- son ) Mills, in 1782, was married to Thomas Williams, who came with his father, Thad- deus Williams, to the Wyoming Valley, previous to the Revolutionary War. About January 1, 1777, Thomas Williams enlisted in Captain Samuel Ransom's 2nd Independ- ent Company ( recruited by authority of the Continental Congress in the Wyoming Val- ley) of Colonel Durkee's 4th Connecticut Regiment, which fought under Washing- ton at Princeton, and upon other battlefields of the Revolution. Thomas Williams be- came a non-commissioned officer, was a courageous soldier and brave Indian fighter. The name of Sergeant Williams is often mentioned in the annals of the Wyoming Valley. He died November 12, 1839, and is buried in Hollenback Cemetery.
In our country's second conflict with Great Britain, the Connecticut military rec- ords show that Victor Ward was a soldier in the War of 1812 and was in active service in 1814, when the towns bordering on Long Island Sound were threatened with attack by a combined British land and naval force. He died at Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1827.
Anna (Mills) Ward, mother of Eliza- beth Ann (Ward) Mosier, died in Plains township, Luzerne county, in 1834, and was buried in the Hollenback family burying ground. In after years her remains were removed to the cemetery founded by George M. Hollenback, a son of Mathias Hollen- back, who was an ensign in Captain Ran- som's 2nd Independent Company of Colonel Durkee's 4th Connecticut Regiment, and who returned to his home in time to take

part in the battle of Wyoming, fought July John D. Stark was born April 26, 1797, and 3, 1778.
Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier, mother of Frank C. Mosier, of Scotch and English ancestry, was born in Trumbull, Fairfield county, Connecticut, November 27, 1821. After the death of her father she came from Bridgeport, Connecticut, to Plains township, about the year 1829, with her mother and grandmother, Desire (Robert- son) Mills, and became neighbors of her great-uncle, Sergeant Thomas Williams, and her mother's brother, David Mills, for- merly of Bridgeport, Connecticut, who was the owner of a large farm from which was mined in after years millions of tons of coal. Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier became well acquainted with Sergeant Williams, who often entertained her with stories of his many fights with the British Tories and Indians. She was a continuous resident of the Wyoming Valley for more than four- score years. When very young she became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she always was a faithful and charitable worker. In the War for the Union, her only brother, Joseph S. Ward, fought in the 7th and 12th Regiments, Con- necticut Volunteers. John Ward, a son of Joseph S. Ward, also served his country in the 9th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers. Both survived the Civil War, and after the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox, each returned to his home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and became members of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Daniel Dimmick Mosier died May 14, 1889, and Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier died March 6, 1909, and both sleep in the Mosier plot in Hollenback Cemetery. Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The follow- ing children were born to Daniel Dimmick Mosier and Elizabeth Ann (Ward) Mosier : Georgia Mosier (daughter), born October 18, 1842, October 31, 1865, was married to Conrad Sax Stark, born April 12, 1836, a son of John D. Stark and Ann (Sax) Stark.
was a grandson of Aaron Stark, who was slain in the battle of Wyoming, July 3, 1778. John D. Stark, on February 22, 1828, was married to Ann Sax, born February 15, 1803, died November 25, 1855.
John D. Stark became a prominent citizen of Pittston township. The last days of his life were spent on his farm located upon the banks of Spring Brook, where its waters commingle with the Lackawanna. His life was one of industry and usefulness. He died June 21, 1862, and is buried in the Stark family plot in Marcy Cemetery, Lu- zerne county, near the Brick Church, which was erected in 1853. Many soldiers of the Revolutionary and other wars repose in Marcy Cemetery. The first interments therein were made previous to the year 1790. The date of the death of Ebenezer Marcy is marked upon his tombstone (March 20, 1790), at which early time there were more than one hundred unmarked graves in this burying ground. Marcy township, Luzerne county, was named after Ebenezer Marcy.
Conrad S. Stark graduated at Union Col- lege, Schenectady, New York, in 1860. He was offered and accepted a professorship in the Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Penn- sylvania, during 1860-61, after which he studied law with Hon. W. G. Ward, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the Luzerne bar, November 30, 1864. He died at his home in West Pittston, Pennsyl- vania, March 26, 1880, in the strength and vigor of manhood, a leading member of his profession. At a meeting of the Luzerne county bar held March 27, 1880, the chair- man of the meeting, Hon. Charles E. Rice, now President Judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the deceased.
Georgia (Mosier) Stark died in the State of Florida, where she was temporarily re- siding, July 14, 1896. She was a sincere friend and an affectionate sister and mother,

and was beloved by all who knew her. Con- rad Sax Stark and Georgia (Mosier) Stark are buried in Hollenback Cemetery.
John B. Mosier (son) was born in Pitts- ton township, August 9, 1844, on his father's farm, which was cleared up by David Brown, shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War. (See Bigsby's "His- tory of Luzerne County," p. 617; Hayden's "Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Penn- sylvania," p. 168). He never married, was successful in business, and accumulated a large estate. At the time of his death, Sep- tember 27, 1889, he was a member of St. John's Lodge, F. and A. M., Pittston, Penn- sylvania; Pittston Chapter, R. A. M., and a Sir Knight of Wyoming Valley Com- mandery, Knights Templar, Pittston, Penn- sylvania. He is buried in Hollenback Ceme- tery.
Frank C. Mosier (son) was born Octo- ber 8, 1846 (of whom further mention is hereafter made).
James H. Mosier (son) married Fannie Field. He is engaged in the real estate and general insurance business, Pittston, Penn- sylvania. He is a member of Wyoming Valley Lodge, F. and A. M., Pittston, Penn- sylvania : Pittston Chapter, R. A. M .; Wy- oming Valley Commandery, K. T., Pittston, Pennsylvania (of which he is a past commander) ; Lu Lu Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. (Mystic Shrine), Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania; and Keystone Consistory, S. P. R. S., 32d degree, Scranton, Pennsylvania, A. A. S. R. Helen Mosier, his daughter, is a member of Dial Rock Chapter. Daughters of the American Revolution, West Pittston, Pennsylvania.
Frank C. Mosier's birthplace was in Pitts- ton township, on his father's farm, where he was brought up, working in the fields, fishing in the mountain streams, hunting in the nearby woods, and attending district school in winter. During these halcyon days came the Civil War, and the rolling of drums, waving of flags, and marching of
soldiers to the front, inspired the heart of every true patriot and lover of his country. In September, 1862, Lee, with a mighty host, came up along the Blue Ridge from Virginia with bayonets flashing, the stars and bars flying, and martial bands playing, "Maryland, My Maryland." It was then he enlisted in Captain Hileman's company, 19th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and went to the front, where thousands of patriotic men under Major-General John F. Reynolds, stood ready to repel the rebel in- vader if the Army of the Potomac met with defeat upon the soil of Maryland, where was fought the battle of Antietam, one of the most sanguinary in the history of the Civil War.
Returning home from the Antietam cam- paign, he attended Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania, and subsequently obtained a position with the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company of Scranton, Penn- sylvania, where he remained until he enter- ed the University of Michigan. After com- pleting his studies at Ann Arbor, he became a student in the law office of Hon. Fitz Wil- liam H. Chambers, of Detroit, an ex-mem- ber of the Canadian Parliament, and later on judge of the circuit court of Wayne county, Michigan. After being admitted to the Detroit bar he returned east and studied law with Conrad S. Stark, Esq., and was admitted to the Luzerne bar, February 26, 1874, and still practices his profession in the Federal Court and in the Supreme, Superior and other courts of Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, March 4, 1891, Frank C. Mosier was married, by the Rev. John La- Bar, to Lydia Ellen Stark, daughter of John M. Stark and Sarah (Davidson) Stark, of Wyoming, Pennsylvania.
Christopher Stark, son of William Stark, and great-great-great-grandfather of Lydia (Stark) Mosier, came of English ancestry, and was born at Groton, Connecticut, in 1698. On April 1, 1722, he married Joanna Walworth, of New London, Connecticut. He subsequently removed to Dutchess coun-
749

ty, New York, and from thence, in 1772, to the Wyoming Valley, where he became an extensive landowner. A number of chil- dren were born to Christopher Stark and Joanna (Walworth) Stark, only two of whom, James Stark and Aaron Stark, we make mention of in this sketch.
James Stark, son of Christopher Stark, and great-great-grandfather of Lydia (Stark) Mosier, was born May 22, 1734. In 1758 he married Elizabeth Carey, of Dutchess county, New York. James Stark enlisted September 17, 1776, in Captain Ranson's 2nd Independent Company of Colonel John Durkee's 4th Connecticut Regiment of the Continental army, and fought under Washington. While in his country's service he contracted a disease which caused his death, July 20, 1777. His elder brother, Aaron Stark, born November 3. 1732, was slain in the massacre of July 3. 1778, and his name, with that of Daniel Stark, is inscribed on the Wyoming Battle Monument.
Henry Stark, son of James Stark, and great-grandfather of Lydia (Stark) Mosier, was born April 19, 1762, and married Eliz- abeth Kennedy, November 3, 1791, and died January 22, 1807.
James Stark, son of Henry Stark, and grandfather of Lydia (Stark) Mosier, was born April 24, 1792, and married Mary Michael, of Monroe county, Pennsylvania, April 19. 1819. James Stark served as a soldier in the war of 1812. (See Hayden's "Genealogical and Family History of the Wyoming and Lackawanna Valleys, Penn- sylvania," vol. I, p. 540). James Stark be- came one of the most prominent business men of his time. He accumulated a large landed estate, which represented hundreds of acres of anthracite coal worth millions of money. This valuable property at his death was devised to his family, the children of some of whom still live to enjoy the patrimony of a grandparent who prospered. became wealthy, and left a record for hon- esty, industry and thrift to his descendants,
which is worthy of emulation. James Stark died February 3, 1856, and now reposes in Hollenback Cemetery.
John M. Stark, father of Lydia (Stark) Mosier, was born in Plains township, Lu- zerne county, Pennsylvania, February 23, 1819, and on October 16, 1841, was married to Sarah Davidson, daughter of Morris Davidson and Ann Davidson, both natives of Sussex county, New Jersey. Ann David- son, mother of Sarah (Davidson) Stark, was related to the Morgan family of New Jersey, one of whose kinsmen was General Daniel Morgan, of Virginia, a comrade in arms of Washington in the Colonial and Revolutionary wars.
John M. Stark was a man of prominence, noted for his firmness, integrity, self-reli- ance and industry. For a number of years he was superintendent of one of the divi- sions of the North Branch of the Pennsyl- vania Canal. This position he resigned to accept a more responsible one with the Pennsylvania Coal Company, of which John B. Smith, of Dunmore, Pennsylvania, was general manager, and between these two men of the old school ties of friendship ex- isted long after John M. Stark retired from the employ of the great coal company, which will always remain an enduring monument to the management and executive ability of John B. Smith, one of the best known pio- neer coal men of northeastern Pennsylvania.
During John M. Stark's active life he made careful investments in arthracite coal lands, and the rentals therefrom enabled him before his death to make a large dis- tribution of his property among his children.
John M. Stark was proud of the record of his family, for a forefather fought under Washington in the War of the Revolution, and the name of a kinsman, Aaron Stark, is inscribed on the Wyoming Battle Monu- ment, over the immortal words: "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." (See Brads- by's "History of Luzerne County," p. 121).
During all the wars of the American Re- public, the Stark family have maintained a

record for patriotism, not often excelled. General John Stark, of New Hampshire, a name famous in the annals of the Revolu- tion, who commanded a brigade at Bunker Hill, fought under Washington at Trenton and Princeton, heroically led the Green Mountain boys at Bennington, and achieved a providential victory for the American cause, came of the same English line of an- cestry as the Stark family of the Wyoming Valley. (See Hawthorne's "United States," vol. 2, pp. 512-17-22-31, etc .; Bradsby's "History of Luzerne County," p. 357).
In the armed conflict with Mexico which secured the acquisition of immense terri- tory to the American Union, his brother, George H. Stark, served as a sergeant in Captain Ogier's Company H, 4th Regiment Louisiana Volunteers, and on July 29, 1846, by order of General Taylor, was honorably discharged at Matamoras. On July 30, 1846, he reënlisted and became a non-com- missioned officer in Captain Blanchard's (Phoenix) company, - Regiment, Louisi- ana Volunteers, and by order of Major- General Scott was honorably discharged at New Orleans, May 15, 1847. On soldier's discharge the following is endorsed: "Said G. H. Stark participated in the storming of Monterey and also the bombardment of Vera Cruz, and acquitted himself gallantly in both engagements."
In the war inaugurated for the destruc- tion of the American Union, his son, George M. Stark, on August 21, 1862, enlisted in Schooley's Independent Battery, recruited in Pittston by Lieutenant U. S. Cook, for- merly principal of the Pittston high school. who prevailed upon many of his scholars to volunteer in defense of their country's flag. As soon as Schooley's command was mus- tered into service it was assigned to garrison duty at Fort Delaware, in the State of Dela- ware, where on October 17, 1862, the scholarly Cook died. After his death the battery was ordered to Washington, D. C., and became Battery M, 2nd Heavy Artil- lery, 112th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, and for a time remained on guard at Fort Lincoln. At midnight on May 3, 1864, the Army of the Potomac moved out of its winter cantonments on the Rapidan and be- gan its last campaign against the Army of Northern Virginia, strongly intrenched, ready for battle. The advance of Grant's troops against the positions held by the Con- federates under Lee was stubbornly contest- ed, and thousands of brave men were killed, wounded or burned up in the battles which raged for weeks in the Virginia wilderness, with a fierceness unparalleled in the annals of war. On May 27, 1864, the 2nd Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery was ordered to the Army of the Potomac. In the early dawn of June 5, 1864, the regiment rein- forced the Army of the Potomac at Cold Harbor, and was immediately formed in line of battle to charge the Confederate in- trenchments. After the repulse at Cold Harbor, the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Ar- tillery, on the night of June 12, 1864, under a ceaseless fire of musketry and artillery, silently moved out of the Union trenches to the road in the rear, when the command in a low voice passed along the line, "Double up, double-quick, march," which order was strictly obeyed until the White House Land- ing on the Pamunky river, twenty-two miles away, was reached. At the battle of the Crater, on the morning of July 30, 1864, the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery stood in line of battle ready for the order to charge into the bloody vortex of death, in which more than four thousand comrades fell. For seventy-two days this brave Pennsyl- vania regiment lay in the advance line of trenches, exposed to the incessant fire of the enemy day and night, enduring much suf- fering.
On September 29, 1864, occurred the bat- tle of Chapin's Farm, fought by a part of the Army of the James, under Major-Gen- eral Edward O. C. Ord, and was in reality a number of desperate charges against the intrenched and strongly fortified positions of the enemy. The first assault was direct-
751
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
ed against Battery Harrison, mounted with sixteen pieces of heavy artillery, which was successfully made. In this charge General Ord was wounded, and Brigadier-General Burnham, who led the storming columns, mortally wounded.
In the same chain of defenses on the right of Battery Harrison, was Fort Gilmer, the key to Richmond, which was next assaulted, first by two divisions of the 10th Corps, Army of the James, in succession.
After the battle of Chapin's Farm, George M. Stark was appointed orderly to Major- General Godfrey Weitzel (one of the great- est compliments to bestow upon a soldier ), commander of the 25th Army Corps, Army of the James, the first troops to enter Rich- mond after its capture by the Union army at whose head on the eventful 3rd day of April, 1865, rode Weitzel, his staff and young Stark.
With the surrender of the Army of North- ern Virginia, on April 9, 1865, the slave- holders' rebellion came to a righteous end. In the early summer of 1865 the surviving heroes of the 2nd Pennsylvania Heavy Ar- tillery, with battle flags riddled with shot and shell, returned to their homes and fire- sides, and with them came George M. Stark, who became one of the leading business men of the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania. He died July 27, 1895, at his summer home near Dallas, Pennsylvania, leaving surviving him his wife, Albertine Brace Stark. George M. Stark is buried in the historic Forty Fort Cemetery, near the site of the old fort, from which his Revolutionary kinsman, Aaron Stark, marched forth to battle and to death on the memorable 3rd day of July, 1778.
