| 109 | The Immigrant George Polsgrove arrived in Phildelphia, Pa., on Sept. 11, 1732 on the ship "Philadelphia". He was listed on the ship manifest as Jorg Palsgrove. He was a blacksmith by trade as was his father-in-law. He married, bought land from his father-iin-law, and all of his children were born in Philadelphia Co., Pa. George made a 2nd trip to Palentine, returning to Philadelphia from Rotterdam on the ship "St. Mark" Sept. 26, 1741, his name on the manifest was spelled George Pfaltzgraff. His name in Palentine was spelled Johan Jorg Pfaltzgraff, and also seen as Paltzgraf. Later spelling includes Pallsgrove, Palsgrove, Pollsgrove, Polsgrove and Pottsgrove. For the BEST & CORRECT information on the Pfaltzgraf/Polsgrove/Palsgrove family, visit John Bristol's web site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~polsgrove ALSACE-LORRAINE. "The fortunes of France's two old northeast provinces - Alsace and Lorraine have filled many pages of history. They lie along the boundary of France and Germany at the crossroads of trans-European travel. This positiond briniing them wealth and commerce, but it also placed then in the path of war and invasion. Their nationality shifted repeatedly as the great powers fought for possession of their fertile fields and rich resources. Today they compose one of France's most important industrial areas. Although the two provinces are often spoken of as a single territory, they are actually quite distict regions. Alsace starts as a gentle plain west of the Rhine. It rises to the western boundary in the Vosges. Lorraine lies to the west otream carved plateau that merges with the Paris Basin. Alsace was a part of Germany for several centuries but was given back to France in 1648 by the Treaty of Westphalia. In 1681 the French seized and retained Strasbourg, the chief city of the region." | Polsgrove, John George (I1492)

| 110 | The Pioneer [grayshouse3.FTW] Jacob Polsgrove (also spelled Palsgrove) was born 1748, confirmed 1766 at Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church, named in his father's will in 1757, a laborer by trade, on the tax lists of Philadelphia Co., Pa., 1779, 1780, 1781 and 1782. Served in thhe Revolutionary War, class 3 of Capt. Benjamin Markley's Company, Pennsylvania Militia, in 1781. Appears as Jacob Polsgrove with 5 other white souls in the 1784 census of Hampshire Co., Va. He last appears in the 1800 census of Scott Co., Ky., probably reaching Pendleton Co., Ky before 1810. He had three sons, Henry b. 1784, Jacob b. 1785 and George b. 1792. He also had three daughters, Margaret, Catherine and Mary. The daughters and first born son, Henry, were all born in Pennsylvania. Kentucky was originally a part of the western lands of Virginia. The oldest state west of the Appalachian Highlands, it has its first permanent settlement in 1775 - about a year before Daniel Boone brought his wife and teenage daughter to ln the town that was named after him, Boonesbourgh (now Boonesboro). During the next 15 years the population of the area grew to more than 73,000. In 1792, with the permission of Virginia, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the 15th state. | Polsgrove, Jacob (I1503)

| 111 | The records of Lula Leola Horton had Hannah Sabre Shark listed. Other family members have her listed as Hanna Sarah Sparks. We are changing our listing to reflect that name. We assume there was a misreading somewhere along the line. (Taken from the Sparks Quarterly-June 1987, VOL XXXV Whole NO. 138, page 3074 to about 3085.) Hannah Sparks, daughter of Abel and Sarah (Cochran) Sparks, was born on May 9, 1802, probably in North Carolina before the family moved to Tennessee. In the list of heirs of Solomon Sparks prepared in 1880, his sister, Hannah, was identified as being deceased, her married name having been Glenn. Her heirs (children and several grandchildren) in 1880 were identified as follows: a. William Carroll Glenn of Mifflin, Iowa County, Wisconsin. b. George W. Glenn, of Cory, Dade County, Missouri. c. Jonathan S. Glenn, or Cory, Dade County, Missouri. d. Nancy J. Glenn, married----Johnstone: of Cory, Dade County, Missouri. e. Sarah E. Glenn, married---Johnson: of Spring Valley, Madison County, Arkansas. f. Julia Ann Glenn, married----Harris. She had died before 1880 and her children were listed as (1) Mahalia Epperson; (2) Andrew Jackson Harris;(3) Elkana Delanah Pemberton Harris; (4) Jonathan S. Harris; and (5) Josephine Adkins. All were of Cory, Dade County, Missouri.. g. John B. E. Glenn, deceased. His children were identified as (1) James M. Glenn; and (2)Frances M. Glenn, both of Hineville, Madison County, Arkansas. h. Martha A. Glenn, deceased. She married ---Sullenger and had the following children; (1) J. M. Sullenger, and (2) J. C. Sullenger. Both were in Joplin, Missouri. i. James B. Glenn, deceased by 1880. He had one living son in 1880, George W. Glenn, Jr. of Cory, Dade County, Missouri. j. Taylor Glenn, deceased by 1880. According to the papers settling the estate of Solomon Sparks, Taylor Glenn's children " are supposed to somewhere in Kansas," but Mr. Clementson, the administrator of Solomon Sparks's estate, could not locate them. k. Louisa Jane Glenn, deceased by 1880. She had married ---Harris, and they had a daughter named Lucy Ann Harris who had also died by 1990.

| 112 | This is a letter from Elsie to Mary Kay Daniels, Aline's daughter. Dear Mary, After our conversation last week, I realized you are interested in the history of our family. I'm writing some of the episodes as I remember them. You may share this information with Aline and Eppie as to its accuracy. Perhaps they may have some input. Most of our family of nine were born in the old log house that Papa built. It was a two story. A lean-to, as it was called, was added for the kitchen. It had sort of a breezeway from the kitchen to the smokehouse. This was used for fire wood, crops, and our meat such as ham and bacon was smoked there. There was not one of us born in a hospital. There were midwives. Ours was Mrs. Barker. They would come and stay through the birth; a country doctor was called. Dr. Kyle or Dr. Higgins delivered most of us, I think. Those are the only names I ever heard mentioned. We had no electricity or water in the house. We carried water from the well or natural springs. We used these to cool our milk. Cream would rise to the top. We would skim the cream off and churn our butter. There were churns however; we mostly used a fruit jar by shaking it back and forth. The lamps used kerosene. This was another chore we had to do. Clean the globes and refill the lamps for the next evening. We washed our clothing and linens by washboard. When the weather permitted we would do this outside. Our white clothing was boiled in a large boiler. If we hung them outside in the winter they would freeze stiff. On Saturday a wash tub would be brought into the kitchen. We would all have our baths. Otherwise we would take a spit bath. There would be a bench outside on the porch with a wash pan. The men could wash up there before coming inside to eat. Our main meal at noon we called dinner. The men needed a larger meal to keep up their strength. The evening meal we called supper. Most of the time we would have corn bread and milk, with onion and bacon, still my favorite. We had lots of dried beans, which I have never tired of to this day. We always had to go outside to the toilet. We had Sear's catalog or newspaper, never hearing of toilet paper. Papa and Mama were members of the Holiness Nazarene Church. We went to Church & Sunday school always, unless the weather didn't permit. When the Preacher prayed everyone knelt on their knees. This was our practice at home. We never ate a meal that thanks wasn't given to the Lord for our food. After breakfast we returned to the living room and we knelt again and Papa or Mama would pray for the sick and ask that he would guide us safe through the day. It was the same before going to bed. After Mama passed away, it seemed the church members didn't support Papa as they should. He sorta dropped out. However, he never gave up his Bible. He could quote scripture with the best. The Bible was Papa's favorite book. Papa and Mama tithed, as little as they had. The country stores available to us were Sybert and Glenn Town. The store was owned by Glenn's. A Glenn on the North, South, East and West, thus the name. Our only transportation was horseback, buggy and wagon. Or shanks pony (as they called walking). There was a Mill at Sybert on Sax River. Papa would take his corn there and the corn meal was made. When he had extra corn it was traded for flour. He also grew sugar cane. We had a mill. We children would drive the horse around that turned the Mill. The juice would run off. This would have to be cooked the same day. Sometimes Papa would work into the night before it would boil down to molasses. They were the best. We always had biscuits for breakfast. On occasion we might get to go with Papa to Greenfield to take produce. Once when I went with him he took me to the beanery for lunch. Family style, we sat at a table with other farmers. We lived off whatever the land produced. There would be basket dinners in the summer time after church. There would be tablecloths spread on the ground. All the food was put together. We would eat, play and visit. There would be ice cream socials in the summer at Glenntown. We would have soda pop as well as cookies. There would be pie suppers held at the school on Friday nights. Pies would be auctioned off to the boys. They would try to find out whose pie to bid on so they could eat with the girl of their choice. We played some basketball in school. Leola was a good forward. We wore bloomers that were made from flour sacks. Bleached of course. Sometimes someone would yell out Pilsbury or Globe! They didn't always bleach out. We also had a game we called ante over. We would throw a rubber ball over the house to be caught on the other side. Again it could be hide and seek. You can see by now we had to make our own entertainment. Letha had left her organ with us. We played chords - sang from the songbooks we had. We didn't have a radio. Very few telephones - we didn't have one. When we lived at the Metcalf place we were quite isolated. Once in a while a salesman or drummer would get lost and come our way. One such day one came our way. The man's business was restoring old photographs. If Esther & Leola were home they had gone somewhere. I was the oldest one there. I can see us now. I think I was holding Eppie and the twins were huddled on each side of me. We didn't have many chairs. The salesman was well groomed and good looking. I think I might have become intimated by him and felt we had to give him some business. We found an old photo of Papa and Mama. He thought it would restore nicely. He thought I was the mother of Irene, Eppie and Aline. I guess he thought I was one of those mountain child brides. A few weeks later he returned with the picture. I ran and hid. I could hear Papa at the door explaining he didn't have any money etc. They walked outside and Papa ended up giving him a pig in payment. This is the picture Eppie has today. We all felt she should have it. A long time after Mama died, Papa didn't want to see a picture of her, it was too painful. I believe Papa mourned her death until the day he passed away. Our education was limited. Eight grades were taught in the same room. Again, to go to the toilet we had to raise our hand with two fingers up to get permission. Letha taught Crisp School in Cedar County after 3 years of high School. World War one was here and there was a shortage of teachers. The boys would be taken out of school at about 6th grade to help with crops. Then in the fall harvest time they were needed. Most never finished more than the 7th grade. Letha and Tommy were married after her 18th birthday and came to California Sept. 1919. Papa built us a new house not far from the old log house. We were all elated. We could finally leave the old log house. We were still moving chicken and stock to the new location. This was Feb. 1921. Papa, George Glenn, (Papas' half brother) Esther, Leola and I were going back to the old place for the last load of chickens. It was a windy nite. We heard Mama call out "Wes, Wes, we started back and could see the problem. Not much could be saved. They did manage to get a few pictures - the organ and the new stove that was Mama's pride and joy. The house burned to the ground. There were empty houses around. However, by late summer we were back in the old log house where Eppie was born Christmas eve 1921. Mama passed away Jan.10th 1922. She had not been well all summer. She had kidney failure. I think they called it dropsy at that time. I don't believe Eppie had been named until that time. Seems like Papa said, "that settles it". We have always regretted Eppie not knowiing Mama. George was not living at home then, however some one went for him. John Shaw came to Shaw School for Leola, the twins and me. Mama called each child to her bed. She had a special message for each of us. She wanted us to be good childreen and meet her in heaven. Then she just slipped away. Papa vowed he would never leave his children. When people wanted to take one of us, he would always had the same commet, " I don't have a child to spare". Papa was broken hearted. He suffered more than any of us over our loss. A lot of men just left their children. We were all close to Papa. I wonder even yet how he survived. We have some comfort in the fact that when we grew up and became financially able we shared with him. George was married 1922. Ruby was the eldest at home. She had dropped out of school about the 6th grade I think. Ruby had full responsibility for Eppie's care. She bathed and dressed Eppie so nice. A family by the name of Benton Wilson and his wife had lost a baby. They were millionaires. They asked their housekeeper if she knew anyone who could use their baby clothes. They were all sent to Eppie. Nice dresses, gowns, diapers and undershirts. I think Eppie was the best dressed of all at least until she was about a year old. I remember when she was just learning to walk, she would go around the wall but she wouldn't turn loose. Papa came home and had gotten some candy. He got real close to Eppie and rattled the paper sack. Eppie made a little jump into Papa's arms. Ruby was the next one to come to Calif. 1924 I think by train. 1923 Letha & Tommy financed the trip. Ester left in 1926. She came by automobile John Birch - cousin - Florence and France Glenn. 1927 Leola married Virgil and moved to Cedar County. From 1927 it was Papa, Aline, Irene and I. We moved to the Metcalf place. We had all attended Googer School, also known as Cave Springs. We learned at an early age to protect one another. For example, Myrt Clapton who was our teacher was pregnaggnagnant and at the time and sick a lot. I was in the 6th grade. She would have me distribute the lesson to the students. About this time our school received some free textbooks. She asked me to pass them around, a list she had given me. As sooon a as I finished I realized Irene and Aline didn't have a book. At this time I confronted her. She a given her own son a book. She could easily have tutored him at home. The twins were to receive a book from Della Stanley when she had finished. The poor girl was a nice girl, but she was quite retarded and would never have finished. Mrs. Clapton was angry with me. She was not hired the next year. The twins never got a book. Have I mention on Friday afternoon at school we would have spelling matches, also cipher which Leola and I loved. We looked forward to this. We didn't get a lot of education, however we learned our 3 Rs well. The last years we were in Missouri Papa had to go away to earn some money. Sherman, George and Hubert, Papa's half brother, took him to Iowa and Nebraska to work in the cornfields. He would send money home to us. Uncle Sig. our great Uncle stayed with us. He had a good sense of humor. Papa was always careful who he had around us. He had always wanted to come to California. Papa, as we all heard him say, "I've got to get out of here, before you girls start marrying these hill billies". March 1929 we started for California. Letha, Tom, Ruby and Ester sent us money. Papa bought a 1922 Ford sedan and Sherman offered to drive us. He was to have the car once we got here. Papa never learned to drive. I think it took us two weeks. Again Tom came to our rescue and paid three months rent for us. Mr. Dick Jennings owned the property. Most of the Jennings boys went to work for So. Cal. Edison. I doubt if Tom was ever re-imbursed for the money he paid out for us. Papa did go and help build their house in Visalia. Two days after we arrived here, I went to work packing oranges, Papa starting picking them. I didn't want to go to school as I had been out 2 years. They would have laughed at me. Not so today. Tommy was generous to all of us also his own brothers, 11 or 12 I'm not sure. They helped us so much it could have been a hardship on them, I never heard either one say so. Again Tom would send Letha home to see us whenever he could afford to take off work. When Papa passed away, he was buried beside Mama. Together after 41 years. The thirties were tough even in Calif. When Pres. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 the nation started rolling. He was either loved or hated. I believe he was responsible for many great things. I never meant to write this much. It seemed one thing triggered another. Hope you will excuse my spelling, phrasing and writing. There are many other things I could tell you. This is not about me or it is not to be self- serving in anyway. Be careful what you ask for next time, you just might get it. Sincerely Elsie 11/6/99 | Glenn, Elsie (I119)

| 124 | We called my Uncle, Otis. He died of Pulmary Tuberculosis and Psychosis due to Cardiac Pulmonary Disease. He died at Norwalk State Hospital. He was 39 years old at time of his death. His Hospital Record Number is 26452. Uncle Otis is Buried at Park Lawn Cemetery next to my Dad John Payton. His occupation was a Truck Driver for a Transfer Company. He left behind his wife and six children.[payton.ftw] In a letter written by Rosella Payton Clark to Paul Payton she states: "I don't really remember alot about Otis' youth. You see, we were a family of 10 children being raised in the great depression. Life was not easy on our parents, trying to feed and clothe all. It was a very tough time just making it. Otis like sports in school. He was on the track team; his specialty being the pole vault. Baseball was a big part of his life also, especially in his young adult life. He was a pitcher on a softball team; the fast pitch style. The same teaeeam played together year after year and won many championships. All three of the older Payton boys played on the same team; so they had their own cheering section........ In spite of the times, we did have lots of fun growing up - we were very protective of each other. The boys took care of each other. It makes me sad to admit that people in our age group lived thru the best of times - morally and spiritually - it seems family life is on the decline." "Otis also had a giant case of wanderlust. He had seen most of the U.S. A. by adulthood. For no reason, he would pack a little sack of belongings and hop a boxcar; he would be gone for a month or so and one day he would turn up - dirty and hungry, and we'd all be so happy to see him. He'd tell us of where he'd been (New Mexico, Texas, Washington, or whereever). In those days he would be called a hobo. My mother fed lots of hobos who would show up at our door asking for food. I guess she hoped someone somewhere was feeding her boy." "We had an aunt who owned race horses. She was based in California, but traveled the country in the racing season. She would make it to a local track once a year and Otis loved to help her at her stalls. She would let him ride and excercise the horses. She begged our Dad to let Otis leave with her and become a jockey. Well, he had this growing spell and became much too tall to do that." | Payton, William Otis (I539)

|
| 129 | [grayshouse3.FTW] Henry is listed on the 1810 Pendleton Co., Ky census page 108, line 7. 2 males age under age 10, 1 male 26-45 (Henry). 2 females under age 10 and 1 female 26-45 (his unkn 1st wife). Henry appears in the 1830 census of Hickman Co., Ky., age 50. Tombstone states he was born in 1784, born Pennsylvania, by census. Henry is listed with 6 sons in 1830. He served in the Kentucky Cornstalk Brigade as an Ensign, 21st regimentg 20, 1808, Pendleton co., Ky. He was in Campbell Co., Ky between 1795 and 1806, in Pendleton Co., Ky after 1806. He received a land grant of 160 acres about 1825 in Hickman Co., Ky, which became Fulton Co., Ky after 1845. Henry is buried in the woods northwest of Jordan, Fulton co., Ky. Tombstone still legible. Henry Polsgrove, by Kent Forbis Henry, the eldest, after serving in the Cornstalk Brigade, Ky Militia, 21st reg. as an Ensign (ca 1808) stayed for awhile in the area of Polsgrove Landing at the junction of Flatt Creek and the Kentucky River, about 10 miles north of Frankfort, Ky. There his brothers Jacob & George established a small business shipping local farmers produce downriver on flat boats to Louisville, Ky. The community that grew up around them was called Polsgrove Landing and later Polsgrove, Ky. When the Jackson Purchase was ratified by the U.S. Congress, Henry was given (actually bought for $1.00 per acre) a land grant, just north of Jordan, Ky. His land grant was for the NE Qtr Section 36 Township one, Range 4 West. In 1825, Henry and four related families (Huffman, Brown, Lewis & Wilson) left Polsgrove Landing on flattop riverboats, coming down the Kentucky River to the Ohio, down the Ohio to the Mississippi to the port of Hickman, Ky and thense upstream on the Bayou de Chien to the port of Moscow. Henry's land just a short distance overland from there. An interesting bit of family history tied to actual historical fact during this time. In 1779-80, Dr. Walker had surveyed the boundary line to separate the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. His line failed to establish the true parallel of 36 degrees 30 minuets, his line falling from 6-10 miles north of the true parallel. After disputes between the states involving this area, an agreement was reached in 1820, by which these lands were to be given to Kentucky. That is why the boundary line between the Tennessee River west to the Mississippi River is farther south than the boundary line in east of the Tennessee River. In the Polsgrove family all records show a daughter of Henry born in 1825, as born in Tennessee. Obviously, the information had not spread to such rural areas at this time, and would not have been of much importance to farming people. Therefore, Henry's farm was in Tennessee he thought in 1825 and when the census was taken in 1830 and thereafter, it was recorded that Emeline had been born in Tennessee in 1825. In legal terms and from then on, his farm would stay in Kentucky. Henry and the related families, all very closely connected, all had land grants or purchased lands adjoining one another, or close by, mainly along the western side of what is now Route#166. Henry and James Lewis, his father-in-law had 320 acres each. James Lewis also had 18 slaves. He would have considered a moderately wealthy man in his time. This "Plantation" comprised 1440 acres of prime agricultural land. In 1837 Phillip Huffman, Henry's brother-in-law, appears to have wanted to liquidate and move on. First on Mar 18, 1837 he mortgaged his land for $672.00 to John Hanna, agent for Caldwell Hanna & Co. a firm of lawyers based in Louisville, Ky a an and Hickman, Ky., although John Hanna lived near by in the area. The mortgage was for one year. On Oct. 21, 1827, Phillip Huffman sold this same land to David James for $800.00, with the following notation on the deed...."with the excepeptioion of a lot sold off to Ryan Fisher including Larks of ole tan yard." On Nov. 6, 1837, Phillip Huffman to Rilan Fisher for $150.00..."a certain lot of land...containing 8 acres more or less and being the NE corner of quarter section 29 Twp One, Range 4 West, all that east of the Spring branch to include Larky old tan yard." A tan yard is place were animal skins are processed to make leather. David James took possession of the land he had bought and had his family established there for the 1840 census, Hickman Co., Ky with 8 members in his household. Rilan or Rylan Fisher was not recorded in any document before or after the land sale deed and he appears on no census. In a history of Franklin Co., I came across this item..."Coleman settled south of Franklin about 1806 and established a tan-yard near a spring known then as Brown's Spring, named for Hezikiah Brown who lived adjacent." In 1845, William Locke Alexander moved to the Jordan, Ky area and purchased land. Part of this land was the SW Qtr Section 25m Twp One Range 4 West where my great-great-great grandfathers grave site is located. When he purchased this tract, he could not get a clear title. He had to bring suit against Thomas M. Smith, Stephen Hanna, Charles Hanna, Charles Irvine and Elizabeth Irvine. All heirs of the deceased partners in Caldwell Hanna & Co. On Oct 28, 1846, the Fulton County Circuit Court awarded Alexander the entire and complete quarter section in question. The Fulton County Court Clerk could not find the records on this suit, nor the deed when originally sold to Alexander. Thihhis court proceeding took place during the transition when Fulton County split off from Hickman County in 1845, and must have been misplaced or lost. However, in looking at the deed involved originally, the lot sale. The Court Clerk had made an error, writting section 29 and not section 25. Also, Rilan Fisher seems to have just disappeared. There is also the possibility that the mortgage of 1837 had never been paid off. Whatever transpired at the time may never be known, but the fact is that William Locke Alexander was awarded the property and built his home close by the wooded area and called it "Pleasant Green". Henry was buried in 1842 on this lot which may never have been farmed. It is a pleasant, wooded area, possibly with a spring at that time, on a slight ridge, overlooking Henry's "Plantation". I am grateful and pleased that William Locke Alexander's descendants and relatives have been aware of an preserved my ancestors tombstone and probable grave site.

In 1850 Census, Farmer, Kentucky - William Polsgrove is listed as 10 years old and 1 of 4 children of Jacob Polsgrove and Jane. In 1880 Census William Polsgrove is listed as 40 yrs. old (which means a birth date appros. 1838) in Kentucky, married to Anna Virginia (Wolf). They also have children, one a daughter named America.
