1817, 18 Oct; St. Charles Co., MO, Deed: Garret Buckelew to Eliab Buckelew, both of St. Charles Co., for $200, 100 arpents or French acres [equal to .85 of an acre] on the waters of Little ? Colomies Creek. The land was part of the David ? Delony survey of a league confirmed to him by the US govn't. The tract included the place where "Eliab Buckelew now lives." Sig. Garret Buckelew. Ack. by Garret Buckelew on 17 Feb 1818. Rec. 3 Feb 1823, Pike Co., MO.
1834, 31 Dec.; Pike Co., IL, Probate, Estate of Garret Buckalew: Eliab Buckalew of Pike Co., IL, was named as an heir to the Estate of Garret Buckalew, of Pike Co., MO.

Eliab settled near Bayville, MO. An 1810 Ramsey Creek, MO, settler, and died in his own hewn log cabin near where the Bay Creek breaks through the Bluffs at Bayville 26 Feb 1844.

Eliab's son, John, married Margaret Collard, after whose death he married Lucinda Elizabeth Firman. A son, Eli, was born to one of these unions.
After John died in 1838, Eliab became guardian of his grandson, Eli, per John's expressed wishes. However, when John's widow married Thomas Harlow, she and her new husband went to court to regain guardianship over Eli, but Eli died as a minor early in the 1840s before the suit was settled.
Records show that Eli's coffin cost $4.00 and Eliab's cost $5.00.

The settlement papers for Eliab's estate did not name Eliab's daughters. Named were the men who married the BuckalOO girls.

When John died in 1838, guardianship of his son, Eli (b.9 Sep 1837), was granted to Eli's grandfather, Eliab. There was a custody battle between John's widow, Lucinda, who had married Thomas Harlow. The suit ended with Eli's death before July 1842. John had no other known children.

Eliza and Harris Speare's son, Lewis, has provided FGS. After Eliza's death, Harris Married Eliza Carding in Pike Co. in 1851.

Garrett and Joseph received part payment of their legacies in Apr 1847 and apparently moved to Oregon soon after where both died in late 1847. Both were named in the 1849 order to settle Eliab's estate, but the court may not have known they were deceased. Garrett's widow, Julia, seems to have married M. M. McCarver in Clackamas Co., Or. Garrett's only known child was a daughter, Mary Ann.

Mahala's husband, James Pruitt, may have died before Eliab. A William P. Pruitt was named as an heir to Eliab's estate. His legacy was received by _____ Hemphill, guardian in 1849.

Nothing is known about Eliab's daughter, his fifth child, except a Henry or Hiram Young was named as an heir to Eliab's estate.

Celia apparently died prior to the 1850 census, because J. C. Turnbaugh's report indicated a second wife, Elizabetj(?).

Lydia Zumwalt was on the 1850 census with Samuel, but apparently died, because Samuel married Mrs. Margaret Aiken in 1854.

Before 1805 when Eliab was 26, he married Rebecca. Born abt 1790/1800. Rebecca died in Pike Co., IL, before 1844; she was 54.

....
It was interesting that he (Jesse) had a smithy and plow factory, my Hughes ancestors were all blacksmiths .

Jesse Hughes , son of Jesse and Mary Buckalew Hughes came to Texas with the Mercer Colony before 1845 with his wife Mary Baley hughes and a child named Sarah , his niece I think .

I cannot document what happened to Mary , Jesse deeded his land to her before he went to the civil war , she pd tax in 1862 Mary and husband Jesse paid in 1863-64 . I can't find them in 1865 on tax roll .

Jesse married Nancy Giddings Litchfield in Jun .1865 Jesse was in Co. H 11th Texas cavalry . Jesse and Nancy had children--- David, Jesse Samuel, Peter E. Mary , syntha, William and George W. Jesse Samuel b13 Apr.1866 Hunt Co. Tx. m Emma Etta Burgess 1 Nov. 1884 d 6 May 1944 children were Ethel Burgess , Jessie Leona , James Arthur and Drucilla James Arthur Hughes b 20 Mar. 1888 Hunt Co. Tx. m Lena Maude Walker 12 Nov. 1904 d 1 Sept. 1958. Children were Lou Alla , James Milman and Lyla Gwyndolyn Lyla Gwyndolyn m Leonard Abbott Hurley I am the daughter of Lyla Gwyndolyn and Leonard Abbott

I am a member of United Dau. of the Confederacy , Texas First Families, Daughters of the Republic of Texas and have a Hopkins Co First Family cert., all due to Jesse Hughes . You have the info on the other offspring that I have . I did find that Issac Linn and Celie Hughes Linn came with the Mercer Colony also, probably with Jesse .

Please keep me on mind , some one out ther knows who Jesse's Dad was!

Sincerely ,
Mary Lou Hurley Melton

To: buckles@mindspring.com

I greatly appreciate you web site on the Buckalew family.  I have been doing research on one of my relatives, SAmuel Groshong, born in 1793 and lived in Adams co. Illinois.  In doing my research I came upon your site that stated a Samuel Groshong was married to a Elizabeth Buckalew and they had child named Mary who married George CAmpbell.  The info I have says that Samuel Groshong married a Potawattamie Indian woman, had a child named Mary who married George Campbell.  I'm trying to find out if Elizabeth Buckalew is that indian woman.  I'm including the info i have from Adams Co. Illinois.:

Groshong Family History: Samuel Groshong (b.1793 France; died abt 1827 Adams Co., IL) ...

The War of 1812 had ended and a fort was built in Western Illinois in 1814 called Fort Edwards, where the present city of Warsaw now stands. Another government outpost was Alton, Illinois. Between these two outposts, a Frenchman by the name of Samuel Groshong made his journeys on foot as a dispatch bearer and a scout for the Federal Government. Some say he was also a spy for the Federal Government. He was probably the first white man to visit the area of Ursa, Illinois, known before 1850 as Bear Creek territory. He later established a home here. Samuel knew most of the Indians on the trail between Fort Edwards and Alton. He spoke four or five Indian languages and also French. On most of his trips he was disguised as an Indian. The old Warsaw Wagon Road was an Indian trail that man was using long before the area was known as Adams County. Samuel was married to a Pottawatomie Indian woman. Two daughters were born, Fannie in 1806 and Mary in May of 1811. Mary was born in Lincoln County, Missouri. Samuel and his family settled in Adams County, Illinois in 1823 and built the first cabin in the county. In 1823, George Campbell arrived on foot from Tennessee and erected a cabin on his claim in the north east quarter of Section 31 near what is now Walnut Corners. At this time Campbell stayed with Groshong for four days before returning on foot to Tennessee for his stock and other supplies. On his return trip in 1824, he was joined near Palmyra, Missouri by Groshong and his two daughters for the remainder of the trip. Palmyra was the location of a trading post at the time. Samuel's wife had died shortly before. When they got to the Mississippi River, they built a raft of logs to ferry the wagons and small stock that could not swim. They made most of the stock swim it. They had horses for riding purposes only. Most work was done by oxen. This is the way all of the first settlers crossed any rivers that they came to. Groshong settled on the north east quarter of Section 29 near Rock Creek. George Campbell married Samuel's daughter Mary the next year on August 18, 1825. In January of 1825, the Adams County circuit court was organized. On the 5th of September, the Grand Jurors were summoned to appear at the court house on the 5th of October. Samuel Groshong was one of the jurymen. One week later the petit jury met. George Campbell was on that jury. The court house at that time stood were fifth and Main St. is now in Quincy, Illinois. Samuel died in the winter of 1826 or 1827. His is buried in the old cemetery just North of Ursa on the West side of the road known as the Denson Cemetery. His grave in the Southwest part of the cemetery. They covered it with rocks to keep the wolves from digging him up. At the time he was buried, the ground was frozen so hard they only buried him about two feet deep. Those days they just wrapped them in a blanket. There is another grave in that cemetery covered with rocks also.

About 1805 when Elizabeth was 23, she married Samuel Groshong. Samuel died about 1826.

Samuel and Elizabeth first held land in St. Charles District, MO, where a daughter, Mary was born to them. Samuel taught School there before the War of 1812. An account is given of his riding out one day near one of the forts, perhaps Clark's, when he was charged by Indians, one of whom shot him in the shoulder. He then spurred his horse and ran for his life, when about 300 yards from the fort his horse fell dead. His comrades in the fort ran out and carried him into the fort to safety (History of Missouri, p 457). They went to Ursa Township, Adams Co., IL, in 1823, where he built the first log cabin there.

They had the following children:

I found a book on microfilm at my local LDS Family History Center that seems to pertain to your Beans, but gives some different dates, places, and other spouses for some of your people.

It is called "Poorets: George Washington Bean: Mormon Pioneer of 1847: Indian Interpreter, Explorer, Judge" by James A. Bean, published by Jim Bean Associates, Los Gatos, California, (c)1992, printed by Bookcrafters Inc., Chelsea, MI. Call # US/CAN;929.273;B374bj.

William III died in Oct 1809 in Pike Co., IL, before William IV was born; Anna remarried to Andrew Edwards, a widower w/ one child. [Plus many more interesting details of Indian raids, moving to MO and back to IL, etc.]

May have been born in Laurens Co., SC.

Another record gives his death in Oct, rather than Sep, 1809, and Lincoln Co., rather than St. Charles Co., MO.
