Thank you, thank you for all this marvelous information. The information you provided confirmed that the James you found is my great grandfather because I did know that he had a sister, Artha, and this info has provided me with positive ID on my g-g-grandparents. The funny part of it is that the 1880 Census for Lancaster was to be my very next search which I was planning on doing today. Thanks for all of this I really appreciate it. It is so wonderful when everyone can share family histories.

Hi Jim,
I am not a descendant of this family but have a bit of info about them. The Brickleys married many members of my Wells County family, so I've traced them to a certain degree.
It looks like there is a James Brickley who was a son in this family. The 1880 census shows Peter & Mary A. Brickley in Lancaster Twp. with the following children: James, 22, born Indiana; Mary C., 19; John Z., 16; Elsa M. (son), 14; Cora L. J., 12; Margret M., 10; Thomas F., 6; Arla A., 2; and Artha A., 2.
Best wishes,

Do you know the name of John Coon's wife? Also the names of any of Emily Coon's siblings? I have a Samuel Coon b. 16 Mar 1820 in Ohio whose father was John. Married in Pickaway Co., Ohio in 1842.
Wells County list members,
I am working on cleaning the flower beds at the Historic Museum. I have found in the beds some historic iris rhizomes( or what is left of them). I would like to know if anyone has any healthy starts of any of the iris from the Williamson farm.
The tags on the ones I found are: Emma Cook(Cook- White blue edge '57) Quiet Night (P. Cook by E. Cook ' 67), My Girl Friend (by Williamson ''78). I would also like a start of the "Wabash" by Williamson an American Dykes Medal winner. The iris beds are old and the rhizomes are nearly all dead ( the iris borers were very hungry). I would like to restore the beds to the lovely iris beds they once were.
Please contact me directly is you have any information about these iris or about the farm. My historic interest has been stirred by the need to locate these iris.

HIRAM TEWKSBURY
Memorial Record of Northeastern Indiana
The Lewis Publishing Company
Chicago 1896
pp 176-179
Hiram Tewksbury is not only one of the most extensive landowners and prominent business men of Blackford county, but is also one of the most esteemed. He has been identified with the history of this section of the State since its pioneer days, has ever borne his part in its development, has aided in its upbuilding, and has so lived as to win the unqualified confidence of the entire community. He is respected by all who know him for his sterling characteristics, and the history of northeastern Indiana would be incomplete without a record of his life.
Back to England he traces his ancestry. There in the early part of the seventeenth century lived John Tewksbury, who belonged to that noble band of Puritans that in order to secure religious freedom braved the dangers of an ocean voyage to secure a home in the New World. He landed on the shores of New England in 1625, and about a quarter of a century later removed from Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Sandwich, New Hampshire, where his descendants have resided for two and a half centuries. He married a Miss Brown, who had come to the United States with the heroic band that had sailed in the Mayflower in 1620.
The paternal grandfather of our subject John Tewksbury, and the maternal grandfather, Daniel Tewksbury were brothers. The latter was born in Sandwich, New Hampshire, May 4, 1783, and married Miss Polly Brown, who was born in the same place, January 9, 1781, and descended from the Mayflower family of that name. They were married in about the year 1801, and to them were born the following children: Mary, born January 22, 1805, died March 1, 1815; Nancy, mother of our subject; Patty, born May 19, 1809, and died June 13, 1815; Elijah, born March 11, 1811, and died December 20, 1843; Daniel born March 19, 1813, and died September 18, 1814; Daniel M., born April 7, 1815, and died April 20, 1881; Lyman, born January 17, 1817, and died in December 1886; Simon, born October 26, 1819, and is living in Clifford, Michigan; Sophia, born June 10, 1821, and resides in Battle Creek, Michigan; and Asel, who was born February 7, 1823, and died September 14, 1827.
The paternal grandfather of our subject was also a native of Sandwich, New Hampshire, and married Hannah Mudgett. Their children were Nathaniel, Nancy, Maria, Ezekial, Henry, Betsey, and Susan. All remained in New England save the father of our subject.
The father of our subject, Nathaniel Tewksbury, was also of native of Sandwich, New Hampshire, born August 6, 1799. Having arrived at years of maturity he married Miss Nancy Tewksbury, on the 24th of February, 1825. The lady was born November 7, 1807 in Sandwich, and there they resided until 1833, when they removed to Summit county, Ohio, where the parents of Mrs. Tewksbury had settled about ten years previous. On the 15th of February, 1841, they started for Indiana, traveling with an ox team and wagon, and camping out along the road wherever night overtook them. They traveled through a wild, unbroken region, having often to cut their way through the forests, and to ford streams which would almost float their wagons. On the 2nd day of April they reached Blackford county, and the family were established there in a small cabin, while the father continued on his way to Wells county to erect a log cabin upon a tract of eighty acres of land which he entered from the Govern!
ment in 1837 before leaving Ohio. This is the same farm on which our subject resided until October, 1894. The father had to make a clearing in order to erect his cabin, and the trees which he cut down he sawed into logs used in construction of the house. In December the little building was ready for occupancy and the family came to their new home. There was no road near the land, – nothing but an Indian trail which ran from the Godfrey reserve to within half a mile of the farm. On all sides stretched wild forest or unbroken timber lands, where wild animals were far more numerous than white settlers. Bears and wolves still roamed through these unimproved regions and deer and smaller wild game were to be had in abundance. The family experienced all the hardships and trials of making a settlement in a new country, but as the years passed the land was reclaimed from its virgin condition and transformed into rich and fertile fields. At first they were obliged to !
have their milling done at Muncie, but subsequently went to the nearer town of Camden, where there was a corn-crusher. A few years later a good mill was erected on the Salamonie river, and with the advance of civilization the hardships of pioneer life disappeared. Wheat was at first hauled to Fort Wayne, it requiring about a week to make the trip, and they received from thirty to fifty cents a bushel for that grain, while for salt they would have to pay from $4 to $5 per barrel.
Mr. Tewksbury arrived in Wells county with only $1.50 in cash, an ox team, one cow and his household goods; but as the years went by prosperity blessed his earnest and industrious efforts and he became the possessor of not only a comfortable home but also quite a handsome competence. He was among the first to give attention to stock-raising in Wells county, and was always interested in this branch of industry, which proved to him a profitable one. True to all the relations of life, both Mr. and Mrs. Tewksbury had the high regard of many friends, and for more than a third of a century were numbered among the esteemed citizens of Wells county. The mother was called to the home beyond March 17, 1877, and the father passed away February 11, 1878, their remains being interred in Montpelier cemetery. They had three children, but our subject is now the only surviving member of the family. James Madison, the eldest, born May 13, 1838, died July 16, 1840; and Henrietta, born Jul!
y 12, 1842, died August 14, 1847.
Hiram Tewksbury, widely and favorably known in northeastern Indiana, was born in Summit county, Ohio, December 16, 1840, and was therefore less than a year old when the family came to Indiana. Reared amid the wild scenes of frontier life, he gave his attention during his youth to the operation of the fields and other duties of the farm. For more than half a century he lived upon the land which his father secured from the Government, and became the largest individual stock-raiser in Wells county. He was an enterprising agriculturist, always progressive, and constantly improving upon his own and others' methods. He did much to raise the grade of stock in this locality, and kept abreast with the progress of the times in every particular. His is sagacious and far-sighted, possesses excellent business and executive ability, and his capable management, energy and enterprise have largely increased his property in extent and value. He is today the owner of over 1000 acres of l!
and in Wells and Blackford counties, Indiana, and at Grand Traverse, Michigan. In Wells county his landed possessions aggregate 636 acres; in Blackford county 431 acres; and in Michigan eighty acres. All of the Indiana land lies in the oil belt, and since the discovery of oil has become very valuable property. His first well was drilled in May, 1890, and yielded a production of twenty barrels daily. He now has thirty-one oil-producing wells and his most extensive yield is over 500 barrels daily. His largest production for any one month yielded him a royalty of $1800, and his royalty for 1894 was over $12,000. The wells are operated by a number of different companies, the Ohio Oil Company, however, having charge of the largest number. Mr. Tewksbury was for a time connected with Cochran & Company, who drilled five wells on his farm, but subsequently he sold out his interest. His possessions now yield to him a handsome income and he is living retired, enjoying the frui!
ts of his former toil. He was for a time engaged in the hardware business with William and John Cloud, of Montpelier, – from 1875 until 1877, – and from 1881 until 1883 he was a member of the general mercantile firm of J.T. Hess & Company.
On the 17th of October, 1894, Mr. Tewksbury left the old farm, where his entire life had been passed up to that time, and is now making his home in Montpelier. In April 1863, he wedded Miss Mary Jane Harris, a native of Jay county, Indiana, and a daughter of David and Eliza (Caldwell) Harris. The date of her birth was May 22, 1842, and her death occurred September 10, 1877. There were two children of this union: John Marion, who was born August 24, 1864, was married June 22, 1891, to Laura, daughter of Robert and Susan (Hunt) Shields, and is now living near the old homestead; and Elmer, born January 31, 1866, who married Ellen McCoy. Mr. Tewksbury was again married January 22, 1880, his second union being with Mrs. Cecelia Conley, a native of Rochester, New York, and a daughter of Addison and Mary (McConaghy) Nowlin. Three children grace this second union, viz.: Eva, born November 17, 1880; Joy, born February 10, 1884; and Helen, born November 20, 1887.
In his political views, Mr Tewksbury has long been a stalwart Republican. His father joined that party on its organization, and when he had attained his majority he also entered its ranks, and has since faithfully upheld its banner. He has never taken a very active part in politics in the sense of office-seeking, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business pursuits, in which he has met with signal success.
