| 202 | According to David Dunn: Jacob P. Wimsett was born 10 Nov 1840 near Scottland, Edgar County IL and died after 1895 in Caney, Montgomery County KS. He married C. M. Unknown before 1876, probably in Kansas. She was a Native American and was born abt 1834. [The family legend has it that he and his younger brother John were in the Union Army during the Civil War. John became mortally ill, and Jacob deserted and brought him home to die. After that, he re-enlisted in another regiment and never returned to Illinois after the war, instead heading for Kansas or Oklahoma.

| 210 | According to Postle(s) in America book, Amos was a farmer in Madison County, Ohio, who unfortunately over extended his spending and lost his farm, house, equipment--everything. His equity was picked up by Jerome Ingalls, Attorney -- who sold Amos' farm to George Geyer for $6,200. Bankruptcy was filed in 1880. Amos and family left Ohio immediately for Union Township, Doniphan County, Kansas, then sometime (within the next 10 year period) removed to South Trinton Street, Horton, Brown County, KS (where they were found in the 1900 Federal Census). When they removed to Missouri (Hocomo, Bakersfield, and Thayer) is not certain -- but they were known as residents. | Postle, Amos R. (I1863)

| 212 | According to Postle(s) in America, the 1900 census listed Hattie (Ingles) Postle's birth year as 1845. Obituary, Thursday November 14, 1918, Horton Headlight Commercial POSTLE, Hettie Ingalls was born in Franklin county, Ohio, May 4, 1848. She was united in marriage to Amos R. Postle at Rome, Ohio, on Oct. 26,1870. In the spring of 1879 with her husband she moved to Kansas, locating on a farm near Denton, then during the fall of 1899 she and family moved to Horton, where she resided until Nov. 9, 1918, when after a short but painful illness she was called unto her Maker. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her loss five children___Jessie, wife of Elmer Morgan, Horton; Sherman Postle, of Oklahoma City; Z. E. and C. O. Postle, Horton, and Mollie, wife of John Walters of Springfield, Mo; also seven grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters who reside in Nebraska and Ohio. During her earlier life, Mrs. Postle endured many hardships but bore her troubles in silence, of a forgiving nature she made a host of friends, and during the last few years of her life it has been the comment of those friends upon the loving care given her by members of her family. Services were held Monday afternoon at the home by the Rev. Mr. Smalley, and remains were laid to rest in Horton cemetery. The esteem of friends and neighbors for Mrs. Postle was manifested by the large numbers of beautiful flowers. This death of the wife and mother is the first in this family and her absence will be keenly felt by the father and sons who are going to try and keep the home intact. May this wish be granted. ------ A Friend | Ingalls, Henrietta 'Hettie' (I1946)

| 213 | According to Postle(s) in America, Zadoc was born May 15, 1814 (Postles family journal). DAR Bible Records gives birth date of May 5, 1814. Per Postles family journal death date was 10-1-1895 -- per Probate Court Records, Vol. 3, page 290, death date is 9-27-1895. Zadoc attended school in Franklin County, Ohio in a school house that used to be on the farm (in 1891) of Russell Hunter. It was described as having slabs layered on pins in the walls for desks and seats made from a rail placed around them. Zadoc owned about 400 acres of land west of Alton, OH, which he had to clear for farming. It also contained plenty of coons, turkeys, and deer. | Postle, Zadoc (I1857)

| 214 | According to several sources, John Lisle was born in Ireland (probably Northern Ireland) about 1758 (based on gravestone which gives his age at death as 50). The sources tell the story of John coming to America with an older brother. There is a problem with this story in that about 1770 Scot-Irish emigration to America virtually stopped and did not continue again significantly until after the Revolution. This makes it very difficult to date his passage. Some possibility exists that he was actually born in America and that the stories are about his parents. He married Rachel Irwin sometime before 1784, probably in Pennsylvania. Current research suggests that she may have been from Cumberland County. Their first son, Robert Lisle, was born in Pennsylvania on September 19, 1785. John Lisle bought a Revolutionary War claim in Kentucky and moved his family there. His second son James was born there on March 31, 1788. That claim was ruled invalid, and he lost it and seems to have returned to Pennsylvania where he is listed in the census in 1790 as residing in the eastern portion of Cumberland County and his family consisted of 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, and 1 female. His first daughter Margaret was born in Pennsylvania on 20 May 1790 and his daughter Elizabeth was born there about 1793 (according to 1850 census, she was 57, born in PA). His next daughter Jane was born about 1795 in Kentucky (according to 1850 census) so he must have returned there sometime between 1793 and 1795. In 1797 he and his family joined with Lucas Sullivant and travelled from Cincinnati (Hamilton County, OH) to Franklinton as part of the first group of permanent settlers of Franklin County. As no roads had been made from Cincinnati and they followed the Indian trails. On reaching what is now Franklin County he secured a claim, "entering from the government three hundred acres of land on Whetstone Creek in Perry Township. His next daughter Rebecca was born in Ohio about 1798 (according to the 1850 census). He remained there about a year where he cultivated a piece of land belonging to Lucas Sulivant. In 1800 he moved three miles further North, settling in Clinton Township, taking up two hundred acres. His youngest son John was born in Ohio about 1802, and his youngest daughter Rachel was born about 1805. He entered a tract of one hundred and sixty acres for his son Robert and a similar tract for his son James in Hamilton Township. He developed a farm and carried on agricultural pursuits until his demise. On December 27, 1808, John Lisle died, probably at his home in Clinton Township. He is buried in the old part of Union Cemetery, in Columbus, across the River from his home. I have a picture of his tombstone. The tombstone is so worn that parts of it cannot be read; even a rubbing was tried. Gravestone says age 50 (1972 and 1998 reading). His will is one of the first recorded in Franklin County, Ohio. It was recorded in 1809, Will Book A, p20. A copy of the will is in my possession, proven February term, 1809. However, the Estate was not settled until 1824 after his wife Rachel died. Will mentions wife, sons Robert, James, & John, daugther "Market," and "other" daugthers. Property: John Lisle acquired a significant amount of property in his decade in Ohio. In addiiton to the Clinton farm, he got land for his sons Robert and James in Hamilton Township. In addition, he seems to have bought and sold other lands. Some of the records are lost as some of the early deed books were destroyed in a fire and not all of the records could be replaced. I have copies of the following: 1. Indenture made for a lot on 23 Jan. 1801 between Lucas and his wife Sally Sullivant, of Franklinton in the Township of Wayne, Ross County, OH, for thirty three dollars and one third of a dollar to John Lysle, of Franklinton.

Second, I will that the farm that I now live the profits thereof is to be made use of for the support of my family until the youngest son, John Lysle, shall become of age 21 years old. Thirdly, I will all that quarter section of land that lies adjoining William Caldwell on Walnut Creek to my oldest son Robert Lysle, also that he shall possess the horses and cows and hogs that he had heretofore claimed, also that he shall possess one fourth part of the crop that is now laid by and likewise of the winter grain together with a rifle gun and saddle. Fourthly, I will all that quarter section of land that lies adjoining Robert Wilson near Walnut Creek to my second son James Lisle, likewise that he possess the horses and hogs that he had heretofore claimed, also that he be furnished with suitable apparel for going abroad together with a saddle. Fifthly, I will the track of land I now live on to my youngest son John Lysle at the age of 21 years old and if my wife should not live until he becomes of age then in that case my executors must find him a good trade. Sixthly, I will to my oldest daughter Margaret Lisle one hundred acres of land which lies on the waters of Whetstone joining land to Jeremiah Armstrong, also all the property she has in possession, also one young cow. Seventhly, I also will that each one of my daughters that has not been mentioned shall receive $400 in property or money at the option of executors, also balance of my property to be divided equally among all my children. I likewise constitute and make and ordain my beloved wife Rachel and my oldest son Robert to be my sole executors and executor of this my Last Will and Testament .... In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of December in the year of our Lord 1808. John Lisle (his mark) Witnesses: Elijah Fulton, Joseph Cowgill, Daniel Hess Will proven and executors qualified at February term, 1809. Notes on Will: The farm referred to in items 2 and 5 was in Clinton Twp., Franklin County, on the west side of the Olentangy River south of Lane Avenue. It is presently the west campus of the Ohio State University. The farms referred to in items three and four were in Hamilton Township, Franklin County, near Obetz. The 100 acres referred to in item 6 was on the west side of the Olentangy north of the home farm referred to in items 2 and 5. The Hess family, whose patriarch was Balzer Hess, owned lands north of John Lisle's land on the Olentangy (north of Lane Avenue). The fact that John Lisle signed by mark suggests that he could not read or write. This is also confirmed by several notes in his estate file which he signed by mark. However, the inventory of his estate did include "one lot of books." Illiteracy was not unusal among the Scotch-Irish who lived on the frontier. ______________ The record of the administration of the estate of John Lisle is found in Case No. 32-A, Probate Court of Franklin County, Ohio, Microfilm Record GR3280, Ohio Historical Society. It includes an Appraisement Bill signed March 1, 1809, recorded in Inventory Book A, page 129, and filed on April 21, 1809. The inventory itemizes the horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, grain, farm tools and equipment, household furniture and goods of the deceased, as well as money owed the deceased. As was the procedure at that time, real estate was not listed. The total came to $897.20. The appraisers were Joseph Hunter, Elijah Fulton, and John Wilson. The estate file also includes the account filed by Robert Lisle as surviving executor following the death of his mother Rachel. The disbursements are evidenced by receipts. They include two receipts signed by James Kilbourne as agent for Jonathan Dayton which was no doubt for payments on land. The records also include two notes co-signed by John Lisle (his mark) and John Wilson. Payments to the daughters of John Lisle are evidenced by receipts signed by Rachel Sackett, Jane Maynard, Elizabeth and Luther Power, Rebecca Lisle, Margaret McElvein and James McElvain, Joseph Young. In the same file is an account by Robert Lisle for the estate of Rachel Lisle. Her estate included a loom, plow, tin kettel and several notes, totalling $137.51, which was distributed to the children (or daughters husbands): James McElvain, James Lisle, John Lisle, Jane Maynard, Joseph Young, Rachel Sacket, Elizabeth Power, and Robert Lisle during 1823 and 1824. _____________ The following appears at page 397 of Williams Brothers History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties which was published in 1880: "The Lisle family of which John Lisle of Hamilton Township is the oldest living representative, was among the first settled in Franklin County. The grandfather, John Lisle, was a native of Ireland but when a young man emigrated to the United States with an older brother. He married in Pennsylvania, Rachel Irwin, and remained in that state a few years when he removed to Kentucky. He purchased there a military claim, but subsequently lost it, the title being invalid. In 1798 he emigrated with his family, consisting of his wife and eight children to Ohio and settled in Franklinton. He remained there about a year during which he cultivated a piece of land belonging to Lucas Sullivant, when he removed three miles further north and settled in Clinton Township, taking up 200 acres and making his location on the place now owned by J. O. Lisle. He died there in 1810. The children of John and Rachel Lisle were Robert, Margaret, Elizabeth, James, Rebecca, Jane, John, and Rachel, all now deceased. Margaret was the wife of James McElvain, one of the early pioneers of Franklin County, but finally removing with his family to Indiana. Elizabeth was the wife of Luther Powers who also went to Indiana. James married Mary Golliford and was a resident of Hamilton Township until his death. Rebecca married Joseph Young and resided in Fairfield County. Jane became the wife of Samuel Maynard, lived in Clinton Township, and then removed to Sandusky. John married Thankful Maynard and went to Indiana. Rachel married William Sackett, first settled in Fairfield County but eventually moved to Putnam County." _____________ William T. Martin's History of Franklin County published in 1858 at page 1 - 5: "The first settlement of the territory now comprising the county of Franklin was commenced in the year 1797 while we were yet under the Territorial Government and in the County of Ross. In the year 1796, or early in 1797, Lucas Sullivant, from Kentucky, then a young man, with his corps of chain-carriers, markers, etc., engaged in the surveying of lands and locating warrants in the Virginia Military District, west of the Scioto; and in the month of August, 1797, he laid out the town of Franklinton. To encourage the settlement of the place, he appropriated the lots on a certain street, which he named "Gift street", as donations to such as would improve them and become actual settlers thereon. The settlement of the town was soon commenced. Among the first settlers were ... John Lisle and family ... (also mentioned are Jeremiah Armstrong referred to in paragraph 6 of John Lisle's Will and the McElvains - daughter Margaret married James McElvain). About the year 1801 Mr. Sullivant having married settled in the new town ... At the first settlement of the county the Indians were numerous but friendly, it being some two or three years after Wayne's Treaty; they were principally of the Wyandot tribe, some Delawares, and a few Mingoes. In front of where the Penitentiary now stands, they had an encampment, with their usual wigwams; another on the west bank of the Scioto near where the Harrisburg bridge is now erected over the river; and they had for years raised corn in what was afterward known as Sullivant's prairie. ... In 1803 a settlement was commenced about where the town of Worthington now stands, by a company said to number 40 families from Connecticut and Massacusetts, known by the name of the "Scioto Company" under the agency of James Kilbourne, who had the preceeding year explored the country, and selected the situation for them. (this is the same man who the Lisles dealt with in their purchase of land of Jonathan Dayton - the Scioto Company land was purchased in part from Dayton) ... For several years there was no mill nor considerable settlement nearer than the vicinity of Chillicothe." On page 230 relating to Clinton Township, the author stated, "Among the first settlers in this township were the Fultons (Elijah Fulton was a witness to John Lisle's Will and an appraiser of his estate), John Hunter (Joseph Hunter was an appraiser of John Lisle's estate), Samuel McElvain and family (Margaret Lisle married James McElvain), John Lisle and family, Mr. Henderson and family, and the Hesses (Daniel Hess was a witness to John Lisle's Will.) ... In 1811 it was organized as a township." At page 369, Martin stated, "The First Presbyterian Church had its origin in Franklinton and was organized on the 8th day of February, 1806, as the First Presbyterian Church of Franklin County. Pastor - Rev. James Hoge. ... Trustees included Lucas Sullivant. Original members of the congregation with their families included Lucas Sullivant, John Lisle, Luther Powers (who married Elizabeth Lisle), Joseph Hunter (appraiser of John Lisle's estate), William McElvain (James McElvain married Margaret Lisle). In 1805 the venerable Dr. Hoge, then a young man, first arrived in Franklinton as a missionary; and after laboring in that capacity for some time, he formed a regular church of which he remained the head until he resigned his charge in 1857. The congregation first met in a two-story frame house in Franklinton used by the Supreme Court during its sessions in Franklin County. The next church building was a very plain one story brick house erected on the bank of the river near the old Franklinton burying ground. The society's next step was its removal to the infant town of Columbus." _____________ Moore's History of Franklin County, Ohio (1930) at page 89 of Volume 1 states, "The official list of first settlers of Franklin County has been sanctioned by the Franklin County Pioneers Association and permanently recorded in the form of a marble tablet in the Memorial Hall. It is as follows: Clinton Township John Lisle 1800." ________________ A Centennial History of the City of Columbus and Franklin County, Ohio published in 1901 included the following in an article on William Lisle (John's grandson): "John Lisle was a native of Kentucky and removed to Cincinnati and afterward to Franklinton. On the journey he carried his two sons, James and Robert, in saddlebags on his horse and his wife carried her little infant daughter. No roads had been made from Cincinnati and they followed the Indian trails. On reaching what is now Franklin County, John Lisle secured a claim, entering from the government three hundred acres of land on Whetstone Creek in Perry Township. There he located in the midst of the wilderness when he could have secured the land upon which the City of Columbus has since been built had he so desired. He also entered a tract for his son James. On the wild frontier he developed a good farm and carried on agriculture until his demise." _____________ The following is found in Extracts from the Diary of Joel Buttles at pages 15 - 16: "My father moved his family from Granby, Connecticut, to Worthington, Ohio, in the fall of 1804. ... We terminated our journey on the 8th of December in the midst of the wilderness, save that there were a few people living at Worthington and Franklinton and in the country about. There were no white people living north of Worthington except some four or five families in what for a long time was called Carpenter's Settlement which was on the Whetstone River about 15 miles north. On the east there were some thirty families about thirty miles away; and near what is now Newark there were a few families. In the southeast direction about ten miles Reed, Nelson and Shaw, and perhaps one other family, had made a beginning on the bottom of Alum Creek. Following down the Whetstone south, before coming to Franklinton, nine miles from Worthington, a few families had lately settled, mostly from Pennsylvania. These were the Hendersons, Lysles, Fultons, and Hunters. Franklinton was then the principal town or village north of Chillicothe; indeed I believe the only one, unless Jefferson on the Pickaway plains had been located of which I am uncertain. It was a county seat where courts for the county were held. On the west I do not know that there were any settlements. For several years after the time of which I now write, the Indians still continued to make the country around their hunting grounds." __________ The history of the real estate on which John Lisle resided at the time of his death is as follows: Upon his death, it was to be used to support his family until his youngest son John attained age 21. Will Book A, p. 20, Franklin County Probate Court. On June 25, 1823, John Jr. sold the real estate to his brother Robert Lisle for $1,500. The property was described as part of Section 3, Twp. 1, Range 18, beginning at the southeast corner of the lands of Balzer Hess in Whetstone River; thence west two hundred poles (3300 feet); thence south 160 poles (2,640 feet), thence east 167 poles to a red elm in the west bank of Whetstone River (Olentangy River); thence up the middle of the river. Deed Book 4, p. 105, Franklin County Recorders Office. Upon Robert Lisle's death on April 28, 1863, his Will devised the south part of his Clinton Twp. farm to his grandson Jeremiah Lisle and the north half to his son Eli McIntire Lisle. Jeremiah Lisle's farm was lost through a series of foreclosures in the 1890s. Upon the death of Eli, his half of the farm passed to his widow Mary, his daughter Emily Stump and his son Samuel S. Lisle. Mary and Emily deeded their interest to Samuel. Upon Samuel's death, the farm passed to his widow and minor children. On August 2, 1879, 12.14 acres was sold to Trustees for the Ohio State University. The Lisle homestead is now all part of the Ohio State University campus on the west side of the Olentangy River south of Lane Avenue. __________ The following transactions with lots in Franklinton are documented by deeds recorded in the Franklin County Recorders Office: Deed from Lucas Sullivant and wife Sally, of the Township of Wayne, Ross County, in the Territory of the United States Northwest of the River Ohio to John Lysle of Franklinton dated Jan. 23, 1801, for inlot 68 in the town of Franklinton bounded on the north by Sixth Street, on the east by Grave Street, on the south and west by lots 107 and 105. The consideration for the lot was $33.33. Deed Book 1, p. 516, Ross County Recorders Office, Franklin County Deeds (Ross and Fairfield) pp 12-13. Unable to locate a deed from John Lisle selling this lot. Deed from John Lyle of Liberty Township, Franklin County to Lucas Sullivant for inlot 107 on the plan of Franklinton for $35 dated Aug. 3, 1807. Signed by John Lyle (his mark). This lot was adjacent to inlot 68. Unable to locate deed to John Lyle for this lot.

Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly Vol 15, p. 65. ________ 1790 Federal Census of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Eastern Portion of County: John Lisle, 1 male 16 and upward, 2 males under 16, 1 female. This could include John and Rachel and sons Robert and James. In the same census is John Irwin with 2 males 16 and over, 2 males under 16, 1 female. Perhaps this could be Rachel's parents. Unknown whether this is same but it could be. __________ It Happened in Franklin County (a weekly column presented as a public service of the Franklin County Historical Society) The Pioneer Family of John Lisle by Gilbert F. Dodds (From news clipping in possession of Fred J. Milligan - name and date of paper unknown - Gilbert Dodds was director of the Franklin County Historical Society in the 1950s): John Lisle a native of Ireland, when a young man, emigrated to the United States with an older brother settling in Pennsylvania where he married Rachel Irwin. Subsequently he moved to Kentucky and in 1798, with his wife and eight children, emigrated to Ohio and settled at Franklinton. During the year he remained at Franklinton, Mr. Lisle cultivated a piece of land belonging to the founder of Franklinton, Lucas Sullivant. About 1799 Mr. Lisle secured 200 acres of land in Clinton Township and moved his family there. Today his farm would be located on the Olentangy River Road south of Lane Avenue and on the grounds now occupied by the Ohio State University farm. Through his energy and industry, Mr. Lisle was soon cultivating a fine farm and educating his growing family of boys and girls. He passed away on the farm in 1810. His wife survived him but a few years. Robert Lisle the oldest of the family was born Sept 18, 1785, and married Abigail McIntyre. They settled in Clinton Township near the family homestead and farm. Robert and Abigail were the parents of twelve children, John being the oldest. He was born in Clinton Township, December 18, 1810, and moved with his parents to Hamilton Township in 1814. He remained on his father's farm until 23 years of age when he married Eliza Breckenridge, daughter of Robert and Lucy Breckenridge, pioneer settlers of Franklin County. The house they built is still standing today in a good state of preservation on Jackson Pike in Franklin Township. John and Eliza eventually bought a farm in Hamilton Township where they raised a family of four children. There are many descendants of the original John Lisle who are still living in Franklin County. __________ Notes from http://www.vangundy.net/familytree/gp/nti/nti01824.html His name is spelled Lyle and Lysle on some records.

He also entered 160 acres for son, Robert, and a similar tract for son, James. 1799 Moving 3 miles farther north, he took up 200 acres and settled permanently, passing the land to at least the next 3 generations.
