TILL DEATH DO US PART - '04

It is the consensus opinion of the newsletter staff that this section intended for Golden Wedding anniversaries would be better suited as submittals. It is feared that we might not have current data on married couples and that one or more of the spouses recognized might be deceased. Information for this recognition would be appreciated. � editor (p.chenoweth@comcast.net).

OH HAPPY DAY - Redux!

Greg Wulker made a trip to Champaign Co., OH this week and found the detail on three (3) Champaign County land transactions in 1839 that prove the line of Dr Henry S. Chenoweth and Dr John W. Chenoweth as sons of James Francis, son of Thomas, son of John, son of John. William Safley, the uncle of the children of Rebecca Safley Chenoweth, buys land from Benjamin and Margaret Sharp, Jesse and Sarah Tuttle and Henry S. and John W. Chenoweth. Each describes the land as having been received as heirs of Rebecca Chenoweth to the estate of Henry Safley. These transactions very clearly prove that Sarah, Margaret, Henry S. and John W. were children of Rebecca Chenoweth who married James Francis Chenoweth.

This one deed of Henry and John jointly in part reads:

• HS & JW Chenoweth to William Safley � Know all men that . . Henry S. and John W. Chenoweth of the County of Pickaway, Ohio and the State of Arkansas in consideration of One Hundred and sixty dollars in hand paid by William Safley of the County of Champaign (Ohio) hath bargained and sold and hereby grant, bargain, sell and convey unto the said William Safley, his heirs and assigns forward, the following premises estates(?) in the County of Champaign in the State of Ohio and in Goshen Township as follow to wit two twentieth parts of all the real estate and landed property of Henry Safley deceased late of County of Champaign, State of Ohio, aforesaid being the same that was left to us as the heirs at law of Rebecca Chenoweth by the last will and testament of Henry Safley.

JAMES FRANCIS4 CHENOWETH (THOMAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born 1774 in Maryland, and died Bef. 1825. He married (1) REBECCA ROBINA SAFLEY August 20, 1799 in Botetourt Co., VA, daughter of HENRY SAFLEY and MARGARET DUNLAP. She was born November 18, 1784 in Rockingham Co., VA and died February 28, 1813 in Botetourt Co., VA. He married (2) NANCY CRAWFORD November 14, 1813 in Botetourt Co., VA, daughter of WILLIAM CRAWFORD. She was born Bet. 1769-1789 and died Unknown.

Children of JAMES CHENOWETH and REBECCA SAFLEY are:

1. THOMAS5 CHENOWETH, b. Aft 1799
2. MARGARET5 CHENOWETH, b. Aft 1802, Virginia; d. 1853, Ohio; m. BENJAMIN N. THARP, January 10, 1822, Champaign Co., OH; b. Bet. 1787-1804
3. HENRY S.5 CHENOWETH, b. December 13, 1804, Virginia; d. April 19, 1869, Nesosho, Newton Co., MO; m LEVINA FRANCES WHITE, August 26, 1829, Chillicothe, Ross Co., OH; b. 1811, Ohio; d. May 29, 1889, Newton Co., MO
4. SARAH5 CHENOWETH, Abt 1806, Virginia; d. Bef. 1900, Missouri; m. JESSE TUTTLE, February 26, 1834, Champaign Co., OH; b. Abt. 1801, Ohio; d. Bef. 1880
5. JOHN W.5 CHENOWETH, b. December 25, 1807, Virginia; d. October 5, 1874, Grayson Co., TX; m. FRANCES JACKSON RANDLE, September 1, 1831, Madison Co., IL; b. November 20, 1811, Illinois; d. April 24, 1894, Texas.
6. JAMES5 CHENOWETH, b. Aft 1799.

There is a puzzle yet here. Henry divided his property 4 ways between his 2 sons Adam and William and the heirs of his two deceased daughters: Sarah Snodgrass and Rebecca Chenoweth. Son Henry was not included. This means Rebecca's share was 25% and the 3 land transactions covering Sarah, Margaret, Henry S. and John W. are 4/20ths or 20%. There must be one other child, probably Thomas, though I don't know what happened yet to his share. Sarah Margaret, Henry S. and JohnW. sold their shares at $80 each for $320. Adam sold his share to William for $400. Again the $80 difference indicated an additional heir in Rebecca's share.

I assume the Thomas is the Thomas we have who moved down to Virginia from Ohio after he married. This bears further investigation.

Common Pleas Court, 1st of January 1839, Will was produced by William Safley and witnesses John Owens and Hiram Doty, $1100 bond entered by William Safley and Elizabeth Safley, widow. (transcribed by Greg Wulker)

1. I will and bequeath my soul to God who gave it, and my body to its mother earth, to be interred by my living friends in a plain, decent and Christian like manner.
2. I will all my debts, funeral and other expenses be paid out of my estate by my executor.
3. I will and bequeath unto my beloved wife Elizabeth Safley all my household furniture and bedding, one cow of her own choosing, four head of sheep, and one hundred dollars and all my clapboard house.
4. I will and bequeath unto my son William Safley $100, to my son Adam Safley $150 dollars, and to my son Henry Safley $10 dollars to be paid out of my personal estate and the balance of my estate both real and personal, I will to be divided equally between my two sons William and Adam Safley and my two daughters, late Sarah Snodgrass and Rebecca Chenoweth, both deceased which will is to be understood that the legal heirs of said Sarah and Rebecca deceased are to have their deceased mother's interest equally divided amongst them.
5. I hereby nominate, constitue and appoint my son William Safley sole executor, signed Henry Safley dated 3rd of February 1838, witnesses: John Owens and Hiram Doty.

Dear Jon, Greg, et al,

Many, many thanks to all of you who have had a hand in this research! It was such an important project to those of us who were from the "disconnected" line of James Francis Chenoweth. Your persistent, thoughtful work followed a weaving path that resulted in an important piece of Chenoweth scholarship.

And special thanks to you, Jon, for your continuing support and enthusiasm for the researchers and then for keeping the rest of us updated and informed. I loved the progress reports.

I'm popping the top on the champagne I had saved for this event and toasting the health of all those who unearthed and tied together the evidence we needed.

Here's to you!
Your cousin, Jan Cloud

Civil War Remembered

Christmas Evening
December 25th

Mrs. Mollie Chenoweth Weymouth

My dear Madam:

This evening fifteen years ago we met for the first time. You may have forgotten it, but it was a bright spot in a dark epoch of my life and will never be forgotten by me. It was a cold Christmas day and after a long tiresome march I entered Beverly under guard, a prisoner of war, about three o'clock in the afternoon. It was the first time my eyes had ever rested on the old town and I thought at the time, under the peculiar circumstances of my condition, and the feeling of loneliness and despondency which oppressed me, that it was the most desolate looking place that I ever saw.

I was taken up to Gen. Averill's [page 2] headquarters and the General very generously offered to release me on parole for the night if I desired to stay with any of my acquaintances. Alas, I didn't know a single person in the whole town. Verily I was a stranger in a strange land, and I told the General so. At this point the noble, good fellow, Tom Edwards stepped up and told me that he knew a family of Southern people in the place who would be glad to accommodate me and offered to accompany me to the house of your father.

I accepted his offer gladly and as I recall the incident you may remember our appearance when we entered your house late that afternoon. I recollect distinctly as if it had been yesterday, the cordial greeting [page 3] your family gave me, and as we fathered around the bright fire in the grate I felt that for the time I had been permitted to stop in Paradise. I also remember in the same connection the Christmas supper your Mother had prepared for us, particularly the fine fat turkey which your mother informed me she had prepared for the Christmas dinner, but learning that Averill was to reach Beverly that day it occurred to her that perhaps he might have some poor Rebel prisoner with him, and she reserved the turkey with the hope that she might have the gratification of sharing it with some Confederate. I know one Johnny Reb who made her heart glad by eating a memorable meal from that gobbler, but then after supper all of us, your father, mother, yourself and sisters, Tom Edwards and myself, gathered in the cozy little parlor and while the [page 4] cheerful fire glowed and sparkled in the grate in defiance of the storm which raged without, we had a long talk of old times "away down South in Dixie."

I detailed to you a running history of events as they were occurring within the Confederate lines, and you in turn related to me the troubles and difficulties you had to contend with inside the lines of the enemy. I remember, too, how tenderly you spoke of the death of your gallant brother, Maj Chenoweth, who fell at Port Republic. We had a great deal to talk about, of friends in the Southern army, of friends who had refugeed South, of friends who had befriended you when a refugee yourself, and although I remained with you the next day and the next night we didn't get through talking.

Fifteen years have passed since then, but as I sit at my desk tonight writing [page 5] this letter the whole scene rises up before me as inviolate as a thing of the present, and I am fain to permit my mind to dwell there.

But as all bright dreams have their waking to a darker real life, so my pleasant sojourn at your home was cut short, and on the second morning I resumed my march towards a northern prison. I have not forgotten your continued kindness and the pleasant gleams of light, which your letters proved to me, penetrating the gloom of my prison hours at Fort Delaware. I have never ceased to think of you, and as in time to time as opportunity presented I have made inquiries as to yourself and your father's family. I had not learned of your marriage, however, until a few days ago. I received a letter from your husband in which he informed me that his wife was no other than the noble-hearted little woman who so generously contributed to my wants in the days when I [page 6] was "hard up," but I hope that I may be able by my vote and influence to contribute something toward securing the position for your husband, and thus in a small way contribute something in return for the kindness of his wife.

I do not know how old time has served you in all the years that have intervened since the time of our meeting, but I hope you have fared well at his hands. To me they have brought a varied experience, I have had a fierce contest in the battle of life. Wrestling with Fate, sometimes under, but more frequently on top, and taking all in all I have just cause for thankfulness that I have succeeded as well as I have. I am comfortable domiciled with a reasonable share of earthly comfort, have a most excellent wife and three bright little cherubs- two girls and a boy � to gladden our home. For several years I have been in bad health � at one time despaired of ever being well again, but now [page 7] think that I will be restored to the vigor of my younger manhood.

Just think of it � fifteen years have passed by since you took me beneath the shelter of your home, and it seems as but a day ago. I was a boy then, and now am settled down into mature manhood-taking a retrospect of the years that are gone. What numberless pictures hang on the walls of the Past! In some respects the years have proved hard teacher � in others, they picture to me "faces beaming with many a smile from the bowels of memory's magical isle." As I call up these forms from the tomb of the vanquished years what varied shadows they cast on memory's wall. There are pictures of bitter pain, ashen memories, and crushed hopes. There are recollections of strong passions and wild ambitions when the heart of the child is crushed in the breast of the struggling man; but, there are also other pictures more blessed one, pictures of quiet, peace, and domestic love: and joys arising from faith and truth: kisses of children on cheek and lip: and there [page 8] is also a tender one thru all, it is a little grave, and a mourning for the pressure of tender life and the light of eyes darkened in death's eclipse.

In the quiet of my room this Xmas night I have lived over again the Christmas of fifteen years ago � 1863 � and the years that have followed, but I know that I am wearying you so I will close.

I hope Mrs Weymouth (I can hardly resist saying Miss Mollie) that your future may be bright and happy, and when the death shadows at last shut out the light of life may you find shelter in that home where neither storms, nor war, nor even death can come. And may you then find the full joy and truth of the Scripture. "Even as you have (done) it unto one of these little ones ye have done it unto me,"

Mrs Moffett joins me in best wishes, and we have that both of us may yet meet you and thank you in person for your kindness to me � Always your friend.

Geo. Moffett

BOOK REVIEW

Though not a literary critic, I do enjoy a good book. Every now and then I prefer something other than a "classic". I recently purchased one of those "other" books and even though the reason I purchased was because it was written by my cousin, James Harvey Chenoweth, Jr, I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in law enforcement.

James, born of missionary parents on the Chinese-Tibetan border in 1922, was a police officer, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal, a Treasury agent and a Congressional investigator. His latest book, "Down Darkness Wide.", tells of his exploits as one of the last frontier US Marshal's in the Third Judicial Division in the Territory of Alaskan, from 1951 to its becoming a state in 1960.
