| 1 | Peter Imel was one of the Hessians. When Peter and several of his brothers came over to America, he was only 12 years old. Peter, and his brothers, deserted from the Hessians and joined forces with the Colonists. He was a drummer with General Morgan's Virginia Riflemen and fought the Revolutionary War against those that had hired him and sent him over. After the war, he settled in Virginia, married and had 13 children. He married Susanna Pul in Frederick, MD on August 12, 1787 at the Evangelist Lutheran Church. He relocated his family to Indiana sometime between 1810-1820. In 1820, the family was living in Wayne County, Indiana. Peter Imel and his family would have been the first Imels in Indiana. It is believed that his son George moved to Johnson County and Peter was living with his son, George, just prior to his death.Peter's son, George was a soldier in the War of 1812.Peter Imel died in the home of his son, George, near Fairland and was buried in the family plot on George's farm. In 1940, three of his great-grandsons moved Peter's body to this cemetery, six miles away from its original resting place. He was buried in a grave with his son, George. There are actually five bodies in this one grave. Legend has it that when they searched for all the bodies, they could only find a few bones. So, all five bodies were probably buried in this one grave. | Imel, Peter (I1234)

| 3 | Reuben Proctor, Warren County, November 12, 1877.— The lynching of Reuben Proctor was prevented on November 12, 1877, because of the strength of the jail at Indianola. The jail was stormed for several hours and finally the mob gave up and left, thinking they could not break open the door. If they had known it, only a little further effort would have made it successful as the door was almost ready to give way . when they ceased. Proctor had been confined for assault. Miss Augusta Cading, the victim, died a little later, and as he was on trial another mob succeeded in lynching him. | Proctor, Reuben B (I321)

| 14 | William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Old Norse: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót) (c. 900 – 942) was the second "Duke of Normandy" until his assassination. The title duke (dux) did not come into common usage until the eleventh century and has been anachronistically applied to early Norman rulers. William was known at the time by the title count (Latin comes) of Rouen although Flodoard—always detailed about titles—consistently referred to both Rollo and his son William as principes (chieftains) of the Norse. William was born 'overseas' to the Viking Rollo, while he was still a pagan, and his Christian wife Poppa of Bayeux. Dudo of Saint-Quentin in his panegyric of the Norman dukes describes Poppa as the daughter of a count Beranger, the dominant prince of that region. In the 11th century Annales Rouennaises (Annals of Rouen), she is called the daughter of Guy, Count of Senlis, otherwise unknown to history. Despite the uncertainty of her parentage she was undoubtedly a member of the Frankish aristocracy. According to the William's planctus, he was baptized a Christian probably at the same time as his father, which Orderic Vitalis stated was in 912 and by Franco, Archbishop of Rouen. William succeeded Rollo (who was still alive) in 927 and, early in his reign, faced a rebellion from Normans who felt he had become too Gallicised and too soft. According to Orderic Vitalis, the leader was Riouf of Evreux. At the time of this rebellion William sent his pregnant wife Sprota to Fécamp where their son Richard was born. In 933, William I Longsword recognized Raoul as King of Western Francia, who was struggling to assert his authority in Northern France. In turn Raoul gave him lordship over much of the lands of the Bretons including Avranches and the Cotentin. Resistance to the Normans was led by Alan Wrybeard, Duke of Brittany and Count Berenger of Rennes but ended shortly with Alan fleeing to England and Beranger seeking reconciliation. In 935, William contracted a marriage between his sister Adela (Gerloc was her Norse name) and William, count of Poitou with the approval of Hugh the Great. At the same time William married Luitgarde, daughter of Count Herbert II of Vermandois whose dowry gave him the lands of Longueville, Coudres and Illiers l'Eveque.] In addition to supporting king Raoul, he was now a loyal ally of his father-in-law, Herbert II, both of whom his father Rollo had opposed. The funerary monument of William Longsword in the cathedral of Rouen, France. The monument is from the 14th century. William Longsword attacked Flanders in 939 and Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Louis IV, King of France retaliated by attacking Normandy. Arnulf captured the castle of Montreuil-sur-Mer expelling Herluin, Count of Ponthieu. Herluin and William Longsword cooperated to retake the castle. William was excommunicated for his actions in attacking and destroying several estates belonging to Arnulf. William pledged his loyalty to King Louis IV when they met in 940 and, in return, he was confirmed in lands that had been given to his father, Rollo. Almost three years later, on 17 December 942 at Picquigny on the Somme, William Longsword was ambushed and killed by followers of Arnulf while at a peace conference to settle their differences. | Normandy, William of (I1403)

| 16 | An English courtier, soldier and politician. He sat in the House of Commons from 1621 to 1622 and became Earl of Dorset in 1624. He fought a duel in his early life, and was later involved in colonisation in North America. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. He was awarded MA at Cambridge University and was incorporated at Oxford from Cambridge on 9 July 1616. In Aug 1613 he became notorious by killing in a duel Edward Bruce, 2nd Lord Kinloss. The duel concerned Venetia Stanley, a society beauty and a granddaughter of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby. The meeting took place on a piece of ground purchased for the purpose two miles from Bergen-op-Zoom, Netherlands, which even in 1814 was known as Bruceland. Sackville was run through the body and lost a finger while attempting to disarm Kinloss, but ultimately dispatched his opponent with two thrusts to the chest. Though gravely wounded, Sackville survived, but Venetia Stanley ultimately married Sir Kenelm Digby who after his marriage maintained friendly relations with Sackville, referring to him as the ‘Mardontius’ in his memoirs. Sackville sent, in self-justification, a long narrative from Louvain, dated 8 September 1613, with copies of Bruce's challenges. | Sackville, Edward 4th Earl of Dorset (I2405)

| 17 | Born in 1579 or 1580 in Lincolnshire, England, John Smith eventually made his way to America to help govern the British colony of Jamestown. After being saved from death by Pocahontas, he established trading agreements with native tribes. With his governing tactics called into question, he returned to England in 1609 and became a staunch advocate of colonization via his published works. After a merchant’s apprenticeship, Smith decided on a life of combat and served with the English Army abroad. Working as a soldier for hire (and professing to be highly successful in his military ventures), Smith embarked on a campaign against France’s Henry IV and later against the Turks in Hungary. There he was captured and enslaved. He was sent to what is now Istanbul and served a kindhearted mistress who, not wanting Smith to be her slave, sent him to her brother’s home, where he was forced to do farm work. After receiving harsh treatment from his master, Smith killed him and escaped, eventually returning to England in the early 1600s. Jamestown Settlement Smith then came to meet with Capt. Bartholomew Gosnold, who was involved with organizing a colony sponsored by the Virginia Company of London that would be sent to America. Smith was made part of a multi-person council that would govern the group, whose purpose was to generate profit in the form of mineral wealth and goods. The voyagers set sail at the end of 1606. But during the trip, Smith was allegedly accused of mutiny and almost hanged. Managing to stay alive yet placed into custody, he arrived with the group at Chesapeake Bay in April 1607. The settlement was named Jamestown and would eventually be known as the first permanent British North American colony. Yet initially the population dwindled as colonists succumbed to starvation and disease. And the settlers were not alone, as they were attempting to claim a region that was home to multiple Native American communities, later understood to be part of the Powhatan Confederacy. Released from custody weeks after arrival, Smith helped overturn the leadership of colony president Edward Wingfield. Working with new president John Ratcliffe, Smith was tasked with overseeing the barter of food from the surrounding native tribes. He had also started to explore the region, which would later be detailed in publications. In an expedition along the Chickahominy River, Smith was captured by a native band and taken to Algonquin chief Wahunsonacock, whom the English referred to as Powhatan. It is said that Powhatan's 12-year-old daughter, Pocahontas, rushed to save Smith from being killed as he was held down. After this, Powhatan regarded Smith as a figurative "son," granting him territory while having expectations of allegiance and mutual protection. | Smith, Captain John (I136)

| 24 | Daniel Parke Custis died intestate, so his widow received the lifetime use of one-third of his property ("dower share"), with the other two-thirds held in trust for their children. The January 1759 Custis Estate inventory lists 285 enslaved Africans.[1] The October 1759 Custis Estate inventory lists 17,779 acres (71.95 km2) of land, spread over 5 counties.[2] John Parke Custis was the only one of their children to reach his majority, and became the sole heir. Upon her marriage to George Washington, the dower share, including the "dower negroes," came under Washington's control, pursuant to the common law doctrine of seisin jure uxoris, but upon his death, reverted to her, and then, upon her death, to her first husband's children. Because of Martha Washington's "dower share" (which included 153 enslaved Africans in 1799), the Custis Estate was not liquidated until after her 1802 death. | Curtis, Col Daniel Parke (I1208)

| 30 | Elizabeth was definitely related to the Sluss family who were massacred by Shawnee Indians on 2 Aug 1774. Whether or not she was a daughter or a niece, is in question. There are two accounts of the Sluss family massacre, one that states that she was a cousin, who lived nearby, and one that states that she was a daughter who was away. The massacre of the Sluss family occurred at Sharon Springs, in Bland Co., near the present village of Ceres, Va., August 2, 1774. It was the year of the Indian uprising, known as "Lord Dunmore's War", and just two months prior to the famous battle at Point Pleasant. In every account there is no mention of an Elizabeth, which makes me believe that she was a cousin. Her father has long been known as Frederick. She appears as a widow in the 1810 Wythe County census. In the 1850 Smythe County Virginia Census, at age 85 she was living with a John. Elizabeth was living in Smythe County when she applied for a Revolutionary War widow's pension, at 87 years of age. She was denied the pension due to lack of proof of Peter's service. | Sluss, Sarah Solome (I2300)

| 37 | He had all of the advantages of the local "log cabin" school, which is to say not much in pioneer North Carolina. He certainly made the most of it for we find more mention of his name than that of any other Paschal of that ear. His name is on numerous legal papers; he was constable, sheriff, J.P. and stand-in lawyer for all kinds of proceedings. In addition to all of this he seems to have erected a water mill on Smith Creek and this was perhaps his main occupation. | Paschall, Dennis (I404)

| 40 | Historical Account of Elizabeth Taylor, mother of Elizabeth Ann Taylor Driggs Criddle, as recorded in the Book of Remembrance of Fred G. Taylor. Elizabeth Patrick Taylor was born in the state of Virginia on Dec. 9 1793, daughter of John Patrick and Sarah Kendrick. She was of Irish Descent and is thought to be of the live of the old American family of Patrick. She was a large robust woman of sandy complextion and was strong and fearless. She had two sisters, Nancy and Polly, and eight brothers. She moved with her family froom Virginia to Kentucky and it was at Bowling Green, in Warren County, Kentucky, that she married William Taylor. She lived in harmony with him until the time of his death in 1839. She birth to fourteen children, seven daughters, and seven sons. Their names were; John, Allen, Julia Ann, Mary Ann, Louisa, Elizabeth Ann, Sarah Kendrick Best, Joseph Pleasant Green, William Warren, Levi, Nancy Jane, Amanda Malvina, and James Caldwell. In 1830 she left Kentucky and with her husband and children moved into Monroe County, Missouri, which at this time was a wilde country of unbroken land over which roamed the savage indian and many wild animals but she fearlessly accepted the hardships of the frontier and set her stregth to the task of subduing the wilderness. In the spring of 1834 when her husband accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ, she too, was baptized and she became a devoted worker in the cause. Through all of the persecutions that the church endured she stood steadfast. She gave up one home after another, sacrificing the comforts and blessings of her heath and fireside in order to be with the saints. Being of a domestic turn of mind she took great pride in making her home a pleasant place in which to live. Through her thrift and she was able to surround her family with many little home comforts and to prepare for them nourishing and appetizing meals. Her skilled fingers spun the yarn from which she afterwards made suits of clothing for her husband and sons. At one time they were forced to leave their home hurriedly under stress of mob violence, and cutting the cloth from her loom she carried it with her, neveer seeing the loom again. At another time in the journeying they met an old couple who were greived because their best horse had died, leaving them stranded. Without hesitation she permitted her husband to unhitch her favorite mare from his own wagon and gave it to the old couple and told them to continue their way in peaace. During the winter of 1836 while the saints were camped in the streets of Farr West, more than once Elizabeth prepared food and carried it to the Prophets friends who were held captive in prison. Some of the mob came and tried to persuade her daughters to run away with them, telling the gorls they would be destroyed if they stayed with the saints. Elizabeth tok a long stick from the fire and in no uncertain manner quickly drove the man from her camp. They did not return. Possibly the hardest trial she had to endure in those early days was the loss of her faithful and devoted husband. They had workes and sacrificed together through many long years. He passed away in September 1839 while they were journeying from Missouri to Illinois, having been expelled from their home in the State of Missouri. They had been driven out and robbed so many times that the family were in destitute circumstances. Some of the older children helped her with the support of the family but, even though times were so perilous, she had no fear, she was reaady to take up the burden where he had laid it down. A short time after her husbands death a Mr. Gillum came and offered Elizabeth forty acres of good land if she would stay in Missouri after the saints were driven out. It was no temptation to her. She scorned his offer and journeyed with the saints to Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois. They had been robbed of the possesions and now were detitue. President Joseph Smith gave them a city lot and they built a log house on it. All of the children who wwwere at home worked unitedly together for the support of the family. By the force of her strong character, she hedl the family together not withstanding the great hardships through thich they passed and they all remained with the church and all came to Utah except Sarak Kendrick Best who remained in Iowa and John. Elizabeth Taylor was in Nauvoo when the prophet went to Carthage to his doom. After the tragedy she and her son and daughter went to the carthage jail and saw the blood on the floor. She was present at the meeting when the "mantle of Jospeh" fell upon Brigham Young and, like the others, she thought that Jospeh had been resurrected and had returned to lead his people. On the 26th of January in 1846, she and three of her children were permitted to go into the Nauvoo temple and receive their endowments. It was a great trial for the saints to have to give up their sacred Temple, their home to very dear to them, and their beautiful city of Nauvoo, but when the Govenor ordered them to leave, Elizabeth was one of the first to begin the long trek across the western plains. She drove her own ox team, going as far as Council Bluffs that year, and in May, 1849 she went on into the Salt Lake Valley. She made her first home in Utah at Kaysville. Her boys were good farmers and made a good home for her. She took part in all the homely pioneer tasks so essential to a well ordered home of those days, spinning, weaving, knitting, sewing, cooking, cleaning, and many other labors, great and small. During the last years of her life, she lived in the home of her son Pleasant Green Taylor, in Harrisville. On October 25, 1880, she passed on to her well-earned rest at the age of 887 years and 10 months. To the end of her life she was true to the memory of her loving husband and to the faith that had proven to be a staff for her hand and light to her path through all the years. | Patrick, Elizabeth (I2617)
