| 1952 | "PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY " by Larkin From the "Leader," by Mr. Charles Matthews, Washington, D.C., February, 1908: "Daniel and Timothy Smith, with their brother-in-law, Bradbury Robinson, came from Vermont in 1805. With their fam- ilies, household goods, wagons and stock, they floated down the Ohio river, stopping at Belpre, Big Hocking and Leading creek. The party, after looking at land and visiting the settle- ments, concluded to separate. Timothy Smith and family were landed at Silver run, while Daniel Smith and their brother-in-law, having purchased their brother's share in the boat, floated down the river to Cincinnati. Timothy Smith was PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY 148 born in 1770, and married Polly Conner, who was born in 1772. They had seven children, as follows: Charlotta Smith, born May 24th, 1797, and married Elias Jones in October, 1814; she died October 4th, 1871. John Adams Smith, born February 22nd, 1800, and married Deborah Paine, November 22nd, 1822; he died January 10th, 1840. Elizabeth Smith, born January 9th, 1802, and married John S. Giles June 7th, 1818; she died November 8th, 1842. Sarah Smith, born July 10th, 1804, and married Obadiah Ralph, September 19th, 1822; she died Feb- ruary 3rd, 1875. Anselin Smith, born in 1806, and died in 1816. Timothy Smith, Jr., born 1810, and died at the age of nine months. Mary Smith, born December 19th, 1812, and married Moses R. Matthews, April 10th, 1831; she died De- cember 24th, 1893. Timothy Smith erected one of the first grist mills in the county. It was a tread mill, run by horse power, located on the bank of Silver Run. He also mined the first coal, shipping to Cincinnati on a raft. John Adams Smith, above mentioned, was the man arrested by Virginia officials and confined in Point Pleasant jail for running off slaves, and was rescued by his Ohio friends in 1824, described in the paper by John S. Giles, Jr., so ably for the Pioneer Society and published in the "Telegraph" in 1875. "In 1823 Hamilton Kerr, living at the mouth of Leading creek, employed Adams Smith to act as guide for eight col- ored men who were on their way to Canada, a not infrequent occurrence for colored persons made free by their masters to pass through the country on their way to Canada. So Mr. Smith escorted the colored men to Columbus as hired by Mr. Kerr, with no thought of wrong doing. The fact was that Kerr had given aid to colored people, bond or free, to go north. Slave owners on the Kanawha and on the Ohio river above Point Pleasant had organized for protection and sent out de- tectives on both sides of the river. They concluded that Smith was guilty of aiding escaped slaves. In October, 1824, four 149 PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY men from Virginia arrested Smith without authority of a war- rant or law and took him by force into Virginia, and placed him in close confinement in the jail at Point Pleasant, refusing bail for him. This gross violation of the most sacred rights of the citizens of Ohio, showing such contempt for the state's jurisdiction that it excited universal indignation, and open vio- lence was threatened to release Smith from his illegal confine- ment. Many good citizens of Ohio, who had no disposition to interfere with their Virginia neighbors in holding slaves, had no doubt often unconsciously aided slaves many times in giv- ing them food or answering questions as to the points of com- pass when the traveling black man appeared at their doors, so it was argued that if one man, like Smith, upon whom suspi- cion had fallen, could be picked up without form of law and carried beyond the jurisdiction of the state and there impris- oned without the right of bail for a supposed criminal offense, what security was there for others equally exposed? This argument had its effect upon the excited people, and to the formation of a vigilance committee, with regular station sig- nals from Colonel Jones' landing, where the Grant's mill stood, in Middleport, and from Smith's landing at the mouth of Sil- ver run out to where John S. Giles lived in Rutland. So per- fect was the arrangement that by the sound of horns trans- mitted from station to station, an alarm would circulate over the route in fifteen minutes if any suspicious person or com- pany were seen at any of these points. Smith had been de- tained at Point Pleasant jail six weeks, during which time a plan had been matured to effect his release by force. John S. Giles had visited him in jail, ostensibly to take him clothing, but in fact to notify him of the arrangement and to be ready at any moment. Information that was considered reliable came from Point Pleasant of a plot to murder Smith in jail. It was said that one of the Wagners had put one of his slaves in the jail with Smith, who, in consideration of his freedom, was to commit the murder. On receipt of this information hasty PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY 150 preparations were made to carry into effect the plan for Smith's release. "It was secretly arranged that Martin Meeker, William Hatch, John Woods, David Tyler, Obediah Ralph, William Terry, Charles Giles and John S. Giles to meet on the bank of the river at the mouth of Silver run on the evening of a day in November, 1824. These men were noted among the early set- tlers for their coolness, courage and great physical strength and activity. They had taken the greatest precaution in with- drawing from their homes without the knowledge of other members of their families. All were armed to the teeth with hunting rifles, pistols. One carried a flint lock musket loaded with seven rifle bullets, another carried a dragoon or horse- pistol loaded with three rifle bullets. They agreed on their plan and chose John S. Giles as commander, and, having dis- guised themselves by blacking their faces, they embarked in an old pirogue and with muffled oars floated down the river on their perilous adventure. It was known that the jail at Point Pleasant was strongly guarded, but these men, smarting under the outrage of their rights as citizens of Ohio, and aroused to resentment by the frequent taunts of Yankee cowardice hurled at them because they did not come and 'take Smith out,' as they had threatened to do, with fears for the imminent danger of the prinoner's life, had become desperate in their purposes. The little craft was urged forward by the long, dull strokes of the oars and landed eleven miles below at Point Pleasant. The jail was a two-story frame building, standing about fifty yards from the river bank, with two rooms below and two rooms above. The front entrance opened into the jailer's room on the lower floor, from which therewas a passage into the other lower room, occupied as the jail. An outside stairs led to the rooms on the second floor, at the top of which was a platform, surrounded by bannisters and was used as a guard stand. The room at the head of the stairs was called the 'debtor's room.' On this occasion it was occupied by the guards, whose num- 151 PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY ber had been increased to four men after the visit Of Mr. John S. Giles. Without a word the attacking party divided, to make a simultaneous assault on the jailer's room and upon the upper room occupied by the guards. Meeker and Lyles reached the guards' room, where they succeeded so as to find an entrance for the muzzles of their guns, but the four guards inside held the door, but the action in placing the guns was menacing enough to restrain for a few minutes the guardmen, while the work in the lower room was in progress. First into the jail- or's room, who was in bed, and just wakened, he was kept quiet by the presence of guns pointing close to him, while with an ax the prison door was broken down, and Smith jerked out of bed half asleep, and pushed through the door. The object of the raid having been effected so far, and no one hurt, they made haste to retreat and reach the boat as soon as pos- sible. But the guards were out on the platform. Woods, with his dragoon's pistol, fired; the gun failed, but his au- dacity kept the guard back, thus enabling the party to gain time in advance of their pursuers, for the jailer, as well as the guard, were bold, brave men, and followed with such deter- mined steps that the order was, given to fire on the pursuing force. Terry fired with his musket and hit one of the guard, who fell, the ball having marked his ear and cut through his whiskers. Thus hindered, but while the Giles men were get- ting into their boat, the guardsmen stood on the top of the bank not more than forty yards away and began to fire. Dis- regarding the firing they pulled for the opposite shore until near the middle of the river when balls began to strike the boat with precision. The boat was turned broadside to the shore and the men lay close down in the side of the vessel un- til out of range of the firing, all but Tyler, who refused to obey this command to shelter himself, and received a ball across the lower part of his breast that made a scar four or five inches long. While holding the boat in this position and floating down stream, out of the range of guns, the jailer had PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY 152 taken a position behind a sycamore on the edge of the bank, and his shots were very annoying. His head looked like a knot on the side of the tree. And Hatch, the marksman of the company, was ordered to fire at the knot. He shot, and the ball, striking the side of the tree, filled the jailer's eyes with splinters. When reaching the Ohio shore, the boat was aban- doned, and the men walked home, and before daylight crept to their beds so quietly that the members of their several households were not aware of their having been away or ab- sent. The Virginians suspicioned John Woods, John S. Giles and Elisha Ayers, as three of the party that had broken the jail in Point Pleasant, and threats were heard of taking these men to Virginia, as they did Smith, and lynching them. This was not done. A more peaceful and lawful way was adopted, by seeking redress for their wrongs in the power of the law. Indictments were found at Point Pleasant against Woods, Ayers and Giles, and the Governor of Virginia made requisi- tion on the Governor of Ohio for the surrender of the parties to the Virginia authorities. The Governor of Ohio issued his warrant and deputized Col. Lewis, of Virginia, to serve it. When Col. Lewis crossed the river to make the arrests, the people unaware of his authority, prepared to make a defense. Col. Lewis went directly to Chester, the county seat of Meigs county, and called to his assistance Thomas Rairdon, of Long Bottom, Deputy Sheriff Newsom and Constable Dickey, of Chester township. They went to make the first arrest of John S. Giles in Rutland and satisfied him of their authority, and he went without resistance, but they had not proceeded half a mile, when twelve men in disguise stepped out of the woods on Sargent's hill and demanded Giles' release. After some parlaying, Giles convinced them of the authority from the Governor of the State that this was a legal transaction, and he was willing to let the law take its course, and they concluded to acquiesce. Among the men who were about to interfere were John Sylvester, Sr., Joshua Gardner, David Tyler and 153 PIONEER HISTORY OF MEIGS COUNTY Burrell Peck. Giles, Woods and Ayres were taken to Point Pleasant and lodged in jail, where they remained two months before they were tried. Giles and Ayres were found "not guilty," but Woods was pronounced guilty and fined thirty dollars, which he refused to pay, or allow his friends to pay, and boarded it out in jail, refusing to leave until they would keep him no longer. Judge Summers, of Charleston, presided at the trial, which was a perfectly fair one. Judie Clough, of Portsmouth, and Judge Fisher, of Point Pleasant, were attorneys for the defendants. There was no evidence whatever against Ayres, and none against Giles except the testimony of the jailer's wife, who swore positively to his being one of the party that broke into the room, but the jury was led to distrust her statement by the strong evidence of an alibi proven by the defendant. Polly Smith, a sister to Adams Smith, and afterwards the wife of Moses Matthews, a girl then of twelve years, and Col. Everett also gave strong evidence for the defendants which was all owing to the sly movements of the party in coming and going. After the conviction of Woods, the defendants made a point that it was only a misdemeanor punishable by a fine and imprisonment in the county jail, and the court concurred in that opinion. A number of persons were presented to the grand jury of Meigs county for interfering with Col. Lewis when making arrests. Some were indicted but the evidence was not strong enough to warrant a conviction. John S. Giles, Sr., was born in Maine, February 28th, 1795, and died in Rutland, O., May 18th, 1889, aged 86 years, 2 months and 20 days." | SMITH, Timothy (I6074)

| 1957 | "Rust of Virginia" William Rust of Yeocomico, Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, Virginia. . . His arrival in the Colony of Virginia appears to have been about 1650, probably somewhat earlier. . . .witness to a will in 1654. 10/25/1661, William Rust and wife Anne deed a piece of property to Mary Cole. 6/13/1677, Wm Rust is discharged on "Ye Good Behavior" which would indicate that he or one of his name had participated in Bacon's Rebellion. A William Rust, in 1676, took part in Bacon's Rebellioon, an uprising growing out of the annoying and oppressive conditions which surrounded the develoopment of the Colony of Virginia. The Westmoreland records show in the succeeding months the action taken against the "rebels" of that county. . . . Among these eleven [men] are William RUST and William RUSH, the latter of whom lived in the extreme northern part of the large county. This is further convincing evidence that William RUSH and William RUST are not identical. 7/23/1661, a William Ruske made guardian of Jane Medcalfe, orphan of William Medcalfe, dec'd. William Being described as having married the sister of Jane. On the same day, William Ruske served on a jury, and at the time, Virginia law required "jurors shall be chosen of the most able men of the county." Hence, William Ruske should have been a legal resident of Northumberland county, but the author found no other mention of such a man, and concluded that the name should have been recorded as Rust, not Ruske. William Rust appears to have been well educated fot the time, for unlike many of his neighbors and intimats, he always signed documents with his signature, never by mark. The will of William Rust, Westmoreland Co, VA, Nov 29, 1699, contains only the first paragraph. The court record reads, in part: "The last Will and Testament of Wm Rust decd was this day produced in Court and Jno Tanner & Simon Robins severally deposed that they see the said Wm Rust Signe Seale and declare the same to bee his last Will & Testam't and that hee was of perfect sence & memory at the same tyme to the best of their Judm's. A probate was grtd Sam'll & George Rust Executors therin named and the Will ordered to be Recorded." "Rust and Allied Families" by Eunice Plunkett Mesmer, 1939 The exact date of birth of Wiliam Rust is not known, but it is places at about 1625, as he was married before 1662. The first mention of the name in Virginia is found in 1650 in the earlier annals of Cople Parish in Westmoreland County. William had two brothers, Henry and John, of which little is known. Some of the records of the activities of William Rust at that early date are: 1670, May 25, acknowledges deed for Mary Cole 1673-74, February 22, deed, Nicholas Jones to William Rust. 1699, November 29, will (missing) proved, naming sons Samuel and George Rust, executors William Rust was married first to Anne Metcalfe and second to Matilda, the widow of Samuel Earle, Sr. 1662, May 17, (Northumverland Co) Anne Rust appoints her friend, Samuel Bonam, her attorney to acknowledge for her a land transfer to William Landman, 1673, Oct 27, deed, Samuel Earle to Anne, wife of William Rust. 1693, Sept 27, Samuel Earle, Sr, acknowledges conveyance of land to William Rust, St, and wife 1697, Nov 24, William Rust married Matilda Earle (sometime after this date). She married again (beofre July 25, 1705), John Bennett. | Family F955

A Revolutionary soldier who was the first settler at Muses Bottom in 1811; believed to have been the first white settler in Grant district. He died in 1810. (Date of settlement was 1807, not 1811. . drh) His son, John Jr, is listed in Mason County Tax Lists for 1811-14 and census for 1820. There seems to have been three John Dewitts in that area of the county at that time. ~~~ This sketch taken from "Pioneers of Jackson County", by John House, it appears in the Section "Lower Sandy Valley". Dewitt Family The first settler at Muse's Bottom was John DeWitt (some of the old settlers pronounce it Doo-it), who built the first cabin, in 1807. Soon after, Thomas DeWitt, John Powers, Thomas Coleman, Ellis Nesselrode, and John Boso came. It is not at all certain that these parties all came the same year, but they were all among the very early pioneers. Where the DeWitts were from is not given, but the name recurs several times in the early history of Mill creek and Sandy, and parties of the same name are still to be found in Grant District. | Family F215
