ROSS COUNTY OBITUARIES
SAMUEL WILKINS
Samuel Buress Wilkins was born in the state of
Delaware on the 15th day of
April, 1808 and died at his residence in Ross County,
O., three miles south of
New Holland, on the 12th of Feb., 1888, being in th
80th year of his life.
When a boy eight years old, his parents emigrated
to the state of Ohio, bringing their
son with them. They settled in that section of Ross
Co. called Egypt. Here he grew to
manhood. The country was mostly unchanged and but little
better than a wilderness. He
formed the acquaintance of Miss Nancy McCafferty, who
lived near Frankfort, and
on the 7th day of November 1830, they were married;
the Rev. Adam Poe, of
precious memory, performing the ceremony.
After their marriage, they lived for about three
years, near Frankfort, when they moved
to Twin. Here they lived for 20 years, then they moved
to the place on which he died.
He was one of the Ross county pioneers.
Bro. and sister Wilkins by their marriage, had nine
children, four of that number are
dead. Three of the five living, reside in Ross county
near him and two are in Kansas.
In the year 1828, he was converted to God and
united with the M.E. church under the
administration of Rev. F. Wilson, of which he was a
consistent and honored member till
death. During the period of his membership he
performed honest and faithful works for
the Master; in the church, he filled the offices of
Class Leader, Steward and Trustee to
the satisfaction of all the brethren of the Quarterly
Conference of which he was a
member for many years, being a member of the church 64
years. He loved the church
of his choice and his prayer was for her prosperity.
His life was such as to bring no
reproach on the cause of his Master. He was a reader
of the Western Christian
Advocate. For some time past he has been a sufferer,
but he recognized this as a part
of the lot of humanity and bore all with Christian
resignation and becometh a "good
soldier of Christ," manifesting a willingness to
"suffer as well as to do the will of the
Lord."
When on last Sunday, the Lord saw it was enough and
the messenger of death came,
his disembodied spirit took its flight to the Mansion
prepared for it. Bro. Wilkins was
fully prepared and patiently waiting the coming of his
Lord. He died as he had lived in
the Lord. His faith to the last was clear and strong,
his hope was an anchor to the soul
already cast into that which is within the veil.
Bro. Wilkins as a husband was devoted and loving;
as a father affectionate and tender;
as a neighbor and citizen he was kind and upright. He
leaves a widow, five children, a
number of relatives and friends to mourn his
departure. His funeral services were held
at Brown's Chapel and the remains were laid away to
rest in the cemetery at the
Chapel.
"In hope of a glorious resurrection and
eternal life to come through our Lord Jesus
Christ." -- R.W.

Children of John (the Bear Hunter) CutrightChildren of
"The Bear Hunter"
By John O Cutright
The
descendents of John and Elizabeth have spread
to the four corners of this
country; however, the major concentrations of
the descents are in
Ross Co. Ohio and central Illinois. The
obituary said
John and Elizabeth were the
parents of 12 children. Only 10 are known at
this time.
There is
a single page document called "The
Cutright Bible"
which lists 10 children
and then goes on to to list the children of
John " the
Deer Hunter" Cutright.
The known
children of John and Elizabeth were the
following:
The 1st child was
Elizabeth Cutright who was born
January 1, 1776. She was
probably born at their home on the South Branch of
the Potomac near present Moorefield
WV, and named for her mother.
Elizabeth traveled with her
parents to the West Fork of the Monongahela and
then in 1789 to Kentucky where she married
Alexander Ramsay in 1792 in
Lexington Kentucky.
Alexander had been born on board a ship when
his parents were immigrating
from Ireland. The family went to Virginia.
One time Alexanders'
father, John Ramsay, was chased by
Indians. He got away from
them but was so exhausted and over
heated then drank a great deal of
water and died.
Alexander was a blacksmith. In about 1800
Elizabeth,
Alexander, and their three
children followed her parents to Ross Co. Ohio.
Elizabeth died in about 1810 in
Ross Co. Elizabeth and Alexander had 8
children.
Their 1st born was Polly who was born
in about 1793. She married
Henry Shaner in 1816 in Ross
Co. They came to Cumberland Co. Ill. in
about 1840.
Polly and Henry Shaner were living
southwest of Union Center in
1851 when there was a cholera
epidemic in the area. Polly died of cholera.
Everyone was so afraid of the
disease that 2 of the neighbors, Uriah
and David Walling,
wrapped her in the bed clothes and buried her
in a
field near the house. A rail
fence was built around the grave. Years later the
Timothy road was built through
the field. For many years the road went
around the grave and fence.
Finally the fence rotted down and road was
straightened and now runs over
the grave.
Polly and Henry
Shaner had a son named John who
was born in about 1820 in Ross
Co. In 1845 he married Rachel Cutright
who was a daughter on John (
the Deer Hunter) Cutright. A daughter named
Elizabeth was born on June 21,
1821 in Ross Co. She married John Cutright
lll, a son of of John (the Deer
Hunter) Cutright in 1848.
Elizabeth is believed
to have died in about 1810, and is probably
buried at Hill cemetery.
The second
child was Mary Cutright who was born on December 2, 1778,
probably at their home on the South Branch of
the Potomac. Nothing else is
known about her. She is presumed to have died
while she was young.
The 3rd child
was Catherine Cutright who was born on August 19, 1780,
probably at their home on the South Branch of
the
Potomac. She married Col. John
McDonald on 2/5/1799 in Ross Co. Ohio. John
was a frontier woodsman,
boatman, surveyor, Indian fighter, pioneer settler,
veteran of the War of 1812, state
Senator from Ross Co., and the
author of "Western
Sketches". His father was William McDonald who was a
soldier in the Revolution. John was an
associate of Simon Kenton, and
Nathaniel Massie.
His sister married Duncan McArthur. John and
Cathreine
had 8 children--7 girls and one
boy.
Their son John
Cutright McDonald, married Hannah
Teter who was the granddaughter
of Captain Samuel Teter--a hero of the
Revolution.
John was a lawyer, Sheriff of Ross
Co., veteran of the Civil
War, and State Senator
from Ross Co. John and Hannah had a son
William H.
McDonald who became a lawyer in
1862. He came to Charleston Illinois in
about 1864, then moved to
Toledo, then East St. Louis, back to Ohio, and
finally in 1880 he returned to
Greenup, Illinois where he set up a law
office. William had a son named
John McDonald who edited a newspaper in
Greenup called "The Rising
Sun" for several years.
One of their
daughters, Mary Teter McDonald,
married David Core. They had a
child Kenton Core, named for Simon Kenton. Kent
was Captured in the Civil Was.
He was paroled but couldn't fight any more.
He came to Illinois during the
last of the war. He traveled from Ohio to
Illinois many times over the
next 50 years. Catherine died on March
22, 1850 and is buried in
Lattaville cemetery.
The 4th child
was Andrew Cutright who was born on
May 14, 1784 probably at their home on the
South Branch of the Potomac. He married
Pheobe Engle who was the daughter of
Hinerich Engle, a Revolutionary War
Soldier. John served in the War of 1812, and
was a Justice of the Peace in
Seneca Co. Ohio. It is believed Andrew and
Phoebe had nine children.
Andrew died after 1836 in Seneca Co.
The 5th child
was Henry Cutright who was born on August 16, 1787,
probably at their home on the West Fork of the
Monongahela near Clarksburg
WV . He married Susannah Neff on October 29,
1809 in Ross Co. Ohio.
She was a sister of Hanah Neff, the
wife of William Cutright. Henry
served in the War of 1812. It is
believed Henry had 5 children,
at least one of them, John N.
Cutright, went to Illinois in 1837.
The 6th child
was John (the Deer Hunter) Cutright
who was born on September 24,
1789 probably at their home on the West
Fork of the Monongahela near Clarksburg
WV. There used to be a
question about whether John was
born in Virginia or Kentucky because the
family moved to Kentucky
in 1789; however, on August 26, 1850 John
reporter in
the 1850 Federal census that he
had been born in Virginia. John married
Marthe Engle on October 29,
1809 in Ross Co. Ohio. Martha was a sister
of Phoebe who married his
brother Andrew. John was a frontiersman,
soldier in the War of 1812, a
Justice of the Peace in Ross Co. Ohio, and one
of the administrators of his fathers
estate. John was
involved in several court
cases---one time he was sued over a dam and mill he
built in Chillicothe Ohio. The
jury found in John's favor. Another time he
defended his son Albert in a
paternity case. He lost that case. John
was in the Ohio
Legislature in 1835 and attended a
presidential
convention as Ohio favorite-son
candidate for Vice President. John was
called the Deer Hunter
because of his ability to shoot a deer from a
galloping horse. His
Kentucky Rifle is still in existence.
In November 1838 John started buying land in Cumberland Co. Illinois
from the government, and about that time John
and several of his children
and other family members moved from Ohio to Illinois.
John eventually bought at least
1470 acres from the government, and
other tracts from individuals
so that at one time he had about 2000
acres in Illinois.
Eventually all of Johns children except
Camden moved
to Illinois along with several
nephews and sisters-in-law after their
husbands died.
According to tradition John also had $2000 in
gold
which he buried on his Illinois
farm. Numerous people tried to find it over
the next century but as far as
is known no one found it. In about 1910
Oliver Cutright was plowing a
pasture field next to a hill that hadn't
been plowed before. When he
reached the end of the field he noticed the
lid of a pot that he had hit
and dragged on the bottom of the plow with
him. The underside was clean,
indicating that it had covered a pot--perhaps a
pot of gold.
Oliver never was able to find the pot
or the gold.
John and Martha
had 6 children--Albert, Rachel
Shaner, Oliver, Camden, John III, and
Elizabeth Redman. Camden stayed
in Ohio and the rest of the
family eventually came to Illinois. One of the
children Oliver married Mary Baumgartner,
the granddaughter of Henry
Baungartner, a Hessian Soldier who was brought
to this country to
fight for England in the
Revolution. Henry deserted and stayed to fight for
the colonies.
John died on June 29, 1860 and is buried in the
Cutright Cemetery in Cumberland
Co. Illinois.
The 7th child
was Nathaniel who according to his
obituary was born in Fayette
Co. Kentucky on November 1, 1791. Nathaniel
moved to Ohio with his parents
in 1796. He married Margaret Veill on June 18,
1812.
Nathaniel served in the War of 1812.
In 1842 he ran a saw mill
and was noted for practical
jokes. He died on April 10, 1844 and was
buried at Aaron Keller
Cemetery. In 1968 his body was moved to New Holland
Cemetery because of the
construction of a Deer Creek Reservoir. His wife
Margaret came to Illinois and
is buried in Cutright Cemetery.
The 8th child was
William, who was born in
Kentucky on July 18, 1794.
He also served in the War of 1812. He married
Hannah
Neff on April 11, 1814 in Ross
Co. Ohio. She was a daughter of Henry
Neff and a sister on Susannah
who married Andrew. Hannah came to McLean Co.
Illinois after Williams death.
Hannah attended the funeral of Simon
Kenton.
The 9th child
was James who was born in Ross Co.
Ohio on February 26, 1798. He
was the 1st white child born in Ross Co.,
Ohio. He married Sabra Neff on
July 4, 1819 in Ross Co. Sabra was the
daughter Leonard and Lydia
Neff. James was a farmer, owning 821 acres in
Springfield Township.
James died on June 16, 1870. The
genealogist Ruth Marie Clark was
descended from James.
The 10th child
was Hiram who was born on November
30, 1801 in Ross Co. Ohio. He
first married Sally Groves. She died and
he married Hannah Neff on
January 22, 1829. Hiram was a farmer and
grocery merchant.
He died in July 1882.
