DEATH OF FRANK HUPP (4A.)
Dr. John C. Hupp of Wheeling, W.Va., died in 1908, when I first
attended West Liberty College in Ohio Co.
It is most interesting to note that his grandmother, Ann Hupp, told
him stories of the Indians when they attacked Miller's Blockhouse in 1782.
He was a small boy when he listened to her, but he remembered them. In 1864,
he published these stories in the Wheeling Intelligencer. In 1880, he again
published them in the Intelligencer.
My grandfather, Everhart Hupp, 2nd cousin to the doctor, kept these
old newspapers. When I was in my twenties, I found the papers under the eaves
of grandfather's old log house--where the family still lived. I copied them, with
an old Oliver Typewriter I purchased from a Presbyterian Preacher in Cameron, W.Va.,
when I was teaching a rural school a few miles west of Cameron.
This story of the Death of Frank Hupp, is one of them. Arch Hupp, of Wheeling,
took Mrs. Hupp, Lois and I out to the site of the Jonathan Link cabin on Middle Wheeling
Creek, where this incident occurred:
Frank Hupp was evidently a young unmarried man at the time. He was likely
living with his brother, John Hupp, or at least was there at the time.
Dr. John C. Hupp was a writer of considerable ability. Frank was a brother,
of John, Everhart, Philip and George. He crossed the mountains from Virginia later
than did Everhart.
J.C. Hupp
DEATH OF FRANK HUPP
Wheeling Intelligencer, of May 31, 1864 by Dr. J.C. Hupp of Wheeling, W.Va.
A story told him by his grandfather.
At the dawn of a fine September morning, in the year of 1781, Captain Jacob Miller,
Frank Hupp, and Jacob Fisher set out from Miller's blockhouse on Buffalo Creek with the
double purpose of performing the dangerous duties of spies and looking after stray
horses. Each had with him his trusty rifle and equipment, well supplied with powder
and balls. With alert and vigorous steps, they pursued a westerly course, which soon led
them beyond the reach of the most distant view of their homes and into the nearly
unbroken forest lying between "The Three Ridges" and the Ohio. Having spent the day in
unsuccessful search and scouting, they were overtaken by nightfall near the cabin of
Jonathan Link on Middle Wheeling Creek. Here they turned in and were greeted with that
hearty kind of welcome peculiar to back-woodsmen. They were cordially invited to share the
comforts of the fire side for the night which was cheerfully accepted. What, in these
perilous times were their subjects for conversations during the evening need no exercise of
fancy to conjecture.
Having made their supper on Indian johnny cake and water with some "jerked"
venison which happened to be in the cabin, they retired to their beds in the loft. It
was a bright starlit night and all nature seemed propitious for security and repose;
had it not been for the fierce barking of their dogs, no danger would have been apprehended.
The men conjectured that the disturbance kept up by the dogs augured more than merely the
proximity of the wolves or the hooting of the owls that could be heard occasionally
in different parts of the deep woods that surrounded the cabin.
Link, in his over-anxiety to render his guests contented in the enjoyment
of his hospitality affected indifference, hoping to allay their apprehensions of danger. But,
not withstanding, one of the other of the party seemed to employ his time alternately
in disturbed rest, and then, with anxious solicitude for his safety, casting watchful
glances around the cabin, of gazing around the opening and on the wall-like masses
of forest that loomed up dimly against the sky-light, seeming to enclose it in far stretching
mountain ramparts, no visible danger could be discovered.
At length the chirping of the wood-birds and the peculiar chill and ruffling of
the air, which are always the precursers of approaching day, announced that the dawn was
close at hand. The hooting of the owls had ceased and the dogs lay in slumber, curled
down near the cabin door. During the night a band of savages had crept cautiously
and inaudibly to places of concealment near the cabin. Here they lay ambushing the door
and the path leading to the spring nearby. The men rose from their restless beds, each
cheerfully acknowledging to the other that their fears of danger had been unfounded.
But, alas! How elusive are all human hopes and joys. Hupp, and Fisher, unsuspecting,
opened the door, stepped down into the limpid gurgling spring which was but a few paces
below, for the purpose of performing their morning ablutions. Immediately a discharge of
rifles issued from the covert of woods and bushes nearby killing Fisher and mortally
wounding Hupp, who ran into the cabin and up into the loft and while exhorting his brothers
not to give up, sank down in the embrace of death. The blood-thirsty savages now rushed
frantically into the cabin, demanding of the men to surrender immediately and hand down
their guns or they would fire the house and envelop them in flames. In this awful
crisis and trepidation and alarm, being overpowered by numbers, Miller, and Link, had
no alternative by unconditional compliance. While their hands and arms were being
bound, Hupp was precipitate from the loft, dragged beyond the threshold and scalped.
Pickets having been detached, the first Indians of the file facing a northeasterly
direction, the noiseless march commenced, leaving the mutilated remains of their victims to
the mercy of the wild beasts.
The prisoners with painful anxiety for their relatives and friends, now knew with
certainty that the Dutch Fork settlement was doomed to speedy scalping, captivities
and murders. A rapid march was thus continued in profound silence til they arrived at the
summit of the ridge immediately east of the homestead of land owned by the heirs of the late
Charles Rodgers, Esq. Here they were met by the returning pickets and a halt ensued.
At this place, leaving a guard with the prisoners, the march was promptly resumed.
The grand object was to make a descent upon the cabin of Presley Peak which strategic
move was carried into successful operations and resulted in the capture of Peak, a man
by the name of William Burnett and William Hawkins. As the relentless wretches rushed
with exultant yells around the cabin, Peak essayed to make his escape thru a hemp
patch in the rear of the cabin, amid a shower of bullets which literally mowed down
the hemp around him in his speedy flight. But, bounding over the rude fence unharmed
by the leaden missles and alighting amongst the bushes that fringed the dense woods, he
was intercepted and surrounded by the ubioutious savage warriors, at that moment springing
from their covert and he was a captive.
These three prisoners having been securely bound, were left in charge of a guard
when a detachment of Indians started forth down the creek, while another party hastened
to the cabin of William Hawkins, which was about half a mile farther up the creek.
Here they captured Elizabeth Hawkins. She, being sick at the time, prevented her from
making her escape with the rest of the family, who had fled and concealed themselves
in the surrounding woods.
Mrs. Hawkins lay concealed amongst the leaves and branches of a fallen tree with
an infant in her arms, which she gaged nigh to strangulation with her apron lest it's cries
should betray her whilst the blood-thirsty captors of her husband and daughter passed
within a few feet of where she lay undiscovered, in agonizing terror and trepidation.
And what is a remarkable fact, her little dog that followed her to the place of concealment
crouched, shivering by her side whilst the Indians were passing.
The party going down the creek were less successful in their predatory incursion
upon the cabin of Edward Gaither, which stood at the forks of the creek near its spot where
now stands the residence of John Cain. With their accustomed caution they approached
the cabin in all directions with an apparent certainty of again having an opportunity
of carrying into successful execution their murderous and marauding purposes. But, into
this instance they were foiled. At the moment of attack of Peak and his comrades,
it being less than a mile up the creek from the confluence of the streams and in hearing
the guns, the Gaither family was about to be seated for dinner when alarmed by the rapid
firing, they immediately betook themselves to the Miller blockhouse. The Indians,
however, did ample justice to the untouched and bounteous repast. And having pillaged the
house of such articles as they wished to carry along with them, set fire to it and hastened
with their plunder to the rendezvous on the ridge, where they were soon joined by the other
party and it's prisoners.
The feelings of the prisoners, father, daughter and neighbors, brought thus in
their distressing helplessness face to face in the deep and wild wood, can much more readily
be imagined than described. Some of the exultant savages gave vent to their feelings
by grotesque distortion of countenance and gyrations of the body. They whooped and dances
and sang-now chiming the war-whoop in concert and fiendish yells of triumph, while others
gave evidence by twitching of the whiskers and hair of the prisoners. Hawkins and Burnett
were special suffers from these demonstrations, the former having red hair and the latter
having a superabundance of hair about his person, which characteristics are notoriously
repulsive to the savage taste.
These demonstrations were interpreted by the prisoners as precursers of the untold
horrors yet in reservation. Contrary to the savage custom the treatment of the generality
of prisoners in such an emergency, who being faint and feeble from fright and sickness and
unable to keep pace with the Indians in their hurried march, the fair Miss Hawkins was
retained a prisoner and treated with the utmost indulgence and decorum. Such was her feebleness
and trepidation for the moment, that she fell from the horse on which the Indians had
seated her, but with their characteristic indulgence and decorous forbearance with which
they are universally said to treat captive women, she was kindly reseated upon the animal
and hurried forward far in advance of the other prisoners.
An Indian council was held. The scene which quickly followed and which was the
consumption of the purpose of the council, was sufficient to chill the hearts blood of
even the most savage barbarity. The five prisoners, firmly bound, sat side by side on a
fallen tree. They were approached from the read by five large and stalward Indians,
each with up lifted tomahawk in hand. Three of them dealt simultaneous blows and Hawkins,
Peak and Burnett lay sweltering in their life's blood. The other two savages,
seemed to
recoil from the work of atrocity that had been assigned them. But each stood with the
uplifted tomahawk over the head of his victim. In this awful moment of suspense, Miller and
Link, fortunately for themselves gave no evidence of terror or trepidation. At that moment
a warbling songster of the wood struck up it's mournful song from the pendant branches
of an ancient monarch of the forest, overhanging the scene of this awful tragedy.
The two intended executioners immediately cowering back from their intrepid and indomitable courageous
prisoners quickly returned their tomahawks to their belts. As the whole of the savages,
palpably overwhelmed with consternation and dismay hastened to form into line with the
front Indians of the file facing towards Ohio. Miller and Link were led by long strips of
rawhide to a place assigned to them about the middle of the file.
Thus, with light, silent and cat-like tread, they advanced on their retreat
rapidly until they reached the banks of the big Wheeling Creek when nightfall was coming
on, a halt was made, a fire was kindled some distance away from the place selected
for an encampment, which was quickly extinguished as soon as it had served the purpose
of cooking their scanty evening's meal. Here for the first time since a few moments
before the enactment of the tragic scenes first related, was Miss Hawkins cheered
with the sight of any prisoners. In agonizing filial affection she strained her eyes in
anxious search along the approaching file for the sight of her father. But, when she saw
only Miller and Link, she immediately devined what had happened. Becoming more composed,
reason and judgement were measurably under her control and her familiarity with the Indian
character and peculiarities admonished her that she should not portray to the keen preconceptions
of the savages the real state of her feelings. With a resolute endurance and a heroism
befitting the occasion, she succeeded in stifling the better feeling of her nature. Then,
affection indifference to what had transpired within the last few hours, she partook with
apparent cheerfulness of the parsimonious and frugal entertainment which the Indians served
up to her and the other prisoners. From the indistinguishable jabbering among the Indians,
it was evident they were arranging to get that sleep of which they had been so long deprived
and to make a judicious and safe disposition of the prisoners for the night. At length they
stretched themselves out upon the ground with such an arrangement that on either side of each
prisoner was an Indian. Doubly bound as they were, the prisoners gave up all hopes of
escape. The Indians soon fell asleep. Their minds were too busy, their nerves too excited
and their torture from their bonds too intense to allow the prisoners any inclination
to close their eyes. Pinioned and distributed as they were amongst the savages, they were
precluded in the possibility of any communication with one another by word or even gesture.
Miller, notwithstanding, his anxiety of mind and distress of body had matured a
plan for his escape, which was to sunder by means of his teeth the tough throngs which
served to bind him so securely.
He impatiently waited for midnight when the sleep of the Indians was most likely
to be profound. Time passed away and at last even Link and Miss Hawkins sank into
fitful slumber. Miller, imploring divine aid, embraced this at the auspicious moment to
begin the difficult and dangerous work he had in contemplation. With unconquerable
will and unfaltering determination, he labored arduously for some time accomplishing
but little. Though having a good set of teeth, he at times almost despaired on account of
the toughness of the material on which he was operating. But, at length one of the sundered
fetters dropped slowly from it's deep track where it had become embedded in the muscles of his
arm. One of the Indians turned in his sleep. Miller lay in the semblance of sleep. Ten
minutes elapsed and no further movement being observed, he resumed his effort to unfetter
himself.
At length, his success was complete. He stole forth cautiously from the circle of
his captors. Guided by the start, he was soon on the direct route back to Buffalo
where he arrived about the break of day. As soon as he entered the blockhouse alone and
without his gun, the inmates divined that some awful calamity had befallen himself and
his companions. When inquired of as to Hupp and Fisher, the great deep of his manly soul
was broken up and the awfully harrowing scenes of the last twenty-four hours rushed thru
his mind, rendering him speechless. And he could only respond by pointing to the deep purple
throng furrows in his arms and amid the emotional throbbings of his heart and the heaving
of his herculean chest, burst into a flood of unbidden tears. The abundant tribute of
tears from those around him convinced him that the day previous having been learned, it
was desirable to execute the rites of sepulcher to those who had fallen.
Among those who shouldered their rifles and set out headed by Captain Miller to
perform those rites were John Miller, Andrew Deeds and Jacob Rowe. Even after the lapse
of many years, Captain Miller could seldom be induced to recount these tragic scenes in
which he acted so conspicuous a part, so idelibly impressed upon his sensitive soul were
their thrilling reality and so harrowingly painful to him were their rehearsal. And, when
through feeling of friendship he was constrained to narrate them, it was with tears
streaming down his manly cheeks.

REMINISCENCES OF THE LOCAL PIONEER LIFE
by
Dr. J.C. Hupp
About three miles south of West Alexander, Pa. and on the right bank of Middle Creek,
and on the land now owned by the Robert Erskine heirs, was the site of Link's cabin. We
were once piloted by S.M. Bell, Esq. and the venerable William Porter, Sr. to the spot
where 120 years ago, this rude cabin stood, traces of its ruins were still to be seen. It
stood only a few feet from the West Virginia line.
Hawkin's cabin stood a few feet south of where the National Road is now located,
within easy view of Vienna, on the B.& O. road, and near the foot of what is known as
"Hawkin's Hill" on land owned by George Cunningham. The stable on the north side of the road
here was constructed of the logs from this ancient cabin.
This infant was William Hawkins, who was County Surveyor of Washington County,
from 1809 to 1815.
Link was not so successful as Miller in his endeavors to escape. He was dragged along
with the Indians to their villages beyond the Ohio and tradition says that some two weeks
after his capture he was brought back in to the neighborhood and taken up on the hill back
of his own cabin, and in full view of it, where he was set up as a target and shot by
the Indians. His remains were interred by the side of those of Hupp and Fisher and about
mid-way between his cabin and the creek. The cut through the county road has disturbed
the sepulcher of these pioneer martyrs. Here at the roadside the venerable William
Porter, Sr. has frequently picked portions of humans out of the crumbling bank.
Miss Hawkins was carried by her captors to their haunts in the interior of Ohio. Here
she was led in triumph to the Wigwam and with due form and ceremony adopted into the tribe.
She soon learned to reciprocate that disinterested tenderness with which she was so affectionately
loved by the mother of her adoption.
Many years after she had been with her Shawnee Chief, she returned to the neighborhood
on a visit to her pale-faced relatives. But the dull monotony of civilized life having
lost all her charms for her, she soon returned to her wild Indian home.
The "Old guns" and remnants of the equipment carried by Jacob Rowe on this occasion
are now in the possession of the writer of this narrative.
FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1899
Claysville Recorder
Easter Sunday, 1782, At Miller's
Block house on Dutch Fork.
by
Dr. J.C. Hupp.
In the spring of 1782, Indian hostilities commenced much earlier than usual along
the western frontier, as early as the month of March. Hordes of Savages were ascertained
to have crossed the Ohio and were making their way into the settlements.
The settlers thus threatened with the massacres, plunderings, burnings and captivities
with which they had already become accustomed to were filled with spirit and excitement,
commingled with alarm. In this predicament of apprehension and danger, the settlers along
the Buffalo valley betook themselves, with their families, to the forts and blockhouses.
About three miles northeast of West Alexander, Washington County, Pa., on the
bank of the Dutch Fork, of Buffalo is a peninsular formed by the meandering creek on
the one side Miller's run on the other. The isthmus next to the run is skirted by a
narrow strip of bottom land which expands to many acres towards the creek and its
confluence with the run. The side of the isthmus washed by the creek has a bold, precipitous
bluff. On this isthmus was located Miller's Blockhouse [88] was besieged by a party of
about seventy Shawnees on Easter Sunday, (Apr. 7,) 1782.
With their characteristic cunning and caution the Indians arrived in the vicinity the
night previous disturbing themselves in ambush around the blockhouse and along the paths
leading there to thus lying concealed among the bushes of "pea vines," they awaited
the operation of circumstances. Nearly all of the men were absent from the blockhouse
on this occasion; some of them, being at Rice's Fort, which was about 2 miles further
down the creek of this fact the Indians most likely were apprised, and on this account
the attack on the blockhouse is supposed to have been deferred and the ambush protracted
in order to destroy the men on their return hither.
Of those who were in that rude shelter on that fatal Sabbath morning were John
Hupp's wife and four children; Mary, Margaret, John and Elizabeth; Jacob Miller and several
of his family, the family of Edward Gaither, and an old man named Matthias Ault.
The devotional morning appeal had ascended with its wonted fervor to the Father of
Mercies for preservation and protection. The sun had appeared above the eastern hills
tingeing with its feeble rays the lofty trees of the dense forest that surrounded
this primitive place of defence. The quietude of the woods was undisturbed save by the
occasional chirp of the wooded songster carolling his morning anthem.
One of the matron of the block house had fearful forebodings that some terrible
calamity was about to befall her husband, and followed him to the door entreating
him not to carry into execution his determination to accompany his friend on that
morning in search of a colt that had strayed. The night previous she had dreamed that a
"copper snake" had struck, fastening its fangs into the palm of her husband's hand and
that all her efforts to detach the venomous reptile was unavailing--this vision she
interpreted as ominous of evil to her husband. But notwithstanding the entreaties and
importunities of his wife John Hupp set-out in company with his friend, Jacob Miller, in
search of the stray. They entered the path leading across the run and through the woods
in a northeasterly direction and were soon out of view.
Soon the quietude of the woods was disturbed by the crack of a rifle quickly
followed by a savage war whoop issuing from that portion of the forest into which Hupp
and Miller had entered. This alarm filled the minds of the woman with consternation
and apprehensions as to their fate. But Hupp, being in the prime and vigor of manhood,
fleet and athletic, if merely overpowered by numbers, his prompt return to the blockhouse was
confidently expected. But he had fallen a victim to the foe that lay concealed, patiently
awaiting the approach of some ill-fated person.
The two unsuspecting men were allowed to follow the ambushed path unmolested
till they reached the second little ravine on land now owned by Clinton Miller, Esq. Here
from his concealment behind fallen timber a savage fired upon Hupp, wounding him mortally;
he however, after he was shot, ran sixty or seventy yards and sank to rise no more. Miller,
an elderly man, was boldly rushed upon by the merciless wretches with loud and exultant
yells, and tomahawked on the spot.
Finished with success the savages now left their hapless victims scalped and pilfered
of all clothing, to join in the beleaguering of the block house.
While this tragic scene was being enacted the wild excitement and confusion
among the women and children in the blockhouse with no male defender but the old man, Ault
can be more readily imagined than described.
But at this trying moment Providence panoplied a female hero with courage
sufficiently unfaltering for the dire emergency, in the person of Mrs. Ann Hupp. Having now
realized the dread foreboding of her vision, and shaking off the shackles of despondency,
she turned to calm the moral whirlwind that was raging amongst the frantic women and children--to
inspire them with and rally the only and infirm male defender.
She in the meantime had deputed Frederick Miller, an active lad aged about eleven
years, as messenger to Rices's Fort for aid. But in this she was foiled, for the lad had
gone willingly and heroically only a few hundred yards down the peninsula on his dangerous
embassy when he was intercepted by the Indians. Retracing his steps he was pursued by
two ferocious Indians with hideous yells and uplifted tomahawks.
This frightful race for life was witnessed from the blockhouse with anxiety the
most intense. Every moment it seemed as though the lad would fall with cloven skull
beneath the deadly stroke of one or the other of the two blood-thirsty pursuers, each vying
with the other which should strike the fatal blow. A fence had to be scaled by the boy
without a blunder, or death--certain, instant death--was his doom. Summoning all his boyhood
and failing strength he leaped the barrier, touching it merely with his hand as the fore most
Indian's tomahawk struck the rails accompanied by a yell of disappointment, when both Indians
fired at him. One of the balls took effect and passed through his flexed arm, shattering
the bones both above the elbow and between the joint and wrist, whirling the lad around several
times. Now subdued shrieks of terror commingled with joy were heard in the blockhouse as
the female hero who sent out the boy embassador gladly received him in her arms as he
bounded to the door, exhausted from the race and the loss of blood.
At this moment the Indians, leaping from their concealment, appeared in every direction
around the blockhouse, and a hot and continuous firing was commenced. The female band, with
the now trembling and weeping Ault as their counsellor, in despair and anguish were forced
to the conclusion that the block house would soon be taken by storm or envelop them in its
flames, and with no hope of a successful resistance were about to "give up." Again, in
this crisis of terrible trial and danger, Mrs. Ann Hupp proved equal to the emergency.
Encouraging the trembling Ault and the weeping women with the consoling language of hope--nerving
her arm and steeling her heart to the severe duties of the moment, she with true Spartanism,
snatching up a rifle fired at the approaching Indians, and then "ran from port hole to
port hole," protruding its muzzle in different directions--to convey the idea of great forces
in the house--at each presentation causing the Indians to cower behind trees or other objects
for protection. This happily conceived and promptly executed strategy of this pioneer
heroine, without doubt saved the handful of women and children from what otherwise
was inevitable--a wholesale massacre.
A party of the Indians had taken shelter behind a stable that stood not far from
the block house. Emboldened by their firing not being promptly returned, one of them would
occasionally step out to view, holding up before himself, as a shield, a clap-board, and
then quickly retreat again to his shelter. At length he stepped out boldly into an open
space defiantly stretching his savage frame nigh in the air, at which Ault was prevailed
upon to fire, but palpably without doing any harm. This exasperated the besieging
foe, causing the assault to become still more terrible.
At this state of the siege the woman saw and recognized three of their men approaching
in great haste from the direction of Rice's Fort, when they commenced screaming at the top
of their voices and beckoning the men in the direction they supposed to be the safest point
for them to pass the Indians in gaining the block house.
While the Indians stood in confusion and wonderment, and comprehending the meaning
of the screams, the men rushed forward, passing very near to where some of the savages
stood, and before the Indians sufficiently recovered from their surprise to fire upon them,
they with faces red and turgid from their race, bounded into the block house unscathed.
The names of these three daring spirits, who thus periled their lives to save their
helpless mothers, brothers, and sisters from savage fury, or perish with them, were Jacob
Rowe, Capt. John Jacob Miller and Phillip Hupp. After the arrival of these men the boldness
and fury of the Indians abated and during the remainder of the day only occasional
shots were exchanged. Evidently filled with chagrin and disappointment they skulked
about the neighborhood till nightfall, and nothing more was heard of them, they no doubt
fearing a reinforcement, left during the night, bearing away with them only the scalps of
Hupp [89] and Miller.
The loss to the neighborhood of these two men was severely felt at a time men
were needed; but all hearts in that block house were overflowing with thanks and gratitude
to a kind and merciful preserver for vouch-saving to them his aid and protection when their
great and terror filling peril was impending and for saving them from the ruthless
hands of the merciless savages.
About noon on Monday, the men ventured out from the block house, going sadly and
cautiously in search of Hupp and Miller, with the purpose of performing for them the last
sad rights of the dear departed. They found the body of Miller lying near the bloody path
and following the traces of blood on the leaves and other objects over which Hupp had
run after he received the mortal wound, his remains were promptly recovered.
Their mutilated, frozen bodies were born to the peninsula and laid side by side a
few yards from the block house in the same grave with "puncheons" for their coffin; and
to-day are lying clustered about the graves of those two pioneer martyrs the remains
of Jacob Rowe [90], Captain John Jacob Miller, Frederick Miller [91], the heroine Mrs.
Ann Hupp and her daughter, Mrs. Margaret Titus. When living the cement and panoply of
affection and good will bound together at once in the tender, natal, social and moralness
of domestic kindness, friendship and love, and the union for defence, and when dead they
were not separated.
Attack on the Miller Blockhouse, 1782.
Isaac Leffler in his letters, gives an account of the attack on the Miller Block
House and places the date at two weeks following the battle of the Rice Fort in September,
1782.
J. Harlan Keenan, a direct descendent of Fergus Smith who resides close by the site
of the old Rice Fort has made a detailed research concerning this attack as well as other
important events connected with the settlers of the Rice community. His research has revealed
that this attack was made on the Miller Block House on Easter Sunday, March 31, 1782,
some five months before the battle of the Rice Fort.
We quote his findings as he has given them to us:
"On Saturday night, March 30, 1782, about 20 Shawnee Indians surrounded Miller's Blockhouse.
The next morning, March 31, (Easter morning) most of the men left the Blockhouse on
an Indian scouting expedition. Captain Jacob Miller; Phillip Hupp; and Jacob Rowe going
to the Rice Fort.
The only persons left at the Miller Blockhouse were John Hupp Sr., and his wife
and their four children (H.S.R. There were only three Hupp children, Ann was due to deliver
any time for the fourth); Margaret, Mary, John and the unborn Elizabeth; Jacob Miller Sr.
and members of his family; the family of Edward Gaither, and an old man named Mathias Ault.
Shortly after these men left, Jacob Miller Sr. and John Hupp Sr. left the block
house to search for a stray colt. They had gone about one half mile from the blockhouse
when they were shot by the Indians and scalped.
The place where they were killed was a hollow directly north-east of the blockhouse.
The shots that killed Miller and Hupp were heard at the blockhouse and Ann Hupp
immediately prepared for the defence of the blockhouse and through her heroism the blockhouse
was saved. She started Frederick Miller, ten years old, son of Jacob, to Rice's Fort for
help, but the Indians, drove him back, shooting him in the arm.
The firing, however, was heard at Rice's Fort, on hearing it, Jacob Miller Jr.,
Phillip Hupp, and Jacob Rowe, age 16 and a brother of Ann Hupp, started for the blockhouse.
Ann Hupp shouted directions to them and they got to the blockhouse safely.
Toward evening the Indians withdrew. It was then that Jacob Miller Jr. shot one of
the Indians when he exposed himself some 4 or 500 yards away.
The next day the bodies of Jacob Miller Sr., and John Hupp Sr., were buried in
one grave near the blockhouse."
The remainder of this story corresponds with that written by Isaac Leffler.
The Capture of Captain Jacob Miller, et-al
The research of J. Harlan Keenan concerning the capture of Captain Jacob Miller differs
but little from the story as written by Isaac Leffler in his letters.
We quote
Mr. Keenan:
"Captain Jacob Miller with Frank Hupp and Jacob Fisher left Miller's blockhouse
one morning in September 1781, to search for stray houses and also to scout for Indians.
At nightfall, they arrived at the cabin of Jonathan Link, (located on the middle
Wheeling Creek, three miles south of where West Alexander now stands and close to the
Virginia line), who invited them to spend the night with him, which they did. During
the night they were all awakened by the furious barking of Link's dog, which continued
almost until morning.
Unknown to them, Shawnee Indians has surrounded the cabin during the night and
waited for them to appear at dawn.
At daybreak, Hupp and Fisher left the cabin to wash at a spring a few feet away.
They had scarcely got outside when they were shot by the Indians. Fisher was killed
instantly and Hupp mortally wounded, but he was able to reach the loft of the cabin where
Captain Miller and Link were in bed, to warn them, then sank down dead.
The Indians then entered the cabin and took Miller and Link. After capturing
Miller and Link, they left them under guard near West Alexander, while the other Indians
went to the cabin of Presley Peak on Buffalo Creek, where they captured Peak and a man
named Burnett and William Hawkins."
(The remainder of the story is the same as told by Isaac Leffler in his letters.)
by Lecky--
John Hupp, brother of Everhart, was born about 1747, and came to the Ten Mile with
his brother, settling at the mouth of Ten Mile on the Greene County side. His application
#3319 obtaining for him a warrant on June 3, 1769 for 131 acres of land which he later sold
to George Teagarden, who eventually patented the tract. After selling out on the Tenmile.
John Hupp settled in Ohio County, Va., in that part which later became Donegal Township,
Washington County, Pa. Here he patented two tracts of land and here October 1777, he
took the oath of allegiance prescribing to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Here also on
October 15, 1777, George Hupp took the same oath. Both were sworn by Thomas Waller
which leads to the conclusion that George Hupp was living with or near his brother,
John Hupp at the time. And he was the fifth brother of the family to settle in the west.
John Hupp, was killed at Miller's Blockhouse, near West Alexander, Easter Sunday, 1782.
His wife was Anne Rowe Hupp, a daughter of Adam Rowe. She was one of the children of
Adam Rowe, who escaped the Rowe massacre near Wheeling. This Rowe Massacre appears in
the West Virginia Histories and is noted by William Harrod Jr. in his interview with Draper.
The descendants of this pioneer, John Hupp became very famous people in West Virginia
Medical History and have left a good genealogy of the family.
Children of John and Anne Rowe Hupp
1. John Jr. born 1780, married 1812 Ann Cox. They were the parents of:
John Cox Hupp, MD; Joseph Hupp; Isaac Hupp and Louisa Hupp, wife of
John Clemens.
2. Margaret Hupp. She married a Titus.
3. Elizabeth Hupp, married Francis Rogers.
4. Mary Hupp, married a Smith.
George Bumgardner, who crossed the mountains with the Hupps, took title to
land where Millsboro stands about 1765. He also got possession of the land where Clarksville
was later built. The Hupps, Bumgardners, Teagarders and Wises intermarried.

INDIAN ATTACK ON ADAM ROWE'S FAMILY
In November 1776, Adam Rowe started with his family from the waters of Buffalo Creek
in what is now, Washington County, Pa., with his wife and four sons for Kentucky,
leaving a married daughter behind. (Notes by J.C. Hupp. She was the wife of John Hupp. There
was quite a migration about this time from Washington County, Pa. to Kentucky.) They traveled
down the east side of the Ohio River and reached a point near the mouth of Grave Creek where
they were attacked by the Indians. Mrs. Rowe and the oldest son were killed on the spot.
Jacob, a ten year old boy, escaped by running into a thicket of willows, pursued by an Indian,
who had his youngest brother, Robert, on his back. Jacob did not leave his hiding
place until late in the day when he was sure no Indians were near. He started to return to
his old home, but night overtook him and he found a bed at the roots of a fallen tree, where
he spent the night on leaves that had gathered in the hollow place by the roots of the tree.
Late the next evening he reached the home of his married sister. His father and
remaining son, reached their former home on Buffalo Creek and remained there some time
and then migrated to Kentucky. Jacob remained on Buffalo Creek and later became identified
in the war with the Indians and was one of the three daring men, who saved a number of
women from the tomahawk at Miller's Blockhouse near the old home several years later in 1782.
Nothing was heard of Robert and it was thought he was killed by the Indians.
Ann, the married daughter, was the wife of John Hupp, brother of Everhart, and the heroine
of Miller Blockhouse fight Easter Sunday, 1782.
History of Marshall County, West Virginia, 1984, page 162.:
J.C. Hupp
I, J.C. Hupp, was born at Garrett;s Station, later known as Woodruff about 33
years after the last spike was driven in 1852, to complete the Baltimore to Wheeling
(B & O) Railroad.
In 1885-1890, this section was mostly woods (pine, birch, chestnut, oak and maple).
Grandfather Everhart Hupp bought land north and east of the village about 1870 from a
family named Robinson, whose sons, Nick and Newt lived in Burton, in 1912-13. Wild game
was plentiful and log-rollings and turkey-shoots were popular.
When the farmers cleared the land, much of it washed away, game became scarce and
then came a miracle. Oil was struck and pioneer life ended in the nineties. Numerous
men came from New York and Pennsylvania to settle here and some married my cousins.
Leases gave farmers cash and easier living. Teaming, carpenter work, rig building
and casing wells changed the social life and character of the people. Oil was sold and
almost-bankrupt farmers suddenly became "men of means". Some moved to town and many farms
became overgrown. Rabbits and blackberries were plentiful. A wagonload of rabbits
was sold to a Wheeling merchant in one week.
Grandfather Lyon moved to Hart's Run just after completion of the B & B R.R. My
father built his house on woodland he bought and cleared on Hart's Run, near Andersonville,
which he kept until his death in 1891.
The people who lived around Woodruff and nearby Andersonville were pioneer folk.
Nelson Virgin, a relative, had lived near Clarksville, Pa. and was a Civil War veteran.
Jake Hieronimus of Andersonville used to give me candy from his store and bought
hickory nuts and chestnuts from me to sell.
Joe Gilmore, a Scotchman with a Scotch accent, lived on the farm next to Grandfather
Lyon.
The Yoders, Stropes, Danleys, and Earnests were settlers in the Woodruff area. I
remember old Henry Earnest (a relative) long beard and long prayers (on his knees) in Mt
Carmel Church.
Old Johnny Cooper, who was Irish, lived 100 years and married three times.
The land supported many people soon after the first settlements that it will support
today, so rural populations have been very grately decreased in this section. Written by --

ISAAC J. DEEDS is a worthy descendant of a well-known pioneer family. He is a son
of Isaac Deeds and a grandson of Andrew Deeds.
Andrew Deeds was born January 1, 1760, in eastern Pennsylvania, and came to Washington
county, settling on the Dutch fork of Buffalo creek, in Donegal township, about two and
three-quarters miles north of Coon Island. He was of German descent, and among the first
pioneers of this county. Andrew Deeds was married to Mary Miller, who was born June 20, 1760,
in eastern Pennsylvania, a daughter of Jacob Miller, coming with her parents to Donegal
township, this county.
Her father, Jacob Miller, was of German birth, and, immigrating with his wife to
America, was among the early settlers on Dutch fork of Buffalo creek. Jacob Miller and
a neighbor, John Hupp, were both killed on Easter Sunday, 1782. They started together to
visit a friend, not knowing that a party of Indians had raided in, as was their custom in
the springtime and autumn. Miller and Hupp had nearly arrived at their friends house, when
suddenly they were met by the savage redskins in the path that led through the lonely and
uncultivated forest, and mid the yells and savage shrills of the painted Indians,
they were killed and scalped. Soon the news came to the few settlers that the Indians were
making a raid among them, and they all left their homes and made a speedy effort to seek
safety in the Miller blockhouse. Soon the few settlers who had succeeded in gaining the
blockhouse were surrounded by a party of about seventy Shawnees Indians, and almost
without any ammunition, and totally without provisions to eat. The wives of Miller
and Hupp were among those who escaped to the fort, and they there prepared ammunition
to keep off the Indians. At this moment the latter, leaping from their concealment,
appeared in every direction around the blockhouse, and a hot and continuous firing
commenced. The female band, in despair and anguish, were forced to the conclusion
that the blockhouse would now soon be taken be taken by storm, or envelope them in its
flames; and, with no hope of a successful resistance, were about to give up. In this crisis
of terrible emergency, but with the consoling language of hope, and with courage sufficiently
unfaltering for the dire emergency, Providence canopied those female heroines with daring
courage. And then, nerving their arms and steeling their hearts to the severe duties of
the moment, they, snatching up their rifles, fired at the approaching savages, and then
ran from porthole to porthole, protruding the muzzles in different directions to convey
the idea of a great force in the house, at each presentation causing the savages to cower
behind trees or other objects for protection. This executed strategy of these pioneer
heroines without doubt saved the few inmates from an immediate and horrible death. The
Indians, evidently filled with chagrin and disappointment, skulked about the blockhouse
till nightfall, and then a few of them left during the night, bearing away with them the
scalps of Miller and Hupp. The loss of these two to the neighborhood was severely
felt at a time when men were so much needed; but all hearts in that blockhouse were overflowing
with thankfulness and gratitude to a kind and merciful Preserver for vouch-saving to
them His aid and protection when their great and terror-filling peril was impending,
and saving them from the ruthless hands of the merciless and bloodthirsty savages.
With sad and anxious hearts the wives of Miller and Hupp lived in hopes that their
loving husbands would soon arrive in safety at the blockhouse, not knowing then that they
were massacred by the savage Indians; so the lifeless bodies of Miller and Hupp remained
for several days where they had been left by the Indians. By and by some friends and a few
settlers, concluding it was safe to leave the fort, with cautious steps and armed with
a few guns, set out in search of Miller and Hupp, whose bodies they found less than one-half
mile north of the fort, on a ridge in a small path that led through the dense forest.
(The field is now owned by Clint Miller). They brought the lifeless bodies to the Miller
Blockhouse, and prepared them for burial. They were interred in one grave, a few yards
from the blockhouse, and placed side by side, each body being wrapped in a sheet,
without any coffin, and some rude puncheons were placed around them in their grave.
There was no time for the mourners to prepare a box or coffin for their departed friends,
as they did not know how soon the Indians might surround them, and kill or take them all
prisoners. And in that ancient and lonely graveyard to-day are lying, clustered around the
graves of these two pioneers, the remains of Jacob Klow, Jacob Miller, Jr., Frederick
Miller, Ann Hupp and her daughter Margaret Titus, and other friends.

Francis Rodgers, history & picture.
Patrick Rodgers. Prominent among the most respected and the wealthiest citizens of
Donegal township is found this well-known retired agriculturist.
He is a son of Francis Rodgers, a native of County Donegal, Ireland, who when a young
man came to America, and to Washington county, Penn., making a settlement in Donegal
township, about one mile northeast of where is Coon Island, post office, and where Franklin
Rodgers, his grandson, is at present living. Here he hewed for himself a home out of the
unbroken primeval forest, and naturally, then began to look around him for a suitable
helpmate. Here he was fortunate to find in the person of Elizabeth Hupp, a member of
one of the oldest families of the county and first settlers of Donegal township. To their
marriage were born children as follows: John, who was a farmer in Washington county,
and died at the age of forty-five years; Patrick, the subject of this memoir; Rosanna,
wife of Joseph Cox; Nancy, wife of Samuel Cox; Isabel, married to Jacob Stoolfire;
Margaret, wife of Thomas Davis; Mary, married to George Linville; Sarah, wife of Isaac
Deeds; and Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Davis, all now deceased except Patrick. The parents died
on the old home farm, the father in 1829, and the mother in 18__. Then Francis Rodgers
came to America he was but a poor boy, and his success in life was due to the characteristic
thrift, energy and good management of himself and his faithful wife. In
his political
life Mr. Rodgers was a lifelong Democrat, a useful, reliable man in his party.
Patrick Rodgers was born in February, 1808, in Donegal township, this county,
where, on his father's farm, he was well trained to the manifold duties pertaining
to agricultural pursuits, while his education was secured at the subscription schools of
his day. At an early age of sixteen the care of a large farm fell on him, thus putting
an end to his opportunities of attending school any longer; but the manner in which his
extensive and trying duties were performed gave evidence of ideas far beyond his years,
and promises of a brilliant future before him in his state of life.
Mr. Rodgers has been twice married, first time to Harriet, a daughter of Jerry Linville,
of Donegal township, to which union there were born children as follows: Johnson, who
died at the age of twenty-eight, and Franklin , a farmer
in Donegal
township. The mother of these children dying in 1846, Mr. Rodgers, afterward married
Jane, daughter of Robert & Eleanor (Mitchell) Mehaffey, of Donegal township, and she bore
him the following named children: Elizabeth, now the wife of J.O. Scott, of Washington,
Penn.; Mary, at home, with her parents, and Emma, now the wife of Avery Councelman,
of Brooke county, W.Va. After his first marriage, Mr. Rodgers continued on the home farm,
engaged in general agriculture and stock raising, until 1870, when he removed to the old
Cracraft farm, situated near Dunsfort, in Donegal township, on Buffalo creek, where he
has since resided, now several years retired, the farm being operated by others. This property
he had purchased some years before. In his political affiliations, Mr. Rodgers is a stanch
Republican, formerly a Whig, and has held numerous township offices pressed upon him by appreciative
friend. In religious sentiment he is a member of and liberal contributor toward the Dutch
Fork Disciple Church.

RICHARD HAWKINS STULL. This gentleman is of German descent, his grandfather,
John Stull, having emigrated from his native land in an early day. John and Elizabeth
Stull settled on the tract of land in East Bethlehem township, a portion of which is
yet in the possession of their descendants, and there reared the following children:
John, Martin, Abraham, Andrew, Mrs. Elizabeth Bowser, Mrs. Mary Horner, Philip, Mrs. Barbara
Hupp, and Isaac.
Isaac Stull was born in 1807, in the old log house which his father had erected on
the farm in East Bethlehem township, Washington Co., Penn. He attended the subscription
schools, and in early manhood married to Matilda, daughter of Richard Hawkins, a native of
Greene County, Penn. The children of Isaac and Matilda Stull were as follows: Joseph, Mrs.
Lizzie Overholt, John (a resident of Iowa City, Iowa), Richard Hawkins, Jackson C. (living
on a farm in East Bethlehem township), James (deceased), and Abraham and Thomas (twins)(the
latter of whom is an eminent physician living in Grant county, Wis).
Richard Hawkins Stull was born August 9, 1842, on the place in East Bethlehem
township, now owned by G.G. Gayman, and soon after his birth the parents moved to the farm
in East Bethlehem township, which he yet owns. In October, 1886, he was united in marriage
with Maggie, daughter of Samuel Lewis, and they have one son, Samuel. The home place
contains 126 acres of valuable land, upon which Mr. Stull conducts a general farming business,
and also gives special attention to the breeding of Hambletonian and Clay horses, and
his stock has taken many premiums at county fairs. Politically he is a stanch supporter
of the Republican party, and cast his first vote for President Lincoln.

WILLIAM M. HORN. The Family. of which the subject of these lines is a prominent
representative, are of German ancestry, and located in this county many years prior to the
Revolution. The first couple of the name, of whom we have a record, were Martin and Peggy
(Wilkins) Horn, who resided in Buffalo township, and reared a family of seven children.
John Horn, son of Martin and Peggy Horn, was born on the home farm in Buffalo township,
and received a necessarily limited education. He grew to maturity and the wild scenes of
early civilization, and when a young man was married to Mary M. Gantz, daughter of John Gantz,
an early resident of Greene county, Penn. The children born to this union were as follows:
Martin, George C., Jacob, Hugh, Isaac, Margaret, Elizabeth, (Mrs. Price), John, Hannah, (Mrs.
Elvey), William M. and Maria, (Mrs. Coogle), of whom Jacob, John and Margaret are deceased.
William M. Horn, son of John and Mary M. Horn, was born April 18, 1839, in Buffalo
township, Washington Co., Penn., where he was reared to agricultural pursuits, and received
a good common school education. In 1861 he, in company with his brothers Hugh and Jacob,
bravely shouldered his musket in defense of the "Stars and Stripes," enlisted in Company A.
(Capt. Armstrong), One Hundredth P.V.I. He was mustered into service August 28, 1861, at
Pittsburgh, Penn., and the company was first taken to Washington, D.C., thence to Beauport,
S.C. He then participated in the following engagements: Port Royal, James Island,
Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, the charge upon Fort Sanders
at Knoxville, Tenn., Blue Springs, Ky., and siege of Vicksburg, Mr. Horn was at this time
transferred to the army of ther Potomac, and there fought the battle of the Wilderness,
North Anna river, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. At the last mentioned engagement he was
wounded by a minnie ball in the left shoulder. On August 28, 1864, he received an honorable
discharge, and returned to the farm in Washington County, Penn. His brother Jacob died
the day that his term of enlistment expired; Hugh is now living in Henry county, Iowa. On
January 1, 1885, William M. Horn was united in marriage with Louisa, second daughter of
John Clemens. The latter traced his genealogy back, through many years, to an Englishman
who emigrated from his native land in a very early day, and taking up a large tract of
land in Buffalo township, Washington county, became identified with the earliest history
of the county. Among the sons of this early pioneer was one James Clemens, born in Washington
county, and married to Hannah Walton, who bore him the following children: Jeremiah, born
September 16, 1763; Christina, born January 21, 1765; William C., born January 30, 1767;
Abram, born October 3, 1769; Ann, born October 5, 1771; Ruth, born March 26, 1773; John,
born September 12, 1775; Parmelia, born April 10, 1777; James, born March 4, 1779; Hannah,
born March 5, 1781; Ezekiel, born July 18, 1783, and Hester, born June 18, 1785.
William C. Clemens, son of James and Hannah Clemens, was born and reared on the
farm in Buffalo township, Washington County. In early life he was married to Mary Wolfe,
and their children were as follows: Dr. James Clemens, an eminent physician of Wheeling,
W. Va., born May 26, 1795, died in 1845; Jacob, born November 6, 1796; Abraham, born September
7, 1798; Elizabeth, born February 1, 1880; William, born April 25, 1803; John C., born
December 28, 1804; Hannah, born October 30, 1806; Sabina, born November 6, 1808; Amos, born
August 14, 1810; Jeremiah, born May 10, 1812; Delilah, born February 6, 1815, and Hester,
born July 2, 1818. Of this family Hannah is the only one yet living. The father was a farmer,
and for many years was justice of the peace.
John C. Clemens, son of William C. and Mary (Wolfe) Clemens, was born on the old
homestead in Buffalo township, this county. He was a prosperous farmer and an enterprising
citizen. When a young man he was married to Louisa, only daughter of John Hupp, a wealthy
farmer, a brother of the eminent physician, Dr. Hupp, of Wheeling, W.Va. To this union were
born seven children, viz.: James C., John Hupp (he was a member of Company A., One Hundredth
P.V.I., and was killed at Petersburg, Va., June 17, 1864), Isaac C., Vetruia, Louisa (Mrs.
Horn). Alonzo Walton (who lives on part of the home place) and John. Alonzo W. owns part of
the Clemens homestead farm adjoining Mrs. Horn, on which are several good producing oil
wells; there are also some good oil wells on Mrs. Horn's farm (what was once the Clemens
homestead); there are in all twenty-four oil wells. Part of the farm is now owned by Mr.
Werick and Mrs. Horn, Alonzo W. owning the rest. John C. Clemens, the father of this family,
served for many years as justice of the peace; he was first cousin of Samuel Clemens,
RICHARD HAWKINS STULL.better known as the nom de plume of "Mark Twain."
Mr. and Mrs. William M. Horn reside on eighty-five acres of the Clemens farm, part
of the old homestead, and he also owns part of the old homestead containing 125 acres, on
which he was born and raised, and on which is an extensive stone quarry, leased to the
Pittsburgh Stone Company, and he realizes a handsome royalty. Mr. Horn gives his attention
to farming and stock raising. In politics he votes with the Republican party.

WILSON LINVILLE is a native of Washington county, Penn., born March 12, 1846, on
his father's farm in Donegal township. He is a son of George Linville, whose grandfather,
Peter Linville, was a pioneer farmer of Mt. Pleasant township, Washington Co., Penn., and
there reared a family of children, one of whom was Jeremiah Linville, grandfather
of the subject of this sketch; three other sons-- Peter, Aaron and Lewis--moved to Kentucky,
where they lived and died.
Jeremiah Linville was born in 1790, in Mt. Pleasant township, and on attaining a
mature age enlisted in the army during the war of 1812. In the Ohio campaign he chanced to
see Aaron Linville, one of his three brothers who had gone to Kentucky many years before,
and was then a member of a Kentucky regiment. But they were on a rapid march, which was
immediately followed by an engagement, so the brothers had no chance to speak--a formal
salute as their eyes met in startled recognition, and again they parted. In 1811 Jeremiah Linville
was united in marriage with Elizabeth Riley, who was born in 1795, near Winchester,
Va., and afterward came with her parents to Washington county, Penn. To Mr. and Mrs. Linville
children were born as follows: Lavina (deceased), Maria (deceased), George W., Lucretia (Mrs.
Samuel Hanen, of Maidsville, W.Va.), Harriet, Drucilla, Cyrena (the latter three being deceased),
Caroline (widow of Henry Hilloc, of Wetzel county, W.Va.) and Amanda (Mrs. Frank Fisher, of
Claysville, Penn.) Mr. Linville lived near Atchison, Donegal township, the greater part
of his life, but in later years moved to West Middletown, same county, and lived in retirement
with his wife until they were both laid to rest, after a life of many and useful years.
George W. Linville, father of our subject, was born August 10, 1816, in Donegal township,
and secured his education in the common school of the day. In 1836 he was united in marriage
with Mary Rodgers, who was born January 22, 1819, a daughter Francis Rodgers, and she bore
him children as follows: Alfred (deceased), George, Elizabeth, Mary Jane (deceased),
Francis, Wilson, Jeremiah, John and Calvin Terry. The mother of these children died in
1865, and in 1867 Mr. Linville was married to Lydia Lucas, who was born September 29,
1838, a daughter of Benjamin Lucas of Donegal township, Washington county, and they had
two sons: Roley and Newton, both of whom are living at home. Mr. Linville has always been
a farmer. In politics he is a Republican, and he and his wife are members of the Dutch Fork
Disciple Church.
Wilson Linville, son of George and Mary (Rodgers) Linville, was brought when a young
child top Independence township, this county, with his parents, receiving his education
at the common schools. On October 16, 1884, he was married to Ella Condit, who was born
June 9, 1863, a daughter of Cephas Condit, of Amwell township, and to this union were born
two children: Florence May and Harry Wilson. After his marriage Mr. Linville located on
the old "Bane farm," a valuable tract of land, located one mile southwest of Atchison,
which is now owned by himself and his brother Frank. They are extensive wool growers.
Politically Wilson Linville is a Republican, and has frequently filled offices of trust
in his township, the duties of which he has performed with much credit. In religious
connection he is an officer in and prominent member of the Disciple Church.
Francis Linville, a brother of Wilson, with whom he is engaged in business,
followed the carpenter's trade in early life, and afterward formed the above spoken
of partnership with his brother. In politics he also is a Republican. The Linville
Bros., are recognized as honest and upright citizens, and enjoy the reputation of being
thoroughly capable business men. The Lindville brothers-- Wilson, Francis and Calvin Terry--
located on the old farm in Donegal township in October, 1874.

Articles in "Democrat Messenger," of Waynesburg, Pa. by Andrew J. Waycoff
Two radiating points for the pioneers settled nearby, but of less importance
were Swearingen's Fort, later Crow's Fort near the crossroads in Fayette County. Through here
the Dilliners and many others came. The other was at the home of George and Margaret Hupp
about one mile west of Millsboro in the bluff west of Black Dog Hollow, on the north of
Ten Mile Creek. The Hughes, Neils, Hillers, Swans, the Teagardners and many others came
by way of the Hupps. The Minors, the Gapens, and Jeremiah Glasgow came directly from old
Fort Redstone.
Margaret Thomas Hupp was the first white woman, who lived west of the Monongahela
River. The Hupps bought a large acreage of land from the Indians and paid them. At one time
Indians while on a murderous raid and within a few hours after the massacre of the Roeferty
family, came to the Hupp home, got something to eat, were friendly and did not disturb them.
From The History of Fayette County, Pa., by Ellis.
The first emigrant train came into the county in 1767. From Brownsville or old Fort
Redstone, they came by a rudely cut road and camped near the home of George Hupp, who
then lived on Ten Mile about one and one-half miles west from the mouth of that stream.
In 1767, a company of 62 persons was formed in Maryland and Virginia to come over
the mountains and select homes west of the Monongahela River. They consisted mostly of
families and not roaming individuals. The heads of the families were mostly of middle age.
The family names were: Hughes, Swan, Van Meter and Hiller. They crossed the Monongahela
River, where Fredericktown is now located and to George Hupp's cabin, about one half mile
up Ten Mile to a place now in Washington County. There they left their families while they
scouted the nearby country and selected a location for a new future home. They all selected
locations south of Hupp's.
Thus in the summer of 1767, lower Muddy Creek was settled. The house of George and
Margaret Hupp became the general stopping place of nearly all settlers coming to this region.
Margaret Hupp was the first white woman mentioned in history west of the Monongahela
River.
New Freeport was the principle town in the southwestern part of the county. Isaac
J. Hupp came there from the lower waters of Ten Mile in 1854. There were but three houses
in the town then. He engaged in keeping a tavern there. Judge Thompson sat in court at
Wheeling and at Morgantown for years and on his way between his Courts he lodged with Mr. Hupp.
The judge's was the first and only buggy seen there for many years. Much of the extreme
south-western part of the county was settled after Indian atrocities ceased east of the Ohio.
Everhart Hupp seems to have crossed the river at the mouth of Ten Mile and located
a short distance above the river. His cabin was just north of the creek on the rise just
west of Black Dog Hollow. His land contained 1400 acres, reaching across the creek and
doubtless above Clarksville. He bought of the Indians and was always on most friendly
terms with them. The sum paid was "one black mare and one rifle gun." Mrs. Hupp lived to
be one hundred and nine years of age.
L.K. Evans in one of his historical sketches says, "At this time, 1767, there was
but one white woman west of the Monongahela River known to the settlers. She was the wife
of George Hupp (doubtless Everhart Hupp), who located a large body of land on the north
bank of Ten Mile and erected a cabin near the creek about two miles from its mouth.
The frugal repast consisted of Johnny cake, (Journey Cake), shortened with bear's
fat, dried venison, and Adam's ale. Their hospitality soon became proverbial with the
scarce inhabitants who,were all males and the Hupp cabin, became the Sunday morning
rendezvous for all the men in the settlement. Nauseated with their own unpalatable
cooking, they would carry their choice game and fish to her, and enjoy a toothsome meal
prepared and served by the verelst? lady in the land.
For many years their home was the most useful in the settlement of this western
wilderness. It was near old Redstone Fort, near the first crossing of the Monongahela
River by public road near Fredericktown as mentioned in a former article and the unbounded
friendship and hospitality of the Hupps made it the temporary home of the new settler
until he had searched, found and tomahawked his title and brought his family to their new
home. From that home radiated lives and clusters of pioneer settlers and it became a
rallying point in the time of danger.
Among the early settlers near there, were three brothers named Teagarden:
David, William and George. George married a daughter of the Hupps. He tomahawked a claim
covering the DaGood farm and perhaps a part of the Luse land just southeast of Clarksville
and invited his neighbors to help build a cabin. Thomas Teagarden owned what is known as
the Indian Altar Patent on which is the Indian mound near Clarksville. The attorneys
who have abstracted the Hupp land say that Hupp gave to each of his children a small strip
of land where the Pittsburgh coal crops out. He recognized that it would prove of value
in the future.

Letter from Professor Wychoff [95] of Waynesburg, Pa., to J.C. Hupp.
Waynesburg, Pa.
August 19, 1925
Mr. J.C. Hupp
Parkersburg, W.Va.
Sir:--
My knowledge of the Hupp Family is quite fragmentary. My ideas of George Hupp and
Everhart Hupp seem to me to be, at times, conflicting. The family of which I have written
lived on a knoll of land about 1 to 1 1/2 miles west of Millsboro, Washington County, Pa.,
and east of Clarksville. On the north side of the present road and the creek--Ten Mile,
near the present brick house.
George Hupp, husband, Margaret Hupp, wife.
Some newspaper clippings lead on to fear that his name was Everhart.
They were certainly there in 1767, and also in 1768. Some early settlers made their
headquarters there while hunting for lands to suit them.
Years ago a woman, whose maiden name was Hupp, wrote to me from somewhere
south of Cameron, W.Va. and got notes from me.
A family by the same name lived about 35 years ago, about 6 miles east of Wheeling
and two miles west of Jefferson, Pa. A young man of this family left this section
of the country to play baseball. A young woman has been lost sight of by me. Where they
lived is near Stoney Point. I never knew the older folks.
L.K. Evans, a good historian, writing about 1876, spoke of the Hupps. I can send
you what he said.
A few years ago I wrote concerning them. Especially concerning Margaret. She was
doubtless the first white woman west of the Monongahela River. I may be able to copy from
my files of the above. The newspaper, Noble County (Ohio) Republican, of 1881-2 speaks of
Phillip Hupp as the man who shot Simon Girty, the renegade. Phillip Hupp was a scout and
woods ranger in troublous Indians times. Philip had four brothers (only 3 are listed).
They all came from Shenandoah County, Virginia about 1770. They settled on or near Buffalo
Creek, Washington County, Pa. One brother returned to Virginia.
Frank Hupp was shot by an Indian at Jonathan Link's cabin about 12 miles east of
Wheeling, W.Va., September 1771. John was killed at Miller's Blockhouse, Easter Sunday,
1782. Palsar, a brother. Philip went later to Noble County, Ohio and settled on Duck Creek.
These were the names of the brothers as told by historian, L.K. Evans.
As mentioned in Evan's last article, no name Everhart or George occurs. They came
doubtless after George and Everhart came.
The Hupps -- George bought lands of the Indians, paid them and this branch of
the family were quite friendly with the Indians.
I can ask for other later Hupps near Clarksville. You may have my articles
and also those of L.K. Evans, if so, it is needless to copy them.
In Pa. Archives, Vol. LI, of the Seventh Series, page 394-5, mention is made of
Lieutenant Everhart and Philip Hupp, as being in Captain John Miller's Company, Westmoreland
County Militia. This company was with William Crawford in his fatal expedition against
Sandusky, Ohio.
In the Seventh Series, Vol. 3, page 1550, it gives the names of the following Hupps:
Everhart, Michael, Philip and the following Hupps on page 1549: Everhart, Henry and John.
In the General Index, Third Series, Vol. XXVII, page 752, it gives Everhart, Jacob
and John Hupp.
In Third Series, Vol. XXVI, page 564: Lieutenant Everhart Hupp was granted a
warrant for 100 acres of land in Washington County, Pa.
Volume XXII: Everhart Hupp is named as a Ranger of the Frontier 1778 to 1783.
Index of Fifth Series, Vol. XV, page 1069: Everhart, John and Philip are mentioned.
Fifth Series, Volume IV: The above three as receiving depreciation pay for services
in the Continental Line.
I will enquire for Hupps in the Garner Tenmile Valley. I have little time to copy
off the writing of myself or L.K. Evans. You doubtless have seen them.
Very respectfully,
Andrew J. Wyckoff
In response to your letter of August 15, 1925, P.S. Professor Wyckoff wrote a book
of which there are only a few copies. This book is of value historically. H.B. Jones,
archivist at Waynesburg, Pa. had 2 copies of it. It was published by The Waynesburg
Democrat, we think Prof. Wayckoff was an authority on Indian trails.

Abraham Teagarden a book by Helen Elizabeth Vogt
Bate's History of Greene County., Pa.
1718 Soliginger German
Abraham Teagarden was an educated civil agri. engineer and came from Prussia to
America in 1744, located first in Philadelphia, Pa., where in 1745 he married Miss Mary
Parker of Annoplis, Maryland of English birth. Their oldest child, William Teagarden,
was born in Philadelphia, January 17, 1776. Sometime later this Abraham Teagarden,
with his family moved to western Pennsylvania. William Teagarden was married to Bethia
Craig of Maryland. Shortly after this, Abraham and William Teagarden and two other
families named Hughes and Hupp made the first settlement attempt in the limits of Greene
County, near where Clarksville now stands. Old Fort Redstone, near Brownsville was the
nearest fort or place of refuge from savage marauders. William Teagarden and his wife had,
on one occasion taken refuge in old Fort Redstone and it was there on March 6, 1775 that
Abraham Teagarden (19-Feb.1775), grandfather of John P. Teagarden was born.
George Hupp
After a good bit of study over a long period of time I have came to the conclusion
that George Hupp was a brother of Everhart. Since he settled near him in East Bethlehem
Township and later, went to Virginia and took the oath of allegiance along with John and
lived near him, he must have been a brother. This settlement later was a part of Washington
County, Pa., but was claimed by Virginia in early settlement days.
From The Horn Papers.
The much disputed Horn Papers says that George Hupp settled at , Fort Millsboro,
in 1766. John Hardin, the Kentucky pioneer, on a visit to his old home in Millsboro
in 1800 related how he, George Teagarden and George Hupp and wood rangers punished
a band of Cayuga-Seneca Indians for making raids in Morgan and Jefferson Townships
in June 1774.
The Cayuga-Seneca Indians were the main tribes that were forever waging war on
the Delawares back in the early days when the Delawares were numbered by thousands,
but at peace with the white fur traders. The Cayuga-Seneca Indians were far from inferior
in their mode of living and in their ability to live at easy from the crops of natural
growth that the Delawares had here on every side.
When the Frence set out to destroy the Delawares in 1748, it was the Cayuga-Senecas
that led the murderous bands to Flint Top to and their old enemies hold in the land that
once was filled with their relatives. The Shennoak Tribe, who drove the similar bands of
Wyandottes of Crin Indians out of hiding and took these bands at a time when neither
Frenchmen nor Englishmen knew the lands. The massacre of the Spicers, Thomeses, Bennetts
and others decided the settlers to end the Cayuga-Seneca claims in the country west of
the river. In the winter of 1773-4 several settlers set to work to build a fish pot wing of
stone at the mouth of Wolf Run and throw the flow of the river into one swift narrow stream.
This was directed below the old Cayuga-Seneca Ford on the rocks where for decades
they crossed with out mishap. The next lower crossing was at the Redstone bar.
In April 1774, a band of these Indians from Westmoreland crossed at this lower crossing
to the west side and were preparing to raid the settlements around Ft. Teagarden,
but the settlers were prepared to defend themselves. All the cattle, mules and sheep were
driven into the timber or crooked run and one hundred wood rangers, scouts, night
raiders and settlers, all well armed were determined to drive these Indians to destruction.
Not a white person showed a hand until these Indians were above the fire pot. Forty riflemen
then closed in below them and Teagarden and I gave orders to fire and rush the Indians
knowing that they would at once break for their old crossing. About three score ran to the
crossing but they found four or five feet of water that was forty paces wide with a current
that even an Indian could not brace. Several of them were swept down through the pot where
twenty riflemen, on the rocks, pierced every Indian with balls, and let their bodies
float down the river. Only a few of the Indians were allowed to escape. It was agreed to
let every tenth Indian escape but it was believed that only four of them were left to
carry the white settler's law back to the Cayuga-Seneca chiefs. This final punishment
was the last of the twenty year raids made by the Indians on the Monongahela River.
George Hupp was named as a settler at Camp Catfish in 1772. George Teagarden's
homestead names INDIAN ALTAR was the largest tract of land taken by any homesteader
in Northwest Augusta County. After establishing his homestead, he left the ferry in charge of
John Harris and went to help his brother William build a log house. He returned to Ft.
Teagarden to his wife and child Abraham, to find George Hupp and his Delaware Indian wife
had claimed a large portion of his homestead through Hupp's wife's rightful claims as a
member of the Delaware tribe. The dispute is supposed to have been settled by personal combat
between the two men, which was won by Teagarden.
George Hupp was born in New Jersey in 1734. He went to Maryland when he was fourteen
and shipped with a trading vessel for the West Indies in 1750. In 1755, he was in the
Virginia Militia at the battle of the Monongahela. After Braddock's defeat he escaped
and went up the Monongahela River to Fort Redstone. In 1763, he was at Fort Queen
Elizabeth for about 2 months. In 1764, he met and married a Delaware Indian girl living at a
small Delaware Indian camp on Kithning or Chartier's Creek.
In the old court records copied by Horn, George Hupp's name appears many times. He
helped to build roads, make trails, get supplies, guard supplies, take part against
Indians of the Northern Lake Tribes, etc. Once he seems to have been in trouble, "Camp
Catfish Corte, September 2, 1772. On a complaint of Samuel Jackson that George Hupp, be
tight and very obnoxious at Teagarden's Ferry and charged with throwing his Indian
wife in the river, the Corte made Ord that the sheriff with Samuel Jackson and John Teagarden
each lay seven lashes on the said George Hupp between the hour of ten and twelve this day,
and the same to be made witness to by any settler at the Fort."
On May 4, 1777 George Hupp was named as being in war services of Monongalia
and Yohogania Counties of the Colony of Virginia. Many early Pa. settlers were also amongst
the number. The Delaware Indians had a direct line of signal communications from the war
chief camp at what is now, Jefferson, Greene County, by way of their common council ground
on the level land in the present village of Clarksville on the main camp of the tribe just
west from where Marianna, Washington Co. is located. This line was often referred to
by members of the tribe living in Oklahoma as late as 1888. The high cairn at Jefferson
from which the signals were made was on the hill east from Jefferson, Pa., and a second cairn
was on the ridge road on the old farm patented by Jacob Rush. This ridge forms one of the
natural sites in Pa., where the two towns can be seen plainly from the same point. From
this point the Indians signalled to the fire stone in what is now Clarksville on the lawn of
the old Amos Walton home. Carin three was on the Hupp hill and thus the line continued on
from place to place until the last carin was reached, located on Indian Ridge on the homestead
taken by Christopher Horn in 1755.
Fort Logan was built by George Hupp, about one mile from Fort Teagarden on the
highland above the Monongahela River in 1767. Six years later it was destroyed by fire.
George Hupp was one of the wood rangers who with Colonel Minor's Company, The
Prichette Morgans, and others wiped out the last of the Cherokee Indians at Valley Falls,
Va., in June 1774
The W.F. Horn History
The following items from The Horn Papers concerning George Hupp are likely worth
consideration. The Horn History was much maligned and declared spurious. However, my
own uncles told me that some of the Hupps served with pirates in the West Indies and Horn
comes up with this statement about George. So, if tradition this supposed history
agree, then I accept the statements as being likely true.
"George Hupp was born in New Jersey in 1734. He went to Maryland when he was fourteen
and shipped with a trading vessel for the West Indies in 1750. In 1755, he was in the
Virginia Militia at the battle of the Monongahela. After Braddock's defeat he escaped and
went up the Monongahela River to Fort Redstone. In 1763, he was at Fort Queen Elizabeth
for about 2 months. In 1764, he met and married a Delaware Indian girl living at a small
Delaware Indian camp on Kithning or Chartier's Creek.
They had ten children. He settled on the north side of Ten Mile Creek in Washington
county in 1767. In 1771 he moved to another tract of land. George Hupp died about 1823.
His wife died about 1816. (Horn doesn't tell where he got his record and it sounds a
great deal like the land record of Everhart Hupp.)
Horn further says, "The Delaware Indians had a direct line of signal communications
at what is now Jefferson, Greene County, Pa., by way of their common council ground on
level land in the center of the present village of Clarksville on to the main camp of
the tribe, just west from where Marianna, Washington County is now located. This line of
communication was often referred to by members of the tribe living in Oklahoma as late as
1888. The High Cairn at Jefferson from which the signals were made was on the hill east of
Jefferson, Pa. and a second cairn was on the ridge road on the old farm patented and owned by
Jacob Rush. The ridge forms one of the natural sites in Pa. where the two towns can be seen
plainly from the same point. From this point the Indians signalled to the fire stone in
what is now Clarksville on the lawn of the old Amos Walton home. Cairn three was on the Hupp
hill and thus the line continued on from place to place until the last cairn was reached,
located on Indian Ridge on the homestead taken up by Christopher Horn in 1755."
The above mentioned cairn stood intact until about 1825. The cairn and stone in
Clarksville were removed by Reuben Teagarden in 1832. (If Mr. Horn was making up history he
surely made it sound right.)
The Battle of Flint Top took place near Scenery Hill, Washington County, Pa. It resulted
in the defeat and scattering of the Delawares.
The Delaware Indian Tribe, as it was known from 1664 to 1748 was the more civilized
of the Indian Tribes and was loyal to William Penn and to all the English followers of
this colony of Virginia, but this tribe held a look from the French and would not either in
spirit or alliance lend assistance to the French to establish the French and Indian empire
that the French were planning at this time and from the meager sources now at hand it
appears that about 1700 The Five Nations of the North and their blood relatives beyond the
Mississippi determined to overthrow the great power held by the Delaware tribe, who held their
domains in the French territorial claims which the Frence could not dislodge or make treaty
with; this condition was made more potent when it is understood the Delawares held in common
with the English claims in the territory and were friendly and in harmony with the English
explorers west of the mountains of Virginia.
(My own comment-- George Hupp may have been a brother to Everhart. He may have
married an Indian girl. This may account for the fact that Hupps were not molested by
the Indians even when on scalping expeditions.)
The Horn Papers no doubt have much value, but, it is likely the statements
were changed and doctored. So, because some of it is not authentic we must discount
largely the entire history. No one seems to know much about the material Mr. Horn picked
up, as he says from a trunk which was kept through all the years in Kansas. Anyhow, he
returned and wrote history by the wholesale. If any one wanted to know of any event or
genealogy he always found it. His history of the Hupps in England is likely spurious
because the Hupps are German.
We are using some of the items since they do seem likely in line with life on
the frontier.
"Camp Catfish Corte, September 5, 1772. On a complaint of Samuel Jackson that George
Hupp, be tight and very obnoxious at Teagarden's Ferry and charged with throwing his Indian
wife in the river, the Corte made Ord that the sheriff with Samuel Jackson and John Teagarden
each lay seven lashes on the said George Hupp between the hour of ten and twelve this day, and
the same to be made witness to by any settler at the Fortes. The Corte do now ord all cost
and tax money to be set in Corte Record book I and III, same to be made to John Canon
councillor and Corte director. No set business before the Corte, I Jacob Horn do now close
the Corte as directed. C. Horn, Clerk. Jacob Horn, justie."
George Hupp with the Teagardens and others are said to have built the first road
in Washington County, Pa. In 1772, Horn mentions George Hupp as living at Camp Catfish.
Horn says: George Hupp and his family made 3000 pounds of home made sugar in the
spring of 1790. They drove an ox-team loaded with sugar, sassafras, and dressed wild deer to
Staunton, late in April and the old story was that they made a good sale. They brought
back salt, gunpowder, lead, and four chairs that were still in use in Clarksville in
1876 by the Hupp families.
Out of old man Horn;s jumble of statements, there is likelihood that some of the
Hupps were intermarried with the Indians. The Hupp tradition about Clarksville confirms
this, but, it is certain that my great-great grandmother was a Thomas and that George
Hupp must have been another member of the family and not synonymous with Everhart Hupp.
The Horn History says, "George Hupp settled at Teagarden's Fort (Millsboro)
in 1766 and Enoch O'Brine and the Barnards erected log cabins on that site in 1767. And in
1766, Abraham Teagarden settled there from the east of the river, and in 1776, his son
George Teagarden erected Fort Teagarden and established Teagarden's Ferry."
Mr. Everhart Hupp died at his home near Cameron, W.Va. on Thursday, September 10,
1895, aged 70 years, 9 months, and 12 days. Years ago he connected himself with the Church of
God and lived a consistent Christian life. His grandfather emigrated from the Virginia from
the Virginia Colony and was among the pioneer abolitionists a great reader and an earnest
advocate and supporter of popular education. He was kind and charitable. The poor never
went hungry from his door.

March 10, 1952
Dear Mr. Hupp
Looking over Greater Wheeling and Vicinity 1912 Book I came across where Adam Rowe
(who was father of Ann Hupp, wife of John Hupp killed in 1782). "John Hupp, George
Hupp of Ohio County, swore allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ohio County
extended considerable into Pa. State at that time."
John Hupp : October 1, 1777.
George Hupp : October 15, 1777.
Adam Rowe : October 4, 1777.
The above dates are when they swore allegiance. Frank Hupp killed 1771. The others I have no dates on.
Thought you would be interested in the above to complete your data on the Hupp Family.
Respectively,

Mr. John C. Hupp
Fairmont, W.Va. February 10, 1952
Dear Mr. Hupp:
I came across a very interesting letter that was among my father's papers which
I have been neglecting for some time and which this particular letter requires a magnifying
glass to read or decipher, the same. It was written by my father to Dr. J.C. Hupp, August
21, 1871, date location near West Alexander, Pa. Dr. Hupp, his father, had evidently
requested him to get some information regarding Philip Hupp. He wrote that his grandmother
was not able to answer one question about Philip Hupp. That Phillip Hupp was an old man over
70, when she first heard of him--but, she did remember about thirty years before, Phillip
Hupp's son, Henry had visited her and told her that when the War of 1812 started, his
father Philip Hupp, then an old man of 70 or 80 years old had shouldered a gun and went to
Detroit with the soldiers and that was the last she ever heard of him. This is first I had
heard of Henry Hupp excepting your letter which states was: one of the original brothers and
had gone back to Virginia.
I do not know if this is any value to you or if you already have Henry Hupp as Philip's
son, but, would be glad to show you the letter also Dr. J.C. Hupp's Scrap Book some day when
you are in Wheeling and have several hours to spare.
25 Edgewood St. Best regards,

From Kercheval's History of The Valley:
Dr. James L. Hupp
"In the year of 1774, there were four families, Ash, Bumgardner, Croft and Hupp, who
settled at a place called Tea Garden at Ten Mile Creek, on the Monongahela River. They
had entered into a contract with the Indians for permission to occupy a certain quantity of
land and the privilege of hunting on the lands for which they agreed to pay a small annual
rent. When Dunmore's War commenced a messenger was sent to them warning them of their danger
and advising them to remove immediately into the Fort Redstone. The messenger stated to
them that if they remained they would all be killed. Several Indians were present and
their chief replied to be bearer of the message, "Tell your king that he is a d____ liar.
The Indians will not kill them," and the people remained at their homes through the war
undisturbed.

Hupp Items
19-Feb.1968
Many of my conclusions have been come by after considerable investigation.
Casper Hupp of Shenandoah County, Virginia, has been spoken of by Virginia Historians
as likely the earliest Hupp in the Shenandoah Valley.
It is my opinion he was the father of Everhart Hupp. Casper came into the Valley
about 1735. If he about 35 years of age and he had a son, Everhart--the latter would be in
his early 30's when he crossed the mountains and Everhart likely came to Washington
County, Pa., about 1765 or 1767.
Casper could have been his grandfather, but more likely his father.
The Washington County, Pa. Hupps in Civil War days were strong Union men and supporters
of Abraham Lincoln. The Hupps of Shenandoah County, about Strasburg and Woodstock,
were ardent Southerners--but of course, that was a matter of geography.
In Pa Archives 6th Series, Volume II, Philip Hupp was a scout. He appears in Capt.
John Miller's Co. 6th Series, Vol. II as a private.
Philip Hupp appears amongst the early U.S. Marines in James Willings Co. from January
10, 1778 to June 3, 1779, as a private.
Bessie Gill searcher in Wa. State Library found (1923) that Philip Hupp had service
with George Rogers Clark. (Her letter to Dr. James L. Hupp now 1968 head Department

ARMINDA HUPP
DAUGHTER OF JOSEPH HUPP. Joseph was a grandson of the original John Hupp, who was killed
by the Indians. I met Arminda Hupp at the Hupp reunions we held in the twenties. I was
instrumental in getting together the Clarksville, Cameron and Wheeling branches for these
reunions. The Clarksville Hupps had been meeting for some years. The others had not. They
met for a few years and then it all fell back to Clarksville people again and I understand
Hupp-Miles group are still meeting.
The first letter I have at hand from Arminda was in Nov. 1925. She had a large farm
to look after. Her brother, Gavin's wife was ill and his children were attending Claysville
High School. She says she enjoyed the reunion where we had met in late summer. She looked
like Dr. Frank LeMoyne Hupp of Wheeling.
The next letter was June 21, 1926.
She says, "Dr. John C. Hupp, 2nd and family were there again at her home and they decided
when to hold the Hupp, Cox, Miles reunion. (At that time I was moving my family from
Parkersburg back to Fairmont and could not be present). She says the old graveyards are
nearby. Part of the foundation of the first Hupp's cabin was still there and Indian darts
still to be found. Two of the Miller great-granddaughters of the Miller killed the Easter
Sunday 1782, still living at that time. John Hupp and Miller were buried in the same grave.
Arminda's grandfather, John Hupp carried a sandstone from the creek and placed it at the
grave of Hupp and Miller and it is still there with H M on it.
(I missed a great deal when I missed that meeting.) Dr. Frank Hupp and many others
were there along with descendants of the Millers, etc. I never saw these old landmarks.
I have another letter from Arminda, July 31, 1927.
She wanted me to give some history which I did. However, she spoke of the Cox's,
to whom I was not related.
She says, John, son of Samuel Hupp came to America about 1608. He was from Holland.
She says, Isaac Cox was Lord Cox's son from Germany. The Cox family was prominent in
early settlements and there were still several about West Liberty when I was there.
WEST ALEXANDER, PA. AUGUST 15, 1927.
Dear Cousin: The Samuel Hupp of which I spoke was the one in Holland: His sons, Jan or John
Emilias came to America soon after the summer of 1608. They seem to be the first ones here.
They settled in eastern Virginia and later came to Pennsylvania. My father, Joseph Hupp
would have been 110 years old this November. He was advanced in years when married. His
father was John, as was his grandfather, the one who was killed at Miller's Fort. It seems
from the old patents and quit claims that John and Philip came here and took up land by
Tomahawk rights. John had 1500 acres of land and Philip was killed by Indians as was John (&
Frank) (Comment by J.C. Hupp, editor, "I think she, Arminda, was in error about Philip. She
was confused with Frank). Philip, south of West Alexander, on the Hugh Erskin place and
John at Miller Blockhouse. I don't know how they came to be in Kentucky or how John became
acquainted with Ann Rowe, but it appears the Cox family went to Kentucky all but Michael
whose descendants are still in West Liberty. I found out some more about the Cox folks.
Hoping to see you before the reunion.
I remain
your cousin,
Arminda
TRIP THROUGH WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA.
November 4, 1938
Met Hilda Reese, granddaughter of John Hupp, of near Amity, at Washington, and
went down after talking with her to her grandfather's farm, about 2 or 3 miles north-west
from Amity near the paved highway from Waynesburg to Washington. John Hupp, son of Uriah,
son of Everhart, 79 years old, November 11, 1938. I talked to him and son, Miles and ate
dinner with them. John was to come after him in the evening.
We stopped near Marianna, between Marianna and Clarksville to see the Lutheran
Cemetery where John's wife is buried and where his father, Uriah, is buried and wife, also.
We saw his three sisters, Mrs. Abigail Miles, Mrs. Sadie Murray, and Mrs. Minnie Teagarden
at Clarksville. Mrs. Miles' daughter, Mrs. Arnold and her husband, sons and daughters were
there, also. John and I took Mr. Arnold and went to Brisco on the old Hupp farm to an old
cemetery, with sandstone tombstones, where John's grandparents were buried and copied the
data on the stones. Old Everhart had land here on both sides of the creek (Ten Mile) and
in both Greene County and Washington County. These old headstones are in sight of a considerable
coal development all around. One mine house is right alongside the graves and it isn't likely
they will exist so very long.
The data is as follows: Everhart Hupp buried here without a headstone; John Hupp died
October 16, 1839, age 66 years & 15 days; Barbary Hupp, consort of John Hupp, born March
26, 1785, died August 1, 1843; Hanna Hupp, wife of John Hupp, departed this life December
23, 1816, age 30 years, 11 months & 19 days, (John had 2 wives); Elizabeth, daughter
of John, born February 13, 1825, died October 25, 1846.
We next went to Millsboro and Fredricktown. The graveyard showed no interest for
us. We met Mr. Bane, the banker, descendant of George Hupp (son of George, son of Everhart)
who told me he did not know where Everhart was buried. We next went up to Buckingham
graveyard, but no old settlers except Buckingham's were buried there. It is very likely the old
man and wife , who lived to 109 and 105 respectively were buried somewhere on the farm,
perhaps alongside of John, but there is no tombstone to indicate it. However, tradition
says they were.
In the Luthern graveyard at Marianna, I copied: Uriah Hupp, born December 12,
1827, died June 23, 1911; wife, Marinda, born December 21, 1827, died March 13, 1910; Uriah's
children: John, (wife Caroline); Aaron (deceased); Harry (at Sandy Plains); Alonzo (deceased),
son Roy, (children Palmetta, Carol, Mabel and Kenneth); William (deceased) married Mag
Addleman, children: Iva; Martha; Frank (deceased), Jane Sharpneck, children, Stars, Frank,
Sadie, Maude; Minnie Teagarden; Annie, daughter of Sadie Murry; Abigale Miles; Anne Teagarden,
daughter of Minnie, married Robert Crain. The last three at Clarksville, 1938.
CULPEPPER COUNTY, VIRGINIA--APRIL 1962.
One of our former Marion County, West Virginia school teachers has been teaching for
seven years in Culpepper, Va. He has taken an interest including what now makes up several
other counties, including the county of Shenandoah.
I stopped some years ago at the courthouse at Culpepper and could not find records
of the Hupp family although historians of Greene and Washington Counties, Pa., state that
the Hupps came from Culpepper County, with other German families. At Woodstock, county seat
of Shenandoah County, I found in 1961 many records of the Hupps including what seems to have
been the original Hupp settler, there, Casper Hoop.
I am firmly convinced that these Hupps came early to what is now Shenandoah
County, and that our own migrated from that county. Further, I am quite sure Casper Hupp
was our ancestor and I think the father of the boys who crossed the mountains about 1766.
Some of the family in the same county built the old blockhouse still standing at Strausburg.
Many were about New Market in the same county. The migrations in many other directions
across the country seem all to came from what is now Shenandoah County.
So this was the center of the early settlement. Some stopped at Winchester
but, must have moved on for the present Hupps there that we have found came up from Shenandoah
County. Like all Germans, they liked good land and they had it in the Valley of Virginia. This
Culpepper troubled me for a lon time. It has developed to be just as I suspected. In
my own mind, I now know that when our ancestors came from Palatine Germany and settled near
Philadelphia, they later crossed at the Blackhorse Ford near Shepherdstown and with many other
German families came to this promised land. Then some fanned out across the Mountains and
some remained as has been true of nearly all these American families.
J.C. Hupp
TRIP TO CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA-SEP. 12 TO 17 INCLUSIVE 1961
I took in some Hupp investigation on the trip. On the return trip I stopped at
Mount Jackson on Route 11 and talked with Dr. D.W. Hupp, with whom I have corresponded.
He is age fifty-three and square shouldered and vigorous like most of the family I have known.
He said he thought he could qualify also on being energetic and rather quick tempered. He
is one of the New Market Hupps and historian. Wayland thinks many of the Hupps of Virginia,
centered around New Market. The old Hupp cemetery, he says, is out side New Market with
very old sandstone markers and the visit to that Cemetery would likely yield considerable
information.
Dr. D.W. Hupp told me the name of the clerk of the County at the next town, which
is the County Seat of Shenandoah County, who was his friend. Marvin Sigler of Woodstock,
Virginia. While awaiting the opening of the Court House (this town was on slow time) I called
at the residence of Charles W. Hupp with whom, I had corresponded many years ago, when he
was a salesman. Later, he had a store in Woodstock, but he was retired from the store being
seventy-seven years of age.
His grandfather, was Calvin S. Hupp, who was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, on
February 28, 1835. He lived near New Market, Virginia (and is likely of the New Market group).
He had three sons, John Dewitt, born October 24, 1856; Samuel C. Hupp, born March 8, 1859;
and William H. Hupp, born in 1887. He went to near Grafton, West Virginia, where he married a
widow with two daughters, Rose and Helen. He died there about 1910.
Father of Charles W. Hupp, John DeWitt Hupp, moved to Tom Brook, Virginia, not
far from Woodstock, when Charles W., was about ten years of age. He died there January 13,
1922. Charles has a sister, Mrs. F.H. Wisman, in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Charles W. Hupp married Daisy H. Dean, who is still living.
I then went to the court house where I found in the office of the County Clerk, enough
material to keep me busy for a week if I had the time.
John and Caspar Hoop signed a note in 1784.
There is a record of Caspar Hoop in 1772.
In the sales records just proceeding Caspar is a sale record of the man whose daughter

The Valley of Virginia from Winchester, to Roanoke has a number of Hupps. In 1911,
fifty years ago as I write this, I copied records of Abram, who moved there from Shenandoah
County, and engaged in Iron manufacture. Spearyville, at the edge of the county, had a postmistress
named Zuelium Hupp about 1925 with whom I corresponded. All up and down the Valley from this
county of Shenandoah are Hupps in all these valley counties. Historian Wayland thinks New
Market was their settlement. They came here at an early day and built the blockhouse
at Strasburg. We used to be amused at the Virginians who boasted of their ancestors.
Now we find that without a doubt nearly all the early Hupps settled in Virginia before moving
westward and many are still there.
The dates of these early Hupps, seem to be about the time of the migration, to
Western Pennsylvania, or as many of them thought, western Virginia. So, we do not yet know
the forbears of this generation of the men of the Revolutionary Period, who crossed the
mountains about 1776.
J.C. Hupp
A TRIP TO FREDRICKTOWN, PA.
JULY 9, 1961, TO SEE THE ORIGINAL
EVERHART HUPP FARM.
Mrs. Hupp and I set aside the day, after attending Sunday School classes, to travel
to the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Russell Bane at Fredricktown, in Washington County, Pa.
R.S. Bane is a semi-retired banker, who is a great-great-grandson of Everhart Hupp through
Everhart's son, George Hupp. He and I drove over to the original Everhart Hupp farm. There
is no longer any house there and the farm is grown up in second growth trees, briars and
weeds. The land seems to have been well worn out up on the Sand Plains ridge, likely because
it was sandy to begin with. From the top of the ridge we could look down from the original
cabin to the Monongahela River where it received the flow of the Ten-Mile Creek. Everhart's
hand starts along the Ten Mile Creek and goes backover the ridge making up several hundred
acres originally.
The fine vein of coal under the land has been removed and the land has returned to
the wilderness. A man living in a house located on a section of the original farm told as
his wife was bitten on the leg the day before by a copperhead snake. Deer have come back to
the woodland sections of the farm.
Mr. Bane has some old deeds which he has brought to his home for me to see along
with other items.
"Hop's Regard--387 acres and allowances. In pursuance of the order of survey of
the order of survey #3318, dated June 3, 1769. The above is a tract of land situate on
the west of the Monongahela River and on Ten Mile Creek called Hupp's Regard, containing
387 acres with 6% allowances for roads, etc. Surveyed April 17, 1784. Everhard Hop by David
Redick. Survey Book 3, page 417."
Russell Bane has a large account book in which was kept charges against customers, who
did not pay cash. Many old citizens names are there including: George Bumgardner,
Philip Hupp and Isaac Hupp. The first page is dated May 4, 1837. Imri (Hupp the young merchant)
was son of Philip and grandson of Everhart.
These old deeds copies and records are revealing. It seems that Everhart sold some
land to each of four of his sons; John, Michael, Philip and George as will appear in t
he deed that follows:
"Everhart Hupp and Margaret, his wife to Philip Hupp and his heirs and assigns. Deed
dated May 10, 1825, acknowledged May 9, 1821, recorded May 10, 1825, Deed Book #1, Vol. II,
page 1.
Whereas the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, aforesaid, I by patent dated May 17, 1788
and enrolled in Patent Book #13, Page 14, etc. did grant unto the said Everhart Hupp and his
heirs and assignes forever, a tract of land in the County aforesaid, containing 387 acres
and allowance, reference being thereunto had will more fully & at large appear.
Now, this indenture witnesseth, grant and bargains and sell all following
bounded and described tract or parcel of land being in part of the tract above mentioned.
Begining at the elm tree on the bank of Ten Mile Creek thence to Michael Hupp's land
north 18o 19 perch to a white walnut; thence by George Hupp's land south 891/20 west 45 perches
to a white oak. north 710 west 841/2 perches to a beech , thence to John Hupp's lands. South
401/2, west 1491/4 perches to the said creek, thence down several meanders of the same
338/3/10 perches to the place of beginning.
Containing 141 acres strict measure, be the same more or less signed, sealed both
by two witnesses mark acknowledged. Wife separate mark."
The old sheep skin, or original deed, is in possession of Sara Hupp, in Illinois, who
has given it to her neice for safe keeping in a bank box at Chicago. Sarah is great-granddaughter
of Everhart Hupp through George. She is now elderly.
This deed shows that education was not as well distributed at that time as of now,
and that Everhart and Margaret, both made their mark. On May 3, 1841, Philip and Phebe Johnson
Hupp, his wife, sold some land and Philip made his mark. But Phebe seems to have signed her
own name as is evidenced by her Bible Records which she made in some detail.
We note that in all these early deeds conveyed to and from Everhart, his name is
spelled Everhard which would be the German spelling. However, my grandfather, who was his
grandson, and named for this same Everhard, spelled his name Everhart according to the sound
of the German "d". Some Greene County historians spelled it Everhard.
Everhard and his heirs had considerable dealings with Frank W. Horner and Elizabeth
Horner. A.L. Hupp of the George Hupp branch of the family had dealings with Hiram Horner.
I mentioned this because historian Lecky notes the Horners intermarried with the Hupps.
We visited the old Hupp Cemetery which was located down by the river at Besco (named
for a steel company) and which cemetery was sold in error to a man who built a house nearby _____?
rescued by the conveyer, when they found a cemetery was located on the land, and is now well
cared for. To destroy a cemetery is strictly illegal in Pennsylvania.
There are five stones here: One is John Hupp, who died October 16, 1839, aged 66 years
and 15 days; Hannah Hupp, wife of John Hupp, who died December 28, 1816, age 20 years, 11
months, and 17 days. Also Barbary Hupp, his wife, born March 26, 1785, and died August 1,
1843. Barbary's daughter, Elizabeth is also buried here. The first wife was Hannah Horner.
There is a stone here very low and heavy and long, that seems to be part of the cemetery. It
is in our opinion what is left of the grave stone of Everhart and his wife, Margaret.
It may have sunk, or it may not have had any records on it. But since it was on the home
farm, and since John is buried here, it is likely that Everhart and Margaret are buried here
also. That is the tradition anyhow of the children of Uriah with whom I talked many years.

MORE HUPP HISTORY
January 25, 1968
J.C. Hupp
They settled along the Monongahela River near the mouth of Tenmile Creek where it meets
the Monongahela. Near half a century ago when I first attended a Hupp reunion, quite a
number of them lived in and about Clarksville--some distance up stream from the old Hupp
settlement.
Howard Lecky worked with me and I with him. I furnished him with most of his Hupp
records of the family. So, I don't hesitate to use his Hupp statement.
He says, sometime before 1769, Crumrine says 1766, Everhart Hupp came from Culpepper
County, Virginia, to settle near the mouth of Ten Mile. The location which he chose was
at the place later known as Black Dog Hollow, about opposite to where the first bridge spans
the creek. Here he built a sizable cabin which became a place of entertainment (perhaps
for a price) for the immigrants as well as a temporary stopping place. Famous personages
are said to have stopped at Hupps including George Washington on one of his western
trips. We are told that one of the main attractions at Hupp's place was his wife, the
former Margaret Thomas, who it is reliably claimed was the first white woman to settle west
of the Monongahela River. With Everhart Hupp were his brothers, John, Philip and probably
George Hupp, since tradition states there were five brothers. Everhart Hupp was not long in
seeing the possibilities of the section and bought land adjoining his original claim. Later,
he bought two more tracts further up Ten Mile Creek near the present village of Ten Mile. He
does not seem to have been disturbed by the Indians at any period, perhaps due to the fact
that his hospitality was extended to white and red man alike. He took an active part in the
Revolutionary War, serving for a time as a Lieutenant in Captain Robert Sweeney's
Company, Fifth Battalion of Washington County Militia. Family Traditions report that Everhart
Hupp lived to the ripe old age of 109 years and that his wife was 105 when she died. They
were the ancestors of the Clarksville Hupps.
Children of Everhart and Margaret Thomas Hupp:
1. Elizabeth Hupp, born 1770. The Greene County Historians have no record of her
life, but Mrs. Eileen Evans of Sterling, Kansas, in researches many years ago, looked into
Caddwell's History of Belmont & Jefferson Counties in Ohio, Washington Township, 1880 and found
she had married Reuben Perkins and had named her eldest son, Everhart Perkins. They were
married 1785. Their children: Everhart; Reuben, Jr.; Lewis; Elias; Elizabeth and Rachel.
Perkins arrived in Belmont County in 1798. He was on the Susquehanna River in 1767. There
are many members of the Perkins family about Wheeling today. I don't know them.
2. George Hupp, born in 1772. He remained on the home farm near Clarksville. He
had many descendants there. Many years ago I found some of the family still on the old George
Hupp farm, which was a part of the original Everhart tract. Russell Bane of Fredericktown
deceased was a prominent banker and a descendant of George.
3. Annie Hupp born 1776.
4. Lewis or Resin Hupp born 1776.
5. John Hupp born near Clarksville, 1778. He died October 14, 1839. His wife was
Hannah Horner. One of his children was Uriah Hupp. He married Marinda Cox. She
was born December
21, 1831, and died November 19, 1899.

him. Philip's wife died there. Philip, then came back to Fred-
ericktown-the Everhart farm section for a time and then
returned to Illinois. He has descendants in California, Colora-
do and elsewhere.
7. Francis Hupp (This was the great-grandfather of J.C. Hupp). He married
Martha Debolt, daughter of George and Ann (Long) Debolt. He bought a section of the 1400 acre
Everhart Hupp farm, but, later sold it and moved his family to Hart's Run up the left hand
branch, north from Andersonville, but bordering the W.Va. line. He is buried in the Tedrow
Cemetery, but, his grave is unmarked. The (Everhart Hupp farm- J.C.'s grandfather)
reached down here to the Pa. line and certainly not far from the Francis hupp home. Like his
cousin, Isaac, he had a still house, but drank up his own profits. Died in middle age and
his wife went back to the old home section along the Monongahela. Clarissa, in her school days,
wrote to my grandfather.
Children of Francis and Martha Debolt Hupp

THE HUPP CABIN
Howard L. Leckey in his The Tenmile County and Its Pioneer Families, published in
1950, stated:
Some time between 1776 and 1769 Everhardt Hupp chose a place for his
cabin, later known as Black Dog Hollow, about opposite where the
first bridge spans Tenmile Creek. Here he built a sizeable cabin
which became a place of entertainment and shelter for the immigrants.
Field notes and original surveys of John Hodge, deputy surveyor, in the Washington and Jefferson
Historical Collections show draughts for the 452-acre "Hops Regard" and "Hops Fragments" issued
our of the Pennsylvania Land Office, Beford County, in 1769 to Everhardt and John Hop.
January 1792, Quarter Sessions Court Docket in the Washington County Courthouse
shows a petition for a road from Muddy Creek and Whiteley Road to:
Everhard Hupp's Mill to intersect the Pittsburgh Road, viewed by
Everhard Hupp, George Teegarden, Abijah McClain and Frederick Wise
[founder of Fredericktown].
The Hupp mill and dam near the mouth of Tenmile Creek were the subject of numerous
agreements on file between the Hupp and Teegarden families over control of the dam. Prosperous
George Teegarden was continually on guard to keep the Hupps out of his valuable bottomland.
Clarence Nyswaner, of the village of Clarksville, described the early road from Black
Dog Hollow up Hog Hill (so named for the "drove road" with its bands of hogs) as very muddy
in winter and very dusty in summer; they used to build runs called "breakers" to carry the water
off across the road and then rested their horses at these points with the wagon wheels in the
troughs.
Abandoned shafts into the coal banks of old along the hollow weakened the bank as it
slopes up from the small run and collapsed some of the road edge. Now another onslaught
of coal activity is in progress, this time a strip-mining operation to reach the eighteen-inch
vein of Waynesburg coal lying some forty-five feet below the surface.
It made me sick recently to drive the Sandy Plains Road in East Bethlehem
Township, Washington County, through the hollow and watch and hear the snarling earthmover
shove the chunks and slabs of sandstone and yellow clay down over the precipice to fill in a
slide, widening the precarious road so that the huge forty-five ton coal trucks could make it
down the hill to Tenmile Creek from historic Hupp Point. During the 1920's the Besco or Vesta
Coal Company dismantled the pre-Revolutionary log house and dragged the still solid, sound
logs down the hill for foundations of miners' houses. However, ownership of the surface remained
in the Hupp name until purchased in 1972 by the present strip-mining operator.
In 1970 a trip was made with Hobart and Ann Jennings, who live on part of the original
Hupp grants, to the top of the ridge where the ancient cabin had stood. The entire flat area
on the point, surrounding the foundation, had been somewhat desecrated by earlier deep mining
so that it was difficult to distinguish the coal seam cracks from the defile of the original
wagon road past the cabin.
Where we had traced the early path with its mounting block to the stoned-in spring,
almost undisturbed for two hundred years, it was now a ruined jumble of rock, yellow clay,
and brush which had destroyed the contour of the ridge, the reputed Indian mound, the spring
itself and almost every vestige of the place where the first settlers west of the Monogahela
River had stopped with the Hupp family while they reconnoitered, built their own cabins, or
sought safety from Indian attack.
A poignant reminder of the Hupp cabin as a welcome stopping place is the nuncupative
will in Washington County Will Book No. 3, page 34;
Hezekiah Wright in the latter part of the month of December 1814 at the
house of Everhart Hupp of East Bethlehem, being sick of the sickness where-
of he died on the first day of January following, in the same house, did
make and declare his Last Will which was witnessed by Rachel Perkins who
said on December 27 Hezekiah called her and Philip Hupp to the bedside
where he lay and there told the said Philip that he would will to him his
riding horse, saddle and bridle, his watch and his gun, as he thought he
would die, that he had enough in the house to bury him decently and any-
thing that remained after the funeral charges were paid he gave to the
family as there were no persons he respected more.
As to his people, they should have none of it. The black boy he had with
him had rendered such service that if he, Hezekiah died, he was free from
further bondage to anyone and was to have the black horse he rode when he
came to the premises.
The will was witnessed by George Teegarden and Everhart Hupp. On May 24, 1815, letters
of administration were issued to the witnesses "for Hezekiah Wright (A Traveller) who
died on January 1, 1815."
Andrew J. Waychoff, Waynesburg College professor and historian, wrote a series of "Local
History" columns for a Greene County newspaper in the 1930s and in one described the Hupp cabin:
Two radiating points for the pioneer settlers were Swearingen's Fort,
later Crow's Fort near the Cross Roads in Fayette County, and the home
of Everhard and Margaret Hupp about one mile west of Millboro on the bluff
west of Black Dog Hollow on the north side of Tenmile Creek. The first road
entered Greene County across the Monongahela River near Fredericktown; the
crossing was located by the Westmoreland County Court (during its jurisdic-
tion) as the road from Redstone Old Fort ten miles from the mouth of
Tenmile Creek. In 1750 the Delaware Indians helped Michael Cresap clear the
road for his pack animals and it became known as the Creasap Road. The
Hughes, Neils, Hillers and Swans with others from Virginia came by way of
the Hupp's, by the rudely cut road and camped near the log house.
Mrs. Margaret (Thomas) Hupp was the first white woman known to have lived west
of the Monongahela. The Hupps bought a large acreage of the Indians who after the Rofoelty
Massacre, came to the Hupp home, got something to eat, and were friendly.
Margaret Hupp's frugal repast consisted of johnny of journey cake shortened with
bear fat, dried venison, and Adam's ale from the hillside spring, still running clear in
1970. The Hupp cabin became the Sunday morning rendezvous for all the men in the settlement
who were tired of their own bad cooking. They brought their game to Margaret to prepare. For
many years, this cabin was the most useful in the settlement of the western wilderness
and was a rallying point in times of danger.
There are few pen portraits of early southwestern Pennsylvania settlers. One can conjure
a picture from entries in the tavern ledger of the early Hotel Milford in Waynesburgh
showing that Hupp, Bumgarner, and Teegarden men gathered in the tavern room on their trips
to the county seat 1813-15 to exchange gossip and drink "cherry royal," apple brandy, and
the famous river rye whiskey.
Washington county attorney and historian, Boyd Crumrine, who died at age seventy-eight
in 1916, wrote in 1908 of early days Monongahela Valley:
Do you not remember old George Hupp, son of Everhard who with George
Bumgarner and Abraham Tegarden settled at the mouth of Ten Mile Creek 1767
-69 upon land, a part of which is now occupied by the Town of Millsboro?
You were a very little boy when this George Hupp, then 75 or 80 years old,
an old man, but strong and sprightly would come to your father's house
(built 1805 in West Bethlehem Township) in the dead of winter, in a
coonskin cap, fringed hunting shirt, deerskin trousers and moccasins, his
old-time tomahawk and long knife stuck in his belt, his powder-horn and
bullet-pouch hanging at his side, and his long-barreled flint-lock rifle
thrown over his shoulder.
Your father liked the generous old man with the loud voice, and the best
in the house was put before him, especially the big, round-bellied black
bottle from the corner cupboard [probably made by William McCully whose
glass house in Columbia down the river turned out green glassware, black
bottles and window glass]. You trembled as you listened with strained
attention to the tales told by the old man of his stalking Indians as well
as the panther and bear, when ranging with his father.
You will never forger that old rifle, tomahawk and scalping knife which did
service in the days of blood.
John C. Hupp of Fairmont, West Virginia, historian of the Hupp family, told the writer
in a recent interview:
William Penn asked the first settlers to pay the Indians for the land they
took up. Hupp would not pay but instead gave a rifle and other items to the
Indians who were always on good terms with him. The land has remained in
the Hupp name to this day. At the death of Miss Sarah Hupp of Henery,
Illinois, (b.1882) it passed to her niece, Letha Fern Hupp.
Russell Bane of Fredericktown took me to the site of the old cabin a number
of years ago. If living, he would be about ninety and in his youth must
have known old people who knew the landmarks. The place was on top of the
hill where you can see the mouth of Tenmile, and not below near the Hupp
Graveyard as some have said.
Letters to Miss Letha Hupp brought the following response:
I did find the enclosed very faded photograph which I am sure was the large
house which used to be located upon the point of Sandy Plains. The old
Gentleman sitting on the porch was my grandfather. The Library of Congress
has a volume which tells of the bravery and heroism of Ann, wife of John
Hupp who helped protect the women and children at Miller's Blockhouse,
Washington County in 1783. I am the last descendant of my Grandfather Hupp.
The postcard photograph from which the sketch was made was mailed from Beallsville,
Pennsylvania, August 13, 1909, and was addressed to Miss Sadie Hupp at Henry, Illinois:
Grandpap's birthday is August 28. We are going to have a post card shower
for him. You people all send him cards...Cousin Ethel
This is the only known photograph of the old log house which served as a temporary home
to so many but was never licensed or called a "tavern"-only a stopping place.
A few people still living in the Clarksville area recall the cabin as an ancient and
scary place and an object of great interest locally. Clarence Nyswaner remembered
stooping to enter when he was a boy, and Theo Johnson who lives at Sandy Plains on the way
to the site, recalled stooping to pass through the low doorways in the days when his mother
was postmaster at Sandy Plains, when known as Racine. He identified the photograph
and could remember when the house was dismantled for when he and his wife were married in
1920 they came to live in their present home next to the Hupp land and the cabin was still
standing at that time and occupied by members of the family.
Now that the brush and timber have been cleared from the ridge top it is clear why the
first cabin in the wilderness west of the Monongahela was located there, for the outlook to
the southwest carried over the bends of Tenmile Creek below to the wider Monongahela and
across the ridges to the faint and larger blue of Laurel Hill.

The Scherich Family
The first information we have of Our Branch of the Scherich Family was during the War of
the Revolution. Three brothers living in Lancaster County, Pa., one, Christian by name, was
married and had a family, the other two, whose given names, if ever known by the writer, has
slipped from our memory, were bachelors and at that time called tories, their sympathies being
with the Mother Country, but they were honorable men, as most of the men of the Scherich
Family have been, and left the country and went to Canada rather than live in a country the
principles, of which they were not in full accord.
Our country today would be in much better condition if there had been many more men
in it as conscientious as these old bachelor relatives of ours.
We have no definite knowledge of the date that our ancestors first settled in this
country, nor from what country the Scherichs came, but we learn from history that the state
of New Jersey was settled by the Dutch and Swedes. The Dutch just across the Hudson river
from the city of New York and the Swedes in the western part along the Delaware river.
In the year 1655 the Swedes gave full control of the province to the Dutch, then nine
years later in 1664 the English got control and sent many of the swedes back to their native
country, but many of them crossed the Delaware river and took refuge among the quakers in and
around Lancaster, Pa.
Father always claimed that he was a Scandinavian and if he was right he was either a Swede
or a Norwegian and we can not find any account of Norwegians settling in that part of the
United States. Therefore we come to the conclusion that the Scherichs came from Sweden.
Grandfather Christian Scherich married Mary Martin [96] a full blooded Hollander. They
had a family of twelve children, nine sons: Christian, Jacob, David, Michael, Levi, Abraham,
Joseph, Samuel, and Henry and three daughters: Mary, Fanny and Anna.
FAMILY OF CHRISTIAN SCHERICH, I.
CHRISTIAN SCHERICH, II was married, located on a farm near Lisbon, Dauphin County,
Pa., and had three children, a son, John and two daughters: Barbara and Fanny.
MARY SCHERICH married Moses Van Scyoc, located on a farm at Pleasant Grove, Washington
County, Pa., and lived there all the rest of her life, dying in her eightieth year and buried
in the Quaker grave yard one mile from her home. She was the mother of eight children, four
sons: Joseph, Abraham, Moses and Aaron and four daughters: Anna, Fanny, Lydia and Mary.
JACOB SCHERICH located in Darke County, Ohio and lived to be eighty years or more old. He
was twice married and had three sons: John, George and Levi by his first wife and one son
William by his second wife. He had one daughter that I know of and probably more, but by
which wife and her name I am unable to state.
DAVID SCHERICH a Dunker Preacher, was married, located somewhere on the east side of
the Alleghany mountains and has six sons: John, Levi, David, Michael, Samuel and Henry.
FANNY, MICHAEL, ANNA and LEVI SCHERICH all died previous to being married.
ABRAHAM SCHERICH married Joanna VanScyoc, located near Pleasant Grove, Washington County,
Pa., and worked at his trade, a brick mason, until his death in 1842. He had seven children,
three sons: Enoch, Abraham and Christian and four daughters: Barbara, Rachel, Nancy and Lydia.
JOSEPH SCHERICH was married, located somewhere in northern Ohio, but we know nothing of
the location nor his family.
SAMUEL SCHERICH was a Winebrenarian preacher and located in Allen County, Ohio,
where he was quite successful in his work and had quite a large family. After coming here to
Enid, Okla., we had a neighbor woman, whose early life was spent in Delphos, Ohio, and often
spoke of hearing Uncle Sam preach many times. Mr. Morton, who lives in Enid now lived in Allen
County, Ohio for 18 years and said that there is a community in Allen County almost entirely
taken up by Scherichs, descendants of the old Preacher Samuel.
HENRY SCHERICH was married four times, he first married Rachel VanScyoc, who was the
mother of six children, three sons: Joseph, Enoch Van and Henry Ritter and three daughters:
Mary Ann, Lydia and Hannah. After his first wife's death in 1841, he married Esther Beam,
who became the mother of two children a son, Isaac Wolf and a daughter, Rachel.
After his second wifes death in 1858 he married Mrs. Pleasant Fox Lewis, who died in
1872, after which he married Mrs. Catherine Cunningham. He died in 1879 in his 76th year.
He first located on a small tract of land in the Elliot neighborhood, two or three miles
southwest of Pleasant Grove, Washington County, Pa., and made his living mostly by working at
his trade of brick mason. He with his brother Abraham having worked on many of the older brick
houses in the vicinities of Taylorstown, Buffalo Village and West Middletown in Washington
County, Pa., and Bethany, W. Va., where they worked on a house for Thomas Campbell, the
father of Alexander Campbell, the founder of the Religious Denomination called in some localities
the Christian Church and in others the Disciples in Christ and so on.
Tiring of being away from his family so much of the time, he sold his little farm and
bought more land near East Finley P.O., but several years before the P.O. was established
there. That farm is still known as the Scherich farm although it has not been in the Scherich name
for more than seventy years. In 1855, he sold that farm and moved onto a farm in Richhill
Township, Greene County, Pa., on the state line part of the farm being in the state of W. Va.
This farm has been in the Scherich name ever since. At his death his son, Ritter took it and
at Ritter's death his son, Eugene, took it and is living on it now.

I will give a short sketch of the VanScyoc family, furnished mostly by Moses VanScyoc of

They were devout Quakers and in connection with the England family and probably others
established a Quaker Church and erected a small log building, as a place of worship, on
one end of the lot where the Quaker Grave Yard is, but the Church house is gone and its
location as well as the grave yard is all grown up with weeds, briers and bushes, some of
the latter being quite large.

Anna, Mary, Rebecca Lydia, Joanna and Rachel.

Salem 6th. Mo 22nd. 1870.
Mary Ann Lindley
Dear Cousin
I now will endeavor to answer thy long neglected letter of 12th mo. 14th last
which came to hand in due time and was read with pleasure but having many cares and letters to
write: I neglected thy precious epistle. The spoke of not having very good health I hope
this will find thee and thine enjoying that great blessing health without which there is but
little enjoyment in this world or this worlds goods; but above all we should strive to be
prepared to enjoy the treasures in Heaven when time with is here no more; yea if we live as
we should do that is prepared to be taken at any time, we will feel a portion of that Heavenly
enjoyment while here on earth; which far exceeds earth's fading treasures We are middling well
my health has been poor this spring but I was still favored so as to keep up Israel has kept
up this spring and summer that usual he had some heavy colds some time back it worked off in
the natural way for cold to do which was a great favor to him as he could keep up petter than
if it had went to his stomac causing the dyspepsia with all its miseries.
Our daughter Anna's husband Marshall B. Hoops departed this life the 30th. of 12th
Mo last of Consumption they had been married 8 months and 1 day she felt his loss heavily
but still she has cause to believe he is better off that many that are left. She came home to
live is working in a milliner shop this spring and summer and helps to clerk her health is not
very good but she keeps on the go most of the time. I feared in the spring that she would have
trouble with her lungs as colds seemed to cause hoarseness and cough but she seems well in
that way now.
Benjamin's wife has poor health but is some better that she was in the spring, the Dr.
said her liver was morbid their little boy is not very well I think he gets his poor health
from her and is getting teeth has got two the Dr. advised her to wean him in the spring but he
eats so poorly that she could not do it he eats better now but it has got to be hot weather
now so she don't like to undertake it Our daughter Mary was well the last we heard from her.
we got a letter from her last week.
I got a letter from Lydia Prall under date of feb 20 she said they were all reasonably
well but Cornelius he had been very sick with pleurisy in his left side but was getting better
I am obliged to thee for the information thee gave me concerning their Son Enoch but I don't
intend saying anything to her about it as I expect she feels badly enough about it I have not
heard from Anna newburn since just before David started to Iowa I received a letter from Aunt
Ruth Vanscyoc under date 4th. mo 11th. they were well as common Lydia had started to Mt.
Pleasant to school: What a change there is in Aunts family just two now her self and Emlon.
The fore part of this month we had an unusual amount of thunder and lightning and some
heavy rains but some times sharp lightning and not very much rain; one house near the railroad
was struck it ran down the corner post set a sack on fire that stood in the corner of the
room shocked the woman of the house so that she had no use of one arm for a while and it
affected her speech the house is a few rods from our house and many other buildings through
the country down near Hanover a young man and a pair of horses were struck and killed instantly
and another circumstance of a woman that was struck as she was returning from a cemetery she had
been out looking at There were men along through here at the time of so much thunder putting
up lightning rods and it made a great harvest for them as so many had got so scared that they
had rods put right up. They charged 45 cts per foot when they inshured 40 when no inshured they
inshured for 5 years against lightning for the building and contents vegetation looks fine wheat
in many fields was affected by freezing but that was not much hurt looks fine corn is backward
but has a good color oats and grass look well the price of wheat is down a little it is
from 90 cts to $1.15 corn and oats I dont know the price but potatoes if 40 cts from first
hands butter 18 cts eggs 18cts cheese 18 per lb. wool from 40 to 42 or 3 Well I probably spoken
of all that would interest thee please write before long and give a fair detail of relations
in general as far as thee knows I like to hear from relations if I dont correspond with
them I would like to hear from thy father So far well and we remain as ever your friends.
Israel and Lydia Barber
