Notes

Hintzen, p. 81: "In 1770,... John moved his family to the Monongahela country, probably somewhere in the vicinity of Dunkard Creek, a (West) Virginia tributary of the Monongahela which enters that river just inside the Pennsylvania line. It was there that his seventh and last child, the fifth of the Wetzel boys, John, Jr., was born in October 1770."

John Wetzel
SOURCE: History of the Early Settlement & Indian Wars of WV by Wills De Hass.

In the Spring of this year, the Indians early reappeared in the neighborhood of Wheeling. One of their first acts on Wheeling creek, was the captivity of two boys, John WETZEL Jr., & Frederick ERLEWYNE, the former about 16 years old of age & the latter a year or two younger. The boys had gone from the fort at Shepherd's, for the purpose of catching horses. One of the stray animals was a mare, with a young colt, belonging to WETZEL's sister, & she had offered the foal to John, says the account which we follow, as a reward for finding the mare. While on this service, they were captured by a party of 4 Indians, who, having coming across the horses, had seized & secured them in a thicket, expecting the bells would attract the notice of their owners, as they would kill them. The horse was ever a favorite object of plunder with the savages; as not only facilitating his own escape from pursuit, but also assisting him carrying off the spoil. The boys hearing the well known tinkle of bells, approached the spot where the Indians layed concealed, congratulating themselves in their good luck so readily finding the strays, when they were immediately seized by the savages. John, in attempting to escape, was shot through the wrist. His companion hesitating to go with the Indians & beginning to cry, they dispatched him with the tomahawk. John, who had once before taken prisoner & escaped, made light of it, & went along cheerfully with his wounded arm.

--- AN OLD BURIAL GROUND.
On the farm of Thomas McFarland, near the river's edge, is an olden time burial place, and, is probably, the oldest in Marshall county. This is the resting place of John Wetzel, father of the famous Lewis Wetzel. Above his remains, was placed a plain stone, simply bearing the initial inscription, "J. W. 1775." This still is seen, although nearly hid in the ground.
Baker's station or fort, stood on this spot. There are a number of other graves here, barely noticeable by a slight elevation of the ground, or an occasional indentation....

From the first settlers in Sand hill, in 1769, until the ratification of the treaty of "Greenville," sometimes called "Wayne's treaty." In 1795, the attitude of the Indian tribes toward the settlers was that of extreme, unrelenting hostility. The military organization which had marched against them before the establishment of civil government in the great northwest, had signally failed to subjugate them, or secure a permanent cessation of hostilities. The disastrous expedition of General Braddock in 1755, of Major Wilkins in 1763, of Colonel Bradstreet in 1764, of Colonel Lochry in 1781, and of Colonel Crawford in 1782, and the massacre of the Moravian Indians on the Tuscarawas, in the last named year, only tended to inflame the hostile Indian tribes, and inspire them with greater courage in their hostile movements against the white settlers. The fruitless, if not, abortive, campaigns of Colonel McDonald in 1774, of General McIntosh in 1778, and of General Broadhead in 1781, of course, led to no salutary results. Even the successful campaigns of Colonel Boquet in 1763-4, of Lord Dunmore and General Lewis in 1774, of General George Rodgers Clark in 1778, failed to secure a permanent peace with the western Indian tribes. The inhabitants of what was then "West Augusta District," were therefore, from 1769, when the first immigrants arrived at the mouth of Wheeling creek, until the treaty of Greenville was concluded in August, 1795, constantly liable to the stealthy but deadly attacks of the savage tribes of the northwest. But they met their relentless foes in the spirit of genuine manhood---of true, determined, unflinching heroism. They were men worthy of the heroic age of the west. Bravely did they bear themselves during these many years of toil and privations, of dread and apprehension, of suffering and sorrow, of blood and carnage.
Among these may be mentioned, John Wetzel and family, who came to this district in 1769, from Pennsylvania, and made a small clearing and built a cabin on Big Wheeling creek, just opposite to where Alexander Caldwell now lives. Wetzel's was a tomahawk right, but by actual settlement, his letters of patent right was granted in 1785, to the land now owned by E. and D. Lutes, Alexander Caldwell, Hiram McCombs and others. The entire history of the Wetzel family may be found in another portion of this work. The Earlywines and Siverts came about the same time, making their settlement on the ridge near Sand Hill post office. Fredrick J. Earlywine, son of Jacob Earlywine, was captured by the Indians, in company with John Wetzel while out hunting their horses, the Indians secreting themselves in the bushes and rattling the bell that they had taken from the horses to decoy the boys. Fredrick being of an obstinate disposition, was determined not to accompany them as a captive, and in spite of the entreaties of his companion to go quietly along and try to escape afterwards, resisted all efforts made to take him, and was consequently left behind in charge of one Indian, who killed him and left the body lying in the woods. It was not until John Wetzel had made his escape from the savages that the sad fate of young Earlywine became known to his friends. His body was found and buried on the spot where he was killed.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvwags/chap5.txt
History of the Upper Ohio Valley, Vol. 1, 1890, in Chapter V:
It was in the spring of this year that two boys went out one morning
for the purpose of catching horses which were needed at the fort
(Shepherd's). One of these boys was John Wetzel, aged about sixteen
or seventeen years, the son of John Wetzel, Sr., whose clearing was
in Marshall county, and a brother of the celebrated Lewis Wetzel. The
other was a lad slightly younger than John Wetzel, his companion. One
of the animals they were instructed to catch and bring in, belonged
to a sister of young Wetzel, and was a mare with a young foal. This
foal she had given to her brother sometime prior to this. While
engaged in the search for the horses they ran into the midst of a
party of Indians who had captured the horses, and placed them in a
thicket, expecting that the sound of their bells would attract the
attention of their owners, whom they could then easily capture and
take their scalps.

The boys were attracted by the tinkle of the bells to the place where
the Indians lay concealed, rejoicing that they had experienced so
little difficulty in finding the horses, when they were at once
seized by the rascals. John, however, made some resistance and had
succeeded in breaking away from his captor and was making his escape
when he was shot through the arm by one of the savages and re-taken.

They directed their course toward the Ohio river. The companion of
John indulged in such grievous crying and was so loud in his
lamentations and groanings that the Indians tomahawked him and left
his body where it had fallen. This was not the first time John had
been taken a prisoner by the savages. Once before he had been
captured, but succeeded in making his escape. Notwithstanding he
suffered severe pain from his wounded arm, he kept up his spirits,
and wore an air of cheerfulness and satisfaction, which was
apparently approved of by his captors. About noon of the same day
they reached the river at a point near the mouth of Grave creek, and
but a short distance from the cabin of Mr. Tomlinson, which, at the
time, was deserted on account of the unsettled and threatening
condition of affairs along the border, he, with his family, having
removed to Wheeling for the time being. Here finding some of
Tomlinson's hogs straying about, they killed one of them, putting it
into a canoe which they had secreted after crossing the river on
the occasion of their raid into Virginia. Three of the Indians,
together with their prisoner, got into the canoe, while the other
Indians engaged in swimming the stolen horses over the river. That
day three individuals, viz.: Isaac Williams, Hamilton Carr and a
German by the name of Jacob, were looking after the stock left at the
deserted settlement,
having come down from Wheeling on that business.

While at the mouth of Little Grave creek, about a mile distant, they
heard the report of a rifle. Williams exclaimed on the instant, "Dod
rot 'em, a Kaintuck boat has landed down there at the creek and the
crew are shooting my hogs." Quickening their steps, they hurried
along and in a few minutes reached the vicinity of the creek, when
they heard the whinnying of a horse. Carr, who was a much younger and
more active man than Williams, was some distance in advance, and
reached the bank first, and looking down the creek he saw three
Indians in a canoe, one in the stern, one in the middle and one in
the bow of the vessel. On the bottom of the canoe were four rifles
and a dead hog. A fourth Indian was swimming a horse across the river
not very far from the shore. The Indian in the stern of the canoe had
just put his paddle into the water to shove the canoe from the creek
into the river. As he made this movement Carr drew his rifle to his
shoulder and shot the Indian in the stern, who fell overboard into
the water. Just as Carr fired, Williams had reached his side, and
shot the Indian in the bow of the canoe, who also fell overboard
plunging headlong into the water. Jacob, the German, then came up,
and handing his empty rifle to Jacob, took the German's and shot the
third Indian in the middle of the canoe. He also fell overboard, but
grasped the side of the canoe as he arose with one of his hands. So
astonished was this last Indian at the fate of his two companions,
that in his dazed condition, he never moved to take up one of the
rifles which lay in the bottom of the canoe, in his defense. The
canoe was now caught by the current and carried out into the river,
and had floated some distance below the mouth of the creek. Carr
having observed another person lying in the bottom of the canoe,
loaded his gun, raised it and was about to fire, when the recumbent
individual arose and cried out, "Don't shoot, I'm a white man." He
was told to loosen the hold of the Indian's hand to the side of the
canoe. He replied that he could not as his arm was broken. The
current bore the canoe near to some rocks, not far from the shore, on
which he jumped, and from which he waded to land. Carr now took a
shot at the Indian on horseback, who by this time, was more than a
third of the way across the river. The shot struck near his person,
splashing the water over him. Seeing the fate of his companions, and
recognizing the fact that his life was at stake, he slipped from the
back of, the horse and bravely swam toward the abandoned canoe in
which were the four rifles. The white men were on the upper side of
the creek now and the canoe was below the creek. To cross the creek
the white men would have to go some distance up to find a fording
place, which would consume time and this was in his favor. He
therefore succeeded in gaining possession of the canoe, crossed to
the opposite side of the river, mounted the horse which had gained
the opposite shore, and with a wild whoop and a yell of defiant
anger, made his escape into the forest. The canoe was turned adrift
by him and was not taken up, until it had floated 200 miles below the
scene where this affair occurred. When found, the dead hog was still
in it, the shooting of which had led to their discovery, and was the
cause of the misfortunes which attended them.

Record for John Wetzel
Biography of Margaret Wetzel Deets
1831-1919 , Whiteside County, Illinois, USA

Copied below is the text of a biography of Margaret Wetzel Deets, the wife of Louis Deets and mother of Charles Tilden Deets. This is from the Whiteside County Biographical Record.

"Nearly forty-five years have rolled away since Mrs. Margaret Deets came to Whiteside County, Illinois and now, after many years of such hardships and privations as only the pioneers know, she is passing the evening time of her life surrounded by the comforts and privileges which were beyond her reach in her young womanhood.
She comes of the sturdy old patriotic stock which laid the foundations of this great republic, "building better than they knew". Her paternal great-grandfather, who owned two large flour mills in Pennsylvania, taxed his mills to their utmost capacity, grinding grain to be made into bread for the army of Washington. On one occasion, when his son, the grandfather of Mrs. Deets, then a youth of seventeen, was engaged in driving a large team of horses, hauling supplies for the army, a squad of British soldiers attacked him, and though he managed to escape, seven bullet holes were found in the wagon bed. The mother of the young patriot did all within her power for the cause of the colonists, and it was not until blindness afflicted her that she ceased to bake bread for the army. The parents of Mrs. Deets were John and Margaret (Reese) Wetzel, natives of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, respectively. They removed to Summit County, Ohio, later to Stark County, same state, and at length came to Whiteside County.
Mrs. Deets is one of thirteen chirldren, she being next to the youngest: Catherine, born August 4, 1813, married Henry Wymer, and both are deceased. They had two children, both of whom have passed away. Polly died in infancy. Daniel, born September 2, 1815, and now a resident of Rock Falls, Illinois, married Mary Beidler, September 15, 1839 and they have six children. Jacob, born December 12, 1816, wedded Susan Beidler in 1842 and with their six children live in Genesee township. John, a resident of Michigan, was born May 29, 1818 and chose Camilla Ward for his wife. They are the parents of four sons. George, born January 18, 1820, married Mary Linerode, February 17, 1849 and two daughters were born to them. The wife and mother died September 18, 1854 and Mr. Wetzel makes his home with his niece, Mrs. Scott, in Rock Falls Illinois. His daughters are married and have children. Elizabeth, born August 17, 1821 became the wife of Cyrus Harting. She departed this life many years ago, and left several children. David R., born April 7, 1823, never married and died September 15, 1894. Andrew, born March 18, 1825, married Sarah Ward and had four children. He has passed to his reward, while his widow resides in Stark county, Ohio. Joseph, born December 9, 1827, married Ellen McKien. Seven children were born to them and Mr. Wetzel now resides with his son Thomas. Hannah, born June 5, 1829, became the wife of Lewis Spots, and of their several children, five survive, the others dying in infancy. Their home is in Lee county, Missouri. Lewis, born June 3, 1837, wedded Mary Lawyer, March 25, 1858 and they had four children. The parents are citizens of Galt, Whiteside county, having retired from their life-work, farming.
The birth of Mrs. Margaret (Wetzel) Deets took place on the 7th of December, 1831 in Summit County Ohio. She was a babe of two months when her parents removed to Stark county, same state. In 1855 she came to Whiteside county and the following year became the wife of Louis Deets, who was a thrifty farmer of Hopkins township. The young couple were economical and rapidly made progress toward a competence, but, when the war of the Rebellion came on, the patriotic husband left his plow and went to the defense of the Union, his brave wife bidding him God-speed. In 1861 he enlisted in the Fifty-fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and served for three years. Later he resumed his regular calling, and continued to devote himself to his home and business until his death July 14, 1882. Since that time, his widow has carried on the old homestead near Emerson, and has enjoyed the same measure of success as did her esteemed husband in days of yore.
Twelve children came to bless their humble home. The eldest, William Wilson, born December 20, 1857, married Anne Engle, August 31, 1881 and is a resident of this township. Their two sons, aged fourteen and sixteen, are at home. Elizabeth, born November 2, 1859, became the wife of Henry Johnson, and is the mother of four children. Mr. Johnson, who owns a fine ranch of over one thousand acres, situated in the state of Washington, is an extensive dealer in lumber and grain, also. James M., born April 7, 1865, married Olive Carolus, and has four children. Their home is at Emerson, where Mr. Deets is engaged in the trade of a wagon-maker, and in addition to this, owns and operates a large farm in this township. Charles T., born February 6, 1874, married Iona Carolus, November 8, 1896, and they have one child living, another having died in infancy. He is a successful lawyer, of Almira, Washington. Four sons and two daughters died in infancy; Caroline, born in 1860, died in February 1874, and Jennie, born June 6, 1867, died in 1877.
In his political faith, Mr. Deets was an ardent Republican. He was industrious and enterprising, and, besides providing liberally for his large family, he left a comfortable estate and, what is better, and unblemished named and record to his posterity. Religiously, he was identified with the United Brethren church."

Regimental History ILLINOIS
FIFTY-FIFTH INFANTRY (Three Years)
Fifty-fifth Infantry. -
Cols., David Stuart, Oscar Malmborg;
Lieut.-Cols., Oscar Malmborg, Theodore C. Chandler, Charles A. Andress; Majs., William D. Sanger, Theodore C. Chandler, James J. Hefferman, Giles F. Hand.
This regiment was organized at Camp Douglas, Chicago, and was mustered into service Oct. 31, 1861. It was one of the two regiments raised by David Stuart under act of Congress, and called the "Douglas Brigade," though the two regiments never served together. The 55th Ill. was principally made up from bodies of recruits raised in Fulton, McDonough, LaSalle, Grundy, DeKalb, Kane and Winnebago counties, and its members were largely young men reared upon farms. The regiment left Camp Douglas Nov. 9, 1861, over the Chicago & Alton railroad for Alton, thence by steamboat for St. Louis, and arrived at Benton barracks Nov. 11. It received its baptism of fire at Shiloh, where upon the first day of the battle, with one other regiment, it held an important position for over 2 hours, and after being nearly surrounded and suffering terribly it retreated from point to point and took its position with its organization still complete in the last line formed in the evening near the landing. It participated in the second day's battle, acting on the right, and suffered some loss.
During this terrible conflict, the first in its history, the 55th lost the heaviest of any Federal regiment in that engagement except the 9th Ill., its loss being 1 officer and 51 enlisted men killed, 9 officers and 19O men wounded, and 26 men captured. The regiment was engaged in the advance on Corinth and lost 1 killed and 8 wounded on May 17. In December it descended the Mississippi river, took part in the battle of Chickasaw bluffs, where it lost 2 killed and 4 wounded, and was also at the battle of Arkansas Post in January, losing 3 men wounded. In the spring of 1863 it proceeded with the army to the rear of Vicksburg and was under fire at Champion's hill, but suffered no loss. It participated in the early assaults on Vicksburg, and bore its full share during the siege, losing 14 killed and 32 wounded. It lost 1 man killed while scouting near the Big Black river, and after being present at the surrender of Vicksburg proceeded with Sherman's expedition to Jackson, where it lost 1 killed and 2 wounded. It made the laborious march to East Tennessee, during the night of Nov. 23 with the rest of its brigade it manned a fleet of pontoon boats in North Chickamauga creek; and in the intense darkness crossed the Tennessee and captured the enemy's pickets - one of the most daring operations of the war. At the battle of Missionary ridge the regiment lost 3 wounded. It encamped successively at Bridgeport, Bellefonte and Larkinsville, during the winter, and while at the latter place, after exacting the right to elect officers, the regiment veteranized, at which time the existing field officers all failed of election and at the end of their term quit the service. The veterans were granted a 30-days' furlough and at the opening of the Atlanta campaign the regiment took its place as usual in the 2nd division of the 15th corps. It shared in the manifold labors and dangers of that famous campaign, including the movement on and battle of Jonesboro, losing 36 killed and 86 wounded, which was about one-half of its number engaged. The heaviest loss was at the assault upon Kennesaw mountain, when 14 were killed and 33 wounded. It marched the entire distance on the picnic excursion, termed the march to the sea, thence north, and at the battle of Bentonville it lost 1 man killed, 1 wounded and 6 taken prisoners. After the surrender of Johnston the regiment marched via Richmond for Washington and took part in the grand review. It was then ordered to Louisville, where it remained in camp a few weeks, and then moved to Little Rock, Ark., where it was mustered out Aug. 14, 1865. During the entire period of its service it received less than 50 recruits, hence all its casualties were from its original members. It lost actually killed in battle 108 men, and its total wounded were 339, making an aggregate of 417 struck with the missiles of war. There are no data to state the exact number of mortally wounded though it is known that 35 died from such cause within one year after Shiloh.

Biographical Record of Whiteside County 1900, page 231.

HENRY WETZELL, who lives on section 35, Hume township, Whiteside County, Illinois, owns and operates a fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres, whose neat and thrifty appearance well indicates his careful supervision. Substantial improvements are surrounded by well tilled fields, and many of the accessories and conveniences of a model farm are there found.

Mr. Wetzell was born in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, November 11, 1843, a son of Jacob and Susanna (Beidler) WETZELL, also natives of the Buckeye state. The paternal grandparents, John and Margaret (Reese) WETZELL, were born, reared and married in Pennsylvania, and the latter lived to the advanced age of over ninety-six years. The father of our subject followed farming in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, until 1855, when he came to Whiteside County, Illinois, and bought one hundred and sixty acres in Genesee township, which he converted into a good farm. Subsequently he purchased more land and now resides on the second farm at the age of eighty-five yearsÂ-an honored and highly-respected old man.
The subject of this sketch was a lad of twelve years when he came with the family to this county, and he assisted in opening up and improving the home farm. When his services were not needed at home, he attended the common schools of the neighborhood, and the knowledge thereby acquired has been greatly supplemented by subsequent reading and observation. On the 11th of May, 1864, he enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Fortieth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, for one hundred daysÂ’ service, and was with the Army of the Tennessee. He participated in some skirmishes, but was mainly engaged in guarding railroads in Tennessee and Mississippi. For six weeks he lay ill in the field hospital, and was then honorably discharged in November, 1864.
Returning to his home, Mr. Wetzell was married in Genesee township, January 19, 1865, to Miss Catherine Overholser, a native of Holmes county, Ohio, and a daughter of Martin Overholser, who came to this county in 1853. Mr. and Mrs. Wetzell have a family of ten living children, namely:
James Frank, who is married and engaged in farming in Hume township;
Cerena, at home;
John L. and William, who own a farm and also rent land, so that they now operate two hundred and forty acres;
Christopher, a successful teacher, who died at the age of twenty-four years;
Jennie, wife of Frank Milligan, of Tampico township;
Rebecca, Lloyd, Oscar P., Lillian and Henry L., all at home; and
Lola V., who died at the age of seventeen months.

After his marriage Mr. Wetzell continued his residence in Genesee township until 1872, when be removed to his present farm on section 35, Hume township, though at that time he only owned eighty acres. He built a good residence, which he has since enlarged, and also erected a barn and other outbuildings, and later purchased an adjoining eighty-acre tract, so that he now has one hundred and sixty acres of well-improved land.
At national elections Mr. Wetzell has affiliated with the Republican party since casting his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1864, but in local politics he is independent, always supporting the men whom he believes best qualified to fill the offices regardless of party lines. He has been honored with a number of offices, having served as highway commissioner two or three years, assessor two years, and supervisor for nine consecutive years. While a member of the county board he served on a number of important committees, including those on equalization, claims and the poor farm. He has also been an efficient member of the school board twenty-one years and is now president of the district. Socially he belongs to the Grand Army post of Sterling and the Knights of the Globe, and religiously his wife is a member of the United Brethren church, and most of his children belong to the Methodist Episcopal church. He is widely and favorably known, and is one of the most popular and influential men of his community.

Jean Jacques Bonnet immigration

In 1733, the Jean Jacques Bonnett family started out from Friedrichstal, Germany, looking forward to a prosperous life. There was the father, Jean Jacques, who preferred to be called Jacob and was 31 years old, Marie Desreux Bonnett the mother, also 31 and the four children Margaret 8, Susanna 4, Christina 2, and the baby John Simon 9 months. [BonE1] There had been another child named John Isaac but he was no longer with them. His loss was part of the reason Marie was willing to leave her home. We cannot imagine what the trip was like for the family. However, when the ship Elizabeth arrived in Philadelphia on the 27th of August 1733 a saddened family of four disembarked. The two middle children, Susanna and Christina, had died en route.

Having no choice but to continue, they went on and settled in Paoli, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Five more children were born here -- Elizabeth, Mary, Lewis, Samuel and Susannah. Jacob Bonnett is listed for a survey of 400 acres in December of 1737. A land certificate for property in the Monocacy was issued and he received another one on the west bank of Hunting Creek below its fork. Marie died there and was followed by her husband in 1752. They are both buried in the Chester County Cemetery.

Their sons Samuel and Lewis then lead the family on to Virginia around 1753/54.

Lewis, Mary's brother

Lewis Bonnett was born in 1737 at Paoli, Pennsylvania, and came to Wheeling Creek in 1764 with his brother-in-law, John Wetzel and other pioneer settlers and started homesteading on Wheeling Creek near the site now occupied by Britt Run school. John Wetzel settled about 7 miles further up the creek on what is now known as the E. J. Wilson farm.

Lewis sold out his land on Big Wheeling Creek in 1773 or 1775 and moved to the Monongahela country. Some years later he moved back to the old homestead on Big Wheeling Creek in 1781 or 1782 and resided at the old home-place until his death in 1808. His mortal remains are buried on the farm he tilled and ploughed. His son, Lewis Bonnett, jr., was born March 13, 1778 in the Monongahela country. The senior Lewis Bonnett had three sisters, the oldest being Catharine who married John C. Sickes, the second, Mary married Captain John Wetzel and the third sister, Susannah, never married, but remained an old maid and died in Shenandoah county, Virginia.

French Émigrés

The Bonnetts were of French extraction, having emigrated to the American colonies from French Flanders. French thrift and belief in close family ties characterized the Bonnett relationship. When the elder Lewis was 18 years old he enlisted in the Virginia Rangers and was under George Washington at Braddock's defeat. When quite young, he married Elizabeth Waggoner, who was also of French descent.

The historic barn and house built by Lewis Bonnett on the land he secured by a tomahawk right from the King of England's representatives in 1770, are still standing and are occupied today by the Messrs. Britt. Captain Bonnett brought an old distiller from Germany and the underground tunnel leading from the distillery to the creek is one of the landmarks of the old place.

On the exterior of the old house now owned by the Britts, may be seen, intact, the old ladder used to mount to the second floor. When the Buchanan brothers built the old stone house they expected to do much entertaining so they selected that crest of land for the house site due to the beauty of the scene. In its day, the old stone house was considered one of grandeur and style.

Biographical Record of Whiteside County 1900, page 231.

HENRY WETZELL, who lives on section 35, Hume township, Whiteside County, Illinois, owns and operates a fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres, whose neat and thrifty appearance well indicates his careful supervision. Substantial improvements are surrounded by well tilled fields, and many of the accessories and conveniences of a model farm are there found.

Mr. Wetzell was born in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, November 11, 1843, a son of Jacob and Susanna (Beidler) WETZELL, also natives of the Buckeye state. The paternal grandparents, John and Margaret (Reese) WETZELL, were born, reared and married in Pennsylvania, and the latter lived to the advanced age of over ninety-six years. The father of our subject followed farming in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, until 1855, when he came to Whiteside County, Illinois, and bought one hundred and sixty acres in Genesee township, which he converted into a good farm. Subsequently he purchased more land and now resides on the second farm at the age of eighty-five yearsÂ-an honored and highly-respected old man.
The subject of this sketch was a lad of twelve years when he came with the family to this county, and he assisted in opening up and improving the home farm. When his services were not needed at home, he attended the common schools of the neighborhood, and the knowledge thereby acquired has been greatly supplemented by subsequent reading and observation. On the 11th of May, 1864, he enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Fortieth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, for one hundred daysÂ’ service, and was with the Army of the Tennessee. He participated in some skirmishes, but was mainly engaged in guarding railroads in Tennessee and Mississippi. For six weeks he lay ill in the field hospital, and was then honorably discharged in November, 1864.
Returning to his home, Mr. Wetzell was married in Genesee township, January 19, 1865, to Miss Catherine Overholser, a native of Holmes county, Ohio, and a daughter of Martin Overholser, who came to this county in 1853. Mr. and Mrs. Wetzell have a family of ten living children, namely:
James Frank, who is married and engaged in farming in Hume township;
Cerena, at home;
John L. and William, who own a farm and also rent land, so that they now operate two hundred and forty acres;
Christopher, a successful teacher, who died at the age of twenty-four years;
Jennie, wife of Frank Milligan, of Tampico township;
Rebecca, Lloyd, Oscar P., Lillian and Henry L., all at home; and
Lola V., who died at the age of seventeen months.

After his marriage Mr. Wetzell continued his residence in Genesee township until 1872, when be removed to his present farm on section 35, Hume township, though at that time he only owned eighty acres. He built a good residence, which he has since enlarged, and also erected a barn and other outbuildings, and later purchased an adjoining eighty-acre tract, so that he now has one hundred and sixty acres of well-improved land.
At national elections Mr. Wetzell has affiliated with the Republican party since casting his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln in 1864, but in local politics he is independent, always supporting the men whom he believes best qualified to fill the offices regardless of party lines. He has been honored with a number of offices, having served as highway commissioner two or three years, assessor two years, and supervisor for nine consecutive years. While a member of the county board he served on a number of important committees, including those on equalization, claims and the poor farm. He has also been an efficient member of the school board twenty-one years and is now president of the district. Socially he belongs to the Grand Army post of Sterling and the Knights of the Globe, and religiously his wife is a member of the United Brethren church, and most of his children belong to the Methodist Episcopal church. He is widely and favorably known, and is one of the most popular and influential men of his community.

"In the Spring of this year (1785), the Indians early re-appeared in the neighborhood of Wheeling. One of their first acts on Wheeling Creek, was the captivity of two boys, John Wetzel, Jr. and Frederick Erlewyne, the former about 16 yrs of age, and the latter a year or two younger. The boys had gone from the fort at Shepherd's, for the purpose of catching horses. One of the stray animals was a mare, with a young colt, belonging to Wetzel's sister, and she had offered the foal to John, says the account which we follow, as a reward for finding the mare. While on this service, they were captured by a party of 4 Indians, who, having come across the horses, had seized and secured them in a thicket, expecting the bells would attract the notice of their owners, as they could kill them. [The horse was ever a favorite object of plunder with the savages; as not only facilitating his own escape from pursuit, but also assisting him in carrying off the spoil.] The boys, hearing the well-known tinkle of the blls, approached the spot where the Indians lay concealed, congratulating themselves on their good luck in so readily finding the strays, when they were immediately seized by the savages. John, in attempting to escape, was shot throught he wrist. His compainion hesitating to go with the Indians, and beginning to cry, they dispatched him with the tomahawk. John, who had once before been taken prisoner and escaped, made light of it, and went along cheerfully with his wounded arm..." They were eventually freed by Isaac Williams, Hambleton Kerr, and Jacob, a Dutchman, who'd come from Wheeling that day to look after the cattle, etc., left at the deserted settlement, a hog of which had been stolen by the Indians...

John Wetzel died in his home, along with his wife and three children, when Indians invaded the home (1786) slaughtering them and taking their scalps. However, four survived. Lewis and Jacob were in the house but spared because the Indians found them smart and active and, therefore, useful and took them prisoners. Martin, who had been out hunting, and John, who had been on an errand, were captured later. All four eventually escaped.

Record for John Wetzel
Wetzells in Ohio: The Wetzels In Marshall County
From The History of Marshall County, West Virginia, 1984. Submitted by Phyllis Slater.

Captain John Wetzel, Sr. and Mary Bonnett Wetzel with their children, Martin, Christina, George, and Lewis left the South Branch of the Potomac in search of new opportunities. They settled along Big Wheeling Creek, which is now the Sand Hill District, in Marshall County. Later Fort Wetzel was built on this location.

The wagon train also included the ZANES, who established Wheeling, the BONNETTS, the EBERLYS and the ROSENCRANZE families who all settled in this area. History records show that all these men and sons were to become notable scouts and Indian fighters in the settlement of the Frontier.

Three more children were born to the Wetzel's after they settled in the Big Wheeling Creek area. They were; Jacob, Susannah, and John Jr.

Captain John Wetzel and his son Martin were in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. Martin was one of the soldiers who survived the Foreman Massacre near McMechen and was among the defenders of Fort Henry in 1777. Martin, his brother Lewis, and his dad Captain John Wetzel, were also among the defenders in the second attack on Fort Henry on September 11 - 13, 1782, against the British and the Indians, which is known as the last battle of the Revolutionary War. In 1782, Martin and Lewis were among the defenders of Fort Beeler against the Mohawk and Shawnee Indians.

Jacob became sheriff of Ohio County, Virginia in 1803 and in 1818, his family became the first settlers of Morgan County, Indiana.

Captain John Wetzel, Sr. was wounded by Indians near Captina in 1787 as he and a companion were paddling a canoe up the Ohio River returning from Middle Island Creek. He died soon after reaching the fort at Baker's Station, and he is buried there. His marker has been moved about two miles south to a road side park on W.Va State route 2.

Lewis was a folk hero to the white settlers as he was their protector from the Indians and was a deciding force in helping to settle this territory. He killed his first Indian at the age of 16 near St. Clairsville, Ohio. At the age of 17, he entered into his life's work of hunting Indians, being appointed a scout at an assembly in Wheeling by the settlers who needed protection for their homes and families. The only pay he received was the pleasure, if any, of hunting Indians and the satisfaction of serving his fellow man.

The skill he acquired in his youth of loading his muzzle loader at a full run and hitting his target, coupled with his cunning ways, was the deciding factor in his ability to kill every Indian he saw in revenge for the torture of his family members, including himself, and the killing of his father by the Indians.

The prize of Lewis Wetzel's scalp by the Indians was never achieved. While he was visiting a cousin in Natchez, Mississippi in 1808 he contacted a fever and died at the age of 44.

His remains were returned in 1942 to the McCreary Cemetery, located in Marshall County two miles from the Wetzel homestead, where his mother and brothers Martin and John Jr., are also buried. Compiled by Gerald T. Plants

Notes for Captain John WETZELCaptain John Wetzel, along with the Bonnets, the Zanes, the Ebberlys, and the Rosencranzes, moved, across the Alleghenies, to occupy some of the "free lands" that had become available, in 1786. Ultimately, the little group of families settled near present day Wheeling, West Virginia. The Wetzels carved a farmstead along Big Wheeling Creek, about 14 miles from the Ohio River.

John Wetzel received his title, "Captain," from service in the Revolutionary War. He was Captain of the Rangers, raised from Ohio and Monongahila Counties, the summer of 1778. His company was under the command of Colonel Daniel McFarland. His son, Martin Wetzel, Jr. was a private in this company.

Neither Capt. John Wetzel nor son, Private Martin Wetzel, Jr., received compensable injuries while in service.

Capt. John Wetzel's personal property estate was appraised Aug. 19, 1786, and was valued at about 120 Pounds, which was considerable for a frontiersman. His son, Jacob Wetzel, was administrator of his will.

More information on Captain John Wetzel is given in Wagoner's study, "John Wagoner, 1741-1842." Other notes on Captain John Wetzel and his family are found in "The Whetzel Family," compiled by Lewis H. Yankey, Criders, Virginia, 1991.

Lewis, son of Captain John

Lewis Wetzel, giant of the American frontier, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the fourth of seven children to Mary and John Wetzel. His father was a German immigrant, a former indentured slave who had risen above his station to win the hand of the daughter of the well established Bonnet family, who had already been living on American soil for several generations.

When Lewis was just one year old, his family packed up with some other hardy settlers and moved across the Allegheny mountains to take possession of land that was now up for grabs as a result of the Treaty of Fort Stanwix. They settled in an area of forest clearing along Big Wheeling Creek, not far from the Ohio River.

Unfortunately for them, the Wetzel’s and their neigbors were now direct targets from the Shawnee, Delaware and Miami Indians. The family became used to raids from these tribes. The boys grew up quick. They learned how to use a gun at an early age.

At the age of thirteen Lewis was captured by a raiding party of Wyandot Indians along with his brother George. During the assault young Lewis was grazed in the chest with a bullet. Despite the pain of this wound, which had torn into his sternum, Lewis knew that he had to keep up with the fast pace set by the Indians as the rushed back to their village. To slow them down meant certain death. On the third night of their capture, however, the Indians were lax in providing guards over the two boys. As their captors slept, the two boys made their escape. They took off without their shoes. Before long, though, they realised that they wouldn’t get far on bare feet. While his brother lay low, Lewis stole back to the camp and got the boy’s moccasins. But that wasn’t enough for feisty Lewis. He went back a third time and stole back his father’s rifle and powder horn from the Indians.

The boys now set out for home. The Indians soon set out in pursuit but the Wetzel boys eluded them. They crossed the Ohio River on a raft they had made. They finally dragged themselves back into their village clearing to the amazement of their family.

This event marked a new turn in Lewis’ life. He now spent his every waking moment in perfecting his skills as an Indian fighter. He became an expert shot and extremely adept with the tomahawk and hunting knife. He also perfected another skill that was rare indeed on the frontier - he was able to load, prime and shoot his long rifle while running at full speed through the forest.

At age fourteen, Lewis was part of a rescue party sent out to rescue a woman who had been taken by the Indians. Along with the woman’s husband, Lewis tracked down the Indians. They followed them across the Ohio River and found them at nightfall. Three Indians were sleeping while the fourth stood guard over the weeping woman. All night the two white men watched over the camp. Then just as the Indians were waking, they made their move. They shot the first two Indians to wake and then charged the others with their tomahawks. The Indians fled. As his companion comforted his wife, Lewis took off after the escaping two Indians. He shot down the first one. The other then turned to attack Lewis, knowing that his rifle was now spent. But Lewis put into practice his skill of reloading on the run and soon had killed his third Indian of the day.

Over the next few years, Lewis would have more run ins with Indian raiders and hostage takers. With each episode he would further enhance both his frontier skills and his reputation among his compatriots. By the time he was twenty Lewis was a full time Indian hunter. He was never to settle down and raise a farm or otherwise domesticate himself.

Lewis had grown into a large, formidable character. He seemed, however, uncomfortable in adult company. His speech was faltering and his manners ungainly. However, whenever shooting, knife throwing or tomahawking competitions were held, Lewis would always be the winner. He became a one man Indian hunting army. His favorite trick was to hunt down small bands of Indians and attack them while they were sleeping, wreaking havoc with his knife and tomahawk.

In 1781 Wetzel made the mistake of killing a Delaware Indian Chief who was acting as a peace emissary. The act was outrageous but Wetzel was not punished for it. From this point Wetzel began to act more and more irrationally. His hatred for Indians knew no bounds and people became less and less comfortable in his presence. In 1789 he murdered a Seneca Chief who had long worked to bring about peace with the whites. This time his crime was not ignored. A murder warrant was sworn out for him and Lewis Wetzel became a fugitive.

A militia guard soon captured Wetzel. But he promptly escaped, to be secreted amongst his people in the woods. However, he was captured a second time when he was recognized by a regular army group, wearing civilian clothing. He was locked up in Fort Washington in preparation of his trial. But soon 200 frontiersmen had gathered around the fort demanding his release. The territorial judge capitulated and Wetzel was free again.

As peace settled along the frontier Wetzel and his ilk found themselves out of step. He went west into Spanish territory. Little else is known of his life from that point. In 1808 he became ill with yellow fever. He soon died. He was just 44 years of age.

Record for Mary BONNETT
The Wetzels In Marshall County.
.
Captain John Wetzel, Sr. and Mary Bonnett Wetzel with their children, Martin, Christina, George, and Lewis left the South Branch of the Potomac in search of new opportunities. They settled along Big Wheeling Creek, which is now the Sand Hill District, in Marshall County. Later Fort Wetzel was built on this location..
.
The wagon train also included the ZANES, who established Wheeling, the BONNETTS, the EBERLYS and the ROSENCRANZE families who all settled in this area. History records show that all these men and sons were to become notable scouts and Indian fighters in the settlement of the Frontier..
.
Three more children were born to the Wetzel's after they settled in the Big Wheeling Creek area. They were; Jacob, Susannah, and John Jr..
.
Captain John Wetzel and his son Martin were in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. Martin was one of the soldiers who survived the Foreman Massacre near McMechen and was among the defenders of Fort Henry in 1777. Martin, his brother Lewis, and his dad Captain John Wetzel, were also among the defenders in the second attack on Fort Henry on September 11 - 13, 1782, against the British and the Indians, which is known as the last battle of the Revolutionary War. In 1782, Martin and Lewis were among the defenders of Fort Beeler against the Mohawk and Shawnee Indians..
.
Jacob became sheriff of Ohio County, Virginia in 1803 and in 1818, his family became the first settlers of Morgan County, Indiana..
.
Captain John Wetzel, Sr. was wounded by Indians near Captina in 1787 as he and a companion were paddling a canoe up the Ohio River returning from Middle Island Creek. He died soon after reaching the fort at Baker's Station, and he is buried there. His marker has been moved about two miles south to a road side park on W.Va State route 2..
.
Lewis was a folk hero to the white settlers as he was their protector from the Indians and was a deciding force in helping to settle this territory. He killed his first Indian at the age of 16 near St. Clairsville, Ohio. At the age of 17, he entered into his life's work of hunting Indians, being appointed a scout at an assembly in Wheeling by the settlers who needed protection for their homes and families. The only pay he received was the pleasure, if any, of hunting Indians and the satisfaction of serving his fellow man..
.
The skill he acquired in his youth of loading his muzzle loader at a full run and hitting his target, coupled with his cunning ways, was the deciding factor in his ability to kill every Indian he saw in revenge for the torture of his family members, including himself, and the killing of his father by the Indians..
.
The prize of Lewis Wetzel's scalp by the Indians was never achieved. While he was visiting a cousin in Natchez, Mississippi in 1808 he contacted a fever and died at the age of 44..
.
His remains were returned in 1942 to the McCreary Cemetery, located in Marshall County two miles from the Wetzel homestead, where his mother and brothers Martin and John Jr., are also buried. Compiled by Gerald T. Plants.
.
From The History of Marshall County, West Virginia, 1984..

The Bonnet-t-e's & Kin (David Daniel Louis Bonnett)

The Bonnet-t-e's & Kin, Vol. 18, pp. 1-7, 1994. With the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France in 1686, the persecution of protestants began, many of whom fled to neighboring countries.
Daniel Bonnet is given as father of Jacques and Jean Pierre Bonnett.

The Bonnet-t-e's & Kin, Vol. 18, pp. 1-7, 1994. Records of the Reformed Church at Friedrichstal, near Karlsruhe, Germany, list families for Jacques Bonnet and Jean Pierre Bonnet, both sons of Daniel.
Jackson County, West Virginia, Past and Present, 1990, pp. 127-128. David Daniel (Louis) Bonnette (born 1655) and wife Christi Causine lived in Thronque, France, between 1681 and 1686. Protestant, they fled from Piemont, Italy (now known as the area of Dauphine, Southern France), to avoid persecution. David was in Morlheim, Germany, in 1699, but subsequently settled in Friedrichstal Baden, Germany, where he raised his family. There were two sons, Jeanne Coliver Bonnette and Jean Jacques Bonnette.
