Champlin, submitted by Jan Fleming Painted Hill Genealogical Society website p. 4 5. Eli REES (Isaac, Thomas, Isaac, Thomas) was born on 1-07-1783. He died on 5-19-1848. He was buried in Reesville Cemetery. Eli is the original Rees settler in Potter County. An interesting website is http://home.earthlink.net/~navetsusa/reessearch/05dffd.html None of Eli's children were born in Potter County. Eli, Elizabeth and family left East Goshen township in Chester County, PA around 1820. After a short stay in Ohio, Eli's father died in Goshen (1823). Eli and family returned to Goshen. From the History of Potter County by M. A. Leeson, Pubbed by J. H. Beers in 1890: "In 1838 Eli Rees and John Glaspy moved from Philadelphia into the forest, what is now the township of Sylvania, near the forks of the First fork of the Sinnemahoning, at the place now known as Rees Settlement. They came into the country by the way of Jersey Shore, and, as there were no roads after leaving the turnpike, they were obliged to chop their way through the woods. Their nearest neighbor, John Nelson, lived five miles south, and in the other direction George Ayers, on Ayers' Hill, was their nearest neighbor, nine miles distant. The children of Eli Rees were: Sons - Eli, Jr., - Columbus, - James, - Isaac, - Thomas and - Miller; daughters - Mary Ann (Mrs. John Glaspy), and - Hannah (Mrs. Corry). The children of John Glaspy were - James, - Edward, - Miller, - Eli, - Elizabeth (Mrs. Wheeler), - Mary (Mrs. Logue). Eli Rees, Jr., while county treasurer, was accidentally shot and killed by D. D. Reed, in 1859. Eli Rees, Sr., came here as an agent for the Webb lands, receiving for himself 400 acres. He laid out a village plot where the tannery town of Costello now stands. Every man who bought a farm received the deed of a village lot. Farms were sold and the land brought under cultivation, but the village refused to grow until many years after, when manufacturing interests gave it a push. Within two or three years after the arrival of Rees and Glaspy, Chester Prouty came into the country. The first blacksmith was Isaac Rees. He is still living at the advanced age of seventy-seven years." It is likely that both the Rees' and the Gillespies were Quakers: Eli was land agent for the Webb Quaker colony. Also, Haverford Township in Chester County was founded by a group of Welsh Quakers, who bought land from William Penn. The American immigrant ancester of the Rees family, Thomas Rees, moved into the colony from Wales in 1687. This family history and the Reesville Cemetery use the spelling GILLESPIE. The GLASBYs buried in Reesville Cemetery are also from this family. Today there is no settlement at Reesville, merely a beautiful, peaceful valley marked by the Reesville Cemetery. Eli married Elizabeth MCCULLAH on 7-04-1806. Elizabeth was born on 6-01-1786. She died on 4-09-1860. She was buried in Reesville Cemetery, Sylvania Twp, Potter Co. PA.
