When I first started looking on the internet, I saw a posting on the ROOTS-L list for a cemetery in the Monongahela Valley that contained Hoisington graves. Before I could get in touch with the author of the posting, my hard disk crashed. I know it was in Washington County PA and that the listing was either from Pike Run or Ten Mile Baptist Church, but the USGenWeb site doesn't list any cemeteries by those names. Do any of you have any information on Hoisingtons in Washington County PA? Or for anyplace in PA for that matter?

I know that Joab and Barzava Hoisington were listed as Joab and Barzaby Hyselton on an early OH census, so there might be a connection. Harriette ================ Hello Mrs. Jensen, My name is Greg Kyte of Columbia, SC and some years ago I dug up a Civil War soldier's ID Tag. He was William W. HESSELTON (HESELTON) Company I, 2nd Regt. VT Vols. Hometown stated as Weston, VT. This bronze object is abt. the size of a 50 cent piece and the front has an eagle with the words "War of 1861 - United States of America". I have the soldier's service records. He was born c. 1844 Keene, NH, enlisted for service at age 17 on May 7, 1861 at Ludlow, VT and mustered into service June 20, 1861 at Burlington, VT. Discharged June 29, 1864. After the war William W. HESSELTON moved to Boston, MA and married Lucy Augusta WESTGATE of Wareham, MA. They had at least one child, William Jr. born c. 1875 who married Alice ____? William Jr. was living in South Braintree, MA in 1917. William Sr. died Jan. 4, 1908 at Boston, MA and was buried at the National Cemetery at Togus, Maine. I would like to find out via 1850-60 census who William Sr. parents and sibling were. Also am interested in locating nearest living relative and would like to know William Jr. children. There was a Moses P. HESSELTON who served in Co I, 2nd VT Regt. who after the war was living in Proctorsville, VT. I do not know if he is related to William Sr. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I am a serious genealogist and concentrate primarily in TN, VA, NC but my hobby of relic hunting with a metal detector has in this instance, combied the two loves of my life. Thank you, Greg Kyte ====================================================================================== From: Bonnie Dannenberg Subject: Re: HOISINGTON MAILING LIST - CHECK IN PLEASE Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 23:26:15 -0400 (EDT) I'm here....

Came across this biography of Lyman Copeland Draper, who Harry Hoisington uses as a source in his documentation and who is a Hoisington descendant. Draper willed all his papers to the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. This biography was part of an introduction to the book and it also contained a daguerrotype picture of Draper at 40. If any of you are interested, I'll send you a copy. Lyman is also in my database if you're interested in more genealogical information. Harriette ================================= From "Guide to the Draper Manuscripts" Lyman Copeland Draper, creator of the Draper Manuscripts, was born in Lockport, New York, on September 4, 1815. The eldest son of Luke Draper and his wife, Harriet Hoisington Draper, Lyman attended the village school, worked on the family farm, and clerked in several shops. A slight youth who attained a height of only five feet and one inch, he was ill-suited for rough sports and heavy physical labor. Instead he vicariously sought adventure in books, in tales of the American Revolution related by his grandfather, and in stories of British capitivty during the War of 1812 told by his father. Lyman's quest for learning attracted the attention of Peter Remsen, husband of Draper's cousin Lydia. With Remsen's financial support, Draper attended Granville College in Ohio from June, 1834, until November, 1836; but it soon became apparent that the young scholar was more interested in American history than in the prescribed classical curriculum. He began writing letters to seek reminiscences of Kentucky pioneers; he delivered college orations and wrote articles on American historical and archeological topics for the "Gem" of Rochester, New York. After leaving college, he spent several years earning his subsistence in varied occupations--business associate of Remsen, editor of the Pontotoc (Mississippi) "Spirit of the Times, Mississippi land agent and speculator, and clerk in the Erie Canal office in Buffalo, New York. Concurrently he read American history, gathered random notes, and gradually conceived plans for a book on western history and biography which he would eventually entitle "Sketches of the Lives of the Pioneers." Impressed by Draper's vision, in 1843 Remsen decided to fund Draper's historical research and travel in return for occasional domestic and business assistance. Until Remsen's death nine years later, Draper took full advantage of this remarkable opportunity. He made nine trips through the souteastern and middle states, filled several thousand notebook pages with interview notes and copies of archival records and newspaper articles, and acquired many of the most significant original manuscripts in his collection, including papers of Daniel Boone, Daniel Brodhead, George Rogers Clark and his brothers, the Martin family of Tennessee, and William Preston. In addition he wrote hundreds of letters appealing for manuscripts, recollections, and other data. By 1841 the task Draper envisioned had expanded from one volume to a series of some twenty titles including biographical dictionaries of western pioneers and western Indians, a historical reader for schoolchildren, a history of Dunmore's War, and biographies of such notable frontier figures as Daniel Boone, Samuel Brady, Joseph Brant and other Indian chiefs, Richard Butler, George Rogers Clark, William Crawford, Simon Kenton, James Robertson, John Sevier, Thomas Sumter, and William Witley. After Remsen's sudden death resulted in an abrupt cessation of income, Draper on the advice of other friends moved to Wisconsin, where in 1854 he was appointed corresponding secretary of the small State Historical Society of Wisconsin. For the next few years most of his personal interest were put aside while he devoted his time and energy to creating a firm administrative organization for the Society, attracting a broad state and national membership, and beginning the acquisition of books, manuscripts, and maps for its library and artifacts for its museum. By 1857 Draper could again find time for personal research and collecting in addition to performing his Historical Society functions. During the next thirty-four years he made several major trips for interviews, carried on a voluminous correspondence on Boone, Clark, and other contemporaries, and worked sporadically on several proposed historical and biographical books. Only one, "King's Mountain and Its Heroes" (1881), was ever published. Draper retired from his administrative duties at the Historical Society at the close of 1886. Still busily engaged with his manuscripts and his correspondence about Clark, he suffered a stroke and died in Madison on August 26, 1891. In politics Draper becomae a Democrat during his college days and remained an active member of this party thereafter, which often proved an asset in his collecting efforts in the South. In religion he was converted to the Baptist faith also while in Granville, and during his early years in Madison was a lay leader in the First Baptist Church. His Baptist connection was severed early in 1869 as the result of a conversion to spiritualism during a research trip to Indiana and Kentucky in the preceding autumn; for the rest of his years he remained a spiritualist. (Contrary to a widely publicized myth among genealogists, Draper was never ordained or appointed a minister to any church and ws never a circuit rider for any denomination or religious movement.) Draper was married twice, first in 1853 to his widowed cousin, Lydia Remsen, who died in May, 1888. Seventeen months later, in October, 1889, he married Lydia's friend, Mrs. Catherine T. Hoyt, who survived him. A full-length, well-researched biography of Draper was written by William B. Hesseltine. Entitled "Pioneer's Mission: The Story of Lyman Copeland Draper,," it was published by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin during the Draper Centennial commemoration in 1954. Out-of-print in its original format, it has been reissued on microfiche. ====================================================================================== From: Harriette Jensen Subject: HOISINGTON MAILING LIST - Major Joab Hoisington Date: Sun, 8 Jun 1997 17:38:47 -0800 Hi, all. Went surfing this morning. Did you know that there are 617 references to Hoisington on the web? Not all of them ours, but enough. I found this document on a Freeman website. Harriette =============================== Selected Documents from Revolutionary War Pension File W1043 Declaration of Elijah Mason in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. State of New York, Genesee County: On this fifteenth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared in open Court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, now sitting in the town of Batavia in the County of Genesee and said State of New York, being a Court of Record and keeping a Record of their proceedings and having a seal, Elijah Mason, a Resident of the town of Wethersfield in said county of Genesee and State of New York, aged seventy eight years on the twenty fifth day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and thirty two, who bing first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832.

Seely, whose first name he cannot recollect, commanded the third Company -- that he enlisted as sergeant in the detached service until he received a commission as Lieutenant in the year 1781 -- that his detachment was raised expressly to protect the frontiers and was styled The Detachment of Rangers -- that soon after he enlisted, his company was ordered to rendezvous at Newbury, Vt. which lies on the Connecticut River and that he was stationed at what was called the Ox Bow -- That at the time of his enlistment Vermont had not become a State and that he was employed in the New Yoirk State service or militia -- that he remained with his company at the Ox Bow, engaged in occasional scouting parties until some time in the early part of the summer of 1777, when Joab Hoisington, the Major Commandant of the Detachment, was summoned to appear in New York on account of a disaffection which had arisen in his detachment of Rangers and was excited by a jealousy between the New York State authorities and some few individuals in Vermont who were anxious to establish an independant Government in Vermont -- the commandant died soon after his arrival in New York and the detachment of Rangers soon after disbanded, that many belonging to it joined the Regiment which was at that time raised by Col. Warner and was styled Congress Regiment -- that after the disbandment, the time he cannot tell precisely, he went home and remained a short time and as he thinks about four weeks and then joined Col.

The book is about Maj. Joab Hoisington. If you have not read The Birthplace of Vermont by Henry Steele Wardner (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1927), I recommend it. It is dedicated to, among others, Ebenezer Hoisington and has some discussion about Joab H. The Woodstock (VT) Historical Society, a fine organization, has a few Joab items as well.

Joab is my 4th g-grandfather, Barzava is my 3rd, Jesse Hawkins is my 2nd, and Daniel Jesse my 1st. My grandmother, Clara Alice Hoisington Morris raised me on pictures and stories of the Oklahoma Hoisingtons. So when I got a scanner and scanned all the family pictures in, I was hooked. I zoomed in on those faces and they looked just like all my other Combs and Hoisington cousins! So I had to find out about them. Well, I found out a LOT more. What an adventurous bunch.

If you don't get anything in a couple of days, e-mail me back. In the meantime, I will send you the latest posting. As soon as I finish writing it, I'll also send you the "official" welcome message and instructions for posting to the list.

You must have a more sophisticated e-mail program than mine (Eudora Light). I have been thinking about moving up.... especially when I hear about being able to choose how to reply, filtering messages. Right now, I have to individually go through 150-200 messages a day to see if there's anything in the message that might pertain to something I'm interested in. Sort of like kissing frogs to find a prince. It's getting to be quite a chore and interfering with both my research and maintaining the 3 web sites I host. About Athens Co.: I just started corresponding with a man who owns a farm .5 miles east of Amesville, which is where Joab, Jr., Barzava, Lewis, Jesse Hawkins and a passel of other Hoisingtons lived. His family has lived there since at least 1815. I think I made rather a fool of myself in my last e-mail because I was so excited at being in touch with someone who actually knew what the area was like, but I asked him to describe the area so that I would have some realistic picture of what I would find when I finally get to go there. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. (Bonnie, about this time, I'm sure you're glad I wasn't able to go to VT. And, yes, I am one of those people who go gaga over visiting someplace they've only imagined in their minds [VBG]). I still wasn't able to finish my 12 pages of listowner instructions, but I did find out how to sub and unsub people from the list. It's actually easy, contrary to the amount of verbiage. So, tonight I'll tackle the "reply to" issue for those of us with old e-mail programs. Those with newer programs probably won't see any difference. By the way, there is a HOISINGTON-D for those of you that only pick up your e-mail once a week or so. Basically a matter of unsubbing to HOISINGTON-L and subbing to HOISINGTON-D. Which brings up the matter of vacations... there is no NOMAIL command at RootsWeb. You have to unsub from the list. If you're really afraid that you'll miss something, don't be. Just send an e-mail to me and I'll send you all the messages from while you were gone, at least until we get archives in place at RootsWeb. I've gone on much to long. Your turn.

I'm so excited. What a banner day for the Hoisingtons. I got a package from Maida Follini, the Canadian cousin. She sent a copy of her Hoisington Newsletter and a reprint of "John Horsington of New England" by Fred Q. Bowman from The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, which is a very scholarly and detailed accounting of the early New England Hoisingtons and Horsingtons (Yes, there's more. These are Southern (VA).). If any of you want a copy of these, just send me your name and address and I'll send you one. The second thing is that I received an e-mail from a SECOND cousin, Birdie McNutt, today. She's the grand-daughter of my great-uncle Freddie Franklin Hoisington of OK. I will be adding her to the list this evening. ===================================================================================== From: Bonnie Dannenberg Subject: Re: HOISINGTON Mailing List - E-mail Programs and Athens County OH Date: Sat, 14 Jun 1997 21:57:11 -0400 (EDT) On Fri, 13 Jun 1997, Harriette Jensen wrote: > You're back. How did your trip to VT go? Fast:)) Unfortunately I only had two days this time, so I didn't get any Hoisington work done. I concentrated on my Nelson line, in Fayston. It was quite successful. I copied 37 deeds, mostly for my gg-grandfather, and ggg-grandfather. The town clerk was very helpful, after she commented on my "Cat" t-shirt, and I mentioned that I breed Balinese. She has Siamese, and decided I must be "O.K." if I was a cat person:) I also took four rolls of film of the various cemetaries. I found out the names of two ggg-grandparents I didn't have before. Now I have to sort out 3 or four "Stephen Nelsons", and a like number of Jonathans:) There is even a "Nelson Farm Road" in Fayston. Anyway, all in all it was a good trip. Route 100 has beautiful scenery. We also drove through Woodstock, and I've never been there before. It's a lovely town... I'm *tempted* to run back up this week, but I really can't. I have a dentist apt. on Thursday that I really can't postpone again. So right now, I'm planning to go for the Hoisington work in July. And I hope to stay for at least four days. I'll see what I can find in Windsor, Woodstock, and anywhere else we think would be good to check.... > You must have a more sophisticated e-mail program than mine (Eudora Light). > I have been thinking about moving up.... especially when I hear about > being able to choose how to reply, filtering messages.

People who use Eudora tell me that they have "filters" that will sort through the mail and put it in the trash, or whatever folder they want it to be in. I *think*.

It would be *great* to go together!:) I'm going to try to take a video of the area, the cemetaries etc. when I do the Hoisington trip and send it to you.

However, if I don't respond right away, you'll know I'm still having computer problems (Second new ZIP disk has died. Software corrupted and causing havoc with everything else.).

One of the things I did when I came online was to check the Family TreeMaker site for Hoisington. However, I did not have all the alternative spellings then. So I checked again and came up with the following listings for Horsington, Hossington, Hossenton, Hassington. All of the first names are familiar to me and listed by Harry Hoisington as Hoisingtons except: Austin, Bridget, Emret, and Orrellia Hassington (Orrellia may be an alternate of Aurilla) Swain, Theodocia, Olga, and Thomas Horsington (Thomas was the one listed in "Original Lists of Persons of Quality") My 1st question is: Have you ever seen these names before and/or do you have any information on the above? My second question is: Do any of you have any of the Family TreeMaker CDs? If you do, would you look in them and post the information to the list? Harriette Name Est.

I started inputting Harry Hoisington's info into my database again, but it's rough work. His sense of organization and my PAF database's organization don't mesh too well. I've got about 2800 Hoisington descendants entered and only about 5000 to go! When it's done (or even before), I'd like to be able to enter your data so that it's as complete as we can make it and, eventually, put it on a website. I'm not entirely satisfied with the formats that I've seen, so I'm trying to figure out something that will be interesting reading, not just a series of names, dates and links. If anybody has any suggestions or is willing to contribute something, just let me know. Harriette =====================================================================================
