September Program - Early Afr o-Americans In De-fiance County

Dianne Kline, a DCGS member, presented the program“Early Afro-Americans in Defiance County.” Shepointed out some of the many resources she used in or-der to glean information for her presentation--censuses,military and land records, and newspaper accounts.Dianne told of Ohio's black laws which governed treat-ment of Afro-Americans from 1804-1849 and the im-portance of having a certificate of freedom. Without it,Afro-American were subject to arrest as were those har-boring or helping run-aways in any way.

Dianne also pointed out that census takers noted only

the color of person and indicated that on the census. Atvarious times only black or white was listed; other yearsthe census taker could indicate mulatto-- based againonly upon the color of the skin. Children of the sameparents could and were listed different racially.

From the 18950 census, there were 11 blacks living inthe city of Defiance and 9 in Richland Township, namelythe Neil family. By 1880 there were 65 in Defiance, 5 inRichland, and 124 in Highland. Dianne followed sev-eral families. Edward Fidler, a successful barber, wasin Defiance County as early as 1845. Twenty years laterhe had moved to Illinois with a net worth of $5000 andeight children, two of whom were barbers.

The Lett Family lived for 36 years in the same cabin inMilford Township. George was a shingle maker and hadten children. At age 36 he fought in the Civil War andwas noted to be white. Other families Dianne followedwere the Carters, Worthingtons, Hubbards, Vinegars,Mumfords, and Scotts.

Alber t W. King and the Sultana DisasterThe following information came from chapter memberJoanne Allison.

My great-grandmother’s maiden name wasHulda Emilie King. Her brother Albert W. King fromDefiance served with Company D, 100th Reg., OhioVolunteer Infantry. I recently was fortunate enough tomake connection with the great-grand niece of AlbertW. King, (and also the great-granddaughter of JohnMartin Richholt), and she has Albert’s diary telling abouthis experience as a survivor of the sinking of the Sul-tana. A book entitled Loss of the Sultana and Reminis-cences of Survivors: Voices of the Civil War edited byChester D. Berry contains Albert’s story. His accountcan also be found at a National Geographic Site: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/05/0501_river5.html.

And in Albert’s words:

“I jumped upon the stern railing and watched the crowdin the water waiting to see an opening to make the jumpwithout striking anyone, and when I did make the plungeI came in contact with drowning men, and when I cameto the supposed surface I struck the bottom of the boat;but I soon succeeded in getting out but many were stillon the water and got a hold of me but I fought hard forfreedom and saw a chance to pass under the stern of theboat without being nabbed when a lady jumped downupon me and getting a hold of my shirt, and nearlystrangled me, I soon broke away from her and swim-ming but a short distance, when a board came up infront of me which I grabbed for support and returned tohelp the lady who was loudly calling for assistance,when another board popped up in front of me I placedone on top of the other and went back to her and placedthe boards under her arms when she informed me thatshe had on a life preserver which slipped down whenshe jumped down from the cabin window to water whileclinging to a rope.

“I was cautious to keep her in front of me working hardto the Arkansas side; often she would ask me if I thoughtwe would be saved; to this I could give her no encour-aging answer as everything around us was now in dark-ness and many going in the same direction and callingloudly for help.

Johnson Miller Co. E, 14th Regiment

Johnson Miller of Sherwood, Ohio enlisted as aprivate on August 21, 1861 at the age of nineteen. Hewas promoted to full sergeant 11 Jan. 1864, promotedto full corporal 14 Jan. 1864, and promoted to full firstsergeant 22 June, 1865. He mustered out 11 July 1865.

Johnson was wounded twice-- at KenesawMountain and at Chicamauga. It was at Kenesaw Moun-tain that he was struck by a spent minie ball in theforehead just above the left eye. According to one ofhis relatives, “The ball did not have enough force to gothrough his thick skull. This spent minie ball only wentabout half way through Johnson’s skull. The Civil Wardoctors were afraid to take it out, so they left it there asit was.” According to the relative’s son, Johnson’s skineventually grew around the minie ball, and he went forthe rest of his life with the ball stuck in his skull.

long distance below us when I discovered we were drift-ing in amongst brush up on an island over which thewater was rushing many feet deep. We were soon seatedon a log among driftwood and, by me holding onto acottonwood sappling we could keep our heads abovewater. Some time after daylight we were picked up bymen in a large rowboat attracted to us by CommanderL. G. Morgan who called to them for to pick us up whichthey did and were taken to a cabin on the island andplaced before a hot fire in a fireplace in company withmany others where we soon thawed out.

“Later in the day we were taken aboard a small steamerwith many others and transported to Memphis. On land-ing we were given wool underclothes by the citizens - Ipresume merchants of Memphis. As I refused to go tothe hospital I was taken along with others to the Sol-diers Home, some distance out from the city;

“The lady was taken charge of by some doctors. Whilewe were in front of a good fire in the cabin on the is-land, in the presence of one of my company comrades,the lady took from her finger a very nice ring and pre-sented to me saying that she was the wife of an engi-neer, who operating on the Red River, that his namewas W. E. Perry whom she had just visited and was onher way home in Cincinnati and had lost all her valu-ables in the disaster.

“Twenty years later I went to Cincinnati to locate thesePerrys but did not succeed. Afterwards I tried to findthem by using the newspapers but without learning any-thing as to their wherabouts.”

When he was still a private, Johnson Miller’scommander at the Battle of Franklin Tennessee was Lt.Colonel (later Brig. General) Isaac Sherwood. After thewar, about 1875, when General Sherwood had becomethe Congressional Representative for Defiance County,Johnson recommended that the small settlement alongthe B&O Railroad in which he lived be named Sherwoodin honor of Isaac Sherwood. The village was so named,so that a post office could be established.

Coincidently, the village was almost namedMillersburg in honor of one Elias Miller, Johnson’s fa-ther who was one of the early platters of the village.Elias Miller had five sons, all of whom were active inbusinesses in the village. The pre-existence of aMillersburg in Ohio pre-cluded the Millersburgname. Dave

Well, here we go again-- you didn’t tell me tostop. With the holidays coming up, I decided to run“Christmas on a Canal Boat.” Here it goes.

Christmas on a Canal BoatHow are we going to spend Christmas! ex-

claimed the good-natured Mrs. Captain Boggs seeminglya bit surprised at the question, for canal boat folks aresensitive of any criticism aimed in their direction.

“Why we’re going to spend the day just like otherfolks. Some think because we live on a canal boat, wedon’t have any comforts and eat like savages. My, butI’d heap-sight rather live down here than in a flat likemy niece. She’s got six rooms and they can’t begin tobe as big as mine. If you think there ain’t room justlook here.”

Mrs. Boggs then displayed the secrets of a suitof rooms, the ingenuity of the arrangement rivaling theden of a New York bachelor girl. Out of the cabin whichserved as living and dining rooms combined, jutted twoalcoves beside the kitchen which was even tinier thanthe modern apartment kitchenette.

While under ordinary circumstances, the kitchenwas part of the cabin proper-- two doors all right anglesto each other-- could be drawn out so that they couldform a room by itself.A shiny coal stove or range quitefilled the compartment leaving just room enough towork, while above it every inch of wall space was util-

The 68th OVIAccording to the History of Defiance County

1883, the 100th began its first winter 1861-1862in comparative luxury. The regiment was organized at CampLatty in Napoleon with one company from each of Defiance,Paulding, Williams, Henry, and Fulton Counties-- the restcoming from Henry County. The men had Sibley tents fur-nished with stoves and plenty of supplies received from theirhomes. On January 21, 1862 the men moved to Camp Chasenear Cincinnati where they trained until Feb. 7.

Arriving in Danelson, Tennessee, the regiment wasassigned to Gen. Charles Smith’s division and were immedi-ately involved in skirmishes. After Pittsburg Landing, due tobad weather and illness the regiment, originally numberingabout 1000 was reduced to about 250 men. The regiment wasthen assigned to Gen. Lew Wallace. Around Corinth, Missis-sippi, the regiment was engaged in building roads, bridges,and trenches. They saw action in the battles of Iuka andMetamora. During the campaign in Mississippi the regimentwas assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, 17thArmy Corps with which it remained the rest of the war.

In Louisiana the men working clearing roads andbridges in the bayous. Thereafter they were involved in thesiege of Vicksburg fighting in such battles as Thompson’s Hill,Raymond, Champion Hills, Big Black, and Fort Hill. Afterthe battle at Jackson, the unit guarded 600 prisoners intoVicksburg. After a rest, the unit went on to fight at Monroe ,Louisiana and after due to injury or illness, the unit lost one-third of its men.

The 68th was one of the first regiments in the 17thCorp. to report three-fourth of its men to reenlist. In Decem-ber the unit headed north on its veterans’ furlough. In Toledothey especially received a warm welcome with a band andparae through the streets.

In May, by train, they headed back to Cairo, Missis-sippi, joining some one hundred new recruits, that had beenleft in Mississippi. Here the regiment was given new Spring-field rifles and 750 strong, they joined Sherman in the Atlantacampaign where the 68th was under almost constant fighting.After Atlanta, the unit moved on the Savannah and then throughNorth Carolina and Virginia eventually ending in WashingtonCity where it took part in the grandreview on May 24, 1865.

By war’s end the 68th had been in every rebel stateexcept Florida and Texas. It had marched over 7000 milesand traveled by railroad and steamboat over 6000 miles.Company E Officers--Sidney S.

Canal Boats (Continued from page 49)

ized for pots and kitchen utensils of every sort. A lowcupboard opening into the hold contained more articlesof kitchen usage, as well as vegetables and canned goods.

Bunks were displayed in the two other alcoveswhich were in open view of the cabin. But from therecesses of the boat, Mrs. Boggs pulled out a slidingdoor which completely divided the space into two roomsand when curtains were drawn into the cabin the occu-pants enjoyed all the privacy desired. A big divider couldbe opened up at night into a roomy double bed, and an-other bunk just under the bed was sufficiently large totuck two small youngsters away. A chest of drawersbuilt in and wardrobes and cupboards in out of the wayplaces supplied room for bedding and clothing and bootsand shoes for a family of children.

One of the biggest surprises in the boat, onewhich bore a hint that might be applied in small houseswhere room is of a premium was the preserved fruitlocker.

“We all do up our own fruit,” said Mrs. Boggs.“You see while we go up the canal we are in the countrymost of the time, and it is much cheaper to put up ourown fruit then buy it in the winter, and this is where westore it.”

Going to the stairs up the companion way, shepulled out tiny drawers. Small knobs jutted out fromthe drawers. Within there was quite room enough toallow pint fruit jars standing upright. A cold storageroom was tucked away in the hold into which a smalldoor about two feet in height opened. The dining roomtable was a folding affair which turned up against thewall of the cabin when not in use.

When some surprise was expressed at the pres-ence of a sewing machine in the room, Mrs. Boggs said,“Oh, that’s nothing. Many of the boats have organs aswell, and there is one fitted up with a porcelain bathtub. So you see we have some of the luxuries of cityhouses, and a lot of good air and sunshine. A concert isto be given on one of the boats here New Year’s Eve,and if you should like to come down, we’d be glad tohave you and show you a bit of canal boat hospitality.”

Mrs. BoggsDefiance Democrat March 1910

I hope you had a very “Merry Christmas and aHappy New year!” See you next year.
