A FORWARD BY THE AUTHOR
I-DENTITY was written to satisfy the hunger each of us has
to know "who am I and where did I come from?" Perhaps the
background will give a sense of direction to the foreground.
The following is an explanation of the purpose of this work
and is by no means an apology for it.
A genealogy is simply an account of family ancestors and rel-
atives with their pedigrees. No doubt some will find it dull,
dry, boring-while others will think it exciting. In my
research, I have found references to different families' occupat-
ions, careers, and special projects which are included to add
interest. Hopefully each Longshore family will find this work
helpful whenever he would like to find out where Great, Great
Uncle Harry lived and what he did for a living, who his wife was
and how many kids did he have anyway, and why did he leave Ohio
(or wherever) in the first place! You will not find all the
answers but you may find some valuable clues. I have carefully
researched and tried to validate all statements. However, by the
very nature of the subject, some data has to be based on tradit-
ion, hearsay, and the reliability of someone's memory. Even the
census takers made mistakes in their recordings of names and
birthdates, partly because at times the respondents themselves
did not know how to spell their names, read, or write and oftentimes
the early census takers themselves were just one step ahead of the
illiterate. So please take any mistakes in stride and try to
understand how it could happen even among very conscientious
recorders; and make your own corrections and additions.
The genuine history student no doubt will thrill as he fits
his own ancestor into the proper time slot and location, and his
imagination can run riot as he pictures his courageous OWN-striving
for religious freedom, fighting the wars, clearing the
wilderness, fleeing the Indians, burying their children, strugg-
ling to stave off starvation and other privations. He can also
envision happy times such as barn dances, family and community
gatherings, games and contests, the plain simple family together-
ness in work and recreation. Americans have always played, sung
their songs, and danced, and most importantly - laughed!
Many thanks to each of you who has cooperated so beautifully
and contributed in any way. Special gratitude to my father-in-law,
Lester Longshore, who patiently racked his brain to answer my
persistent questions; Harold and Bessie Longshore who drove to
Ohio from Iowa last fall special to bring their data on the Truman
Longshore line, compiled in part by the late Homer Longshore and
Matilda Longshore Rule; Claire Longshore Raybuck who helped me
read tedious microfilm at the libraries; my husband, Russell, who
tolerated my meanderings in the cemeteries, and my absent-mindedness
while I was focusing on people, dates, and places of yesteryear;
but most of all to my daughter, Janet Nuckles Mallett, who gave
freely of her expertise and time to photocopy this story.
I have loved every minute of this experience, especially the
making of new friends. If in any way, my probings into family
matters has offended anyone, please forgive.

Organization and Numbering
I have endeavored to keep the numbering system simple for
easy, prompt reference. I will attempt to explain the method.
The generations will start with Pennsylvania emigrant,
David Longshore. Since this is a vertical genealogy; that is
each ancestor's descendants follow his introduction, the
Roman numerals will represent the generations and will be used
for each family grouping. A generation is considered to be
roughly a span of 30 years, but sometimes they overlap in the
larger families. David Longshore's children will be Generation
I, and each of his children will have a Capital letter in
order of birth, to set them apart from the later generations.
Following generations will have only the Roman numeral with
an Aramaic numeral to indicate the birth sequence among the
brothers and sisters. For example:
David Longshore, emigrant from Pa. in 1806
Issue: I IA John Longshore
IB Cyrus Longshore
IC Warner Longshore
ID Rachel Longshore
IE Sarah Longshore
IF Charles Longshore
IG David Longshore, Jr.
IH Daughter Longshore (?)
Cyrus IB = second child of David (the first)
Truman IIB4 = fourth child of Cyrus
Clem IIIB3 = third child of Truman
William Bryan IVB1 = first child of Clem
Leona Longshore Pratt VB2 = 2nd child of Wm. Bryan
Patti Ann Pratt VIB1 = 1st child of Leona Pratt
The index will tell which page each family group is on, so
the reader can turn immediately to the branch he is particu-
larly interested in at the moment, without having to thumb
through reams of irrelevant material.
It is suggested that corrections and additions be made on
the back of the corresponding sheets so as to keep the book
legible and neat. Extra sheets can be inserted or added at
the back.

Possible Pennsylvania Beginnings of Longshores
Robert Longshore
"Robert Longshore, gentleman"! With all that this word
connotes, WHY would Robert ever leave his established, secure,
comfortable home in England, to delve into an unknown, untamed
land? Perhaps his young blood raced at the thought of making
his mark in America, the land of opportunity! Maybe he was
simply an adventurous sort wishing to break the bonds of family
and tradition. Could be, Robert was seeking religious freedom such as the
Quaker, William Penn, had sought in America. Whatever
his reasons, the real truth of it will never be known. It is
known that many grossly exaggerated stories of America's wealth
and opportunities had floated back to England and enticed folk
there to migrate to the "land of the free". Consequently, thousands
of Europeans sailed to America shortly after Robert's arrival in
1681. Most likely Robert Longshore, a surveyor, had already been
commissioned as a deputy surveyor to Thomas Holme before he left
his homeland, which would have assured him a measure of security.
Robert Longshore did help Holme survey and plan the city of Philadelphia
for William Penn. This beautiful port city along the
Delaware River became known as the city of Brotherly Love, because
its proprieter ruled it and the colony with fairness and love,
allowing total freedom of worship. Penn endeavored to treat the
Indians fairly also and did not incur their hatred as leaders in
other colonies had done.
There were 45,333 square miles in this grant of wilderness
land which had been given to Penn at his request as settlement
of an $80,000 debt owed by King Charles II of England to William
Penn's father, Admiral Sir William Penn. William Penn wanted a
refuge for himself and his Quaker followers away from the com-
pulsory attendance to the church of England. Matter of fact,
since he had been jailed several times because of his rebellion
and religious fervor, he had become a nuisance to the Crown and
an embarrassment to his father; therefore they were relieved to
be rid of this rebel, William Penn. Robert Longshore, himself,
could have been a part of this Quaker movement!
At any rate, this city Robert had helped lay out soon became
a cultural center and prospered. It rivaled Boston and was the
capital of colonial Pa. Pennsylvania became a leader among the
other 12 colonies, namely; Virginia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, New Hamp-
shire, The Carolinas, and Georgia and became known as the Key-
stone State because of its location. Pennsylvania and Maryland
were the only two proprietary colonies, which meant they were
owned by individuals.
Robert Longshore situated himself in the center of Phila-
delphia on the corner of Market and Front Streets. In due time,
this founding father of the American Longshores met and wed
Margaret Cock, a daughter of Pieter Larson Cock. Pieter had
been among the first Swedish immigrants coming to Pa. in 1641.
He was a collector of tolls, imports and exports, for the
colonies. He also served a magistrate for New Sweden and later
as a deputy governor.

[corresponds to page 6 of I-DENTITY]
Sometime after Robert and Margaret's union, he purchased
500 acres of land in Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pa. and
settled there. Robert and Margaret probably were born about
1660, give or take a few years. There is no record to show
how many children they presented to their new country but most
likely they did their duty. A son, Euclydus I, was born about
1690.
Not much is known of Euclydus I, except on Jan. 8, 1715,
he married Alice Stackhouse (b1699) when she was but 16. Alice
was a daughter of Thomas and Grace Heaton Stackhouse, one of
14 children. Alice's father was a descendant of Thomas Stack-
house, who arrived on the boat "Welcome"in 1682, and her mother,
a daughter of Robert and Alice Heaton of Middletown, Pa. It is
said that the 1st generation children of the Stackhouses inter-
married with the families of Clark, Stone, Wilson, Longshore,
Copeland, Gilbert, Watson, Plumley, Cary, Haring, Janney, Mitchell,
Stephenson, Tomlinson, and others and that their descendants are
almost legion --. Euclydus I and Alice lived in Middletown, Pa.,
where he died in 1764.
Issue of Euclydus I and Alice Stackhouse Longshore:
Robert 10/13/1716
Grace 2/24/1717 - 1726
Thomas 9/13/1721
Margaret 4/21/1724
Alice 7/ 4/1726
Grace (2) 6/18/1728
Euclydus 12/ 4/1730 - 1732
Mary 10/30/1732 - 1734
* Euclydus II 4/27/1735 - 6/14/1804
This descension shows the high death rate among children
at that time. Since only five of Euclydus I's children sur-
vived him, out of nine produced, sorrow was no stranger to
Euclydus and Alice. At this period in the country's history,
manpower was needed and so large families were desirable to help
with the work, usually on a farm where they could raise their
own food; and to offset the death toll. Because of frequent
childbirth, hard work, hardships, lack of medical attention,
women too fell prey to the grim reaper, and it was not uncommon
at all for a man to have two, three, four wives in his life-
time.
The family line is picked up through Euclydus II and it seems
he was the most prolific of the Longshores, fathering 22 children,
11 by each wife. No one could accuse him of showing favoritism!

It is to be noted that only twelve of Euclydus II's 22
children survived him, attesting again to the high infant mor-
tality rate. As late as 1900 and beyond, the infant mortality
rate was 50%. Since most people in the 18th and 19th centuries
had to make the caskets used by their family members, a supply
in different sizes was generally kept made up ahead. Many infants
succumbed to a disease called cholera infantum; typhoid, malaria,
& tuberculosis also claimed many lives. Not only did individual
families supply their own coffins, they likewise dug the graves;
so tragedy made a double impact on them in the early days.
According to Thomas Ellwood Longshore, from whom most of
the previous data has come and who supplied many records up
to 1890, the following is from his compilation regarding
Euclydus II's family:
Some of Abner Longshore's descendants settled in Ohio

This author wishes to digress at this point from the direct
line to follow a sideline. Euclydus Longshore II's son, Abraham's
family, had some active, interesting, and distinguished members
whose contributions to society will give some insight to the par-
ticular line this compiler is pursuing.
"Memoranda and Notes of the Longshore Family, Pioneers of
Which Settled in Bucks Co., Pa." is also written by the same
descendant, Thomas E. Longshore, son ofAbraham Longshore, and
was compiled from tradition and the records he had found. Some
of his data used in this narration heretofore has been paraphased
but this item is verbatim. It will be of interest to the family
today because it shows how Thomas E.'s grandfather's and father's
families weathered the hard time of the late 1700s and early
1800s when this new country was suffering growing pains follow-
ing its independence. Suffice it to say that these gentlemen did
not serve in the Revolutionary War probably because they had
such large families to support. Many of their descendants served
in later wars, proving their patriotism.
"Euclydus Longshore, our grandfather, from the impression
I have received from different members of the family, was rather
an easy, good-natured man with a kind of dry humor. He was of a
light, sandy complexion with light brown hair. At the time,
Father, (Abraham) was born (11/6/1785), I believe the family was
living in a stone, one story house, north of John Watson's farm,
in Middletown, Bucks Co.,Pa., on the south side of the
road. Grandfather was not much of a farmer but things
drifted anyhow. The children went to work as soon as old
enough. Father went to James Wildman's to live at age 12,
as a "taken" boy * He did not get along satisfactorily
with old Adam Adams, their colored hired man, and refused
to thresh in the barn with him because of being so abused.
Father kept a daily diary as proof of his grievances so he
could be freed from his indenture*. Euclydus, my grand-
father, died when Father (Abraham) was 19. Father borrowed
$1000. to purchase a farm and it was all he could do to pay
interest. We all had to do what we could to save money by
living poor and dressing in homespun clothing, eating mush,
rye bread without butter or molasses, and potatoes, no tea
or coffee, or sugar, or even lard, rye pie shortened with
smoked pot-skimmings and dried apples so sour we made the
less of it answer. Father had gone to school 3 months and
learned to read, write, and cipher. He had a good memory
and could sing 100 songs. He loved to read, mostly the
Bible". (Abraham's father, Euclydus II, died in 1804)

Articles of indenture were drawn up with all the care of a
conveyance of real estate and corresponding obligations of
master and apprentice were specifically set forth." (Taken

Excerpt from HISTORY OF BUCKS CO., PA. by Davis - published 1905
Another son of Abraham Longshore
"Among the prominent sons of Middletown, who live in history,
Joseph S. Longshore, b 1809 d 1879, is entitled to a niche. He
lost partial use of one leg when a boy and was lamed for life.
Turning his attention to the medical profession, he graduated in
medicine from the University of Pa. at age 24 and practiced
several years at Attleborough (later named Langhorne). In 1850,
he established a medical College in Philadelphia for women, the
first of its kind in the world. He was also an ardent advocate
of total abstinence and an active abolitionist, at a period when
it required no little courage to declare oneself."

were great contributors to their fellow man, be it on a local,
state, or national scale; always ready to serve.

August 11, 1991
Dear Mrs. Longshore:
join the DAR and wrote to two of her father's cousins, one a Davidson
and one a Longshore. She didn't get to join but the letters she re-
ceived were very helpful when I started my research. Incidentally,
the Longshore cousin she wrote to was James C. who was loving at 1201
Hamlet St. in Columbus at the time. I don't know what year he died
but he was elderly at the time-79-and only he and his sister Sarah
were still alive.
The reason that you don't find a complete list of the children
of Euclydus and Susannah Van Horn is that they were married out of
meeting. All of the children of that first marriage had names beginning
with A. When Euclydus returned to the Quakers he took what children he
could back with him and his son Abner was one of the witnesses at his
marriage to Sarah Gillam. I was told recently by one of my earlier
correspondents that another lady had told him that the David Longshore
who married Elizaneth Warner was the son of Cyrus Longshore, who was
marred to Mary David and waws the son of Thomas Longshore and Joanna
Vance.
Thomas Longshore was the son of euclydus Longshore and Alice
Stackhouse and was born the 13th day of the 9th month 1721. He was
married to Johanna Vance on the 10th day of the 4th month 1742 at the
Middletown Monthly Meeting (LDS film 20403, pp.308-9). Thomas' will
is file # 1162, Bucks Co., PA. It is dated 11 Jan 1777 and proved 13
Feb 1777. Johanna died between the writing of her will dated 22 d 4m
1792 and the probate date of 14 June 1794 and is file # 2535 Bucks. Co.
Her parents are as yet unknown but she has a sister, Jane McLear.
the first child of Thomas and Johanna was born less than nine months
after their marriage and Thomas became angry with the reprimand of
the Quakers. In his will, thomas mentions his wife Johanna, his sons
Thomas, cyrus, and euclydus and his daughters, elizabeth Hunter and
Margaret Wiley. I found deeds dated 14 Apr 1784, filed 27 Sept 1785,
of Cyrus and wife mary and euclydus and wife Jane. They mention that
the land came from their father, Thomas. Johanna in her will mentions
her sister, Jane McLear, her son Euclydus, her daughters, Elizabeth
Hunter (wife of Andrew) and her daughter Margaret Wiley, her grandson
Amos (the son of thomas who later married Ann cox) and her granddaughter
Jane (the daughter of Cyrus who later married Aaron Cox). These are
known facts and I have written to the lady in Iowa to find out the
facts on which she bases her conclusions. The death date given for
David Longshore is 3 Nov 1859. The 1800 Tax list for Middletown Twp.,
Bucks Co. shows him as a single man. 20 Jan 1802 david Longshore
of Middletown m. Elizabeth Weber/Warner, Isaac Hicks, J.P. then 1810
Tax list in delaware Co., 67A., Range 17, Twp 4, Section 1 and the same in
1814. I will let you know when I hear on what the lady has based her
conclusions.
Can you suggest any of the other descendants of the branch of
David Longshore-Elizabeth Warner to whom I could write to bring other
lines down to the present? Is it possible to secure copies of wills,
obits, and the other pertinant data? I would pay copying costs if
that would help.

To get back on the track -
The Ohio progenitor of the Longshores is David Longshore.
There is data to prove he came to Ohio in 1806; to Del. Co. with
his brother, Euclydus (III), in 1808; purchased land in Delaware
County in 1811. Many clues link David to the line of Robert,
Euclydus I, Euclydus II; but actually there is no record found,
as of this date, to prove a David Longshore, born Jan. 1779,
was born to this line or any other line! This author is still
researching on this puzzle and if additional information is ever
unearthed, it will be attached at the end of the story. It is
the considered opinion of this compiler that the "missing link"
can be theorized as follows: Perhaps[underlined] David was the youngest
child of Euclydus ** and ____Cox Longshore and possibly his
mother died at his birth or shortly thereafter. In the con-
fusion, his birth was never recorded. This thought is based
on his birthdate of Jan. 25, 1779; the fact Euclydus II remarried
on May 1780; and his first child by the second wife, Euclydus III,
was born in 1781. Since all of the children by Euclydus II's first
wife had names beginning with an "A", it could be that David did
not like his "A____" name, whatever it was, and decided to use his
other given name and change his image when he came to Ohio. At
any rate, there is no hint of the "A" in any of his legal papers.
The following excerpts are from biographies submitted by
one of David's children (Charles) and one of his daughter-in-laws
(Margaret) will bear out the fact David did come from Pa. in
1806 and settled in Delaware County, Ohio in 1808.
From Baskins 1880 HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY
"Charles Longshore, farmer: P.O. Condit; is a son of
David and Elizabeth (Warner) Longshore; his father
was born in Pa. and came to Ohio in 1806, settling in
Berkshire Township, west of Sunbury, on the farm now
owned by Mrs. Grist, where he lived until his death;
it was then a dense forest, there being but one house
between Delaware and Johnstown, and that where George
Gibson now resides; the only neighbor for some time was
a brother; their first nights were spent in the woods
around a fire, with a friendly Indian as company."
"Margaret Longshore, P.O. Condit; was born July 2, 1804,
a daughter of Christian and Sallie (Linderman) Young;
her father settled in Ohio about 1816, and farmed near
Galena until his death in 1838. She was married June
22, 1826, to Cyrus Longshore, by whom she has had six
children, four are now living; her husband was born
Nov. 24, 1804, in Muskingum Co., *Ohio, and came with
his parents to Delaware Co. about 1808, settling west
of Sunbury on a farm now owned by the Landon Brothers,
and in 1836 on the farm owned by Mrs. (Margaret) Long-
shore; he died May 3, 1870."

* There is a discrepancy about the place of Cyrus' birth;
the 1850 and 1860 Delaware County Census, also his death record,
state that he was born in Pa. It is possible David stopped in
Muskingum County in 1806 where other relatives lived, on his way
to central Ohio. This biography states he came to Delaware
County in 1808, which is entirely plausible. Somewhere else
there is a reference to David's having lived in Sunbury Township
before purchasing his farm in 1811 in Berkshire Township.
David Longshore was born three years after the birth of
the United States of America, and ten years before George
Washington became president in 1789. He arrived in Ohio during
the term of Thomas Jefferson, and in Delaware County in time to
['Del. Co. in 1808' handwritten in margin]
see Delaware City laid out in 1811, Columbus in 1812,
and Sunbury in 1816 and just four years before the War of 1812. At that time
Ohio was considered the Crossroads of the Nation. A big busines
boom existed immediately following that war. The schedule of
prices shown here will show the prosperity that lasted until 1819
when prices slid back to pre-war levels.
Pre-war Prices Prices 1812 - 1819
hogs - $1.50 per 100# hogs - $4.00 per 100#
oats - .50 per bu. oats - 1.00 per bu.
corn - .50 per bu. corn - 1.00 per bu.
flour - 1.00 per 100# flour - 4.00 per 100#
hay - 10.00 per ton hay - 20.00 per ton
Some prices nose-dived to below pre-war values, such as;
corn sold for 10-12 cents per bu.; potatoes - 12 cents bu., etc.
Rigid economy was practiced by all grades of society - even the
wealthy drank rye coffee and distinguished men dressed in blue
linsey pantaloons for a time. In 1820 in Columbus, Ohio, over
one hundred parcels of real estate were advertised in one ad-
vertisement of sheriff's sales! Gradually though the nation
recuperated from the recession. One blessing for the white
man was that he never again was bothered by the red man in
these parts after 1812. David and Euclydus (III) purchased
their 134 acres in Range 17, Twp. 4, Lot 4, from
Thomas Brown for $268.67 1/2. The 1812 Tax record values it at 67 1/2 cents
an acre! In 1816, it seems they sold half of this same land -
67 7/16 acres - for $400., tripling their money. Perhaps this
is a further example of the inflation of that period. Later
however, in 1819, a quit claim deed is recorded whereby Euclydus
(III) and Sarah, of Muskingum County, transferred the east half of
134 7/8 acres for the sum of $202. to David Longshore. Reference
to David, in Charles' biography, states that David lived on the
land he settled until his death in 1858. At the time this farm
was purchased in 1811, there were only 2000 people in the entire
county! By 1850, there were 1557 persons in Berkshire Township
but this dropped to 1392 in 1860. Nevertheless, it was not over-
populated at that time.
Following is a copy of the original land purchase by
David and Euclydus and their wives. (Euclydus is spelled 2
different ways in this same deed) -

* There is a discrepancy about the place of Cyrus' birth;
the 1850 and 1860 Delaware County Census, also his death record,
state that he was born in Pa. It is possible David stopped in
Muskingum County in 1806 where other relatives lived, on his way
to central Ohio. This biography states he came to Delaware
County in 1808, which is entirely plausible. Somewhere else

From the description in this deed and comparison with a
map of this area in 1811 and 1860, it is pretty well determined
that David's farm lay west of Sunbury, beginning at the corner
of St.Rt. 37 and Twp. Rt. 72, running along the southside of County
Rt 72 as far as the Henry Beaver farm. At the corner of RT. 37,
in more recent years, this area was known as the Burt Cornell
farm, and the old brick house about 1/8 mile west of Rt. 37 on Co. Rt.
72 was the homestead. Remnants of this house still lay there
up until about 10 years ago, when a new ranch-style house was
built by that grove of trees, and some of that farmland was
portioned into building lots. Jon-Jon's Restaurant is on the
corner now of Rts. 37 & Twp. Rt. 72. David's son, John, owned
land in this same territory which partially adjoined his father's
and that land is now owned by the V.M. Green heirs. Before it
came into the Green ownership, the land in the general area was
owned by Griste and Landon families. The original land purchase
passed from Longshore hands before 1860, probably at the time of
David's decease in 1858. Coincidentally, before he had any know-
ledge of where his ancestors had first settled, a descendant of
David's, Russell Longshore, purchased an acreage across the road
from the original plot and built a house on it 17 years ago (1959)!
At the turn of the 19th century, the land where David took
up abode could scarecely be seen for the trees; now the land can
scarcely be seen for the houses, shopping center, and commercial
buildings: Super highways have replaced the scenic byways and
the accelerated pulse of modern civilization - even in this rural
area - has supplanted the leisurely heart throb of nature and its
wonders. But then, that's progress! Everyone enjoys the modern
conveniences but they want the slower pace, and somehow oil and
water just don't mix.
"Despite technological advances, inventions, and explor-
ations that would have seemed miraculous to our grandparents;
indeed, that even seem miraculous to us, people are still people.
Go back in time - or forward - ten years, a hundred, or a thousand -
you'll find people loving, hating, desiring, and fearing the same
things as thoday. You'll find people valuing the same things -
success, status, comfort, friendship, love." An excerpt from
THE MASTERY OF PEOPLE by Auren Uris.
In this bicentennial year, it is popular to look back to
"the good ole days" and see only the good part; especially when
the TV announcer comes on with his "and this is the way it was,
200 years ago" accompanied by a fife and drum playing their
version of "Yankee Doodle". A little tingle goes up the spine
and one feels a yearning for the peace (?) of bygone days. It
is easy then to forget the hardships the pioneers faced each day.
It is doubtful if anyone of this generation could accurately define
a pioneer hardship because no one nowadays has experienced it; so
"starvation", "privation", "Indian massacre" are just words in today's
vocabulary. But then, possibly, the pioneer could not define the
words of this day, such as: "mugging", "freak-outs", "spaced out",
"murder contracts", et cetera.

Union Church (Bethel, in Licking Co.), of which he was
an Elder and Superintendent of Sunday Schools. The
biography also states he once carried mail from Johns-
town to Newark daily for one year, worked as a carpen-
ter for years, but mostly he farmed. Angeline was
born in Ohio just one year after her parents, Almerian
and Elizabeth (Jewett) Bourn who were born in Mass.,
came to Ohio in 1839. "After marriage, I.N. and Angeline
settled on the old homestead where their resident still
is (in 1880). (This is where the Harvey McElroy farm
now is on Ross Rd., Trenton Twp.) In May of 1880, I.N.
sold his farm for $1000. cash and soon after bought one
of 47 acres at $60.00 an acre from A. C. Bowers; he
also worked 83 acres of his mother's (Cyrus' and Margaret's)
farm." In late years he retired to a house and lot in
Condit across from the schoolhouse and cemetery. His
son, Seth, then took over the farming.

After the death of Truman's 2nd wife, Lucretia, in 1881, Truman brought
his motherless children back to Ohio and he never went out west again. The
children were taken in by various family members until old enough to go on their
own. Since Harriet (Longshore) and her husband, George Ginn, only had one child,
Elmine, at home they took 14 year old Milo into their home. One day when Milo
was near 18 years of age, he went downtown to get a loaf of bread for his aunt.
Two years later he returned and tossed a loaf of bread on the table, saying,
"Here's your loaf of bread!"
The 2nd time he left he kept in contact with them. The Ginns also had been
in Iowas for three years but George become so homesick they came back to Ohio.
This was prior to Truman's tragedy.
When Clem Longshore, along with his parents, Truman and Lucretia and their
family were traveling out west from Ohio, they used a flat bed wagon. They
had a team of horses, two cows, one sow, and a dog. On the wagon was a bed,
dresser, and two stoves. The womenfolk rode on the wagon and drove the team
while the father and sons walked. When they came to a cabin, it was customary
for that family to provide accommodations for the travelers. They fed the
family and livestock. The men of the house went outside and slept under the
wagon with the traveling men while the women all slept inside the house.
When the Longshores arrived at their destination, they turned the horses
out to pasture. The horses ran off toward home with the dog. The dog made it
on home but the horses stopped at the "big river". Later the horses were found
beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route) which evidently they
were reluctant to cross. A postcard informed the
Longshores of the horses' whereabouts. Truman took a train to retrieve the
horses.

Truman Longshore
Fourth Son of Cyrus Longshore II B4
The Truman Longshore line is being recorded out of sequence of Cyrus'
sons because his family seemed to be more prolific, plus the fact he and most
of his Ohio ancestors and their descendants remained or still live in the
particular area where this compiler lives. Therefore, information is more
accessible as well as personal knowledge and contact with the subjects and
availability of resource material gives more insight to this line. Every effort has
been made to research the other lines and all submitted material has been
appreciated and used. Consequently an abundance of data follows: possibly Job
14:1-9 expresses what he may have felt at times: "Man is born of woman, is of
few days, and full of trouble."
Truman was one of the four, out of six, sons who survived his father,
Cyrus; Jonathan and Minor having died before 1870. He and his mother,
Margaret were executors of Cyrus' will. Truman was sort of a jack-of-all-trades,
having farmed a great amount, he was a competent teamster, operated a
sawmill and tile mill, et cetera. He must have been somewhat of an adventurer
considering that he got around considerably for that day of poor traveling
facilities. The railroad came to Delaware in 1851 and it was called the "Big Four"
since it ran through Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis, and
Truman could have used its accommodations some of the time. At any rate, get
around he did, whether by horseback, carriage, stagecoach, covered wagon, or
by rail. To travel by any of these methods required super desire, courage, a
strong constitution, and perseverance! Truman may have been enticed to
pursue greener pastures by the lectures of Horace Greeley who was a journalist
and politician who went around over the country lecturing with the clarion call
"Go west, young man!" hinting of riches and acclaim that lay just beyond for
the going and claiming. It is known that some of Truman's Longshore cousins
also answered this call and went West; perhaps forming a wagon train.
Rumblings from some of the wives' grumblings are still being heard of, such as;
"Haint no sense to it at all!" The women were content with their lot in life right
where they were. The gold rush of 1849 (although Truman at 14 was too young
to embark at that time) may have had some appeal although there is no record
of any Longshore having found gold! Some of the Longshores must have found
something they liked in Illinois and Iowa because some went and stayed. Most
of them eventually came back to Ohio and their roots here.
It is known that Truman found his first wife, Larusia Bouier, in Peoria,
Illinois in 1859. Most likely he lived out there farming before and in the early
part of his marriage. His son, Clem, many times told the story of his father's
second move out to Illinois. They went by covered wagon. In the late fall, they
turned the horses out to open pasture as was the custom there. The horses and
dog must have been homesick because they ran off toward Ohio. Later the
horses were found beside a large river (which lay on the homeward route)
which evidently they were reluctant to cross. The dog left them (as compared to
Ohio's at that time) and said that one time he harrowed corn all day and didn't
get over the field.

It is thought that the first three of Truman's children
were born in Ohio and the other five in Illinois. It is re-
corded that Will was born in Ohio and that Clem was born in
a log house on his grandfather Cyrus' farm - possibly the tenant
house, in 1865. Truman was back in Ohio at that time and also
in 1870 at the time of his father's death. Larusia had died
the year before at age 35. She is buried at Condit, Ohio. In
1871, Truman married Lucretia [underlined] Peters. A copy of her father's
biography follows: Also taken from Baskins 1880 Delaware County
History --
Daniel H. Peters, farmer and stockraiser; P.O. Green,
Licking County, Ohio is a son of William and Sarah
(Bashford) Peters; his father was of English descent,
and born in Maryland; his mother of Irish descent;
her father was from Cork, Ireland. Mr. Peters's father
emigrated to Ohio about 1816, and his grandfather came
to America in 1808, and served awhile in the War of
1812. Mr. Peters was born Jun 26, 1820, in Pickaway
County, Ohio and came to Licking Co., in April, 1822.
Nov. 27, 1842, he was married to Miss R. Iles; she
was born in Licking Co.; they had nine children -
Sarah J., Lucretia, James W. Effie, Oliver, Emma,
William P., Melissa, and Martha. His wife died Oct. 6,
1863; she was a member of the M.E. Church. Daniel
was again married, in 1864, to Mary A., daughter of
Edward and Mary Lake, by whom he had six children;
five living - Rose D., Frank J., Milton H., Mark M.,
William S. and John M who died Nov. 21, 1869. He
(Daniel) lived, after marriage in Licking Co. four
years and then rented his present farm of 124 acres,
which he bought two years afterward. About 1859,
he learned the carpenter's trade, and has thus been
enabled to make his own farm improvements; in 1864, he
commenced dealing in Spanish merino sheep, which he
supplies to those wanting at fair prices; he has
filled his share of the township offices, and is now
a member of the Christian Union Church, as are also
five members of his family. He has served as Supt. of
Sunday School for 25 yrs, and many years as Elder.
This church now has membershp of 100. He is a

Harriett and her husband George Ginn, having only one (at home)
child, Elmine aged 9, took five year old Milo to raise. Mae,
who was eight went to live with a sister of Lucretia's in Mich.
It is not known where Dean, aged 9, stayed, but when he turned 18
he went to Iowa where he settled. So, compassionate relatives
"took in" the children and it was such a commendable thing to do.
Everyone did the best they could but still the family circle was
broken. However the family, though scattered hither and yon,
remained close in spirit and all kept in touch, visiting each as
often as possible. Most of them eventually settled in Central
Ohio. Truman did not set up housekeeping again until Mae was
old enough to keep house for him. He then purchased a place
in Olive Green in 1886. At that time a Doc Foster and Truman
became business partners in a tile mill. All went well until
Doc decided to shoot himself dead in a tile kiln. Just one more
upheaval in Truman's life. He lived to age 78 and died in 1913.
All of his children lived long lives except Nellie, who died
at 35. The others averaged out to over 78; Clem lived to be
the oldest-passing on at age 90 in 1955.
Reading of the trauma that went on in these families' lives
reminds one of Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem:
Rock Me to Sleep
Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight,
Make me a child again, just for tonight!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,
Smooth a few silver threads out of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;--
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
I am so weary of toil and of tears;
Toil without recompense,
Tears all in vain;
Take them, and give me my childhood again!
I have grown weary of dust and decay, -
Weary of flinging my soul wealth away;
Weary of sowing for others to reap; -
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
Elizabeth Akers Allen's poem, "Rock Me to Sleep"
3rd verse
Tired of the follow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, O Mother, my heart calls for you!
Many a summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded, our faces between;
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long I tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and so deep; -
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
Over my heart in the days that are flown,
No love like mother love ever has shown;
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours;
None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul, and the world-weary brain,

Slumber's soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep; -
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
Come let your brown hair, just lighted with gold;
Fall on your shoulders again, as of old;
Let it drop over my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny edged shadows once more,
Happily will throng the sweet visions of yore;
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep; -
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
Mother, dear Mother, the years have been long
Since I last listened your lullaby song;
Sing, then unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only a dream;
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep; -
Rock me to sleep, Mother, - rock me to sleep!
This poem was found in McGuffey's Fifth Reader Revised. It
is familiar to the scholars of that era. Many committed it
to memory.
The data on the Truman Longshore line was supplied mostly by
Harold Longshore, son of Homer, and his mother, Bessie, who
live in Wapello, Iowa. They have come to the Longshore reunions
throughout the years whenever possible and every year recently.
They have contributed greatly to the over-all effort to "keep

Line of Truman Longshore, son of Cyrus continued
_________________________________________________________________
The Longshore train comes back to its Ohio source for a time and visits
with the third son of Truman's, Clem Longshore. Depot - Sunbury, Ohio and
nearby areas.
Clem's three sons all live rural route Sunbury and their children have
about all settled nearby. Clem Longshore was born in Ohio; at age 16, he came
back from Illinois with his family as the result of his stepmother, Lucretia's
death. He lived with his Uncle Warner's family in Trenton twp., Delaware
County and worked on the farm there. Later he purchased the farm and
remained there the rest of his 90 years. The farm is now owned and operated
by his son, Lester, who have lived on it all of his 76 years.
Clem was a slightly built man, rather short in stature. Always in good
humor. He was a devoted husband caring tenderly for his wife Ella, during her invalidism
several years,before her death. He was a widower for 24 years. He
enjoyed traveling. His daughter-in-laws were as fond of him as his sons as he
treated them with respect. His grandchildren adored him. On his 77th birthday
he ice skated on the creek (in February) on his farm (this creek was and still is
the recreational spot for the whole family).
His grandchildren loved to fish but did not want to clean the small fish
so they would give them to Grandpa and he would clean them and fry them
crisp and crunch them, bones and all! Although he visited each of his sons
every day, he never caused any trouble because he never interfered in their
business or took sides in any disagreements. Everyone loved to see him come.
When his Great grandson, Jim, was born, Clem walked out across the
plowed field (in May, 1954) to where his son, John, was working and
announced, "Today I am a rich man" and then told of the birth of his first great
grandson (with the Longshore name). This was when he was 89 and he could
still get excited over the birth of a child!
He enjoyed doing favors for people and many is the time he took
someone to the doctor for regular treatments or took someone on an errand.
He seemed to enjoy his retirement because he could and did make himself
useful.
In his late years, his granddaughter, Betty and her husband, Sam Watts,
lived with Clem keeping house for him and caring for him when he needed it.
His life after age 16was somewhat serene and certainly more settled than his
father Truman's had been.

EZEKIEL BROWN
Ezekiel Brown was born March 13, 1760 in Orange County, New York and died
April 23, 1841, in Delaware County, Ohio at the home of his daughter, Nancy Brown
Leonard. He was married to Jane Smith, Feb. 26, 1786. She was born Sept. 15, 1766 and
died Aug. 19, 1821. In 1808 he came to Berkshire Township and settled on land a little
northeast of where Galena now is. He came from Lycoming County, PA, where he had
been elected to Congress for one or two terms.
In 1776 he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army and joined the forces under
Washington, just after the Battle of Trenton. He participated in several engagements.
Two years later, while on a furlough to visit his home, then in what is now Lycoming
Co., PA, he was unfortunately captured by the Indians. The incidents, as related by his
daughter, Nancy Brown Leonard, are as follows.
There had been numerous Indian alarms and the neighbors had gathered at
Ezekiel's father's house; a strong, hewed log cabin, which was easy of defense. Here
they awaited the onset of the savages, but they did not make the attack when expected.
Instead they kept secreted in the neighborhood for days until the settlers, lulled into a
false sense of security, went into their homes. As soon as the savages saw their plans
succeeding, they rushed in upon the unsuspecting and defenseless settlers, and
commenced their work of butchery. Ezekiel's father, mother, and sister's husband
were ruthlessly murdered, and himself and sister with her seven children were carried
into Indian captivity. The mother was separated from her children, and the children from
each other. Ezekiel was forced to pass through the forms preceding adoption into the
tribe. Three times during the journey to the main town of the Cayugas, near where
Scipio, N.Y. now stands, he was forced to run the gauntlet. The first time, he received a
severe wound from a tomahawk. The second time, less fortunate, he received a terrible
blow from a war club which felled him to the ground in a fearfully mangled condition.
His life seemed ended, but he finally recovered and proceeded with his captors to their
destination, where, after another trial, he passed through the fearful ordeal unharmed and
was adopted by a family who had lost a son in the war. He was afterwards taken to
Canada where he found his sister, and a clue to the whereabouts of her children. He
managed to become employed by a trader and bought his freedom,but the ties of kindred
were too strong for him to leave his sister in captivity. He at once set about securing her
release and that of her children. He had secured all of her seven children but two, when
one boy came up with the Indians and claimed his mother, but she told him she was not
his mother. He had changed so much and was so dirty she could not own him. She asked
him if he had any brothers and he said he had and told their names and said he had an
uncle, Ezekiel. Then she had to own him. They now had all the children but one boy
twelve years old. It was nearing the time when Ezekiel hoped to return to his friends, that
he learned a party of Indians with this boy was about to start for a distant point to hunt. If
this should occur, he despaired of ever seeing the child again, and determined to kidnap
the boy. Calling the Indians into the trader's cabin, he treated them to liquor. When they
became drunk he pushed them out and the boy in, then barred the door and waited the
issue. This treatment was not relished by the savages. The resented it by kicks and more
forcible attacks upon the door. There were no signs of it yielding, so they had to leave
the boy behind. But the lad had become enamored with the wild life of the woods and
longed to be with his Indian friends. One day while out playing he saw his opportunity
and his Uncle Ezekiel saw him running with all his might to regain his friends. With
sinking heart and almost in despair, he started in pursuit. The boy was recaptured and
with the whole family returned in 1783 to their friends in PA., after five years of Indian
captivity. Seven years later, Ezekiel Brown moved to Ohio and in 1808 to Berkshire
Township. Ezekiel Brown was my grandfather and your great grandfather.

EZEKIEL BROWN
Ezekiel Brown was born March 13, 1760 in Orange County, New York and died
April 23, 1841, in Delaware County, Ohio at the home of his daughter, Nancy Brown
Leonard. He was married to Jane Smith, Feb. 26, 1786. She was born Sept. 15, 1766 and
died Aug. 19, 1821. In 1808 he came to Berkshire Township and settled on land a little
northeast of where Galena now is. He came from Lycoming County, PA, where he had
been elected to Congress for one or two terms.
In 1776 he enlisted in the Revolutionary Army and joined the forces under
Washington, just after the Battle of Trenton. He participated in several engagements.
Two years later, while on a furlough to visit his home, then in what is now Lycoming
Co., PA, he was unfortunately captured by the Indians. The incidents, as related by his
daughter, Nancy Brown Leonard, are as follows.
There had been numerous Indian alarms and the neighbors had gathered at
Ezekiel's father's house; a strong, hewed log cabin, which was easy of defense. Here
they awaited the onset of the savages, but they did not make the attack when expected.
Instead they kept secreted in the neighborhood for days until the settlers, lulled into a
false sense of security, went into their homes. As soon as the savages saw their plans
succeeding, they rushed in upon the unsuspecting and defenseless settlers, and
commenced their work of butchery. Ezekiel's father, mother, and sister's husband
were ruthlessly murdered, and himself and sister with her seven children were carried
into Indian captivity. The mother was separated from her children, and the children from
each other. Ezekiel was forced to pass through the forms preceding adoption into the
tribe. Three times during the journey to the main town of the Cayugas, near where
Scipio, N.Y. now stands, he was forced to run the gauntlet. The first time, he received a
severe wound from a tomahawk. The second time, less fortunate, he received a terrible
blow from a war club which felled him to the ground in a fearfully mangled condition.
His life seemed ended, but he finally recovered and proceeded with his captors to their
destination, where, after another trial, he passed through the fearful ordeal unharmed and
was adopted by a family who had lost a son in the war. He was afterwards taken to
Canada where he found his sister, and a clue to the whereabouts of her children. He
managed to become employed by a trader and bought his freedom,but the ties of kindred
were too strong for him to leave his sister in captivity. He at once set about securing her
release and that of her children. He had secured all of her seven children but two, when
one boy came up with the Indians and claimed his mother, but she told him she was not
his mother. He had changed so much and was so dirty she could not own him. She asked
him if he had any brothers and he said he had and told their names and said he had an
uncle, Ezekiel. Then she had to own him. They now had all the children but one boy
twelve years old. It was nearing the time when Ezekiel hoped to return to his friends, that
he learned a party of Indians with this boy was about to start for a distant point to hunt. If
this should occur, he despaired of ever seeing the child again, and determined to kidnap
the boy. Calling the Indians into the trader's cabin, he treated them to liquor. When they
became drunk he pushed them out and the boy in, then barred the door and waited the
issue. This treatment was not relished by the savages. The resented it by kicks and more
forcible attacks upon the door. There were no signs of it yielding, so they had to leave
the boy behind. But the lad had become enamored with the wild life of the woods and
longed to be with his Indian friends. One day while out playing he saw his opportunity
and his Uncle Ezekiel saw him running with all his might to regain his friends. With
sinking heart and almost in despair, he started in pursuit. The boy was recaptured and
with the whole family returned in 1783 to their friends in PA., after five years of Indian
captivity. Seven years later, Ezekiel Brown moved to Ohio and in 1808 to Berkshire
Township. Ezekiel Brown was my grandfather and your great grandfather.

president was Seth Longshore, Secretary Burr Squires. The reunion date later
was changed to the 2nd Sunday in August. (The old-timers frowned on social
activity on Sunday) The reunion has met every year since, making this the 78th
one.
This Reunion has been a large factor in holding the families together,
forming a nucleus, sort of. Although it was always held in central Ohio, since
that is the scene that the emigrators picked way back in 1808; family members
in various years have come from Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota,as well
as distant points in Ohio. For many years, the annual affair was held in
different private homes; then in Galena Park where Charlie Longshore so
faithfully reserved the tables for the picnic; then it met a few times in Mt. Vernon
Municipal Park to be nearer the Mt. Vernon, Marion, and Mansfield contingent,
but for the past 15 or so years, the group has voted to meet in the beautiful
Centerburg Park facilities. It has shelter houses, horseshoe courts, basketball
court, and playground equipment in a lush setting beside a little stream. It has
been a tradition to serve ice cream in the afternoon following the business
meeting. Although everyone is stuffed to the brim with the abundance of good
food these excellent cooks turn out, there is always room made for this extra
treat. In these days of deep freezers, et cetera, ice cream is not the thrill it once
was, but yet the youngsters, who by then have run off their calories, look
forward to this part of the program, and yes, even the oldsters enjoy it!
Speaking of program, most likely everyone present can recall having
taken part in it in one way or another. The program through the years has taken on
every aspect in the entertainment field, and as one One that stands out is
Bob Cline telling us "That's Good; That's Bad" well --- and Jim Longshore's tale
about "No More Squoles". In this annual "talent show" there have been
reminiscences by the senior members; guitar and accordian playing; trios and
quartets; solos; tap dancing; patriotic readings; you name it, we've had it!

Additional Longshore Information
by Judy (Longshore) Campbell
David Longshore (I) lived in Middletown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In
the 1800 Bucks County Census, he is listed with the unmarried men. He
and Elizabeth Weaber were married by Isaac Hicks, J.P. on January 20,
1802 in Middletown Twp., Pennsylvania. Elizabeth is listed as a spinster.
(She was 19). Her name on almost all Genealogical records (including,
LDS records) is Warner. Her mother's maiden name was Warner and I
believe that she took that as her own maiden name after her marriage.
The tombstone of David Longshore says that he came to Ohio in 1806. It
also states that he was 79 years 9 months 8 days old. Later census
records say that he came from Pennsylvania. After his wife Elizabeth
(Warner) died on August 8, 1840 he married Elisabeth (Betsy) Benton on
June 20th 1842. Betsy and her husband lived on a farm next to the
Longshores.
David and his brother, Euclydus bought land together in 1811 and
David lived in the same place the rest of his life.

The Family of David Longshore, Jr.
The 7th child of David (1)
There is more to be told of this family than will be told here. David,
Jr. lived with his parents. The rules by which he would take care of them
in their old age and thereby inherit their land was written in deed form.
After the death of David Sr., David, Jr. sued all his brothers and sisters
for the right to the land. In this suit is evidence that Rachel Squires is a
sister of this Longshore family. David Jr, sues her children, since she was
already dead.
David Jr. served in the Civil War. His records show that he enlisted
at the end of the War so he wasn't in very long. He served with an Ohio
group.
