The Juniata Settlement (Pennsylvania)

The Paxton region was purchased from the Indians and thrown open for
settlement in 1736. This was the land south of the Blue Mountains, near what is now
Harrisburg. A flood of settlers, mostly Scotch-Irish, moved in and rapidly took up
claims for land. Many did not leave a permanent record for they pushed on southwest
into the Cumberland and Shenandoah Valleys. Among the families to come were the
Baskins. The first record is of William (b c1722) who in 1744 joined a group from
Paxton, including Francis Ellis and Thomas McKee, sent to investigate the murder of
John Armstrong, an Indian trader near Mount Union. It is likely that William's
father, probably John, moved to Paxton from Chest Co about 1737. William was in the
colonial militia 1747-48 under Capt. Thomas McKee.
In 1749 the land east of the Susquehanna River and north of the Blue
Mountains was purchased from the Indians. In the 1750-51 tax list for the Narrows
of Paxton Twp, Lancaster (now Dauphin) Co are listed James, William, and Francis
Baskins. (In PA and "s" was added.) They were at the mouth of the Juniata on or
near the two large islands. Francis is listed as a trader. A probable fourth
brother, Thomas, was younger and not married. The complete list of taxables is
given: Widow Murray, Robert Armstrong, John Armstrong, Thomas Gaston, William
Forster, Thomas Clark, John McKennedy, Robert Clark, Thomas Adams, Hulbert Adams,
John Watt, William Baskins, George Well, Francis Glass, George Clark, John
Mecheltree, Francis Baskins (trader), John Clark, James Reed, James English, John
Gevins, James Baskins, Thomas McKee, John Kelton (collector), Charles Williams
(freeman), John Lee (freeman) (trader).
A deed at Harrisburg (1839) recites: "In the latter part of the year 1749
Joseph Thornton, Michael Paxton, George Clark, and Francis Baskins settled and made
improvements upon the Island called the Big Island." William Baskins settled on the
smaller, adjoining, Duncan's Island, and James Baskins on the west shore. In 1733
John Harris and in 1742 Thomas McKee had been Indian Traders on Big Island. In 1745
David Brainard, a missionary, found Conoy Indians living on Big Island. In June 1750
the white settlers on the west side of the Susquehanna were moved out by the
provincial authorities. Yet in January 1767 James Baskins said that he had settled
at the mouth of the Juniata 16 years before -- likely the fall of 1750. When the
Proprietaries had Big Island surveyed Nov 13, 1760, it was known as "Baskins
Island". In 1762 Marcus Hulings drew a map which showed where 12 families lived at
and near the mouth of the Juniata, and on the southern tip of Baskins Island was
marked "Old Conoy Town".
In 1754 the land north of the Blue Mountains and west of the Susquehanna was
purchased from the Indians. At the same time the French expansion led to George
Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity. The defeat of Braddock on July, 1755
loosened the floodgates and in a matter of weeks all had fled to Paxton which was
itself under attack by October.

Indian Wars

Previously the provincial authorities had been reluctant to do anything, but
now troops were authorized and forts were planned. Fort Hunter was already defending
the gap in the Blue Mountains through which the Susquehanna flowed. Another fort a
few miles up the river was planned at Armstrong's (now Halifax, PA). On June 7,
1756 they began to fell timber for the fort which was to be built where there was an
abundance of pine. Two hundred logs, 30 feet long, were squared. On July 1, there
was an officer with 30 men at the fort, called Fort Halifax. William Baskins
supplied 1660 feet of pine boards. The Province paid his estate 6 lb, 12, 0 for
them on April 15, 1757.
Evidently before William Baskins fled in Oct, 1755 to Fort Hunter or Paxton,
he put in a crop of wheat. In July, 1756 he returned to Duncan's Island to try to
harvest it. Indians were rather active, having challenged Fort Granville (now
Lewistown) on July 22. On July 29 the Indians came down the river and killed
William Baskins and took as prisoners his wife Mary, and his children. The next day
Fort Granville was attacked and burned by the French and the Indians. Cumberland
County and Paxton were panic-stricken. On Aug 21 the inhabitants petitioned the
authorities at Philadelphia for help.
Col. John Armstrong marched from Carlisle to Kittanning and defeated the
Indians, relieving some of the pressure. It was not safe to return to the
Juniata. It was necessary to run boats of supplies from Harris' to Fort Augusta
(Sunbury). Among the "battoe men" were Thomas Baskins and Francis Ellis 1757-58, as
well as other neighbors. By the summer of 1761 a few settlers ventured back. By
1762 there were quite a number. Francis Baskins died in the summer of 1761,
probably before he could return. So James Baskins was the only brother left,
although Francis' widow returned to Big Island, and William's widow remarried
(Francis Ellis) and lived nearby.
The outbreak of the Pontiac War in July, 1763 once more drove all the
settlers south of the Blue Mountains. Not until after Bouquet's invasion of Ohio in
the fall of 1764 did the settlers try to return. The situation is summed up in David
Ross' petition regarding Duncan's Island and in Marcus Hulings' letters:
Petition May 5, 1767. When David Ross Ren'd the land of
the Widow Basquin's...all the Buildings and fences was all Burnt, ye Place
lying six or seven years & no Person Living on it, was hard to clear when
Ross came on it as Ever it was. He hired hands & with his own
Industry cleared Fifteen Acres, Fenced it & put Grain in ye Ground, and
Builded a House on said place, and Before he received any Benefit thereof
the Indian War Broke out, he was forced to Fly, Loosing
several of his creatures which he left Behind him. Two years
he worked Day Labour to maintain his family... Needcessity doth not
make Francis Ellis Distress this poor man in the Manner he is agoing to do,
for he and his wife has two Large Farms of their own Besides the
Iand Ross lives on... William Richardson, Saml Goudy, Marcus Hulings,
James Reed, Samuel Cochran, Abraham Jones, Sarah Forster, Thos Forster,
Samuel Hunter. (Egle: Notes & Queries 1881, p 208)

Letters Fort Pitt May 7 & 17, 1762 A Place I
Emproved and lived on one Year and half...till the enemyes in the
beginning of the last Warrs drove me away ...the place called
the Onion bottom... where I lived six months before I moved to the other
place. Marcus Hulings. (Egle: Notes & Queries 1881, p 98)

James Baskins by his location at the mouth of the Juniata had an excellent
place for running a ferry. It is not know when he started it, but it is mentioned
in Jan 1767. A few miles up the Juniata another ferry was run by Andrew Stephen(s)
who may have been a brother-in-law. In 1767 the children of William and Francis
Baskins were living nearby. Two of James Baskins' daughters were married. The
oldest, Catherine Stephens, lived on Big Island.

The Indian Captives

The Pennsylvania Gazette tells us more about the William Baskins family, and
the Virginia papers copied the account. There were five Baskins children: John 11,
Moses 9, Margaret 7, Nancy 5, and a boy 3. The wife, daughter Margaret, and 3 yr
old son were captured. The other children were not with the parents or they escaped.
William's widow, Mary, was released three years later in 1759; Margaret in
1765; the boy was found living near Detroit as Timothy Murphy. The Journal of
George Croghan (PA Mag 71, 352) reads: Sept 19, 1759 Pittsburgh -- Delawares
delivered me "Mary Baskins and two white boys". This was the widow. The records of
Col. Henry Bouquet list Nov 15, 1764 -- Peggy Baskin "taken from the English Camp at
the forks of the Muskingum to Fort Pitt". This was daughter Margaret.
There are four accounts of William Baskins' death:
1. The Pennsylvania Gazette. Thursday, Aug 5, 1756.
"We have Advice from Cumberland County, that on the 22d ult about 60 Indians
appeared before Fort Granville, and challenged the Commander of it to come out and
fight them; but that he being but weak-handed, did not think proper to accept of the
Challenge; that they fired at, and wounded, one of the Men that belonged to the Fort
in the Thigh, who happened to be a little Way from it, but not so badly but that he
got safe in; that they lurked about the Place for some Time, expecting to catch some
of our People, but they being upon their Guard, were disappointed; and that then they
went off, after shooting down all the Cattle they could find.
"We hear further from the same Place, that on Thursday last twelve Indians
(Part of those that were at Fort Granville) went to the Plantation of one Baskins,
near Juniata, whom they murdered in a cruel Manner, burnt his House, and carried off
his Wife and Children; That one Hugh Carroll and Family were made Prisoners about the
same time by some Indians, who asked Carroll a great many Questions, particularly
with respect to the Strength of Harris's, Hunter's and McKee's Forts; and said they
would soon shew him a great Number of French and Indians, who, they told him, were
coming down to fall upon this Province; but that he, notwithstanding they thought
they had tied him very securely, made Shift to untie himself in the Night, and made
his Escape."
This dates it as July 29, 1756. Letters of administration in Cumberland County were
issued to James Baskins and Arthur Forster in the William Baskins estate on Aug 28,
1756.
2. Rupp's History of Dauphin and other Cos, 1846, p 338 as reported by Michael
Steever.
"At one time when Mr. William Baskins, granduncle to Cornelius and James
Baskins, having a crop of grain on what is now called Duncan's Island (having
however previously removed his family to Fort Hunter for security) returned with
part of his family to cut the grain; and while engaged, all on a sudden they were
startled by a yell or whooping of Indians, who were hard by; however, on discovering
they were neighbors, their alarms were quieted; but, alas! they were deceived; for
the barbarous savages, as soon as near enough, gave them to distinctly understand
that their object was their scalps! At this moment they all fled in consternation
hotly pursued, towards the house, and when there, Mr. Baskins, in the act of getting
his gun, was shot dead and scalped; his wife, a daughter of about seven, and a son
three years old were abducted.
"Mrs. Baskins affected her escape from the Indians somewhere near Carlisle;
the daughter was taken to the Miami country, west of the Ohio, then an unbroken
wilderness, where she was detained for more than six years, when in conformity to a
treaty made with the Indians, she was delivered up, and returned. She was
afterwards married to Mr. John Smith, whose son James is now residing in Newport,
Perry County, and to whom I am indebted for this interesting tradition. The lad who
was taken at the same time was carried to Canada, where he was raised by Sir William
Johnson, not knowing the name of the boy, when he was baptized by a missionary was
named Timothy Murphy. He was afterwards discovered by Alexander Stephens, Mr. James
Stephens' father, who resides in Juniata Township, Perry County, by some peculiar
mark on his head. He has visited his friends in Perry. James Smith, his nephew,
when at Canada in defense of his country, during the late war (1812), visited him
and found him comfortably situated near Malden in Upper Canada (Ontario), and the
owner of a large estate."
3. James Smith's daughter, Isabella, was born Feb 16, 1814. On Jan 29, 1898, she
wrote:
"Our grandmother was taken prisoner by the Indians, when seven years old,
was 14 when they got her back. Her brother was five years old, him they never
got. Their name was Baskins. Rachel Finley was her first husband's child. She was
a half-sister to your mother and my father. Agnes was Mitchell's girls mother. Mary
was your mother's name. Rachel died a maiden lady...John Smith was the youngest
brother, lived with his brother, James...in Lewistown."
4. Account given by William Baskins (b 1826) in IA in 1914, as told by his
grandfather, George Baskins (1761 - 1852), a nephew of William d 1756. In error
William of IA thought it was George's father, rather than uncle.
"When a small boy he and his brother who was almost a young man went early
one morning into the woods to hunt for their horses. Their mother had been called
to attend to a sick neighbor the night before and took the baby, a little girl, with
her. The boys heard shots fired and crept to the edge of the clearing to see their
father and the other children dragged out by Indians. All but one or two children
were killed and these were carried away captive. Their home was burned. The boys
hid in the brush and so escaped."
Women did not remain widows long on the frontier. About 1760 Mary Baskins
remarried -- a man named Findley. A William Findley is listed in William Baskins'
estate. Daughter Margaret also married (first) a Findley. Mary's second husband
must have died during the Pontiac War for on Jun 20, 1765 Mary Baskins Findley
married Francis Ellis. In 1767 the wife of Francis Ellis is called the former Widow
Baskins. In 1771 James Baskins, administrator of the William Baskins estate, entered
a judgment against Francis and Mary Ellis. Francis Ellis had a grandson, Robert
Findley Ellis. Mary died before 1784.
Mary Baskins' oldest son, John, while on an expedition to the KY-TN area,
was taken prisoner by the Kicapoos in IL in July, 1768. He was taken to Detroit and
later got to Fort Pitt. In 1774 he was in SC and in the 1780's in TN.
John Baskins, whose father was killed in 1756, was captured by the Indians
in 1768. The account is from unpublished papers in the Archives of Pennsylvania.
"Samuel Black and John Baskins -- Account of Indians when Prisoners. Monday
Evening the 26 Sept 1768 about six o'clock Saml Black and John Baskins arrived here
(Fort Pitt?) via Detroit and inform as follows viz: That having been in Company
with John Higgins and Eleven other Men in a large Bateau about 300 miles up the
Shawney River on or about the 28th of Jun they two set off about Ten Miles further
up the said River to choose proper Hunting Ground where they continued Five days and
then returned to the Place where they had left the boat and found four dead Bodies of
Men lying at the place whom they judged to be Danl Kennedy, Jas Wethen, Frederick
Myer, and John Giles. They then descended the River about 40 miles to a place where
they had left come Corn and Salt and there found a letter from Joseph Hollinshead
dated the 2d July ordering any man belonging to any of the Boats that were tout to
follow him to the Ohio whence he would delay some time. In consequence of which
they effected in 5 days the Shawney and Ohio Rivers till they reached the Cherokee
Fort which they effected in 5 days without overtaking Mr. Hollinshead or any other
boat. From the Cherokees Fort they set off for Fort Chartres but on the second day
were attacked & taken prisoners by a party of Thirty Kicapoos who carried them to
Detroit which they reached the 1st of August."
Notes: Shawney = Cumberland River; Fort Chartres = 12 mi north of Kaskaskia, Ill;
Cherokee Fort = on Ohio south of mouth of Cumberland; Black, Higgin, and Myers
appear on SC records.
This John Baskins, son of Williams, was a blacksmith in District 96, SC, in
1774 as shown by a deed at Carlisle, PA. He had cousins in this part of SC. During
the Revolution, John lived in Washington Co, TN (then NC). He is listed in court
records in 1781, 1782, & 1784. On July 12, 1783, the commissioners paid him for
Revolutionary services -- three payments totaling 16 lb, 11,8. That year he was
granted 173 acres on Onion Branch of Little Limestone Creek. He likely moved south,
for in 1791 his name is in Green Co, TN records. Here he married (secondly) Mary
Middleton on Dec 7, 1790. John was in Sevier Co in 1799; his widow was in Roane Co
1805. There is a Baskins Creek at Gatlinburg, TN. John's cousin, Susannah Baskins
Gray, lost her husband in 1781, when the Indians killed him in what is now Greene
Co, PA.
The two other children of William who were not captured by the Indians
were: Moses who died in 1777, and Nancy (Ann) whose husband died in 1777 while
serving as a Revolutionary Captain.

The Revolution

The Revolution was fought in far-away Quebec, in Massachusetts, and in New
York until July, 1777, when the Indian attacks moved close and every able-bodied man
was called into the militia. In the first group, who fought the British, were: 1776
William Baskins, Gilbert McCoy, and Thomas McCoy, who marched under Capt. Robert
Adams to Quebec, where Thomas was taken prisoner; 1777 Capt. Joseph Martin, who died
on a tour of duty.
In the second group, who fought the Indians, were: 1778 Capt. Thomas Clark:
Mitchell Baskins; 1778-79 Capt. James Clark: Isaiah Jones; 1779 Capt. Gilbert McCoy:
Mitchell Baskins, John Diven, John Smith; 1780 Capt. Matthew McCoy: Mitchell
Baskins, Cornelius Atkinson, Alexander Stephens; 1781-82 Capt. John Buchanan: John
Diven; Lt. Beatty: Mitchell Baskins, Corneluis Atkinson, John Smith, Alexander
Stephens; 1782 Capt. William Johnston: Henry Dougherty, William Baskins, John
Diven, Isaiah Jones. This group protected the settlements against Indian attacks.
Troops were stationed mainly in Northumberland, Union, Centre, and Huntindon Co.
Practically all the Baskins and the sons-in-law (listed above) were in the Service.
David Gray was in Capt. James Archer's militia company (now Greene Co, PA)
in 1782. John Baskins, son of William, served in Washington Co, TN. In later PA
militia are listed: 1786 William Baskins; 1793 Thomas Baskins, Mitchell Baskins.

Migrations

The influx of settlers into Pennsylvania put pressure on the authorities to
make more land available. The New Purchase made available in 1769 land to the
north, up the Susquehanna, in what became Northumberland Co in 1772. In 1770
Alexander Stephens, Isaiah Jones, Cornelius Atkinson, and others moved up to Turbot
Twp. Here James Baskins entered a claim for land in 1774. In the meantime,
William's oldest son, John, had gone to SC and two of Francis' daughters, Mary and
Susannah, went to southwestern PA about 1777. The estate of William Baskins was not
settled until 1770; children named were: John, Moses, Margaret, and Ann. Frances'
children were: William, Margaret, George, Mary, and Susannah.. In the summer of
1778 Indian attacks drove Stephens, Jones, and Atkinson back to the mouth of the
Juniata. Later Jones returned north.
In 1786 Alexander Stephens left for Georgia. In 1788 James Baskins died;
his will named four daughters and two sons, Mitchell and Francis, the latter an
invalid. By 1790 the only Baskins left were Mitchell and Francis' son, William.
George had joined his sisters in what is now Greene Co, PA. Robert, Thomas and John
Baskin (no s) were new arrivals near the mouth of the Juniata, coming from Ireland.
In 1793-94 Capt. John Diven had a company of 32 riflemen in the Dauphin Co militia
"who marched against the western insurgents from Dauphin Co in the autumn of
1794". George Clark was lieutenant; Gilbert McCoy and Cronelius Atkinson were
privates.
William Baskins and John Diven (who married Margaret Baskins) were
dispossessed of their land on Baskins Island and moved to Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen,
NY in 1802. This scattered the last of Francis' family. His widow had died about
1786. Of James' family, Elizabeth McCoy and Sarah Dougherty remained. The Jones'
moved north, first to Tioga Point, PA, then to Lindley, NY. In 1825 Jane Jones
lived with her son, William B Jones, in Addison, NY.
In 1813 Andrew B. Stephens came north from Georgia to visit his relatives.
He saw where Mitchell (who died in 1809) and James Baskins lay buried in the
Baskinsville graveyard (now Duncannon, PA). He visited Cousin Keziah Martin
(daughter of Corneluis Atkinson), Cousin Nehemiah Kilgore of Path Valley and Cousin
James Kilgore. Andrew B. wrote home to GA in April; in June he was a witness to
some Garrett deeds for his brother, James. Two of Mitchell Baskins's sons married
and lived nearby: James and Cornelius. The Baskins ferry was run first by James,
Sr., then Mitchell, and lastly Cornelius Baskins. A bridge had been built in 1839
so the ferry had been abandoned, but in 1865 a flood swept it away, and Cornelius
Baskins reopened the ferry, contributing to the Union war effort.
In the latter part of the 1770's a large westward movement carried many from
central and eastern PA over the mountains into southwestern PA, now Fayette, Greene,
and Washington Co. To the region now known as Richhill Twp, Greene, Co, went Mary
and Susannah, daughters of Francis Baskins, with their husbands, David and Matthew
Gray. This was before 1779. Where they settled is now know as Graysville. In 1780
they fled to Fort Jackson (Waynesburg) during an Indian uprising. While here Matthew
ventured to return to his farm, but was ambushed and killed by Indians on Mar 9,
1781. David Gray served under Cap. James Archer in 1782.
About 1790 George Baskins moved from Baskins Island at the mouth of the
Juniata to Richhill Twp, joining his sisters. About 1795 he married Rachel,
daughter of Francis Braddock. About the same time some of the Atkinsons and
Stephens came west. James, Charles, and William Atkinson were sons of the pioneer
Cornelius. Charles had married Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew Stephen (no s) (Rye
Twp 1763+). Andrew Stephen and family came west over the mountains. There were at
least four sons: Alexander, Andrew, Elijah, and John. Andrew Sr. died in 1798.
In the Washington Co militia in 1794, a number of Atkinsons and Stephens and
sons-in-law were in service under Capt. James Seal. About 1799 the Atkinsons and
Stephens moved west to Monroe Co, Ohio. Cornelius had married Mary Cross in 1758 in
Cumberland Co, PA, and they had eleven children. Their daughter Margaret married
Mitchell Baskins about 1788. In 1824 George Baskins, his four sons and son-in-law,
James Kerr, settled in North Bloomfield Twp, Morrow Co, OH. (Warren G. Harding was
born in the Twp in 1865.) George Baskins and wife Rachel are buried at Ebenezer
United Methodist Church, 4 1/2 miles south of Galion, OH. The sons moved to IA.
There are Baskin(s) Creeks in Bremer Co, IA, in Kershaw and Lancaster Co, SC, and in
Gatlinburg, TN. The Baskins pioneered in a number of states: PA, VA, SC, TN, HY,
OH, GA, IA, and others.

Baskins Families

JAMES BASKINS 1750 settled at Juniata; 1756 adm estate of William Baskins; 1761 adm
estate of Francis Baskins; 1762 on Marcus Hulings map; 1763-1788 on tax lists; 1766
warranted land; 1767 ferryman; 1774 land Northumberland Co, PA; 1780 April court;
1787 witness to deed; 1788 Jan 13 will written; 1788 Feb 11 will probated; buried in
Baskinsville (Duncannon) cemetery.
Of the three brothers James is best known. He was married about 1743. In
1750 he was on the tax list for the Narrows of Paxton. In Feb 1767 he stated that
he had been living for 16 years at the mouth of the Juniata. In 1756 he
administered William's estate; in 1761 Frances', On Dec16, 1766 he bought 100 acres
of land opposite Duncan's Island from John Reed. He received an order for 100 acres
back of the Reed tract on Oct 18, 1766. It was surveyed as 177 acres. He had a
ferry running in Jan 1767 when a petition was presented to Cumberland Co court for a
road from Baskins' ferry on Susquehanna to Andrew Stephen's ferry on Juniata, via
Frederick Watts' narrows. James' name is on tax lists beginning in 1763. When the
New Purchase was opened in 1769 James Baskins followed in 1774 with an application
for land on the north side of the Chillisquaque Middle West Branch, now Turbot Twp,
Northumberland Co. The Revolution changed his plans.
James Baskins likely attended the Dick's Gap Presbyterian church. His will
was written Jan 13, 1788 and probated Feb 11, 1788. The executors were Frederick
Watts, David Watts, & Mitchell Baskins. Witnesses were Patrick Martin, Corneluis
Atkinson, Jr, and David Watts. The will mentions daughters Elizabeth McCoy,
Catherine Stephens, Sarah Dougherty, and Jane Jones; wife Elizabeth; sons Mitchell
and Francis. Mitchell received most of the estate "subject to the maintenance of
son Francis for life". Francis, likely an invalid, died in a few years. On Jun 26,
1792 Samuel Goudy was made administrator of the estate of Elizabeth, widow of
James. She died at Goudy's house; he may have been a relative -- possibly a brother.
The inventory of James Baskins' estate shows that he was fairly
well-to-do. His stock numbered 44. In his kitchen he had 7 queensware plates. He
had an indentured servant and an apprentice. There was a ferrying flat and a
canoe. The land soon disappeared, sold by the sheriff. The settlement where James
lived was called Baskinsville (now Duncannon). He is buried on the bluff above.
His grandson, Andrew B. Stephens, wrote in 1813: I saw Aunt Baskins, Uncle
Mitchell's widow, and family, who are living about 2 miles from grandfather's old
ferry. She pointed to the place where he (Mitchell) slept alongside his father.
Land records. 1766 Aug 2 James applied for 200 acres at mouth of Juniata;
1766 Oct 28 order for 300 acres; 1766 Nov 24 caveat vs Joseph Boude; 1766 Dec 16
bought 100 acres from John Reed; 1767 Feb 24 living on land 16 years; 1770 Alexander
Stephens' land adjoined James Baskins; 1774 applied for land at head of Sinking
Spring forks in Northumberland Co.

MITCHELL BASKINS (son of James) 1778-82 in Revolution; 1780-87 taxed as freeman;
1788 in will and deed; 1790's land sold by sheriff; 1790 Census 2-1-1; 1793 militia,
1800 Census four sons, one daughter; 1809 Apr 10 died at Baskinsville. Tombstone
reads "Mitchell Baskins died Apr 10, 1809 aged 54 years, 6 months, 4 days." His
wife's reads "Margaret Baskins died Dec 9, 1814, aged 45 years, 5 months, 4 days".
Soon after the death of his father, Mitchell married Margaret who was likely the
daughter of Cornelius Atkinson, a neighbor. Their first son, James, was born Nov 9,
1789. In 1804 Mitchell Baskins helped to found the Presbyterian Church at
Duncannon. His inherited land was sold by the sheriff and taken by Frederick and
David Watts. The only Baskins left around by then were Mitchell and Robert, who
came from Ireland.

WILLIAM BASKINS 1744 on expedition; 17477-48 in militia; 1750 taxed Narrows; 1756
supplied boards to Fort Halifax; 1756 Jul 29 killed by Indians; 1762 widow listed on
Marcus Hulings map; 1766 land to heirs; 1770 settlement of estate.
William first appears on Apr 19, 1744 on the list of men who searched for
and investigated the murder of John Armstrong, and Indian trader. He was then and
likely had been living in Paxton for some time. In 1747-48 he was a member of the
militia. In 150 he appeared on the first list for the Narrows of Paxton. William
settled on the lower end of Duncan's Island, with Francis on the Big Island to the
east, and James on the Juniata shore to the west. All three were surely brothers.
In the fall of 1755 William with the others fled to Fort Hunter, but until not until
he had planted a crop of wheat on the island (this story previously related in
detail). He had also staked out claims up the Juniata River and on Little Juniata
Creek. He had improved the former and evidently considered himself a resident of
Cumberland Co.
The spring of 1756 saw the start of the erection of Fort Halifax. William
supplied 1660 feet of pine boards for the fort. It was completed in July. As
stated earlier, he was killed by what he thought were friendly Indians. His estate
was probated in Cumberland Co with James as administrator. The bond was issued to
James Baskins and Arthur Forster Aug 28, 1756. The 1762 Marcus Hu

William Braddock's wife was Nancy Cather, according to her tombstone in
Bladendburg Cem, Knox Co. OH. She was born July 3, 1798, probably in PA,
and died Feb 5, 1833 in Knox Co, OH. Her parents, as listed on her
tombstone were William Cather (no "s") and Nancy A. William is believed
to have had a previous wife, as Nancy would have been too young to be
the mother of his oldest children. A Margaret Cather, probably her
sister, was the second wife of John Braddock, William's brother. John is
found in the 1830 census in Washington Twp, Marion Co, OH. I have been
unable to identify William's first wife. If Mary was born in 1802, she
would only be 12 when William's oldest daughter Elizabeth was born

DAVID BRADDOCK is one of the esteemed citizens, prosperous men, and able Justices of the Peace of South Branch Precinct. His home is upon section 24, and stands upon a farm of 160 acres. His father, Marton Braddock, was born in Knox County, Ohio, in the year 1823, and was there an extensive land-owner and successful farmer. His wife, Delilah (Lepley) Braddock, was born near the same place in 1828.
The great-grandfather of our subject came from England, and settled in Virginia in Colonial days, and served under Gen. Washington in the Revolutionary War, being one of the first to enter, and continuing until the end of the chapter. His son William, the grandfather of our subject, was born in Virginia, and continued there throughout his life.
The father of our subject moved with his family from Ohio to Mahaska, Iowa, in the year 1850, and staid for eighteen months, and was one of the pioneers. At the end of that period he removed to Marshall County in the same State, and in the spring of 1852 entered 160 acres of land, and is a wealthy citizen, now owning 400 acres of well-stocked and finely improved land. His dwelling cost him $8,000, and all the other buildings in proportion. He is a well-informed citizen, and sustains a reputation for liberality. His family circle includes eleven children, whose names are as follows: David, John, Mary, Martha, William, Anginora, Lizzie, James F., Harvey T., Anna and Edward.
The subject of our sketch was born in Knox County, Ohio, on the 3d of June, 1850. With his father he went to Iowa upon his removal to that State, and continued to live with his parents until he attained his majority. He attended the classes of his school of the district, and also took a course of instruction at Albion Seminary in 1871 and 1872. In 1874 he took a trip across the plains, through Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Colorado and Iowa, and then began farming near his old home, continuing the same until 1879. Then he came to this county, and located upon the farm he now occupies. The ground was entirely unimproved, and in a thoroughly native condition. His residence and farm buildings are worthy of mention, the groves of shade and forest trees cover seven acres, the orchard comprising about 230 excellent bearing trees, besides numerous other works and improvements.
While a resident of Marietta, Iowa, Mr, Braddock was joined in matrimony with Dora M. Ritenour on the 27th of February, 1879. This lady is the daughter of William and Daphna M. Taft, who were natives, of Vermont and Ohio respectively, and were married in the latter State. Her father was by occupation a farmer, and at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted from Ohio, and died at Murfreesboro, Tenn. Her mother is now living in Lincoln County, Neb. She is the mother of four children -- Vestina, Willis, George and Dora. The latter was born on the 28th of April, 1863, in Knox County, Ohio. There have been born to Mr, and Mrs. Braddock four children -- Jennessie, William H., John and Odessa. Mrs. Braddock is a member of the Christian Church, but usually attends that of the Presbyterian persuasion, as being more convenient to her home. Mr. and Mrs. B. are everywhere much esteemed asworthy members of society. Our subject is a member of the K. of P., and usually attends the lodge at Syracuse. He is a Democrat stanch and true, heartily supporting the principles and ticket of the party. For eight years he was a member of the School Board, and since January last has filled the chair of Justice of the Peace.

Notes for WILLIAM A. BRADDOCK:
Resided 1909 & 1915 in Chadron, Dawes Co, NE.

1850 Knox Co, OH census shows him as 1 month old.

WILLIAM BRADDOCK, deceased, pioneer and one of the most prominent figures in the development and settlement of Dawes county, was for years one of the best known ranchmen and cattle breeders in western Nebraska, where he gained a high reputation for his introduction of thoroughbred cattle, being one of the first men in this section to realize that well bred stock paid the best. He won marked success with the able assistance of his wife who for years was the one whom he consulted in business matters.
Mr. Braddock was born December 26, 1858, near Marshalltown, Iowa, the son of Martin and Deliah (Lepley) Braddock both natives of Knox county, Ohio, the father being of English and the mother of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. William was the fifth child in a family of eleven children, consisting of six boys and five girls. His father moved to Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1850, and homesteaded the farm where he lived the rest of his life. William was reared in the country, and worked on the farm in his younger days so that his school privileges were limited, but he came of stock that was thrifty and industrious and laid the foundation in his youth for the great accomplishments of after years. The school that taught him most was that of experience and he learned well. He first earned money as a young boy and early learned its value. Mr. Braddock remained at home most of the time until the. fall of 1884. He had already heard of the great opportunities open for a young man with grit and energy in the western part of Nebraska and came that year by rail to Valentine, the end of the road at the time, then joined a company of freighters to go the rest of the way. They reached Beaver valley on Thanksgiving day and Mr. Braddock often spoke of that memorable day and the beautiful appearance of the valley. He took a pre-emption at once which is still the property of his widow and heirs. As soon as possible Mr. Broddock built a dugout on his claim and prepared to pass the winter of 1884-95. In the spring he went over onto Bordeaux creek to get lumber for some building as there was a small saw mill then owned by G. W. Messenger. The distance was only about twelve miles but on the trip a hard snow storm came up and covered all the landmarks so that Mr. Braddock became lost and wandered in the white waste for two days before finding his dugout. That was a hard winter as the snow was the deepest ever known in this section and it laid three feet on a level from December to spring. One of the amusing experiences told by Mr. Braddock was of his winter in the dugout. He was lonely as neighbors were far apart and few and he did not trust the few prowling Indians as he believed they resented the settlers coming in and taking their hunting grounds, though they lived on a reservation. He spent many wakeful nights and heard many queer noises and after weeks of anxiety found that some sand mice had been carrying corn from his supplies up to a human skull that he had found on the prairie and kept on a shelf. After that he slept better. With the spring Mr. Braddock broke some of his land and farmed a little, took up a homestead and later a tree claim. The tree claim was some distance from his other land and he found it impractible (sic) to handle and finally sold it, that being the only piece of land of which he disposed in his many years of ranch life. As soon as he made a little money Mr. Braddock would buy some cattle brand them and turn them out on the range. In the fall he would join in the round up with the large cattle owners and bring his cattle back to the home range. He kept doing this year after year until he had a large herd.
March 28, 1899, Mr. Braddock married Miss Julia Anna Jacobson, who was born near Nevada, Iowa, the daughter of John H. and Dora (Tow) Jacobson, both of Scandinavian descent. in the spring of 1885, the Jacobsen family came to Sheridan county, Nebraska, and took a pre-emption northwest of Rushville, seven miles, where they lived twenty years then moved near Mullen, Hooker county and continued in the ranch business. Mrs. Braddock went through the common schools and was teaching at the age of sixteen. Later she attended the Rushville high school. She received only twenty-five dollars a month but invested what money she could in calves each year and when she was married added twenty head of fine cows to her husband's large herd. Of this accomplishment she was justly proud. After her marriage they worked harder than ever as both she and her husband toiled early and late. They attained a remarkable success however, and she feels that they were well repaid, as at one time they had twenty-five hundred head of cattle before the free range was done away with. After that the owners sold many cattle and kept smaller herds. Mr. Braddock was one of the first men to see far ahead and realize that irrigation was to be the great thing in western Nebraska and built nine miles of ditches on his ranch, as he had the priority water rights from Beaver creek along which his land streched (sic) for fourteen miles. His entire ranch is fenced with four wires and cross fenced with posts every rod so that that (sic) his improvements were some of the best in the west. The Braddock ranch has five hundred acres of alfalfa which is usually cut three times a season, two hundred acres are native wheat grass meadow which usually cuts three hundred tons of hay per year, and the ranch is one of the best located and most beautiful in the state, lying in the beautiful Beaver and White river valleys. It stands as an enduring monument to the man and woman who spent so many years of their life here, reclaiming the virgin prairie to productive farm purposes. In 1908, Mr. Braddock bought his first registered Herefords, gradually worked out of grades and into pure bred cattle. At the heighth (sic) of his career he died, January 7, 1917, a great loss to his community and mourned by all who knew him.


Notes for JULIA ANNA JACOBSON:

They attained a remarkable success however, and she feels that they were well repaid, as at one time they had twenty-five hundred head of cattle before the free range was done away with

After her husband's death, Mrs. Branddock (sic) with undaunted courage assumed the full control of her husband's business and has made an enviable record as a business woman in the northwestern country where she is widely and well known. Her large herd of Anexiety 4th cattle, some seven hundred in number, are said to be the finest in the country by experienced cattle men who are breeders themselves. Mrs. Braddock had the honor of having the first show herd of this kind of cattle exhibited at a National Stock Show, from Dawes county and the county boasts that it has more pure bred white faces than in any territory of its size in the United States. Mrs. Braddock exhibited at the Denver Cattle Show of January, 1921, where she won a premium on every animal exhibited. This in competition with veteran breeders who have been showing cattle for many years, a rather unusual honor for a woman. When asked by a friend, "Mrs. Braddock, were you not surprised?" She replied, "No, this was not thought out or accomplished in a day. Many months of careful watching of the development of different individuals are necessary in the selection of a show animal, and I have made an intensive study of the various types of beef cattle for several years. Right now I am planning and preparing for the 1922 shows."
Mrs. Braddock is a woman of high culture and refinement as she has studied these many years in spite of the trials and hardships she endured on the ranch in the early days. She has two cultured daughters, Gladys Enid, who after graduating from the Chadron State Normal School, in Chadron attended the Nebraska State University, at Lincoln and is now attending the University of Chicago, and Wilma Doris, who is in the ninth grade of the normal school at Chadron. Mrs. Braddock has a beautiful home in Chadron and now lives surrounded by all the luxuries and comforts that wealth and culture can afford but she says that wealth is not all in life to live for and is desirous of assisting in the farther development and improvement of Dawes county where she has played an important part in stock raising and agriculture. She stands high in the community respected by her business associates and loved by the many old friends. Few women have been able to take up such a large business enterprise and make the success that she has.

no Christian. H.T. Braddock's obituary lists a surviving sister
Christine, living in Long Beach CA. The 1930 census lists an Anna C.

beginning to think Anna C is Anna Christine, and that there is only one
person, not two. Do your records shed any light on it.
