--------
Among these early settlers on the Plumstead side of the Tohickon about 1735, was Samuel Hart and his family, consisting of wife and nine children, the eldest of whom, James, was born in the year 1717, and the second son William was probably three or more years younger. Samuel Hart obtained a warrant of survey for 100 acres of land on March 9, 1737, and settled thereon. Ten years later in 1747 when the first clouds of war appeared on the horizon, companies were formed in the several townships for the defense of the frontiers. The Plumstead company had for its captain the veteran Charles Stewart, lieutenant, James Hart, and ensign, William Hart, both of the latter being ancestors of the subjects of this sketch through the marriage of a grandson of the latter with a granddaughter of the former many years later. Across the Tohickon in Tinicum the captain of the company was James McGlaughlin, who had married Mary, the eldest sister of the Hart brothers, and the lieutenant was James Davies, whose son William was a brother-in-law to them, all three having married daughters of William Means or Main, a neighbor and compatriot. Samuel Hart, the elder, died in April, 1750, devising his plantation to his sons James and William. His other children than the three above mentioned were: Joseph, John, Jean, who married Samuel Mathers and removed to North Carolina, Elinor, Samuel and Elizabeth.

HENRY SIMONS. Pioneer farmer, was a native of Bradford County,
Pennsylvania. His father, Adrial Simons, was born April 9, 1792, and died
February 26, 1876; his mother, Patsy (Merit) Simons, was born September 30,
1795, and died March 21, 1863. Henry Simons was persevering, industrious
and thrifty, and at the time of his death, March 31, 1902, owned one
hundred and sixty-five acres of good land. In politics he was a Republican.
he was a member of the New Light Church, and did much in the early days of
the Township, toward the organization and establishment of this
denomination. The influence of Henry Simons in his neighborhood was always
exerted for the best interests, both material and moral, of the community.

SIMONS FAMILY
(By John H. Simons)

My father, Henry Simons, was born in Bradford County, Pennsylvania,
May 15, 1815. He moved, with his father, about the year 1819, to Darke
County, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. In the summer of 1837, probably
July, he started West, on foot, to find some place to locate, where he
could make himself a home for the future. He walked to Grant County, where,
after spending some time looking for a location, he found eighty acres in
Section 36, Fairmount Township, which had not been taken of the Government.
Most of the land at that time which was thought to be of much account had
been entered or bought by people hunting for homes. It was so wet and
swampy that it was supposed to nearly worthless for agricultural purposes.

After getting the description of the eighty acres, he started on
foot to the Land Office at Ft. Wayne. He went north through the wilderness,
traversing Grant and Huntington Counties, striking the canal at Lagro or
Huntington, after which he walked along the towpath used for the mules and
hoses pulling the canal boats. These boats conveyed the products of the
settlers to market, and bringing back such things as they could use. It
took about three days to make the trip from southern Grant County to Ft.
Wayne. Father said he never suffered from thirst more than he did while
walking on the towpath on his way to Ft. Wayne. There was plenty of water
in the canal, but it was not fit to drink, and the settlements, where he
could get a drink, were a great ways apart. After reaching Ft. Wayne, he
found the Land Office and closed up the deal for the eighty acres. He left
as payment for the land $100 in gold, which he had carried all the way on
his trip from Ohio. After his purchase was made, he started on the return
trip to Grant County, covering practically the same ground. Reaching the
farm, he put out a deadening, after which he returned to Ohio to earn money
and prepare to move to his newly acquired possessions.

By the summer of 1840 he was prepared go go West, he having
previously married Phebe Thomas, who set out with him for Fairmount
Township. Their mode of travel was by horses and wagon. They brought all of
their possessions with them. They arrived at the home of their uncle,
Bingham Simons, who lived a mile north, in the edge of Jefferson Township.

Leaving their goods at the home of their uncle, with the help of
the early settlers he set out to cut logs and build a house in which to
move his belongings. After three or four days they had logs cut and the
house built and a door cut through the wall. Then they were ready to move
into their own home. They were obliged to prop up clapboards to close the
doorway at night while they slept, the wolves howling on the outside of
their cabin.
To Henry and Phebe (Thomas) Simons were born six children, five
sons and one daughter, namely, Jonathan, Martha Ann, Ransom Ellis, William
and Adrial. One infant child was buried in the Fankboner Graveyard in 1841.
Three others died of scarlet fever within one month of each other. William
and Adrial Simons are still living. William resides in Fairmount and Adrial
lives on his farm near the old home.

Phebe Simons was born in 1820 and died February 3, 1852.
In February, 1854, Henry Simons was united in marriage to Elizabeth
Ann (Walker) Parrill. To this union were born seven children, five sons and
two daughters, four of whom are living, namely, John H. Simons, Levi P.
Simons, Mata M. Buller, and D. Wilson Simons, Morris, Arthur, Walker and a
daughter having passed away in infancy.er buller, own the eighty acres
bought of the Government by my father. There never has been but the one
transfer made -the conveyance to Oliver and Mata Buller.

Elizabeth (Parrill) Simons died on March 29, 1899.
Henry Simons died March 31, 1902. He was the grandfather of
twenty-three children, seventeen still living. Donna Jean Simons, first
great-grandchild, daughter of Harry L. and Jessie Simons, was born on his
one hundredth anniversary.

My great-grandfather, Adrial Simons, was a soldier in the
Revolutionary War.

One of the first churches, if not the first, organized in the east
end of the Township was organized at my father's house in 1842. Among some
of the old records I have in my possession I find the following:
"September the 26, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and forty-two. We this day at Henry Simons', unite ourselves
together as a branch of the Christian Church to take the Holy Scriptures as
our only rule of faith and practice, as we have hereunto set our names.

This organization was called Barren Creek Christian Church.

They built a log church on my father's farm soon after this organization. The
pews were made by taking logs and splitting them and then they were hewn
off smooth on the flat side, then a hole bored on the rounding side and
wooden legs put in. They were then turned over and set in position ready
for occupancy. This organization was kept up for a number of years, until
better churches were built in the country nearby. Then the organization was
abandoned, but the old log church stood near a half century.

1527 The Premature Death of Elizabeth Underwood

The New England Historical and Genealogical Register Vol. 126 July 1972 No. 3 pp. 157-160, "The Premature 'Death' of Elizabeth (Underwood) Cutler by Leland G. Darrow of Belmont, Mass.:

The Rev. Abner Morse in his 1867 compilation, A Genealogical Record of Several Families Bearing the Name of Cutler (p. 27) stated that Nathaniel3 Cutler, son of Nathaniel2 (John1) and Mary (----) Cutler was born 12 March 1659 at Reading, Mass., and died 7 June 1714, ae. 55 years and two months, being called "Mr." on his gravestone. Morse said that Nathaniel's first wife, whom he marred (sic) 24 May 1700, was Elizabeth Underwood of Watertown, and that his second wife, whom he married 21 Feb. 1709, was Elizabeth Haines of Reading. Morse futher reported that the second wife married, secondly, 24 Feb. 1718, Theophilus Clark of Medway, "took all her children with her, and saw them trained up in the way they should go, Mr. Clark having lost his first wife Rebecca, Dec. 1, 1717, and three children, 1716." Morse lists as children of Nathaniel3 and Elizabeth (Underwood) Cutler: Nathaniel, Elizabeth and John; and as the only child of Nathaniel by the alleged second wife: Jonathan.

Morse's account was followed substantially by Nahum S. Cutler in A Cutler Memorial (1889), pp. 325-6, except that a fourth child of Nathaniel and first wife is listed: Mary. The account again found its way into print in Henry Cutler's History of the Holliston Branch of the Cutler Family (1897), p. 13, which continues with the descendants of Jonathan4 Cutler.

Turning to Lucien M. Underwood's compendious The Underwood Families of America (1913), 1:6, one finds that Elizabeth3 Underwood, daughter of Joseph2 (Joseph1) and Elizabeth Underwood, was born 8 May 1679; married 24 May 1700, Nathaniel Cutler of Reading, Mass., and had children at Reading: Nathaniel Cutler, b. 8 Dec. 1702; Elizabeth, b. 20 April 1704 or 1705, and John, b. 30 Oct. 1707. Underwood continues: "She must have died soon after 1707 because Nathaniel Cutler is recorded as married to a second wife in 1709, and another child is recorded to him at Reading: Jonathan Cutler, b. 17 Feb. 1711."

A start on the right track with respect to this family group was made by Charles L. Newhall in The Record of my Ancentry (sic) (1889), p. 191, when he noted that Elizabeth Haines was the second wife of Nathaniel2 Cutler, not of his son Nathaniel3. However, Newhall perpetuated the story of Elizabeth (Underwood) Cutler's predeceasing her husband, showing a second wife, name unknown, for Nathaniel3.

Vital and probate records clearly show that Elizabeth Underwood survived her first husband, Nathaniel3 Cutler; was, in fact, the mother of all of his five children; that she then married Theophilus Clark of Medway as his second wife, born him four children; and survived Clark by 20 years.

Nathaniel2 Cutler (John1) married Mary ____ at Reading 29 Sept. 1655 (V.R.) and had among others, son Nathaniel, born 12 March 1658/9 (ibid.). Mary, wife of Nathaniel, died 4 Feb. 1707/8, at Reading (ibid.). He married secondly, 21 Feb. 1708/9 at Reading Elizabeth Haines (ibid., he being called "Nathaniel, Sr." in the record). Elizabeth, wife of Nathaniel Sr., died 4 March 1714 at Reading (ibid.). He died before 1 Dec. 1724, intestate, when letters of administration in the estate of Nathaniel Cutler Sr., of Reading were granted to a daughter, widow Lydia Walker (Middlesex County Probate, No. 5548).

Nathaniel3 Cutler (Nathaniel2, John1) was born 12 March 1658/9 at Reading (V.R.) and married there 24 May 1700, Elizabeth Underwood of Watertown (ibid.) born to Joseph and Elizabeth Underwood at Watertown 8 May 1679 (Henry Bond, Genealogies of the Families... of WATERTOWN, MASS., 1860), p. 610. Nathaniel Cutler Jr. died 7 June 1714 in his 56th year at Reading(V.R.) The inventory of his estate, filed 18 Oct. 1714, showed an estimated value of L750. 13s., and other papers in the file showed that the administratrix was Elizabeth Clark, "formerly widow of Nathaniel Cutler of Reading, now the wife of Theophilus Clark of Medway." The appraisers were Nathaniel, the eldest son of deceased; Samuel Harding, husband to Mary, daughter of deceased; Raham Bancroft and John Eaton, guardians of under-age children of deceased. The widow allegedly released her dower (but see her will, supra), and distribution was to the five chidren: Nathaniel, Mary, Elizabeth, John and Jonathan (Middlesex Count Probate, No. 5544).

Chidren, all recorded to Nathaniel and Elizabeth at Reading, (V.R.):

i. Mary 3, b. 18 Feb. 1711/01; mentioned as wife of Samuel Harding in record of father's estate.
ii. Nathaniel, b. 8 Dec. 1702; mentioned as deceased in mother's will in 1756 (supra).

iv. John, b. 30 Oct. 1707; mentioned in mother's will.
v. Jonathan, b. 17 Feb. 1710/11, mentioned in mother's will.

Elizabeth (Underwood) Cutler married, as her second husband, at Reading 24 Feb. 1718, Theophilus Clark of Medway (V.R.). He was the son born to Benjamin and Dorcas Clarke at Medfield 24 Sept. 1670 (V.R.). He and his first wife Rachel had 12 children recorded at Medfield between 1696 and 1710, and she died 1 Dec. 1717 at Medway (V.R.). "Mr. Theophilus Clark" was buried in the Old Cemetery at Ashford, Conn., the tombstone recording his death on 3 Oct. 1737 in his 76th year. Elizabeth Clark, "wife to Lieut. Theophilus Clark" is also buried there, she having died 25 Dec. 1757 in her 82nd year.

The will of Elizabeth Clark of Ashford, Windham County, Conn., dated 4 June 1756 and proved 2 Feb. 1758, gives:
(T)o the heirs of my son Nathanael Cutler deceased: all that is due to me from his estate as dowry out of my first husbands estate and that is all I will to them from my estate. . . to my son John Cutler (the same) . .. to my son Jonathan Cutler (the same). . . to my daughter Mary Harding (the same). . . to my daughter Elizabeth Chandler all that is due to me from her which is all the portion I will give her. . . to my son Benjamin Clark seventy six pounds old tennor which is duue to me from him by a certanin note of hand dated June 5th 1751 this I give to him to be to his proper use and benefit during his natural life and at his deceas it is my will that it shall be given to the heirs of my sone Theophilus Clark deceased and this is all the portion I give him considering what I have given him before. . .

1528 The trolley has just stopped at the Neffsville Hotel in this photograph

taken about 1907. This hotel was built in 1812 by Leonard Fiddler and

later owned and operated by my neighbor Sam Sherman.

It was an ordinary day. Talking with the secretary at the Landis Run Inter- mediate School in Neffsville, PA. I do their yearbook as well as the in-house printing for the school. She mentioned that she saw me standing in the square in Neffsville taking photos this morning. Told her that I was writing a story about Hauck's Store that used to stand on the corner and also managed to snap a few photos of the old Neffsville Hotel which was katy-corner from Hauck's. When Carol and I purchased our first home in the Grandview Heights neighborhood of Lancaster, we lived a few doors from a fellow named Sam Sherman and his wife, Beatrice, and their daughter Estelle. Sam was quite a few years older than me and we never got to know each other very well, but I did talk to him a few times about the hotel and bar that he ran called the Neffsville Hotel. Seems that Neffsville was originally called "Fiddler's Green." In 1812 Leonard Fiddler built the first hotel on the square in Neffsville on the northwest corner of the intersection. He was said to have played his violin regularly under a green tree next to the hotel, thus the name of "Fiddler's Green."

This is what the same corner looks like today. The old hotel

is now a flower shop. It opened in 2003 on the square.

The hotel functioned as such for many years, under different manage- ment, until it was finally purchased and turned into a flower shop. Sam ran the hotel and bar throughout the time that I can remember being a student at the nearby Manheim Township Jr. HIgh and High School. He eventually closed the hotel and it sat vacant for close to six years before the flower shop added an addition on the south side of the building and opened their store. The flower shop is still in operation today. Sam and his wife have since died, but many in Neffsville still remember the glory days of the Neffsville Hotel when Sam ran the place. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
