EARLY SETTLERS OF MACON COUNTY ILLINOIS
In 1829 came John Flora and wife, Mary Ott, with their family to Illinois, reach his destination in the latter part of December. He moved his family and effects in four wagons drawn by horses, and at length reached John’s Hill. Decatur had just been laid out, and Springfield was a market at that time. Mr. Flora entered the land from the Government, and in a log cabin the family lived in true pioneer style, dressing in buckskin and wearing coonskin caps. Their beds were made of poles inserted between the logs, and clapboards were placed up these. There were thirteen children in the family, hence the household was a large one. In Virginia the father owned a saw and grist mill, but after coming to the West he carried on agricultural pursuits. He became well-to-do, and, although he had served in the Revolutionary War and was granted a pension, he would never draw the money.

When learning of Joseph’s idenity, they killed him with a hatchet blow to the head. His 3-year-old son John was killed as the Indians slammed his head to a tree. The others in the party were taken captive as was his daughter Jane, who was only 4-months old at the time. His wife Elizabeth was taken as well. (SEE THE PAGE FOR ELIZABETH GUTHRIE FOR DETAILS OF HER CAPTURE).Elizabeth Guthrie was the wife of Capt. William Guthrie. They had 10-children. Elizabeth Guthrie gave an account of the burning of Hannastown on July 13, 1782 and her experiences as a captive of the Indians in her petition to the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Guthrie & Jane Reed. Before her marriage to Capt. William Guthrie, she was married to Capt. Joseph Brownlee. In the attack by the Indians on Miller’s Blockhouse on July 13, 1782, the Indians killed Elizabeth’s first husband Capt. Brownlee and her three year old son John, and took her, her four month old daughter Jane, and several others prisoner.The Indians took them to Buffalo and to Niagra where Elizabeth was sold to British officers for $20.00. Jane was sold also for $10.00 and two gallons of rum. The British took the captives to Montreal as prisoners of war. They were there exchanged for British prisoners and returned to Hannastown, Pa. in July of 1783. Elizabeth married Capt. Guthrie there one year later in July of 1784. Daughter Jane grew up, married James Hugle and moved to Muskingum County, Ohio.

On January 13th, 1732, Colonel Jeduthan Baldwin was born in Woburn, Massachusetts. He was the son of Isaac and Mary Flagg Baldwin. His grandfather, Henry Baldwin, was the original settler of Woburn, and the family home that was built in 1640, now called the Baldwin House, is still intact. He did not reside in Woburn for long, but moved to Sudbury, Massachusetts. After Baldwin had grew older, he moved to Brookfield, Massachusetts where he stayed for the duration of his life. He settled in the northern part of this area, which separated itself from the town between the years 1750 and 1756. He became a landowner in May of 1754 with the purchase of about twenty-three acres of land. Throughout his time in North Brookfield, Baldwin acquired a large amount of land. Baldwin married in April of 1757 a woman by the name of Lucy. Her father, Reverend Ebenezer Parkman was the first Reverend to settle in Westboro, Massachusetts. Baldwin carried a good relationship with his father-in-law. Baldwin and Lucy had four children. One child, his daughter was named Betsey and the other three were boys. Jeduthan was killed when he was six years old in October of 1763. Isaac died in 1783, at nineteen years of age. Luke was his third son, he was very successful in his life.French and Indian War
In the spring of 1755, Baldwin was serving in the military. He was twenty-three years old at the time and served with the British campaign in the French and Indian war. He was a captain with a full company in the first attempt to capture Crown Point. During this time, Baldwin was injured in the leg. The injury was severe and the doctors wanted to amputate. Baldwin would not have it, but still the doctors continued threatening to disable him and to perform surgery. Baldwin then informed anyone that came too close he would attempt to shoot them. It ended up healing fine. The expedition against Crown Point ended up not succeeding. This was the British Armies first attempt to capture Crown Point. Crown Point was at the southern end of New France. It was valuable to the British because of its location on Lake Champion. The British did not have the element of surprise behind them and the first attempt to capture the fort failed. The current plan of capturing the fort was expelled.The British campaign moved onto other plans in 1755, which included the building of Fort Williams Henry, which was south of Crown Point. Here, Baldwin worked under the British engineer Captain William Erye. Captain Erye was one of the best British engineers of his time. Baldwin watched and learned very carefully. The construction of this fort lasted two years. It was built on Lake George. This was a good location because Fort Edward, on the Hudson, was only sixteen miles away. It was also an important location because it was located on the border of New York and New France. Captain Erye designed the fort as well and as built it. The fort included hospital and moate. It could house up to about 400 men.Baldwin continued his involvement in the military throughout the French and Indian war. In 1759, he was part of another siege at Crown Point. This was the fifth siege against Crown Point. The second had happened a few years before. It had failed because the British had under estimated the numbers of French soldiers. During this third attempt to take control of the fort, the French launched an attack against them. Part of the British Army fled to another camp and the Fort William Henry massacre ended up taking place. In the fourth, the British ended up fleeing after battle. Finally, in the fifth, they were successful at capturing Crown Point. The French were weakened because the way the troops had been dispersed. Gaining this fort gave the British campaign a huge lead because of prime location. Fort Ticonderoga was also captured in this time. This gave the British campaign the control of a wholechain of lakes. Baldwin was a captain and was a part of these efforts.Before the Revolutionary War
After the French and Indian War, Baldwin returned to his land and family in North Brookfield. His father died around this time. During the time prior to 1744 and the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Baldwin used this time to become a trader and farmer. He would haul merchandise from Boston and sell it. He seemed to be very successful before the war, for he obtained more land.In the winter of 1773, Baldwin was a part of a committee made of five men. These men were reviewing two letters written from Boston. These letters related to the British import of tea. They agreed that they would no longer support the British tea because they would be losing out on their own free rights. The following March, Baldwin’s town held a meeting. He was picked to be the Town Clerk, one of five members that made up the Selectmen, and then one of the two surveyors of shingles. In September of 1774, the town also selected the members of the Committee of Correspondence; Baldwin was chosen to be apart of this group too. Also in September Baldwin became a delegate for a committee of the Provincial Congress. The Provincial Congress was a way for the towns and settlements outside of the British controlled Boston to meet and determine how they wanted Massachusetts to be in the future. John Hancock was the president of this congress. After initially being a part of the committee, there was a town meeting in December of 1774 and Baldwin was voted to be a delegate at a another meeting of the congress. In the next year, Baldwin donates many supplies to the war effort such as corn, beans, and cheese.6 Throughout 1775 Baldwin’s engineering skills were used in the rebel military. Baldwin worked on Bunker Hill and Prospect Hill. Here he installed breastwork fortifications. Breastworks are simple defenses that can be put up quickly. They are normally composed of dirt and logs and roughly chest high. These defenses were quickest way to set up protection. Baldwin was not a participant in the Battle at Bunker Hill; however, his brother was present and killed. In 1776, Baldwin gained the rank of Colonel and also the title of Chief American Military Engineer of the Northern Theater Army.The Expierence of Ticonderoga (Reported by “Colonel Baldwin”)
Not a week passed after my first arrival at Fort Ticonderoga in July of 1776 before all of my articles were stolen, not limited to my clothes but also my money, papers and effects. I was “ heartily tired of this Retreating, Ragged, Starved, lousey, thievish, Pockey Army in this unhealthy Country”. I spent much of the remainder of that year sickly and left for home inBrookfield. Thus my first impression of Fort Ticonderoga was at best poor.Upon my return to Fort Ticonderoga a year later, General Schuyler gave me orders that entailed constructing an elaborate bridge between Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence. This was my clear priority along with general improvements to the fort and Mount Independence. These orders also called for many other improvements to the garrison. By the time Major General Arthur St. Clair arrived at the fort I had achieved much in the way of repairs and fortifications. I had “ designed and built or repaired ships and sawmills, batteries and re-doubts, a wharf, two guardhouses, a boom of logs across the lake to impede enemy vessels, an artillery park, campsites, a huge storehouse, hospitals, and a bakery”. I also located a source of drinking water on Mount Independence that turned out to be quite invaluable. Furthermore, I supervised construction on what would later be called the Great Bridge. Along the way I received some skilled assistance from Colonel Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a volunteer from Poland with engineering experience. Who turned out to be a bigger help than I thought he would be.Upon Major General St. Clair’s arrival there was a heavy stream of fog and rain that seemed to foreshadow the state of the fort. “ As Charles Carroll realized when he laid eyes on the place a year before, it was a dilapidated ruin; worse, it was presently so short of manpower, arms, provisions, and every item of equipment that it was absurd to expect defenders to hold out against military force determined to overrun the place”(Ketchum). Even with all of my extensive improvements the fort was in a dire state. Shortly after his arrival at the fort I arranged a tour of the defenses and armaments for the Major General.During the month of June there was the much welcomed sound of work in the air, with companies drilling, carpenters sharpening tools and me delegating all of the work as best I could. I had Kosciuszko take 100 men and build batteries and for a barrier of spiked trees. I supervised 150 men in sinking caissons. I had Udney Hay take charge of a number of black freedmen who were drafted from Continental regiments. The only time that the surrounding valley was quite was at night when the men could make out the call of an owl, or even sometimes a wolf.Even with all of this work, it was almost inevitable that the fortifications at Fort Ticonderoga and Mount Independence would not hold, and on July the fifth I was given orders to help orchestrate a retreat. I remember the time exactly that Major General St. Clair informed me of this, it was nine o’clock. Seeing that retreat was the only logical option, I went about doing the only thing I could do make sure the evacuation went as seamlessly as possible. My orders dictated that I was to have my artificers collect all of their tools and deliver them to the boats by 2:00AM. Needless to say I had all of my men assembled by midnight, and had everything taken care of on the Ticonderoga side. Although not without leaving a few important things behind, the retreat was widely successful. We not only made it out with hardly a casualty, we managed to salvage enough equipment to keep going and survive, only just.The Battle Saratoga
In the Battle of Saratoga Baldwin did not do anything of much significance. He was there, though, and participated in the battle. Leading up to this battle there was a shift in his, along with the military’s in general, mood. They were no longer “just getting by,” the mood was more positive. Before the battle, Baldwin put his efforts into destroying as opposed to creating. He lead a group of 280 men to Stillwater, there they either burned or transported planks of wood that had been left behind. He also continued on by destroying bridges and tearing up roads. The idea behind all of this destruction was to slow the British force as much as possible and to do anything that would slow them down and make it harder for them to cross the terrain. Baldwin also discovered a group of loyalists around this time and had them turned in.Americans, or rebels, won the Battle of Saratoga. The Battle of Saratoga was broken down to two different battles. The Americans lost the first actually, but in the second came back so strongly that the British were forced to surrender. Leading up to the Battle of Saratoga, many were beginning to think that the “loss” at Ticonderoga wasn’t much of a loss as once thought. Most of the men had escaped and were at Saratoga for that battle. Baldwin goes as far to say that because of St. Clair’s brave and courageous departure from Ticonderoga, Saratoga actually occurred. Without it, he thought that it would have never actually happened. Saratoga’s win, could be directly linked too the evacuation of Ticonderoga. Had the Americans stayed at Ticonderoga, there is a likely chance that the British would have still captured the fort but also been the cause of many causalities and prisoners. Since the Americans fled, they had more forces at Saratoga. The British were also much too confident. They believed that the Americans were weakened by the loss of this fort. While they may have lost supplies they did not lose spirit. The victory at Saratoga is also when the French started to take interest in the Americans and saw that they could beat the British.After the War and Death
Baldwin continued in the military until April of 1782. Sometime after his time in the army, Baldwin was a part of group of Engineers and a part of a secret society purposed for officers to be able to work through everything they had been through. Baldwin donated money to an academy.Colonel Jeduthan Baldwin died at North Brookfield, Massachusetts on June 4, 1788 at the age of 56. He was survived by his wife, Judy Baldwin, his son, Luke Baldwin, and his daughter, Betsey Baldwin.At Baldwin’s funeral Reverend Daniel Foster delivered a sermon which discussed his life accomplishments and his family. Within his sermon Foster dedicated Baldwin’s wife Judy, his living children Luke and Betsey, and his diseased children Jeduthan and Isaac. Foster mentions how his son, Jeduthan, died by being thrown into a cart at the age of six and how his other son, Isaac, died as a college student at the University of Cambridge.Col. Baldwin’s tombstone reads, “Be it remembered that here lies the body of
Jeduthan Baldwin, colonel and engineer in the late American war, who died June
the 4th 1788. He was a true Patriot, an intrepid soldier, an exemplary Christian, and a friend to all mankind. Blessed are the dead who die in the lord.”Books on line of Col.

The account with the original spelling and capitalization of all nouns, as printed in the South Carolina Gazette under date, Feb 9, 1760:
“Yesterday so’nnight (an archaic word to describe a period of seven nights and days or a week), the whole of the Long Cane Settlers to the Number of 150 Souls moved off with most of their Effects in Waggons; to go toward Augusta in Georgia and in a few Hours after their setting off were surprised and attacked by about 100 Cherokees on Horseback, while they were getting their Waggons out of a boggy Place; They (the settlers) had about 40 Gunmen, who might have made a very good defence, but unfortunately their Guns were in the Waggons; the few who recovered their’s (Guns), fought, the Enemy half an Hour and were at last obliged to fly; In the action, they lost seven Waggons and 40 of their people killed or taken prisoner (including Women and Children) the Rest got safe to Augusta; whence the Express arrived here with the same Account on Tuesday Morning.”Later, on Feb 23, 1760, the South Carolina Gazette had this item:
“Mr Patrick Calhoun, one of the unfortunate Settlers at Long Canes who were attacked by the Cherokees on the first Instant as they were removing their Wives, Children and Best Effects to Augusta, in Georgia, for Safety, is just come to Town (Charlestown) and informs us “That the whole of these Settlers might be about 250 souls, 50 or 60 of them fighting Men; that their Loss in that Affair amounted to about Fifty Persons, chiefly Women and Children with 15 loaded Waggons and Carts; that he had since been at the Place where the Action happened, in order to bury the Dead and found only 20 of their bodies, most inhumanly butchered; that the Indians had burned the Woods all around but had left the Waggons and Carts there empty and unhurt; and that he believed all the fighting Men would return and fortify the Long Cane Settlement were (if) part of the Rangers so stationed as to give them some Assistance and Protection.”Also, in this same issue of the South Carolina Gazette, dated Feb 23, 1760, is the following
“We have to late Advices from the Fort Prince-George (the outmost fort in the Cherokee Indian foothills town in what is now Oconee County) of any Consequences from places on that Route but from Fort Moore (a fort opposite Augusta and on the South Carolina side of the Savannah river) we learn that a Gang of 18 Cherokees divided into 3 or 4 Parties, on the 15th instant way-laid, killed and scalped Ulrig Tobler, Esq, a Captain of Militia in those Parts as he was riding from his Father’s to that Fort and shot Mr William Calhoun, who was with him, in the Hand; 3 other Persons who were in Company were unhurt; the Indians who killed Capt Tobler left a Hatchet sticking in his Neck, on which were 3 old Notches and 3 newly cut.”Several of the Settlers were found hiding in the woods by the men who well-armed and in numbers returned to search for the victims.~~~Patrick Calhoun, of the original brothers who settled in the Long Canes, found his niece, REBECCA CALHOUN, daughter of his brother Ezekiel Calhoun, hiding in a Cane Brake. This Rebecca Calhoun afterwards married Andrew Pickens, who was a Brigadier General in the Revolution, member of Congress, the father of Andrew Pickens who became Governor of South Carolina in 1816.Gen Andrew Pickens declined the offer of being made Governor of South Carolina but his son, Andrew Pickens Jr did serve, and had a son, Francis Wilkinson Pickens, who like his grandfather, was a member of Congress and was Ambassador to Russia just before the War Between the States and in 1860 became the “War Governor of South Carolina.” These were descendants of the young Rebecca Calhoun who escaped the night attack of the Indians not far from Patterson’s Bridge over Long Cane – remembering, of course, that there was no bridge over Long Cane at that place or any other in those early times. There was a ford there and tradition is that the pursuing Indians had almost given up hope of catching up with the fleeing whites but some of the “Waggons” (the old spelling) got stuck in the bog and the noise made in trying to get the horses to pull the “wagons” and carts out of the bog reached the ears of the Indians and they came on. They did not attack, however, as the Gazette account states, until after nightfall and while the whites were off their guard, getting ready to feed the horses and have supper themselves and with their guns all hidden or covered up in the wagons and carts.**********************************************************

The Parsons Burying Ground was the burying ground for the Thomas Parsons family who came to the area in 1841 and built the large brick house (now on Lee Street, Defiance). They had bought the property from Joseph Haines family. Weather Joseph who d. in 1834 is buried there is not known. The site was used as a cemetery as early as 1811 when Mary A. Moore dau of Zachariah and Alice Moore was buried there. Several others were buried there prior to the arrival of the Parsons family. The first Parsons family member was buried at this site in 1851. The property was in the Parsons family for over 100 years. In the book on St. Charles County Cemeteries it is noted that the Burying Ground was now known as the Pleasant Hill Memorial Methodist Church Cemetery.

The old Pleasant Hill Methodist was a mile south of Defiance on Howell Road. That was the site of the Darst Family Burying Ground and in the 1850’s when the Darst family sold land there for the first Pleasant Hill Methodist Church it became the Pleasant Hill Methodist Cemetery. Later after the church was destroyed in a storm the decision was made to rebuild in the village of Defiance. They and the Parsons family maintained the cemetery till the Parsons family sold the property, and the Pleasant Hill Memorial Methodist Church took over the maintance of the Cemetery. This occurred in the 1980’s.
