NEW
YORK YEARS
Larkin
DeWitt, son of Benjamin DeWitt, the immigrant, was born in the colony
of New York, September 5, 1794, and was left an orphan at 8 years of
age.
During the War of 1812 he enlisted at Sacckett's Harbor, New York,
September 18, 1812, for a term of 5 years and served as a private, U.S.
Rifles, Captain William Smith's Company and was discharged September 17
or 18, 1817, at Bell Fontaine, Missouri, by reason of expiration of
Service. (National Archives, Washington, D.C.) Larkin
DeWitt served under Colonel Forsyth at the battle of the Thames in
which battle the Indian Chief Tecumseh, who was fighting for the
British slipped up and killed Colonel Forsyth by lying in wait and
catching him between Canada and the Tavern. In the Battle of the
Thames,
Chief Tecumseh was mortally wounded. Larkin DeWitt was the first
man to the Chief and was preparing to scalp him when Tecumseh said,
"Young man, please don't scalp me". Larkin DeWitt then took
Tecumseh's sword, pistol, and watch to Tecumseh's widow and gave the
sword and pistol to his commanding officer.
Once while on guard duty during the War of 1812, Larkin DeWitt was
looking toward a wheat field and noticed a sprout growing in the
wheat. He turned his head and when looked again the sprout had
moved. Knowing Indian customs, this attracted his attention and
he watched the sprout and an Indian jumped out and fell dead. The
sprout was a signal to the rest of the Indians who were approaching.
MISSOURI YEARS
After the expiration of his term of service and discharge at (Fort)
Belle
Fontaine,
Missouri, Larkin DeWitt made his way up the Missour River
to Boonville
(Cooper Co.) and
took charge of a farm in Cooper County as an overseer in 1820.
After working there for awhile he married Hannah Potter (Ewing), a
widow on July 20, 1820.
| Larkin
DeWitt went to Green County, Missouri, and settled on the Little Sac
about 1832. John Ross, William Ross and R. Ross went with him and were
early settlers in Campbell Township, which comprised the greater
portion of Green County. He later returned to Cooper County where
he
lived the remainder of his life and died there September 3, 1873. He is
buried in the Potter
Cemetery in Cooper County not far from Clifton
City, Missouri. |

One
time
when Larkin DeWitt was walking along the main street in Boonville,
Missouri he saw a man approaching who was his sworn enemy. He saw
that this man was armed and as he was unarmed himself and knowing that
the man would attempt to kill him, he stepped into a store and borrowed
a horse pistol and went out to meet him. When they were within
firing range the other man attempted to draw and Larkin DeWitt being
the faster, drew and fired, shooting the pistol out of the other man's
hand and breaking his hip. This ended the feud.
The first settlers of Franklin Township like those of other parts of
Green County had to go to St. Louis and Boonville for their
supplies. Sometimes the journey was made with ox teams and the
trip occupied a month. Sometime in 1831, James K. Alsop, Samuel
Scroggis, and Daniel Johnson settled on the Little Sac, and were
followed in 1832 by John Headlee and two brothers-in law, Benjamin
Johnson and James Dryden.
In the same year came Thomas P. Whitlock, the father of W.P.
Whitlock. He arrived in June, from Harkeman County, Tennessee,
and settling in what is now Franklin Township, in the north part of the
county. He brought with him a wife and son. Zachariah
Simms, Benjamin Johnson, Henry Morrison, David and John Roper, Drury
Upshaw, and Larkin DeWitt, all settled about the same time in that part
of the country.
Larkin DeWitt, John Ross, William Ross, and R. Ross were early settlers
of the section of the country now comprising the great portion of Green
County-then called Campbell Township.
All of the above is from the 1980 book "Bennett-DeWitt
and
Related Families" by Paul Bennett. (pt. II. A genealogy of
DeWitt, Farley, Holman, Potter, Ross, and Steelman families.)

The purpose of this entire Benjamin / Larkin / John / William DeWitt clan listing is
to provide the
details of their clan because one of their ancestors Bernie DeWitt has
Y chromosome DNA that matches mine at 66 of 67 loci .
At the 67th, there is only a difference of 1.
These results suggest that Bernie and I share a common ancestor within
300 years.
These results were reported in October 2009. Hopefully further
investigations will lead us
to the identity of our mystery common ancestor. (More Info)

Some refs state that
Thomas
Licklider was her husband but others state that his wife was Jane Melvin.
In the 1870 census his wife Jane was
his age (62) and he was born in 1810.
Jane Melvin was born in 1809.
So that suggests that Jane Dewitt did not marry him.

Margaret W Maggie
McBride
b. 15 Jun 1861
d. 20 Jun 1890
The Cyclone of 1890 (excerpt)
Miss Maggie McBride of this place, was teaching here; school had been
dismissed--it was almost 4:30 p.m. As it was raining, but few of the
pupils had left the house. Some parents had sent for their children,
and one or two had started out in the storm; seven remained with the
teacher awaiting an abatement of the rain; they must have heard the
hissing and howling of the tempest as it approached. Undoubtedly they
saw the whirling, snorting, smoking demon as it bounded over the fields
toward them, and huddled about their devoted teacher who attempted to
quiet their fears--but one moment of this awful suspense, and eight
souls were hurled into eternity. Anxious, agonizing parents, who lived
near the line of the storm and in sight of the school house, whose
hearts yearned for the safety of their little ones, hurried towards the
scene the moment the tornado had passed, but alas! The school house was
not to be seen, and their dear ones answered not to their distracted
cries.
Comment: I am not sure that this Maggie is Jasper's Maggie because she
is mentioned as Ms. McBride after she was supposedly married.
I obtained this story from ancestry.com about a Maggie McBride who was
the daughter of
George Runyan McBride
