She went up north where her folks lived and stayed there until August and then went to Rockford where her brother is; she has been in Rochelle Illinois, most of the time since. She doesn't write to me. I wrote to her to come home; the children write to her and she has refused to do it. I have sent her truck and sent her money and she sent back the money said she didn't ask any odds of me. ... "I don't know why she went away. She left my place with her brother-in-law; she had been running around different times through the winter with him. The only thing I could see it was a put up job to get her away; her folks never liked me. It was the man who married her sister; her sister was sick, and she went over and took care of her and she hasn't been back to see the children." Testimony of a witness: "I was working across the road from his house and I see what was going on. Her brother-in-law who drove a milk wagon came there and got his dinner; she got kind of stuck on this fellow and she stayed out for hours at a time while he fed his horses after dinner in the milk wagon with the top on them. That kept up for two or three months and then she left. The brother-in-law lives at Lima Center, and I don't think he has left his wife.

In Manitowoc County, Wisconsin Geneology: Dennis Moore's Civil War Rosters, it reads: Mark was hired to work in quartermasters about 8-1864 for six months. He was sent to St. Louis and from there to DuValls Bluff, Arkansas. Captain Gobert was in command of the post, at that place. He was discharged in 1865 and sent to St. Louis with voucher for his pay and as no money was available there at that time he sold his voucher and returned home to Manitowoc about 3-30-1865, and found that he had been drawn on draft in Sept. of the previous year. Henry Wills left the paper of draft at his house while he was away. On his return home, he immediately went before an officer and made affidavit as to his service the previous six months in Arkansas. S.A. Wood, then county judge of Manitowoc Co. also furnished proof and endorsed the same. Mark then reported to headquarters at Green Bay 4-10-1865 on the draft and was exonerated by the officers in charge from all charges of desertion. He was sent to Camp Randall, Madison and was recieved there 4-14-1865. On 4-26, he was forwarded to the army of the Potomac in Virginia, arriving there about 5-1-1865 at West Arlington, Virginia with 81 other men. He returned home to Manitowoc. His honorable discharge was made out in regular form and oath of identity and full description attached. These papers were burned together with other valuable papers in his house near Tomah, Wisconsin in 1874. He since obtained a certificate of service. Mark was denied a pension because he had not served in the military for 90 days.
The record at Washington read:
Returning from the Army service somewhat broken in health, he sold his interests in Manitowoc County and moved to Sauk County between Portage and Baraboo where he bought a farm of 80 acres and engaged in the business of raising hops for market. Charlotte died in 1866 or 1867. Mark remarried on 9-4-1870 to a widow, Mrs. Sarah (Archer) Vialou. Sarah was from the Janesville area. About a year later, they sold out at Baraboo and moved to a place near Tomah, Wisconsin. It was known locally as Water Mills where he engaged in lumbering and some farming. It was here that James Finley Williams was born on 1-12-1873. Leslie Ellsworth Williams was born 9-18-1874 in a rented place near the north edge of Tomah. There was a fire in Tomah in 1874 which about wiped out Mark's farming venture. They lived at Tomah untill the spring of 1877 when they moved to Vinton (Benton), Iowa where Sarah had some relatives. Mark engaged in farming for a short time, when he hurt his back lifting a wagon. He could never do physical labor again. They then moved into town where Leslie and James went to school. Mark was in poor health but did quite a lot of gardening for the next few years. In the fall of 1888 the family returned to Wisconsin, locating in Janesville. Their sons, James Findley ("Fin" to the family) and Leslie dropped out of school at ages 13 and 11 years to work in the cotton mill in Janesville, (still standing in 2002), to support Mark and Sarah. They worked 11 hours a day, 6 days a week. Mark died of senile tuberculosis. He was ill with the disease for about five years. Services were held at his home at 404 West Bluff Street, Janesville, Wisconsin. Mark's pension number was 619743. He first applied for military pension 8-12-1887 at Vinton, Iowa. His claim for disability arose from a disease of the lungs, which was contracted in April or May of 1865 at Alexandria, Pa.. He was diagnosed and treated by Dr. Simmons of Manitowoc, Wis in October 1865 and by Dr. Fitch in New York in 1866 and 1867. Mark claimed to have used lots of patent medicines. He claimed to have done farm work about 1/3 of the time and for the last six years had not been able to do any work in the winter season. He had an examination 12-7-1887 (62 yrs of age) and was rejected on 4 -30-1888. In the boards opinion, he was in a fine state of preservation for a man his age and there was no disability. They found his general nutrition good and general health apparently good. On May 6, 1890 and now living in Janesvville, Wisconsin, he asked for a new examination. He stated that he had not filed for 3 or 4 years and that he had been denied unjustly the first time. He stated that he could not get testimony from the doctors who treated him as they were deceased. On 7-5-1890 W.J. Cannon and John Masterson witnessed his signature for application. On 10-18-1890 affidavits by W.J. Cannon and M. Evans-pastor of M.Episcopal Church, Janesville. On 10-3-1890 there was a physicians testimony. E.E. Loomis and Hugh Mengie, M.D.'s testified they did not know Mark before or after enlistment and had never prescribed or treated him for any disability. He lived within a mile of them. They made a physical examination of him and their diagnosis was chronic bronchitus. They stated that there was real evidence of disease of the lungs and that he was incapacitated to perform manual labor. Two general affidavits, one from Carver Thompson from Vinton (Benton) Iowa-the other Joseph Walters from Vinton (Benton)Iowa. Both stated they knew Mark for about ten years and that he was able to work only half days in the first part of the ten years and not even that much in the latter part of the ten years. By November 1890, all evidence required had been turned in. Two neighbors, Peter Howland (knew Mark 2 years) andW.G.Palmer (knew Mark 1 year), signed affidavits. Both said he could only work about one fourth of the average able bodied man. The second claim was filed on July 7,1890. On February 6, 1891, he filed evidence of present dissability. On October 23, 1891 from Janesville, he personally wrote a letter and said he was 71 years old and in desperate circumstances. He could not earn anything and had no land to sell. On November 1, 1891, he wrote personally to the Honorable General Raum, pension committee. His attourney wrote several notes previously. On 12-8-1891, General Raum sent him a letter to go before Dr. Cawbacker's office in Osceola Mills in Polk County, Wisconsin for a medical exam within three months. This was 400 miles from home. He wrote on 12-1891 and told them this and said it must have been a mistake since there was a doctor in Janesville and three others within forty miles of home. On 2-3-1892, he was ordered to see Dr. C.R.Head in Janesville. On March 3, 1892 (72 years of age) he had a physical. He was found to be frail, nutrition impaired and general muscle weakness. On May 18, 1892 his pension was again rejected on the grounds that he had not served 90 days ion the United States Service as required by an Act dated June 27,1890. On June 15, 1897, another declaration was filed claiming he was physically unable to earn support by msanuel labor by reason of hernia or rupture, chronic bronchitus and general disability occasioned by age. Peter Howund and William G. Palmer were witnesses. It was again rejected June 3, 1898. On June 17, 1898, a letter was written to H. Clay Evans at Washington, D.C. It was written by E. --------Gray, in charge of Pension Division. He asked if he should appeal Mark's case. He said according to the records of his office, Mark served more than eight months ... September 30, 1864 to June 8, 1865. The letter said the pension was rejected on June 6,1898. January 9, 1901 a declaration of abandonment was filed. Mark was 81 years of age. The lung disease was not mentioned, but rather the rupture caused from service and feebleness produced. Mark died never recieving any pension. Obituaries (per Katherine Kruger): Janesville, Wisconsin

In 1797, Henry purchased land from George Scriba. He built a log cabin and settled at Cook's Crossing, now known as Harden Blvd. Camden. While living at Camden, a severe wind and rainstorm broke over the locality, threatening to demolish everything in its course. The house was taken away partially, including the contents, frightening the occupants considerably. After the calm, kind neighbors took the family in and cared for them, helping to rebuild their home, including a new roof. In 1802, Henry sold out to Martin Cook and relocated to Franklin (Oswego) New York, where he had a business interest at that time as a land agent. Also he operated a lodge where travelers would stop for a night's stay.
Henry was one of Franklin's first settlers on lot 189 (now the DeMassey farm-Stone Hill Road.) He was prominant farmer, assessor in 1805, town clerk in 1806-1808, supervisor from 1808-1810 and 1827-1830. He was made an Associate Judge of Court of Common Pleas in 1816-1818 and 1824-1826. He was appointed to the legislature in 1828. Judge Henry was established throughout the area, being a gentleman very much respected by the community, an upright honest citizen, being freindly with his neighbors, especially Elder Truman Gillet, a clergyman and Deacon Abner Comstock. In his honor, the people renamed the city of Franklin to Williamstown, New York. In 1833, after living in Franklin for thirty one years, he moved to Crawford County, Pennsylvania to be with his sons. Excerpts from transcribed document from the military pension papers of Henry Williams (per Katherine Kruger):
Col. Ledgyards Regiment marched to Stonington was stationed there to guard the place, a Brittish vessel lying off at anchor there at the time; was there on duty one month and returned home. And that in the year 1781, in the month of November as he believes, at the time of the enemy with the traitor (?) General Arnold commited such horrid butchering at Fort Griswold the same night or rather in the morning of that night he enlisted in Captain Shapleys Company who was in the action at Fort Grizwold and was filling in for the said company (having lost the most of his men in that action, himself being body wounded) to go to New London, was satisfied by Sergeant Puntifs (?) next to New London very early in the morning after the said action and joined the said Company which was an artillery company-that in the aforesaid action the said Col. Lengyard (or Ledgeard) was killed with his own sword after he surrendered the Fort and his sword to the enemy and that Peter Richards there upon killed the officer who killed Ledqiark (?) and was then killed himself by another Brittish officer-these facts were stated so to him on his arrival there the morning afore mentioned. The enemy had taken to above shipping and were gone. That after the death of Col. Leagiork, Col. McCellen (McClellan) succeeded ... command, and that in the spring following Captain Shapley died of his wound at his own hourse in New London, and that his Christian name was Adam. And that after his, the said Shaftley's death, one ... took command of the said Company and did command the same where be this deponant May in the year 1782 and that he served Dinmouthe (?) from the time of his last aforesaid enlistment till he was discharged and that he has not at any time had a written discharge-that the officer who killed Ledgread was buried on the spot in his military clothes and that afterwards he was disintered and that this deponent saw the coate that he was buried in-that he also saw Peter Richards above mentioned while he was laid out before his burial-that the whole time after Revolutionary War was seven months, that while he was serving as a substitute for the said Jonathan Williams he was fourteen years old on the fifth day of August 1879. Since the Revolutinary War he lived a short time in the same place above mentioned and afterward removed to Stephen town-Rensiler New York and from there he removed to Camden Oneida Co., New York, and from there to Williamstown where he now resides, where he has lived for thirty one years last.
Videre fulgte et inngjerdet stykke engeland på Sirirudsøya kalt Bulodden med en engelade, et høyland "i Etnaelva" kalt Purkehodet samt en liten engeslette ved Purkehodet, og endelig "ei sæter ved Tinton kalt Hågensætra". Så fulgte andre rettigheter, blant annet havnegang på "Tomles øyer". Even Iversen Tomle hadde forøvrig lånt 210 rdlr. av Anders Pedersen i 1797 og overdro ham til brukelighet i 7 år "et engelandstykke sønderst på Sigridrudsøyen ... efter den gamle grøft like til Øymoens eiendom motstøter, og sør efter skal strekningen gå etter den nyanlagte kongeveg like til Nørstebøens eiendom motstøter." Anders skilte ut og solgte Øymoen skog i 1811 - som etterhvert ble bnr. 1 av Tomle (gnr. 27) i matrikkelen - men sjølve Øymoen i 1812 ble solgt til svigersønnen Haldor Gulbrandsen Fjell. Haldor makeskiftet Øymoen med Ole Tidemannsen Ranu i 1819. Ole solgte Øymoen videre til Erik Gulbrandsen Kapperud samme år. Eriks enke Karen Nilsdatter solgte så til sønnen Gulbrand Eriksen i 1823, og han solgte til onkelen Ole Gulbrandsen Kapperud i 1830 som ble bruker her. [English] Anders was a cotter (with house but no land) here from ?within? 1785 until he bought Øymoen in 1805. He was not born in Land, and he entered into 2 marriages outside of Land. The business occurred 17 July 1805. The property consisted then of "the place Øymoen which now is enclosed", on a forest-and land piece that bordered Lunde in Etnedalen, Stuve, Nørstebøen and Tomle. Moreover, following a fenced piece of [engeland] in Sirirudsøya (u Tomle, aka Sigridrudsøyen) called Bulodden with an [engelade], a highland "in Etnaelva" called Purkehodet and a little [engeslette] with Purkehodet, and finally "a farm at Tinton called Hågen Sætra". Then came other rights, among other things grazing land at "Tomles øyer". Even Iversen Tomle had besides borrowed 210 rdlr. fromAnders Pedersen in 1797 and transferred to him [brukelighet] for 7 years "a [engelandstykke] [sønderst] at Sigridrudsøyen ... after the old trench equal to Øymoens property [motstøter], and south according to the stretch to go after the newly [kongeveg] all the time til Nørstebøens property [motstøter.]" Anders separated out and sold Øymoen forest in 1811 - which [etterhvert] was bnr. 1 of Tomle (farm number. 27) in the land register - but the actual Øymoen in 1812 was sold to the son-in-law Haldor Gulbrandsen Fjell. Haldor exchanged Øymoen with Ole Tidemannsen Ranu in 1819. Ole sold Øymoen to Erik Gulbrandsen Kapperud the same year. Erik's widow Karen Nilsdatter sold to her son Gulbrand Eriksen in 1823, and he sold to his uncle Ole Gulbrandsen Kapperud in 1830 who was bruker here.

1657 betalte man kvegskatt av Nes for 6 hester, 30 storfe, 10 sauer, 10 geiter og 4 svin. Nes var således en stor gård - den nevnes omkring 1600 som fullgård, d.v.s. den gikk i 1. klasse ved gårdtakseringen. Landkommisjonen av 1661 opplyser at Nes hadde en skyld til kronen på 3 huder og 3 skinn med bygsel og at gården fulgte Jørgen Phillipssøn for pant. I seteren Tellemarken eide brukeren Erik 5 skinn, Torkild Røen 2 1/2 skinn og Gulbrand Gaarder 2 1/2 skinn, alle med bygsel. Av et engstykke ble 4 album svart til Fluberg kirke uten bygsel. Til gården hørte en bekkekvern. Man kunne så 6 1/2 tønne. Tienden var 4 tønner. I 1663 ble Erik Nes vaigt til gjestgiver. Manntallslisten fra 1666 opplyser at Nes var gjestgivergård. Erik Endressøn var 62 år, sønnen Mats Eriksøn 26 år gl. Det var 3 tjenestedrenger på gården - Fredrik Svendssøn, 26, Gulbrand Svendssøn, 16 og Tarald Amundssøn, 18 år gl. I matrikulen fra 1670 ser vi at Nes hadde en skyld på 4 huder, 1 skinn og 4 skilling. Jørgen Phillipsen eide nå 3 huder i gården og 3 skinn i Biskopengen med bygsel. I Tellemarken seter engeland eide Erik 7 1/2 skinn, Torkild Røen 2 1/2 skinn med bygsel. "Kierche-Kiellen" av skyld 4 album lå til Fluberg kirke, og "Gomb Holmb" englenad hørte sammen med dette "for samme Rettighed" - altså uten særskilt skyld. Utseden utgjorde på denne tiden 12 tønner. Av fe var det 37 stykker på gården og hestetallet var 5. Gården hadde hundehage, akeren var skrinn, sommerbeite var det i Tellemarken, man drev litt fiskeri, hadde tømmerskog og litt bråteland. Erik Endresen var bruker av Nes til 1679/80. Etter Anne Knudsdatters død giftet han seg omkring 1665 med Ingeborg Svendsdatter fra Store Odnes, datter av Svend Alvssøn og hans 1. hustru, Karen Olufsdtr.

Samtidig med Narve var en mann ved navn Svend Reersen bruker på gården fra tidlig i 1630-årene, og i kopskattmanntallet fra 1645 - 46 oppføres han som den eneste oppsitter på gården. Foruten av ham selv ble det svart kopskatt av hans ektefelle og en pike samt av en husmann med kvinne og datter. [English] Narve Nerløs was listed in 1615 as the owner of 12 lispund (about 18 pounds) in Nærlos and 1/2 hud (old land measurement) in Tøndrum. In 1624 the estate increased to 13 lispund in Nærlos, 1/2 hud in Tøndrum, 4 skinns in Søndre Halmrast and 2 skinns in By in Vardal. Simultaneous with Narve early in the 1630's was a man named Svend Reersen, farmer, and in the poll tax of 1645-46 he was listed as the sole tenant farmer at the farm. Besides him self he was taxed for his spouse and a girl as well as a cotter with woman and daughter.
I 1615 opplyses at hans odels- og jordegods var 8 skinn i Berg, 4 skinn i Stensrud og 4 skinn i Vaslien øde. Året etter ser vi at det under Nes ble brukt et jorde kalt Tellemarken og Gummeholmen. I 1642 opplyses at Knud eide 5 lispund skyld i Sverud, 1 1/2 skinn i Kompelien, 1 hud og 1 skinn i Berg, 1/2 hud i Kjelberget, 4 skinn i Vaslien og 2 skinn i Tellemarken (ødegaård under Nes). [English] Knud Nes and Thorund Nes are mentioned in 1599/1600. The first named had holdings and tredjeårstage (various fees) of 3 huds (old land measurement) archbishop's estate, same as (d.v.s. same place) and of [Oppenneng?] hereunder, which consisted of 3 kalveskinn crown's estate. Knud, who died in 1643, owned substantial land. In 1615 it is stated that his freehold and land was 8 skinn in Berg, 4 skinn in Stensrud and 4 skinn in Vaslien øde (a part of Vaslien that'd been an ødegård). The following year, we see that under Nes a field was used called Tellemarken and Gummeholmen. In 1642 it's stated that Knud owned 5 lispund (about 18 pounds) debt in Sverud, 1 1/2 skinn in Kompelien, 1 hud and 1 skinn in Berg, 1/2 hud i Kjelberget, 4 skinn in Vaslien and 2 skinn i Tellemarken (ødegaård under Nes - a farm that was abandoned during the black death).

Ut fra odelgodset i både Esbjug og Nordre Tomle ødegård, samt at en sønn eier Ulvhus som ikke var gjenryd-det i 1615, er det klart at enten Oluf eller kona var en etterkommer [descendant] av Endre Endresen Tomle.
