=============================================
SAMUEL WESTLAKE II
Wayne Vandal Masterson, a Westlake genealogist, who credits another researcher named Ralph Pearson for the following, lists Samuel Westlake II as born in Cornwall, England, ca. 1721. His wife was Sarah Welling who was born in Philadelphia, Oneida County, New York. Samuel and Sarah settled in Trenton, New Jersey, and he reportedly owned property connected with the "Iron Works." [Schlabach] What that establishment was is not known, but Samuel worked as a blacksmith. [Pearson, The Westlake
Family] Samuel and Sarah had nine children. Several of the sons were said to have fought with Washington at the battle of Germantown. Some sources say Samuel, the father, was on the side of the British during the Revolution. [Schlabach]
A descendant, Mary Gilruth, stated that Samuel lived with his son Thomas in Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia), until he died at a great age [possibly in the year 1796], and was buried at the Gilboa Meeting House graveyard at Big Levels there. [Pearson]
Samuel and Sarah (Welling) Westlake had the following children [Pearson]:
1. Samuel Westlake, born 1745;
2. John Westlake, born 1747, died 1795;
3. Burroughs Westlake, born 1749 (Mercer County, PA);

Note "Our line is through Samuel who settled in New Jersey. Rather than arriving in America in 1740 however, Samuel was here by at least 1720. He was first in Philadelphia and then in New Jersey with his wife Anne. He died about 1726 and his will was probated that year. (1) Anne remarried John L. Burroughs on 13 Dec, 1726. (2) There may be some confusion about where Samuel and his descendants first lived as there is also a Philadelphia, New York. However, the area of Salem Co, New Jersey, Ulster and Orange Co, New York and Philadelphia are very close together and the Westlake families remained close as a family unit. Important references on Samuel are (4), (5) and (6).

From info research by a Bob Dixon, he writes:

SAMUEL WESTLAKE
Samuel and Ann Westlake were the first of this family to immigrate to America. They were here at least by the 1720's. They were said to have come from Devonshire, CO, England. However, some sources say Dumfries (County or Shire), Scotland. Samuel died by 1725. In New Jersey Colonial Documents, 26 November 1725, Ann Westlake of Piles Grove, Salem County, posted her bond as the administratrix of his estate. Henry Paullen of Salem County was fellow bondsman. From the same source, on 5 May 1726, was found a list of an inventory of the personal estate of Samuel Westlake by Henry Paullen and Sam Elwell (L51.3) On 13 December 1726, there was a marriage between Ann Westlake, possibly the widow of Samuel, and John L. Burroughs/Burrows. It took place in Philadelphia, PA, at the First Presbyterian Church. [Westlake Family History, Vol I, Patricia Base Schlabach]. Samuel and Ann had two known children, Samuel II and George. George died in New York City. [Benson Westlake, Westlake Family Chart.]

" George was born in 1747 in Orange Co. New York or Sussex Co. New Jersey. (Again, there are three Georges in this area of similar age.) He is believed to have married Mary (Mercy) Smith in Orange Co. on 21 May, 1776. She was born in 1750/55. George was a Revolutionary War soldier and was probably in the Ulster New York Regiment . (9) (This is rejected by the DAR since a George Westlake is in the 1790 Census of New York while our ancestor was in Maryland in 1790. This decision was made by the DAR even though other Georges of this age are not enumerated in any State. For example George (1725) lived in New York until after 1800 as did his son George.) The family of George- at least his wife- lived in Maryland when their oldest son was born in 1778. George paid taxes in Sussex Co. New Jersey in 1780 and 1781 and then moved to Hagerstown, Maryland where he was in the first Census of Maryland in 1790. He worked as a "forgeman" in Denton Jacques Ironworks in Hagerstown but left there about 1795. A notice in the Baltimore Sun in 1796 said "his two letters at the Post Office would be destroyed if they remained unclaimed". He still lived in Maryland in 1798 when his son Richard was born, but the place is not known.

(Several of the children assigned to George and Mercy by researchers were born in Pennsylvania. There is reasonable doubt that George (1747) could pay taxes in New Jersey, serve in the military in New York, work in Maryland and live in Pennsylvania. Perhaps there are two Georges or the children are not properly assigned, or both.)

The family made its way to Belmont Co. Ohio (10) in 1802. They moved from Belmont to Union Co. Ohio in 1821 with several of his children and their families. (11) George died in 1831 and is buried with his wife Mary (Mercy), who died on 6 July, 1830, in the Amrine Cemetery with veterans of the Revolutionary and other Wars." Quote by Bob Hopkins

As you may not remember, Mary Westlake is the last daughter of Thomas Westlake and Mary Bracee. This book cited above contains alternating chapters of her memoirs and Mr. Kynetts thoughts on her memoirs. She states in her memoirs:

"My grandmother on my Mother's side was Nathanael Bracee, of French descent. His wife was Elizabeth Crandall, of Hartford, Connecticut. My Grandmother Bracee died when my mother was only fourteen years old, she being the eldest of eight children, all girls but one. Grandfather got rid of his children somehow and soon after enlisted and went into Washington's Army, then lying in New York. Mother never heard from him afterward. She, thrown on the hard cold world without anyone to care for her, married young; I think not quite seventeen, being born in September, 1762, and married in June, 1779.
"My father and mother were married June, 1779, somewhere in New Jersey, I think in the town of Elizabeth. They had a family of nine children, five sons and four daughters. I was the youngest. Their names were Elizabeth, Sarah, Thomas, Samuel, Joseph, James, Welling, Nancy and Mary. "I was born in the "Big Levels," Greenbriar Co., West Virginia, October 2, 1801."

It goes on to tell stories about her childhood, one of which was a dream at the age of 4 about the devil trying to take her away! The first time she saw an elephant she freaked out because it had cloven hooves like the devil in her dream.

Note* Mary Westlake was ill with inflammation of the bowels. James doctored her back to health after dismissing the probably drunk doctor. Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 100-103. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'In June of 1828, Husband and myself, with little Mary, started for Delaware. Daturday forenoon he preached at Radnor and started to preach in the afternoon. We got to stop with a Mr. Adams. Mary was taken sick and we gave her herb medicine, but she grew worse. Your father went on next morning and filled his appointment and then started for the afternoon preaching place. 'We had to go down a long slope, at the bottom of which was a marshy place bridged with round logs--a 'corduroy' bridge. At the top of the hill a half dozen young people, boys and girls on their way to church, frightened the horse with their laughter. The animal ran down hill, and notwithstanding his strength, Husband could not stop him. The harness broke and the buggy ran against the horse's heals, making him almost crazy wild. Husband managed to turn him to one side, but the buggy struck a stump, throwing myself and the baby out. 'I did not lose my presence of mind, but as I fell, striking on my right side and much hurt, I whisked the baby over my head so she fell on top and was not injured. The buggy was broken apart, but Husband held onto the lines and was dragged on his face over the ground and bridge until the lines broke in each hand. 'His clothes were torn, his watch was broken to pieces. The horse ran on, with the thills and single tree striking him at every step, until men gathered for service saw him and knew he belonged to Mr. Gilruth. But no one dared try to stop him until one man ran out and, clasping the animal about the neck, hung on until others came to his help. 'Of course Husband must have been hurt, but he always made light of anything he could bear and so preached as if nothing had happened. The service was held in the house of a brother of Mr. Adams, a Mr. Elijah Adams, and I was taken to a bedroom in his house where I laid to hear Husband's voice in preaching and thought about his torn clothes. 'Mary grew worse with dysentery. Next morning the parts of the broken buggy weree placed on Mr. Elijah's Adams' big wagon and were placed on top. Thus we made our advent into Delaware, stopping at the house of Mrs. Gordon (mother of Clara Gordon, whom some of my children knew at school in Worthington--'the Ladies Seminary.' Clara was not born until some years later). The horse was called 'Dick' and was the animal for which the horse I brought from home was swapped. He always would run away afterwards when he had a chance. 'After getting to Mrs. Gordon's on Monday morning, your father went on to fill other appointments, not thinking that Mary was seriously ill, but advising me to send for a doctor if she got worse. I did so that afternoon. The child was standing by my knee when he came. He looked at her and ordered a dose of calomel. My baby never stood on her feet again. 'Ah, that was a horrid night to me! As I sat in the rocking chair holding the litte dear in my arms, a dog howled right under the window of my room. Three times he gave that dismal howl. How could I help being startled! 'I laid down with her in my arms and dreamed that I was sitting in a room in Mrs. Bixby's home and baby was lying on a little bed by my side. Husband came in and baby opened her beautifuly big brown eyes and smiled on him. She held out her little arms; he took her up and fondled her a little and laid her in my arms. Just as he laid her down, she went into a spasm. I woke up with the dread of that spasm. 'Mrs. Gordon was not well, so the next day I did got to Mrs. Bixby. She was my most inimiate friend in Delaware. One Thursday we sent word to Husband and he got there Friday forenoon and my dream was fulfilled! He came into the room--Baby opened her eyes and smiled and held out her arms. He took her up, caressed her and laid her in my arms and she immediately went in a spasm. 'Spasm after spasm followed until Sunday afternoon. Then she died. We (Husband and I), were bending over her little face. She opened her clear, intelligent eyes and smiled at us, then closed them as if asleep. We dropped on our knees and Husband, in calm, solemn prayer, gave her spirit to God. This was the 29th June; she was less than thirteen months old. 'It was not because she died but because it was really so, that we believed her to be the handsomest and most forward or all our children. We buried her in the burial ground (not very far distant from Mr. Bixby's house), which as I remember, was situated on a high knoll and enclosed with a paling. If any of my children ever go to Delaware and go to the old burying ground, perhaps they may ifnd a small, white marble tombsone with her name, 'Mary--Daughter of J. & M. Gilruth' and a partly blown rose cut on it. 'When we went back home without our Babe, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, who had slept in our house at night so it might be safe for Hattie and Helen and Miss Dunlevey, said that one night as they laid in my bed, they heard three distinct raps, and the Judge said to his wife, 'the baby is dead.' However that may be, we never heard strange noises there afterward.' Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 111-112. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'The removal from Putnam was a great disappointment to me. Moving was so hard on me. We wished to visit our mothers again that Fall--so before Conferance of 1832, we started. After passing throught Chillicothe, we had to cross Paint Creek which, when full, was a pretty large stream. I will give my Husband's words, taken from his diary--'In crossing Paint Creek the water came up six or eight inches on the bed of the wagon which, being pretty light and not fastenend down, was not to our advantage. I had teh presence of mind to give time for the bed to fill--that with my weight saved us.' I shall never forget crossing Paint Creek at that time--three litle children with ourselves.' Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 112-113. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'I went out to bring in their breakfast. I sat the victuals on the table. I did not then know, nor do I now know what they looked like. While sitting at the table, he began again in a sarcastic tone, indicating that I was much elated that my Husband was made Presideing Elder. 'I asked, 'What makes you think so?' ''Because you turned so white when I told you.' 'That aroused my indignation. Said I, 'The Conferance has made sole-leather of my husband long enough and we have submitted without saying a word, but this I resent and if I had the power to act as I feel, Detroit District might find a Presiding Elder where it could. I would never go one step.'' Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 121-122 They 'traveled on what was called the 'Zanesville Pike' to Columbus, thence through Delaware, Marion, Upper Sandusky (or Wyandotte Mission), Tiffin, Lower Sandusky (now Freemont), through the Balck Swamp to Perrysburg at the head of Maumee Bay.' They 'had left Helen at French Grant with her Grandmother Gilruth, so that we had our three children--the eldes, our dear Harriet, being eight years old. Somewhere on this journey, althought I have forgotten the place, we came up a steep hill down which the road led.' 'Husband and I got out of the wagon to light the load, leaving the babe with Hattie. Naomi, a restless little thing, there years old, crept to the front and, trying to peep out, lost her balance and fell right across the wagon track. 'Husband saw he could not snatch her up in time, so he caught and lifted up the fore whell of that heavily loade dwagon with one hand and, with the other, snatched the child away. This all happened so quickly that although looking at it, I could not take it in until afterward.' *** 'We reached Perrysburg at the head of Maumee Bay, on Lake Erie. This was the first appointment of the Detroit District and Husband told the Preacher what time he would hold the quarterly meeting there. We crossed the Maumee River by Ferry, but there was a ford about a half mile distant which was dangerous because of spaces between the flat rocks in the bed of the river, where the horses' feet would slip through sometimes.' 'At Maumee city, Husband also left word of the time for Quarterly Meeting. From thence we went on to Monroe on the River Raisin in Michigan. Here we learned that it would be better to make our home in Ann Arbor, Washeenew County, than in Detroit, because Ann Arbor was a little neraer the center of the District. Indeed if I remember right, the District embraced all the lower Peninsula of Michigan, and part of the upper. Husband's most distant Mission was on Lake Superior. Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 125. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'Ann Arbor (about the size of Wrothington, I think, when we went there in 1837) was divided by the River Huron into Upper and Lower Ann Arbor. We arrived in the Upper part (that is on the tope ofthe Bluff) which had been laid out into streets and blocks. The portion next the river, or the river bottom, was not yet laid off.' Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 126. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'There was no house ready for the Presiding Elder in town. So, for the winter, your father rented part of Mrs. Dr. Lord' brick house, one fourth of a mile from the village. She was a widow. Dr. Lord had died not long before. Afterward we rented a house in town. 'The years spent in Ann Arbor were the most pleasant, taking it altogether, I had spent since entering the Itinerancy. The people were cultivated, intelligent Easterners--very kind to us. I was young--only thirty one and girlish, even with three children. The young girls from eighteen years and up frequently spent the day with me.' Taken from 'The Past is Prologue' pp 135. Mary Westlake Gilruth writes: 'Your father made it a rule to visit his parents and mine once a year, as along as they lived. We went to French Grant in 1833. We learned that Helen had engaged herself to a young man of French extraction. She was so young that Husband insisted on bringing her home with us. But his Mother advised against it. 'She thought that all things considered, Helen would be better married to her choice. He was a nice young fellow--named Fredric Didway. The correct name was Duduit (prounced Dudwee) but it became Anglicized into Didway. So, Husband giving his consent, I went with him to Burlington on the Ohio River and then the county seat of Lawrence County, where we purchased such outfit as he would give her. 'Her wedding dress was what is now called 'Victoria Lawn.' I made it myself, and I also made her underclothes--and washed and done up such as required. I took cold by doing so, and was too sick either to go to the church where your Father married her, or even to sit up at the wedding dinner. I was confined to my bed in the opper story two weeks, during which time little Hattie was my only attendant; because Husband was taken with cholera. He almost lost his life and every energy was bent to his care. It was sometime in November when we started home. 'Husband was able to walk some when we started and could sit and drive; but I had to be lifted into the wagon although I could sit up. It was a slow, tedious, cold journey. We did not reach Ann Arbor until sometime in December.1
