In 1675-6 Samuel served as a Captain in the Militia of Milton in King Philip's War, besides the following story, Capt Wadsworth participated in several Indian skirmishs throughout Massachusetts until the following....As the story is stated, by his son Benjamin(President of Havard College in the early 1700's), Capt. Wadsworth was sent from Boston with 50 men to releive Marlborough. After marching 25 miles, they were informed that the enemy had gone toward Sudbury,MA; so without stopping to take any rest, they pursued after them. On coming near the town, a party of enemy were discovered, and pursued about a mile into the woods, when all of a sudden they were surrounded on all side by nearly 500 Indians. With no chance of escape, this little band of brave men under the command of Capt Wadsworth now resolved to fight to the last man. They gained an eminence, which they maintained for sometime. While night was appoarching, they began to scatter, which gave the enemy the advantage, and nearly everyone was slain. The Battle of Green Hill, as it was known, was a dreadful blow to the country. President Wadsworth erected a monument where this battle was fought and his father was killed. The insciption reads, "Captain Wadsworth of Milton, his Lieutenant Sharp of Brookline, Capt Broclebank of Rowley, with about 26 other soldiers, fighting for the defence of their country, were slain by the Indian enemy April 18, 1676, and lye buried in this place." Capt Wadsworth left an estate valued at L1248, including his farm of 300 acres at Milton.[

Notes:

In 1774, at the age of 10, David was a member of William Billings' Sacred Music School in Stoughton, David is listed under the heading,"Singers of Counter."(possibly todays equivalant of Alto). By 1786 he was a member of the Stoughton Musical Society.

David was a charter member of the Rising Star Lodge F. & A.M Dec 1799 and present at the first meeting in Stoughton,Mass in January 1800 (also present was Paul Revere) where he was elected Senior Deacon. Today it is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in Massachusetts.

1800 census of Canton, MA (formed from Stoughton in 1797) shows David (26-44) with one male under 10, one male 10-15, three females under 10, and one female 26-44.

David moved to Vermont about 1810, from Canton, MA where he was a farmer, along with his brother, Elisha (also from Canton).

1810 census of Chittenden, Rutland Co., Vermont shows David with two males under 10, one female under 10, two females 10-15, and female 26-44.

1820 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (45 and over), one female 10-15; one female 16-25; one female 45 and over (Eleanor).

1830 census of Pittsford, Rutland Co.,Vermont shows David (60-69), one female 20-29 and female 60-69 (Eleanor).

In the fall of 1831 he moved with his wife and widowed daughter, Lucy (and two children), to Fredericktown, Ohio where his children Samuel, David, and Azuba already resided. Not clear if they made it to Fredericktown before the death of their son, David. Appears several family members died between 1830 and 1832.

David was appointed Guardian of his son David's children. Court records in Knox County (Box 11, #273) receipts were submitted by David Sr. between 1834 and 1839Oct31 for purchases (shoe repairs, clothes, schooling, etc.) for Eliza and Timothy. In Oct1834 paid taxes on a schoolhouse he built in District No.1 on the property of his son, David Jr. Those expenses were approved 22Oct1840 by the court. No other guardian receipts noted. As guardian in 1837(20Feb) sold at auction property belonging to the heirs of his son, David Jr.
In June 1842, Timothy Burr and Absolom Thrift were appointed guardians of Timothy B. Wadsworth aged 16 (Eliza was over 18 at that point), which leads us to conclude that David Sr most likely died that year or before (most likely 1840).

1840 census, not found in Knox County, Ohio.

Mrs. Eliza Potter died at her home in this place April 6th, aged 77 years. She was born in this town and lived here all her life with the exception of five years, which she lived in Seneca County. Mrs. Potter was a member of the M. E. church and a pure devoted Christian. It is not necessary to eulogize a woman like Mrs. Potter as the pure and quiet Christian life she lived tells more than feeble tongue or pen can tell. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved children who are left to mourn a kind, loving mother. Besides the three daughters and three grandchildren she leaves one brother, George Burditt and one sister, Mrs. P. Alien and a number of niece and nephews to mourn the loss of a loved one.

History of Knox Co., Ohio (N.N. Hill, 1881), page 268
"There was an enemy in Mexico more dreaded by our soldiers than the Mexicans. It was the tarantula. The tarantula belongs to the family of the spider. In Italy it is comparatively small and not esteemed dangerous; but in Mexico it attains a size that an ordinary pint cup would scarcely cover. The back and legs are covered with a long hair of a reddish color, and the eyes project from its head. One morning T. Burr Wadsworth, a solidier in Kenton's company, called at the hospital and complained at what appeared to be a carbuncle on his cheek. Surgeon Trevitt told him that it was not sufficiently ripe to lance, but applied some lotion.
A few hours later Wadsworth returned, with his face and head badly swollen. Trevitt applied the lance, pouring ammonia on the wound. In the meantime a large tarantula was found in Wadsworth's blankets. Stupor set in; the poor fellow died, and company B had to mourn the loss of one of its best soldiers."

Won Best Speaker--Club 873-F on 6/28/05.
By Bill Baxter

"Isaiah Cornell was born in 1801. He had a son named Captain M. Eugene Cornell, who was an unsung war hero of the American Civil War.

Fellow Toastmasters and honored guests....

Eugene Cornell was born on April 11, 1842 . He was not a famous person himself, but he had an uncle who was very famous. His name was Ezra, the brother of Isaiah. Ezra Cornell founded a major university in Ithaca, NY; on a hill overlooking Lake Cayucas. You have probably heard Cornell University's Alma Mater Song, "High Above Cayucas Waters."

After, Eugene Cornell grew up, he became an Officer in the Union Army. In 1862, after the outbreak of the American Civil War, Capt. Eugene Cornell served under General McClellan, who at that time, headed up the Union Forces in The Eastern Campaign, but was always at odds with Honest Abe Lincoln. It was during this time in 1862, that The Union Army was in desperate need of a victory in the East, as the Confederate Army under General Lee had a pretty good stronghold on the Eastern Campaign. As desperate as the Union was for a victory, the South was just as desperate to maintain their stronghold in the East, because in the Western Campaign, The Union Army under General Ulysses S. Grant was dominating the Confederate Army. And so, the two sides met head on at a place in Maryland called Antietam Creek, on Sept. 17, 1862.

The North and the South fought each other at very close range. The Battle of Antietam lasted one day, and I have to say, it was a massacre. The Battle of Antietam was the bloodiest battle of the entire Civil War, and the bloodiest one-day battle in the History of America. A total of 3,650 dead soldiers, Blue and Gray, littered the countryside surrounding Antietam Creek. At least 17,300 people were wounded at the Battle of Antietam. Although the losses were heavy on both sides, General McClellan and his Union Army had obtained their much needed victory at Antietam Creek. This prompted Abraham Lincoln to write his Emancipation Proclamation, which would free all of the slaves in America.

One of the soldiers who died at the Battle of Antietam was Captain Eugene Cornell. There were no confetti brass bands, no medals, just a man who willingly gave his life for his country, and for Abe Lincoln's Cause, which was to reunite a country which was torn apart by slavery and secession. That is my definition of an unsung hero. An unsung war hero is one who willingly lays down his life for his country, without expecting anything in return, whether he lives to tell about it or not. Capt. Cornell did not live to tell about it; but, he was indeed an unsung war hero.

Capt. Cornell had a nephew whose name was George Cornell. George was born in 1854, and was 8 years old, when his uncle died at The Battle of Antietam. When George grew up, he had a daughter named Myrtle Cornell who was born in 1892. Myrtle married a Navy Man by the name of Chief Warrant Officer, Leroy Edwin Baxter--Grampa Baxter to me. Myrtle Cornell, who became Myrtle Cornell Baxter, was my Grandma. Capt. Eugene Cornell was Grandma's Great Uncle and my Great Greet Great Uncle. Capt. Cornell and I are both part of "Uncle Ezra's Family Tree" which grows on top of a hill, "High Above Cayucas Waters." And so, I created this Civil War Website, and named it the Capt. M. Eugene Cornell Memorial Civil War Showcase. During this upcoming Fourth of July Holiday, Let us remember those "Unsung War Heroes" who gave their lives for the freedom which we share here in America."



HDQRS. ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND NEW YORK STATE VOLS.,
Camp in Field near Antietam Creek, September 18, 1862.

Colonel STAINROOK,
Commanding Second Brigade.

COLONEL: I have the honor to report that in the action of yesterday the One hundred and second New York State Volunteers entered the field for duty, according to orders, at 6.30 a. m., in common with the rest of the brigade; that we marched to the woods held by the rebels in close column by division, and that line of battle was formed by deployment of column. While the line was forming, under fire of sharpshooters of the enemy, Captain M. Eugene Cornell, of Company D of this regiment, fell, dead, at the front of his command while bringing them into line, being shot through the head. After line was formed we advanced in order, driving the rebel before us, this regiment going, however, to the left of the brigade, and, after passing through the woods, taking the left of the burning building in the field beyond. From this building our men pursued the enemy to the corn-field in advance, where the One hundred and second halted and commenced firing at a battery which was playing on the right of the brigade, just beyond the corn-field. This battery retired immediately after our opening fire upon it.

At this time I marched the regiment by the right flank to rejoin the brigade, which was in position behind the battery of Parrott guns, to the right of the corn-field. Soon after the brigade moved forward past the battery, and drove the enemy through the woods beyond. The One hundred and second, however, remained supporting the battery, by order of General Sumner's aide. This battery retired after expending its ammunition, and was replaced by a battery of brass guns, which remained in position about twenty minutes, and returned, being threatened by a brigade of the enemy, the right of this brigade being out of ammunition and unsupported, retiring at the same time. The One hundred and second also retired, joining in with the rest of the brigade, and were reformed into line by the general commanding division (General Greene), at the rear of the woods behind the burning building. The brigade was here rested, and, after some two hours, was again marched one-half mile to the rear, and, after forming line, arms were stacked and ration given out.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAS. C. LANE,
Lieut. Col., Comdg. One hundred and second New York Vols.
