Fire Lands of Ohio Pioneers

The Fire Lands or Sufferers' Lands tract was located at the western end of the Connecticut Western Reserve in what is now Ohio. It took the name "Fire Lands" because it was intended as restitution for residents of the Connecticut towns of Danbury, Fairfield, Greenwich, Groton, New Haven, New London, Norwalk and Ridgefield who had lost their homes in 1779 and 1781 due to fires set by British forces during the American Revolutionary War.

In 1792, for the Connecticut "Sufferers," the Connecticut legislature set aside 500,000 acres at the western end of the Western Reserve, consisting of nearly all of the present-day counties of Huron County and Erie County, as well as Danbury Township (Marblehead Peninsula), much of Catawba Island Township (now in Ottawa County, OH) and Ruggles Township (now in Ashland County, OH).

However, very few of the original "Sufferers" ever settled in the Firelands because land-speculators purchased almost all of the original claims for re-sale. On 15 April 1803, the Sufferers, or their heirs, legal agents and purchasers of their deeds formed a corporation to manage the lands to which they were entitled in the newly formed state of Ohio.[1]

The land was later divided into 30 five-mile square survey townships, which were further subdivided into 120 quarters, each containing 4,000 acres. (Note: Although the standard for U.S. survey townships in the Northwest Territory was six-miles square at that time, the older standard for survey townships in the Western Reserve was employed.)

Some of the original townships in the Firelands were named for locations in Connecticut; and some were originally named for the land-speculators who had purchased them. But in some cases, the pioneer settlers took a dislike to these speculators and so changed their township names. Later, after the War of 1812, when villages began to be established here, many of these villages were also named for Connecticut villages.

In 1811, Huron County encompassed the entire Firelands and also included a portion of later Lorain County.  Until 1837, all of the "Fire Lands" would lie within--and therefore co-exist with--Huron County. A drawing was held to determine the land received by each individual.

Below is a list of the members of the Firelands Historical Society of 1865 and 1866. The original lists were published in the Fire Lands Pioneer in March 1865 (pages 84-92) and June 1866 (pages 94-95).

In addition to the below info, the original lists also show (in many cases) the year in which each member settled in the Firelands, as well as their current residence as of 1865-66, regardless whether their birth year or birth place was not reported (therefore blank info below).

An asterisk denoted that the person was already deceased as of either 1865 or 1866.

Original spellings have been retained.

Arms for the Californians

From the Columbia Missouri Statesman
Columbia, Boone Co., MO
published March 8, 1850



"On the 14th March 1849, the Secretary of War caused to be published the following notice, which is of interest to California emigrants:

"War Department, March 14, 1849

"The following regulations will govern in issuing arms and ammunition, under the resolution of Congress, approved March 2, 1849:

"1. Each applicant must send to the War Department an affidavit that it is his bona fide intention to emigrate to Oregon, or California, or New Mexico, as the case may be, and must state distinctly what arms and ammunition he requires.

"2. On receipt of an application and affidavit, as above stated, a sufficient supply of the arms and ammunition designated by him, to arm and equip each applicant, may be delivered to him or his order, on payment of the cost thereof; provided the Government has such arms, and the same can be sold without detriment to the public service; and if not, then the applicant may receive such other arms and ammunition as he shall select, on the same conditions.

"3. Arms and ammunition, furnished as above, will be delivered to each applicant, or to his authorized agent, at the nearest and most convenient arsenal where the arms may be.  The place of delivery desired by the applicant, should be designated." 

"These regulations, we presume, are still in force. At all events we have no knowledge of their repeal.

"Last spring Maj. Wm. Bell, the officer in command at the Arsenal near St. Louis, was authorized to issue arms and ammunition, the above requirements being first complied with by the applicant. We suppose the same officer has the same authority now."

News to Californians

From the Columbia Missouri Statesman
Columbia, Boone Co., MO
published March 8, 1850

"We propose furnishing news from Missouri to the miners in California. Our ability to do so has been demonstrated, and this too during a period of great embarrassment and difficulty in mail transportation. These difficulties, heretofore occasioning delays and failures of the California mails, are now vanishing. Agents have been put upon the line between New York and Chagres [once the chief Atlantic port on the isthmus of Panama--ed. note], to see that mail matter goes forward; and doubtless, the same regulation will exist in a short time between New Orleans and Chagres. The connection then will be unbroken and reliable. The evils complained of at the Isthmus are also effectually remedied.

"Capt. McLean, U.S. Mail Agent for the Pacific mail service, has announced that henceforward there will neither be obstructions nor delays in the transmission of the mail across the Isthmus. Mail service for the interior of California is also in process of improvement. Hence news papers mailed her for subscribers at San Francisco, Sacramento City, Stockton, San Jose, Coloma and other points, whether on the coast or in the interior, may be expected to reach their destination with reasonable certainty.

"What Missourian, and especially what resident of Boone or the counties adjacent, two thousand miles away delving for gold in the valley of the Sacramento or the San Joaquin, can estimate the value of a newspaper received weekly from home?

"Friends write but seldom while the paper is mailed to them weekly. Another important consideration is, that even when friends do write they cannot if they would give the intelligence a paper contains. Single letters cost 40 cents postage each, while the paper containing more news than twenty letters will [sic] coast but three or four cents.

"That the Statesman reached California during the past year, and with reasonable regularity, is abundantly shown by Mr. Russell’s letter published last week.  No fears need be entertained on that point. Many who propose emigrating this spring have already sent in their names.  Those who leave families behind them have ordered two copies---one for their families at home and one for themselves in the mines; for remember, we will give news from California as well as to California.  We suggest to out-going emigrants that one copy of the paper to each mess, although infinitely better than none, is not the best arrangement.

"In nine cases out of ten, messes are disbanded on reaching the mines and the members scatter all over the country. Each man therefore who wants the news had best make sure work of it by subscribing for it "on his own book,” A copy to each man---that’s the doctrine!

"California emigrants throughout the State, who wish to hear from home every week, are invited to send in their names to us, or to either of our agents in the prospective counties, stating the post office in California to which they desire their papers sent.

"Other citizens remaining at home, and wishing to hear the latest news from California and all other quarters, are also invited to become subscribers, for a “good time is coming.”

"To Californians----John S. Jones, of Georgetown, Mo., gives notice that he will furnish provisions and ammunitions to eighty teamsters, for their services across the land route by Fort Hall, to California, and give them one month’s provision after they are discharged in the gold diggings; They are to be discharged as soon as they get there.  Their services to commence on the 25th of April, or sooner if the grass will permit."

Boone County (MO) Californians

[The only changes I have made to this list is to append the term (Dr.) to the end of the person's name rather than at its beginning and to re-alphabetize a stray name or two.] 

From the Columbia Missouri Statesman
Columbia, Boone Co., MO
published March 8, 1850


"We are endeavoring to prepare a full list in alphabetical order of the emigrants who will go to California from Boone County this spring. As yet the list is incomplete, and we would esteem it a favor were our friends to aid us in supplying the deficiencies. Such as are not reported in the list now published will please call either at our office, or at Crow & Jackman’s, Rocheport [Boone Co., MO], or at Sidney Maupin’s, Buena Vista [CA], and leave their own names and those of their messes and neighbors.
