Henry Eglin ran a store in the Town of Edinburg at the cross roads at the stone Bridge over Bleecher Creek for a period of time being the second owner after 1842 (Ref #10).
 

In the 1850 Town of Edinburg census Henry is listed with his parents Bartholemew and Jane. Henry was 27 , a hotel keeper and had a wife Theda age 20 . It was likely Henry Eglin that was shown on a 1856 map of the Town of Edinburg with a hotel on the West side of the road that ran southwest from Beecher's Hollow (Edinburg) and was just south of Beecher Creek.

Henry was Town Clerk of Edinburgh in 1859 (History of Saratoga County (1878 reprint 1979)
 

Henry was listed in the 1860 Census of the Town of Edinburg as age 37 hotel keeper, real estate valued at $3200 and personal property worth $525. With him was his wife Theda 29, daughter Georgianne age 3, Theda's brother, Ansel Olmstead age 26, a farmer and a domestic, Moriah Mellen age 21.

Henry also ran a drug store in Northville for number of years. He moved back to Edinburg where he died in November 1882. Theda moved back to Northville about 1888 (Ref #31). Henry acquired his father Bartholemew's property at Beechers Hollow (12 acres on the east side of the road between Beechers's Hollow and Fish House in Nov 1878 in his wife's Theda name.

Theda Olmstead was born 6 May 1831 in the Town of Edinburgh and was the daughter of Thomas Olmstead and Adelia Kennicut. (Ref #31) (Ref #22B). Theda died 17 July 1900 of a heart attack at her son's Burnett Eglin at Northville and is also buried in the Clark School House Cemetery (Ref #2). It is likely that Theda Olmstead was a descendant of Samuel Olmstead who settled near the present village of Northville in the Town of Northampton, Fulton County in 1788 (Ref #12)
 
 

PARENTS

Cornelius Eglin #1.5 and Margaret Ann (Peggy) Dolson

BORN

23 March 1827 (obit) or 2 Feb 1828 (death certificate) near Woodstock Oxford County

See Ref #33

MARRIED

26 Feb 1846 in Porter County to Mahala Catherine Edwards (altho her obit gives her name as Catherine M.) born 16 May 1829 near Woodstock Canada.

DIED

Centre Twp Porter County 11 Jan 1903 (he was blind for 48 years) (for some reason unknown his father name on his death certificate was listed as Frank Eglin). His mother's name was correctly listed as Anna Dolson.

BURIED

Maplewood Cemetery Valparaiso along with his wife Mahala (Edwards) who died 4 November 1914 at Valparaiso In.

CHILDREN

#3.5.1.1 Esther Eglin born 1848. It appears that she went by the name Jane (Jennie) when she was married and in her adult life (only solution to the missing "Esther" and fact Jane Eglin Peer G/S reads 1848-1926)
 

.2 John Eglin died infancy
 
 
 

.3 * Franklin P. Eglin born Valparaiso 19 August 1853.
 

In the 1850 Porter County Census enumerated with John and Mahalia was Esther A. Eglin age 2. On January 2 1857 Mahala Catherine Eglin was baptized into the Valpariso Baptist church
 

The 1860 Porter County census lists John age 33, wife Mahiday age 31 both born Canada, children Esther Eglin age 12 and Franklin Eglin age 7 both children born Indiana. John was a property owner but no occupation given (likely farmer)
 

The 1870 Porter County Census Center Twp lists

John Eglin age 43 Farmer Value of real estate $1600 Value of Personal Property $650,

Born Canada , blind

Mahala C. Eglin age 41 Keeping house born Canada

Esther J. Eglin at home age 22 born Indiana

Franklin P. Eglin age 16 Farm labourer

Hannah Edwards age 61 at home born Canada (Mahala's mother)

Albert McCelland age 11 Born Indiana, cannot write (a stray?)
 
 
 

Betty Williams advises that Newspaper obits for John and Catherine state that they had only 3 children 2 sons 1 dau, John, Frank and Mrs Perry Peer.

A notation in family records (Ref #31) states that in 1851 Thomas and John Eglin visited Batholemew Eglin's children after returning from California. John had $5000 and Thomas $3000 which they had made in New York City which that carried in a money belt.(wonder if they actually had been to the gold fields in California, RGM)

Also in Porter County Records (Ref #33) In 1886 John Eglin and his wife were and had been for some time living at the Hamlet of Cherry Glen Centre Twp. John was Baptist by Religion.

The Isaac Edwards family went to Porter County (likely from Oxford County Ontario) when Catherine Edwards was 9 years old (c 1838) (there was an Edwards Family in Zorra c 1828 but they are shown as property owners in 1857 Tremaine's map of Zorra. This is very likely the family that went to Indiana).

Isaac Edwards and Hannah Wilsey were married in Zorra Twp Oxford County Ontario on 21 July 1832. (Ref London District (Ontario) marriage Records) Witnesses were John Mathers and Henry Wilsey.

As Mahalia was born in 1829 one wonders if she was the daughter of Hannah by a previous marriage (or perhaps Isaac by a previous marriage. (Thus Isaac may have been her father or Step father). Isaac Edwards is not listed in 1828 Militia rolls but a "Nelson Edwards" age 19 is listed in the Zorra area of the Oxford Militia records of 1828 Whether Isaac was not in Ontario or was too young for the Militia is not known (you were supposed to be 19).

Isaac however was a witness at Nelson's marriage in 1834 in Zorra. The only Henry Wilsey found in the 1828 militia records was in Leeds County Ont Also listed in London District Marriage Records as being "Of Zorra" were Katherine Edwards married in 1834 to Alexander Wilson and Mary Edwards married Oct 1837 to Aaron Kened , the later with Cornelius Eglin and Isaac Edwards as witnesses.
 

It is extremely likely that Isaac and his siblings were related to Millicent Edwards who was born c 1783 and who married Samuel Dolson

Hannah Wilsey Edwards (born c 1809 in Canada) remarried after Isaac's death to John Casbon who died 7 Feb 1888 in Porter County. Hannah died 5 April 1888 and 2 of her 6 children survived (Mrs John Eglin and Mrs Stevens (Stephens). The Edwards lived at Loux Crossing Porter County . Hannah's daughter Esther Ann Edwards married 3 Oct 1850 to Fernado C. Stephens in Porter County In Sept 1857 Isaac Edwards transferred to Hannah a portion of Section 15 Twp 35 and in 1867 Hannah transferred the land to Enoch Edwards

(perhaps her son ?)

By 1880 he was operating a stage line between Corvallis and Albany Oregon.

(He seems to have make enough money so that his bio would be published in the " History of Benton County". Most county histories featured paid biographical sketch of the payor)

He was the subject of a bio in the History of Benton County by David Fagan of Portland in 1885
 

Phoebe Blachly was born 11 January 1830 in Wayne Ohio the daughter of William Boyd Blachly (born 25 July Menham Morris County N.J. and Elizabeth Bartholomew born 17 July 1790 at Harrisburg Pa. She died 15 September 1886 at Corvallis Or. (posting by Sue Ericksen on Roots Web connect Jan 2000)

CHILDREN

#3.5.4.1 presumed child Lovena A. Eglin who married 14 June 1881 at Yakima Washington to G.J. Warren (tho she could have been daughter of Abrahram Dolson Eglin see after)
 

The following is very likely a child of either George W. Eglin or Abraham Dolson Eglin, his brother, (info from Vital Records index by Intellectual Reserve Inc. via Ronald Plimley

Jan 1999 see Reference #40

Wayzata Eglin who married 20 November 1888 at Yakima Washington to John Ernsberger
 

It appears that George W. Eglin may have also gone west and was living in the Yakima Washington area by 1881 near his brothers Abraham Eglin and James Monroe Eglin if the presumed child is his.

Aber in his history of Hamilton County gives the following briefs

page #369 William J. Eglin (likely meant to be William T. as no William J. found to date), appointed overseer of Road District #2 in the Town of Benson shortly after its formation in 1860
 

page #373 William T. Eglin was appointed postmaster at Benson Center when it was reopened on 1 August 1871. He was succeeded by his daughter Alice T.

70 acres in Lot 72 of the Benson Tract in the Town of Benson to his son Emmett S. Eglin

(a mile north of Benson Center at intersection of Fulton County Road 125 and Hamilton County Road 6).

On page 358 of history of Hamilton County "a" Wm. Eglin is shown as a resident at about this location (Lot 72). As he and members of the family were buried at Upper Benson (Ref #1B) ,it must be assumed that he lived on or near Lot #72.
