From Irish Names and Surnames 1923
Ó TUATHAIL—I—O Toughill, O Touhill, O Twohill, O Tuale, O Towell, O'Toole, Toughill, Tuohill, Twohill, Toohill, Tohall, Tohill, Towell, Toole, Toal, Toale, &c.; 'descendant of Tuathal' (people-mighty); also written Ó Tuathghail and Ó Tuathghaile; the name of at least two distinct families in Ireland, viz.: (1) Ó Tuathail of Leinster, and (2) Ó Tuathail of Ulster. The O'Tooles of Leinster, who are one of the most illustrious families of that province, derive their name and descent from Tuathal, son of Ughaire, King of Leinster, who died in the year 956. Their clan-name was Ui Muireadhaigh. This afterwards became the designation of their territory, which originally comprised the southern half of the present Co. Kildare. Driven thence soon after the Anglo-Norman invasion by Walter de Riddlesford, they settled in the mountain fastnesses of Wicklow, first in Ui Mail and afterwards in Feara Cualann, where in alliance with their kinsmen, the O'Byrnes, they carried on incessant warfare with the English for a period of four hundred years, and preserved their independence as a clan down to the close of the reign of Elizabeth. In the reign of James I, the whole of 'Fercuolen' was confiscated and granted to Sir Richard Wingfield. The O'Tooles, however, retained considerable property down to the Cromwellian and Williamite confiscations. A branch of the family settled at an early period in West Connacht, and are still numerous in Mayo and Galway. The Ulster family of the name is, according to MacFirbis, a branch of the Cinel Eoghain.

THE LINCOLN KINSMAN (September, 1940), number 27, is a newsletter that addresses Abraham Lincoln history. It contains entries from an old estray book that listed the place of residence of many Hardin County residences from 1806-1815.The Mill Creek community was comprised of rugged land lying south and west of the Salt River and bordered on the east by Bullitt County, hemmed in on the north by the Salt River Hills and the "knobs" familiarly known as Muldraugh's Hills. Mill Creek flows into the Salt River a few miles upstream from West Point.
It is entirely located within the confines of the big Fort Knox Military Reservation. The former farms are now part of the training grounds and artillary firing precludes any one living there.

John Scott, first son of William and Priscilla (Bunch) Scott, married Elizabeth
(Betsy) Hibbs, 9 Feb 1812, Hardin Co., KY. Joseph Emery was surety for Miss
Betsy Hibbs.Kentucky Land-Office Warrant No. 660, 15 Jun 1816, granted John Scott 68 acres
of land by survey. Said land was in the County of Hardin, on the waters of Mill
Creek, bordering on William May's lines of 1600 acre survey, as well as Peter
Shepherd's and Stovall'd line. On page 64 of the Hardin Co. Plat Book, the
survey is described and William Scott, father, and James Handy are shown as
housekeepers which also listed Anderson Scott and James Scott, brothers, as
chain carriers. 1 Apr 1826, John Scott and Elizabeth, his wife, sold their 68
acres for $135.00 to Samuel Hibbs. This is no doubt a relative of Elizabeth,
his wife. After this, it seems John fell upon difficult times as he lost his
personal property through a mortgage he could not pay. He does not appear on
the 1850 census of Hardin Co., KY.

Anderson Scott probably went to Kentucky about 1796. After his marriage to
Jane Maxfield, 1816, they lived near his parents on the waters of Mill Creek
(where Fort Knox now stands). Sometime after 1834 (tax record of Hardin Co., KY)
he and his family left Kentucky and settled in Vigo Co., IN. The following are
census records for Anderson Scott and family:

(2 children born between 1830-1840;
2 oldest children not in household)
Harriett Elizabeth Scott was born 20 Dec 1840, according to her own account;
therefore, that would bring the total to 7 children; only 2 children are known:
Lucinda and Harriett Elizabeth.On 17 Mar 1856, Rhoda Scott and Elizabeth Scott, sisters of Anderson Scott,
in a deposition to the Hardin Co., KY Circuit Court concerning the estate of
their deceased parents, William and Priscilla (Bunch) Scott, stated that their
brother, Anderson Scott, was deceased. They named Lucinda and Harriett Scott as
heirs of Anderson Scott stating that he may have left other heirs which were
unknown to the petitioners.Jane Scott brought Harriett Elizabeth Scott to Scott Co., IL about 1853. Jane
was supposedly a widow at that time which would indicate that Anderson died
bef 1853. He and his family cannot be found on the 1850 census of either
Illinois or Indiana.

James McWilliams, a Revolutionary War ancestor of many Hardin Countians of
the present and past generations died at his home on Mill Creek, in Hardin
County, August 26,1843. He was a son of Hugh McWilliams, who most likely was
born in the north of Ireland, of Scotch Irish stock and who was brought to
America by his father, John McWilliams, who brought his family from that
place to America at some time between 1710 and 1730 and is said to have
settled in North Carolina. Hugh McWilliams is said to have settled in
Culpepper County, Virginia at some later date. (Some govt. records list Hugh
McWilliams as living in Henry County, Virginia.) Hugh and his wife Mary were
parents of six children: John, James, David, Bettie, Sallie, and Jane. Bettie
married a Mr. Jamison, most likely a brother of Martha Jamison, whom James
McWilliams married in Henry County Virginia on the first of January 1780.
In a declaration made May 29, 1833 before the Hon. Justice of the Peace for
Hardin County in Kentucky James McWilliams aged 71 years, in order to obtain
the benefits of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832, declared that he
entered the service of the United States in the fall of the year 1778 when he
was just sixteen years old; that Captain McDonald had command of the company
and Lieutenant Williams was the next in command. The Company was attached to
Colonel Butler's North Carolina Regiment. McWilliams was marched to Cross
Creek in North Carolina where he was stationed, guarding barracks. He was
living in Orange County, N.C. at the time he entered service. He was
discharged at the end of his three months term of enlistment, however he
later lost his discharge papers. From: Two Centuries in Elizabethtown and Hardin County, KentuckyRevolutionary War 1778 (age 16) NC Warrant #3026 and 1781 VA

Cumberland Gap. They spent a couple of years in central Kentucky before
moving on to Hardin County and settling on land at the mouth of Valley Creek
in Nolin River. A house was built at that place; however, due to the
prevalence of malaria, the family moved to land in the Muldraugh's Hill
section, the Cedar Creek---Mill Creek area.
James and his wife Martha Jamison were parents of ten children: Mary (Polly),
Jane, Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth, James, Martha, Sarah and two named Anna, one
having died. Many present day Hardin County residents trace their families to
these children. From: Two Centuries in Elizabethtown and Hardin County, Kentucky
- - - - - -THE LINCOLN KINSMAN (September, 1940), number 27, is a newsletter that addresses Abraham Lincoln history. It contains entries from an old estray book that listed the place of residence of many Hardin County residences from 1806-1815.
The Mill Creek community was comprised of rugged land lying south and west of the Salt River and bordered on the east by Bullitt County, hemmed in on the north by the Salt River Hills and the "knobs" familiarly known as Muldraugh's Hills. Mill Creek flows into the Salt River a few miles upstream from West Point.
It is entirely located within the confines of the big Fort Knox Military Reservation. The former farms are now part of the training grounds and artillary firing precludes any one living there.

The tradition that has been handed down from one generation to another is: The first MacWilliams who came to America was banished from Scotland because he displeased the King. He stole the bailiffs daughter who notified him of the edict married her and came to America and we trust "lived happily ever after".At the time of the American Revolution there were four brothers, the three oldest were in Washington's Army. We are descendants of the youngest.
The clan lived in the northern part of Scotland, that is the highlands, and were called Highlanders. James MacWilliams Sr. was proud of being a Highlander. He pronounced it Helandir and spoke with a decidedly Scottish burr. He was born June l, 1762 and died August 28, 1842. A chautauqua lecturer who had lectured in Scotland said the clan is still there. Some say in Ayshire.
A Boston MacWilliams told me they originally came from Normandy with William the Conquerer.
The name should be spelled MacWilliams, but somewhere the a fell out. Mac is a Scottish prefix which means -"son of" and was used before surnames were given to people. MacWilliams means son of Williams.
There were many who in times of persecution fled to Ireland and are called Scotch-Irish but we are not Scotch-Irish.
James MacWilliams Sr. married Martha Jamison. She was from Maryland and said to be very beautiful. She was born October 17, 1760. Some have her name spelled Jimison but I think that is not correct. From these dates, James MacWilliams Sr. was a son of the Youngest of the four brothers who were sons of the banished one.

Service: While residing in Ninety-Six District South Carolina., enlisted and served as a private with South Carolina Troops as follows:
June 29, 1776, 3 months in Capt Benjamin KILGORE'S company of rangers and spies under Col James WILLIAMS
3 months in Capt Thomas MCCRARY'S Compnay
March 4, 1779 in Capt Benjamin KILGORE'S Company
Discharged Junr 5, 1779He settled on Little Blue River about 2 1/2 miles NW of Manilla, near where the Manilla and Marion road crosses the Little Blue River.
He built and operated a grist mill on a small creek that empties into Little Blue River just above where the road crosses the river (iron bridge now). This mill stood about 1/4 mile East of where this creek empties into Blue River. No doubt some of the timbers of this mill are still buried in this Creek as I saw them many times years ago, when they were almost hidden by gravel. The race for this mill ran along the foot of the hill South of the Creek and traces are still visible. Many quaint stories are told about him. It is said that when a man went to his mill to buy corn, his first question was- have you the money to pay cash for it? If the man said yes, he was told to go to another mill. "You can buy anywhere for cash- I sell to men who can't pay cash and need corn." It is also said that in eating at his table, he insisted that "fat" and "lean" go together when eating meat.
He was a just man (if a bit queer or eccentric). These traits of character were handed down through the generations. Both of my great-grandfathers and both of my grandfathers possessed high traits of character - far above the average - all highly respected and honorable. A. B. Brown- Aug. 16, 1937

James Monroe Harlan, one of Connersville township's substantial and well-to-do farmers, was born on the farm on which he is now living and has lived there the greater part of his life. He is a representative in the third generation of one of the oldest families in Fayette county, the Harlans having been here since the year 1815, one year before Indiana was admitted to statehood, and have therefore been participants in the development of this county from the very beginning of a social order hereabout. He was born on February 10, 1849, son of Enoch and Mary Ann (Honeywell) Harlan, the former of whom was born in that same locality on July 31, 1819, son of Samuel and Nancy (Brown) Harlan, who were among the earliest settlers in Fayette county, having come out here in what then was the "wilds" of the West from their native South Carolina and settling in the woods in what is now Connersville township, this county.
Samuel Harlan was born in Laurens county, South Carolina, April 30, 1772, and grew to manhood and was married there to Nancy Brown and several of their children were born in that county. In 1811 Samuel Harlan and two of his brothers set out on horseback on a prospecting trip into the West, seeking a new location. They proceeded west as far as Mississippi, but not being favorably impressed with the lay of the land in that direction turned and came back north and east, up through Tennessee and Kentucky and on up into Indiana Territory. They were very much taken with the appearance of the rich timber lands in this part of the country and here Samuel Harlan picked out all of section 31 and the northwest quarter of section 6, in what afterward was organized as Connersville township, this county. The nearest land office at that time was situated at Cincinnati and thither he went to secure title to his land. There he paid for his title in gold which he had carried with him in all his journeying through the wilds, and then returned to his old Carolina home, where he began disposing of his interests there and making preparations for settlement on his timber tract back in Indiana. Early in the spring of 1815 he and his family, among whom were the sons, Stephen, Matthew, George and Amos, the latter, then but a babe in arms, being carried on horseback by his eldest sister, started for the West. The household goods were packed in a big Conestoga wagon, substantially built and trimmed with brass, to which was attached a brass-bound and heavily riveted money-box, one of the rivets of which released a secret spring which gave access to the strongbox. Without undue adventure the Harlan family arrived at their destination in the wilderness and on the bank of Village creek, at a point just east of where the bridge over that creek now is located, they "pitched their tent." And tent it literally was, for during the first year of the family's residence in this county and while they were getting ready to build a house, they made their home in a kind of a tent, or shanty, constructed of canvas and poplar bark, supported by poles driven into the ground. Nearby, on the northwest quarter of section 6, there was an extensive pigeon-roost deadening and there, on a tract of about eight acres, the Harlans raised their first crop. They had brought poultry with them and not long after their arrival at their new home in the wilderness they set out for the hamlet of Connersville to dispose of a surplus of eggs, starting through the woods in what they thought was the general direction of the hamlet, but so thick was the timber that they lost their way and presently found themselves back at their own place, having wandered in a circle. By observing the moss on the trees and thus keeping a true course, they later found their way to the hamlet and it was not long until they had a well defined trail to the market place.
Samuel Harlan farmed on that pioneer tract the rest of his life and became early recognized as one of the most substantial and influential settlers in that community. He gave the land for the Village Creek cemetery and there he is buried, his death having occurred on April 18, 1858, he then being eighty-five years, eleven months and twenty-nine days of age at the time of his death. His widow, who was born on November 27, 1778, survived him for about thirteen years, dying on January 12, 1871, she then being then at the great age of ninety-one years, one month and fifteen days. Other children were born to them after they came to Fayette county and they were the parents of eleven sons and three daughters, all of whom grew to maturity. When Grandmother Harlan died she not only had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but several in the fourth generation of her descent.
Enoch Harlan, one of the eleven sons of this pioneer couple and who is mentioned above, grew up in Connersville township amid pioneer conditions and remained a farmer all his life. For some years after his marriage to Mary Ann Honeywell, who also was a member of one of the pioneer families of Fayette county. He continued to live at the old home place, but later traded with one of his brothers and received the farm where his son, James M. Harlan, was born and where the latter now lives. There Enoch Harlan died on February 28, 1851, and his widow survived him but a few years. They were the parents of three children who grew to maturity, those besides the subject of this sketch being Harrison Harlan, who now lives at Kokomo, this state, and Judith, who married Edmund Burk and is now deceased.
James M. Harlan was but a small child when his father died and was but about five years of age when his mother died, and he thereafter was taken care of in the family of his uncle, Samuel Harlan, until he was eighteen years of age, when he started out for himself, presently taking charge of the farm where he was born and where he ever since has made his home. He owns one hundred and ninety-seven and one-half acres of excellent land and has a well-equipped farm plant. In addition to his general farming, Mr. Harlan has given considerable attention to the raising of live stock and has done very well. He and his wife have a very comfortable county home and are quite pleasantly situated.
On January 27, 1870, James M. Harlan was united in marriage to Susanna Agnes Knipe, who was born in Posey township, this county, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Meranda) Knipe, the former of whom was of English parentage and the latter of whom was born in southern Ohio, probably near Higginsport, and who came to this county with her parents, Samuel and Susanna (Shinkle) Meranda, who settled in Posey township in pioneer days, Samuel Meranda getting part of his land there from the government. Thomas Knipe was both a farmer and a cabinet-maker. He died when his daughter (Mrs. Harlan) was eight months of age and his widow survived him less than seven years, Mrs. Harlan thus having been orphaned at almost as tender an age as was her husband.

Died, at her late residence, in Connorsville Township, on the 12th inst., at 2 o'clock A.M. MRS NANCY HARLAN, relict of Samuel Harlan, Sen., deceased, in the 93rd year of her age. The deceased, whose maiden name was Nancy Brown, was born (as we suppose) in Lawrence Co., South Carolina, November 27, 1778, and was married to Samuel Harlan, her late husband when about nineteen years of age, and by whom she had fourteen children, all of which lived to be men and women, grown and married, and all survive her, save two. Yet to but one was granted the privilege to watch by her dying couch, and see her breathe her last. The deceased, after marriage, settled on Duncan's Creek, in Lawrence Co., South Carolina, where God prospered her and gave her hope in Christ and where she united with the Baptist Church, and was baptized in the likeness of Christ's death. On the 2nd day of March, 1813, she started with her husband and nine children for Indiana, and all landed safe in sight of where her late residence now stands, on the 23rd day of April. She resided in a camp until some time in August, when the first cabin was erected on the Harlan homestead. No woman, perhaps, did more, or less complainingly, than did she, to uphold the hands of her husband and elder sons, while they felled the forest and assisted in making
Fayette County what it is today.....the garden spot of Indiana.
After becoming acquainted she united with the Franklin Church, then holding meetings in a log meeting house just below where Nulltown now stands, and continued a member there a few years, when she took a letter and became a constituent member of the Village Creek Regular Baptist Church, of which she was
nominally a member until her death. It was the policy of the deceased and her husband, to settle their sons on lands around them, with the express wish that they should remain while the father and mother lived, but long before the
younger were settled, some of the older had moved away, and though the survivors (save one which is in Kansas) are all in Indiana, yet only three of her children were at the funeral, which was preached on the 13th inst., by her grandson, from Hebrews, 9th chapter, 27th and 28th verses. We believe she had about 150 or 140 grandchildren, a large list of great-grandchildren, and quite a number of great-great-grandchildren.
She often spoke of her doubts and fears, which some of the more self confident construed as an evidence against her acceptance with God, but to her it was a matter of so much importance that she could not help but examine herself, and when she looked to herself in the light of the spirit, she could not help exclaiming with the inspired Apostle, O wretched man or woman that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? But when faith was in lively exercise, and she could view Jesus as her wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, she was wont to break out and sing, and even when her voice was so shattered she could not sing, she would oft repeat the hymn commencing:
"Jesus my all to heaven is gone;
He whom I fix my hopes upon
His track I see and I'll pursue
The narrow way till Him I view."

Data on large, handmade, well worn stone: E. Phares, Died 1825 Age 33Y
It is my belief, based on the following sources, that this is the headstone of Elizabeth Brown Phares. Below is an excerpt from an autobiography written by Elizabeth's daughter, Sarah Phares Stephens:
"Father Phares came from England to New Jersey. My grandfather lived in New Jersey. Grandfather Brown came from Ireland when a boy to South Carolina. My father was a son of William Phares and Mother a daughter of Matthew Brown. I was born in Ohio, Hamilton County, Crosby Township on July 5, 1817. My father lived there until I was eight years old. Mother died, and Father moved to Shelby County, Indiana. I lived there with my father and grandfather till I was 18 years old."... (Signed) Sarah Stephens, Nov 14, 1898

I also have copies of the registration of the orginal deeds to the first land purchased in Shelby Co., IN by both Mathew Brown and Isaac Phares. Mathew's is dated 17 Sept 1825. Isaac's is dated 13 Aug. 1825. Both men are shown as still being residents of Hamilton Co., Ohio. Daughter Sarah would have turned 8 years old in 1825.
Elizabeth's stone is located within the plots of the Brown and Phares families.

age 96 yrsShelby county was very young, in fact had scarcely been organized when the first Brown entered her borders. Robert Brown, a native of North [?-RW] Carolina, was taken to Ohio by his parents in the early decades of the last century. After he grew up, he met Catherine Cotton, also of North Carolina, a girl about his own age and of just the type to make a good wife for a pioneer. They were married in Ohio in the twenties; came to Shelby County where they figured among the very first settlers of the northwestern tier of Townships. Robert Brown helped to lay off and build the original Shelbyville, when it's site presented the appearance of an irredeemable swamp. He took part in blazing the trail between Shelbyville and Rushville, through what would look to a "tenderfoot" as an impenetrable forest. As prime mover in driving stock and hauling produce to Lawrenceburg, he became a figure of importance for those days of long distances and poor transportation. The heavy hauling was done with ox teams and it took a week or more to make the trip to Cinncinati, which is now covered in an hour or two. Shortly after Robert Brown had made his appearance, his parents followed him into Shelby County, and there was quite a colony of new arrivals along the Little Blue River's banks, in Union Township. It included the Browns, old and young, the Cottons, and the Wickers. These three families were the first who located in that part of the county. It kept them all busy as bees to do the hard and exhaustive work that lasted for many years, and was a condition precedent to the later development which has given Shelby county such high rank in the agricultural world. By commanding a company of Home Guards, Robert Brown acquired the title of Captain, and rose to a position of considerable prominence in the community. All in all, he was fairly successful in a financial way; reared a large family successfully; and after a long and useful life was gathered to his fathers at the ripe old age of ninty-six. His wife was about eighty years old when she closed her eyes to this world and she was a fine type of the pioneer mother. The children of this worthy couple were: Nancy, Elizabeth, John W., Jane, Catherine, Mathew C., and William W., all dead but the last named.

One of the widely known citizens of Shelby county is the subject of this sketch, Andrew Hensley, better known as “Squire” Hensley. He was born in Marion county, this state, on February 21, 1843, but when three weeks old the family removed to Union township, Shelby county, and this has been his home for the most part since.
Our subject's father, Andrew Hensley, Sr., was born in Virginia, and came with his parents to Shelby county, Indiana, in pioneer days. Grandfather Hensley later went to Greenup, Illinois, and never returned to Indiana. He and his father were members of the Continental army during the Revolutionary war, and both saw much active service.
Isabel Glidewell (Hensley), Mr. Hensley's mother, was born in South Carolina, December 14, 1798, and when six years of age emigrated with her parents to Virginia. Later the family removed to Ohio, settling in the Miami Valley, from whence they later advanced to Union county. While in Union county Isabel was married to her first husband, Thomas Creek; three children were born to this couple, viz: Mary Ann, David and William. Her husband died there, and later the widow emigrated to Shelby county, Indiana, settling in Union township, where she later married Andrew Hensley, Sr. This union was graced with the following children: Thomas born August 21, 1833; James, born February 1, 1837, died in Kansas, March 27, 1908. Our subject was the next child in the order of birth. The fourth was Eliza Jane, born July 26, 1840, followed by Isabel, who died when young. Mrs. Hensley attained the age of eighty-seven years, and she was a courageous as well as a frugal mistress to the household. Their pioneer experiences were such as were common to the days when wild animals ranged about the cabin at night, and the Indians were still familiar sights in the land. The present homestead is on the old Whetzel trail that ran from Connersville to St. Louis, and was only a blazed trail at the time when this family arrived.
Andrew Hensley had but limited opportunity for education and when fourteen years of age started out to make his own way in the world. His father had died a few months before Andrew's birth, and this made it necessary for the children to lend a helping hand for the care of the family, as soon as they were able.
On March 22, 1868, Mr. Hensley was joined in marriage to Dorothy Wicker, daughter of Samuel and Naomi (Phares) Wicker. She was born in Union township, this county, on May 8, 1840, and has become the mother of the following children: Rosetta, wife of P. J. Theobald; Nora J., wife of C. C. Cherry; Franklin, husband of Florence McDaniel; Perlie J., married M. T. Moore; Samuel A. married Minnie O. Theobald, and Minnie May, wife of Franklin Hankins.
In 1862 Mr. Hensley enlisted in Company A, of the Forty-first Indiana Volunteer Cavalry, and saw three years of hard, active service, during eighteen months of which he was orderly sergeant. He was in the department of the Cumberland under General Sherman, engaged in such conflicts as the ones at Chickamauga and Resaca, and obtained the reputation of being a hard fighter.
Since the war he has engaged in farming, and has a well improved farm of eight acres. He is a Republican in politics, and for twenty-eight years he has filled the office of Justice of the Peace. He is a member of the Christian Church.

John Headlee was born in about 1735 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He married Jerusha Mann in New Jersey about 1753. The Mann family was Puritan stock that moved from Boston to the New Haven Colony and then to Elizabethtown, New Jersey. John and Jerusha lived in Morris County, New Jersey and then moved to near Princeton, probably in Somerset County, New Jersey. John joined the American Army at the beginning of the Revolution. He became ill in the winter of 1776-77 and died before ever seeing action. John and Jerusha had five sons and probably a few daughters as well. After the Revolution, several of the children moved to North Carolina and to Virginia. It appears Jerusha went to Burke County, North Carolina with her son Thomas. She was listed there in the 1800 census.
