Notes for Ephraim WHEDON or WHEATON:

On the Land Patents web site: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/Results.asp?QryId=53667.48

there is an entry for an Ephraim WHEATON in Ingham County, Michigan on the 5/3/1837 made in the Detroit Land Office.  Could it be this Ephraim?  I asked this question originally, and Theresa Wheaton BOHLE has now confirmed that this indeed this Ephraim.

 

Information from Theresa Bohle Wheaton 19/3/2002

"I had trouble locating Ephraim's Revolutionary War records.... - his name is listed as Ephraim "WHEDON".  All the other infromation fits my Ephraim including his wife's name, Eunice PITCHER.  Also discovered that Eunice had a sister who married a "Marshal WHEDON" just two years before she and Ephraim were married.

Notes for EPHRAIM WHEATON OR WHEDON:

Obituary of Ephraim Wheaton

"On the morning of April 27, 1853 at his home in Stockbridge, Ingham County Ephraim Wheaton passed on at the advanced age of 95 years.  Mr. Wheaton was formerly a resident of Niagra Co., New York and immigrated to Michigan in 1838.  He was a soldier in General Washington's army during the last three years of our struggle for independance and was present at the taking of Cornwalles.  He was ever a true patriot and seemed fully to realize the blessing of a free government.  He must be among the last of

Information from Theresa Bohle, March 2006

From Pioneer History of Ingham County, Stockbridge Township and its History Pp718/719

"Notebook of Henry WHEATON tells of Incidents Reminiscent of Very Berginning of Civilization in Northern Portion of Michigan.

Mrs Bertha BRAVENDER of Stockbridge has handed is an article of a reip to the northern part of Michigan made in 1846, by her father, Henry Milton WHEATON.  In the old days Mr. WHEATON, who for many years lived on a farm near Pleasant  Lake, which he took up from the government was surveyor.  He died June 30, 1873.  His parents were natives of Genesee County and moved to Michigan with the fleet of pioneers who settled the territory from New York.

 

It is sometimes hard to realize the character of the wilderness which confronted the pioneers who came to Michigan sixty years ago.  The cleared farm, the well-cultivated country, are far removed from the dense dorests which then covered the country. When one stops to consider the day's works which have been put on the land to reclaim if from the wilderness, the sight of an old-time rail fence give one the backache--and the mere making of miles upon miles of these, which have since been suppplanted by their unpicturesque predessors, the wire fence, was but the edge of the work.

 

Henry was born in Canada, while his parents were making their way to Michigan.  As a young man he followed the occupation of surveyor, and it was a a member of a party surveyong the lands along the south shore of Lake Superior  that this memoir was written.  It is a little leather-bound pocket book convenient for carrying in the pack of the pioneer surveyor, and the entries were painfully inscribed, by the light of a camp fire, at the end of a hard day's tramp of prhaps miles.  The litte three by four-inch volume is reminiscent of the very beginning of civilization in the northern portion of Michigan - the county which, when the notes which will be partially reproduced below were written, was densely covered with magnificent pine forests.  It probably never oaccured to Mr WHEATON that he passed through the country which but a few years later was to be sacrificed to make a few lumber kings, and then abandoned as waste land not worth the payment of taxes.

 

A sort of forewoard to his journal of pioneer travel is dated July 4 1846, and is appropritely independent.  "May the enemies of this state never be permitted to eat the bread thereof, nor drink the pure water thereof, nor visit the Lake if Independence thereof.  Written by Henry M WHEATON, on the evening of the third day of July, after a heavy shower of rain, and almost dark, and the mosketers thick as h-ll" is the introduction to the story.

 

Following is a sort of narrative of the surveyong trip to the northern country, then nearly the same as when Pere Marquette lived and converted the Indians.  While some of the names are hard to identify, probably having been changed by later surveys, in general terms the trip seems to have been up Lake Huron, through St Mary's river and into Superior, and along the south shore of that magnificent body, past the "Pictured Rocks", and into the primeval wilderness.

 

"Had you followed me through all my travels" says the narratove, "you might have seen me leave my family at Detroit on the 12th of May, 1846, and embark on board the steamer Detroit, for the mineral lands of the south shore of Lake Superor, as a hand in a surveying party under the direction of W, M. IVES.  After a heavy storm you might have seen me land at Sault Ste. Marie falls; then, under an open tent at night, lying on the ground, our beclothes consisting of one blanket apiece.  Then on board the schooner Merchant, then on Lake Superior, in the hold among the Dutch, with some cord wood and some barrels to lie on, staying there six days, watching for a wind to carry us out on the wide lake, and many were sick around me".

 

Mr WHEATON apparently left the boat at "Huron River", and his first duty was the distribution of supplies for the maintenance of the surveying partied which were to follow.  After a wait at Presque Isle and Porcupine Bay, the party landed and began the real work of the laborious trip.

 

"You might have seen us", says the narrative, "first on the lake shore, then on the top of a rocky mountain, then seven ot eight hundred feet below n a cedat swap, wading through and climbing over logs (and the mosketers as thick as h--l). At night we sat down on the ground to eat our bean soup, and the, each one of ius took his blanket and laid down on the ground to rest his weary limbs.  For pillows, one takes his books, another a sandstone, a third a chunk of rotten wood, and I a frying pan - some one thing and some another.

 

"Again we resume out labor a,ong the rocks, and first we know we run against a small lake, when we take out our axes, cut some old dry trees, build a raft and launch out for the other side.  Then commence climbing again-sometimes "chaining", sometimes carrying a heavy pack, then making bean soup and mixing bread, and other times running in search of water of digging a hole inthe swamp in search of it.

 

"Again you would have seen us take our boat and launch out for the middle islands; then land and climb huge rocks, as barren as the desert of Arabia.  Again, we take another start and go out to Huron Islands, and survey them.  Coming back, we are nearly cast away, but we finally reach the shore in safety, take our suppers and retire to rest.  In the night comes a thunder storm, with heavy rain and knocks our tent into a cocked hat.  We gather up our things and retreat to an old leaky storehouse, and stay till morning, but not to sleep, for the danger of the old trees around."

 

After such a night as this, in the morning the party loaded on heavy packs,  and started for the woods.  "We done seven miles a day," says the records, "and sometimes eight."  Trouble was experienced with a heavier lake ot pond, full of mire holes.

 

"The most of the country is not worth five dollars a section. except the slate rock section, and that is good land, covered with sugar timber; no white oak, no beach, no walnut-long rolling and undulating, but not broken.  The game is scarce-few bears and a few deer, partridges and grouse."

 

On a trip, apparently to the Pictures Rocks, the homesick surveyors saw a mirage.  "The weather was calm and the lake smooth", says the narrative.  "The rocks looked beautiful at a distance.  We thought we saw a sail  Then we fancied we saw a whole city.  At length we turned a point and all was hid from our view".

 

The story of an Independence Day celebration in the wilderness is told in a matter of fact manner.  "On the 3rd of July in rained all night and the mosquitoes were very troublesome.  Onthe 4th, held Independece at the same place, and I climbed and trimmed the tallest tree that I could find near the lake for a liberty pole, and had an Independent dinner of bread, pork, bean soup with some roasted clams."  The latter constituted the luxury of the trip.  A few daus later, in a camp by Independence Lake, whatever that may lx(?), the dinner consisted of "a bean soup with a duck and 500 clams; it was good."  And, it is said, the party ate all the clams and presumably wanted more.  A few days later the routine of bean soup for dinner was modified by the addition of a porcupine, cooked with the beans.  This was called "porcupine soup".

 

The narrative gives a description of the troubles incident to the trip-besides the rains, which seemd to be interminable, a cut in the foot of one of the party necessiatated carrying him out of the wilderness.  Sometimes the provisions ran short.  I find sometimes the surveyors caught sixty speckled trout and feasted; sometimes there was no water, sometimes bad water in the hemlocks, and sometimes the pioneers were nearly drowned.  There were always heavy packs to carry, and sometimes tempers gave out under the strain as shownn by such an entry as this: "Carried pack four miles, and camped on Huron Rivert; a quarrel arose in the camp, and the Frenchman got quipped by J L BROWNE."

 

The record continues until November 5, when the start down the lake, in the steamer Detroit, for home was made.

 

Francis M WHEATON, the youngest of eleven children of Henry hf, now resides at 605 West North Street, in Jackson, and the curious log of the notable trip of his father is a family heirloom -
