Jonah Markley: Carbon County's esteemed court crier
EARLY TIMES CAPSUL
BY JIM ZBICK
Times News May 18, 1996

Government officials throughout the area grieved at the sudden passing of Jonah Markley in 1886. For over 40 years, he was one of the county's most faithful servants.

Born in Northampton County in 1801 to "humble and very respectable parents," Markley showed signs of early maturity as a teenager. At age 13 he became an associate of a Dr. Thomas, a respected physician in Philadelphia. Later, in life, Markley would be influenced by another doctor, Dr. Humphrey from cherryville who became his brother-in-law. During the Civil War, Dr. Humphrey, based in Easton, was the examining surgeon for the draft.

After faithfully serving Dr. Thomas for a number of years in Philadelphia, Markley came to Carbon County, learning the weavers' trade at Lehigh Gap from a man named Peter Brown. Markley married Caroline Walck in 1828.

Markley's next move was to Franklin where he established himself as a humble farmer. In a short time, however, he discovered his life was destined for public service.

Soon after Carbon County's organization in 1843, Markley was elected one of the first constables. This made him familiar to county officials and when court crier William Holly retired, Markley was chosen as successor. It was a position the popular Franklin farmer would hold for the next four decades.

"Through rain and shine and winter and summer, Markley was always in his accustomed place and with that manner so peculiarly his own, opened and closed the sessions of the court, calling out for good order and quietness during its continuance," one Mauch Chunk newspaperman noted.

Despite being an octogenarian, Markley seemed to be in good health at the close of court on Jan. 23, 1886. As in countless previous sessions, he closed the court with a final prayer, "God save the commonwealth and the honorable court."

Death came quite suddenly to the respected court crier. He died at 9 a.m. in his home in Franklin on February 1. The cause of death was termed "heart disease."

Markley and his wife raised five sons and three daughters, and two of the children preceded him in death. He also left 53 grandchildren and 49 great-grandchildren.

His remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining the Big Creek Evangelical Lutheran Church in Franklin Township. Friends and relatives formed a funeral cortege from the home to the church, then crowded into the sanctuary to hear Rev. J.S. Erb of Slatington deliver a practical message from Isaiah 38:1 entitled, "set thine house in order for thou shalt die."

The service, which was in German, also included hymn-singing, reading of the 90th Psalm, and the Lord's Prayer. Many county officials attended the service, including William Holly, the man he replaced as court crier over 40 years earlier.

"He was good natured and kind hearted to a fault, simple mannered and always obliging," a Mauch Chunk writer eulogized. "With his pleasant face and plain old-fashioned form, he'll be remembered as long as this county endures."

From The Carbon Advocate, Volume 7, Number 7, Saturday, January 11, 1879
Big Creek Items. On New Years day, our old friend, Jonas Markley, court crier, and his wife Catharine celebrated their golden wedding. About 50 or 60 persons were present, among whom
were their three sons and two daughters. Among the presents to the worthy couple were one sack of flour, 6 pounds of coffee, 8 pounds of sugar, a large ham and sundry other articles. To say that Jonas was happy on that occasion falls far short of expressing his feelings.

DESCENDANT OF MAYFLOWER PASSENGER FRANCIS COOKE
GRANDFATHER OF CIVIL WAR MEDAL-OF-HONOR-WINNER AXEL HAYFORD REED
HELPED TO MAKE THE FAMOUS CHAIN THAT BLOCKED THE HUDSON RIVER IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR

------------

A BIOGRAPHY OF LT. ELISHA BISBEE, by Larry Overmire (4th great grandson), Aug. 2008:

Elisha Bisbee was born Mar. 4, 1757, in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, the eldest of nine children of Revolutionary War veteran Charles Bisbee and his wife Beulah Howland. Charles Bisbee was the great great grandson of Francis Cooke of the Mayflower.

Elisha distinguished himself as an ardent patriot in the Revolutionary War. Such was his Revolutionary zeal that, while a blacksmith's apprentice, he purposely burned the lock of a Tory's gun that had been left at the shop to be repaired.

Elisha went on to become a blacksmith in the Massachusetts Line and helped make the famous chain that blocked the British approach up the Hudson River. His promotion to lieutenant was signed by Gen. George Washington himself.

Elisha married Mary "Molly" Pettingell on Sept. 22, 1779 in Duxbury. She was the daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Gannett) Pettingell. They had ten children: Susan, Sarah "Sally" Howland, Anna, Elisha Jr., Daniel, Mary "Molly," Hopestill, Thursea, Horatio, and Huldah.

In 1784, Elisha and his family moved with his father to Sumner, Maine. He wrote a letter to his uncle William Ford of Pembroke, Mass., on Apr. 29, 1803, that gives an impression of what life was like in Sumner:

"Dear Uncle: I embrace this opportunity to inform you that we are all well as common. I have nothing new to write. It is a general time of health here. We have had a very moderate winter, and as forward spring as we have had since I lived here. Bread and meat are plenty and cheap, and labor bears a very high price and not to be had at any rate... I have not had a line from you this many a day, and have done looking for any, but I am in hopes my scribbling may stir you up so that I may know how you and our relations fare there in that old worn-out country, and pray don't miss any opportunity of writing to me, as I shall take it very hard if you do. We have had a very exceeding snow storm here. It began on Friday, the fifteenth of this instant, early in the morning and grew hotter and hotter until Sunday about noon, when it abated. The snow fell eighteen or twenty inches deep and there is some of it to be seen now. It was by far the smartest storm we have had for the winter past. Our two oldest girls have got married and each of them got a boy. They married men of property and are in a way to live if no misfortune overtakes them. Remember me to all that may inquire..."

In 1811, Elisha's wife Mary died. Some of the children were sent to live with others to ease the burden of raising them. On Sept. 15, 1812, Elisha married again, to Chloe Sylvester, the daughter of Elisha Sr. and Grace (Ruggles) Sylvester.

Elisha died on either Dec. 1 or Dec. 4, 1826, at the age of 69. He was buried in The Bonney Road Cemetery in Sumner.

From Genealogical Collections Concerning the Scottish House of Edgar by Andrew Edgar
"David Gammon served in the Revolution in Capt. Samuel Whitmore's Co., 3rd, Cumberland County Regt. of Militia under command of Col. Reuben Fogg of Scarborough, Me. This company with that of Capt. Benjamin Larrabee started to march to Peekskill, N. Y., Dec. 25, 1777. They were allowed a penny for each mile traveled, receiving for three hundred and ninty-two miles the sum of one pound, twelve shillings, and eight pence.

Samuel, a brother of David, also a soldier in the Revolution, signed with David Ray, Benjamin Patch, Joseph Hancock, and Jonathan Moors an application to the Proprietors of Otisfield Plantation for the warrant of the first meeting in that plantation. This meeting was held Apr. 23, 1787, at which time not more than thirty families had settled in the plantation."

From: A History of Otisfield, Cumberland County, Maine from the Original Grant to the Close of the Year 1944 by William S. Spurr; Pages 392-393
"GAMMON, DAVID, son of Joseph the 1st, married Mary Doane in 1777, (int. May 3d) in Gorham, Me. He was in Otisfield in 1790 or before. He was the first settler on lot 86, since known as the Eben Sawyer, and later as the David Stone place. David Gammon bought of Wm. Gorham, adm. of the estate of David Gorham, late of Barnstable, Mass. a certain hundred acre lot of land numbered 86, in consideration of the said Gammon settling the same accordign to the injunction of the General Court. Dated Apr. 14, 1786. Timothy Jorday sold and deeded to David Gammon, one half of lot 85 adjoining the lot improved by Lieut. Joseph Hancock. Dated Sept. 3, 1789, 45 pounds. David Gammon sold to George Pierce lots 85 and 86, in consideration of 150 pounds, deed dated Nov. 6, 1793.

"David Gammon was one of the greatest bear hunters in Otisfield, I think he killed as many as twenty bears in one year, sometimes. The bears were very thick at that time and used to go into his cornfield and get filled up and then they went and laid down in the swamp between his cornfield and the road and cooled off. He owned a bear hound, Benj. Patch, another and Benj. Wight another. He moved away to Buckfield after 1812 I think. He lived on the hill east of the road, opposite the house that Jerry Sawyer moved from Bell Hill and lived in. " (Statement of Enoch Spurr and Benj. F. Wight.)

There were four brothers, early settlers of Otisfield, Samuel, Joseph, David, and William. Samuel, David and Willliam were here in 1790. Also sister Christiana who m. Robert Knight."

From: The Doane family: 1. Deacon John Doane, of Plymouth, 2. Doctor John Done, of Maryland, and their descendants. With notes upon English families of the same name

110 EDWARD 5 DOANE (Ebenezer, 4 Ebenezer, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born, probably, at Cape Elizabeth, Me., about 1741 and died there after 1817. He married first, Apr. 3(orOct. 21), 1762, Anna Westcott. Married second, at Cape Elizabeth, Nov. 21, 1766, Sarah McDougle, who died at Durham, Me., about 1817. Mr. Doane was a farmer and lived on Cape Elizabeth, in that section known as Long Creek and near the Long Creek bridge. On Sept. 10, 1810, he deeded his farm at Cape Elizabeth to his son Charles, for the care and support of himself and wife, during their declining years. In the summer of 1817 they visited their son, Richard, at Durham, where his wife, Sarah, died. She was buried there in the Trufant burial-ground, about one-half mile from their son's farm. After her death he again sought his old home at Cape Elizabeth, but lived only a few days after his return.

Edward Doane was in Captain Skillings Co., against the Indians and was a soldier in the French and in the Revolutionary wars. He was a private in Capt. John Libbie's Co., Col. Jedediah Preble's Regt., from Apr. 8 to Nov. 18, probably, 1758; wages £1.1 6 8 per month. His name appears on a Billeting Roll, sworn to at Boston, Feb. 12, 1759 and rendered by Josiah Smith of Weston, for billeting men coming from service in 1758, Captain Libbie's Co. He was a private in Captain George Berry's Co., from Apr. 1 to July 16, 1759; also private in Capt. Jonathan Carver's Co., at Crown Point, from July 8 to Dec. 10, 1761. He was a private in Capt. David Strout's (seacoast) Co., July 15 to Dec. 31, 1775, at Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough ; also in Capt. Benjamin Hooper's (seacoast) Co., Jan. 29 to Nov. 24, 1776, stationed at Falmouth.
