From 1979 WASHINGTON COUNTY ILLINOIS HISTORY

Per Narratives of Randolph County, Sparta Public Library, Sparta, Illinois.

John Auld is the earliest ancestor we have been able to definately claim in this Auld line. Statements of proof are herein given.

John Auld was a tax-payer in Rockbridge County, Virginia, in 1804. In August 1814, he and his wife Mary Forsythe Auld, moved to Rich Hill Township, Muskingam County, Ohio. Mary Forsythe's parents, Elijah and Jean Ewing Forsythe were married by Rev. John Cuthbertson in May 1781 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Rev. John Cuthbertson baptised on November 21, 1784, their two children, stating their birthdays in his diary - Mary Forsythe born March 28, 1782 and Ann Forsythe born February 8, 1784. (See Cuthbertsons' Diary - do not have this. wlg)

John and wife Mary Forsythe Auld, were two of forty members, who enjoyed the First Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, in the newly organized group of Covenanters near the farm home of Mr. McCutcheon, near Zanesville, Ohio. John was elected a ruling elder there in 1821. In 1836 a church on Sec. 30 was called High Hill Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanter). The pastor was Robert Wallace and two ruling elders were John Auld and Charles Sterrett. We think Charles was father of George, James, William and Joseph Sterrett. (Mr. Young)

As John and Mary were about to leave Rockbridge County, Virginia, for their new home in Ohio, two letters of introduction were given them, a copy of which follows:
1) State of Virginia, Rockbridge County.
I, the undersigned subscriber, do certify that I have known and have long been acquainted with John Auld and believe him to be a man of inflexible hosesty, confidence and integrity; well disposed toward the General Government of the US and worthy the attention of every good man. He has been a citizen of said county and state from his infancy and his character stands without a blot or blemish.
Given under my hand this 19th day of August 1814
John McGorkle
Aaron Harper, deputy
N. B. Knowing you are about to move to Ohio, I took the liberty to send you this certificate.

2)We the undersigned, have been acquainted personally with John Auld and Mary his wife (the bearer of this) for many years and as far as we know, believe them to be peaceable, good citizens and have supported a good moral character.
Rockbridge County, Virginia, the 18th day of August 1814,

John Auld died of tuberculesis November 9, 1842 and is buried in the McNaughton Cemetery in Sec. 29, near the graves of his neighbor and friend, Charles Sterrett and his wife Jane McNaughton Sterrett. At the time of John Auld's death, he and wife Mary, owned 120 acres of land in Sec. 30 SE1/2 in Rich Hill Township, Muskingam County, Ohio. Mary and her son James later sold the homestead to Mrs. Jane Forsythe Wilson, a widow of Samuel Wilson. Jane was afflicted with palsey of the hands. She and her sons kept well the farm. The youngest son remained on the farm till accidently killed.

My father, Wm. Reynolds Auld, a grandchild of John Auld, stated to me, his daughter, that he recalled some good times he had at play on a chain and pole swing in the timber, just across the road from the house on the homestead. Also that he remembered that the water was drawn by a windlass and pulley, from a spring, up to the back porch of the house. And that the church, known as the South Branch Coventer Church, could be seen from the house, Mrs. Wilson paid $4000 for the farm.

John and Mary's son William Auld came to Washington County, Illinois some time before the widow Mary, who with her son James and daughter Ann came to Illinois in 1857. They settled on a farm on the ridge about 2 miles West of Oakdale, Illinois, later known as the Petrashek place and still later known as the McClay place it being just North of the Harold Auld farm. (1957)

The widow Mary and son James and daughter Ann came to Illinois on a train, arriving at Richview, Illinois. There they discovered that Ann's trunk was missing. But quite some time later (in 1960) the trunk was located at Claremont, Illinois, with most of its contents gone.

This home farm, on the ridge, was bought of James H. Jamison, October 10, 1857, SW SE Sec. 9 to Jamest Auld and Lot 2 Sec. 16 Twp3 SE R4W.

The widow Mary Auld died of cancer of the nose and is buried in Oakdale, Illinois Cemetery, as are her daughter Ann and sons William and James and many descendants.

The following information regarding the Auld homestead in Ohio, comes from Fred J. Nethers, Recorder, Muskingam County, Ohio.
Zanesville, Ohio, November 1937

In 1832 John Auld purchased from the administrators of the Wm. Forsythe estate, the S 1/2 of SE 1/4 of Sec. 30 Twp 13, R 11. This land was sold by order of court to pay a claim against the estate of William Forsythe, for the price of 3 pounds of gunpowder, sold by a man by the name of Leach, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. (Had William Forsythe been in the Revolutionary War?)

In 1839 John Auld purchased from James Armstrong 79.81 acres, this being the N 1/2 of SE 1/4 of Sec. 30, Twp 13 R 11.

The children of John and Mary Auld were Jane, Elizabeth, John, William, Mary, James and Ann. These will be found in the genealogy.

A daughter of William was Mrs. Elizabeth Beall, who lived in Oakdale, Illinois in her later days and she was a very interesting person. She kept a diary of important doings in and around town, for many years. This diary was last known to be in the possession of the family of William Carson in Oakdale, Illinois. She took active part in church and community life and in her younger days was a one room, country school teacher. I found this record of her teaching days written in her hand writing, naming her pupils which I will copy here.

My first school, taught 3 mo. began 7/4/1853, taught in log school house, near the Sparta - Nashville road, near Thomas McClurken's, in Elkhorn Prairie, near Oakdale, Illinois.
