1 ACHESON of Graddum, Rockfield and Tippecanoe A working draft November 24, 2012
2 This is a draft based on the information available at time of writing. Additional information may become available and the interpretation of any information may subsequently change parts of this narrative. Origins Achesons, of various and sundry spellings, have been documented around central Scotland since Mediaeval times. Some genealogies trace back to a Johannes Atchesonne noted about 1450 in Druntennend in Angus. Various merchants around Edinburgh in particular carried this name, including those who built Acheson House which still exists as a fine example of a strong merchant home and offices in the old core of the city. Mixing politics, commerce and opportunity, Captain Patrick Acheson moved to Ireland after obtaining grants of land in Armagh and Cavan. He died in Armagh in His son Archibald solidified the family s hold over the property at Markethill, County Armagh, as part of the Plantation of Ulster. Over the next three hundred years, the family s reach and well-connected marriages moved it through titles and lands, firstly in the local radius, then connections to English aristocracy, until, like many of their peers, an early twentieth century marriage into an American fortune. The Earls of Gosford have now only the most tenuous links to Ireland, the current Earl living in Australia; the heir apparent an economist with the Transportation Security Administration in Washington D.C. This family has been well documented back to their Edinburgh roots and no branch seems to provide a home for the Achesons of Cavan to roost upon. So I make some very solid assumptions: our Acheson roots are Scottish; we arrived in Ulster with the Plantation, either as cousins or fellow travelers to the Achesons of Markethill. Certainly, there is documentary evidence of Achesons in the same part of Cavan as today, as early as The 1761 Poll Book for the County of Cavan held in the PRONI in Belfast shows a listing of freeholders eligible to vote. Thomas and Francis Acheson are both listed at Shannow townland, and are both also challenged in the list for lack of freehold. Voters then would have needed to be members of the Established Church and with freehold property above a certain amount. Achesons were, and are, quite numerous across Armagh and into Fermanagh and Leitrim. Some suggestions of a link between the Cavan and Leitrim families have been made but not yet proven. For now, the likeliest connection would be with those eighteenth century Achesons in central Cavan.
3 Graddum The earliest record showing the current family group is a fragment of the 1821 Census of Ireland. Cavan is fortunate in having much of the Census survive for the civil parishes of the middle of the county. Most of the Nineteenth century censuses were destroyed either by government action to pulp for paper during the First World War or by fire in the Civil War destruction of the Public Records Office in the Four Courts in Dublin. The census record can be confirmed in light of later records. It shows the occupants of a single story house in the townland of Graddum. Robert Acheson, aged 73, is living with son-in-law William Stafford and daughter Elizabeth with their children, Emily, 3, and Sophia, aged one. Also listed are Robert s other children Thomas and Mary Anne, both 16. Further records shed light on the relationships. Sophia Staffords s baptism on October at Kildrumferton had been witnessed by Thomas and Mary Anne Acheson. Mary Anne Acheson married Henry Brown at Kildrumferton on January Sometime before 1825 Thomas Acheson married Elizabeth Johnson. Their first child Robert was baptized on October His birthplace was recorded as Graddum a fact also recorded in the later family Bible belonging to Thomas Stafford Acheson. One of the sponsors at the baptism of Robert was his aunt Elizabeth Stafford. Thomas and Elizabeth s next two children, John and William, were also born in Graddum, in 1827 and 1831 respectively.

Thomas Acheson holds 19acres; his neighbours are - presumably- brotherin-law William Stafford and -likely - father- or brother-in-law John Johnson Rockfield Before the birth of the next son Thomas in 1833 the family had relocated a short distance to Rockfield. (The Tithe Applotment Book entry for Rockfield from 1828 shows a James Acheson with 16 acres held from the Bishop of Kilmore, George de la Poer Beresford. How James relates to Thomas is not yet clear.)

6 The Anglo-Celt newspaper of June reports the following: CONSISTORIAL COURT, CAVAN The Rev. Dr. CARSON, Surrogate, held a court on Monday last in the Court-house, Cavan. The business was of little importance. Thomas Condron cited Thomas Acheson of Rockfield, farmer, to attend and shew cause why he had slandered, defamed and injured the good name, fame, and reputation of Thomas Condron, on divers occasions, and particularly on the 26 th of March last, by stating to Joseph Gordon and others, that he the said Thomas Condron had forged and counterfeited a false order or undertaking in the name of Mr. James Hearne, for the sum of 30s., by which order the said Thomas Acheson had been defrauded of said sum. Mr. Swanzy appeared for promovant, and Mr. Moutray Erskine for impugnant. In this case it appears a certain order had been forged in the name of Mr. Hearne and presented to Mr. Acheson for payment; the latter honoured it, and shortly afterwards covered the fraud. The promovant alleges that Mr. Acheson then reported the handwriting in the order to resemble his (Mr. Condron s) by which he was deprived of his situation, that of parish schoolmaster. In consequence of which the present citation was issued. The learned proctors had a long discussion on the preliminary points, and the law bearing on them; at the conclusion of which, the Court decided it had no power to take cognizance of the matter- that the promovant might, if he thought proper, institute an action for damage at common law. (Consistory courts were church courts that, until the 1850s, had jurisdiction in probate matters and, among other cases, defamation.) (Records show Thomas Condron, Church of Ireland, schoolmaster of Carrickacroy schoolhouse in pupils attending 30 girls, 30 boys. Condron, having lost his house and employment in one, took his family to Liverpool. In the 1851 Census he is a bookkeeper in a factory there. Three of his daughters had already moved to Australia in In 1852, he and his other family joined them in Melbourne, where he ran a bar called the 'Cavan Hotel' His daughter Isabella, in Melbourne in 1862, married Joshua Roberts Mooney. Joshua's mother was Dorothea Gethings - my mother's great great grand aunt!)

Elizabeth Acheson née Johnson died on April at the age of 56 years.
8 In less than a year, Thomas Acheson remarried to Margaret Naye at Laragh on April Her father is recorded as Robert Naye. Thomas father is also recorded as Robert. Griffith s Valuation for Cavan published in 1857 shows Thomas with three holdings 30 acres at Rockfield and 28 acres at Crosserlough townland; both leased from J.D. Beresford and 72 acres at Kilmore held from Lord Farnham. Margaret and Thomas had five children together: George - born 1857 Alexander born 1858 Mary Anne born 1860 Margaret Jane born 1862 And lastly my great-grandfather Henry born 1865 Thomas Acheson died on June His will transcribed below shows the extent of his holdings a strong farmer and his decisions for his youngest children:

11 The children of Thomas Acheson s first marriage Figure 4 St Patrick's Church Kildrumferton. Built in 1812 and consecrated in 1816 Robert was born at Graddum on October He was baptized at Kildrumferton on October 30, the sponsors were David Johnson, David Wallace and Elizabeth Stafford (née Acheson). Robert is not mentioned in Thomas 1875 codicil and so is presumed to have died before that date. John was born at Graddum on June Baptized at Kildrumferton four days later in the presence of David Johnson, Mary Anne Acheson and Thomas Stafford. Sometime about 1850, John emigrated to Indiana. William was born at Graddum on July He was baptized at Kildrumferton on July 17. He married Hannah Strong on July at Kilbride County Cavan. Her father was recorded as Oliver Strong. Interestingly, Oliver had another daughter, Isabella who, on February had married Joseph Byers.
12 After the marriage they had emigrated to Tippecanoe County, Indiana demonstrating yet another connection between Cavan and that part of Indiana. i William and Hannah had a son, Thomas Stafford Acheson. (For reasons or a relationship not yet apparent, the 1871 will of Thomas Stafford names Thomas Stafford Acheson, son of William, and leaves 100 to him. The same will names Thomas, son of Robert Acheson of Shannow and leaves him 200 again what that relationship was remains to be seen.) Thomas Acheson was the fourth son of Thomas and Elizabeth. He was born on February the first of their children to be born at Rockfield. He was baptized at Kildrumferton on March Thomas never married and late in life was living with brother William and family. He died in Francis was born in Rockfield on April Baptism followed on April 12 at Kildrumferton. In 1854, he followed his older brother John to Tippecanoe County. ii Eliza was the first and only daughter of this marriage. She was born on April at Rockfield. Her baptism was at Kildrumferton on April 27. On October at Kildrumferton, she married Hugh Rountree of Campstown outside Cootehill. (Interestingly, Hugh later had a nephew, Walter Rountree, who was an exact contempory of my great grandfather Henry Acheson they were born in the same year, both attended Farra School in County Westmeath and both took Divinity in Trinity in the same years. They must surely have been known to one another.)
13 Tippecanoe County, Indiana Tippecanoe, with its county seat, Lafayette, lies in the west central part of Indiana. The county was created in It had been the site of the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 which broke the power of the area s Native Americans. Then Governor Harrison, who lead the American forces, leveraged this victory in his successful run for U.S. President in When the Acheson brothers arrived mid-century, the population of settlers was less than 20,000. Contemporary adverts in the Cavan newspapers speak of passenger ships from Dublin or Liverpool for New Orleans as being the gateway to a river voyage to States such as Indiana. Boston or New York are also alternative routes via the railways. John Acheson arrived in Indiana in time to be recorded in the Federal Census conducted September 18, He is recorded as John Atchison, a day labourer working on the farm of Isaac Medsker in John Quincy Adams Township in Warren County, lying to the West of Tippecanoe. Warren County had been founded only in 1848 and in 1851 Isaac Medsker laid out or platted the town of Pine Village there still the only town in the county. According to the biography published locally in 1888, brother Francis Acheson left Cavan in May 1854, arriving in New York in July and coming directly to Lafayette, Indiana. He worked as a farm hand for $13 per month. By the 1860 Federal Census, the brothers had adjoining farmlands in Jackson Township, Tippecanoe County in the area of Shawnee Mound. Both are now married. John married Eleanor Francis, Ohio-born daughter of a Cavan-born couple, Edward Francis and Eleanor née Wilson. Francis had married Talitha Almira Wade. Indiana-born, but orphaned at an early age, Talitha had been raised by David Meharry, himself from a Cavan family. During the American Civil War of , John was recorded on the draft rolls. He is still farming in Jackson Township and apparently was never enlisted. (Another John Acheson had enlisted in Lafayette, joining the 40 th Indiana Infantry in December 1861, and becoming a casualty at Franklin, Tennessee in February 1864.) An 1865 tax list shows the brothers still farming adjacent lands in Jackson Township. Both brothers, being then naturalized citizens, applied for US Passports, Francis in 1865 and John in It is not known if they traveled back to Ireland at that time, but, in 1903, Francis is recorded arriving at New York on a voyage from Derry after a visit to Cavan. This was perhaps his first return to Ireland in almost 50 years!
14 Francis was elected a county commissioner in the 1880s and was involved in civic life. John is recorded as having lost his house to fire in 1878, book case and private papers were the only articles of value saved from the flames iii John's first two children seemed to use a certain naming convention. Thomas Johnson Acheson (b 1853) used John's fathers first name and his mother's last name. Then Elizabeth Wilson Acheson (b 1855) used John's mother's name and his wife's mother's last name. Unfortunately, both children appear to have died in infancy. In fact, of the eight children of John I have located, only three lived into adulthood. The next generation was mainly childless. I have only been able to trace one set of current descendants. John's only surviving daughter, Alice Carey Acheson married Jacob Waples in Their descendants live in Michigan today. There is another connection between the families of John and Francis as Jacob Waples' sister Luella was the first wife of Francis' son Robert Erwin Acheson. They married in 1894 as recorded in Francis' Bible.
15 Figure 5 Page from Francis Acheson's Bible (courtesy of Denny Acheson)
16 Francis Bible is noted as being "Francis Acheson's book purchased for $2.80 on May 3, 1861" There is a slight puzzle as John Acheson is associated with the margin note as being one of the brothers in Ireland - even though John was four years in Indiana, married and starting a family before Francis arrived there in i JOSEPH BYERS, a prosperous and enterprising agriculturist of Jackson Township, where he resides on section 13, was born in County Cavan, Ireland, January 1, 1829, a son of DAVID BYERS, deceased, who was a native of the same county. He was reared to manhood in his native country, remaining there until 1853, when he immigrated to America, and in 1854 came to Jackson Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, where he worked as a farm hand for one year. He then farmed on rented land for five years when he purchased a tract, and has since been engaged in farming and raising graded stock. He was married February 21, 1853, to MISS ISABELLA STRONG, who is also a native of County Cavan, Ireland, a daughter of OLIVER STRONG, who is now deceased. They are the parents of two children -- WILLIAM D. and JENNIE. The former married LIZZIE WARD, and lives in Jackson Township. They have two children, named EDNA W. and CLIFFORD W. JENNIE is the wife of HARRISON B. WALLACE, of Jackson Township, and has one child, ELSIE B. MR. BYERS began the battle of life on his own account entirely without capital, but by strict economy and persevering industry, combined with good business management, he has met with excellent success, having by his own efforts acquired a fine property, his real estate covering 483 acres. In politics he is a strong adherent of the principles of the Republican party. Although he takes an active interest in the politics of his county he is not an office seeker, declining all official honors. He is one of the publicspirited men of the county, and has done his share toward the improvement and development of its resources, and is ever ready to extend a helping hand to all worthy enterprises, and do acts of benevolence to further the interests and happiness of mankind. He and his family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and are among the highly respected citizens of Jackson Township. Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois, pp ii FRANCIS ACHESON, farmer and stock raiser, Wayne Township, is one of the prominent agriculturists of Tippecanoe County. He is a native of Ireland, born in County Cavan, in April, 1835, a son of THOMAS and ELIZABETH (JOHNSON) ACHESON. He was reared a farmer in his native county, and when nineteen years old, in
17 May, 1854, left home and embarked on a sailing vessel for the United States, landing in New York in July, after a six week voyage. He came direct to LaFayette, where he obtained employment as a farm hand at $13 a month, and was thus employed two years. He then rented land until 1860, when he bought eighty acres of improved land in Jackson Township, near Shawnee Mound, for which he paid $25 an acre. In 1868 he bought the farm where he now lives, to which he moved in 1869, which contains 465 acres of valuable land. He is now one of the well-to-do farmers of the county, and has acquired his property by hard work and good management, assisted by his wife, who has always been a true helpmeet to him. When he landed in LaFayette he had one gold dollar, and his present possessions are now the result of his years of labor in this county. He was married March 7, 1860, to TALITHA A. WADE, a native of Fountain County, Indiana, who was left an orphan when a child, and was reared by DAVID MEHARRY. Mr. and Mrs. ACHESON have nine children JAMES WILLIAM, GEORGE THOMAS, JOHN FRANCIS, ROBERT ERWIN, JESSE MORTON, LIZZIE JANE, ALEXANDER DELOSS, CHARLES EMERY, and WALTER GARFIELD. In 1880 Mr. ACHESON was elected county commissioner, and served three years, and it was during his term that the courthouse was built. He is a member of Shawnee Lodge, No. 129, A.F. & A.M. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics he is a supporter of the principles of the Republican Party. Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana, pp iii Lafayette Weekly Courier April 9, 1878 RESIDENCE BURNED Tuesday night last at 10 o'clock the fine residence of JOHN ACHESON of Battle Ground was totally destroyed by fire. The family had retired and narrowly escaped with their lives, being awakened by smoke just In time to save themselves. MR. ACHESON's book case and private papers were the only articles of value saved from the flames. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. We understand there was an insurance of $1,800 in Phoenix of Hartford, Conn., on the property.
