Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOHN D.⁶ DYE  (JAMES⁵ DEY, JOHN LAURENS⁴, HANS LAURENTSZEN³ DUYTS, LAURENS², RICHARD?¹) was born 31 Oct 1753 in Cranbury, Middlesex County, New Jersey, and died 23 Apr 1836 in Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio¹.  He married RUTH APPLEGATE 06 Apr 1779 in Elizabeth, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, daughter of WILLIAM APPLEGATE and SARAH WIGGINS.  She was born 1761 in Princeton, Middlesex County, New Jersey, and died Abt. 1840 in Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio.

 

Notes for JOHN D. DYE:

From History and Families Brown County, Ohio  1818 - 1993, page 271.  Compiled by the Brown County Historical Society.

 

"JOHN DYE.  The stone marker shown below was placed there by the Taliaferro Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, April 26, 1936.  This marker depicts the location of the grave of John Dye.  Just one hundred years after his death, 1836, this impressive ceremony took place.  (Location of marker is at the corner of Day Hill and Arnheim - St. Rt. 125)

 

John Dye, the son of James and Sarah (Leach) Dye, was born in Middlesex County, NJ.  He enlisted at Allegheny County, PA. for a three-year term of service in Capt. Kilgore's Co., Colonel Brodhead's 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, Continental Army.  He was engaged with the Continental troops at the Battle of Saratoga, one of the 15 decisive battles of the war.  He was discharged in the fall of 1779 in Elizabethtown, PA.  Soon after that he married Ruth Applegate, April 6, 1779, the daughter of Wiliam and Ruth (Wiggins) Applegate of Allegheny County, PA.

 

John and Ruth, along with other pioneers, started for the western lands, coming down the Ohio River amd settled first in Bracken County, KY.  A daughter, Elizabeth, was born, and married Joseph Brannon.  She died soon after the second child was born, and the grandparents, John and Ruth, brought them to Ohio with the other members of the family.  They were: Sarah, married Isaac Day; Rachel Amanda, married John Day; Hannah, married Christopher Day; William, married first Elizabeth Redman and married two more time; and James, married Nancy Ellis.

 

The family settled in a log house which they built, and the chimney for many years stood guard over the quiet Straight Creek valley, just as John's grave does today at the corner of St. Rt. 125 and Arnheim Day Hill Road.  Two of his wife's sisters married Revolutionary soldiers - Edward Evans and Robert Wright.  These two families settled in the vicinity also.

 

John Dye established himself as a high-type citizen, taking an active part in the upbuilding of his immediate neighborhood, as a prominent member of the Methodist Church.  He assisted in constructing the first hewed log house of worship built on Hillman Ridge in 1812.

 

In the DAR ceremony, Mr. Fern Baird, of Russellville, represented the family in presenting a sketch of John Dye's life and service, and discussed the difference in civic values that have arisen since the pioneers opened this locality to settlement.  Mr. Baird, along with the descendants and those holding standards of civic values, would also be shocked to learn that John Dye's grave was opened and vandalized recently (1991).

 

Therefore, it is with deepest respect that space is given for such a pioneer, who no doubt fought for our freedom alone at times, braved the wilderness to clear land for his family, buried alone - but happy that he could rest and watch the fruits of his work progress with his family members who have continued to live on his farm.

"John Dye  was born in 1754 in Middlesex County, New Jersey, the son of James Dey and Sarah Leach.  The two primary sources exist from the information which follows:

 

1.   THE APPLEGATE FAMILY IN AMERICA produced by Hugh Vorees.  Follow the line 5F.  The Applegate children noted in the following are descendants of Benjamin Applegate.

 

2.   HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS OF BROWN COUNTY, OHIO by Thompson, published in 1968.

 

John Dye would have been about 10 years old when his father died.  Little is known about John's early life.  He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and served with General George Washington as a part of the Pennsylvania Line, 11th Infantry.  The commander was Captain Samuel Dawson in Colonel Richard Humphrey's Regiment.  He applied for and received a pension (number 2344) on July 22, 1819 in Brown County, Ohio.  He died on April 23, 1836 in Brown County, Ohio and is buried on the old Day farm, 3 miles east of Georgetown at the intersection of State Road 125 and the Georgetown - Arnheim Road in Pleasant Township.  A U.S. Government marker was placed there by his descendants and a dedication service was held on the 100th anniversary of his death, April 23, 1936.

 

In an application for membership to the DAR, John Dye's service record was noted as follows.  Served as a private in Captain David Kilgore's company, Colonel Daniel Braidhead's 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, was in both battles of Stillwater and served in Morgan's Rigle Regiment and several other battles.

 

He married Ruth Applegate (5F3B in Voorhees System), born 1761 in Middlesex Co., NJ.  She died c.1840 in Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio.  They were married on Apr. 6, 1779 in Elizabeth, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania.  They moved c. 1785 to Mason Co., Ky where they stayed several years before moving to Illinois.  They didn't stay very long before returning to Kentucky.  They moved to Brown Co., Ohio c. 1795 and lived near her sister's family, the Evans family."

Notes for AUGUSTUS TAYLOR DYE:

HIstory of Madison County, Indiana Vol. 2, by John L. Forkner, pages 407 -409

 

"AUGUSTUS T. DYE.    A former county recorder and one of the most popular men in public affairs in Madison county, Mr. Dye has a prominent place in financial circles of Anderson, being assistant secretary and treasurer of the Farmer's Trust Company, of which he was the original organizer.  The Farmer's Trust Company is one of the most substantial organizations of its kind in this section of the state and among its directors are many of the reliable business men and well known citizens of both Anderson and the surrounding country.

 

The career of Augustus T. Dye began in Clermont county, Ohio, where he was born July 27, 1864, belonging to an old family of that state.  His grandfather was James Dye, a pioneer of Ohio.  The father was Francis M. Dye, who was born in Ohio and for many years an attorney.  His death occurred during the year 1866, after four years service in U.S. Army.  He married Miss Amanda Manchester, who was born in Kentucky, a daughter of Hiram Manchester and grand-daughter of Chas. C. Manchester,  who began his career as a minister in his eighteenth year and was widely known among the early settlers of Ohio as a preacher, living to the advanced age of eighty years.  On the mother's side another ancestor, through a collateral branch, was Roger Williams, the noted character of early New England history, who in order to attain freedom of worship, according to his own ideas, left the old Massachusetts colony, and settled in Rhode Island where he gathered about him a small congregation and founded what was known as Providence and Rhode Island plantation.  Mrs. Amanda Dye is still living in Hamersville, Ohio, and was the mother of two children.

 

Augustus T. Dye spent his early boyhood on a farm in Ohio, and attended both the common and high schools in Felicity, Ohio, until completing his education in the high school.  He then returned to the farm and engaged in its various duties until he was twenty-one years of age.  His experience since that time has connected him with the larger phases of business life.  He spent two and a half years as traveling salesman in Ohio, and then came to Anderson, where he followed various lines of employment.  His popularity as a citizen in 1898 resulted in his election to the office of county recorder, and he gave four years of faithful and intelligent service in that capacity.  He was a Republican and had the distiction of being the only candidate on the Republican ticket who was successful in that election.  On the expiration of his term of office as recorder he spent three years in the merchantile business and then with others as his associates, organized the Farmer's Trust Bank.  On the organization of this well known financial enterprise he was made assistant secretary and treasurer and has held those offices ever since.

 

Mr. Dye was first married to Miss Anna Ayres, daughter of William and Nancy
