TIMELINE for BUTLER EMERY MARBLE: (Butler Emery's Chronology)

{The pioneer Marble who migrated West from Vermont to New York and through Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon, and finally, the Washington Territory.)

BUTLER EMERY MARBLE, the third son of six sons, or the seventh child of eleven children of Joseph Marble, (American Revolution Veteran) and Susannah Elizabeth Butler, was born January 1794 in Winchester, Cheshire County, New Hampshire.

1809, when Emery was age 15, the Marble family migrated from Winchester, Cheshire County, New Hampshire to Fayston, Washington County, Vermont.
The Marble Family located in the northern part of the town, where Joseph Marble built the first saw-mill in Fayston.
The saw-mill passed out of the possession of the MARBLE family in 1882.

SERVICE IN WAR OF 1812 - A DRAGOON

Emery Butler Marble served in the last year of the War of 1812, which started June 18, 1812 and ended December 24, 1814.

Note: The United States Cavalry, or U.S. Cavalry, is the designation of the mounted force of the United States Army.
Originally designated as United States Dragoons, the forces were patterned after cavalry units employed during the Revolutionary War.
Dragoon: light, mobile, scouting cavalry, fights on foot, but travels by horseback

United States Light Dragoons:
1814, 30 March; Congress combined the First and Second United States Dragoons into one Regiment of U. S. Light Dragoons.
This was a result of cutting the costs of sustaining two organizations when neither could maintain a full complement of riders.
At the end of the year, the war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.

1815, 3 March; The regiment was disbanded, with the explanation that cavalry forces were too expensive to maintain as part of a standing army.
1815, 15 June; The retained officers and men were folded into the Corps of Artillery, all others were discharged.

1815, 10 December; Butler Marble age 21married MARY JENETTE LAWS in Fayston, Washington County, Vermont.

1819, THE NAME: BUTLER EMERY MARBLE

Emery Marble always signed his name Emery Marble until about 1819.

The story about Emery Marble's name change is that at the age of 21, he married Mary Laws, (Matilda Jenette Laws), when she was with child, (Abel), on 10 December 1815, in Fayston, Washington County, Vermont. Emery's father, Joseph Marble did not approve of the union and did not give Emery a part of his inheritance, as was the custom at a son's wedding. For whatever reasons, Emery stole two of his father's oxen and had his fourteen year-old brother-in-law Benjamin Laws hide them, while Emery found a way to dispose of them. They were both caught and in June of 1817 were sentenced by the state court in Montpelier to three years (Emery) and two years (Benjamin) at hard labor and to bear the costs of prosecution. They immediately petitioned the Governor for clemency, but their petitions were dismissed. However, they kept trying and finally Benjamin was pardoned in October of 1818 and Emery in September of 1819. After he left prison, Emery always signed his name as either Butler E. Marble or B.E. Marble. Butler was the maiden name of Emery's mother, Susannah Elizabeth Butler.

MICHIGAN

About 1835, son Jackson Marble was born in Coldwater, Branch County, Michigan.

ILLINOIS

1838, Clyde Township, Whiteside County, Illinois:
The Township of Clyde is situated in the north part of Whiteside county and contains 22,925 acres. The land is rolling prairie and bluffs, interspersed with numerous groves of timber, especially along the water courses.

About 1838 settlers began to come into the town, among others Henry W. Daniels and Hugh Hollinshead. A Mr. Wing of New York, and Dr. H. H. Fowler of Indiana, then residents of Fulton, built a saw mill where the Brothwell Mill now is. This was managed by Butler E. Marble and his son Levi. Hugh Hollinshead, a millwright, and H. W. Daniels were engaged in erecting the concern. In connection with it was a grist mill or "corn cracker," which worked so slowly that it is said a man waiting for his grist could eat all but the toll while the grinding was being done.

In 1838 Wing laid out a "city" at the mill which was called "Genesee City." The "city" was great in its immensity. Lots were sold to eastern people, and several came on to inspect the new metropolis. They found a magnificent array of stakes, and but little else to speak of. Butler E. Marble, the miller, went to Oregon where he died.

In 1838,The First Mill: Butler E. Marble and his son Levi operated their mill. They also attempted to operate a corn cracker at the mill, but it wasn’t a success. Some people said they could crack more corn with a plumping stone. The mills were used only three or four months of the year because there was insufficient water in the races to provide power.

1854, Butler Marble and his son, Ancil, known as experienced farmers, millers, and carpenters, were drawn to the creeks north of the HBC (Hudson Bay Company) compound by the potential water Power.
In 1854, Butler Marble and his wife, Matilda, settled on Burnt Bridge Creek, while his son (Ansil) settled nearby to the north.
The father and son team built several mills together, including a sawmill along the banks of Burnt Bridge Creek near the mouth of Cold Creek and a gristmill on Salmon Creek.
Butler renamed the creek "Marble Creek"; it had been previously known as Bridge Creek or River Creek (Van House 1978).
Like all early settlers, the Marbles did many things to survive - they ran mills, farmed, sold meat to the Hudson's Bay Company, and strove to accumulate land.

1859, Butler Marble built a gristmill on Salmon Creek. It is said that he lived on Burnt Bridge Creek.

Note:
Burnt Bridge Creek: A creek of many names. At one time, when a bridge crossed the creek at 4th Plain, it was called Bridge Creek. Then the bridge burned. In the 1850s, it was also called Stenegier's Creek, after a Hudson's Bay employee on whose land the creek ran. In 1865, it appears on the maps as Marble Creek, for Ansil Marble, on whose land it then lay. However, by 1885, it appears as Burnt Bridge Creek. The stream was Vancouver's primary water source until the city's wells were dug.

Civilians were encouraged to reclaim and remove the remains of their relatives, about 72 disinterment of civilians occurred during the year 1881. The new cemetery, situated about 1/2 mile north of the old one, area 2 acres, was enclosed with a strong new picket fence. No new interments had been made to 12 August 1882. There was some dissention (local) to the disturbance of the burials for reinterment in the new post cemetery. Rather it was recommended that the old post cemetery be declared a national cemetery as had formerly been done by GO# 4 of 1875 subsequently revoked by GO of 1876. The original post was needed for expansion of the building area of the Reservation."

At present (15 April 2000) there are 1400 graves at Vancouver Barracks, 210 of which are unknown from the mid 1800's.

Note: About Clark County, Washington;
Formed in 1844, and originally named Vancouver County (changed to Clark in 1849), Clark County is the oldest county in Washington state, and is home to one of the oldest settlements in Washington.

Note: Fort Vancouver Site
The site of Fort Vancouver, called Jolie Prairie, was located near a Chinook Indian village named Ske-chew-twa that was located on the site of the W.W.I. Kaiser Shipyards. Jolie Prairie was later named Fort Plain by the Hudson's Bay Company, and became the core of Fort Vancouver. The coniferous forests surrounding the plains provided a ready supply of timber for fuel and building materials. The streams on Mill Plain, six miles east of Fort Plain, provided a power source for both a grist mill and a saw mill.

Fort became the headquarters and principal supply depot for the Hudson Bay Company's "Department of the Columbia" and the center for the Northwest fur trade. It also became the western terminus of the Oregon Trail.

  JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
  
  Mathew Hale Carpenter
  His grandfather, Col. (Colonel) Cephas Carpenter, was long a resident of Moretown - a man of strong intellect and marked characteristics. For years he was a justice of the peace, and as such presided in the trial of cases almost without number. When a trial was had before another justice, he was usually found acting as counsel for one of the parties, in which capacity he was quite the equal of most of the practicing attorneys of his day. It has been truly said of him that "he was a lawyer, though not a member of any bar."
  His father was Ira Carpenter, who was born in Moretown, and resided there until well advanced in life, when he removed to Warren.
