5. George READING. Born on February 26, 1725 in Amwell Twp. Hunterdon County, New Jersey. George died on August 12, 1792; he was 67.

George {3} Reading [1] was born at old Amwell Twp. Hunterdon Co., N.J., “on the 26th of February, Anno 1725, about 8 of the Clock in the morning.”  He was baptised March 21, 1725 in the Dutch Reformed Church at Readingtown, Hunterdon Co.  It was assumed he was born in the house built by his father in 1720 in Flemington, N.J. (still standing 1943).  On June 11, 1751 he married Rebecca Mullen (the daughter of John and Elizabeth [Edwards] Mullen of Burlington and Amwell N.J.) and to them were born twelve children, not all of whom lived to maturity.  In 1753 George Reading’s name was on a subscription list when a parsonage was purchased for the Prsby. Ch. in Flemington, N.J.  It is believed he adopted the profession of his father, that of a surveyor, _____his father willed him his surveying instruments.  He was commissioned________of his Majesty’s Justices of________for Hunterdon Co., April________was one of the Rep. of that county in the Colonial Assembly of 1761-62, 176_-1765, and as early as 1774 became Surrogate of the County.  In 1764,______9th, the New York________ “Scheme of a Lottery for the______the College of N.J., Princ___ ______ “Drawing to __________________Hall, aand____________the several_________Gearge Reading___________________March 13, 1765_________________or Weekly Pos_______ and the Pennsylvania Gazette____Oct 2, 1766 published a notice of sale of several large tracts of land owned in Sussex and Morris Co., as well as the farm on which George {3} Reading lived in the Twp. of Amwell, of Hunterdon, West Jersey.  The house was a large brick one 48/33, two stories high, ‘genteely finished in the fashionable manner’…pleasantly situated for a Gentleman’s country seat” (N.J. Archives; Col. Doc. 1766).  He inherited from his father large landed interests in Jersey, being left tracts in Sussex, Hunterdon as well as a lot opposite the Dutch Church in Amwell, and the land in Sussex left in trust to his two sons. His wife, Rebecca (Mullen) Reading, was willed by her father a lot and brick house in Burlinton and 333 acres of land.  In Aug. 6, 1767 he was of Mansfield, Woodhouse Twp. Sussex Co., when he was made guardian of his nephew Samuel Hackett, the son of his sister Elizabeth (Reading) Hackett who was leaving for Europe, and this gurdianship ended when his sister returned in Oct. 1769.

On July 15, 1770 his wife, Rebecca (Mellen) Reading died, after giving birth to a still born child; she was buried “in the old Presbyterian meeting house ground in Amwell, by the Family graves.”  George {3} Reading obtained a warrant of land in Westmoreland Co., Penn., covering 300 acres, surveyed Feb. 5, 1775, and early in the Revolution he removed to this county settling on a farm near Ft. Ligonier.  His sons, John Mullen {4} and George {4} Reading, Jr., accompanying him, the other children remaining in N.J.  On Apr. 1, 1778 he was appointed Sub-Lieut. of the Co. of Westmoreland; but declined this because of bodily infirmity; however, he later accepted this commission and was made Sub-Lieut., with the rank of Lieut. Colonel.  In 1779 he wrote to his brother, Capt. Thomas Reading, of Amwell, Jan. 23rd, that he had returned to his farm from Ft. Ligonier where he had been “upwards to seven months;” and on April 25, he wrote they were still at the fort but at work daily on their farms.  There was an attack on the Fort, for on April 26, 1779 Col. Reading wrote a letter to Joseph Reed, Pres. of Penn., which shows the attack.  This letter was accepted by the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution as proof of service of Col. George {3} Reading, and established by the writer, Feb. 5, 1941.  It is given in full in the Col. Records of Penn., Vol. 2/248-9 of the Frontier Forts Commission Reports of Western Penn., by Albert.  George {3} Reading was recommissioned on June 2, 1880, but this year, he, with his two sons, John Mullin and George Reading, Jr., removed to Bourbon County, Kentucky.

Col. Geo. {3} Reading wrote many letters back to N.J. copies of which are in Mr. J. Granville Leach’s “Memorial” to the Reading-Howell, etc., Families.”  In one letter dated July 16, 1779 he writes “I purpose sending John down to Kentucky and the falls of the Ohio, in a month or six weeks to take up and secure land…We have the most favorable account of that country.  It is land to be desired, where the winter (not like Pharoah’s lean kine) don’t devour the summer; withal very healthy __ where I hope to ____ my days.”  In a letter dated Mar. 12, 1780, he writes he has made arrangements to go down the Ohio in a craft which he had built for this purpose.  He had faith in the new territory is shown by “I should be glad to know what son Sam is about, and where he is, if in the army, or has left the service, and a mind to enter the trade.  If he is, I know of no place equal to the Falls of Ohio for a young man to push his fortune in.  There is a large town laid out, and a great number of inhabitants already _______ in it, and a considerable trade __________the Spaniards on the_________The Falls of Ohio bids the _______for the largest trading inlandway in North America, and will be the metropolis of a new State in a few years…I would strongly recommend it to Sam, if he has or intends to leave service, to immediately push for the new settlement…and bring with him his sister Betsey, where, if she is unmarried, she need not be afraid of her having pick and choice of a husband…I should think it the greatest pleasure of my life in my aged days to have one of my daughter and son Billie with or near me…Pray do take care of my books.  John says when he comes he will bring them away with him.  He and George take great delight in reading”  (page 45, Memorial to the Reading-Howell, etc., Families, by J. Granville Leach, 1898).  In several letters he refers to the “long captivity” of his son John, and the pension records of John Mullin Reading state that he was taken prisoner by the Indians at Ruddles Station, Ky., June 15, 1780 and held until May 1783.

George {3} Reading, his sons, Samuel {4}, John Mullin {4}, George Jr. {4} and William {4} Reading were large land owners in Kentucky.  Col. George {3} Reading Sr., died Aug. 12, 1792; his will was dated June 23, 1792 and proved Bourbon County, Kentucky.,  W.B.A/123; he mentions his sons only in his will–Samuel, John Mullin, George and William Reading.  (See Ardery’s Ky. Ct. and Other Records, Vol 2/22).  The dates of birth of the children of George {3} and Rebecca Reading, as taken from the old family record, old and yellow with age, belonging to Margaret Reading, formerly of Frankfort, Ky., and copied by genealogist, Miss Hattie M. Scott, is as follows:  (Marriages and other data in “parentheses” taken from other sources, N.D.N.)

Notes on William READING: [4]
William Reading (deceased, whose portrait appears in this work). Among the pioneers of Pike county who by their own energy and strict attention to business won a high position in society, there are none more worthy of space in history than the subject of this sketch. He was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, October 9, 1792, where he was reared on a farm and educated in the subscription schools of the time. He was married January 11, 1816, to Miss Margaret Shawhan, a native of Bourbon county, Kentucky, born February 11, 1787. In 1820 he immigrated to Pike County, Missouri, where he settled in Buffalo township, on the farm where his youngest son (Lafayette) now lives. He purchased the claim of a man by the name of Yedder, and afterwards entered the land. He, from time to time, purchased other lands until he became one of the largest land-owners in the county, having a landed estate of over 2,000 acres. He was a man of liberal views, and by honest and upright dealing won a large circle of warm and true friends.  After living in Pike county about fourteen years he persuaded his father and mother to leave their home in Kentucky and come and settle in this new and prosperous young country. George Reading, his father, was born December 8, 1761, and Nancy, the mother, was born November 25, 1771. Settling on a part of our subject's farm, where he lived until the death of his wife, which occurred in 1842, he then went to Clark county, Missouri, where he died at a ripe old age. William and Margaret Reading were the parents of eight children, all of whom have grown up and held high positions in society. Probably no family in the county are held in higher esteem than the Reading family. He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He always took an interest in educational matters, and gave his children all the advantages possible in that early day. His wife died in 1860, and our subject followed eight years later.

On January 12, 1816 when William was 23, he first married Margaret Bell SHAWHAN, daughter of John SHAWHAN (1771-1845) & Margaret "Peggy" McCUNE (1775-1857), in Bourbon County, Kentucky. [5] Born on November 11, 1797. Margaret Bell died on May 18, 1860; she was 62. Buried in Old Grassy Creek Churchyard, Pike County, Missouri.

They had the following children:
	23	i.	Margaret Ann (1817-1876)
	24	ii.	Rebecca (1819-)

On March 25, 1861 when William was 68, he second married Nancy SHAWHAN, daughter of John SHAWHAN (1771-1845) & Margaret "Peggy" McCUNE (1775-1857), in Bourbon County, Kentucky. [10] Born on October 9, 1799 in Bourbon, County, Kentucky. Nancy died in Bourbon County, Kentucky on December 14, 1882; she was 83. [11] Buried in Smith Family Burial Ground, Shawhan, Kentucky.

Journal Notes of Bob Francis:
October 3, 1999
Tom and I drive to the small village of Shawhan.  Named after our 5th great-grandfather Daniel Shawhan who came to Kentucky in the summer of 1788, the village is located about a mile east of state highway 27 and is just south of the Licking River on the northern border of Bourbon and Harrison Counties. The intersection of 27 and Shawhan road is of interest to me because it was at this juncture almost two hundred years ago that our 4th great grandfather, John Shawhan, helped establish the Mt. Carmel Christian church.  The little church that currently stands in this spot was built in 1859.  According to an early Bourbon County historian,

"John Shawhan was a large man with a tendency to be blonde; his personality such that he had followers of uncommon intelligence.  He was a member of the Older Stoner Mouth Presbyterian Church and was one of the five men denounced from the pulpit by their pastor, Rev. Samuel Reynolds, for attending the revival of the Rev. Barton Stone at Cane Ridge in 1801 when the Christian Church was formed.  A camp meeting was afterward held on John Shawhan's farm about 1818, and from the converts of that camp the present Mt. Carmel Church was formed."  (Perrin's History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas County, Kentucky--1882)

We drive along the narrow winding road named after our ancestors until after about a mile we arrive at the village of Shawhan.  We see a beautiful little stone church on the left.  It is the Shawhan Baptist Church, and it is now the only active "business" in this once thriving community.  I reminisce on the history of this quaint church that was built in the last century on land given by William David, an early farmer in the region.  In those days, it was a Presbyterian Church and was attended by many of our ancestors.  Just past the church, we drive over a small bridge that crosses over a railroad track.  The railroad track reminds me of the beginnings of this village.  The village was originally named "Shawhan’s Station" because it served as a shipping point for the surrounding farm community.  Also, when whiskey distilling was in full swing throughout the last century, the distinctly unique brand of "Bourbon" whiskey was shipped far and wide.  Our 4th great uncle, Joseph Shawhan (1781-1871), and his son Henry Ewalt Shawhan, donated the land and invested heavily in this venture to bring a railroad through this part of Kentucky.  Many barrels of Shawhan whiskey traveled down those tracks to parts . 

Just across the bridge, we turn left onto a country road that parallels the track.  As we make the turn, I notice that one of the oldest buildings in Shawhan has recently been torn down.  The last time I visited this village an old country grocery store sat on the left about fifty yards or so beyond the railroad track along the Shawhan road.  This old building had a history in our family.  One of our ancestors, Daniel "Casher Dan" Shawhan (brother to our 3rd great-grandmother, Nancy Shawhan), and his partner Thomas E. Moore (who married a granddaughter of the above Joseph Shawhan) once used the building as a storehouse for Shawhan whiskey.

We drive up the road to the fourth house on the right.  This is the home of the Evans family who now own the land upon which our Smith family burial ground sits.  We stop and talk with the Evans’ and are greeted warmly.  We tell them of our desire to restore the old burial ground and they say, "good luck!" and with that they tell us to feel free to come and go as we please—just remember to secure the cattle gates.  We thank them and are on our way.  We arrive at the Nicholas and Nancy Smith family burial ground about 8AM.  We drive slowly back to the site, taking a video record as we go.  The morning is very cool (about 45°) and sunny—a beautiful day to work!  We drive through three farmer’s gates and pull up to the burial ground.  Tom surveys the site and sees what needs to be done.  The site itself is overgrown with briars, saplings, and several trees.  A large oak tree, perhaps as old as the burial ground itself, died long ago and fell over graves of Nicholas and Nancy.  Though uncertain of what other graves lay nearby, we are certain that others will be discovered as we uncover the years of clutter and overgrowth.

The Smith family cemetery sits on a high ground overlooking the Licking River about 90 yards to the north.  The countryside is beautiful and very rural.  Surrounding us for long distances in every direction are rolling hills and farmer’s fields.  I can understand why our ancestors chose this spot for their final resting place.

We now begin to clean up the burial ground in earnest.  Tom is using a chain saw to cut up the old fallen oak while I am using a grub hoe to cut out the briars.  It is slow going all the way but we are steadily clearing away decades (perhaps even one hundred years) of neglect.  I am amazed that within a couple of hours the weeds are giving way to some semblance of order.  What satisfaction we feel!  Both of us feel the presence of our ancestors in this place.

Tom finds a gravestone!  It is shaped beautifully but is buried too far in the ground to make out a name.

Another curious stone lay beneath some underbrush near a tree on the northeast part of the burial ground.  The stone is very small with the inscription "N.E.S."  It looks like a footstone; so, where is the headstone and what does "N.E.S." stand for?

It’s almost noon and we find a large base stone just behind Nancy Shawhan’s stone.  Where there’s a base stone, there’s a head stone; so we begin digging  in "front" (our guess) of the base stone.  After some probing, we hit paydirt.  We carefully dig around the stone and pull it out.  The stone is broken and what we pull out is the bottom section.  The stone reads, "born July 1, 1823, died November 9, 1855, aged 32 years, 5 months, 1 day."  This is Nicholas Smith III’s stone because I remember a Western Citizen, Paris, Kentucky, newspaper article obituary which reads: "Smith, Nicholas, at his residence in Bourbon County, on the 2d inst.  aged 33 years, November 9, 1855."

While looking for the top half of the stone, Tom discovers a second stone just beneath the first.  Thinking we had found the top section of Nicholas’s stone, we carefully pull out the second stone.  To our surprise, we found the missing top section of Nancy Shawhan’s stone.  How peculiar, Nancy’s stone lying beneath her son’s!  We now have the complete stone of our 3rd great grandmother (with the exception of a very small piece).  But where is the rest of Nicholas’s stone?  As we discover, it is laying in several pieces in different locations in the burial ground.  A piece shows up here and there throughout the afternoon.  By the end of the day, we found about four pieces.  Several pieces remained hidden.

By the end of the day, we are tired but feel very good about our efforts.

October 4, 1999
Great discoveries today.  We continue to clean out the brush.  At a break point, Tom got curious about a broken stone sitting to the left of Nicholas, Sr.  He began digging around the stone and found a small field stone that said "___cholas Decd 1____"  I came to help dig and after about fifteen minutes, I poke in front of the stone to the left and notice a smooth stone.  We dig it up and read the inscription:

Catharine Smit
Died November the 18
1893, aged 79

Why is the name "Smit" on the stone?  Perhaps this is a relation to Nicholas—a German relative?  This does not make much sense to me since I have never run across any German relatives through my research.  Besides, her age fits a child of Nicholas rather than a sister.  It then hit me:  they had a daughter named Kitty Ann.  It makes sense that this could be her.  I open my genealogy database and—BINGO—the dates fit Kitty Ann Smith (sort of)!  So, Kitty Ann’s formal name is Catharine!  We surmise that the "Smit" spelling is nothing other than a calculation mistake on the part of the engraver—he simply ran out of room and shortened the name to fit the stone.

A second curious discovery.  Tom found a second small field stone with the words "KATH______
SM
Nov 18

Now, what in the world does this mean?

Tom is taking out "stobs" (tiny stumps) when he finds an altogether different stone.  It is small the following inscription:

Nancy E. Smith
Born April 19, 1852
Died October 6, 1854
Daughter of N & A Smith

This must be a child of Nicholas and Amanda (Allison) Smith who had, until now, has gone unrecorded in Smith family history.  We now reclaim this child as part of our family history!  This is the headstone of the mysterious footstone that had been found on the first day.

What a day of discovery!  At the end of the day, Tom and I feel very tired but immensely satisfied that we have honored our ancestors by bringing their final resting place back into order.  We also decide that this is the place where we want to be buried—among our ancestors on this beautiful hill overlooking the Licking River.  We will talk with Mr. Evans sometime this week to see if we can purchase this family burial ground and legally bring the property back into our family.

October 5, 1999
More discoveries today as well as some corrections to earlier assumptions.  We start the morning searching for Nicholas I’s headstone.  We search and search but without success.  During the morning I notice something we had missed on Catharine Smith’s stone.  Her death date was 1825 rather than the 1893 we assumed earlier!  This clearly eliminates Kitty Ann Smith as previously assumed.  This Catharine must be Nicholas Smith’s wife.  The field stone with Catharine Smith’s name and death date match that of the later stone.

Tom makes the discovery of the day when he comes across a huge stone of Joseph Smith, son of Nancy and Nicholas.  This stone provides birth and death dates that have previously been missing.  Joseph was born February 1827 and died November 27, 1850.  His stone sits to the right of Catharine Smith’s stone.  On an eerie note, Tom tells me that he had a dream last night telling him where to dig!  Our ancestors even walk with us in our sleep!

It is late in the afternoon and I find Nancy E. Smith’s base stone almost adjacent to Nicholas III’s stone.  It measures almost exactly 7 ft. from her foot stone.

We spend the rest of the afternoon measuring the burial ground and marking the exact locations of each of the stones.  We also begin drawing each stone.  We complete the stones for Nicholas Smith II, Nancy Reading, and Nicholas Smith III.

October 6, 1999
Today we are bound and determined to find what we feel is the last "treasure" remaining in this small family cemetery:  the gravestone of Nicholas Smith I.  We spent several hours yesterday digging all around the broken base—about a ten foot square consisting mostly of roots.  The digging was a painfully slow and back-breaking process.  This morning we begin again with a renewed determination.  We both feel that Nicholas’ stone represents the last family stone.

After an hour or so of continued digging, we decide that we should dig up Nicholas II’s base stone.  We know where it is because of the position of the headstone.  Both of us had agreed to leave this stone until the last because it was surely not going anywhere.  After about fifteen minutes, we find the top of the base stone.  We dig and dig and dig, ever widening the hole to come at the buried stone from an angle.

In an effort to widen the hole, Tom begins digging about a foot or so to the left.  About six inches down, he hears a familiar "clunk" sound.  Gingerly, he clears away the dirt and discovers a stone with a smooth edge.  "Bob, come here!" he says, "I think I found Nicholas I’s stone!"  I run over and brush away the dirt and notice some writing.  The word "SMIT" appears.  We found our 4th great-grandfather’s stone!  We can’t believe that it is located a full 8 feet from its base.  We quickly dig it out and bring it to the surface.  In order to be certain that the broken base match the head stone, Tom measures the width and thickness of each—a perfect match!  The inscription on the stone reads:

Nicholas Smit
Senior
Died April the 7th
1826 Aged 87 yrs

The only stone now remaining is Nicholas II’s base stone.  We continue to dig.  After about 35-40 minutes, we have dug about 3 ft. down and uncovered a full 10" of the stone, but it still does not budge!  How far down does this stone go?  We are a bit frustrated but continue to dig.  Finally, Tom asks, "do we really have to dig this up?"  We can do it, and you know me, I’ll keep digging until we get this sucker out of the ground, but why?  This is a perfect marker for all of the other stones.  Why don’t we fill the hole back and leave a marker identifying the spot?  We can come back next spring, dig it up and go from there."  I don’t like the idea.  We have succeeded uncovering every stone but this one, why stop now?  We banter back and forth for a while and finally I agree that we can leave it where it is.  The rest of the morning is spent shoveling dirt back into place and smoothing the surface.

We take a lunch break then come back for a final wrap up.  We carry brush and logs throughout the afternoon.  Finally, about 5:30PM, we are finished!  We agree that our job here is completed until the spring of next year.  We have lined up all of the gravestones and ask our ancestors’ patience that they will have to wait until then before we can put their stones in place.  Tom and I feel genuinely satisfied that we have honored our ancestors.  We take our final leave by taking pictures and videotaping our efforts.
