Notes for REUBEN
CLOSE:
Report on Family
Tree Maker Geneology Site Finder: Main has his death date as November
11, 1846, which is on his gravestone in the Old Cloos Burying Grounds on
Ally Close Hill Road.
One report from
James & Bev Close, says that Reuben was a Civil War Vet, was wounded at
the battle of Bull Run, was married 3 to 5 times (it was reported by
Barbara Ellis BPERN@aol.com that Reuben & Harriet were divorced), never
worked, gambled and chewed tobacco.
His name appears in
an old Chatham Township Directory stating that he was a farmer. In the
"History of Tioga County", on page 458, it reads about early settlers in
Chatham township, Reuben Cloos, son of Newbury Cloos, a pioneer settler
of Deerfield township, commenced improvements on his land in the "Cloos
Settlement" in 1818. He built a log house, raised two crops of grain
and, in 1821, moved his wife to her new home. The first season, during
their absence, the house burned with everything in it, including $60 in
silver money. Abel Cloos a brother of Reuben, settled in the Cloos
neighborhood in the winter of 1822-23 and then Abel Cloos, an uncle of
Reuben, and Armon Cloos, a brother, a year or two later.
- - - -
- - - - -
In the History of
Deerfield Township 1883, it is stated that In 1830 Reuben Cloos built
the first saw-mill on Yarnall Brook, near the present residence of Isaac
Sutton. It was rigged with a flutter wheel and a single upright saw.

Thank you for
your query on the Seeley surname. The attached file is
what I have in the my
files for the union of Harriet Seeley and Reuben Close. I was
told that no children
were born to this union so your data would be most
interesting to the
Society. She is listed in the Society files as SGS#0956.
You can find more info
about joining the Society from George R. Seeley at
gseeley@juno.com.
Dues are $8.00 per year or $100.00 for life membership..My

Hello - I was not
aware of a Seeley Society. I wondered how one becomes a
part of it? I am the
GG Granddaughter of Harriet Seeley (1802) that married
Reuben Close in 1828.
I am looking for more information on Harriet. I have
been told that she and
Reuben were divorced. Would like to know if all the
children I have listed
for them were from this union or more than one union.
Can you help me?

1. CAPT. EBENEZER2
TAYLOR (EBENEZER1) was born January 15, 1768 in Delaware Water Gap, NJ,
and died November 11, 1850 in Tioga Co., PA. He married POLLY COOK Abt.
1794, daughter of REUBEN COOK and SARAH COLE. She was born January 31,
1779, and died December 02, 1820 in Tioga Co., PA.
Notes for CAPT.
EBENEZER TAYLOR:
The Following comes
from the Osceola Town History section of the History of Tioga County, PA
The Taylor family was
the next that came to stay. It consisted of the widowed mother,
Permelia, and three sons, Ebenezer, Philip and Mitchell. They came from
the Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey, emigrating first to the Wyoming
Valley, where they were engaged in the Pennamite war;(2) from thence to
Pipe Creek below Owego, and in 1806 to the Cowanesque Valley. Their
first settlement here was at Barney Hill, below Elkland. Ebenezer made
several purchases of land in Osceola-first, the Samuel G. Barker farm of
Caleb Griggs, which he soon sold to his brother Philip; second, the farm
now owned by John Tubbs, which he sold to Robert Tubbs February 1st
1811; and, third, the farm of Henry Mott, now owned by C. L. Hoyt. On
this farm he made his home and resided during his life, and his
descendants after him. Permelia Taylor, the mother, and Philip and
Mitchell died soon after their arrival, and were buried at Barney Hill.
Ebenezer Taylor married Polly, only daughter of Reuben Cook. She eloped
with him at the age of fifteen years, while they resided at Pipe Creek.
In October 1813 David
Jay, an old Revolutionary soldier, lived upon Holden Brook, near the
site of the cheese factory. One day when he was absent from home his
wife and children saw a bear lift his hog out of the pen and carry it
away. The next day search was made in the woods and the carcass of the
hog was found partly devoured. Captain Ebenezer Taylor was notified of
the situation, and when the bear returned for another meal he killed
him, by the large spring that supplied the cheese factory with water.
In November 1817
Captain Ebenezer Taylor while hunting near "Tom Lick" shot and wounded a
deer. He followed it toward Camp Brook. After a while he noticed a fresh
wolf track ahead of him. He sat down and waited for the wolf to overtake
the deer. He crept along carefully up the brook, and when near the State
line saw the wolf snatch a mouthful of meat from the deer and then step
upon a knoll and eat it. This he repeated several times, when Taylor
drew a bead on him and killed him. He next night he set a trap by the
deer carcass and caught another wolf. Taylor drew a bounty of $60 each
upon the wolf scalps at Bath, N. Y.
Saw-Mills.--In 1810
Ebenezer Taylor built the first saw-mill in the township, upon Holden
Brook. It was located just above R. Hammond & Co.'s tannery. It was
rigged with a flutter wheel and a single up-and-down saw, and was
capable of cutting 1,000 feet of panel pine lumber in twelve hours. It
was burned about 1815. "The song of its jarring saw, sent far up and
down the wooded glen in olden times, long since has ceased to tell the
story of its former usefulness and glory."
ECCLESIASTICAL.
The Methodist
Episcopal Church was the pioneer church of Osceola. Captain Ebenezer
Taylor was a local preacher of this denomination in the first years of
the century, His colaborers in the wilderness were David Jay, Elihu Hill
and many pious women. Meetings were held wherever people could be got
together in the cabins of the new settlers, in barns, in the improvised
school-houses and in the open air. The early Methodists were partial to
this kind of worship, and gathered the scattered population from far and
near into huge camp meetings, where they spent days and nights in
preaching and prayer, intermingled with shout and song. Three were held
in Osceola.
Permelia, Philip and
Mitchell Taylor are buried here. Permelia Taylor was the mother of
Philip and Mitchell. All of them died before 1810 and were buried in a
pioneer cemetery upon Barney Hill, in Elkland borough. When the A. & N.
P. Railroad Company in 1882 built its grade across Barney Hill, the line
entered this oldtime burial ground and disturbed the resting place of
its occupants. On being apprized of this fact Capt. C. B. Taylor and
Charles Tubbs--descendants in the fourth generation of Permelia
Taylor--gathered up the remains of their ancestor and re-interred them
in this place. Philip and Mitchell were brothers of Captain Ebenezer
Taylor.

HISTORY OF TIOGA
COUNTY: Chapter on History of Osceola Township.
"In 1809 Paul Gleason,
who had a few years before married Juda Warren, came into the township
from Dudley, Worcester county, Mass. After residing a few years here and
there he purchased a part of the Daniel Phillips farm at the mouth of
the Island Stream, and lived upon it about thirty years. He was the
first shoemaker who located in the township. The first year he followed
his trade, to use the phrase of that day, he "whipped the cat." He
afterward established a shop, which was located in front and a little to
the east of the residence of Charles Tubbs. This shop, which was built
of logs and heated from a huge fire-place, was for many years the most
important neighborhood resort. Here were to be found for several years
the only newspaper taken in the vicinity and a copy of the "Farmers'
Almanac" for the current year. Here politics, religion and the news of
the day were most discussed. In front of this shop was established the
only grindstone in the neighborhood. It had been purchased by
contribution, and any one was free to use it."

(History of Tioga
County, Osceola Township)
The following men were
drafted from Osceola February 25th 1865: Geo. Barker (furnished
substitute), H. B. Cameron, Oliver chase, Eleazer Clark, Rev. C.
Dillenbeck, Mancier Gleason, M. Ham, Geo. A. Kinney, L. L. Kimball, John
O'Conner, Hiram Taylor, J. W. Teachman (furnished substitute), Isaac
Packson Van Zile, J. Wagner. These men were ordered to report at
Williamsport in March 1865, but a great flood in the rivers prevented
their getting there on the day designated in the order. Another day was
named, but before it arrived Lee had surrendered to Grant and the war
was virtually at an end.
The regiment
designated in the above list as the 42nd regiment Pa. volunteers was
also known as the First Rifles, the Kane Rifle regiment, 13th regiment
Pa. Reserve Corps, and as the Bucktail regiment. It was probably best
known by the latter designation. The 2nd Pa. cavalry was also the 59th
regiment in the line.
In June 1863 Nelson G.
Ray enrolled all persons liable to a draft in Osceola. He was the
officer having charge of the business for this sub-district. He made a
list of all men not manifestly cripples who would be between the ages of
20 and 45 on the first day of July 1863. Osceola had been liberal in
volunteering at the outbreak of the war. She received some credit for
this, and her quota was declared full for all the calls for men until
1864. For the call which had to be filled by March 1st 1864 her quota
was 14, and two these a town bounty of $100 each was paid. Three hundred
dollars were raised by subscription and the balance was raised by tax,
of which the following minute is found in the township records:
"Supervisors met April
25th 1864 at Crandall & Seely's store, and voted to levy ten hundred and
sixty dollars to pay local township bounty for fourteen volunteers for
the late calls from the president."
"Men and boys are
plenty to go for the pay" was a statement of the situation made by a
citizen of the township under date of March 1st 1864.
The quota required of
the township in September 1864 was filled by paying liberal bounties.
The county of Tioga paid a bounty of $300. The Legislature was in
session, and it passed an act August 25th 1864, the material section of
which was as follows:
"SEC. 1.-Be it enacted
that it shall be lawful for the supervisors of the several townships in
the county of Tioga to offer and pay bounties to volunteers to fill the
quota of said townships under the calls of the president of the United
States not exceeding three hundred dollars each; and they are hereby
authorized to borrow money and issue bonds therefor."
Liberal use was made
of the provisions of this law, which applied especially to this county.
These provisions when applied to the utmost did not readily entice men
to volunteer in the spring of 1865, and as has been heretofore seen a
draft was made before the quota was full. But happily the war closed and
the men did not have to go. When it closed strenuous exertions were
being made to obtain volunteers, with prospects of success. From first
to last no drafted men served in the ranks from Osceola. Andrew K.
Bosard and John Tubbs were agents for the township at Harrisburg,
Williamsport and Carlisle. They attended to mustering in the men and
seeing that they were properly accredited.
All these things were
done "that the government of the people, by the people, and for the
people should not perish from the earth."
