. . . recorded Book H, p. 282-283 Hamilton County Ohio, July 31, 1809, ref. Symmes Purchase.

Wherefor now know ye that the said John Cleves Symmes, Register of this office for the time being on the ground above stated, has given, granted, assigned, transferred and set over unto the said Samuel Seward and to his heirs and assigns in fee simple forever all that forfeiture of one hundred and six acres and two thirds of an acre. . . in the Miami Purchase and County of Hamilton in the territory of the United States. . . signed by John Cleves Symmes 2 April, 1798.

     Elizabeth Ann Sewell was born circa 1843 at Tennessee Father born TN, mother born VA.¹ She married Joel Perry Windle, son of Robert Sevier Windle and Amanda Fitzgerald Harris.

     Mary Myrtle Sewell was born in October 1887 at Missouri; Mary lost one of her parents when she was an infant, and there are conflicting versions of her biological parents in online genealogies including her Findagrave.com memorial. For certain, she was raised from infancy by John L. and Mary Francis (Pope) Sewell. John was first married to Martha G. Nulty and she passed in 1885, according to online genealogies, exact date not known. Mary F. Pope was first married to James Scantlin in 1876 and he died in 1887, again according only to online genealogies. Mary (Pope) Scantlin and John L. Sewell were married 21 AUG 1887 in Gasconade County, Missouri, per Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002 (Ancestry.com). Mary Myrtle Sewell is first found in the censuses on the June 1900 census of Center Township, Pratt County, Kansas, page 4A, in the John and Mary Sewell family. She was listed as age 12 with a birth date of OCT 1887.

The best evidence of the correct biological parents of Mary seems to be the newspaper obituary for Mary (Pope, Scantlin) Sewell, as follows:

Pratt Daily Tribune, Pratt, Kansas; Saturday, 26 FEB 1921, Page 4 (Newspapers.com):

Mary Francis Pope was born in Gasconade County, Missouri, on September 11, 1858; and died at her home in Pratt, Kansas at 6:30 a. m. on February 23, 1921.

When eighteen years of age she was united in marriage to James Scantlin near Bland, Missouri. To this union two children were born, one of whom survives her, J. D. Scantlin of Tracy, Minnesota. Mr. Scantlin lived but a few years and in 1888 she was united in marriage with John L. Sewell at Bland, Missouri. To this union four sons were born, all of whom, together with the husband, survive her. The sons are George D. Sewell of Omaha, Nebraska; Roll S. Sewell of Pratt; Boley D. Sewell of Iowa, and Clarence E. Sewell of Kansas City, Missouri. Besides these she leaves to mourn her loss, a step-daughter, Mrs. Claude Davault of this city, whom she has reared from infancy. Mrs. Sewell also leaves five brothers, none of whom are residents of this city.

Mrs. Sewell joined the. Baptist church when she was but eighteen years of age and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pratt.

Mr. and Mrs. Sewell came to Kansas in 1899 and settled in Pratt county. They lived on a farm south of town for three years and the remainder of this time they have lived at their present residence at 609 South Oak Street.

Mrs. Sewell has been an invalid for a number of years but has borne her ill health with a jovial spirit which has made for her a large circle of friends.
