Notable Men in Warren County History

DAVID BEATY
David Beaty was born in Beaver County, Pennsylvania on October 26, 1811, the sixth of thirteen children. When he was nineteen he came to Chautauqua County, New York, where he worked on farms for four years. Then he moved to Tionesta, Pennsylvania and engaged in lumbering for five years. In 1843 he moved to West Hickory and was married to Abigail Mead. Here he did farming and lumbering.
When the oil excitement occurred he started his petroleum operations on Oil Creek, eight miles south of Titusville. He finally left the farm and lumbering and devoted full time to the oil industry.
He had left home with $1.75 in his pocket, walked one hundred thirty miles and selected farming, lumbering and oil to make his fortune. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams and became a very influential man in his community.
He came to Warren in 1873 and built his home. He owned over five hundred acres in Warren County and four thousand acres in Dakota.

ARCH BRISTOW
Arch Bristow was born 1882, in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, where his father a Presbyterian minister had settled after coming to America.
The Rev. Bristow accepted a parish in the village of Garland, Pennsylvania, and thereafter it was home to Arch even though he worked as a cartoonist for the New York World, Pittsburgh Post, Johnstown Tribune and in Cleveland. He enjoyed cartooning, but liked writing more. His first book was Old Time Tales of Warren County. He also wrote many stories about lumbering, oil, keel-boating, Chief Cornplanter, Ben Hogan, Guy Irvine, Dr. Blodgett as well as many more like The Mystery of Whitehead Hill. He was probably best known for writing and publishing a small magazine called The Hay Rake, which contained facts, fiction, stories, poems and wise sayings. It also had its own list of characters full of fun and wit with philosophy thrown in for good measure.
Arch had a wonderful and vivid imagination. He was a kindly man and often helped others. He once taught a boy cartooning and devoted many Saturday mornings to this lad, who was Fred Johnson of Spring Creek, the creator and cartoonist of the comic strip “Moon Mullins”. Arch Bristow’s last newspaper work was a daily column for the Erie Morning News. He called himself the “Sage of Garland.”

JOHN CHAPMAN
John Chapman, a tall, stalwart Yankee, living in the Wyoming valley of Pennsylvania, heard the favorable reports of the Allegheny country. He left there in November 1797 with a sack of apple seeds, his rifle and tomahawk, just enough provisions in his knapsack to make the trip unhindered, and barefooted. Then suddenly there was a furious onslaught of winter. Snow fell until it piled up three feet on the level, and young John was caught a hundred miles from his starting place without adequate protection or supplies. He had to devise boots from his blanket coat and snowshoes from beech brush. Pursuing his lonely journey through Potter and McKean Counties, he arrived in Warren in December. The following spring he selected nurseries on the Big Brokenstraw to plant his apple seeds. He established another nursery around Franklin on the Allegheny River before traveling through Ohio and into Indiana, always sowing his apple seeds.
“Johnny Appleseed” traveled up and down the frontier for years, living off the country and once in a while stopping at a settlement. There is a record of his buying some cheese at the Indian Trading post at the Buckaloons.

LEWIS G. CLARKE:  The Real-Life George Harris in UNCLE TOM'S CABIN
An escaped slave, Clarke became friends with the sister-in-law of author Harriet Beecher Stowe.  Mrs. Catherine Beecher helped Clarke learn to read and write at her home in Massachusetts which resulted in the publication of Clarke's slave narrative.  In the late 1840's, Clarke migrated to Sugar Grove where he lived with and was employed by the family of Stephen and Mary Northrup Gardner on Old State Road until his marriage when he moved to neighboring Busti, NY.

THOMAS CLEMONS
Thomas Clemons was born in 1802 in Franklin, Pennsylvania. At the age of sixteen, he moved from Franklin to Meadville. On July 30, 1823, he was bound to Thomas Hoey to learn the tanner’s trade. His apprenticeship lasted two and a half years. However, after leaving Meadville he did not work at the trade.
During his long residence in Warren, Thomas Clemons engaged in many business activities, but chiefly in the lumbering and printing business. He was, at various times, either editor or publisher of the Warren Gazette, Voice of the People, Democratic Advocate and the Warren Ledger.
In 1838 he was elected to the borough council, and in 1839 was appointed county treasurer. He served eleven years on the borough council. He held the office of burgess in 1859; was prothonotary from 1845 to 1858. He was a staunch democrat and had a lot of sympathy for the south, but when the war came his loyalty was with the union.
He married in 1830 and had nine children.
During the panic and depression of 1857 the local school system had no money to purchase books. Mr. Clemons sold some of his property, bought a set of books and had his children copy them to provide more books for the schools.
He built a house in 1838 on the corner of Hickory Street and Fourth Avenue. He lived in this house until his death in 1872. The house was razed in 1966 and the site was donated as a park to the borough of Warren.

CHIEF CORNPLANTER
Chief Cornplanter or John Abeel was the son of a Dutch trader and Seneca Indian mother, and was born about 1750 at Ganawagus, New York. He was a member of the Wolf clan as were Kiasutha, Red Jacket, Handsome Lake and Governor Blacksnake, all principals in the drama of Indian-White relations, which spanned the remainder of the century after 1755. The Senecas were the farthest west of the six nations making up the League of the Iroquois, and the most numerous and powerful. Cornplanter was the principal war chief of the confederation. After the war with England was over, the settlers started pushing the Indians westward and the huge land companies had plans for settling the whole country. History records that the man who faced this issue in the most statesmanlike manner was Cornplanter. He foresaw that any opposition would lead to the annihilation of all the Indians and that peaceful bargaining could save his people and preserve for them a small portion of the lands over which they once held complete dominion.
Cornplanter became disillusioned with the whites after 1812 because of their terrible treatment of the Indians. He burned his military uniform, broke his swords, destroyed all his medals, closed the Indian schools and sent the missionaries away.
He died on the Cornplanter Tract February 18, 1836. He was the first Indian to be honored with a monument in the United States.

The following year he bought out his partner and changed the name of the newspaper to the Warren Mail. With the exception of one brief interruption, he was associated with this paper for 45 years. The influence of his paper helped to turn Warren County from Democrat to Republican. His paper published many educational articles and histories.
He was a champion of better schools and teachers and a very knowledgeable writer.
He was elected county treasurer for two years and in 1861 was elected assemblyman from Warren and Crawford Counties. During the Civil War he worked in Washington as a clerk in the Department of the Interior and also the House of Representatives.
Ephraim Cowan taught his sons, Willis and Dwight, to compose news stories in their heads while setting type, and they became partners in their father’s paper. He also taught the printer’s trade to John Newell, who started at age 14 and later organized the Newell Press at age 24.
Mr. Cowan was appointed deputy collector of internal revenue for Warren, Elk, McKean and Cameron Counties for 11 years. He went back to Washington in 1890 as secretary in the government office of public printer.

Smith, the most famous of the mountain men. David Jackson was the discoverer of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He became a partner in the famous fur trading company of Smith, Jackson and Sublette. As Jedediah Smith engaged in exploring and discovering new trapping territories, it was Jackson and Sublette who were in charge of the trappers who trapped the furs and made the money for the company. Very little is known about his life and work other than his name being mentioned in the journals and diaries of Jedediah Smith.
