| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | Joseph Buell Papers
| | | | Creator: | Buell, Joseph | | | | Dates: | 1806-1812 | | | | Abstract: | Joseph Buell (1763-1812) was a soldier in the United States Army and the Ohio Militia, a politician and jurist, and an early settler and prominent citizen in Marietta, Ohio. He served in the Regular Army of the United States (1787-1788), arriving at Fort Harmar, near Marietta, in 1786. Before leaving the Army in 1788, Buell purchased land in the Symmes Purchase of the Ohio country, returning to settle in Marietta in 1790. Buell served as a state senator (1803-1805) and an associate justice of the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County (1803-1810). He was also appointed Major General in the Ohio Militia. In this role, he participated in the seizing of boats under construction for Aaron Burr and Harmon Blennerhassett near Marietta in 1806. He proclaimed martial law in Marietta in December 1806 and instituted a blockade of the Ohio River, requiring all vessels to put into Marietta for inspection until Burr and Blennerhassett were arrested in 1807. Buell, under orders of Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War, disposed of the seized property. The collection consists of an Ohio arrest warrant for Harman Blennerhassett (1806), correspondence (1806-1807), a fair hand copy of the complaint, motions, testimonies, evidence, and judgment of the lawsuit Robert Miller vs. Aaron Burr before the Court of Common Pleas of Washington County, Ohio (1812), interrogatories and a summons in the treason trial United States vs. Aaron Burr (1807), an inventory of property belonging to and persons employed by Harman Blennerhassett seized by Buell's militia December 13, 1806, and undated and unattributed research notes, hand and typewritten, relating to Burr's application for Army pension (1833) and the divorce action Eliza B. Burr vs. Aaron Burr (1836). Notable correspondents include Edward Tiffin, Henry Dearborn, John George Jackson, Thomas Kirker, and Caesar Augustus Rodney. | | | | Call #: | MS 3433 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Buell, Joseph, 1763-1812. | Blennerhassett, Harman, 1765-1831. | Burr, Aaron, 1756-1836. | Dearborn, Henry, 1751-1829. | Jackson, John George, 1777-1825. | Kirker, Thomas, 1760-1837. | Rodney, C.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Joseph Buell Family Papers
| | | | Creator: | Buell, Joseph Family | | | | Dates: | 1785-1956 | | | | Abstract: | The Buell family was a pioneer family from Connecticut who helped settle Marietta, Ohio. Joseph Buell was a sergeant at Fort Harmar, across the Muskingum River from Marietta, when the first settling party from the Ohio Company arrived in April 1788. He later settled in Marietta with his family. Joseph Buell ran a successful tavern. In addition, he was appointed an associate justice of the Washington County Court of Common Pleas and a major general in the Ohio Militia in 1803, and served an elected state senator from 1803-1805. Joseph's brother Timothy Buell was a captain in the militia and also served as a county magistrate, a state representative from 1820-1822, and sheriff of Washington County. Many of their descendants were also prominent in the affairs of Marietta and Washington County. The collection consists of correspondence, genealogical material, transcripts of journals, and family recollections of the settlement of the Ohio frontier. The major part of the collection consists of correspondence between members of the Buell family (1810-1890). Genealogical material is composed of charts, histories, sketches, notes, and a memorial and refers to the Buell family and related Curtis, Tupper, Lewis, Nye, and Gray families. Included is a history of the Lewis family which claims lineage from George Washington and a pedigree evidencing the Washington-Lewis line. The collection is of value for those interested in the settlement and development of the Ohio frontier and the Northwest Territory, and the establishment of Marietta, Ohio. It includes a transcript of a journal of Sergeant Joseph Buell, kept from 1785-1789 and detailing the establishment and maintenance of a frontier military outpost. Extensive materials on the process of recruiting soldiers for service in the 63rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry regiment during the Civil War are included in William H. Buell's papers. Also of interest are the recollections of Pheobe Wood Putnam concerning her journey from Connecticut to settle in Marietta, and Anselm Tupper Nye and unidentified members of the Buell family concerning the settlement of Miami County. Genealogists will find useful records on the Buell, Curtis, Gray, Lewis, Nye, and Tupper families of southern Ohio. | | | | Call #: | MS 3664 | | | | Extent: | 0.80 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Buell family. | Curtis family. | Tupper family. | Lewis family. | Nye family. | Gray family. | Buell, Joseph, 1763-1812. | Buell, William H. | Nye, Anselm Tupper, 1797-1881. | United States Army.
