3727 The Bing Cherry

A colorful story in American (and family) history: Henderson and Elizabeth (Presnell) Lewelling.
By Michael C. Presnell, Colonel (Retired) U.S. Army 2017

The Bing Cherry is the most popular variety of Cherry in the United States, and perhaps the world. Its fruit is sweet, juicy, heart-shaped and dark red, making it the standard by which other cherries are judged. Bing Cherries cannot be grown from seed, but instead must be grafted to create the perfect fruit. There were several trees involved in the creation of the original Bing.

Now, as Paul Harvey would say, “And now for the rest of the story…”
Henderson Lewelling, born 23 April 1809, was the son of Meschach Lewelling (1787-1840) and Jane Brookshire (1789-1835).
Elizabeth Presnell, born 18 April 1815, was the daughter of John Presnell (1778-1856) and Hannah Littler (1784-1862).
Henderson and Elizabeth were married on 30 December 1830, at Duck Creek, Henry County, Indiana, their marriage recorded in the Quaker Meeting Records.
Henderson’s older brother, Henry, was married to Elizabeth’ older sister, Rachel Presnell. Henry and Rachel were married on 08 March 1827.

In 1837, these two couples of the Lewelling brothers and Presnell sisters moved to Salem, Iowa another Quaker community in the American frontier. I can imagine it was an interesting trip to Iowa, since the first American settlers had only moved to Iowa in June of 1833 just four years earlier! It was truly a frontier at this time, and Henry and Rachel had 5 of their 10 children at that time, and Henderson and Elizabeth already had 4 of their 10 children already. Iowa was not even established as a Territory until the following year on 4 July 1838.

Having arrived Salem Iowa, Henry and Henderson opened a general merchandise store and established a small commercial nursery. Like many Quaker communities across America, there was considerable debate over the action the community should take in opposing slavery. The Quakers (Society of Friends) opposed slavery, however many members felt that they should not actively participate helping fugitive slaves to freedom. Henderson and Elizabeth attitude on this issue was certain, as they helped to establish the Abolition Friends Monthly Meeting in 1843, and split from the Salem Monthly Meeting. The Salem Monthly Meeting had disowned 50 of its members as a result.

Henderson and Elizabeth’s house in Salem Iowa is known as a most likely location for the early meetings of the Abolition Friends Meetings and very active and important location along the “Underground Railroad.” Today, their home in Salem Iowa is a museum.

Not only were the Lewelling family’s important figures in early Iowa history because of their anti-slavery activities, they are also responsible for being the first to plant fruit trees in the state. In 1837, upon their arrival, they planted 35 varieties of apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums and other small fruits. Ten years later they would pack up their belongings (and many of their fruit trees) and hit the Oregon Trail!

Henderson and his wife Elizabeth, along with their eight children traveled in 1847 from Salem, Iowa, to Oregon with a wag of about 700 fruit trees. According to their son Alfred, the trees were in two boxes filled 12 inches deep filled with compost. The trees ranged in height from 20 inches to 4 feet. Their Iowa neighbors told him them they were crazy. Other members of the wagon train told him he was killing the oxen with such a heavy load. Even his wife Elizabeth and their daughters feared that they thought Henderson cared more for the trees than the rest of his family. All of the family members made it to Oregon, and half of the trees survived the trip.

The group that made this trip were the original settlers at Milwaukee Oregon, just south of Portland and within a few years, the Lewellings had a thriving nursery in Milwaukie on the banks of the Willamette River. He had 100,000 trees for sale at $1 to $1.50 each.
In 1850, Henderson’s younger brothers John and Seth joined him in Oregon.

On 07 March 1851, Elizabeth Presnell Lewelling died in childbirth. Five of the ten children of Henderson and Elizabeth were under the age of ten at that time, and as was customary and necessary, Henderson immediately remarried, on 27 June 1851 to Phebe Grimes.

Despite his successful business that supplied apple, cherry, and other fruit and nut trees to the orchardists of Oregon, Lewelling decided to sell off his orchards and nursery and move to California with enough trees to start another nursery.

In 1854, with son Albert and son-in-law William Meek, he bought 50 acres in the southern end of Alameda County, only to find out that the title to the property was invalid. So they uprooted the orchard and moved to 400 acres on Sausal Creek, which at the time was 5 miles from the Oakland boundary. They named their orchard Fruit Vale and graded a road, still called Fruitvale Avenue, into their property.

Again the business was a rousing success. But Lewelling was a restless soul. He had married two more times and became a widower both times. He remarried for a fourth time.
In 1857, he sold his prosperous orchard and business interest to his younger brother Seth who became the sole owner of the Lewelling Orchards. In 1875, Seth Lewelling’s orchards produced the famous Bing Cherry that is known around the world today. The Bing Cherry is named after Seth’s Chinese foreman, Ah Bing who worked at the Lewelling orchards for more than 35 years.

A Dark Turn

When Henderson sold his orchards to his brother Seth, he and a couple of partners bought a ship bound for Honduras. His purpose was to establish a utopian colony called the Harmonial Brotherhood.

Two sons and their families joined the group. He left his fourth wife behind without any means of support.
Newspapers had a field day reporting that it was to be a free-love colony. It was a disastrous adventure. He lost everything.
By 1860, he was back in California trying to start over. He did not succeed. His wife had divorced him. He was living with his in-laws. One day in December 1878, while burning the grass off a plot to plant more trees, he collapsed and died. His brother-in-law found his burning body.
Lewelling is buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. His tombstone reads: "Father Pacific Horticulture."

3731 The information on Hannah Presnal Spencer and her family comes from a copy of Tyler's Quarterly Magazine, issue unknown, pages 130 and 131. (I am looking for the original copy of this quarterly to obtain more information). In this quarterly is information from Hannah's diary: "This manuscript is intended for the use and satisfaction of my three children, George, Mary Ann, and Shepard, giving the genealogy of the ancestors in my family and my husband's family as far back as I have knowledge. My father - Sheppard Spencer was born in Edgefield District, South Carolina, April 1770, died 26 October 1853 in his 84th year at Sumpter Co., Alabama. His father (my grandfather) was named .......(continued on next page which I do not have)... She married Robert Washington, 8 Dec 1825. Born, 15 Oct 1795, in Brunswick, Co., Virginia.

3732 The marriage record of Peter Joseph Krings and Maria Agnes Schumacher stated that Peter was the son of Johann Krings, a trader in Wuerselen, and Maria Gertrude Leuchter.
And we find a birth record for Peter Joseph Krings in the Parish records of Wuerselen. These parish records are quite comprehensive with about 180 baptismal records per year.
"The 9th of February, 1781, was baptized, Peter Joseph, son of Johann Kreins and Maria Gertrud Leuchter, godparents: Cornelius Bey and Maria Gertrud Puetz."
 
Kreins, Johannes (I15563)
 
3733 THE MIGRATION TO INDIANA In April of 1852 Samuel and Mary moved, with all their minor children from Ohio to Mississinewa MM near Marion, Indiana. Three of the older children were not a part of that move. Of the first, Ann, I have no information. Enos, the eldest son had married in Henry County, Indiana to Rachael Stanbrough and he, his wife and son Obediah followed his parents to Indiana very soon after they had left Ohio. Henry Presnall Moon, the second son, moved to Indiana as a single man but was married to Hannah Ann Brazington in Miami County, Indiana shortly after moving to Indiana. Both Henry P. and Hannah Ann were disowned by the Quakers in Indiana for marriage contrary to discipline and other offenses. Jeremiah, who had moved to Indiana with his parents, married Derinda Steward in Grant County, Indiana. This marriage was also contrary to discipline and Jeremiah was disowned by the Quakers. All of these older children were dropped from the Quaker records at this time, even though there are indications that Enos' membership may have been restored. This loss of connectivity with the Quaker records has greatly increased the difficulty of following the history of those thus affected. THE IOWA INTERLUDE None of these Moons stayed very long in Indiana. In 1856 Samuel and Mary with all their younger children, i.e. Hannah and those born later than she, moved to Salem, Iowa. Enos, Henry P. and Jeremiah went to Iowa with their families. All of these Moon family members resided in Cedar Township on the northern border of Lee County, Iowa and are listed in the Iowa State Census of 1856. This information is consistent with and in confirmation of the Quaker records. All of these family groups appear to have remained in Iowa until the early 1860's. Their daughter, Hannah, died in Lee County, Iowa in 1860 and was buried in Salem. Ruth married John Tease in Lee County in 1858. IMPORTANCE TO FAMILY HISTORY This family history has been developed in great detail because of its importance to the history of this line of the Moons in the Midwest. The movement of these families to the Southeast Minnesota area is, on a smaller scale, somewhat reminiscent of the migration of Joseph and Ann Moon to Ohio about 75 years earlier. The family of Samuel and Mary formed a base for the expansion of the family into the Minnesota, Iowa, and Dakota areas and on the West Coast. While there is currently very little information available concerning the later lives of Samuel and Mary's daughters, there is a great deal of information on the descendants of the sons. Both of these will be interesting areas for further sutdy. It will be most interesting to see to what extent it will be possible to document this later history. Moon, Samuel (I18948)

In 1867 he came to Bollinger County, Mo., and remained one year engaged in teaching. In 1869 he went to Denver Cityand began the study of medicine under the direction of Dr. John Higher. Returning to Madison County, in 1871, he resumed his study with Dr. John Dunnell, of Fredericktown, and remained until 1876, when he entered the University of Nashville, Tenn., from which Institution he graduated, in 1879. Locating at Columbus, Ky., he practiced his profession until 1884, when he came to Bollinger County, where he has since resided. In 1877 he was united in marriage with Mary E. Presnell, of Perry County, Mo. She is a daughter of Steven and Elizabeth (Hudson) Presnell, native of North Carolina and Virginia, respectively.

3742 The Wm Ellis story says m in NC, but probably error as all their children were b Kent Co., MD. Based on her father, John Clarke's will they were m by 8 Jan 1725 since he refers to their m in the will written 1725. Family F5410
 
3743 There is considerable difference in opinion as to the children of James Presnell and Ann Daniel.

Experienced genealogists have varying opinions on the early Presnell families in the new world because records are very scarce.

It is believed that James Presnell grew up on the family farm in the rural area of Dragon Swamp (present day Urbana Virginia) on the shores of the Rhappahannock River

On 14 May 1732 James Presnell was married to Ann Daniel, daughter of Captain William Daniel and Mary Moseley. Her father William was a Captain of Huguenot forces. It was not long after being married, that James, Ann and their children moved from King and Queen County (Dragon Swamp) to Amelia County Virginia (most likely to the area which is present day Prince Edward County, southeast of Green Bay, Virginia).

In March of 1743 James purchased 400 acres of land on Snail Creek and Nottoway River, Amelia County, Virginia. On 10 September 1750 James sold this 400 acres of land to Andrew Harrison of King and Queen County Virginia. Andrew's brother Benjamin Harrison, who lived in Charles County, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, who was also the father of the ninth U.S. President, William Henry Harrison.

On 27 February 1752 James again purchased 400 acres of land in Nottoway Parish, Amelia County Virginia, located on both sides of Deep Creek and Head of a Branch on the Lazaritti River. On 27 November 1755 he sold 150 acres of that land to William Parnell. Records show that Ann Daniel died by 1755 because in the land records it shows that "Relinquist Rights on Land for Anne Daniels."
On 15 October 1766 James sold the remaining 250 acres of land to a Thomas Paine- some claim it was the American Patriot, and politician ( I no longer believe this claim, as Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense did not arrive the colonies until 1774. Was there another Thomas Paine?). On this transaction it shows that "Relinquist Rights on Land for Ruth." This record would lead us to believe that James married a second time to "Ruth." In the 1756 Tithe (Tax) list is shows; James, James, and a slave Jane.
On 2 September 1768, James again purchased 210 acres of land on the south side of the Dan River in Rowan County, North Carolina which is now Rockingham County, North Carolina. He sold this 210 acres of land to William Asten on 18 ovember 1777. It is assumed that at this late age of 69 years that James Presnell moved in with his son at this time on Little River, Randolph County, orth Carolina. A few genealogies show that James Presnell died in 1792.
