Our family ties intermingled. I just wanted to thank you for the family history. Fascinating stuff! My great grandparents were William Madison'Tint' Stogsdill, and Nancy Fore. One of their daughters, Mary Elvira Stogsdill was my grandmother, who married Homer Harris. Any info on these people would be appreciated.Thank you cousin!

His grandparents own a small store there and Steve Allen son Sam Allen bought the place after his parents passed and remodeled it. Sam and his wife lived there several years I remember going there when I was little girl. They sold the place and moved to Kirkwood, Mo where they both died there.

I'm a genealogis...Captain Helm was my kinsman. I'm a genealogist and historian. There is so much more to tell about his role in reducing the British forts in the western territory during the American rebellion. His contributions were so valuable to the war effort that he was granted 3,249 acres in what was known as Clark's Land Grant. I wrote a little excursus about him some time ago. I'll share it here if space permits.<br /><br />The French had built the fort on the Wabash River to check British expansion. They called it Poste Vincents, and around it sprung up the garrison village of Vincennes. The Frenchmen of Vincennes could be counted upon to become the new best friends of whoever took possession of the fort. <br /><br />The British rebuilt it in 1777 and renamed it Fort Sackville for the ease in which it fell into their hands during the French and Indian Wars. It was one of their few outposts in the west during the American rebellion. <br /><br />After the forts at Kaskaskia and Cahokia fell to Col. George Rogers Clark, he sent a small force against the Vincennes outpost. It quickly surrendered to the American captain. He renamed it Fort Patrick Henry. The British commander in Detroit was both incensed and humiliated. He determined to reclaim his fort.<br /><br />Taking a page from young Clark's book, Lt. Colonel Henry Hamilton moved swiftly, but cautiously, towards Vincennes. As his force of 600 neared the old French village he came upon a burning raft. It was a sign that his advance was being monitored.<br /><br />Patrols were quickly dispatched on both sides of the river to capture the American spies. They returned three days later with Capt. Broullet of the Vincennes militia. He was carrying commissions from both the British and the Americans. During his interrogation Broullet revealed the fort was being held by a single officer and only a few men.<br /><br />Hamilton would have an easy victory if the Frenchman was being truthful. But he had been fooled before by such tactics. A captive named Daniel Boone had confessed a great deal of intelligence under duress. Hamilton believed him with disastrous results. He wasn't about to be fooled again.<br /><br />The scouts he had sent forward returned with good news. Not only was Boullet truthful, but Vincennes was already celebrating Hamilton's victory by returning its allegiance to the Crown.<br /><br />The desertion of the Vincennes militia left the American captain without means to repel the forthcoming attack. Nor did he have anything with which to negotiate favorable terms of surrender. He faced a certain unfavorable future which, at best, meant captivity until the war was over. He also faced a bottle of whisky on his desk. It inspired him.<br /><br />Hamilton's approach upon the fort was met with silence. Had the Americans deserted their post? When they were within a few yards the gates slowly began to creak open. <br /><br />Hamilton strained to get a look inside, but the gates only opened enough for him to see a large cannon with a smiling American officer standing next to it. In one hand he held a lighted match. In the other he held a bottle of whiskey. It was an offer Col. Henry Hamilton could not refuse. Captain Leonard Helm was now in a position to negotiate. <br />Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286275682014506456noreply@blogger.com
