punishable by fine. The Friends were annoyed by the loss of indispensable articles, taken in lieu of fines, which the poorer members were unable to replace. After this was brought to the attention of the yearly meeting, relief was provided for the distressed by the yearly meeting itself. 59
A Division in the Church


Another serious problem for the early Friends across America was a difference in doctrinal opinion, which caused a widespread church separation under the leadership of Elias Hicks. The new sect of Friends were called Hicksites. Although the Hicksite movement began much earlier than the settlement in Parke County, it did not reach Indiana until about 1828.
In 1851, the quarterly meeting entered into a contract with Barnabas Coffin Hobbs to serve as principal of their school. During his tenure he wrote a paper outlining what he believed to be the causes of the Hicksite Separation. It reads as follows:

"The Causes Which Led to the Hicksite Separation"
by Prof. B. C. Hobbs

"Sixty years ago the New Testament was common as a school book, but a complete copy of the Bible was not often to be found in the families of Friends. When read it was not expected to be explained except by ministers, and as a consequence there was a great indefiniteness in the religious opinions of too many on doctrinal subjects.

They accepted the opinions of those in whom they had confidence when they were positively asserted, and capable and plausible men had great influence in society.

The Society of Friends at this time was distinguished, as it ever has been, for benevolence, temperance, and the social virtues. They were practical Christians. This lack of establishment in Christian faith rendered the hearts of too many a favorable soil for the seeds of heresy to take root and bring forth evil.

About the years 1818 to 1825-8, Elias Hicks, a man who embraced in his character the appearance, language, and manners of the straightest of his sect, and was most sympathetic and benevolent toward the poor, the afflicted, and the oppressed, was known to advance sentiments which undervalued the mediatorial offices and atoning merits of Christ. He often spoke of Him as only a good man. That the Holy Spirit was in Him as it is in us; that His death and sufferings on Calvary were of no value to us only as an example in a devoted life; that His blood was only a metaphor meaning His life or the life of the Holy Spirit. He denied the existence of a devil or an evil agent apart from man's passions, and taught that we are all by nature like Adam in the creation, and fall like he did; that the account in Genesis of the creation, the fall of our first parents, and the garden of Eden, were figurative and unreal; that we must be saved alone by the Holy Spirit in us; and that the scriptures were not all inspired; such as were written by inspiration of God are to be believed; such as were not are of no more binding authority than other books; and that each must judge for himself.

His plausible and winning measures and persuasive eloquence led many unsuspecting men and women astray. Many saw the error of his teaching from the beginning, and gave timely warning. Some took one side and some the other. The controversy waxed earnest, and culminated in a separation, in 1828, in several yearly meetings in America, beginning in New York and ending in Indiana. Meetings, families, and friends were divided. Wounds were made never to be healed. Some were led on in the separation by their love of a libertine faith, while others were influenced by the strong ties of friendship and social relations.

There are some still living who can remember the work of the dark angel. Such refer to it with sad hearts.

The effects of this separation were, however, not without some good. It stirred up the whole society to an earnest searching for the faith once delivered to the saints, and from that day to this the Society of Friends have held a sound faith in the doctrines of redemption by the blood of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God." 60

Although the Hicksite movement caused major convulsions among the Quakers across the country, there was little effect within Parke County, Indiana. The Indiana yearly meeting had prepared a paper, outlining their traditional doctrinal beliefs that was read at the Bloomfield Monthly Meeting on March 1, 1828. At the same meeting, the members confirmed its acceptance and the paper was endorsed. 61
The Rubottoms--Their Land and Their Work


About 1827 Simon Rubottom build a crude grist mill along the bank of Leatherwood Creek in Section 23 of Penn Township. 62 His millwright was an old man named Anthony. The mill was used for only a short time. Apparently, the site was later used for other mills. A good description of Simon's mill was provided by Beckwith:

The machinery consisted of an undershot wheel and one run of burrs . . . each burr in a single piece without any plaster about them. The bolt was a single reel, twelve or fourteen feet long, enclosed in a chest, and was operated by hand. The flour, middlings and shorts, fell into the chest, the bran coming out at the end. The miller separated the flour, middlings and shorts with a wooden shovel, the former being afterward carried upstairs in a half-bushel measure to the bolting hopper. The building was a rough affair, constructed of logs, without chinking or daubing, and no floor except a little around the hopper. When a fire was needed, it was made on the ground, and the smoke allowed to escape through the cracks. 63

The first blacksmiths in Penn Township were John Rubottom, Jack Husband, and Thomas Woody. 64 John Rubottom was the thirteenth of Simon Rubottom's children. During that period, the common smith was expected to make edged tools, such as axes, chisels, drawing-knives, and adzes as well as making horseshoes and repairing all types of ironwork. In those days, they were very frugal with iron and steel. Wagons were constructed with as little metal as possible. Horseshoes were made by splitting wide bars of iron into pieces one inch wide, one-half inch thick, and seven or eight inches long, depending on the horse's size. They were afterward rounded and fitted to the horse. Nails used to affix the horse's shoes were usually made from old shoes or worn-out tires. The price for shoeing a horse was about 62-1/2 cents, if the owner supplied the iron, and $1 to $1.25 if it was supplied by the smith. 65
A New School and A New Church


A subscription school of hewed logs was built in 1830 near where the current Friends Church now stands in Bloomingdale. It had two brick chimneys, glass windows, and a floor of sawed lumber. The subjects taught included reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, and geography. English grammar was offered only at recess because many Friends objected to its teaching. 66
The Bloomfield Friends decided to build a second church in 1832. In April 1833 a building committee was formed to make plans for the church. It was to be 35' by 70' and 10-1/2' from floor to ceiling, and would cost about $650. The church was completed in 1834. 67
In Other Counties


While some of Simon and Elizabeth Rubottom's children had joined them in their relocation to Parke County, others sought their own lives and their own land in other parts of southwestern Indiana and southeastern Illinois. All, however, were within travelling distance of Parke County.
Joseph, the eldest child, lived in Orange County in 1820. 68 In 1830 he was listed in the Parke County Census living very near his father. 69 Between 1830 and 1840, he and his family settled in Greene County, Indiana, 70 where he, his wife Elizabeth, and his children remained until about 1851 when they made a final move to Clark County, Illinois. 71
In 1820, Mary (Rubottom) Dixon and her husband James Dixon lived next to Simon Rubottom in Lawrence County. 72 They were living in Parke County in 1840. 73 By 1850, they had moved to Crawford County, Illinois, 74 along with her sister Hannah (Rubottom) Dix and family, 75 and her brother Zeno Rubottom and family. 76
Jane (Rubottom) Cox and her husband William Cox resided in Lawrence County in 182077 and remained there for the duration of their lives. They reared a large family and some of their descendants remain in Lawrence County, Indiana today.
George Rubottom moved to Morgan County, Indiana early in 1825. He and his second wife, Elizabeth (Doan) Rubottom, were granted a certificate of transfer from Lick Creek Monthly Meeting on December 12, 1824, 78 and were received by the White Lick Monthly Meeting on February 12, 1825. 79 White Lick Monthly Meeting was set off from the Lick Creek Monthly Meeting and held its first meeting on August 9, 1823. 80 The church was located in Brown Township, near Mooresville. George and Elizabeth (Doan) Rubottom were among the earliest members of the church and the community, along with her parents, Jonathan and Rachel Doan, and many of her brothers and sisters. George and Elizabeth settled in Monroe Township, one of the oldest parts of Morgan County. The good tract of rolling land was a rich sandy loam, well-suited for farming. George Rubottom was included as a Morgan County tax payer in 1842. 81
Samuel Rubottom, the tenth child and fifth son of Simon and Elizabeth, lived in Lawrence County with or near his parents in 1820. It appears that he, too, moved to Parke County sometime in the 1820's as he is listed there in the 1830 U.S. Census. Samuel appears to have had a very difficult life. As mentioned earlier, he married Louisa Williams, a young lady from a very prominent family in Lawrence County, on June 26, 1823. Louisa died in Parke County on November 22, 1830 of "milk sickness," a complication following childbirth. 82 Samuel must have returned to Lawrence County following Louisa's death, as he married second to Deniza Evans on May 15, 1831. 83 No information has been obtained about their marriage or whether they had any children. However, it seems that Deniza, too, must have died because Samuel was married for the third time to Deborah Evans on April 10, 1836. 84 No relationship between Deniza and Deborah has yet been proven. In the 1840 U. S. Census, Samuel lived in Lawrence County with a female (presumed his wife) age 20 to 30, a boy under five, and a girl under five. 85 On September 26, 1847, Samuel was married to his fourth wife, Mahala Wyrick, in Clark County, Illinois. 86 They resided in Clark County in the 1850 U.S. Census. 87 Samuel died December 3, 1860 and was buried in Auburn Cemetery in Clark County, Illinois. 88
It was nearly impossible for the author to identify the children of Samuel Rubottom. Each census indicated that children resided in his household. But the children were not listed by name in the U.S. Census until 1850. Because Samuel was not active in the Quaker faith, his children are not found listed in those records either. Caleb Rubottom was located living with another family in the 1850 U.S. Census, Lawrence County, Indiana, 89 where Samuel had lived until the late 1840s. He is of the correct age to have been Samuel's son; however, no substantiating evidence has been found.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following section on John Rubottom was updated and rewritten in July 1999.) John Rubottom, third great grandfather of the author, lived in Parke County with his parents for a few years working as a blacksmith. On July 4, 1830 he married Anna Fisher in Lawrence County.90 In the 1840, 1850, and 1860 censuses, he and his family were found residing in Greene County, Indiana where he farmed and, like his father, worked as a blacksmith and gunsmith. John's eldest son Simon D. Rubottom died on November 6, 1861 of Camp Measles while serving in Company D, 14th Indiana Infantry. By 1863, John and Anna had moved their remaining family to Hutsonville, Crawford County, Illinois. Unfortunately, in 1865 their second son, John P. V., also died of Camp Measles while sering with Company C, 155th Illinois Infantry. They stayed in Illinois until 1867, when in hopes of improving John's failing health, the family moved south to Benton County, Arkansas.
The family's move to Benton is well-documented at the National Archives in a thick folder of pension records filed by Anna Fisher Rubottom on her unmarried son, Simon D. Rubottom. In an affidavit filed on June 12, 1889, Joseph C. Cox, owner of the Elkhorn Tavern, made the following statement:

"The first time I ever seed John Rubottom was in the fall of 1867 at a place in this county called Twelve Corners. They was encamped at the time he said to rest for his health. They was among the few first comers from the North. In a few days he came to the mountain just west of me and selected him a homestead in less than one mile of where I lived then and now as I have lived at the same place thirty three years known as the Elk Horn Tavern. He had logs cut as he was not able to cut them himself and haled them together in the woods and the neighbors went in and helped him or raised a home for him for he did not help do it. For I remember that Mr. John Rubottom and my father Jesse Cox both old and feable sat under a Jack Oak tree. Mr. Rubottom would pack us watter for us while we put up the house and further I testify that I saw him ever week or two. He was often at home and during the year 1868 he put up a shop--a turning lather and a sort of a set of gun smith tools. I was often at his shop during the time he lived. Some times he could work and some times he could not work. He was very poor. He was at no time able to do half a man's work. He died in the Spring of 1869. Mrs. Anna Rubottom his widow has lived near me ever since and has not remarried and is very poor but work all she was able to to support herself and dather Sarah she being a helpless crible (sic) from her birth."

Another affidavit filed on the same day by Mahala Cox, also from Elkhorn Tavern, adds the following:

"I became acquainted with John Rubottom and his wife Anna Rubottom in the year 1867 or 1868. Mr John Rubottom died in the Spring 1869. I was at his house during his last sickness. They was very poor people with daughter who was a criple from her birth. Mrs. Anna Rubottom and her daughter Sarrah has lived by there laber for they had no income only what they work for. They have worked for me a great many times in diferent ways peacing quilts and kniting woollen yarn into socks and stockings. I paid them in meat and cloth to make them clothes of and other things."

John Rubottom, who suffered from severe rheumatism and asthma, died on May 12, 1869, only two years after his arrival in Benton County. The author found his grave at Twelve Corners Cemetery in Benton County. It is marked only by a large sandstone rock that was roughly etched with his name and death date. Undoubtedly, this was done by his only surviving son, Samuel Elisha Rubottom. As stated above, his wife and family continued to live on the Pea Ridge Mountain following his death. Anna Rubottom's request for a mother's pension, first filed in 1878, was finally approved September 27, 1889. Unfortunately, Anna had died July 15, 1889, one month and three days after Joseph and Mahala Cox filed their affidavits.
The Passing of Simon Rubottom


Simon Rubottom, the father who led his fifteen children and their families on the long journey from North Carolina to Indiana, died on July 22, 1837, of asthma at the age of 68 years, 3 months, and 9 days. He was laid to rest in the Bloomingdale Friends Cemetery. 91 His will was probated August 7, 1837 and reads as follows: 92

Know all men by these present that I Simon Rubottom of the county of Parke, and State of Indiana, being of sound mind do make and ordain this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following to wit; In the first place my will and desire is that all my just debts and contracts be punctually paid, And secondly that my wife Elizabeth, if she should survive me should have her support and comfortable mentenance (sic) during her life time off of my real estate, and my desire is that my executors hereinafter named, may faithfully and punctually see thereto; And thirdly as I have gave to all my sons what I allowed for their apportionment of my estate, it being about one hundred and seventy five dollars each, except to my sons John and Zeno Rubottom, and to my son John I give and bequeth (sic) my gunsmith tools, exclusive of the blacksmith tools, to make him up equal in apportionment with the other my sons and to my son Zeno I give and bequeth the real estate that I now own subject to my wife Elizabeth mentenance (sic) during her life time, as specified heretofore, it being the, the (sic) east half of the Southeast quarter of Section twenty three Town Sixteen, N of Range eight West and also the southwest half of west half of southwest quarter of Section twenty four, the same Town and Range as heretofore specified, with all the improvements that is or may hereafter be affixed thereon; And I have heretofore gave to each and every one of my daughters what I allowed to be their apportionment it being about one hundred and thirty dollars each except to my daughter Hannah, wife of William Dix, to her I will and bequeath the sum of ten dollars, to make her up square with my other daughters.

I wish for my executors to select two disinterested men, to value the same, and their jugment (sic) and valuation thereof to be final. And lastly I request, make and appoint Mahlon Reynolds, and Ezekiel Rubottom, executors to this my last will & testament and request them to see that this my will be punctually complied with. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this the 20th day of 5th month in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven.
Attest
Simon Rubottom
Jeremiah H. Siler William Pickard




Simon Rubottom left a perplexing situation by mentioning his granddaughter Semira, whom he raised in his home. She was never mentioned in the Quaker records. The only other evidence of Semira is a marriage certificate found at the Parke County Courthouse, when she and Allen Middleton were married on March 5, 1846. 93 A possible clue is found in the Bloomfield Meeting Records. On February 2, 1828, Simon and Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth, was complained of for having an illegitimate child. 94 If this was the child reared by Simon and Elizabeth, she would be about the age of 10 at Simon's death, and would have been about 18 at her marriage. Again, the author admits that this is simply conjecture at this point.
A Concern for Education


The Society of Friends had a great concern for the education of their children. Reports from the Education Committee were given at various quarterly meetings. The Friends concern for education extended beyond their own subscription schools. Some schools were under the authority of townships, but under the care of Friends. They were also concerned that children of color were receiving a proper education. For this reason they made a census at times of children of color and made inquiries as to their educational opportunities.
The Education Committee was very selective about their teachers. The teachers were carefully watched that their walks of life, including both dress and address, were in accordance with Friends' ideals.
The Underground Railroad


The Society of Friends held a belief that all persons were created equal, that freedom was a birthright of every individual. For this reason, they were especially active in the anti-slavery movement. Moving from the southern slave states to new "Northwest" did not stop their anti-slavery work.
In Guilford, North Carolina, Vestal Coffin began, in 1819, what became known as the "Underground Railroad," an organization that assisted runaway slaves on their way to Canada. Vestal Coffin's cousin in Indiana, Levi Coffin, became the chief Quaker in this effort and was known as the President of the organization. They devised clever systems and routes to move slaves to freedom through Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The routes were called "underground" because they were conducted at night to avoid pursuit. During the day, the escaped slave was secreted in or around the home of a sponsor until the next nightfall. Most of these were Quaker homes and were called "stations."
Not all Friends agreed with this method of freeing slaves because it posed a moral dilemma. While they were openly opposed to slavery and took great efforts to act out their beliefs, they were also opposed to "deviousness." The anti-slavery work was conducted in secrecy, appearing to promote the value of falsehoods. Thus, Quakers were split in their vocal support of this work. 95
Many of the Quakers, and some non-Quakers known as Abolitionists, did agree to assist the runaway slaves, although only a few were actually members of the organization called "the Underground Railroad." 96
The leading members in Morgan County were Jonathan Doan and his sons and relatives. They were known to take many a runaway to another station in Marion or Hendricks County. On one trip they took a load of five persons northward. 97 George Rubottom, who also resided in Morgan County, was Jonathan Doan's son-in-law. He and his wife Elizabeth (Doan) were likely involved in the underground efforts.
Friends in Parke County had two main underground railroad stations: the Coffin home near Annapolis and the Alfred Hadley home north of the railroad underpass on Highway 41. There is an inaccessible marker on the west side of the road commemorating their work. 98
The Second Wave of Migration


The first stage of westward migration began with the Ordinance of 1787, which opened up the Northwest Territory as far west as the Mississippi River. The Louisiana Purchase from the French in 1803 opened lands beyond the river toward the expansive west. Following this purchase came the second wave of mass migration.
Many wagon trains, filled with all the family possessions, and accompanied by herds of cattle, crossed the Mississippi and moved into Iowa Territory. Between 1850 and 1860 the population of Iowa grew from 192,000 to 675,000. This was followed soon by expansion into Nebraska and Kansas.
The first Quaker to enter Iowa, in 1835, was Isaac Pidgeon with his wife and seven children. 99 They were followed shortly afterwards by Aaron Street and his family, then Peter Boyer and his family. They established homes near present-day Salem. The men were determined to start a Quaker community in Iowa. 100
The first meeting for worship was held in the home of Henry W. Joy. 101 In 1838 the first monthly meeting was set off by Vermillion Quarterly Meeting of the Indiana Yearly Meeting. The members of the committee appointed by the Vermillion Quarterly Meeting to begin the new meeting were Abraham Holaday, Thomas Rubottom, Jeremiah H. Siler, Henry Pickard, and Achsah Newlin. The meeting was opened under the following minute: "Salem Monthly Meeting of Friends, first opened and held in Salem, Henry County, Iowa Territory, on the 8th day of the 10th Month 1838." They then held the first Quaker meeting west of the Mississippi River. 102
A sizable number of Rubottom descendants and other Quaker families participated in this westward expansion. While there were a few Quaker settlements in Illinois, it appeared as though the Quakers simply jumped over the great farmlands of Illinois in their move toward the west.
George Rubottom, a number of his children, and a daughter of Thomas Rubottom relocated in Iowa between 1850 and 1860. The families included: George and Elizabeth Rubottom, with their children Jesse and Ervina; Sophia (Rubottom) Doan and her children; Levi and Louisa Amanda (Thompson) Rubottom and children; Farlow and Jane Rubottom and children; Simon Dunn and Sarah (Ballard) Rubottom and children; and, Carver and Lucinda (Rubottom) Benbow and children. It appears that many of the children remained in Iowa for a number of years, as they were tracked through census searches up through 1900.
Many descendants of Simon and Elizabeth Rubottom continued the drive west and southwest. Their progression was found in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, California and Oregon records.
The Civil War


Most United States citizens by 1860 knew that trouble between the North and the South had reached the boiling point. Sectional differences over issues of slavery had worsened substantially over the years. By the first of February 1861, seven southern states had seceded from the Union.
Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as President of the United States on March 4, 1861. He was soon required to deal with the issue of protecting federal forts in seceded states. A resolution was drawn up to evacuate all of the federal troops from those forts, except those at Key West and Tortugas. Ships were soon in route to Fort Sumpter at Charleston, South Carolina. Word of this initiated firing upon the fort, and on April 12, 1861, the fort fell. The Civil War had begun.
It has been well-established that the Society of Friends were staunch peacemakers and were adamantly opposed to any kind of war. But it posed a grave moral dilemma for some, because they were equally as opposed to slavery. For that and other reasons, there were a fair number of Quaker men who enrolled in the Volunteer Army to serve in the Civil War. Additionally, some of the Rubottom descendants by this time had left the Quaker church to join other denominations and were not bound by these anti-military constraints.
The Rubottom men who enlisted in the Union Army are as follows:

Indiana Volunteer Army103

Alphonzo Rubottom, son of Laban and Anna (Hill) Rubottom, served in Company G, 133rd Indiana Infantry, as a private.
[AUTHOR'S UPDATE: Alphonzo Rubottom was the son of Laban and Anna Hill Rubottom, grandson of Thomas and Edith Dixon Rubottom, and great-grandson of Simon and Elizabeth Dunn Rubottom. Alphonzo claimed and received an Invalid's Pension in 1897. Following his death in 1905, his wife Luella Siler Rubottom filed a pension claim as guardian of his minor children. There are numerous important records contained in this pension file. They may be found at the National Archives under the following numbers: Invalid's Appl. # 1193873, Cert. #991321 (filed June 30, 1897 from MO) and Minor's Appl. # 837636, Cert. # 611273 (filed Nov. 6, 1905 from MO). Surgeon's reports in Alphonzo's later life state that he was about 5'9" or 5'10" in height, weighed about 142 pounds, had dark complexion, black hair, and black eyes. Although he was married in Parke County, IN, at the time he filed his pension claim, he was living in Jackson County, MO very near Kansas City.]
