Notities over William Terrell

[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 9, Ed. 1, Tree #2432, Date of Import: Oct 20, 2000] WILLIAM TERREL was born at the family farm in Champaign County Ohio, in about 1798. On 18 April 1828, he married Margaret Wilson in Champaign County and they established their home near those of his brothers and sisters and their families. The influx of new settlers had developed the area into a close community of farms and the large acreage his father had claimed now seemed very limited when divided between the families of his children. In 1802 Ohio had been admitted to the Union and the fertile fields in the rolling hills had attracted many. Settlers often moved in, improved the land, and built their homes, without bothering about title to the land. These settlers were called squatters. Real estate speculators often worked with shrewd lawyers to take the squatter's lands away from them and these speculators were called claim jumpers. So in 1841 Congress had established the right of preemption. Under this system, a person could simply file an application for land and move in. Anyone who improved a piece of land and lived on it for six months could then buy it from the government for only $1.25 an acre. This meant the squatter had a right to buy his land ahead of anyone else. The purpose of the plan was to make it easy for new settlers to become landowners. No one could get more than 160 acres, and persons who already owned as much as 320 acares could not get more by preemption. A married woman living with her husband could not take up land in this way, and neither could a person who moved from his residence to another part of the same state. In Ohio, it meant a rapid growth in population and a crowding into smaller pieces of land. By 1825 construction had begun on two Ohio canals; and in 1832 the first Ohio railway, the Mad River and Lake Erie, was chartered. During the fifty years in which preemption was in force, about 200,000,000 acres passed from the government to private owners; Congress abolished the system in 1891. William and Margaret knew their children would seek new territories and it was William and Josiah who ventured out first. The brothers had talked of new territory to settle and had made a scouting trip into Illinois before a final farewell to their parents, brothers and sisters.
