"In the front page appears the name of Jesse Hiatt and a date of 1794. Much of the writing is indistingtuishable." (R23).
A history of McLean Co., Illinois, written in 1874, gives the following account of the Maxsons and Hiatts:
"Jonathan Maxson was born June 11, 1820, on a farm about half a mile from the town of Freeport in Harrison County, Ohio. His ancestors were of Scotch, Irish and French descent. He was one of family of ten children. His mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Kinsey, was twice married, and he had four brothers, two sisters and four half sisters. Jonathan was intended by his father to be a farmer, and while a lad he learned the duties of that laborious but independent calling. Farmers' boys do not usually pine away for the want of work, and Jonathan could always find plenty to do. His education was not very well attended to, as educational advantages were not to be had where he lived. He went to school only two terms and learned to read and spell. Some time after the death of his father, David Maxson, his mother married a very worthy man named Jesse Hiatt, and moved to Clinton Co., Ohio. Shortly after this the family determined to move to Illinois, and in the fall of 1830 started on their journey to Tazewell County, (of which MCLean was then a part)., as they had friends and relatives there. They went in two wagons, one under charge of Mr. Hiatt and the other driven by Christopher Kinsey, Jonathan's granddfather. They also had five hundred sheep and four milch cows. Their journey of two hundred and fifty miles occupied twenty-one days, because of the difficulty in taking charge of their large flock of sheep. They camped out every night of their journey, except one, and by day they raveled from point to point without any road to guide them. It was necessary every night to guard the sheep from the wolves, but this was easily done as the frightened sheep huddled closely together. The entire expense of the journey was ten dollars spent for food, which was less than a dollar apiece, as the caravan consisted of eleven persons. They had a very easy and pleasant journey, with no remarkable adventures. One of the party caught in the Whit River, with his hands, an eel about four feet long and weighing six pounds. It made a supper for the whole party. Jonathan says this is not a fish story. The party arrived at Stout's Grove on the twenty-first of September, 1830, but after a few days' of rest proceeded to Dillon's Settlement (now in Tazewell Coutny). After spending two or three weeks in taking observations of the country, Mr. Hiatt returned to Stout's Grove and bought a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, (twenty acres under fence). with a log cabin, for four hundred dollars. One half of the farm was prairie and the other
half timber. Here the family succeeded very well. Mr. Hiatt followed his trade as a blacksmith, and the boys attended to the farm, and they all did well. Jonathan went to school sometimes during winters, for five years. His teacher was Hosea Stout, the nephew of Ephraim Stout, the founder of he settlement at the Grove which bears his name. The school was attended by thirty or forty children, who came great distances and boarded with the farmers nearby. He also went to school to Richard Rowell, a most excellent teacher from New England…."Jonathan Maxson never saw any candy until he was eighteen years of age. How terrible this must have been for a boy. People spun and wove their own clothing. A calico dress to wear on Sunday was a piece of unwarrantable extravagance. The family was always quite independent of the market. Their tea was made from roots and herbs, their sugar from maple sap, and they kept twenty swarms of bees for honey. Jonathan Maxson states that during the winter of the deep snow (1830). he and his brother went out into the woods where it did not drift nor blow away and took a careful measurement of the depth of the snow with a stick and found it four feet deep. During the early part of the terrible winter deer were very numerous, but when the deep snow came they were starved and hunted by famished wolves and by settlers with snow shoes, until they were almost exterminated. Shortly after the snow fell Mr. Jesse Hiatt killed a very large deer, which he was unable to carry home. He buried it in the snow and covered it with his coat to keep the wolves away. But the snow afterwards fell so deep that he was unable to visit the spot for two weeks. At last he put a harness on one of his horses and went to drag it home. On his return with the deer he killed three others and attached them also to his horse. But the load was so hard to drag that he did not return until late at night, when he found the frightened neighbors collected at his house, about to start on search for him. They had collected on horseback with trumpets and horns and various things with which to make unearthly noises, and were no doubt disappointed to find that there was no occasion for their fearful shrieks. The remainder of the night was spent in dressing the deer.
"Some of their neighbors caught deer alive by putting snow-shoes and running them down, but towards the latter part of the winter they were so poor and emaciated that they were hardly worth catching.
"Jonathan's step-father, Jesse Hiatt, kept for a long time a gun with which went through the Black Hawk war….The latter (Captain McClure -- editor). borrowed Mr. Jesse Hiatt's gun and carried it through the Black Hawk war, and when that exciting and troublesome campaign was finished, returned the gun to its owner.
"When Jonathan Maxson was eighteen years of age his stepfather died and upon the former devolved the duty of overseeing the farm. For five years he was head of the family, but at the end of that time the responsibilities of the farm fell upon the younger brothers, and Jonathan was married and had responsibilities of his own….
"It is very easy in this country for friends and relatives to be scattered about; some of Jonathan's relatives are here, and some there, some are in South Bend, Indiana, some in Kansas and some in California…." (R75).
