Biography

Birth

1815 (abt) • Kaskaskia, Randolph County, Illinois (1815–1882)

1815 (abt) • Kaskaskia, Randolph County, Illinois Birth of Sister Susanah Standlee (1815–)

Residence 1818 • Union County, Illinois

Analysis: The entry for Siph Standlee shows Free White Males 21 and up - 1 All other white inhabitants - 8

This would appear to be Siph, wife Mary and 7 others. The two oldest know children, David and Elizabeth, are married with families of thier own by 1818 so they are unlikely to be part of this count. Below I will name 6 known children of this family, but this number would have 7 white inhabitants unaccounted for. Some reasearchers offer that there was a Cypheros II as part of this family, that passed away by 1820. I have not found any support for such a son. Whether the missing person is an unnamed child, and unnamed relative, or perhaps a farm hand is not know. The six children that can be named are: John, Hannah, Sarah, Abraham, Susannah, and Joseph W.

Karen, I haven't found an 1820 census record for Onesiphorus, yet, either. But google---1818 State Census, Union, Illinois. Onesiphorus (Onyciphorus ) is listed as Siph Standley. Others listed are Susannah Boren, Hoza Boren, John Boren, and Morgain (Morgan) Boren. Bazel Boren Sr., brother of our William Boren had left Robertson, Tennessee and settled in Union, Illinois, before his death. It was in Union, Illinois, that his old traveling companion, Daniel Boone, was said to have visited him, bringing him the gift of his favorite hunting dog "Neddie", named after Daniel's brother who had been killed fighting Indians. Bazel's widow Susannah was still living in Union, Illinois, in 1818. There is a story that she may have died in Eureka Springs, Arkansas---known for the springs which healed many diseases. The same story is told of Elizabeth Standlee, wife of Isaac Boren, Sr. (my g-g-g grandparents). Most likely, Susannah (who was the daughter of Morgan Bryan II and granddaughter of Morgan I) died in Union, Illinois. The John listed is most likely her son John Boren . The Morgain (Morgan) listed is her son Morgan Bryan(t) Boren. The Hoza (Hosea) Boren listed---I'm not sure of. Bazel and Susannah possibly had a son named Hosea, but I haven't found him on any list of their children. William Boren had a brother named Hosea who married a McIntosh- --possibly they had moved to Union, Illinois. William also had a son named Hosea, who eventually came to Arkansas with the Standlees and Borens ---but eventually settled in the Madison/Franklin Counties area. William Piles (Pyle) is also listed on the 1818 State Census for Union, Illinois. William Pyle, Jr. and Hannah Standlee were not married until 1821 ; therefore, he would have probably been living in his parents' home in 1818; I think this William Piles is William Pyle Sr. (married to Elizabeth Kirby). He died in 1832 in Carbondale, Union, Illinois. Also a Mary Boon and a Squire Boon are listed---names common in the Boone family ---I can't pinpoint which ones they were on my tree. I believe that at some point Elizabeth Standlee and Isaac Boren, SR. joined her parents and his uncle and aunt (Bazel and Susannah) in Union, Illinois. Census records give their oldest son, Iredell's place of birth as Illinois . They had moved to Wayne, Missouri, by 1823, year of the birth of son Stephen Boren.---Judy

I'd like to elaborate on the text at the link above: The first settlement on War Eagle Creek, in Benton County, was made by two brothers known as bear hunters, their names being Isaac and Levi Borne (brothers to my Susan Boren, wife of John Standlee). They came from Illinois early in the spring of 1832, and settled above the present War Eagle Mills, and each one raised three acres of corn that year. The following fall Absalom Thomas (husband to Oney's daughter Sarah), Henry Taber, Lewis Russell, Robert Taber, William Brazeel and a Mr. Nelson all settled with their families in that neighborhood, and in December of that year Sylvanus Blackburn, Josiah Blackburn, Julius Kirk and Matthew Brewer with their families, all from Hickman County, Tenn., settled in the same neighborhood. The latter party came by way of Springfield, Mo., and, crossing what is now the line between Missouri and Arkansas, on the old State road passing north and south, they reached the cabin of John Fitzgerald, then living near the present village of Lowell, and stayed there over night. The next day, leaving their families at Fitzgerald’s, they prospected for and selected their respective locations, and then moved thereon. Sylvanus Blackburn located on the place, at the present War Eagle Mills, where he and his estimable wife, who then accompanied him, are still residing, he being in his eightieth year at this time, and she being about the same age. Julius Kirk settled on the creek about half a mile below the mill site and Matthew Brewer about three-fourths of a mile above it. Mr. Blackburn and his wife are the only survivors of these settlers. The next year John, David and Abram Stanley, James Borne (my John Standlee and his brothers, and that's James Boren, one of mine as well), James Matthews and Daniel Flannery settled in that neighborhood, and soon after George Crabaugh (Isaac Standlee, son of my John, marries Louisa Standlee, daughter of George) and his son-in-law, Oliver Miller. About the same time two famous hunters, Stephen Coose and John Scennett, settled on White River. The former, in order to illustrate the crookedness of this river, once related that he traveled one entire night on the river in his canoe from a point near his residence, and on landing in the morning found that he had gained so little distance that he walked home to get breakfast. The first death that occurred in the War Eagle settlement was that of a little daughter of David Stanley (brother to my John) , and hers was the first grave in the Austin graveyard, about four miles above War Eagle Mills. The second death was that of John B. Kirk, son of Julius Kirk, and he was buried in the first grave in the Blackburn graveyard, near War Eagle Mills. Among the first marriages that took place in that neighborhood were those of John Highland and Rachael Borne (of my Boren family), James Blackburn and Sarah Crabaugh,Joseph Stanley and Millie Blalock (Joseph is son of Oney), Oliver Miller and Miss Blalock, the latter being a sister to Millie.

Onicypherous Standlee and descendants in the 1850 census

Originally drafted in November 2010, by Karen Allman

The following started as correspondence with a descendant of Hannah (Standlee Pyle). This is being saved (in a slightly modified form) as it explains where to find Onicypherous and his offspring in relation to one another on the 1850 Census:

My GGG Grandmother was Catherine (Standlee) Davis.

I believe I have information that may be of interest to you...

Have you seen the 1850 Census for Carroll County, AR? (William and Hannah (Standlee) Pyle are there with their children.) October 3rd 1850, is the date of the census.

What makes this census so interesting to me, is the cluster of families all living next door to each other. Next to William and Hannah is Ura Campbell and her children. (Ura is their daughter.)

The next family is lead by Joseph Standlee - apparently Hannah's nephew. Based on the date of birth, I believe he is her brother Abraham's son .

Next door are my GGG Grandparent's, Jefferson Davis and Catherine (Standlee) Davis. The wife Catherine, being the daughter of John Standlee and Susan Sooky Boren. John is a sibling to Hannah.

Nextdoor is Aaron Davis, Jefferson's younger brother.

On the other side of Aaron is Joseph Standlee (Brother of Hannah, John , and Abraham, the Standlee's previously mentioned), and his wife Millie.

I'll mention one other piece of family trivia that you may have already discovered. Of Hannah's siblings, the children of Onicypherous Standlee, 3 of the Standlees married 3 siblings in the Boren Family.

As I mentioned my GGG Grandmother Catherine Standlee was the child of John Standlee and Susan Sooky Boren. David Standlee married Catherine Boren, and Elizabeth Standlee married Isaac Boren.

Because their lives were so interwoven, I'd hate for you to miss that so many were congregated there in Carroll County at the time of the 1850 Census.

Update, May 2011 - I came across this analysis by Peggy Seidler from 1999. She found even more connections than the ones noted above:

I believe that Hannah is the daughter of Onicypherous because: 1. Her birthdate and place fit between John b. 1800 in KY and Sarah born 1803 in KY. 2. On the 1850 Carroll Co. AR census, The Standlees all live next to each other:
