As always, I would very much appreciate any additions or corrections to the information below. It is my plan to submit the final Pioneer compilation, with all contributors credited, to the appropriate historical and genealogical libraries.

(1) William Corlett was born about 1810, and died December 6, 1881, age 71. He married Catharine Gill, daughter of John and Isabella (Corlett) Gill. (See previous posting for John Gill.) Catherine was born about 1812, and died December 31, 1891 in her 79th year.

William and Catharine Corlett lived in Warrensville. (From History of Cleveland, pub 1910) "(He) was a sailor and became a captain on the lakes. He sailed a vessel to Chicago in 1829, when there was a fort and a few log cabins on the site of the present populous city. He remained upon the lakes until 1851, when he purchased a farm in Warrensville and thereon spent his remaining days, his attention being given to agricultural pursuits."

(2) William Waterson was born about 1810. He married, at KK Patrick, May 8, 1827, Ann Sayle, daughter of John and Catherine (Kinley) Sayle. She was baptized at KK Patrick, June 7, 1801, and died "Ann Sayle Waterson", June 16, 1882, in the 82nd year of her age.

"William Watterson and Ann Sayle were married in Douglas (sic), Isle of Man, and immediaely after the ceremony accompanied a party of Manx men who, in 1826 (sic) emigrated to Newburgh and Warrensville. With them came Mrs. Watterson's aged parents. The journey was often delayed and very tedious, taking nearly three months to accomplish.(William Waterson emigrated with Ann's parents on the barque Ocean, which left Liverpool May 20, and arrived in New York July 13, 1827. William Waterson laborer 24; Ann 23.)

...Mr. Watterson settled on a farm of 80 acres. His first son was the second child born in the Manx settlement. The Watterson family numbered ten sons and a daughter. Three of the former served throughout the Civil War, one losing his live in action, the other two badly wounded." ("The Pioneer Families of Cleveland 1796-1840", Vol. 1, Gertrude van Rensselar Wickham, 1914, p 311-4.)

"It was the custom in the early times to hold religious services in the schoolhouse, as the people had not then built a regular place of worship. One evening services were being held in what is now know as the beehive. Mrs. Ann Waterson happened to sit facing her own house in which three of her children were sleeping. Suddenly she saw flames bursting through the roof. She was so terrified that she could not speak, but springing to her feet and pointing toward the house, she gasped, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" and then sank down again. The minister was surprised but a moment later he was dumbfounded to see the whole congregation rush pellmell out of the house without waiting for the doxology or the benediction. The children were saved but the house was consumed. Again the men turned out as they did when the Hubbell house was burned and in two or three days they had a new and better house than the one that was destroyed." ("Memorial to the Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve".)
