49	Title:	Joseph Buell Family Papers
	Creator:	Buell, Joseph Family
	Dates:	1785-1956
	Abstract:	The Buell family was a pioneer family from Connecticut who helped settle Marietta, Ohio. Joseph Buell was a sergeant at Fort Harmar, across the Muskingum River from Marietta, when the first settling party from the Ohio Company arrived in April 1788. He later settled in Marietta with his family. Joseph Buell ran a successful tavern. In addition, he was appointed an associate justice of the Washington County Court of Common Pleas and a major general in the Ohio Militia in 1803, and served an elected state senator from 1803-1805. Joseph's brother Timothy Buell was a captain in the militia and also served as a county magistrate, a state representative from 1820-1822, and sheriff of Washington County. Many of their descendants were also prominent in the affairs of Marietta and Washington County. The collection consists of correspondence, genealogical material, transcripts of journals, and family recollections of the settlement of the Ohio frontier. The major part of the collection consists of correspondence between members of the Buell family (1810-1890). Genealogical material is composed of charts, histories, sketches, notes, and a memorial and refers to the Buell family and related Curtis, Tupper, Lewis, Nye, and Gray families. Included is a history of the Lewis family which claims lineage from George Washington and a pedigree evidencing the Washington-Lewis line. The collection is of value for those interested in the settlement and development of the Ohio frontier and the Northwest Territory, and the establishment of Marietta, Ohio. It includes a transcript of a journal of Sergeant Joseph Buell, kept from 1785-1789 and detailing the establishment and maintenance of a frontier military outpost. Extensive materials on the process of recruiting soldiers for service in the 63rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry regiment during the Civil War are included in William H. Buell's papers. Also of interest are the recollections of Pheobe Wood Putnam concerning her journey from Connecticut to settle in Marietta, and Anselm Tupper Nye and unidentified members of the Buell family concerning the settlement of Miami County.
