BIOGRAPHY
The following was written by Elizabeth Emeline Sales, daughter of Mary (Adams) and James M. Sales:
“ James Martin Sales was born in Indiana on March 20, 1847 of English and Welsh parentage having come from a line of pioneers for several generations. They moved to Iowa when he was a small child and the influences which chiefly shaped his childhood were country life, narrow means, and loss of his mother. His father having remarried when he was ten (10) years of age and being of an adventurous disposition, he worked his way to Ozawkie, Kansas where he made his home with an older sister, Lucinda Hatcher (Aunt Lou), and grew to young manhood.
Here he met and married Mary Adams, who was born in Missouri in 1850. She also was of pioneer stock and her ancestors traced back to John Quincey Adams. Unlike her husband, she was no of an adventurous disposition, but was a homemaker of rare ability, being contented amidst very trying circumstances and severe hardship of pineer life. She had unusual executive ability and a strong disposition to improve social conditions around her. She, also being an orphan, her education was neglected , and the two went to night school after they were married.
James M. and Mary Sales were married in Medina, Kansas in 1868, and had accumulated stock and owned 160 acres of good land when all at once it became so dark for two (2) days. They could hardly see the sun. This was caused by a terrible dirge of grass-hoppers. Everything in line of vegetation was destroyed and they sold their farm for $100.00 and moved with their three (3) children to Iowa in 1875. Farmed around Missouri Valley, Iowa until 1886 when they moved to Florence, Nebraska, a suburb of Omaha, where I, Elizabeth Sales, was born. In 1887 moved to Blair County, Nebraska, where father, James M. Sales, was lost in one of the worst blizzards recorded in history. He found his way home the next day. All social affairs, debates, literary societies were held in school houses. In 1888 they moved to Cherry County, Nebraska and filed and proved a pre-emption claim. Father farmed and with a horse-powered feed grinder, ground meal and buckwheat for people of that community.
We moved to Rock County in 1890 and raised onion sets and watermelon seed for Ferry Seed Company. We started for Idaho in May 1891, stopped at old home in Cherry County, Nebraska. Their neighbors had just gotten home from hunting two (2) little girls who were lost on the prairies. Found one in 5 days alive, the other in 8 days dead. The country was so sparsely settled they had wandered for miles. They had eventually separated the first day as were miles apart when found. Prairie fires were also to be feared and everyone would go for miles and fight them. Fire guards were always plowed around buildings to protest them.
The emigrant train was composed of five (5) families with nine (9) covered wagons, about 100 head of cattle and about 30 head of horses. They went up the Platte River and endured a terrible hail storm near Scottsbluff which destroyed some of the wagon tops. At Independence Rock, Wyoming, camped and had great sport trying to climb rock. Only the men were able to get on top. It was 312 rods around, nearly one mile.
One night the horses were driven off and it was a half day before they found them. Old Setting Bull was on the war-path and the settlers were uneasy and the men would take turns watching each night. They always placed the wagons in a circle to form a camp. Often at night antelope would come and mix with cows and sometimes they would kill one to eat.
They crossed a desert from Eagle Rock, now Idaho Falls, to Lost River a distance of 50 miles without water for the stock. Started at 11 o’clock at night and took until after dark the next night as some of the wagons were drawn by cattle. They camped in Boise Valley and a son, James Thomas, was born at Silver Creek, in the covered wagon. They camped one week and some of the crowd picked fruit. We traveled on over mountains and arrived at Genessee, Idaho, the middle of October. In about six months after landing all the horses and cattle died except one mare, from mountain fever.
It was a wonderful valley for vegetation and quite a lot of fruit. While the trip had taken nearly six months of constant traveling, it was not all hardships. Evenings were spent in singing and dancing as there were four or five violinists in the group. They were Aunt Bettie Pike’s [Elizabeth (Adams) Pike, sister of Mary Adams], family and Uncle Frank [Francis Marion Pike]. We lived two years in Idaho and moved to Wallowa Oregon, a mountainous country in the Northeastern part of Oregon. It took six months to make the trip and three months coming from Nebraska to Oregon. Here all the houses and outbuildings were made of logs. Father home-steaded and built a log house. When he worked out, he had to take wheat or sheep for pay. They would shear the sheep and my mother and two aunts would wash, pick, and card yarn and knit stockings and mittens. Some was used in wool bats for comforts.
Another son, Clarence was born in Idaho, so were eight children at home. They found it much harder to gain a living from the soil here than in Idaho. The oldest son, [Joseph] 23 years of age, became discouraged and returned to Iowa next spring [1894], making the trip all alone riding one horse and leading a pack horse. Girls received $1.50 per week for house work, men earned 50 cents per day but had to take pay in wheat. Mother kept the home for ten and sewed for neighbors and would go miles by horse back or cart to help care for a sick neighbor.
Amusements were sleigh riding, show shoeing and dancing. Sunday school and church was held in the school house. Mother cut and made shoes for the younger children from tops of shoes of adults and father would put soles on with awl and wooden pegs. Mother would buy heavy unbleached muslin and made the girls dresses so it would wear longer.
There was a sawmill near their home in Oregon and the youngsters had great fun, playing in huge mounds of saw dust, picking wild berries and grapes. Times were so hard during President Cleveland time in office they decided to return to Nebraska in order to educate the children. They started June 1st, 1895. The trip back was much easier as they didn’t try to bring any cattle and were only five wagons. While crossing the Blue Mountains they met some unfriendly Indians who had killed some settlers in the mountains. The settlers had reported them to the government for killing deer for the skins and leaving the meat and they had taken thei revenge. They did not molest them but rode for miles as far away as timber would let them nd were very surly. Many places through the mountains the roads were so narrow and steep the men would tie ropes to upper sides of the wagons and climb along the bluffs to keep wagons from upsetting in the river below. When they forded the Green River there was a Mr. Parker who let his team drift too far down stream into very deep water and his horses got down and the other men had to ride out on the horses and cut the horses loose. They had to carry out of the wagon what they could on horses and then tied a rope to the end of the tongue of the wagon and pulled it out. They had to unlead and dry every thing out before going on.
After four years of roaming, again we landed in western Nebraska at Long Pine, August 28, 1895. There they lived on a farm about 30 miles from Long Pine. They lived in a two room sod house papered with newspaper. Here father worked for a rancher for $15 a month and paid for a farm of 80 acres. One daughter, Hattie, 16 years of age, carried mail with a horse and cart from Bassett, Nebraska to Hammonds, an inland town, a distance of 35 miles round trip, stopping at other post offices on the way. She made three trips a week and was paid $1.50 a week.
By now there were ten living children, one having died in infancy. Four older ones were living in Iowa. In Nebraska in this prairie country they had only 3 months of school a year. As Mother was determined the youngsters should be educated, they again started for Kansas arriving in March, 1897 and buying a farm within 8 miles of where they sold out, when forced to go from the grasshopper dirge. Later bought a truck farm near town where they celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary August 15, 1929. Mother passed away December 7, 1929, being survived by Father (who resided with youngest daughter [Margaret Matilda Sales] in Topeka Kansas), 9 children, 27 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few tidbits I am able to add to her story. When Mary and James Sales and their family set out across the Oregon Trail in 1891, they met up with a larger wagon train in the mountains of Wyoming, and traveled with that group over the Rocky Mountains and into eastern Oregon, where they parted ways. One of the men in the party was named Henry C. Brown. What a thrill to find out this year, from distant cousin, Mary Ann (McCrae) Burrows (great- granddaughter of Francis .M. Pike and Elizabeth Adams), that Henry C. Brown kept a diary of this trip, and that the diary has been published under the title My Life on Either Side of the Rockies (1999 by Earthen Vessel Productions). A good portion of the diary refers to the experiences and time spent with the Sales family, and paints a colorful picture of their experience and the era in which they lived.
I am just beginning to research James Sales’ father, Luke Sales’ line. It is well-documented that Luke was a son of William Sales and Sarah (Unknown) of North Carolina and Tennessee, but I haven’t been able to find much more on them so far. I have had an easier time finding a wealth of information on Luke’s mother, Sarah Elizabeth Jones’s line. Through her, not only was our James Martin Sales of Welsh and English lineage, but also he was of Dutch and French ancestry. Elizabeth’s father, Allen B. Jones’s line has been traced back to one of the very first settlements in what is now the United States. Her 4th great grandparents were born in France and Belgium/Netherlands, and were among the first settlers of Fort Orange in Albany , then in New Amsterdam, which is now Manhattan, in New York City. And on her paternal grandfather’s side, according to other researchers, sometime prior to the Continental Congress formed in 1774, five Jones brothers emigrated from Northern Wales to the American Colonies. They settled in North Carolina. These brothers were the blond-type, known as 'Red Welsh". It would be amazing if these Joneses on Mom’s side connected with the North Wales Jones family on Dad’s!

HISTORICAL
MEDINA KANSAS.
The little village is situated two miles west of Perry on the line of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The location is a very pleasant one on the level valley lands of the Kansas River. It has a population of about sixty. There is a railroad depot, one general store, one grain elevator, a two story schoolhouse, and a few dwelling houses.
The history of the town begins with the year 1865, when, as the railroad was building, Lutt, Kunkle & Menzer bought land and laid out the town. They were the leading owners of the Rising Sun town site, and conceived the idea of founding a new town on the line of the new railroad. This they did, and soon the greater portion of the old town was moved to Medina. The first store was established in 1865, by Lutt & Munn.
Early in 1866, the postoffice was established and William King appointed Postmaster. He opened the second store in the town. The town was so named at the suggestion of John Speer, of Lawrence, who had formerly lived at Medina, Ohio, and he promised to give the first child born in the new town a valuable present. The first birth was a son to Mr. and Mrs. William King, born in May, 1869, and was named John, in honor of Mr. Speer. The child died when very young. A schoolhouse was built in 1865, and a school taught the following year by Mr. Gettis. During the first two year of its history the village grew quite rapidly. At one time it had several business houses and was at least three times its present size. Many buildings have since been moved away. In March, 1867, Rev. S. Weaver started a newspaper here called New Era, which he afterward, in September, 1871, moved to Valley Falls. There is in the village a large two story schoolhouse, built of stone. One story is used for the school, while the other is rented for a term of fifty years to the Baptist Church, which has a prosperous organization and holds religious services regularly.

In Reply to: Sales family Putham, Indiana by Violet Shindelar
Regarding Luke Sales:From family records, my informations shows that Luke Sales married Elizabeth Jones (I have no dates). They had 2 children: Lucinda: m. Hatcher James Martin: b. Mar 20, 1848 or 1847, in Putman/Putham, IN., d. Feb. 5, 1934 in Kansas and is buried at the Ozawkie Cemetary. James married Mary Adams on Aug 21, 1868 in Medina, KS.
**
Looking for information on James Martin Sales (b. Mar 20, 1847 or 1848 in Putman Indiana, d. Feb 5, 1934 in Kansas, m. Mary Adams Aug 21, 1868 in Medina KS. His parents are Luke Sales and Elizabeth Jones but have yet to find any other information on them. My gg-grandfather was Luke Sales, b. 1847 in Putman, Indiana, who married Mary Adams in Madina KS in 1868. Could your William and Rachel Sales be his parents?
****
The 1850 census shows male named ELVIS, age 15 (b. 1835). He is shown also in the 1880 census with the last name JONES. Not sure who he belongs to but David Martens said he was a son of Leanna Jones before her marriage to Luke Sales after Sarah’s death.
...[?] married Frankie; children: Harden b abt 1872, Sarah b abt 1874, William A. Born abt 1876, and Luke b abt 1878. Living in Harrison, St. John County Iowa,
******
James M. Sales-b: 1847/48, Putnam, Ind. is the son of Luke Sales b: c1818, Tn and Sarah Jones. James M. also had a bro. Luke Sales b: 1851, Ill. Sarah Jones died shortly after that [birth of Luke Junior] and Luke Sr. married her younger sister, Leanna in 1853 back in Putnam Co., Ind. In 1860, Luke Sales Sr. and wife #2 Leanna Jones are living in Pottawattamie Co. Iowa Rockford Twp. with 8 children including James M. who was 12 and luke Jr. who was 9. By 1880, James M. Sales 32 and his wife Mary 29 are living in Shelby Co, Grove Twp, Iowa along with 4 children. Next door was his bro. Luke Sales Jr. 29, his wife Emma 25 amd 2 kids. James 's first 2 kids were born in Kan. and the next 2 in Iowa.. Emma may have been Laura E. Adams (Both girls are listed as being born in Mo.) Another bro. to James M. and Luke Jr-Thomas J. Sales may have married Ann Adams. I'm not real sure on that yet. It gets more confusing as Luke Jr. had a son James and James M. had a son Luke. Alot of yrs. difference in their births tho. Also Luke Sr.'s Father was William Sales and he married Rachel Adams in Putnam Co., Ind. 1840 as his 2nd wife-He then moved to Appanoose Co., Iowa. Just email me if you need more.
James Sales married Hannah Pike in Putnam Co. Ind. 6 Sep. 1843. Malinda Sales married George Pike in Putnam Co. Ind. 30 July 1840. James and Hannah are also in the 1850 Clinton Co. Mo. Census. I do not have any other info on the Pike's but would appreciate any on the Sales.
*************
ABOUT WILLIAM SALES AND ANCESTORS
I am looking for the parents of William Sales who was born in North Carolina in 1793. He married Rachel Adams on 15 Apr 1840. Their children were Andrew Jackson, Rebecca E., Francis Marion, Hugh, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Charles Marshall. William was previously married to a woman named Sarah. Their children are Malinda, James, William, John W., George W., Thomas, Lucas**, Lucinda, and Sarah. I am a descendent of Thomas Sales and have additional information on his descendents.

Do you have the names of the other SAYLES you found buried in the Hardin Cemetery? I have SAYLE/SAYLES ties to TN and am having a hard time finding clues farther back. My particular SAYLE (no ending "s") family was definitely in Obion Co, TN and some SAYLEs that I think were related were in Carroll and Henderson Counties.in TN. My ggg grandfather was Thomas S. SAYLE but his name has been shown SAYLES in some records. His father was William Erven SAYLE and supposedly, there was a long line of William Erven SAYLE/S men. Thomas was born June 5, 1808, supposedly in Obion Co, TN. He married Elizabeth HAYNES, dau. of Henry HAYNES & Frances LAURENCE. Thomas & Elizabeth had 9 children, only two boys who were named William Erven and Robert L. (prob. for LAURENCE). Thomas & Elizabeth moved with their children from Union City, Obion Co, TN to northeast Texas (Hunt County -- Cow Hill, which became Commerce) in 1857. All the children who married, married in Texas. The last two children were female twins, of whom I've found no further information so I think they may have died young. When their first child, (Dr.) Robert L. SAYLE was born, they were living in Stoddard Co, MO. Ch: Robert L.; Frances Ann "Fannie;" Susan Elizabeth "Susie;" William Erven;" Mary "Mollie" (my gg grandmother); Belle, Fennetta "Nettie;" and the twins, Delina and Delana, b. 1848. In my particular family there are close ties to LAURENCE, HAYNES, and AMIS families. They were in TN, KY, MO, TX, and earlier in NC.

Based on the names of the children of Elias, it seems likely that his parents were Cornelius Sales, b. abt. 1792, and Hannah Sluder Sales, b. abt. 1796, Rowan Co, NC. One son of Cornelius and Hannah, Theophilus, b. 1807, was married 30 Jan 1831 in Rutherford Co to Sophania G. Freeman, b. 24 Dec 1810, Cathey's Creek, Rutherford Co, NC. A daughter of Cornelius and Hannah, Juletta Lucinda Sales, was born 22 May 1818 in Buncombe Co, NC, and married in 1839 to Alexander Harper, b. 11 Nov 1814, Fairview, Buncombe Co, NC. I understand that the parents of Cornelius Sales were William and Ann Sales, but I don't have any other Sales ancestors yet. Hope this helps.

Posted Aug, 2000 Looking for information on William Sales and his wife Rachael. I know William was born around 1790-1793. William was from North Carolina and his wife’s maiden name was Rachael Adams. Their children were Thomas,** Luke, Malinda, Lucinda, Sarah, John, James. They eventually moved to Indiana and on to Iowa. Any information would be appreciated. – Violet Shindelar Violet55@one-eleven.net <mailto:violet55@one-eleven.net>

Hi Violet, I just received your message. The father of Thomas Sales was William. I have that he was born in North Carolina in 1793. His spouse was Sarah, I have not found her last name yet. William had 9 children by his first wife Sarah. Most if not all of their children were born in Tenn. I don't know what happened to the first wife but William married Rachel Adams in Putnam Co. Indiana April 15,1840. William and Rachel had seven more children. He died in Appanoose Co. Iowa May 18,1871. I am going to give you my e-mail address so you can contact me directly. My address is: slf@webtv.net Maybe we can swape information. Stella
Since there is so much info on this family you may want to check the following names: Cornelius Sale, Sr. b. ca 1666 Essex Co.,VA d. 17 Apr 1746 m. Mary Samuel Their grandson Leonard had a son William b. ca 1783 NC d. Jul 1850 Gibson Co.,TN m. Elizabeth Johnson. But the interesting thing is that his sister Lucinda who married John Olvey, died in Wayne Co.,IN. This may be your answer, the Sale family was closely associated with the Olvey family, there were several Olvey/Sale marriage unions. ( a note* Olvey is sometimes found as "Alvey" or a smiliar spelling) The Olvey family moved from Wilkes Co.,NC to Indiana around 1820 or so, near the Indianpolis area. They were a founding family of the area. Other names associated with the Sale family of late 1700's and early 1800's are: Henry Martin, Susanna Maberry,William Allen, Roden Thompson, John Grant, and Jenkins Reynolds. There is a wonderful Sale Family lineage online at uftree.com, submitted by a Jeffrey L. Williams. I'm not sure it is still available online, but it is worth the effort to locate it. Hope this helps.
