    Notes 
    • Great Aunt Anna Halladay Anderson wrote two pages of HALLADAY history for me and I'll quote it for you.  This was written in the 1950's.

      RECORD OF ELI HALLADAY REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER
      His father, Daniel Halladay was the first Halladay in America.  He was a Scotch soldier in the English army in the French & Indian war, a struggle between the French and English for the possession of America began in 1754.  When his term of enlistment was over he was returned to the Highlands of Scotland & honorably discharged.  He married Ann _____ and returned to America about 1760.  They
      had 3 sons Eli, Able & Daniel.  Eli was born May 25, 1763 at Simsbury Connecticut.
      He was a Minute Man 16 or 17 yrs old when he enlisted.

                                   This is his Military service in the Revolutionary Way.

      Eli married Catherine Stevens in 1785.  He was a member of Vermont Legislature for 9 years & helped form the government of Vermont.  He was a Justice of the Peace for many years & perform- the marriage ceremony for some of his children.
      In 1803 Ohio became a State.  In 1816 Eli & Cathrine Halladay brought their family to Ohio, following a "blazed trail", & settled in Greenfield Township Huron County Ohio.  He helped form the government of the County.  My grandfather Horace Kent was 19 when he came to Ohio with his parents.  Their 2 other children George & Cathrine died and are buried in Greenfield Township.
      In 1835 Eli, 71 & his wife & son Horace and wife Pheobe Carpenter with Horace's 3 children George, Henry & Elizabeth moved to Erie Co. and settled on a farm 2 1/2 miles south of Huron Ohio.  Here 3 more children were born to them Mary, Clark & Martha.
      In 1837 Eli & Cathrine, Horace & Pheobe and others helped to found the Presbyterian Church at Huron.  Eli was presiding Elder of the organization and one of its first Deacons.  4 generations of Halladays worshiped & gave service here, & 3 of the 5th generation were baptized by its minister.

          ======================================================================
      Note:  I typed this as written, spelling and all.  Horace's 3rd son, Clark and Susan (Tyler) Halladay is my line.  My father was Russell Halladay Washburn and his mother Charlotte (Halladay) Washburn died in childbirth when he was 3 yrs. old.  He was taken to KS and raised by Charlotte and Anna's sister, Edith
      Halladay Smith & husband. Aunt Anna was wonderful to keep in touch with, besides we shared birthdays (and also with Daniel-Feb. 26, 1736). She was a DAR member using all the above information.
