Charles D. Marx received his early education in the schools Toledo and Amsterdam. He was a student at the Karlsruhe realgymnasium during 1871-1876 and was graduated C.E., at Cornell university in 1878. He then returned to Germany and in 1881 graduated at the Karlsruhe polytechnieum, receiving a diploma as an engineer, having in the meantime served as instructor in civil engineering at that institution. During 1881-82 he was employed as a leveler, transitman and draftsman on the proposed extension of the Genesee River Niagra Falls division of the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel & Western Railroad, and then served for two years as the U.S. assistant engineer on the Missouri and Mississipi river improvement projects. He was assistant professor of civil engineering at Cornell University during 1884-90, acting also as chief inspector of public improvements in Rochester, N.Y., and during vacations as principal assistant engineer to Emil Kuichling (q.v.) on the design of additions to the sewer system of that city (pdf). In 1890 he went to University of Wisconsin as professor of civil engineering and in the fall of the following year became head of the department of civil engineering at Stanford university, continuing at that position until 1923 when he retired with the position professor emeritus. One of the first ten appointe d to the original Stanford faculty, he was vice president of the university from 1917. During 1925-26 he supervised for the Engineering Foundation the building of the Stevenson creek arch dam near Fresno, California. This dam, located in a deep canyon of the Sierras, was a purely experimental structure, erected to determine the strength and weakness of arch construction, a problem which has puzzled engineers for centuries. He was a member of the board of consulting engineers of the San Gabriel flood control board (Los Angeles county)., 1927, of the consulting board to the East Bay municipal district to investigate the causes of the partial failure of the Lafayette dam, 1928-29, and a member of the Hoover-Young commission which finally determined the location of the Golden Gate bridge.

Dear Brother,
I have now a private opportunity of sending you a few lines by Mr. Standart to inform you that I am well and hope this letter will find you in the same State of health. Henry & his wife are well. Business has been rather dull of late but it is now improving and will probably be pretty brisk in a few weeks. There is now three Steam Boats running on the Lake two of which stop at this place and one at Blk Rock. So there is Steam Boats […] and Canal boats coming in and going out almost every day. Mr. Ruston has now gone to N.Y. to buy goods and they will probably be here in about three weeks. We have not a great many goods on hand at present and cannot expect business to be so good as it would be if we had a new appointment of goods. I hope father's family are doing well on the farm. Give my respects to all enquiring friends and oblige you most affectionate brother.

ix. Harvey Hardison
19 x. Ida M. Hardison
xi. Wallace Libby Hardison was born in 1850 in Caribout, ME, died on 10 Apr 1909 in Roscoe, Ca after being hit by a train..
Two of Hardison's older brothers had migrated to Pennsylvania and had learned the driller's trade and learned it well. They became contract drillers for the Stewarts, as well as wildcatters in their own right, and Harvey Hardison held Lyman Stewart's highest accolade, "he always left a clean hole."
=========================
Wallace Hardison was a massive man with bristling, black mustaches, an elastic, impatient stride, and a restlessly brilliant mind. Desk work and details were not for him, and he loved the hurly-burly of the oil fields almost as much as he loved good horseflesh. Quick to act, and quicker still to make decisions requiring action, he was genial, friendly, outgoing, impulsive, and generous to a fault. Espousing the Universalist faith, he lacked Stewart's compulsive piety, and he was a Republican activist, while Stewart by comparison was apolitical. Both men were most competent in the fields they knew, crude production and speculation, and both knew the parlous position of a producer at the mercy of the Rockefeller Trust's price-setting powers over crude. Neither seems to have been as vitriolic as Milton Stewart, who linked the words "Standard" and "rascal" almost automatically.
Stewart was deeply impressed by the Ex-Mission, the Sespe District, and Pico Canyon when Blake showed them to him in mid-April, 1883. He was heartened, too, by Blake's unwarranted assurance that Blake alone controlled the Ex-Mission. His telegraphed enthusiasm brought Hardison and John Irwin, a Stewart cousin and a competent driller with a nose for oil, to Santa Paula in mid-May. They were similarly impressed, and the result was the formation of Hardison, Stewart and Company (H. S. & C.) which was unincorporated but capitalized at $25,000. The Stewart family took 51 percent of its stock, Hardison and Collins, 49 percent, and Hardison became its president and general manager with Stewart serving as treasurer.
Wallace Hardison's financial straits were even more onerous than his partner's for several reasons, among them the fact that C. P. Collins was never as dependable a source of needed capital as was Milton Stewart. The main reason lay in his purchase of the surface rights to 6,300 acres of the Ex-Mission for $16,500 on November 10, 1883. This identified the Hardison family with Ventura County in a way never done by Lyman Stewart, and made the nucleus of the locally famed Santa Paula Horse and Cattle Company.
39. Dorcas Abbott, daughter of Jacob Abbott and Dorcas Libbey , was born on 4 May 1804 in Lebanon, York, ME, died on 4 Mar 1887 in Caribou, Aroostook, ME, at age 82, and was buried in Caribou, Aroostook, ME.

64. Patrick Graham was born in 1747 in County Tyrone, Ulster and died in 1844 in Butler Co., PA, at age 97.
In 1763 a Scots-Irish travelled from Dublin, Ireland to Philadelphia to begin a new life in a new world. Patrick Graham created a legacy in America that continued the traditions of his ancestral lands and combined them with others in an experimental nation. As part of the experiment, he fought in the war that liberated the new nation from its tyrannical English overlords. It is believed that Patrick saved General Lafayette from capture at the battle of Brandywine near Philadelphia. After the war Patrick settled in Butler County and began farming.
In 1796 Patrick came to Jefferson Township, Butler County, Pa., and erected a cabin on a tract of three hundred acres and returned for his family and household goods and moved by the methods of those days, horses and pack saddles, to his new home in the wilderness.
His two children, Rosanna and Joseph, were tied in the bundles and placed on the pack saddles with their little heads popping out to view the scenery as they passed by.
His wife, with the baby Daniel in her arms were on the saddle. They had no friends or neighbors to greet them at their new home as Patrick, his wife, and children were the first settlers in Jefferson Township.
Patrick lived in Philadelphia County during the American Revolution. He later moved to Westmoreland County PA.
Patrick married ²Elizabeth McKee³ in 1792 in Westmoreland County.

i. Rosanna Graham
ii. Joseph Graham
32 iii. Daniel Graham

66. William L. Iddings, son of Henry Iddings and Mary Wynne , was born in 1756 in West Nantmeal Twp., Chester Co., PA and died in 1835 in Floyd Co., VA, at age 79.
William was at the Battle of Fort Washington in New York City and was captured, survived on a prison ship until January when released, nearly starved and naked to make his way home.
He later served on the frontier as a scout ranger sgt. in the Union County militia against the Indians. It is believed he went to Butler by 1809 as a Mr. Iddings built a mill there in that year.
General "Mad" Anthony Wayne was his second cousin.

Peter [Pierre] Le Breton was a native of the city of Nantes, France. As a young man he visited Newburyport on the business of an uncle who was a sugar-planter of the West Indies*. He became interested in Elizabeth Pearson and returned the following year, 1776, to marry her and make his home in Newburyport. He was called Captain, and owned some vessels in trade with the West Indies and France. A Frenchman and a Roman Catholic, he seems to have conformed to the customs and religious life of his neighbors, and to have been a respected citizen, noted for his liberality to the poor. An altar, found after his death in a small room to which he kept the key, showed that he had not forsaken the church of his childhood.
*The most important French New World colony at the time was Saint Domingue (modern day Haiti). The English were at war with the French and sought to block trade between the American colonials and the French sugar planters. The main trade was in molasses used to make rum.
