The First Baby: The first birth in this city was on the 25th of
de to bar last. The Lawrence As sociation donated the boy a first
cllsss city lot, and na:mad him Lawrence Carpenter, atter the city
a'nd his parents. We learn that the little tellow i8 quite health1'
ahd is growing finely. May he live to see our beautitul city ranking
w;tth the first in the Union in all that perta:ills to wealth, education,
morality, and refinement.
:
We mq be allowed to say, in this connection, that the first
wJ:;rl.te child born in Chicago is now but twenty-two years old, while
~e city boasts of a population of near 80,000. May- not a destil\Y'
equally prosperous await our own Lawrence?

The' following are examples of the many interesting testimonies to be found in
the two :volumes of "Kansas Claims". These cla1ms were made by Kansas citizens in ' "
the 1850's and often contain information concerning place of origin~ names of fam117
members, political views, etc. Volumes mq be consulted in the Documents Section of
Spencer Research L1brar;y on the University of Kansas Campus, L85l1'eDCe, Kansas.

In the lI1fltter of the petition of Benjamin S. Hancock.

,Margaretta Hancock, sworn, sqs: That she is thevife of petitioner~ and
that in the years 185S aDd 1856 we were living on our claim two and • half miles
from Lecompton. He was from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and a free~tate man~ and not
in good odor with the people of Lecompton on account of his political opinions. In
the year 18SS~ during the Wakarusa war, Mr. Hancock came to'Lawrence to save his
11fe~ and help~ while protecting himself, to protect others. While he was gone~
some men'from Lecompton came and threw do~ our fences, arid the cattle got in and
destroyed our corn. There were nine or ten &amp;cresin corn; it was sod corn. Mr.
Hanrock had gathered a little of the corn to teed with before he came down to Lawrence; the rest destroyed. It was pretty good sod corn. This was all we lost of
much value during that year.
In the month of August or September, 1856, while lI\V' husband was absent-,
having ned to save his 11£e-a company ot men, calling thanselves Kickapoo Rangers,
about fUty in number, came to our house. It was Sundq morning. They were commanded bY one John Randolph. He paraded his men before the house, ordered ~e men
to go in :and search the house, and take what they could t1nd tor the use of the southern &amp;rnG"~ The men entered the bouse from both sides, began swearing, saying we had
a store for the abolitionists at Lawrence,but they would not get it. Then they commenced plundering; some in one room; some in the other; some up stairs, turning over
the beds"taldng the blankets, swearing they were too good tor abolitionists; inquired
for Mr. Hancock; swore if they had him they would kill him. They took coffee, sugar~
crackers" meat, harness--several sets, &amp;:0.
They took all rrI3' provisions. I expostulated with them; told them they were
gentlemen' to take all I had to eat, my husband being gone, and I having tll&gt; little
ones to attend to. MJ'. Lamb then took a piece of meat, some dried fruit, and a washpan full of coffee, and gave them to me. Captain Randolph got mad, ordered Hr. Lamb
to leave ~s COlUp8l\Y, as his conduct was a disgrace to it; that he was a coward and
a traitor: to his compq-. Lamb said he would not see a woman hungry. Pistols were
drawn by' ~lph, who said the next thing taken out of the wagon he would shoot
the man who did it.Lamb wanted to leave a sack of flower, but was compelled to give
it up. Randolph made a speech, s~, among other things, he would go over with his
things to I Lecompton, and come back again. They broke and destroyed evvr,ything they
could lq their hands on that tbq did not carry 81tltq. That afternoon about 300 men
came on h~rseback, accompanied by some wagonsJ picked up what they wanted, throwed
down the fence; drove and rode through the cornfield, aet fire to the house three
times, but it was put out. The barn and its contents they burnt down. There were in
it ploughs, and chests of tools and ever;ytb.ing necessar:v to carry on a farm.
B,etween the two visits on that dq I had obtained a guard from Colonel Cooke,
and had ~ a few light things into the wagon. The last ~ who came even tried
to rob the. wagon of the few th1ngs it contained, but were auccesstulq resisted by the
I

guard.

.

Myself and mother came back to the house atter the barn was burned, and~
waiting till dark, hid some things by oovering them up in the garden, wt they were
all stolen, and broken up.
The items in the house and barn, as .at down in the petition, were Q'llafried
destroyed, or burned up at that time, except the items tor .poons. There

-sq,:

�33
were t_lve large spoons" silv8l'"worth 136" and 12 small ODeS, worth $lOJ these
vere carried 11/I6tq. The pre.ems were lIOrth $1 per gallon. .Ten acres of corn and
over were destroyed at the same time" the fence being thrown down. What they did
DOt pack off, the c sttl. and hoga destroyed. An acre of potatoe a was also dug up
and destroyed. Three horses were taken off.
When Mr. Hancock Ca11l8 into the Territo1'1' he brought twenty-tive vagon loads
of goods, such as 18 set out in hill petition" and two loads afterwards.

The First Baby:' The first birth' in this city was on the 25th of
October last. The Lawrence Association donated the boy a first
'class city lot, and named him Lawrence Carpenter, after the city
and his parents;. We learn that the little fellow is quite healthy
~d is growing finely. May he live to see our beautiful city ranld.ng '.,.,
with the first in the Union in all that pertains to wealth, education,
morality, and refinement.
,
We mq be allowed to sa:y, in this cormection, that the first
White child born in Chicago is now but twenty-two years old, while
the city boasts· of a population of near 80,000. May not a destiz\r
E;lqually prosperous await our own Lawrence?

In the matter of the petition of Benjamin S'. Hancock.

Margaretta Hancock, sworn, says: That she is the wife of petitioner~ and
that in the years, 1855 and 1856 we were living 'on our claim two and a;-half miles;
from Lecompton. He was, from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and a free-5tate man~ and not
in good odor with the people of Lecompton on accoWlt of his political opinions. In
the ye~ 1855~ duririg the Wakarusa war~ Mr. Hancock came to Lawrence to save his
l.1fe~ and help, while protecting himself, to protect others. 'While he was gone~
some me~ from Lecompton came and threw do~ our fences~ arid the cattle got in and
destroyed our corn. The're were niri~ or ten 'acres in corn;' it was sod corn. Mr.
Hanrock had gathered a little of the corn to feed with before he came down to Lawrence ;:the rest destroyed. It was pretty good sod corn. This was all we lost of
much'./value during that year.
.
.
, In the" month, of August or September, 1856, while Il\Y husband was absent-having fled to save his life~-a company of men, calling themselves Kickapoo Rangers ~
about fifty irl nUIllber, came to our house. It was SWl~ morning. They were commanded by one John Randolph~ He paraded his men before the house~ ordered !¥he men
to go in and search the house, and take what they could find for the use of the southern artl\Y. The men entered the house from both sides, began swearing, s¢ng we had. ',',
a store for the abolitionists at LaWrence,but they would not get it. Then they commenced plundering; some in one room;' some in the other; some up stairs, turning over
the beds ~ taking the blankets, swearing they were too good for abolitionists; inquired
for Mr. ~ancock;: swore if'they had him they would kill him. They took coffee, sugar~
crackers~ meat~ harness--several sets, &amp;c.
'They took all my provisions. I expostulated with them; told them they were
gentlemen to take all I had to eat, my husband being gone, and I having tu&gt; little
ones to attend to. M". Lamb then took a piece of meat,some dried fruit, and a washpan full of coffee, and gave them to me. Captain Randolph got mad, ordered Mr. Lamb
to leave ,his compan;r, as' his conduct was' a aisgrace to it,;; that he was a' coward and
a: trait OJ;" to his company. Lamb said he would not see a, woman hungry. Pistols were,
drawn by Randolph, :who said the next thing taken out of the wagon he 'WOUld shoot'
the man wo did it.Lamb wanted to leave a sack of flower, but was compelled to give
it up. Randolph made a speech, saying~ among other things, he would go over with his
thingstti Lecompton~ and come back again. They broke and destroyed everything they
could lq their hands on that they, did not carry awa:y. That afternoon about 300 men
came on horseback, accompariied by some wagonsJ: picked up what they wanted, throwed
do~ the :fence; drove and rode through the cornf:l.eld~ set fire to the house three
times~ lnl:t it was put out. The barn and its contents they burnt down. There were in
it ploughs and chests of tools and ever,ything necessar,y to car.r,y on a farm.
Between the two visits on that dq I had. obtained a guard from Colonel Cooke,
and had thrown a few light things into &gt;the wagon. The last body who came even tried
to rob the wagon of the few things it contained, but were suceessful~ resisted by the
guard.'
.
,
Myself and mother came back to the hoUse atter' the barn was burned,' and,
waiting t~ll dark, hid some things by covering them up in the garden, but they were
all stolen and broken up.
,
'~he items in the house and barn, as set down in the petition~ were ~t:~a6-,
ried aw:q~ destroyed~ or burned up at that time, except the items for ,8POOns~ Thera
