The Major was tied to his horse for the trip to the Monroe County Jail. Maj.

J E Fletcher was captured and incarcerated in the Lenawee Co Jail at Tecumseh. A copy of the letter written by him May 5, 1835, tells of his imprisonment Journal of the General Assembly of the State of Ohio Vol 33, pg 68. Colonel Fletcher, was retained to "test the validity of the arrest" and spent some months in custody in Tecumseh. Benjamin Baxter's account of the events, found in Clara Waldron's One Hundred Years – A Country Town, states that Fletcher was:
"a genial gentleman not suffering apparently from his term of incarceration, but sometimes subjecting us to the inconvenience of hunting him up when we had occasion to use the jail for some counterfeiter or horse thief, as he was likely to be found out riding with one of the sheriff's lovely daughters, having taken the jail keys with him." Jonathan Emerson FLETCHER, eldest son of Joseph Fletcher, born in 1806, removed to Western New York in 1832, and to Ohio in 1833. In 1835 he was appointed by Governor LUCAS, of Ohio, with others, to re-mark the boundary between Ohio and Michigan. In 1838 he went to Muscatine, Iowa, and became a major-general of militia. He was a member of the convention which drafted the state constitution of Iowa, was elected state senator, and was twice appointed United States agent to the Winnebago Indians, serving twelve years. He was a General of the Union Army in the Civil War. He died in 1872 and is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery, Muscatine Co, Iowa |

In order for a women to be a Real Daughter, she has to be the daughter of a Revolutionary War patriot, so if your father fought in the Revolutionary Way, and you joined the DAR, you would be a Real Daughter, because you are a first generation later descendant of the patriot. However, you marry and have a daughter, she joins the DAR, she is not a Real Daughter, because she is the granddaughter of the patriot. Real Daughters were born to patriots.
It is amazing to think that some Real Daughters were born late in life to patriots. Back then, women died in childbirth, and men remarried, a lot, several times. There are some Real Daughters who were born when their fathers were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's.
Second generations direct descendants, granddaughters and grandson for the SAR membership can join, because they are direct line descendants, and any of their direct line descendants.
Courtesy Karen Jenter, 2011In Lenawee County, the following are designated as Real Daughters:
- Palmer, Emeline Buker, Oakwood Cemetery, Adrian Twp, daughter of Israel H. Buker, Revolutionary War Patriot of Massachusetts; b. 26 Mar 1835; d. 02 Apr 1921
- Bartlett, Elizabeth, Ogden Center Zion Cemetery, Ogden Twp, daughter of Abraham Bartlet, Revolutionary War Patriot of New York; b. 13 Jun 1803; d. 13 Nov 1897
- Sherman, Marilla Hill, Brookside Cemetery, Tecumseh Twp, daughter of Zimri Hill, Revolutionary War Patriot of Vermont; b. 22 Dec 1807; d. 27 Nov 1898
This is the name used in the United States to describe a series of conflicts between white settlers or the federal government and the native peoples of North America. As far as we know, there is only one veteran of these conflicts from Lenawee County.
Jack, Fulton, died 06 Jul 1843, aged 44 yrs; buried in the McLain Cemetery, Raisin Twp.
