| Note* | According to the records from Goshen Baptist Church, Greene County, Pennsylvania, via Donald C. Dakan, a fellow named Thomas Dakans was received for baptism on March 30, 1805. This may have been our Thomas since he would have been about 21 in that year. His father Ebenezer (1760) lived in Greene County, Pennsylvania according to the 1810 census. According to the web site www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/5417/GenReports/dakan.htm Thomas Dakan was a Baptist Minister and was known as Rev. Thomas Dakan. He and his brother William settled in Morrow County, Ohio where they had land grants. Earlier places of residence were Monroe County, Ohio; Ohio County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and Greene County, Pennsylvania. According to an article "The Dakan Family" by Donald C. Dakan, Thomas bought land in Monroe County, Ohio in the early 1830's and then later moved to Williamsport, Morrow County, Ohio. According to the Cumberlain Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania Tax Records for 1815, Thomas Dakan paid taxes on 2 horses, 1 cow and 1 dog. The 1850 census for Morrow County, Ohio, Congress Township has the following: Name Age Page Dakan, Sarah 58 466a I believe Sarah is the widow of Thomas who died in 1837. Thomas was a Preacher and his wife's tombstone in Iowa says she was the wife of Rev. Thomas Dakan. The e-mail from Stacy Dakan dated 8 Apr 2002 states that Thomas Dakan and Sarah Dakan were the witnesses to a will by Peter Atkinson which was dated 27 Mar 1826 and recorded in January of 1827. 8 |

Savannah is essentially a mercantile city, and as such, has never given much attention to manufacturing enterprises. Situated as it is in the midst of one of the finest agricultural regions of the West, it has depended altogether upon the country for support, but with increased railway facilities the town may yet become an important manufacturing as well as commercial center. One of the earliest industries of the town was a small tannery, operated upon a limited scale as early as 1846 or 1847, by Thomas Dakin, who did a fairly successful business for several years. He made a good article of leather, but rumors agree in saying that he realized on great fortune from this venture." From History of Andrew and DeKalb Counties, Missouri, The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1888, page 163 we have the following: "From the fact that the Nodaway Lodge had among its members some of the oldest Odd Fellows in Missouri, as well as some of the most active and efficient, for several years it occupied a prominent position among the sister lodges of the state. Among those who identified themselves with the lodge from time to time during the early years of its history the following are deserving of appropriate mention: Jeremiah Coil, ... Thomas Dakin, ... and Paul Mauritzius." For additional information about the early Missouri Dakans' see Morris Levering. He was the uncle of Mrs. F.B. Hutchinson and Lou Pyburn of Silverdale, Ks. e-mail from Cynthia Young. 1856 census for Polk township, Taylor Counth, Iowa shows Thomas and Albert.

He was the seventh child of my Uncle Thomas and the only one of eight children still living. This same person also stated that Neri P. Dakan was his grandfather. I have several documents from Karen Dakan which confirm most of the date about W.A. Dakan. She is married to W. A's son, Stephen, and should know the facts about her father-in-law.

| Note* | William Dakan was a private in Co. D, Powell's Battalion, Missouri Mounted Volunteers, Mexican War, according to the Family Group Sheet for William Dakan, c 1824 from Donald C. Dakan. 10 children were born with 5 surviving to adulthood. 1850 Census for Andrew County, Missouri obtained from Andrew County Historical Society, March 1999 has the following data: Daken, William Andrew County 061 Savannah Name Age Sex Where born Dakan, William 25 M Va. Angeline F. 22 F Ohio Charles W. 2/12 M Mo. Elizabeth J. Simmons 8 F Mo. I don't know who Elizabeth J. Simmons is as of March 1999 or how she became to be living in the Dakan household. The following is from the Groliers Interactive Encyclopedia and is about the Missouri volunteers. "Kearny in New Mexico Immediately after the declaration of war, Brigadier General Stephen Watts Kearny, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, was ordered to occupy New Mexico and California. With an army consisting largely of Missouri volunteers and numbering fewer than 2,000 (though gloriously labeled the Army of the West), he moved down the Santa Fe Trail into New Mexico in July 1846. The Mexican governor was unable to rally any resistance, and Kearny entered Santa Fe unopposed on Aug. 18, 1846. The conquest of New Mexico had, in fact, taken place through peaceful trade and commerce in the preceding years. Kearny established a civil government with Charles Bent, a Santa Fe trader from Missouri, as governor. He then divided his command into three groups: one, under Sterling Price, was to occupy New Mexico; a second, under Alexander William Doniphan, was ordered to capture Chihuahua; the third, under his own command, headed for California. Price faced unrest and then rebellion in New Mexico in January 1847. Bent was murdered at his home in Taos. Price fought three engagements with rebels, many of whom were Pueblo Indians, and by mid-February had the revolt under control. Doniphan and the Missouri Volunteers struggled down the Rio Grande, suffering many privations along the route, to reach the vicinity of present El Paso, Tex., late in December 1846. On Christmas Day at El Brazito they were attacked by a small detachment of Mexicans who were easily routed. The Missourians rested at Paso del Norte (present Ciudad Juarez) until February. 8, 1847, when the march to Chihuahua City began. On February 28 the Americans won a decisive victory at the crossing of the Sacramento River just outside Chihuahua. Their casualties consisted of one killed and five wounded; Mexican losses were about 300 dead and another 300 wounded. In May, Doniphan took his command eastward to Saltillo to join Taylor's forces." From "1915 History of Harrison County" by Charles Hunt and Will L. Clark, page 410, comes the information that William Dakan, a Mexican Soldier moved to Harrison County in the spring of 1851. He located on the old Joseph Culver farm in St. John Township. This history also says the first public school in the district was constructed in 1858 and was known as "Dakan school". From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 31 comes the fact that William Dakan was elected to the county board in 1866. From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 74 comes the fact that William Dakan was elected during the first elections as Prosecuting Attorney. Also from the book "History of Harrison County", by Joe H. Smith, 1888, page 192 comes the quote - "Prosecuting Attorneys. The first personage to adorn this exalted position was Mr. William Dakan of Jefferson Township, he being elected at the first election held in the county, which occurred, as before stated, on the 7th day of March, 1853. Lawyer Dakan qualified and discharged the onerous duties of this position by drawing the salary provided therefor, and when informed that Stephen King had resigned, possessing a modesty worthy of imitation in these latter days, rather than take upon himself the duties of County Judge (for he, by reason of his position, was County Judge ad interim), also resigned the office of County Prosecuting Attorney; and as a result one Richard Humphreys (called Dick Humbhreys) was, on the 5th day of December, 1853, appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Dakan. Mr. Dakan, though not a lawyer, possessed, largely, the symptoms, except that he was a strict temperance man; but outside of this was as windy as the most "gassy" professional lawyer in all the State of Iowa, not barring the other thirty-seven States of this glorious Union. There is a certain peculiarity touching the first Prosecuting Attorney of this county, and the individual who was appointed to fill his unexpired term, in this: Mr. Dakan was one of the most liberal, enterprising, faithful and upright, uncompromising men of this part of the State, but to him reverses came, matters over which he had no control, and by reason of miscalculation, failed financially, to the utter astonishment of all his friends and neighbors, fled from the face of his creditors, while there was an abundance of property to much more than satisfy his every debt. But the man who had moved in the highest circles of the county, when misfortune crossed his pathway had not the courage to stand faithfully at the financial helm and shore a craft that would have more than paid every obligation, but chose to let it sink without witnessing the scene." From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 249 comes the statement that in the fall of 1853, the first election was held in La Grange Township and it was organized. The election selected Michael Rogers and William Dakan as Justices of the Peace for La Grange Township. Page 250 of the same book relates that the first public school building was erected in 1858 and was known as the "Dakan School." The first to teach at the school was a man named Stone. Also on page 250 is the fact that William Dakan was a member by 1888 of the Harris Grove Farmer's Club. The book "Pioneer History of Harrison County 1851 - 1861", by Horace H. McKenney, page 14 also says "The first election for Lagrange Township was held in Harris Grove in 1853. At this election William Dakan and Michael Rogers were elected Justices of the Peace." Later on the same page is "The first celebration was held near the resicence of William Dakan July 4th 1863. A bowery ws built of forked posts and poles with brush for a shade, protecting the long board tables underneath, with the load of luscious viands, from the burning rays of the sun." The book "Pioneer History of Harris Grove" also on page 15 speaks of the first schools built in Harris Grove. It says "The first school house, frame, called the Baughn School, was built in the summer of 1857, on a hill north of Reeder's Mill, near north center of Section 34, Jefferson Township, and Sarah J. Imlay was the first instructor. The lumber for this school was sawed at the Whitinger saw mill , and was built by Thomas J. Hunter. John A. Parkin, with his one horse power shingle machine, cut the shingles for it. The next, a log school house, was built by William Townsend and John A. McKenney, in the fall of 1858, and stood near the south center of Lot 9, in Section 6, Union Township and Orin Soule was the first teacher. In 1859 three frame school houses were built, viz: Mt. Vernon and Linwood, and the Dakan; Mt. Vernon located on north side of Welch creek near the west end of Lot 1, Section 3, and Linwood, where Linwood church now stands, and the Dakan located near the east center of Lot 14, Section 1, all in Lagrange Township." From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 250 is a listing of the first members of the Harris Grove Farmers Club which lists among the 26 or so members up to 1888 William Dakan. From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 253 comes the fact that "In 1851 came William Dakan, who settled on section 26 (St. John's Township). He moved to Nebraska in 1888." The book "1915 History of Harrison County" by Charles Hunt and Will L. Clark, page 356 has the same information. As a matter of fact both books use virtually the same language and I (David O. Dakan) believe the 1915 History borrowed the passage from the 1891 history. From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 810 comes the fact that Benjamin A. Divelbess who lived in Section 4 of LaGrange Township attended school in the winter of 1854-55 on what is known as the William Dakan farm, in Union Township, the same being a subscription school, and J. B. McCurly being the teacher. From the book "History, Harrison County, Iowa", National Publishing Company, 1891, page 817 comes the fact that William Dakan was the Postmaster of Harris Grove. The 1854 census for Harrison County, page 1 shows the following information: Page 1 Dakan, Wm. #4 LaGrange Twp. I (David O. Dakan) am not sure what the #4 means, but it appears from examination of the rest of the entries that it may mean how many persons are in the household. From the book "Pioneer History of Harris Grove, page 25 comes the following biography of William Dakan: "William Dakan and his wife, Angeline Ashley Dakan, moved from St. John Twp. to the Grove and settled on the Hodges Claim in Lot 10, Sec. 6, Union Twp. Two cabins stood on the land, the builder, Hodges, was of the Brigham Young faith and had two wives. Mr. Dakan was a politician of local standing, a pettifogger and farmer. Acquiring a large farm, he dealt on a large scale in live stock. Meeting with financial reverses he moved away. Mrs. Dakan was a kind hearted woman and rarely went away. Family Married Charles Frank P. Delia Green Thomas B. Hattie Williams John Fremont Amanda Sorey James W. Irene Owens" From the Nebraska GenWeb in April, 2000 comes the following information: Extracted from the "Nebraska State Gazetteer, Business Directory and Farmers List for 1890-91 for Chase County, Nebraska is the following: Name Town Dakan, J. F. Imperial Dakan, Jas. W. Imperial Dakan, Wm Imperial I (David Dakan) think this was the above William Dakan and two of his sons. John Freemont Dakan and James W. Dakan. It could be this is where they went after leaving Iowa. Fom the bood "History of Western Iowa - It's settlement and growth 1882 comes the followng: page 319 "William Dakan came to Harris Grove at a very early day. He settled first near St. Johns and soon afterwards moved to Harris Grove, where he is still living." The 1870 census index for Iowa shows two persons by the name of William Dakan in the same place as M. L. Dakan. I (David O. Dakan) am sure on of the William Dakan's is this person, but do not know who the other one is. 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,9 |

| Note* | The handwritten supplement to "The Dakan Family" says William and Elizabeth moved to Colorado to Homestead in 1870 from Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri. Letha Marie Shull Mowry, 417 S. Walnut, Maryville, Mo, 64468-2464 has his date of birth as 1841, Ohio. Also says he lived in Douglas Co., Colorado. "The Dakan Family" written in 1983 by Judy Mikelson relates that William Allen set out from Maryville, Missouri for Colorado in 1870. He joined his brother George who had come three years earlier in 1867. Allen Dakan chose a homestead just north of his brother's, located two miles west of West Plum Creek right at the onset of the foothills (now part of the William Sinclair ranch). Having located a homestead, it was now time for Allen's family to join him. Elizabeth Cahill Dakan, a young lady of nineteen joined a wagon train for her journey to Colorado. She, with her two children, Albert who was three years old and Orie who was one year old traveled in a covered wagon pulled by an Oxen team across the plains from Missouri. Allen and Elizabeth built a log house just north of Plum Creek. There the family would increase with three daughters, Ida, Nellie and Maude and another son Frank. The original homestead cabin was getting small so the family erected another log home, this time south of Dry Creek, up the hill a little. The large two log rooms were added to in later years and a second story was constructed. (After the Dakan ranch was sold the original log rooms and lower floor of the house was moved north about two miles and is now the Wallace Turner home.) The Ute Indians still roamed the hills from Fort Collins to Canon City. The east slope of the mountains was their home. From about 1860 to 1875 the settlers along West Plum Creek often banded together to protect their lives. The Ben Quick ranch was fortified for their fort. The settlers often spent days at a time at the fort until the Indian uprising would calm down. The whole valley rested a little more when the Indians were finally moved to western Colorado. Being so close to the foothills the Dakans often encountered the Indians, and many Indian stories were told in the family. A couple of the favorites were; In peaceful times the Indians would beg the pioneers for a share of their gardens. Allen Dakan once told an Indian squaw she could have all the squash she could carry. The squaw took out a knife and cut a hole in the squash and threaded them on the reins of her horse and away she rode. The story is also told of Indians stopping and begging Elizabeth for food. She was busy washing and after many NO's simply grabbed a broom and chased them off. The older Dakan children attended Gove Canyon elementary school. Later the Lone Tree school was built and the younger children went to school there. About 1895 things were busy in the Dakan foothills. Dakan City, built on the George Dakan property, just west of Allen Dakan's homestead sprang to life. Dakan City was the result of a gold find in the foothills, the town was proposed to have many residents in a short time. For a short while it thrived compleat with a hotel, stage coach service and a post office from December 30, 1896 to August 2, 1898. The gold find was not as large as originally thought and the town collapsed after only a few years. Dakan City Platt dated 1897 of Douglas County. There is also a road called Dakan road in the area somewhere. Religion because of the long distances between neighbors was not a big part of the Dakan family life, but as son Albert wrote, the Bible stood in the living room and his father said their religion was "in doing right". |
