Notes for Abiel Fellows, Jr:
Abiel received common school education. At age fifteen while still living in Canaan, CT he joined the Connecticut militia which joined Gate's and Schuyler's armies. He fought with his uncle who commanded a division at the Battle of Freeman's Farm in Oct 7, 1777, and at Saratoga on Oct 17, 1777 when Burgoyne surrendered. He returned home but re enlisted remaining in the service until peace was declared. His services drew a pension of ninety six dollars a year.
In 1785 he obtained several thousand acres of land around Luzerne, Pa. selling some and living on the rest 44 years until 1829. He was a county commissioner and justice of the peace for many years. He was a colonel in the War of 1812, his regiment fighting with Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie, Sep 10, 1813. He later joined General Harrison. In 1817 he engaged in mercantile trade and remained in the business for several years. In 1820 he explored some western states. He traveled from Pennsylvania, on horseback to Quincy, Illinois and located a land-warrant in Fulton Co. of that state. Having comfortably settled his older children in Pennsylvania, he concluded to take the younger ones west and located farms in prairie country. Therefore, in 1829, he started for Michigan in the early spring, and reached Prairie Ronde in March. He staked his claim on Gourd-Neck Pairie, returned to the eastern part of the state, and wrote his sons Thomas and James to come immediately to Michigan. They came, arriving some time in may. In the mean time, Joseph Frankes and father came up from Young's Prairie, took possession of his claim and held it. Abiel then located on the southwest side of Pairie Ronde, now section T. 4S., R. 12W. They built a house and commenced fencing and plowing. The land not being on the market, he could not secure it by purchase, and was obliged to remain on it in order to retain it.
In 1831 he purchased four hundred acres in a body, in Pairie Ronde and Schoolcraft Twps. In 1830 he was appointed postmaster of Prairie Ronde and also had the contract for carrying the mail from White Pigeon to Prairie Ronde. That same winter he built a sawmill on Rocky River, on Section 26, Prairie Ronde, the first in Kalamazoo county. He sold his mill to Wheeler & Crosby in 1832. He was a supervisor and Highway Commissioner, and with Christopher Bair and Delmore Duncan laid out the first road from Prairie Ronde to Bronson (now Kalamazoo), and assessed the first tax in the county.
In 1832, the year of the Blackhawk War, Col Fellows was seventy years old, he carried for Lyman I. Daniels, who was the acting Colonel, and was also land agent for the parties in Detroit, important papers and money to Detroit. He rode a horse , carrying papers and money in the saddlebags and reached Detroit in three days, a distance of one hundred and sixty miles and after transacting business made the return trip in three days. Lyman I. Daniels said he was the only man he could find with sufficient courage to undertake such a perilous journey. He applied for a government pension the same year while living in Kalamazoo, MI.

The following biography of Abiel, known as "Father Fellows", was written on Oct 30, 1881 by Susanna Harrison Fellows, wife of Asahel Fellows, son to Abiel;

"Abiel Fellows was born in Connecticut, Canaan Township, Litchfield County, October 1, 1764 and lived with his father till the year he was 16 when he joined the army, where he remained for some time. There were three brothers who sailed (over to) England. Their names were Drake Fellows, Jonathan Fellows and Abiel fellows. The youngest of the three returned home to Connecticut where he married an estimable lady by the name of Anna Downing Andrews on November 12, 1780.
With her he commenced life with bright hopes for the future, but in nine short years the death angel called her home. Oh how sad a change. Even when our prospects are brightest we are in death. Thus father Fellows was called to submit to God's holly will. thus time sped on with changes for in two years after her death, he married a young lady, the name of Catherine Mann on February 17, 1791.
With her he emigrated to Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and in the year 1796 settled on the bank of East Fishing Creek, by some called Valley River. It was a beautiful stream, pebble bottom, fed by springs clear as crystal and abounding with fish. The beautiful hemlock with it's wavy branches, the tall stately pine, the evergreen, the ivy bordered it's banks. The sugar maple grew in abundance all along it's banks. It's bottom lands are very productive. In places the bluffs come near the bank of the stream. It is four miles from the Susquehenna River. Along this river six other families from Connecticut settled, their prospects bright. here father and mother Fellows commenced life anew getting their land at government prices. They did not look at the privations of pioneer life. They prospered right along. All was hope, joy and gladness. There were three sons and three daughters; their names were Andres, Abiel, Asahel, Anne, Amanda and Almira Fellows. When in an unexpected hour his lovely Catherine was called by death's relentless hand to a long farewell to her loving husband and her dear children. Oh, could they give her up and tread on life's journey without her? She was in her thirty second year. She had light blue eyes, light hair,a lovely complexion. Well educated, and with every endearment one could wish to make her endearing to her husband and family, but lo, this lively form lay silent in death. No more shall we see those cheerful smiling eyes, nor hear her sweet, clear voice. Her youngest son was three years and three months old. His dear little children to help their father bear the burdens of life. They had only to submit. Thus time passed on. Father kept his children together, Anne Fellows taking charge. a sister of his, living near, assisted and in due course of time he married again, to Dorcus Hopkins (note: 2 months, 10 days later).
In the year 1827, he emigrated with his wife Dorcus Fellows and settled on Prairie Round with their six youngest sons and five youngest daughters, once more a pioneer willing to brave the hardships of a new life in this beautiful country then a territory. Yes pen would fail to describe beauties and grandeur of this place- the wide stretched prairies the tall timber almost as straight a line could be drawn, soil so rich, ten miles from Three Rivers, and eleven miles from Constantine. On the bank of the St Joseph River, here he commenced with Mr Duncan for his neighbor, who was from Vermont, a farmer and a millwright. When the news was first heard that they could preempt their land their shouts were loud enough to reach the vaulted sky and no doubt they did and they would not have prospered.
Father Fellows was a man always in public business, being elected Justice of the Peace in Pennsylvania, where he served for over twenty years previous to leaving there. it was said by many it would be hard to surpass Esquire Fellows' judgement. Always full of mirth he was called to marry a great many couples. He was a fine looking man, five feet eight inches tall with black eyes, black hair, high minded. He was persevering to the end. He had full command in his family. He often had prayer meetings in his own house before churches were built. His religious views were Presbyterian. He kept five young horses, two buggies, one two-horse sleigh. Each of his daughters had a side saddle of her own at the age of eighteen.
He left his three sons to manage the three farms in Pennsylvania, which consisted of eleven hundred acres in one body divided into three farms. Asahel was put on the homestead, Jefferson on the middle farm, Abiel on the lower farm to do and tend the best they could. This they tried to do.
Father Fellows died August 15, 1833 in Michigan. His loss so deeply felt by all his large family now left. His well heard voice was now still in death. Oh, what a change! Soon his large and happy family were scattered for the will read thus, being written during his last sickness by Mr Lewtrip, a lawyer. The will read thus;
Will of Abiel Fellows
All my Pennsylvania property is to be sold, including the three farms with the rest. One half the money paid to Dorcas Fellows, my wife, in cash. The other half is to pay said legacies--$500 to be paid to Abiel Fellows, $100 to Amanda Fellows, $100 to Almira Fellows, $100 to Catherine Fellows, $400 to Elizabeth Fellows, $400 to Lucy Fellows, these legacies to be paid out of his Pennsylvania properties and the remainder handed over to the parties as the will and much properties still remained unsold when Asahel gave up the papers into Andrew's hands as Father Fellows' executor.
They were appraised by three disinterested parties and found in judgements and notes due the estate seven thousand and seventy six hundred dollars due the state respectively. When brother Andrews Fellows resigned his executorship to Mr Gross, the Michigan property was left under Mother Fellows' control during her life. Then it was to be divided among her four youngest sons, Simon Snider Hopkins Fellows was supposed to be considered among those so he had helped, as the will read. This will was considered by many , written after his better judgement had left him. His soldier right was left out. he had a large house, barn and orchard on his new Michigan farm. He was buried on a rise on his own farm. Mother now lies by his side and our little Sally Ann Fellows was buried by him and brother Timothy Fellows also has a child buried there. Orville H. Fellows now occupies his Michigan Home."

Note: George Marshall Fellows has the children found here under the marriage of Abiel and his third wife Dorcus Hopkins as being the children of Abiel's father by his third wife, Sara Howe. Jerry Fellows has Abiel/Dorcus' children as shown here. I believe Jerry Fellows is correct since Abiel/Dorcus moved to Michigan in 1829, where many of the children ended up and his age is more consistent with that of his children. Although Canaan VR show the marriage of Abiel's father Abiel/Sara Howe, no children are shown and he was already 64 at the time of this last marriage.***

***Note; see narrative in daughter Sarah Fellows section.***


Notes for Anna Demming Andrews:
Anna's maiden name was described as Anna Downing Andrews by Susanna Harrison Fellows, wife of Asahel Fellows, who was Abiel Jr's son by another marriage. Annie was buried in North Canaan, Lower Cemetery, Canaan, CT. Her name on the headstone reads 'Anna Demming Fellows." No children were listed by Susanna Fellows for this marriage.

Notes for Catherine Mann:
Catherine was buried at Scott's Burying Ground, HT, Luzerne CO., PA.

Notes for Dorcus Hopkins:
Dorcus applied for her husbands pension Mar 5, 1859, a resident of Prarie Ronde Twp, MI. He age then was listed as 72. She applied at the time for BLW. Witnesses were Delamore Duncan and John Insley.

  Notes for Sarah Fellows:
Excerpt from, "A Scrap of History of Early Decatur Michigan and Vicinity 1929-1976", by Catherine Howland. Heading a letter from Mrs Richard J. Hayck (Sarah Fellows) 1910;
"Dear Mr Secretary, when I received your letter asking me to write you a history of my life, I said ,"Why I have no history", for while I have lived an unusually long life, it has been an unusually uneventful one. However, such as it is, since you asked for it, I will give to you, trusting there may be some point of interest in it for you, other days so long gone by.
I am the daughter of Col Abiel Fellows, a Revolutionary soldier who enlisted from Canaan, CT. I was born March 19, 1818, in Luzern County, Pennsylvania and one of thirteen children. My father was a farmer and we lived in the Shickshinny Mountains, a spur of the Alleganys. In the year 1829, when I was eleven years old, we moved to Kalamazoo County, Michigan. I shall never forget this journey made with two prairie schooners, one drawn by three horses and the other by two. We were twenty days on the road, camping at night at the most convenient places. I remember crossing the Cuyhoga River at Cleveland, Ohio and on such a strange looking bridge, which they called a float bridge. I remember too, of the three long days in the Maumee Swamp, where the mud seemed to have no bottom. It was in this swamp I saw my first Indian, which perhaps, helps to enhance the unpleasant memories. (Here recounts the story of her father's exploits at the age of seventy, it is told in full in the narrative of his life.) The Indians around us at home were very friendly and often came to us for favors. I once saw the noted old Indian Shavehead, whose boast was that he had the scalps of 99 white people and was waiting for the one hundredth one. I saw him at a flower field a mile and a half from home.
I knew it was my scalp he was waiting for, so I tied my bonnet strings clear to the ends thinking I would make him all the trouble I could in getting my scalp and then ran every step of the way home.
The first district school was in our neighborhood and I married it's third grade teacher, Richard J. Huyck, we commenced housekeeping in the village of Kalamazoo where my husband was employed as a salesman and bookkeeper to the only dry goods store of the place. One year later, we removed to Cass County and bought the farm I still own. I am the mother of seven children, five of them and my husband having gone to the other shore. my two remaining and are living together in the village of Decatur.
In writing of these past days I can scarcely realize that the little girl who, back in the Pennsylvania hills, rode the work horses to the creek for their noonday drink, and thought it the greatest happiness conceivable, can be the aged woman whom my mirror reflects and who will be ninety years old next March. and is only living person who came to Kalamazoo County in 1829. In reply to my grand children who say so often, "grandmother , would you like to young again?", I say "no" yet save the loss of my friends, I have had a very peaceful, happy life, but I am getting tired and amid the lengthening shadows, I would rather go on to the end in the appointed way than to go back over the long road again. I rest in assurance what ever the great change brings, I shall be satisfied.
