History of Newcomb Township

Page 160:

"The next settler was William Pancake; he settled near Pancake Point, February, 1837; he was from Madison county, Ohio, and lived on the place he improved until he died, December, 1855. J. W. Pancake also came to this township in the year 1837; he was from Ohio, and at that time was seventeen years of age. In 1845 he was united in marriage to Miss Hormal, daughter of Joel Hormal, an early settler in Mahomet township. Mr. Pancake lived in the township until 1868, and then removed to Mahomet, where he now resides."

Page 161:

"First school was taught in Jesse Pancake's old log house; he had built a better house to live in. This was in the year 1851, and Miss Martha Newel, afterwards Mrs. Lyons, was the teacher. Only one term taught in this place."

"First Birth.---Joseph Pancake was supposed to be the first birth, son of William and Catharine Pancake, January, 1841."

"The first resident that was married was William Pancake. He married Miss Catharine Phillippe, daughter of John Phillippe, sen. They were married at Phillippe's residence in what is now Condit township, in 1840."

"The first burial-ground was located on section 22, on J. W. Pancake's land."

          "There was a Pancake family here, but I don't know much about them except there was a daughter Frances Emma Pancake. Civil War Veteran Fielding Brownfield married her after the war. The marriage didn't last long, just long enough for her to discover he was a real curmudgeon. This evaluation is one at which we arrive following his long life. Anyway he came home drunk & was ruining the garden with a hoe in his drunken stupor. Emma tried to get him to stop, he ignored her, and she clubbed him in the back with another hoe. He spent a couple of months in bed, and they split up. Neighbors joked that "Field had one Pancake too many.""
