AULL GENEALOGY
INFORMATION
PROVIDED BY TEAGON GALLAGER
Since the Aull business now
closed has meant so much to Auburn for the 103 years they were in business -
we ask ourselves - "what do we know about the Aull family and where did they
come from and also where have they dispersed to?"
The answer to some of these questions have been answered by Teagon
Gallager an avid genealogist who came across my web site while
trying to trace some of the AULL family tree. We also thank Teagon and his
fellow genealogists for their permission to put the following information on
the website.
Tracing ones roots is like the Internet - "one never get to the end of it."
So any further information will be greatly appreciated.
I am delighted to get this feed-back and if I can be of
further help, do not hesitate to contact me.

James
All/Aull is of great interest to
the search for Aquilla All’s ancestry
– both parallel each other in name, time, and locations. My difficulty in
connecting the two is point-of-view. There are records for a James All and a
James Aull. If I take the point of view from looking backward from Sullivan
county, Indiana to Nelson county, then James All is the likeliest connection.
If I look forward from Philadelphia and Maryland, then James Aull is the
candidate. James is a ubiquitous name, thus it’s difficult to tell if there is
only one James or two separate Jameses in early Nelson County, Kentucky. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Because of the
dichotomy, I’ve presented the two records side-by-side. |

James All |
James Aull |
|
James is the first All to appear in Kentucky records – he
was recorded in the 1802 tax lists of Nelson county.
Being born between 1770 and 1775 makes him a candidate for
being Aquilla All’s elder brother, Aquilla being born in 1784.
In June of 1833 he witnesses the will of Ignatius Drewry in
Nelson county, Kentucky. Ignatius may have been a father-in-law to
Benjamin Aull of Daviess county, Kentucky (see Appendix F).
Based on early census records, he was married and had
enumerated three sons and three daughters. The three sons could well be
Thomas M., Robert Pitt, and Aquilla B. The three daughters are unknowns
and could have died before reaching maturity. The All females listed in
the early Nelson county marriage records have been accounted for.
Because, however, I don’t know when James died, there is
the small possibility that an elderly James removed from Nelson county
along with his unwed daughters.
James does not remove to Daviess county, Kentucky as do
those Alls who become Aulls, nor does he remove to Vigo/Sullivan counties,
Indiana.

From pages 25 and 26 of The Aull and Martin Genealogy
by William Ferris Aull, published by Ware Bros. Company (Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania) in 1920:
John Aull had several children, all of whom we are told,
were born in the city of Philadelphia. …
We are of the opinion that the two brothers, William and
James [sons of John Aull], somewhere about 1808 to 1810, left
Philadelphia, and together went south into Maryland. We know William
subsequently drifted into western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio, and
is the ancestor of numerous families in that section, all of whom are
herein referred, being members of the Aull family whose history forms the
subject of this book.
We are told James married a Mary Andre, of
Baltimore, and subsequently settled in Bardstown, Kentucky, where he
raised a family.
Of these children, we are informed Aquilla B. and Thomas M.
went to California. We have no record of Aquilla B. Thomas M. went to
California in 1852, and located at Liberty, San Joaquin county. He was a
physician, graduating from St. Louis University in 1850. He was also a
civil engineer. He served as a member of the California Legislature in
1856-57.
Thomas M. raised a family of several children, among whom
our attention has been called to Edward, James, and Charles, also a
daughter Clara Eveline, who married a Mr. Stump, of New York City.
Robert Pitt [Aull], another son of James and Mary (Andre)
Aull, remained in Kentucky, where he raised a family, and where he died in
1871. His son Albert S. Aull, is a resident of Auburn, Kentucky, while his
youngest son, John A. Aull, lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
We have been told the Aulls of Dayton, Ohio, are
descendants of the Kentucky family, but have no data to verify it.

James All/Aull Progeny |

Listed below are
the issue specifically attributed to James Aull. Observation: Unlike the
Daviess county, Kentucky Aulls
and the Vigo/Sullivan counties, Indiana Alls, they do not name their sons
Benjamin. |

James All’s Spouse |
James Aull’s Spouse |

I have no records or clues to whom James All married.
Thus, if he is one and the same as James Aull, then his
spouse is Mary Andre. |
Mary Andre
Born:

Married: Baltimore City County,
Maryland
Spouse: James Aull
Issue: Thomas M., Robert Pitt, and Aquilla B.
Died:
Interred:
Mary is quite intriguing. According to a correspondent, she
is associated with the Andre family connected to Aaron Burr.
If that is true, then that could explain
1) why James Aull went to Kentucky so early – to escape
scandal.
2) why there’s no hint via surnames used as given or middle
names preserving the maternal lineage.
I wonder, however, if the connection is true. It was a Major
Andre who was the dastardly traitor. He emigrated as a singleton person
from London, England and made his home in Boston – not Baltimore. And, by
the time of his death (age 30 and death by hanging for treason), he had no
wife.
As a side note, Daviess county is named for Colonel Joseph
Hamilton Daviess, the lawyer who prosecuted Aaron Burr for treason.

I.
Thomas M. Aull; born in 1806 in Nelson county, Kentucky to James Aull and Mary
Andre; married circa 1835 in Platte county, Missouri
to Clarinda Fugate (born circa 1819 in Missouri to Benjamin Fugate and Phoebe; died after 1880 in
California); Thomas died April 24, 1873 in California.
Thomas is certainly a man of accomplishments, scilicet (from
notes compiled by William Patrick (Pat) Hartlage of Jeffersontown, Kentucky
(hartlagehistory@insightBB.com)
June 18, 2007):
-- 1806 to as late as 1835 Thomas is born, raised,
and living in Nelson county, Kentucky.
-- In the 1830s Thomas and his younger brother Aquilla
remove to Platte county, Missouri where Thomas marries and begins his family. Speculate
that James Aull and Mary Andre have died and Aquilla was too young (around
15) to be on his own.
-- In the 1840s Thomas attends Medical School at St.
Louis University, graduating in 1850. Aquilla leaves for California.
-- In 1850 Thomas and family are living in Atchison
county, Missouri. Enumerated in the 1850 census is a Margaret Hull born circa 1835
in Ohio – I wonder if that shouldn’t be Aull, and she is visiting
from the Dayton, Ohio Aulls.
-- In 1852 Thomas and family leave for California.
His daughter Mary F. is born along the way in the Utah Territory. They
settle in San Jocquin county.
-- From 1856-1857 Thomas serves in the California
Assembly.
-- In 1858 Thomas is again serving in the California
state assembly representing the 8th District
-- In the 1860s Thomas returns to being a physician in
San Jocquin county; his son James remains at home and is a farmer.
-- In the 1870s Thomas is living in Liberty, San
Jocquin county, California. He and his son James are farmers. Thomas dies
in 1873.
Thomas nails the family to the Aulls of Philadelphia. BUT no
solid facts connect him to Benjamin All of Nelson county, Kentucky..

1839 in Missouri; married; divorced

II.
Robert Pitt Aull; born February 27, 1812 in Nelson county, Kentucky to James
Aull and Mary Andre;
married January 4, 1838 in Daviess
county, Kentucky to Sarah E. Steele (born September 18, 1818 in
London, England to William Steele and
Ann Kinney; died June 23, 1851 in Daviess county, Kentucky).

Without Robert Pitt Aull, I would have concluded there were
two families with the same sounding surname who coincidently settled in
Nelson county, Kentucky at the same time – one family of Benjamin All and
the other of James Aull. Robert is both the salvation and vexation of the
search for Aquilla All’s ancestry.
Obviously the spelling of his surname as Aull
parallels him to the Philadelphia Aulls. The 1840 Daviess county census
spells his surname as All, which, if one believes that the surname
should have been spelled Aull, says that the early Kentucky government
officials spelled names as they sounded. And, therefore, it was not until
1850 that individuals could direct how their surnames could be spelled.
That his middle name is Pitt ties him to the All
family. Benjamin All married Sarah (Barton) Pitt November 7, 1778 in
Baltimore City county, Maryland. We know that Sarah’s sons by Josiah Pitt,
her first husband, came to Nelson county in the very early 1800s. And, in
fact, one of her sons was named Robert Pitt. Robert lived in Louisville but
kept ties with the Nelson county Alls. I must assume that our subject was
named for him. And, therefore, the Aulls of Philadelphia and Alls of
Maryland are related. I just don’t know how!
That Robert Pitt Aull removes to Daviess county, Kentucky
strongly ties him to Benjamin Aull (see Appendix F). EXCEPT that Robert
settles in Owensboro and Benjamin in Knottsville; Benjamin screams
Catholicism and Robert does not.

Robert’s and Sarah’s issue:
A. Albert S. Aull; born October 3,
1840 in Daviess county, Kentucky;
married June 17, 1864 in Ohio county, Kentucky to America E. Wallace
(born September
25, 1846 in Ohio county, Kentucky to William G. Wallace and Amanda Redding;
died November 2, 1923 in Logan county, Kentucky); Albert died July 1, 1926 in Logan
county, Kentucky; and is interred in Logan county, Kentucky.

From page 928 of
the History of Kentucky, published by Interstate Publishing Co. in
1883:
Albert S. Aull,
Esq., was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, October 5, 1840, and was reared to
manhood at that place. In 1861 he enlisted in the Fourth Kentucky Infantry,
remaining in that service eighteen months, and in 1863 located in Ohio
county, [Kentucky], where he now resides. His father, Robert P. Aull, a
native of Bardstown, was born in 1812; removed to Daviess county, [Kentucky]
in 1833, and died in 1871; he was the son of James Aull. Robert P. married
Sarah E., daughter of William and Ann (Kinney) Steele, of Owensboro, born in
London in 1818, and died in 1852. Their offspring are subject, Alcinda (Luckett),
and Henry. To him by a second marriage were born John A. and Belle
(Springfield). Squire Aull obtained a good common school education and is a
reading man. He was married June 17, 1864, to America, daughter of William
G. and Amanda (Redding) Wallace, of Ohio county, born September 25, 1846,
and to them have been born Thomas Henry, Eugene S., Ada L., Jennie L., and
Edna. Squire Aull engaged in merchandising for some years. He also served
as constable and postmaster, and is now magistrate and a member of the court
of claims. In politics he is a Republican. |

From a letter from Wilma D. Foster of Rockwall, Texas to the
author, written January 23, 1989:
I
cannot tell you how excited I was to receive your letter. I had just
returned from St. Louis, and had been trying to “shake loose” from my
cousins some of the Aull memorabilia that they inherited when family members
passed away, and which thy have absolutely no interest in. They also have
no interest in going through their attics for me.
I am the granddaughter of Jenny Lou Aull,
great-granddaughter of Albert S. Aull, gggranddaughter of Robert P. Aull.
He was the son of James Aull, and was born in Bardstown. This naturally led
me to the family of Benjamin All, and the James All listed with him in the
early Nelson county tax rolls. Now your letter has caused me to rethink all
that.
Grandma always said her family was from Pennsylvania, and my
aunt had a picture of our “rich Pennsylvania relatives” which was actually a
picture of a large house in Pittsburg surrounded by cameo-sized pictures of
the men in the family. Some years ago I copied the names that had been
written on the back:
James Aull, son of Wm. Aull m. Phoebe Ferris.
Wm. Ferris Aull
Chas. Herbert Aull
Pittsburg
Wm. Floyd Aull
James Ferris Aull
John Albert Aull
Chas. Elmer
Aull Pasadena, Cal.
William F or T Aull
Now I see by your letter that it was William Ferris Aull who
wrote the Aull and Martin Genealogy. Guess maybe my James Aull is the one
who went to Maryland with his
brother in 1808-10, and then settled in Bardstown.
The dates fit, too. Robert P. was born in 1812.
I have been going over and over my notes trying to find
something which might help you, something you don’t already have. You did
not mention any Delaware research, and I have found reference to a number of
Alls there, but no Aquilla.
Just looking over the Nelson county tax lists again, I am
reminded that from 1808 on James All is listed separately from Benjamin,
Thomas, and Aquilla. I always wondered why he moved away form his family.
…
I sent Wilma a copy of
The Aull and Martin
Genealogy
– on page 89 was the photograph of the grand house in Pittsburg that she had
remembered.
THUS, we have confirmed that there is a connection between
the Aulls of Nelson/Daviess county, Kentucky and the Aulls of Philadelphia.
HOWEVER, why didn’t any descendant state that Pennsylvania was the home of
their ancestors? They always list Maryland or Kentucky. AND, what is the
freaking connection between these Aulls and Benjamin All?! Again, I note
that these Aulls don’t name one son Benjamin.

5. Edna May Aull; born October 28, 1879
in Ohio county, Kentucky; married September 3, 1894
to Adolphus Johnston; Edna died in
Logan county, Kentucky; and is interred in Logan
County, Kentucky
B. James R. Aull; born circa 1844 in Daviess county, Kentucky; died
before 1883
C. Alcinda A. Aull; born circa 1845 in Daviess county, Kentucky; married March 4,
1862 in Daviess
County, Kentucky to Samuel
J. Luckett (first married (?))
D. Henry Clay Aull; born circa 1848 in Daviess county,
Kentucky; married October 11, 1869 in Daviess
County, Kentucky to Elizabeth Smithers

Side notes concerning Henry:
-- In his marriage application, his occupation is
millman. Aquilla All was a millwright and the Pitt boys, Sarah
(Barton) Pitt who marries Benjamin All in Maryland, were apprenticed to
millwrights in Maryland. Back in the 18th and 19th
centuries, males most often had the same occupation as their fathers. Was
Henry a legacy of that tendency?
-- Henry married in St. Stephens Catholic Church.
Again, Benjamin Aull of Appendix F and his progeny are hardcore Catholics.
This is the first hint of Catholicism in Robert Pitt Aull’s clan. BUT,
before I conclude that Robert Pitt Aull’s clan were also Catholics, I need
to research the Smithers – it may well have been Elizabeth who was Catholic.

(?); died November 20, 1860 in Sonoma county, California; and is interred in Oakmound Cemetery

Aquilla B. Aull’s name strengthens the probable relationship
between the Philadelphia Aulls and Benjamin All of Nelson county, Kentucky.
How? Lord if I know.
In 1840 Aquilla was living with his brother Thomas in Platte
county, Missouri.
It’s assumed Aquilla removed to California because of the
1849 Gold Rush. And, like the overwhelming majority of ‘49ers, did not
become wealthy. The following is from The Heald Family and the Town of
Healdsburg, by Hannah Clayborn as found on
http://www.ourhealdsburg.com/history/heald.htm (managed by Susan
Faught), last updated in 2003:
The website recounts the trials and tribulations of Harmon
Gregg Heald, born in Ohio and raised in Jackson county, Missouri, as the
founder of Healdsburg, California.
…
H. M. Wilson (mentioned previously) and A. B. Aull went into partnership
with Heald in the store. Aull was married to one of Sarah Smith Heald's
sisters.
In 1854 a post office was opened in Heald's Store, run as a
private enterprise with most letters costing 25 cents to post. …
The plot of land that Harmon Heald purchased at auction was
not the town site. He purchased 100 acres between the old Healdsburg slough
and Dry Creek for $200. In July of that year, however, he purchased 10 more
acres on the east side of the slough from his brother-in-law, Aquilla B.
Aull. In December he purchased another tract from another brother-in-law,
George T. Espy, 55 acres extending south to the current Mill Creek Road.
Both Aull and Espy had purchased their plots at the original land auctions,
and it is on these tracts that the town named "Healdsburg" was mapped and
recorded on March 5, 1857. …
Harmon Heald's only surviving child, George William Heald,
was only 4 years old at the time of his father's death
[December 17, 1858].
He was raised by his uncle, Thomas U. Smith, on Mark West Creek, and later
at a ranch near Ukiah. The makeup of the Smith household illustrates the
disturbing toll that disease took on these pioneer families. When "Billy"
Heald was 14 his uncle Thomas married a widow with two children of her own.
Later they took in two more orphans, a niece and a nephew, children of A. B.
Aull.
Observation – I believe that Aquilla’s progeny died without
issue. Note that his son George is afflicted. Aquilla’s brother was a
physician and living in California but did not assume responsibility for
Aquilla’s children when they were orphaned. |

Aquilla’s and Susan’s issue:
A. Laura Aull; born in April 1858 in
Sonoma county, California; died in 1940 in Sonoma county, California; and is interred in
Oakmound Cemetery in Sonoma county, California
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Because Laura is interred under her maiden name, I believe
she did not marry nor had issue.

From notes compiled by William Patrick (Pat) Hartlage of
Jeffersontown, Kentucky (hartlagehistory@insightBB.com)
June 18, 2007:
[George E. Aull] Resided in Guadalupe Precinct, Santa Barbara
Co., CA on 7 Jun 1880. He was in the 10-person household of John H. Rice, a
farmer. They were at dwelling 88, family 90, beginning at line 6. George
Aull (20) was a servant, working as a farm laborer. He was born in
California. He had attended school within the year, but was also listed as
being as "maimed, crippled, bedridden, otherwise disabled”.
