March 10, 1S80. Mr. Resseguie left Ridgefield. Conn., his native place, and settled first in Susquehanna County, Pa , and afterward in Kenosha, Wis. From the History of Kenosha County, the following extract is" taken: "On the 7th of July, 1S35, Mr. Samuel Resseguie arrived in Kenosha, and. to use a squatter's phrase, "jumped the island." Mr. Resseguie brought with him a Mr. John Xoble and a number of brothers by the FO UR TH G EX ERA TION. 65 name of Woodhridge, and others, and he accordingly had quite a formidable force to sustain him in holding possession. This cir- cumstance occasioned the first dispute about the right of prop- erty that had occurred at this place ; but the dispute, which at one time threatened to cause some disturbance, was finally ami- cably settled, and Mr. Resseguie retained a portion of the island, either bv purchase or some other compromise. After camping on the island for about two weeks, Mr. Resseguie commenced the erection of a log house, and shortly after completing it opened it as a tavern. Although this humble public house was not equal to the Grant House, it served its purpose well. But few men knew how to cater to the appetites of their guests better than Resseguie : his table was provisioned with the best wild game the surrounding country could furnish, and the economy with which he was accustomed to stow away his numerous guests in a given area in his little garret was truly astonishing. His success was so unexpectedly gieat in the line of tavern-keeping that he concluded to enlarge his business ; accordingly, in the following month, he opened a store in an adjoining cabin, under the firm name of Resseguie & Xoble." He subsequently emigrated to California, settled in San Fran- cisco, and at the time of his death owned the premises known as Xo. 4 Wetmore Place. By his will his property was divided , equally between his wife and his daughter, Eleanor Edwards. Mrs. Resseguie died at the house in Wetmore Place, leaving a will, by which her house and furniture was devised to her grand- daughter, Mrs. Anna R. Smith, of Glen Rock, Nevada, and the residue of the estate to Mrs. Smith's daughter, Eleanor Galvin. CHILD. {Fifth Generation.) 437. I. Eleanor, b. about 1S25; d. July 24., 1S62; m.
