John W. Pellet was born 6 April 1815 at Pellettown, Frankford Township, Sussex County, New Jersey the son of Obadiah Pellet and Charlotte Westbrook and was the eighth child of fourteen children of this marriage. He was of the sixth generation of Pellets in America, a descendant of Thomas Pellet of Concord, Massachusetts and through his grandmother, Mary Bradford Pellet he was descended from William Bradford, a passenger on the Mayflower. Some researchers have indicated his middle name was Westbrook but there is no documentation for this and he had a brother Richard Westbrook Pellet. His middle name could have been William and named after his grandfather. John m. Sarah Ann Wyker born 1815 Sussex County, New Jersey the eldest child of Henry Wyker and Mary VanSickle. Her full date of birth has not been found. The date of their marriage is also unknown but probably in 1834 or 1835. John and Sarah were farmers residing at Pellettown in Sussex County. John was bequeathed a total of 336 acres of land in the Will of his father, appointed guardian of a niece and nephew, and was one of the three executors of his father’s Will dated 14 January 1846 to which was added a codicil 18 April 1848. His father died 12 May 1849 and was buried in the Beemer Meeting House Cemetery near Pellettown. John and Sarah had a son die in March and a daughter die in April of the same year who were buried beside their grandfather. Four years later another son died who was buried beside his brother and sister and John’s mother died 19 April 1854. Seven days after her death, John and Sarah sold their farm in Pellettown and removed with five children to central Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania where many Sussex County, New Jersey families had settled and in adjoining Columbia Township. In May 1854 they purchased 216 acres of land from William S. Ingals. John first appears on the 1855 assessment list with 60 improved acres, 155 unimproved acres, sawmill, house, 2 horses, 5 cows, 1 carriage, 1 pair oxen, and an additional 54 unimproved acres. In July 1857 they purchased 54 acres of land from John F. Gillette. The Pellet farm was located on the main road between Coryland and Mosherville and their dwelling house was on the west side of the road. Their daughter, Mary married in 1856 George W. Noble who resided on the Noble farm situated two farms south of the Pellet farm. The Pellet family perhaps attended the Presbyterian Church at Aspinwall (now Coryland) in Wells where their eldest son Bradford was buried who died in 1860 though there is no record of them becoming members of the church. On the 1860 census enumeration, real estate valued at $10,000 and a personal estate of $1,600, one of the highest evaluations in the township. In 1863 son Charles died and was buried beside his elder brother in Coryland Cemetery. In 1864 John and Sarah sold the 54 acres to Aranthus Hyatt and in 1865 they sold the farm of 216 acres to Daniel Dalrymple. They remained in Wells, residing on the farm they had sold. In 1869 the name of John W. Pellet appears on a list of names of those who contributed money to move the Presbyterian Church at the state line to French Mill’s (now Mosherville), John contributing $2. At this time the family perhaps attended the church, which had been removed to French Mill’s (now Mosherville) as it was in closer proximity to their residence. Daughter Charlotte Garrison died in 1869 at the age of 29 at their home in Wells Township. Of John and Sarah’s nine children, only daughters Mary and Alice, and son John were now living. On the 1870 census enumeration their son in law Foster Garrison was the head of household, John and Sarah and their daughter Alice residing with Foster and his three year old son George. John’s personal estate was valued at $120 their comfortable financial affairs having declined. Daughter, Alice died in 1873 and is buried in the Mosherville Cemetery. John and Sarah lost seven of their nine children in death, five of them before attaining adulthood. Son John and wife Mary purchased 50 acres in January 1874 from her parents. This was a farm in northern Wells township bordering the New York state line and was accessed from the town of Southport, Chemung County. The road to the farm led south from Bird Creek Road in Southport and there were a few farms on the road before reaching the state line and the road then crossed the state line and ended at the Pellet residence, which was near the state line. There were two houses on the property and the Davey family (son John Allen Pellet had married Mary Elizabeth Davey and it was her parents Norman and Jeannette who resided in the one house) while John and Sarah resided in the house with their son John and family. In 1882 Jeannette Davey died there from a ruptured varicose vein. Sarah Pellet also died there but her date of death has not survived. She was alive in 1880 (June 17) when she was enumerated in that year’s federal census, but when she died is unknown. Every possible record has been researched and many individuals contacted. The date of John Pellet’s death was recorded in a letter written by a granddaughter, Grace Pellet Whitney, who was in search of her Pellet ancestry and also in records of Frances Asenath Howell who recorded many of the Pellet descendants. Grace Pellet Whitney in a letter to John J. Stanton, a cousin and Pellet descendant, wrote "My father passed away June 24, 1912. My grandfather died July 3,1892. They with my mother and grandmother are buried in the Mosherville Cemetery, Wells, Bradford Co., PA. The infant daughter of my parents is also buried in the same plot. She was the second child, her name was Charlotte." John Pellet d. 3 July 1892 and is buried in the Mosherville Cemetery. No monument marks his grave or that of his wife, Sarah. Buried on the same lot is daughter, Alice and son, John A. Pellet and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Davey and their daughter, Charlotte who died in 1873. Only Alice and Charlotte have markers.

Charlotte Rebecca Pellet	Foster Garrison

Foster Garrison was born in Jackson township, Nov. 30, 1835. On a point of what is called Pumpkin Hill. At the age of 26 years he married Charlotte R. Pellet; but before a year had passed the excitement of war was so great that his heart could not withstand its yearnings, and loyal to his country he enlisted to its call for volunteers in September, 1862, in the 16th cavalry. He served there nearly three years; was engaged in several battles or skirmishes, and was a brave and true soldier. After his return home he embraced religion and united with the Baptist church of South Creek in 1868. In 1865 after his return from the service, he bought a farm in the township of Wells. Here with his wife he entered upon the duties of a farmer, tilling the soil and caring for his family, which consisted of his wife and two children, Ottie Carl and George E. There he lived a prosperous life until June 8, 1869 his wife died, and he was left to care for his children alone. This he could not do and in June 1870 he was again married to Melvina H. Queal of Wells. Three children were born to them, Herman D., Henry F., and Burke E. In 1881 he bought a farm in Sullivan known as the Hodge farm. He and his wife united with the Elk Run M. E. church, where they walked hand in hand in the Master's vineyard, toiling not for the riches of earth, but for the treasures of heaven. For twenty years or more he bore the heat and burden of farm life. He reared up his boys and saw them all married to good and noble wives. He was kind and devoted father, and his and noblest ef (portion missing). For a number of years Mr. Garrison worked under failing health and finally gave up farming entirely. In 1904 he left the farm and moved to Mansfield where he lived only a few months until he died Nov. 5, 1904. He joined the M. E. church in Mansfield by letter, and though not able to attend many of its means of grace, his heart and prayers were ever with the church he so much loved. He was an earnest, thoughtful christian man, ever loyal and true to the church he served for many years. His words of kindness and acts of love to pastors and their families, to neighbors and friends or any one whom he had an opportunity to help in any way, showed him to be a noble christian man. As his health failed he relied more and more upon the work Jesus Christ had done for him. His prayers were for the happiness of his loved ones, whom he knew he must soon leave. His last days were spent with his dear ones who tenderly cared for him, and when his last moments came, he passed quietly from earth to dwell with Christ. The funeral services were held at Jobs Corners and were conducted by Rev. D. Stoker, W. H. Yard, of Horseheads, and Rev. Paul Smith. His remains were laid to resit in the cemetery at that place (Mansfield Advertiser, Mansfield, Pennsylvania, August 30, 1905).
