John Whitaker Jayne, the founder of Lone Tree, was born on 28 Jan 1820 in Deposit, Broome Co, NY, the son of Benaiah Jayne and Mary B. Whitaker.

He was the grandson of John Whitaker, for whom he was named and Catherine Weaver. When John Whitaker was just shy of his fifth birthday, he was one of the few survivors of the fatal Wyoming Valley (PA) Indian massacre of July 3, 1778, making their escape with great difficulty and suffering through the wilderness back to Orange County New York.

Mr. Jayne married Miss Deborah Early on 25 Sep 1841 in Scott, Wayne Co, PA. John and Deborah had one son, Whitaker Early Jayne on 25 Jun 1842. The young Mrs. Jayne, died two months later on 25 Aug 1842 in Scott, Wayne Co, PA.

He then married Miss Catherine Gardinier in Sep 1842, the daughter of Jacob A. Gardinier and Sarah Alexander South.

In 1854 he emigrated with his family to Iowa, first settling in Scott County and then in 1856 moving to Montpelier, Muscatine County, where they appeared in the State Census of 1856 and then to Fulton, Muscatine County, IA in the 1860 Federal Census.

John served his country in the War of the Rebellion, fighting bravely for the Union forces. He enlisted on 15 Aug 1861 as a Private in Co B, 8th Iowa Infantry in Muscatine Co, IA and was mustered in to service on 12 Sep 1861. He was promoted to Full Quarter Master Sergeant on 19 Oct 1861 and at his request was reduced back to the rank of Full Private on 01 Mar 1862. He was captured along with the entire unit at the battle of Shiloh, Hardin Co, TN (see Regimental History below). John received a disability discharge on 20 Jun 1862.

After his return from the service, he was elected clerk of courts in Muscatine County and served for six years. In 1870 he moved to Fremont, P.O. Palestine, Johnson County, IA and began farming. He purchased 1,200 acres in this area from his brother William H. Jayne. It was on this land that he platted the original town of Lone Tree. This part of town extended north from the school house to the railroad tracks and west from DeVoe Street. It was one of the few small towns of that time that was planned before it was platted.

Mr. Jayne had strong anti-liquor feelings. There was a stipulation in the original platting of Lone Tree that the buyer could never sell any intoxicating drinks on the property. It was further provided that, if on the new premises, the new owner or any of his heirs or assignees violated the contract, Mr. Jayne would bring action and recover the property. After Mr. Jayne's death, some property owners disregarded the original stipulation made by this Baptist pioneer.

John and Catherine had five children: David, Henry, William, Deborah and Sarah.

In 1889, John retired from farming. He was appointed postmaster of Lone Tree and served four years. He also was mayor for several years. After his term as postmaster, he took up the business of fire insurance. At the age of 86 he was the oldest insurance agent in Iowa. In the year of 1906, he wrote $375,000 worth of insurance. He successfully followed the insurance business until 23 Jul 1908, when he was injured by a runaway team and died from these injuries on 26 Jul 1908, aged 88 Years 05 Months 29 Days.

HISTORY OF MUSCATINE COUNTY, IOWA
Volume II, Biographical, 1911, page 92

... John Whitaker Jayne was born in Broome county, New York, and became a logger and rafter on the Delaware river, being thus employed until 1854, when he emigrated to Iowa and took up farming in Scott county, where he remained in 1854 and 1855. The following year he removed to Muscatine county, where he carried on agricultural pursuits until the opening year of the civil war. In response to the country's call for aid he enlisted in the Eighth Iowa Infantry and served in the battle of Shiloh, during which he was captured. Later in the summer , however, he was exchanged and, returning to his northern home, was elected to the office of clerk of Muscatine county, assuming his duties on the 1st of January, 1863, and serving in that capacity until 1869. He then began farming, also dealing in land and cattle, continuing in the conduct of a profitable business until 1896. In that year he took up his abode in Lone Tree, Iowa, where he conducted an insurance office until meeting an accidental death in July, 1908, when nearly eighty-nine years of age. In early manhood John W. Jayne had married Miss Catharine Gardinier, ... and was a daughter of Jacob A. Gardinier, one of the heroes of the Revolutionary war, ... He and his wife lived seven years beyond their golden wedding and reared a large family, which included Catharine Gardinier, who became the wife of John W. Jayne, her death occurring in 1897, when she was eighty-five years of age. Both Mr. and Mrs. Jayne were devout members of the Baptist church, and the integrity and fidelity of their lives won for them the high esteem of all whom they came in contact. Their family numbered five children: David, now living in Lone Tree, Iowa; Henry, of this review; William, who died at the age of twenty-seven years; Deborah, who died in infancy; and Sarah, the wife of Rev. A. C. Kelly, of Chicago.

REGIMENTAL HISTORY
EIGHTH INFANTRY IOWA

Source: THE UNION ARMY, VOL. 4

This regiment was organized in the latter part of the summer of 1861, and was mustered in Sept.

Soon after its organization it went to St. Louis, from which place it moved to Syracuse, where it joined Fremont's army in pursuit of Price's forces and operated in southwestern Missouri, losing heavily through sickness. It returned to
Sedalia in November and remained there until ordered to join Grant's forces in Tennessee the following spring.

The regiment participated in the battle of Shiloh, fighting 10 hours on the first day, repelling attack after attack, and, with the battery which it was supporting, inflicting terrible punishment upon the enemy. It was the last to leave the advanced line of the army, being surrounded as it attempted to withdraw and compelled to surrender. Out of 650 men engaged, it lost 64 killed, 100 wounded, and 47 missing. The 8th, 12th and 14th Ia. formed four-fifths of the little force that held back ten times its numbers at the close of the first day at Shiloh, giving Buell time to bring up his forces and snatch victory from defeat.

Entirely cut off, they fought until they could fight no longer, and threw down their arms only to see many of their number shot down in cold blood after they had surrendered as prisoners of war. The officers above the rank of lieutenant were sent to Selma, thence to Talladega, returned to Selma soon afterward, three months later to Atlanta, thence to Madison until Nov. 7, when they were sent to Libby prison, Richmond, and were paroled a week later at Aiken's landing. The lieutenants and enlisted men were sent to various prisons in Alabama and suffered the miseries and privations so common to southern prisons.

COPIES OF LETTERS WRITTEN BY B.G. JAYNE WHO DID SIGNIFICANT GENEOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON THE JAYNE FAMILY.


OFFICE OF
B. G. JAYNE
120 BROADWAY
NEW YORK, DEC. 21 1881


Charles Jayne, Esq.

My Dear Sir:

I herewith inclose copy of the records as I have them of your Great Great Grandfather-William Jayne-Your Great Grand Father Timothy Jayne and your Grandfather David Jayne.
You will see that Timothy Jayne was the second son of William Jayne while John Jayne was the fourth son. John Jayne was my grandfather-Ebenezer Jayne was the 6th or youngest son of William Jayne. Doctor David Jayne of Philadelphia was a son of Ebenezer Jayne-Your grandfather David Jayne, My father Benaiah Jayne and Dr. David Jayne were all first cousins. I was at your Grandfather's house in 1848 with my father and his family record as I give it to you was as he gave it to me at that time excepting those items taken from your letter and marked with a cross after each-If you can supply the day of the month, or month in any of the blanks pleas do so and give them to me. Can you not get the names of the wives and husbands of your grandfather's brothers and sisters and give them to me. Your Grandfather s youngest sister Mrs. Whil??? was living only a few years since at West Cayuta Schuyler Co M??, but I understand she has passed away (she died Nov 15, 1857). Your Great grandfather Timothy Jayne was one of six bothers. Five of whom held commissions in the Continental Army. He was a Captain and was captured at the Battle of Flat Bu??? Song Island with his entire company, and was held for over two years on a prison ship in N.Y Harbor with his bothers Isaac and Ebenezer who were Lieut. and Ensigns of his company. I am trying to trace all the descendants of William Jayne born in 1712 who bear his name and I want the cooperation of any who would like a copy of such record when completed.
If you will take the patience to do so, you can trace all of the descendants of Timothy Jayne. Please acknowledge the receipt of this and tell me if you will make the effort. Give me the names of any of the cousins of your father that may know and make the records I send you so complete as you can from any data missing in the forms. Can you not get the date of your Great Grandmother Sarah Allen Jaynes death. Your Grandfather must have had that and your father or your Aunt may know. Send me your fathers, your Uncle Timothy and your Uncle John's family records and the dates of the death of your Uncle John and your father's sisters.
You see the form I have adopted, I am getting the Record in the same way of all of the descendants of W. Jayne born 1712 as fast as I can gather these. Hoping to hear from you soon again. I am very truly

Your Cousin
B.G. Jayne

My Dear Sir:

Some time since I received a very interesting letter from you in which you promised to send me some data for the Record I am making up of the Jayne Family. I have not heard from you since. Please send me such data as you have at your command.
Your Grandfather had brothers Timothy, Ebenezer, and David. Tell me if you can if you know anything of those families and fill up the blanks so far as you can as your grandfather's family Record and send me your father's family record. I want to get the family record also of your Uncle's families
I am trying to get the records of the families of every one by the name of Jayne in the United States. They are all descendents from William Jayne Borne in 1712.
I propose to have the record printed when completed and I shall most cheerfully send you a copy. Will you aid me in getting the record of those in your locality?
I have the record of your Grandfather's brother John very complete.
I am very truly yours,

B.G. Jayne

PS

It looks like a large task I have laid out for you, but I am certain you will be interested in having the past relating to your own branch of the family come. You will see in the blank for your own family that I have put in pencil under the heading place of death your address. Please do this in filling the blanks. I want the P.O address of all. Now I shall be very much obliged to you if you will get these filled out as you can and return them. I am constantly urged to preserve in the record and complete by a member of the family.
With kindest regars to all who bear the name and hoping to hear from you soon I am

Very Truly Yours,

Charles Jayne, Esq.

My Dear Sir:

Thanks for the records in yours of the 18th. The Jayne Family was originally Presbyterians. Calvinistic puritans. Your Great Grandfather was a Baptist as were all of his brothers. Two of them being Baptist preachers of great ability and power. That part of Middle Smithfield Township where William Jayne settled in 1756 and where he and his sons resided is now "Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County. I have been there a number of times. The old homestead was occupied by Isaac Jayne, the son next younger than Timothy and after him by Peter Jayne, Isaac's young son. And since Peter's death by one of his sons. The old house has been burned in the last few months and with it the Old Bible with the Record in the handwriting of William Jayne. But there are several copies of the record existing.
My father's youngest sister, Aunt Affa Crawford, and by the way the last survivor of that generation (she died on the 14th of this month) says that her Aunt Sarah, your great grandmother died in 1819, but she couldn't give an accurate date. Of course I accept your dates in regard to your grandfather's family as authentic. I do not know now what my dates were taken from but know they were obtained at your grandfather's in 1848. Mrs. David Jayne had given me the name of Mrs. Emilla Smith as a daughter of Daniel Jayne and I had written her previous to receiving yours.
Bishop Janes was descended from William Jayne 1st of 1618. One of he (William Jayne's) sons was named James Jayne. Many of his descendents are sowed through R.I. Co??? and N.J. ??? spell the name the same as the Bishop, but all trace back to the same parent stock, the old puritan preacher. It may be a year before I print the Record, yet I hope to print it next fall.
I shall be glad to obtain any additional data you can furnish. It does seem strange that not of the Wyoming people can give any information in regard to the descendents of Ebenezer, Timothy, Daniel, Rebecca, or Sarah Jayne-brother and sister of your grand father.
I have often heard my father tell of his cousin Ebenezer Jayne who was a soldier with him in the War of 1812 and was wounded through the neck. The ball entering below one ear and coming out below the other cutting off the palate and seriously interfering with his speech. And how he was left on the field of battle for dead, and how he was saved by a French Surgeon when the others pronounced his wounds mortal. And I remember that he was living since my recollection and that my father met him. My recollection was that he met him in Philadelphia but I may be wrong in this for the mist of years has made my recollection dim. Your grandfather's brother Timothy lived in or near Pittsburgh Pa. My brother Wm. H. Jayne, now residing in Nebraska was for many years in the employ of Dr. David Jayne of Philadelphia. He was personally well acquainted with your grandfather's brother Timothy who had a son who was also employed by Doctor Jayne at the same time. He says Timothy Jayne died in December 1850-at or near Pittsburgh, and that Daniel was at that time living in the State of Indiana.
It does seem strange if the Cousins in Wyoming County have no knowledge of the families of these Uncles.
See what you can obtain from the son's of William and John Jayne in regard to these Uncle's families.
Edgar L. Jayne, David Jayne's son is now at my house. You may have known that he was with us for some time during his course in Cornell University in Ithaca. Hoping to hear from you again and that we shall meet at no distant day in the future.
I am very truly yours,
B.G. Jayne

In glancing this over it looks like a short curt letter, but is not so intended for I feel under many obligations to you for your kindness and am presuming in making further drafts upon you.

E. C. Jayne Esq.

Dear Cousin,

I have received two letters from John Jayne, a son of your Uncle Philip who resides at Woodsport from which I have compiled the in-closed record. I put in pencil the addresses so far as I have obtained them. I have written letters within the last two days to each one whose PO address I have and asked each to supply the addresses of the others. I have the partial Record of Corneulius D. and Ebenezer D. Mary D. had but one child-I have wrote for her Record.-Phillip-John and Mahlon three of your Uncle Philips sons are unmarried.
I wrote to Mrs. Jennings who answered promptly giving the Record of her mother's family. I received a letter also from your cousin Mary J. Bastedo (sp?) giving your Aunt Amia's (sp?) family record. I do not try to trace farther on this female line than to give those whose mother was a Jayne. That is I give place to the family record of your and my Aunts with their full family Record, but their children appear only in the Record of their mother's family. that is the Record will contain the families of those only where the father or mother born the name of Jayne.
Our Great Grandfather William Jayne left nine children, six sons and three daughters. The six sons left forty-six children who left families. Of these twenty-five were sons and twenty one were daughters. Eighteen of these twenty-six sons now traced have sixty sons who have families and there are a number of these sixty who have great grand children. You will see by this that the tribe of Jayne has become quite numerous. The peculiar feature of the family is the remarkable average longevity and uniform respectability. I am at present some what behind in my correspondence having been ill from a congestion of the lung. I have some business in Philadelphia next week and may drop in on you for a few moments.
I am very Truly Yours,
B.G. Jayne

E.C. Jayne Esq.
Dear Cousin,
Your very welcome letter of the second came duly for which receive my thanks. William Jayne I born at Bristol England Jan. 25, 1618. Died in Brook Haven on March 24, 1714. Came to American in 1678 at the age of 60. Married Anna Briggs in 1782 and by her raised seven sons: 1st William II born March 1684; 2nd Samuel; 3rd Matthias; 4th John; 5th Daniel; 6th James; 7th Stephen born in the year 1700. There may be some doubt about the order of birth of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th as I have not the dates of their births. William, Matthias, John and Stephen were free-holders in that town in 1737. Samuel and Daniel sold out on Long Island in 1726-Samuel to Stephen and Daniel to Matthias. William died in 1753, Samuel in 1765, Daniel in 1781, Janes in 1785, and Stephen in 1774. Of the dates of deaths of Matthias and John I have no record. William was a Cooper. Stephen a Blacksmith and all were Yeomen or landowners. William II from whom we are descended married Anna Sterling in 1709 and by her had four sons and a number of daughters.
William III our Great Grandfather born April 12, 1712 was the eldest. Samuel, born December 1713, Isaac, born November 1715, and Joseph, born 1727. Of the number or ages of the daughters I have no data. I remember my Grandfather telling me when a little boy of his Aunt Katurah Brewster who was his father's sister. He had an Aunt Anna also. William, our Great Grandfather left Long Island with his brother Samuel in 1753 and moved to Blooming Grove Orange County where your Grandfather, his youngest child, was born in 1754. All of his other children having been born on Long Island. Samuel settled at Florida Orange County where he died in 1779 leaving one son Samuel and an unmarried daughter Mary and a wife or widow "Dinah". In 1756 our GG father moved to what was then Middle Smithfield Northampton Co. Penn, now "Coolbaugh" Monroe Co. Pa. Isaac moved to Vermont and left five sons and one daughter at least, Anna who married her cousin, your and my Grandfather's brother Isaac. Joseph remained on Long Island. He married Abigail Strong by whom he raised ten daughters and four sons. The old Bible gives the dates of their births.
Returning to our Great Grandfather, in 1733 he married Tabitha Norton who was born at Brookhaven October 13, 1713. By her he raised six sons and three daughters. He died in 1798 at the age of 86, and she died in 1808 aged 95. Their children were:
1st William IV born in 1735, killed at the battle of Fort Washington November 16, 1776.
2nd Anna born in 1737. Married Benaiah Gustin and died in 1821.
3rd Tabitha born in 1739. Married Richard Horton and died in 1820
4th Captain Timothy born April 15, 1741. Married Sarah Allen and died January 20, 1790.
(Timothy was Captain and Isaac Lieut. of the Company of which your grandfather was Ensign).
5th "Betsey" (Elizabeth) born in 1743. Married Thomas Owen. Have no record.
6th Lieut. Isaac born November 26, 1746. Married Anna Jayne, died Jan. 12, 1809.
7th John born Dec. 25, 1748. Married Cornelia Decker, died April 25, 1838.
8th Elder David born May 14, 1751. Married Elizabeth DeWitt, died March 9, 1827.
9th Elder Ebenezer born Feb. 19, 1754. Married 1st Elizabeth Riggs 2nd Mary DeWitt, died March 27, 1826.
Of the families of these, William IV had one son born November 16, 1758 who was wounded at the assault on Fort Washington, a ball passing through his lungs. He died at the house of his Uncle Timothy a few weeks later. Uncle Timothy's son David told me he saw him die at his father's house. He also had two daughters, Anna and Tabitha, born 1756 and 1760. They married two brothers, Joseph and Chambers (sp?) Posinell (sp?) and each left large families. William left no descendents named Jayne. Anna, who married Benaiah Gustin, had no children. Tabitha who left two sons at least, died near the old home in Middle Smithfield. Richard Norton Jr. married Uncle Isaac Jayne's daughter Tabitha, while another brother married Uncle David's daughter Tabitha. She had many descendents. Captain Timothy Jayne left six sons and four daughters who raised families:
1st Anna Jayne born in 1764. Married David Ogdena nd by him raised four children. She then married Aaron VauHouten and died in 1838 at Ithica New York. Her descendents are very numerous.

Dear Cousin;

It is some time since I wrote you last since which time I have been busy in getting together such facts and data as I could in regard to the Jayne family and have accumulated and ???? a vast amount of data.
I want the family record of your Aunts excepting your Aunt Catharine whose family record I obtained from Mrs. Smith whose address you gave me. I enclose blank for your Aunt Julia, who if I recollect correctly, lives near you. Will you have the kindness to fill this out with your own family record and return to me. Shall I send the blanks to you for the balance of your Aunts and your undertake to get them tilled out or will you give me the address of some such member of each of their families from whom I would be most likely to get full and prompt answers. I also want the records of the families of your brother and sisters. Which I doubt not you can get for me, and I herewith enclose the blanks for that purpose.
I hope to get the record ready to print during the present year. I have had all the old records-Count, town and Church searched on Long Island and got the date of birth of all of the original seven brothers and the dates of their deaths except one and find he was living when nearly sixty. I have the hand writing of five of the seven. Can you tell me at what date your Grandfather moved from Northampton Co. into the Susq. Valley. Will you also give me the address of your cousins -- sons of your Uncle's Timothy and John. My plan is to put in all who bear the name Jayne and all whose mother was of that name. Have you a good picture of your father. I am collecting a number of photographs of the older members of the family.
Very truly yours,
B.G. Jayne

120 BROADWAY,
NEW YORK, AUGUST 31, 1883

David Jayne Esq.

My Dear Sir:

I ma in receipt of your letter of August 28th and improve the first moment to answer it. The first man to write his name "Jayne" was William Jayne, who was born at Bristol, England, Jan.. 2, 1618. His name was "de Jeanne" pronounced Dejan. He was a student in Oxford University and was expelled in 1640 as a dissenter. He became a Presbyterian preacher and a follower of Cromwell. In 1660 when Charles the Second was restored to the throne, the persecution of the followers of Cromwell became very severe, and William de Jeanne fled to Monmothshire on the border of Wales and took the name of Jayne to escape ecclesiastic persecution. In 1678 at the age of 60 years William Jayne came to America and settled in the town of Brockhaven, where he married, and raised one daughter and seven sons. His youngest son was born April 15, 1700 when he was 82 years of age. William Jayne died March 24, 1714 aged 96 years 1 month and 29 days. Five of his sons raised families, Viz: William II, John, Matthias, Samuel, and Stephen. I am decended from William II, who had four sons, William III, Samuel, Isaac and Joseph. William II, the eldest of these four sons, was my great grandfather. He had six sons, William III, Timothy, Isaac, John, David, and Ebenezer. My father Beniah was the second son of John, and I am the sixth and youngest son of Beniah, and have my father's name with an initial "C" which I suppose was give to avoid the Jr. dr. David Jayne, of Philadelphia, was the fifth son of Ebenezer Jayne, my great grandfather's youngest brother. The youngest son of the first William J Jayne married Mary Hawkins in 1726, and had five sons, Stephen, Robert, Micaiah, John, and James, and two daughters, Hannah and Susannah. Micaiah Jayne the third son of Stephen sold his place on Long Island and moved to Canada 1793-4. He had five sons and one daughter, John, Micaiah, Stephen, James and Joseph and Hannah who married a man named Spencer. As I understand, your grandfather, John Jayne was the eldest son of Micaiah Jayne, and had four sons and three daughters. Your father's cousin, John Jayne, of Cosport, wrote me that all of John Jayne's children were dead except one daughter, who would of course be your aunt.
You asked me to define our relationship. Our great grandfathers were first cousins, which would make us fourth cousins - but we get our name from one common ancestor, William Jayne. The family has a history and one that most of us on this side are somewhat proud of, and we deem it due to our ancestors to preserve the record in as good form as possible. I was urged for a number of years to undertake the work of writing a history and record of the family which I consented to do some two years since. Since that time I have been tracing the different branches of the family. I am anxious to make it as complete as Possible, so that every man bearing the name can know all that is to be known of his ancestry. I am geting ready responses from most who bear the name. I am anxious my book shall contain the name of every one who has borne the name, whether living or dead. I want the fullest data that can be obtained. Can you not obtain for me the following:
1st, -- The date of birth, marriage and death of your grandfather Jayne.
2nd, -- The maiden name in full of your grandmother, the wife of John Jayne with the date of her birth and the place and date of her death, and if possible the names of her father and mother.
3rd, -- The dates of birth of each of the seven children of John Jayne with the names of their husbands and wives with the dates of their marriage and the place and dates of their death.
4th, -- The names of the children of these sons and daughters with the dates of their births and dates of marriage and if dead the place and dates of death, if living their place of residence or Post Office address. I will be glad to send a copy of the history and record to you or anyone who will furnish this data. Of course I understand the duties that press on a man's time who works a farm and know that this is a busy season of the year, for I was raised on a farm, and all of my brothers are farmers. You ask my business. I am engaged to some extent in manufacturing. I was for about 12 years in the employ of the U.S. Government, studied law, graduated from the law school of Columbian College, but have given but little attention to the profession. Since leaving Govt. employ, I have been president of a Clock Co. until last year. I am engaged in part in placing Western properties in this and on English market, and give my leisure time to writing the family record. I am in possession of many old and interesting papers connected with the family, and have consented to undertake the task of the solicitation of many of the family, and from a feeling that someone should do it. I have visited the old church yard and copied the inscriptions from the tomb stones over the graves of William Jayne and Stephen Jayne who were great grandfather of John Jayne who was your grandfather. Living on the spot where William Jayne settled in 1678, which was over two hundred years ago, lives Capt. Micah Jayne, a second cousin of your father. Capt. Micah was born in 1796 and is past 87 years of age and is still hale and hearty, and like a true old fashioned gentleman as he is shaves himself every morning. May I not hope to hear from you soon, giving me such data as you can gather. Meantime my kind regards to all who bear the name.
I am,
Very Truly Yours,
B.G. Jayne

Notes:

Enlisted in Company B, Iowa 8th Infantry Regiment on 12 Sep 1861. Mustered out on 3 Jul 1862 at Davenport, Iowa.
Eighth Infantry -- Cols., Frederick Steele, James L. Geddes;
Lieut.Cols., James L. Geddes, John C. Ferguson; Majs., John C.
Ferguson, Joseph Andrews. This regiment was organized in the
latter part of the summer of 1861, and was mustered in Sept.
Soon after its organization it went to St. Louis, from which
place it moved to Syracuse, where it joined Fremont's army in
pursuit of Price's forces and operated in southwestern
Missouri, losing heavily through sickness. It returned to
Sedalia in November and remained there until ordered to join
Grant's forces in Tennessee the following spring. Col. Steele
was appointed brigadier-general and Lieut. Col. Geddes
succeeded to the command, Maj. Ferguson being commissioned
lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. Joseph Andrews of Co. F was made
major. The regiment participated in the battle of Shiloh,
fighting 10 hours on the first day, repelling attack after
attack, and, with the battery which it was supporting,
inflicting terrible punishment upon the enemy. It was the
last to leave the advanced line of the army, being surrounded
as it attempted to withdraw and compelled to surrender. Out
of 650 men engaged, it lost 64 killed, 100 wounded, and 47
missing. The 8th, 12th and 14th Ia. formed four-fifths of the
little force that held back ten times its numbers at the close
of the first day at Shiloh, giving Buell time to bring up his
forces and snatch victory from defeat. Entirely cut off, they
fought until they could fight no longer, and threw down their
arms only to see many of their number shot down in cold blood
after they had surrendered as prisoners of war. The officers
above the rank of lieutenant were sent to Selma, thence to
Talladega, returned to Selma soon afterward, three months
later to Atlanta, thence to Madison until Nov. 7, when they
were sent to Libby prison, Richmond, and were paroled a week
later at Aiken~s landing. The lieutenants and enlisted men
were sent to various prisons in Alabama and suffered the
miseries and privations so common to southern prisons. A few
of the 8th who escaped capture went into the "Union Brigade" a
consolidated regiment rather than a brigade, and took part in
the Tennessee and Mississippi campaigns, distinguishing itself
at Corinth. The regiment was reorganized at St. Louis early
in 1863 and made an expedition to Rolla, after which it joined
Grant's movement upon Vicksburg. It took part in the battle
of Jackson, participated in the assault at Vicksburg on May 22
and also in the siege. It accompanied the army to Jackson,
and after the evacuation there engaged in the pursuit of the
enemy. It then went into camp at Vicksburg where Lieut.-Col.
Ferguson died of disease. A short march to Brownsville was
the only movement of interest until early in November, when
the regiment moved to Memphis, thence to Lagrange and
Pocahontas, where it remained until ordered to Vicksburg to
take part in the Meridian raid. Soon after that event most of
the command reenlisted and visited Iowa on veteran furlough.
Returning to Memphis, it performed provost guard duty during
1864 and the early part of 1865, its most notable work being
the repulse of Forrest, who made an attack on the city Aug.
21, 1864, the regiment being assisted by the "Gray-beard"
regiment from Iowa. Early in March, 1865, the regiment moved
to New Orleans and proceeded to Mobile bay, where it took part
in the assault upon Spanish Fort and captured several hundred
prisoners. This assault was made by a brigade commanded by
Col. Geddes. Maj.Gen. Steele, the former colonel of the 8th,
won high praise for the manner in which he conducted his part
of the siege of Mobile, and Geddes' assault on Spanish Fort
was conceded to be the most brilliant performance of that
campaign. The regiment moved to Montgomery shortly after and
served until mustered out. The original strenght of the
regiment was 921; gain by recruits 106; total 1,027

Author: Progressive Men of Western Colorado: Chicago: A.W. Bowen & Co., 1905

Since 1889 Whitaker Jayne, of near Raven, Garfield county, has been an
industrious and progressive resident of Colorado, and during the whole of the
time has been devoted to the interest of the state and active in the promotion of its welfare. He is a native of Wayne county, Pennsylvania, born on June 25, 1842, and the son of John W. and Deborah (Early) Jayne, the father born in the state of New York and the mother in Pennsylvania. They began their domestic life in Pennsylvania in 1841. In 1854 they moved to Iowa, and when the Civil war began both father and son joined Company B, Eighth Iowa Infantry, in defense of the Union. The son served until discharged on account of disabilities incurred in the line of duty. At the battle of Shiloh the father was taken prisoner, but was soon afterward discharged through the Confederate lines because of his physical disability and weakness. The late years of his life have been devoted to the fire insurance business at Lone Tree, Iowa. Whitaker was the only child born in the family, and he and the father survive the mother, who died on August 25, 1842. She belonged to the Baptist church, as the father does now. He is also a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Republican party. The son attended the public schools at Muscatine, Iowa, and also an academy. He remained with his father, working in his interest, until he reached the age of twenty-one, then began farming for himself in Iowa. From 1854 to 1877 he lived in that state, then moved to Franklin county, Nebraska, but meeting with no sufficient success in his efforts there, transferred his energies to Sherman county, Kansas. In 1889 he came to Denver, and locating about seven miles northwest of Denver, began ranching and raising stock, which he continued in that neighborhood eleven years. In 1900 he came to his present location and settled on the ranch that he now owns and operates. It comprises one hundred and sixty acres, one hundred and fifteen of which can be cultivated, and raises good crops of hay, grain and vegetables. He also raises numbers of
cattle which form a profitable industry. Mr. Jayne was one of the original
incorporators and has been one of the main promoters of the eighteen-mile high line ditch, and is the present road overseer of his district. He belongs to the Grand Army of the Republic, and in politics gives his allegiance without stint to the policies and candidates of the Republican party. On February 25, 1864, he united in marriage with Miss Alice Budlong, a native of Oakland county, Michigan, the daughter of Milton S. and Guli A. (Alvord) Budlong, natives of New York state. Leaving their native state, they lived for a time in Michigan, then in Iowa. In June, 1854, they moved to Nebraska, and in 1872 returned to Iowa.

The father was a lawyer in active practice, and during the later years of their lives both were members of the Presbyterian church. The mother died on February 8, 1884, and the father on December 18, 1903. Their four children all survive them: Susan A., wife of Ferdinand Furst, of Adair, Iowa; Mrs. Jayne; Augustus, living at Salem, Oregon; and Cassius E., at Salem, Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Jayne have had eight children. A son named Ferdinand has died, and the seven living are: Julius E., at Camden, New Jersey; John W., at home; Mary A., wife of Ernest Douglas, at Sunnyside, Washington; Deborarh E., wife of J. Ernest, at Raven, Colorado; Milton R., at home; Gulie, wife of Edward Martin, at Toppenish, Washington; and Morton S., at home.
