Note: Elizabeth AWL was born in Lancaster (now Dauphin) County, PA in 1761. She married John ELDER, Jr. in 1778. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jacob AWL and Sarah STURGEON. Jacob was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1727. He served during the Revolutionary War, and also during the Fronteir Wars, taking part in the Battle of Bushy Run. He was one of the five commissioners who laid out the town of Harrisburg. He was a relative of John HARRIS for whom Harrisburg is named.

Note: resides at Harrisburg ; at the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 served in the three months' service as adjutant of the 11th regt. P. V.; in 1862 raised for the nine months' service company A of the 127th regt., P. V., and participated in the Fredericksburg campaign; in 1864 he assisted in organizing the 201st regt, P. V., of which he was commissioned colonel and served in that capacity until mustered out at the close of the war; he was a clerk in the Harrisburg National Bank prior to the war; subsequently cashier of the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., in New York , for a period of seven years; was a trustee for twelve years of the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital, and secretary of the Board; and from 1891 to 1895 deputy superintendent of banking. Col. Awl , m. June 5, 1872 , Mary Elizabeth Thompson

Note: Jacob Awl , b. August 6, 1727 , in the north of Ireland ; d. September 26, 1793 , in Paxtang township, Dauphin county, Pa. The name should properly be spelled Auld , and the first settler wrote it Aul , which the descendants have changed into Awl. He learned the trade of a tanner. Was a man of means when he came to America , and settled, at an early date, in Paxtang , near his relative, John Harris , of Harris' Ferry , where he took up a large tract of land, which he improved, erected a tannery, and on which he lived to the time of his death. He became a prominent personage in Paxtang , was an ensign and lieutenant in Colonel John Elder 's battalion of rangers in the frontier wars from 1756 to 1764 , and at the outset of the war for independence, aided, by his counsel and his purse, in organizing the associated battalions of Lancaster county , which did such effective service in the Revolution. When the new county of Dauphin was erected, Mr. Awl was appointed one of the commissioners in the act relating thereto, and John Harris afterwards appointed him one of the trustees or commissioners for the public grounds ceded by him, at the laying out of the town of Harrisburg , for public uses. He was a representative man, influential and potential in the county, yet preferred domestic retirement to the struggle for office, and when he was offered the nomination for representative in the General Assembly , he positively declined. Over his grave, in the burial ground of old Paxtang church, is a stone with this inscription:
Sacred to the memory of Jacob Awl
Who departed this life Sept. 26th 1793 Aged 66 years 1 month and 20 Days This stone is placed over his remains by his relict and children as a testimony of their Regard for his many virtues.
Is he perhaps your Guardian Angel still O widow, children, live as you would obey his will So shall you join him on that happy shore Where death or grief will visit you no more.
Jacob Awl m., July 26, 1759 , by Rev. John Elder , Sarah Sturgeon ; b. September 1, 1739 ; d. June, 1809 , in Paxtang , and with her husband there buried. She was the daughter of Jeremiah Sturgeon , one of the first settlers.

Slave Surname, if known:
Slave Given Name: Jo or Joe
Slave Sex: Male
Slave Age (Years): 28
Date of Registry or Record: 10/5/1780
Slave Memo: Registered in Lancaster as a "Negroe Man" with note: "runaway sometime ago." Awl believed that Joe had run off to join Howe's Army, then encamped in Philadelphia. He apparently never recovered him. (Source The Pennsylvania Packet, December 17, 1777) Text of runaway ad:

December 6, 1777. TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Paxton Township, Lancaster County, on the 4th of this inst. a Negro man named JOE, about twenty five years old, a thick well set fellow, speaks the English and German tongues well; had on when he went away, an orange coloured coat, a lead coloured jacket, a coarse shirt, and leather breeches. He took with him a black MARE, big with foal, about six years old, a natural trotter and carries herself well, and has no brand: It is supposed that he intends to go to Howe's army. Whoever takes up said Negro and Mare, shall receive the above Reward, or for any one of them, secured so that the owner gets them again, the one half of the above Reward, and reasonable charges, paid by JACOB AWL

This is a fascinating advertisement. His owner, Jacob Awl, believes that he has set out for Philadelphia to join the British army who were in winter quarters there. Awl had not recovered Joe by 1780, when he registered him as a slave, but with the note "run away some time ago." It is highly doubtful that Awl ever recovered Joe. Perhaps this slave made it to Howe's Army and fought on the British side in the Revolutionary War as did many escaped slaves.
Status: Runaway.
