Obit Muriel Virginia Maines Pease  - BROWNFIELD -- Muriel Virginia Maines Pease, of Brownfield and formerly of Westbrook, passed away at her home on Pease Lane on March 29, 2010.
Muriel was born in Portland, Sept. 8, 1931, the youngest daughter of Milo W. Maines and Alexandra Landry. She graduated from Westbrook High School in 1950 and married her childhood sweetheart, Henry Alton Pease. One of her earliest jobs was working for Priest's Store on Main Street. She was a Westbrook Police Matron and one of the first crossing guides, and actively involved in both the formation of Westbrook Rescue and as a volunteer.
Muriel worked for Westbrook School Department as a custodian and later as a bus driver, retiring when she and Henry moved to Brownfield. Muriel served on the Brownfield Planning Board and as a Town Selectman. She became a Dedimus Justice and notary public and happily officiated at many marriages.
Muriel was accomplished and dedicated in all that she undertook, both professionally and personally. She was a highly skilled bowler, basketball and horse shoe player. She enjoyed poetry and the music of Johnny Mathis, going to Boston in the early 60s to see him perform. Muriel spent many years happily living in the beautiful woods of Brownfield on her Blessing Acres farm, walking the land hand in hand with Henry. She cherished her time with family, gathering them together at the holidays. Cooking for days on end on her Queen Atlantic wood stove, Muriel put out a spread worthy of royalty. She had spunk, an intriguing sense of humor and a strong sense of fairness. Muriel was not afraid to speak her mind.
Loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she will be sorely missed by all.
Predeceased by her parents; her sister Mildred Gouzie, step- brother Eugene R. Mailly; and great-granddaughter Averi S. Parent, Muriel is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Henry A. Pease; children Charlotte M. Pease and husband Ronald Sbardella of Canterbury, Conn., Julie P. Galipeau and husband Maurice P. Galipeau of Westbrook, Laurie P. Jacques and husband Terry L. Anderson of West Baldwin; by grandchildren Heather L. Galipeau, Tiffany J. Parent and husband Kevin Parent, Kimberly R. Jacques, Henry A. R. J. Jacques; by great-grandchildren Karina, Evan, Rodney, Cara, Shayden and Cameron; by brother, Milo W. Maines Jr. and wife Blanche of Florida; brother-in-law, Wilfred Gouzie of Gloucester, Mass.; by nieces and nephews; by her sisters and brother of the heart; cousin Patricia Caron, Ruthie Pike, Frances McGlinchey and Robert Parker; and by her canine babies, Buck, Smokey and Bandit.
There will be no funeral. If you wish to honor Muriel's life, call someone and tell them you love them, read a poem or prayer aloud and send it out on the wind in celebration, or make a donation to your favorite charity.

The Pease name is common in Eastern England. One theory is that the name had its' foundation in the Latin language, and was originally written as Pise by the Italians. The family was also found in Germany in 972, where the spelling of the name was Pies or Pees. A coat of arms of the Saxon ancestors was granted during the reign of Otto II, Emperor of Germany from 972-981. The crest has an eagle's head crased, the beak holding a stalk of pea haulm. The family name motto is Optiome de Patria Meruit. Making their way into England, members of the family made the name conform to Anglo- Saxon as Pease about the year 1000. Other than the Great Baddow Pease family, the earliest English vital record found, was in Hull, England of John Pease marrying Jun 09, 1583, at Holy Trinity Church in Hull, Margaret Wilson.

The First Generation in America

 



1 Robert Pease, son of Robert and Margaret (King) Pease, one of the immigrant ancestors of the Pease family in America; bpt. Oct 28, 1589 in Great Baddow, county Essex, England; d. Oct 27, 1644 in Salem, MA; m. (1) Lydia, (possibly Lydia West). She probably died before he made the journey to America. This marriage to Lydia West is not proven, and is not mentioned in the early Pease genealogies. Robert's baptism is not recorded in St. Mary's. He came to New England in the ship Francis, John Cutting, master, sailing from Ipswich, England the last of Apr 1634. The ship landed at Boston, MA without the loss of a single passenger. Robert was accompanied by his brother John, his eldest son Robert, a Miss Clark, aged fifteen, who was the daughter of a fellow passenger, and a Miss Greene, aged fifteen, perhaps a servant. Robert Pease disappeared from records from the time he landed at Boston until three years later in Salem, MA, where in Jan 1637, he and his brother John had grants of land, Robert receiving ten acres. Margaret Pease, widow and mother of Robert and John, also emigrated to America, and died Sep 01, 1644 in Salem. In her will dated Sep 01, 1642, proved Jan 01, 1645, she mentions a grandchild, John, son of Robert. Children of Robert and Lydia Pease, born and baptized in Great Baddow, Essex, England:

1.1 Robert bpt. Apr 1630 d.
1.2 John bpt. Feb 11, 1632 d. Jul 08, 1689 Enfield, CT

Robert's second wife, Marie, whose possible maiden name was Rodans, and the other children arrived in New England on a later ship. Marie, which is French for Mary, may have been born in Great Baddow, and her parents were probably Protestant refugees from France. Robert Pease and Marie were admitted to the Salem Church Oct 01, 1643, and two weeks later, three of their children were baptized there. Marie, widow of Robert Pease was administratix, and the inventory of his estate was filed Aug 27, 1644. Children of Robert and Marie Pease baptized in Salem, MA:

1.3 Nathaniel b. 1634 d.
1.4 Sarah b. 1642 d.
1.5 Mary b. Aug 15,1643 d. ca. 1683 Salem, MA

There may have been another son of Robert and Lydia or Marie, Isaac Pease, born and baptized in England, who did not have a family.

After Robert Pease died, Marie m. (2) Richard Haines of Beverly, MA.

2 John Pease, son of Robert and Margaret (King) Pease, one of the immigrant ancestors of the Pease family in America; b. 1607 in Great Baddow, county Essex, England; bpt. Nov 20, 1608 in Saint Mary's Church, Great Baddow; d. between 1677 and Jun 03, 1689 in Edgartown, MA; m. Lucy. She was the daughter of Margaret, and step daughter of Margaret's second husband, Francis Weston, who d. Jun 05, 1645 in Dorchester, MA. Francis Weston was an early leader of the colony that came to America with the Winthrop fleet. He was a deputy of the court, and owned 125 acres of land "in the direction of West Peabody." Weston's religious beliefs along with Roger Williams, had them banished from Salem to Rhode Island on Mar 12, 1638, and on Mar 03, 1643, Francis was brought back, and confined to a jail in Dorchester for heresy. He died there after being confined for two years. Mrs. Margaret Weston, in Jun 1637, was sued with her husband by William Pester for defamation. She accused the pastors of the church of hypocrisy, and was in turn accused of disorderly carriage by the church. On Jun 05, 1638, she was sentenced by the General Court to be set in the bilboes, two hours in Boston, and two hours in Salem upon a lecture day. She was also a follower of Samuel Gorton, whose religious beliefs differed with those of the authorities, and was also banished to Rhode Island. She later became "of hopelessly unsound mind." John Pease came to America in 1634 on the ship Francis with his brother Robert. Margaret Weston's fanatic beliefs, and carrying on must have been too much for her son-in-law, as it appears he took matters into his own hands. A court record of Nov 03, 1635 in Essex County states: "Ordered that John Pease of Salem shall be whipt and bound to his good behaviour for striking his mother (in-law), Mrs. Weston and deryding of her for dyvers other misdemeanors and other evill carriage." In Jan 1637, Salem, John and Robert Pease were issued grants of land, John receiving twenty acres. On Jun 18, 1644, John Pease sold to Richard Ingersoll of Salem "one house and 75 acres of land adjoyning to the fearme wheron the said Richard dwelleth." After that date, he disappears completely from the Essex county and the Salem town records. The next appearance of his name occurs in the records of Edgartown, MA, under date of Mar 23, 1647, when he sold ten acres of land at Mattakeeset to Mister John Bland. On Martha's Vineyard, John owned a house lot of ten acres of upland and two acres of meadow at the north end of the town of Great Harbor. When the home lots were distributed, he drew the first in present day Edgartown at a place now known as Pease's Point, and a street to the south of this land is Pease Point Way. After the sale of his Mattakeeset property in 1647 to John Bland, he moved to Norwich, CT, where he purchased land that he retained until his death, bequeathing it to John Junior. His home lot was bequeathed to son Thomas. John Senior returned to the island before Mar 05, 1653 when he was involved in a land suit. On Nov 07, 1653, he was elected constable, and served on a jury Sep 25, 1677. His will is dated Mar 04, 1674. Excerpts: "...me John Peas, husbandman and inhabitant uppon Martins Vineyard...being now in some measure in good health...am stricken in years and Crasy in respect of what formerly ... give to my Eldest Son James Peas twelve pence...my second son John Peas...all that was given to me at Mohegin, with that frame of a house...(to the rest of the children)...all my landes and houseing that I have upon this land Martins Vineyard to be either equally devided or valued or sold or exchanged and the price thereof Equally devided to everyone of them...my now living wife Mary shall see meet whome I make my full and whole Executrix... and I give unto Mary Peas my wife all my cattle of every sort with all my household goodes whatsoever... in witness hereunto my hand and seal. " The will was witnessed by Thomas Birchard, Kathrin Birchard, and Thomas Trappe. Children of John and Lucy (Weston) Pease born in Salem, MA:

Nov 27, 1653 at the home of his friend, Robert Scott, in Boston, MA, and Mary Collier; b. about 1615; d. 1672 in Edgartown. Malachai was the owner of a large book shop in Boston.

2.8 Rebecca b. 1659 d.
2.9 Sarah b. 1661 d.
2.10 Jonathan b. 1670 d.

Mary (Browning) Pease m. (2) Jun 03, 1689, as his second wife, Thomas Creber; d. 1695. On the day of her marriage, Mary disposed of her interests in the estate of John Pease, and moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Thomas was master of the ketch John and Mary, engaged in the coastwise trade.

Note: There is a traditional story with variations of John Pease as follows: About seven to ten years before the 1641 purchase of the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket by Thomas Mayhew of Watertown, MA, a vessel from England on the way to Carolina landed on the island. (Another account was that the boat was headed for Port Penn in the Delaware). The boat anchored at what is now known as Starbuck's Neck near the present site of Edgartown. John Pease, a passenger of the vessel, was in the British Military, and was wearing his uniform which consisted of the traditional red coat. A band of Indians greeted the landing party, and Pease, as a sign of peace, offered the Chief, his coat. The Sachem was so grateful, he offered the new arrivals, a large section of land which now includes Edgartown. While the rest of the passengers continued south, John Pease, William Vinson, Thomas Trapp and Malachi Browning decided to settle on Martha's Vineyard, and built caves for the first winter in a place called Green Hollow. As the settlement grew, and more settlers arrived, John Pease kept all transactions, including the original gift of the land in a book, known as the "Black Book" because of the color of it's cover. When John died, two men went into his house, and stole the book, never to be seen again. The present day town records of Edgartown in preserved books contain dates before the record keeper transcribed them. It is supposed that some of these events were copied from the "Black Book" before it was destroyed. Without the records in the book, the Pease family lost the titles to their land. In 1853, George Cleveland, a farmer was tilling his land, and came upon the ruins of three separate underground rooms that were large enough for living quarters. The ruins were a short distance from the center of Edgartown, and near a road which is now called Pease's Point Way. These sites were supposedly the caves that those mentioned above spent the first winter in. The legend can almost certainly be proven not true because of the dates of the "landing party". Port Penn did not come into existence until after 1682; the early Pease family did not dispute any land claims with any other settler of the island; John Pease himself was in Salem from 1634 until at least 1644, although he may have visited the island after settling in Salem; and there is no evidence that he was in the British military. The earliest settlers of most areas probably did spend at least their first few months in caves or crude shelters, as building lumber was not an available commodity (see John Pease 1.2.1). There were pageants on Martha's Vineyard with scenes of early settler stories put on display by contemporary actors. The "Red Coat" story was one of more popular acts.

2.2 John Pease; b. 1639. He settled in Norwich, on his home lot, which was at the western limit of the town plot, bearing the date Nov 1659. He was somewhat of a loner as found in the court record for 1672: "John Pease complained of by the townsmen of Norwich for living alone, for idleness, and not duly attending the worship of God. The court orders that townsemen do provide that Pease be entertained into some suitable family. He paying for his board and accommodation and he employ himself in some lawful calling. Which if he reject or refuse to do, the townsemen may put him out to service in some approved family except he dispose of his accommodations and remove out of town." John Pease was still living in Norwich in 1682, where he was found in arrears for town and ministry rates, and a levy was ordered on his estate.

 

 

Children of John and Mary (Browning) Pease born in Edgartown, Massachusetts:

 



2.4 David Pease; b. about 1651. His wife's name is unknown, and only one known child was born in Edgartown, Massachusetts:

2.4.1 Benjamin b. 1676 d. 1747 Edgartown, MA

2.6 Samuel Pease; b. about 1655; d. either Oct 12, 1689 in Newport, RI, or Jul 23, 1706 in NH. There are two different sagas about Samuel Pease, the first being, that he was believed to be the commander of the sloop of war Mary, fitted out by the Massachusetts Colony in 1689 to protect the coast from the attacks of French pirates. The sloop was fitted with a barrel of powder, fifty pounds of small shot, and twelve guns. A twenty man all volunteer crew was under Captain Pease's command. On Oct 04, 1689, they were engaged in battle with one of three pirate vessels near Tarpaulin Cove and during the encounter, Captain Pease was "shott in severall places". He defeated the enemy, capturing vessel and crew, but his wounds were of such serious character that he was taken to Newport, RI, for treatment and "did grievously languish" until his death, and his remains are buried there. Various records concerning the affair are extant showing that he "left a widow and foure orphans in a poore and low condition," for whom collections were taken up in churches throughout the Colony. The pirates, Thomas Pound, Thomas Johnson, Eleazer Buck, John Sickterdam, William Dun, Richard Griffin, Edwarde Browne, Daniel Lunder, William Warren, and Samuel Watts were all charged with shooting Samuel Pease. Edward Browne was acquitted, the rest were found guilty, and hung. The name of Samuel's wife and records of birth of his children are non existent. If this is the true biography of Samuel Pease [2.6], his first son may be the Samuel in the second biography, but he would be too young to be on the jury in 1694. If Samuel Jr. was baptized in 1679 at an age of three or four, he could have been the Samuel in "Record #2". Not knowing the exact birth date of Nathaniel Pease [2.6.6], and not having any information on Samuel [2.6.1] only adds to the puzzle.

The other record of Samuel, is that he went to Exeter, NH, and was killed by the Indians Jul 23, 1706. A Samuel Pease was on a coroner's jury in Exeter in 1694, and on trial in Portsmouth, NH in 1695. On Jul 23, 1706, twenty Indians fell on ten Exeter men as they were mowing in a field between Exeter and the Lamphril River. Samuel Pease was among the white men killed. The administration of his estate went to Richard Hilton of Exeter on Nov 05, 1706, and his widow had a grant from the town on Feb 04, 1698, of fifty acres of land which was laid out on Oct 28, 1700 at Piscassic (Newfields) NH. The name of this Samuel's wife, may have been Elizabeth, and she remarried after his death, Jan 22, 1707 to Samuel Smith of Hampton, NH, whose grandfather, Samuel Smith, came from Martha's Vineyard.

Apr 26, 1879 of senile dibility in Edgartown. She was the daughter of Deacon Jonathan Worth, of the Congregational Church; b. 1755; d. May 31, 1817, and his first wife, Sarah Mayhew; b. Dec 09, 1758; d. Sep 01, 1797. Eliza's half sister Velina, was the wife of Frederick Baylie's Jr, the architect and designer of three churches in Edgartown. Jonathan's nephew, William Jenkins Worth; d. May 23, 1849 in San Antonio, Texas, fought in the Seminole Indian War in Florida, and the Mexican War of 1846. Forth Worth, Texas was named after him. Jeremiah Pease was a US Custom's officer, surveyor, bone setter, lighthouse keeper, cordwainer, and farmer. His carpenter shop employed a few apprentices, and out back, he kept a large garden which was tended to with great care. Many of the islanders benefited by his talent for setting broken limbs, and were also rewarded when they learned the service had no charge. His own wife Eliza, was a patient, after she fell on the ice Feb 14, 1852, breaking her arm, and dislocating her wrist. In 1817, Jeremiah was appointed as deputy customs inspector in Edgartown, which meant boarding at least one vessel a day as it arrived in the harbor, taking inventory, and collecting the tariffs. His title gave him the power to make arrests of smugglers, and put down mutinies on board the ships in Edgartown waters. On one occasion, he arrested seven men from the ships Boston and Thomas of Nantucket. In 1827, president John Quincy Adams made law prohibiting foreign vessels from anchoring within three miles of the US coast without prior notification. Deputy Pease seized the British ship Caledonia for violating the ruling, and a fracas developed when collector Thomas Cooke boarded the ship to remove her flags. Other not so dangerous duties included the maintenance of the island lighthouses. He was the first keeper of the lighthouse at the entrance to Edgartown harbor, being appointed Oct 10, 1828. His diary entry for Oct 15: "Wind NW Received the oil etc., for the lighthouse from the sloop Henry of New Bedford. Captain (John) Akin lighted the lamps for the first time." Jeremiah Pease was raised as a Congregationalist, the religion of his mentor, parson Joseph Thaxter, but later converted to the Methodist Religion. He was instrumental in establishing the Wesleyan Grove Camp Meeting near Squash Meadow Pond, and became the tent master and chorister. Much of the local history of the island, was learned from a diary he kept from 1819 up to the time of his death. Each entry was preceded with a weather account including wind speed and direction.

Pease was apprenticed as a carpenter, became a lawyer; founded and was president of the Martha's Vineyard National Bank, and served as a probate judge. After James Polk became the president of the US, the democrats of Edgartown, who had campaigned for Joseph, were rewarded, when in 1845 he was appointed as a Customs Collector. One of his first duties was to move the West Chop Lighthouse and it's keeper's dwelling because of erosion of the point. He appointed his father, Jeremiah, to survey the job. During his term as collector, he was responsible for: issuing passports to those visiting foreign countries, inspection of immigrant carrying vessels for over-crowding and unsanitary conditions, issuing permanent registers to the Vineyard's whaling vessels, collecting taxes on mariners to assure them of hospital care if needed, and filing reports on ship disasters in his district (108 occurred during his four year term). His house was built at 67 North Water Street in 1849. Children of Joseph Thaxter and Sophronia Cottle (Norton) Pease born in Edgartown, MA:

2.4.1.14.1.7.2 William Cooke Pease; b. Oct 09, 1820; d. Dec 30, 1865 in Charlestown, South Carolina; bur. Jan 14, 1866 in the West Side Cemetery in Edgartown; m. Aug 22, 1842 in Edgartown, Serena Pease [2.4.1.6.2.5.5.1]. She was the daughter of Valentine Jr. and Prudence (Ripley) Pease. William Pease joined the US Revenue Marine Service in 1839. He was commissioned as a Third Lieutenant, promoted to Second Lieutenant in 1843, and First Lt. in 1850, while stationed in St. Mary's Georgia on the Crawford. He and Serena rented an apartment in the Captain Edwin Coffin House on North Water Street, until 1849, when they bought their own home, the third house up from the bank on South Water Street. When he became a first Lieutenant, he bought the house that architect Frederick Baylies Jr. had built for himself on Main Street, on the sight that became Edgartown Market. (The house was moved to Starbuck Neck Road in 1922.) From letters to his brother, Joseph, it was learned that along with other officers, Lt. Pease was not too fond of the uniforms assigned to the Revenue Service. He went as far as permanently removing some of the many buttons from the uniform jacket, shifting the blame to incompetent cleaning services. While at a lay over at a hotel in New York City, 1843, he wrote to his brother, " One would laugh to see me with cocked hat and sword on." He was promoted to Captain in 1854, and involved in a rescue effort of the wreck of the Revenue Cutter Hamilton. He commanded cutters on many Atlantic ports, supervised the building of six cutters on the Great Lakes, lost one in a hurricane in the Key West, and sailed two cutters from New York to the Pacific, via the Horn. In 1854, Captain Pease was given command of the Jefferson Davis, spent time on the Pacific Coast in the Washington Territory, and returned to the east in 1861. Because of his time in Charlestown, where he made many friends, Captain Pease was falsely accused of being a Southerner, and plotting with Confederate privateers on the Pacific. President Lincoln exonerated him in Apr 1863, and assigned the captain to Newport, Rhode Island, in command of the Kewanee convoying vessels from Savannah, Georgia to NY. Pease was well liked in the west as much as the south. In a letter signed by 48 San Francisco Merchants, to the Honorable Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, when they heard of the intention of a US Revenue Cutter being sent to their port city: "the undersigned merchants ..respectfully request that Captain William C. Pease be placed in command of the vessel designed for the protection of Commerce at this port, having full faith in the capabilities of Captain Pease as an Officer and Seaman.." A similar petition was drafted by 52 San Francisco lawyers, who commended him for his "zeal and promptitude in the preservation of lives and property. The British consul wrote that Captain Pease had subdued mutinies in Benicia, Peru, and the rescue of the crew of the Panama schooner Eliza Kniper totally wrecked at Halfmoon Bay. Captain William C Pease died from typhoid fever in Charlestown on a return voyage from the west. His body laid in state on the Revenue Cutter Kewanee, and was brought to New Bedford, MA. There, his remains were transferred to the Miami and returned to his home in Edgartown. On Jan 14, 1866, a funeral service was held at the Seaman's Chapel on Church Street, with many of his friends from that town and South Carolina attending. It was a clear cold day, and the late captain received a nine minute gun salute from the crews of the Miami and the James C. Dobbin anchored offshore.

A sudden storm threatened the crew, and despite objections from the first mate of the Clarice, William led what was predicted to be a doomed rescue effort. He found the overturned whale boat with the crew clinging desperately to it's sides. All were saved, but the boat was dashed to pieces against the side of the bark in the heavy seas on her return.

Around b1840 or 45 was a PEASE in Montana, he was from New York and an agent on thje CROW reservation. This is info. that comes from an old book callred ( I think) "On The Yellowstone"
 



Children of Edward (William Crawford, John Harper, John Harper, Malatiah, Malatiah, Benjamin, David, John) and Elizabeth (Bailey) Pease:

2.4.1.6.2.1.4.5.1.1 Edna Pease; m. Randall Pratt, and lived in Portland, Oregon.

2.4.1.6.2.1.4.5.1.2.1 Wilma b. d.
2.4.1.6.2.1.4.5.1.2.2 Edward b. d.

Most likely it's this guy:
2.4.1.6.7.1.4.8 David Fellows OR Fellows David, son of Oliver Perry (Oliver, possible son of Barzillai, Malatiah, Benjamin, David, John) and Huldah (Bowen) Pease; b. Mar 16, 1834, Tioga County, PA; d. Oct 20, 1920 from internal injuries sustained in an auto accident in Medford, OR where he was visiting relatives; bur. Absarokee, Montana; m. Mar 1859 near Berthold, ND, to Margaret Wallace, a half breed Crow; b. Apr 10, 1836 in Crow Reservation, MT; d. Jan 10, 1902; bur. Mount View Cemetery, Billings, MT. There are a few stories about Margaret. She may have been the adopted daughter of John Wallace, a noted French Crow warrior. He married Margaret’s older sister, who raised Margaret. She also may have been the wife of Mitch Bouyer an Indian Scout who died with Custer. Margaret left Mitch and three children before his death to marry Fellows. Margaret’s mother drowned at “Old Rabbit Crossing” on the Big Horn River near Fort Smith, MT. David (east of the Mississippi known as David Fellows; west as Fellows David) grew up in Steuben County, NY, and at age 18 headed west to Chicago, Illinois. From there, he traveled down the old canal to Joliet, took the train to Rock Island, and joined a party of pioneers at the Mississippi River heading to Wisconsin. In that state, David worked in the forests as a surveyor. He fixed the boundary line between Minnesota and Iowa, and worked with the Sioux Indians in the lumber business. His next endeavor was merchandising on the Missouri River, as a member of the “Little Opposition” Firm, doing business along the river from Fort Benton to Fort Sully. The firm joined the Northwest Fur Company, and traded with the Indians. After the transfer of the company to Peck & Durfee, Major Pease as he was known left the business to join a company that supplied horses from Utah and Colorado to the government. In 1860, Pease traveled back to Pennsylvania to cast his vote for Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election. In 1870, he was appointed as the first civil agent for the Crow Indians, with his agency set up at the mouth of the Mission Creek, on the south side of the Yellowstone River. In the spring of 1875, Major Pease, Paul McCormick, and Z. H. Daniels made plans to form a colony and did so, establishing it with about 50 on Pease’s Bottom, on the Yellowstone. McCormick and Daniels took care of the colony, while Pease went back East to purchase supplies, a trip that lasted throughout the winter of 1875-76. While he was gone, the attack on Custer had occurred along with an attack on the newly formed Fort Pease. The colonists abandoned the fort. When Pease returned, he sold the supplies to other posts, and took up mining in Park County, before being appointed as agent of the Crow Indians at Fort Parker. Some of the Crow Indians wanted to ally themselves with the Sioux, who were always at war with the white man during this time. Blackfoot, chief of the Crows, his wife, a daughter of Sioux Chief Crazy Horse, persuaded the Crow to stay with the whites, preventing future conflicts, and establishing a peaceful coexistence. Major Pease was instrumental in this effort, and he was made an honorary member of the Crow Tribe, May 1920. He was made a Mason by special dispensation at Knoxville, PA in 1868, and affiliated with the Livingston Lodge No. 32, with the Scottish Rite Bodies and Algeria Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Helena, Montana.
