    Biographical Information 1930  Rock Island, Rock Island, Illinois Find all individuals with events at this location 
    After the death of his wife and children in the New Haven River flood of 26 July 1830, John and his two surviving children emigrated to Rock Island, Illinois.  
     New Haven River Disaster of 1830
    New Haven River Disaster of 1830 (9)
    It was July 26th 1830, it had been a very wet season. Saturday afternoon it started raining unusually hard. It was still raining hard Sunday night. It was between ten and eleven o'clock when the residents of Haven Hollow, living closest to the stream first became alarmed. They began fighting to save what they could from the mills and other buildings that were threatened with immediate destruction. Still it wasn't time to panic. They had lived there for years, for some as many as thirty years. The water had never been a serious threat. This was unfortunate because had they realized they were witnessing what would become Vermont's worst flood of the 19th century they might have forgone the things and saved their lives.
