449 Samuel Mackerness, b. Dec. 29, 1815, d. 1875. A Virginia of the old school, who visited much among his relatives in the old state, and kept up always the sympathies, customs and dialect of that region. He was a cripple, and a man of eccentric character. He was an extensive contributor to this Genealogy, and had he lived to see its completion, on one could have taken so much interest in it as he.

After the death of his father, Gaines being the oldest son at home, stayed with his mother and kept the family together till after her death in 1802. They moved from Virginia in the spring of 1805, and settled on the east bank of the Little Miami River, opposite the town of Waynesville, O., Burwell, John and Henry accompanied him, and they were six weeks in making the trip. They pitched their tents of cloth in the woods, and in them they lived till they cleared a patch of ground for corn which they did not get planted till the 21st of June. After this they put up a house of unhewn logs in which they lived, then put up another of hewn logs, into which Philip and family moved on their arrival, the fall of the same year; Samuel and family came at the same time. He lived in the house of hewn logs until he was quite advanced in years, when he erected a brick house in which he died.

Burwell Goode removed at the age of 20 to Ohio, in company with his brothers, and settled with them at Waynesville, where he lived until his death, upon a portion of the original tract already referred to. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, serving for more than thirty days, his company commander being John McLean, afterward Chief Justice of the United States. He was an active, energetic farmer, a communicant and class-leader of the Methodist Church, and for many years one of the magistrates of his county. In the records of the county still stands a minute of one of his decisions, which was as unusual as it was pertinent. Two men having traded horses, each claimed to have been defrauded; the squire's verdict was that they should trade back.
He was six feet tall, of large frame, with complexion inclined to swarthiness, and strong positive cast of countenance; of a disposition passionate, though not revengeful, and easily placated. His industry was proverbial, and he loved hard work for its own sake. His religious convictions were controlling and he was a diligent student of the Bible, of which he had minute knowledge. He was courteous and hospitable, and delighted in conversation, especially the discussion and argument of theological subjects, to which he was greatly addicted.
