Then entered house and broke a clock, damage $100. At April 1827 term of court defendants pleaded not guilty. Their defense was that in Nov. 1825 a court of assessment for the 48th Regiment of Indiana Milita held at the house of Jeremiah Meek with Thomas R. Stanford as judge advocate and Mathew McKinney as provost marshall fined Lewelling for non performance of milita duty in 1825, the said plantiff professing to be conscientiously scruplous of bearing arms; In Dec 1825, it imposed fine of $2.50. On Jan. 2, 1826 they made a list of fines to be collected, issued by Elijah Long, Senior Officer, and delegated to Sheriff Jesse H. Healey, who did not collect them. Then fines turned over to Leavell, who seized the horse and sold it at auction on Jan. 1, 1827, for $23.01. Leavell returned to Lewelling $18.07 3/4 which Lewelling refused to accept. Court found for defendants Lewelling appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court with William Butler as security. Supreme Court reversed on technicalty involving identification of the sheriff and remanded back to Henry County to new trial. Court finds for defendants

1877 - "During its November 1877 term, the Supreme Court of Indiana heard a case, “The Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Lewelling,” in which Western Union appealed a lower court decision in favor of William Lewelling. In the earlier case, William Lewelling had alleged that a Western Union agent had failed to deliver a proper message, delivered to him during office hours on 22 September 1874 in Salem, Indiana, which had been accompanied by payment or tender of the usual charges. The message was from William Lewelling to his sister Jane Banta, in care of T.A. Banta. It appears Jane Banta was living in Bloomington, India, at the time. In the telegram, William Lewelling advised his sister Jane that their mother had died on the evening of 21 September 1874, and that she would be buried at 11 o’clock on 23 September. Jane Balta apparently never received the telegram. The draft message had been delivered to the Western Union office in Salem by farmer Josiah Diefendorf (58, who lived three miles north of Salem) at the request of William Lewelling."

WAYNE COUNTY
Formed 1811 from Clark and Dearborn
The History of Wayne County, vol. 2 pg 396 talks of early settlers of the southwestern part of the Franklin township and mentions Mesheck Llewellyn
NOTE: This family descended from Shadrach and Deborah (Burson) Lewallen and then the Meshach descended from William Lewelling of NC. THIS IS CONFUSING and needs to be worked out. Meshach lived in Neslon County, KY prior to moving to Wayne County, Indiana.
1809 - Nancy Llewellyn married James Addington
1810 - (See 1812) Jonas and Rachel (Lewallen) Hatfield and their children - Deborah, Thomas, Martha, Rachel, Mary, Jonas, Ann, John and Nathan moved to Warren County, Ohio 1806. By 1810 they were in Wayne Co. Indiana (Rachel descends from Shadrach and Deborah (Burson) Lewallen. Sone researchers say she was married first to Abel Janney (b ca 1739/56) and had a son Abel (born Jan. 30, 1787 in Loudoun) but the early Quaker records show that by 1787 she was already a Hatfield. Information (correct or not) shows the family movied to Kentucky first, then to Indiana which seems to be where the descendants of Shadrach moved.
1811 - See Davidson County, Tennessee where Shadrach was selling land belonging to Abednego Lewallen.
1812 - History of Greens Fork, Indiana reads:
Jonas Hatfield, Sr. came from Kentucky in 1812, purchased the land that the town of Washington (Greens fork) now is built on. Abel Jenny came the same year and joined lands with Hatfield, Sr.
1812 - A Zachariah Lewallen was in the War of 1812 from Wayne County, IN. According to a posting on Roots web, he was a Colonel. In addition, Shadrach Lewallen was in the same detachment - that of McFarland's.

Meshach is mentioned in the Quaker Records of 1812, 1817, 1819 and 18?? The latter date states "cert rec for Meshack (Lewallin) and sons Henry, Henderson, John, Seth and William from Back Creek MM NC and to West Grove MM (West Grove MM was held in Wayne Co. INd. Esta. 1818.)
NOTE: This, then puts Meshach Lewallen as being received in the Whitewater Monthly Meeting and he came from Back Creek MM which was in Randolph County, North Carolina. This would have been the family of WILLIAM LEWELLING of Randolph County, NC.
