    NOTE 2./ History of Presidency during this time period

    Historical Note: Andrew Jackson was President in 1832 when he ordered all Indians east of the Mississippi, to be moved West. This was one of the sadest edicts of this and for all time in the History of the United States. Andrew Jackson imposed his will on the Presidency, the people, the banking industry and the landscape of America. He was not a good delegator, and fired the members of his Cabinet, in some instances several times, when they would not do his exact bidding. He was a born fighter and dualed several times, and had two lead balls in his body from these contests. Jackson was censured by his Democratic Party for firing 3 Secretary of the Treasurys in order to change the Federal Banking methods. He was the only President to be censured. He was given the name "Jackass" by his Party, which soon became the symbol assumed by his Democratic Party. He was the first and last President to leave the Government debt free at his parting. Andrew Jackson used the Presidential veto 12 times, supassed only by Andrew Johnson (25), who took over after the assassination of Lincoln. As a final note, Johnson later missed being impeached by only one vote, because he did not want to punish the South, after the Civil War.

    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ Singletary Family Genealogy Forum @ genealogy.com posted by V. Allen Singletary
    <> March 18, 1999.

    I have information on descendants of Thomas W. Singletary and the ancestors of his daughter, Martha Sincletary. Martha was born 30 Sep 1814, Telfair Co., GA, married 1840, Phillip Walker, born 1814, NC, died 1893, Martha died 17 Mar 1869, Schley Co., GA. Her father and mother were Thomas W. Singletary and Anna Barrow.
    Thomas W. Singletary, born (1770-75), Camden, Sumter Co., SC, married ca. 1800, in Sumter Co., SC, Anna Barrow, born 1777, NC, (daughter of Taylor Barrow and Mary Purvis). Thomas died 1842, Telfair, Pulaski Co., GA, and Martha died 30 Jul 1858, Schley Co., GA.
    Thomas W. Singletary and Anna Barrow had the following known children: Thomas W., Arthur, William, Elijah, Nathan J., Martha, Sarah "Sally", Ziba B., and James T. Singletary. Details are in the genealogy report files.
    The 1820 Census showed Thomas and Anna with 7 boys and 3 girls. ((Males: 2 age 0-10; 2 age 10-16; 3 age 16-26; 1 age 45+. Females: 3 age 0-10; 1 age 16-26. No Slaves))
    The 1830 Census showed 5 boys, 4 girls. Thomas moved to GA in 1800. Anna, in 1850 lived in Sumter Co., GA. Her obituary dated 9/22/1858 said she left 7 children.
    I do not claim credit for the research on these people, but I believe the information is valid.

    NOTE 3./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1789

    The year was 1789 and in the U.S. a young government was beginning to take shape. In its first nationwide election, the popular Revolutionary War general, George Washington, became the country's first president and was sworn in at the first capitol of the United States, Federal Hall in New York City.

    In France, a rebellion was underway and with the storming of the Bastille prison, the French Revolution began. In its reporting on the subject, The Times of London, England had the following to say of the conflict:

    The spirit of liberty which so long lay in a state of death, oppressed by the hand of power, received its first spark of returning animation, by the incautious and impolitic assistance afforded to America. The French soldier on his return from that emancipated continent, told a glorious tale to his countrymen--"That the arms of France had given freedome to thirteen United States, and planted the standard of liberty on the battlements of New York and Philadelphia." The idea of such a noble deed became a general object of admiration, the [facets?] of a similar state were eagerly longed for by all ranks of people, and the vox populi had this force of argument--"If France gave freedom to America, why should she not unchain the arbitrary fetters which bind her own people.

    Later that year, the Marquis de Lafayette, with the advice of Thomas Jefferson who was at the time the American ambassador to France, drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. It was adopted by France's National Assembly in August and ratified by Louis XVI in October.

    There was unrest in other parts of the world as well. Sweden and Russia were at war, and briefly, Norway had joined the conflict, although a peace treaty was signed in July 1789.

    In a smaller, but well-known conflict, the mutiny on the H.M.S. Bounty was also in the year 1789. On April 28, part of the crew of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Captain William Bligh and eighteen crewmembers adrift. Bligh managed to get the boat some 3,600 miles to Timor. Some of the mutineers were captured and prosecuted--three were hanged, while others, including Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants live to this day.

    In 1789, there was an epidemic of influenza in New England, New York, and Nova Scotia, which resulted in many deaths due to secondary cases of pneumonia. The new president was among those who fell ill. He caught a cold while visiting Boston, and later, was affected more seriously with influenza, which was dubbed Washington Influenza.
