James Orr was a brother-in-law of Nancy Amanda Bush Houston, wife of Edward "Ned" brother James Lafayette. David Bush one of the accusers was her brother. He instructs Edward "Ned" at the end of the letter to tell James to cease all communication with his wife's family NOTE 3./ Edward E Houston – had 12 children with 3 wives. The oldest 2 sons were Edward “Ned” and James Lafayette. They were 12 to 15 years older than the next set of siblings. They as far as I can tell were the first to leave Barbour Co.. Ned settled in Bienville Parish in 1845 and made trips to Scout the area as early as 1843. James Lafayette followed in 1851. Other families came with them from Barbour Co. such as Holland, Wimberly, Bush, Sims (to name a few I know of so far) – in Wagon Trains using overland routes – The Kings Highway passes through Winn Parish, LA., which is due south of Bienville. The Kings Highway was the main wagon train route that lead west to California. They could also have used another route – going along the gulf coast and ferrying up the Mississippi. There are 3 more siblings that followed – Stephen Hopkins Houston, John B Houston and Mary W. Houston Sims. All of them stopped in Bienville Parish before going on to Texas, whether it was to spend the winter, restock provisions and rest or just visit family and it may have been for all of those reasons. John B came before the Civil War – He joined an LA Confederate Infantry unit. More of the siblings may have followed but I have not researched all of them yet to be able to tell you.

16704	NOTE 1./ 5-05-02: Searched the entire LDS Canadian 1881 census for Annie (Ann) and then Jane Thompson with a husband named Robert. There were about 4 returns on Anne, 2 returns on Jane, for a total of about 4 of which were in Northern Ontario, but none matched any of the childrens names on record of; Ben, Alexander Cecil or Will. Possible re-evaluation looking for Annie Jane as a widow, living with a son named Ben or Alexander or Will. If found living with a daughter, nothing could be confirmed since there is no record of a daughter from this union. NOTE 2./ LISTS OF THE PIONEERS This is a list of approximately 1800 names of settlers before the year 1837. It is an appendix to the book "The History of Simcoe County" by Andrew F. Hunter.

16706	NOTE 1./ After moving to Woodbridge, NJ, Jonathan used the surname Dunham and signed numerous legal documents as Jonathan Dunham alias " Singletary". I have found no reason for the change of name. His descendants continue to use the surname of Dunham. He built the first grist mill in NJ, and received 213 acres in land for building it. In 1670 he was chosen "Overseer of Highways". In 1672 and 1675, he was Township Clerk,1674 and 1684, he was " Ratemaker" (Tax Assessor).He was an attorney and represented Woodbridge over disputed land with Piscataway, NJ. He was a member of the Assembly of New Jersey under the Propriety Government in 1673, and, in 1701 represented Woodbridge under Governor Carteret. Jonathan was a respected citizen in NJ and served his community. NOTE 2./ JONATHAN SINGLETARY by Audrey (Shields) Hancock April, 2000 at Roots Web.com ; JONATHAN SINGLETARY-DUNHAM FAMILY LINE : <> <> Jonathan DUNHAM of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ started out life as Jonathan SINGLETARY, eldest son of Richard SINGLETARY and Susanna COOKE of Haverhill, Massachusetts. He was no relation to the "Mayflower" DUNHAM Family of Plymouth, Massachusetts, even though attempts to connect him have been made at times. Previous books and genealogies often allude to this connection, and plant him among the descendants of Deacon John DUNHAM. Our Jonathan ended life as Jonathan DUNHAM (alias SINGLETARY). He appears to have had a dual personality having led a stormy life in Haverhill, Massachusetts...perhaps a scoundrel, a notorious vagabond, an antagonizer of the Puritan leaders, etc.. Jonathan SINGLETARY, s/o Richard SINGLETARY and Susanna COOKE, was born 1639/40 at Salisbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts where he appears to have been living at the time of his marriage. Jonathan married about 1660-1661 to Mary BLOOMFIELD, daughter of Thomas and Mary BLOOMFIELD. At about age 23 in 1662, Jonathan got into court trouble with John GODFREY, accusing John of witchcraft. In return, John GODFREY sued Jonathan for defamation and slander. This was followed by Jonathan being found guilty and having to pay a fine or having to make a public apology. Jonathan SINGLETARY, appears to have been placed in prison for his erring ways. He evidently had disputes with the Plymouth government for some sort of rebellion. In government records he was described as being a "ranter" and "disseminating corrupt religious principles among his neighbors." Also, in 1662, Richard and Susanna SINGLETARY conveyed to 150 acres of land in Haverhill to Mary, wife of Jonathan SINGLETARY...not to Jonathan. Perhaps this reflected the fact that Jonathan was not yet settled due to his erring ways, and his parents felt it best to place the land in the hands of his wife, Mary. Then around 1665/1666, Jonathan and Mary removed to Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ with the BLOOMFIELD family. With the move came a surname change to DUNHAM, perhaps for anonymity and a different way of life. Perhaps it was to re-establish or reclaim the DUNHAM surname of his ancestors. However, even after marriage he appears to have continued to lead a separate life at times when he returned to Massachusetts temporarily. In New Jersey, Jonathan erected a grain mill in 1670, and here he appears to have led a respectable life. His brick home is said to have been built in 1671 which after some renovation now [2000] serves as a church rectory. His home and a millstone can be see at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~grannyapple/NJCh-Cem/MiddlesexCoNJWoodbridgeHOME/TrinityEpiscopalChHOME.html . Stephen Kent, Jr. of Woodbridge deeded on 20 Jul 1673 to Jonathan DUNHAM "alias SINGLETARY of the same place, for part of his house-lot meadows of Papyack Creek, adjoining grantee, S. of the road to grantee's mill etc." Again, we note that Jonathan is referred to as being "alias SINGLETARY," and records of him in New Jersey appear to always indicate an alias. According to Kenneth Royal DUNHAM in his "DUNHAM-SINGLETARY GENEALOGY," Jonathan was not just an "ordinary miller," but one of the founders of Woodbridge, a New Jersey legislature representative, and a community and church leader. However, with his infamous background his respectably lies in question. Perhaps as time elapsed Jonathon mellowed in his attitudes and behaviors, and became a man of respectability. On 16 Apr 1702, Jonathan was given Power of Attorney by his wife and children to dispose of lands held in Haverhill, Massachusetts. It appears that this was land given to them by Jonathan's parents, Richard & Susannah SINGLETARY, as they are mentioned in the Power of Attorney letter. All sons and one daughter signed "DONHAM alias SINGLETARY" and one daughter signed "Mary ELLISON." There seems to be overwhelming evidence that for whatever reason, Jonathan SINGLETARY of Massachusetts, was, in fact, the one and same Jonathan DUNHAM of Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ. NOTE 3./ Dunham descendant needs help I am a direct descendant of Jonathan Singletary Dunham, who built a grist mill in Woodbridge in 1670. Our research group found the long-lost site. The Army Corps of Engineers hired the Hunter Archaeology team, and they verified the site. The Army Corps spokeswoman, at a meeting with us, said it is definitely the site and the Hunter Research Team will terminate the search because they are no longer going to build on the site. Then they had a secret meeting. We were not invited. Then they had a meeting at Woodbridge Town Hall last Thursday, which we heard of by word of mouth. We went to the meeting and found out that they plan to build a canoe dock on top of one of the oldest historical sites in New Jersey. What can we do, who can we turn to? This must be stopped.

16708	NOTE 1./ Angela Keany ; Melbourne, Australia: Date:7/13/2003 1:11:13 AM Eastern Daylight Time: From: <> I've been gathering any information I can on Jacob(s) in that area trying to see how they might relate to mine. Although sometimes Jacobs is spelled without the "s" and vice versa, our family name is Jacob. In hunting down the ancestors I have found both Jacob and Jacobs as distinct families or even within one family or from document to document. I don't know whether they descend from the one family, with spelling variations along the way. In 1841 Sunbury was quite a separate town to Hanworth and my ancestors lived in both towns and a couple of others. Looking through my notes I find the following relating to George Jacobs' family, and for your information, have added to it the family I am researching. Not knowing John Jacobs' parents, it is hard to make a connection: John Jacobs m Mary Crafts, widow c 1836 (1851 Census) 1841 Census Hanworth in Pantile Row (LDS film HO/107/718) John Jacobs aged 40 Born In County Mary Jacobs aged 38 Katherine Jacobs aged 4 Phoebe Jacobs aged 2 George Jacobs aged 6 weeks 1851 Census Hanworth (LDS film HO/107/1696) John Jacobs Head m aged 51 Ag Lab born Hanworth Mary Jacobs Wife m aged 47 born Hants Old Basing George Jacobs son aged 9 born Hanworth Henry Jacobs son aged 6 born Hanworth Edward Jacobs son aged 3 born Hanworth Elizabeth Craft stepdau aged 24 born Hampton Joseph Craft Stepson aged 19 Ag Lab born Hanworth Mary Foster Stepdau aged 27 born Hampton William Foster Step grandson aged 6 weeks born Hounslow My ancestor, of the same generation as the above John Jacobs who married Mary Crafts, was Edward Jacob born 1807 in Feltham close to Hanworth.

Kind regards, Angela Keany , Melbourne, Australia NOTE 2./ 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.

16709	Note 1./ Benjamin Singletary, youngest son of Richard (d.1687) was a soldier under Lieutenant Swett in "King Phillip's War" which was brought to an end April 12, 1676 upon the death of King Phillip. On the 4th of April, 1678 he married Mary Stockbridge and settled in his native town of Haverhill, Mass. 1695, he left Mass. and migrated to the Province of South Carolina and settled at a place on the Ashby River called Red Bank near Summerville, SC in the ST. Thomas & ST. Denis Parish. Here, on July 8, 1699 he obtained a warrant for 300 acres of land. Note 2./ Benjamin Singletary. Born April 4th,1656. Married Mary Stockbridge April 4th, 1678 and settled in his native town of Haverhill, MA. In 1695 he left MA and settled in South Carolina. The book I have shows that his descendants chose to spell their name "Singeltary". It also says that Bejamin became the founder and head of the So. Carolina branch of the Singletary family. It shows that all of his children were born in MA. They are: 1) Susanna(h)Jan. 27,1679; 2)Richard,Mar 16,1681; 3) Jonathon, Aug. 28,1683; 4)John, July 6, 1686; 5) Broughton,Mar 25,1689; 6)Joseph,Feb 9, 1692-3; 7)Mary. July 14,1695 Note 3./ What is known is that Benjamin, youngest son of Richard (d.1687), migrated to South Carolina in 1695. Benjamin's descendants are the origin of the family in North and South Carolina. Benjamin received a warrant for 300 acres of land near Red Banks,SC (Summerville,SC) on July 8, 1699.

Brigadier General in the expedition for the capture of West Florida in1811. NOTE 2./ MATHEWS, George, a Representative from Georgia; born in Augusta County, Va., August 30, 1739; commanded a volunteer company against the Indians in 1757 and in the Battle of Point Pleasant October 10, 1774; colonel of the Ninth Virginia Regiment in the Revolutionary War; was exchanged in December 1781 and joined General Greene’s army as colonel of the Third Virginia Regiment; engaged in farming in Oglethorpe County, Ga., in 1785; Governor of Georgia in 1787 and 1793-1796; elected to the First Congress (March 4, 1789-March 3, 1791); brigadier general in the expedition for the capture of West Florida in 1811; died in Augusta, Ga., August 30, 1812; interment in St. Paul’s Churchyard. In 1775 he was elected a colonel of the ninth regiment, and for two years he commanded it on the eastern shore of Virginia, after which he joined General Washington. Colonel Mathews commanded his regiment at Brandywine, and at the battle of Germantown captured a regiment of the enemy. He received a very severe wound with a bayonet in another skirmish, was taken a prisoner, and confined on board a British ship in the harbor of New York. He was not exchanged until the termination of the war, when he joined General Greene as commander of the third Virginia regiment. He removed to "Goose Pond," on Broad river, Georgia, in 1785, with his family. One year afterwards he was elected Governor of the State. Under the present constitution he was the first representative of Georgia in Congress, and in 1794, 1795, he was again Governor. In 1798 President John ADAMS sent his name to the Senate for confirmation as governor of the Mississippi Territory, but as sharp objection was raised in that body because of MATHEW's connection with one of the Yazoo land companies, the President withdrew his name. Governor George GILMER recorded that as a result of this, MATHEWS went directly to Philadelphia, barged into the President's home, and informed him as follows: "Sir, if you had known me, you would not have taken the nomination back. If you did not know me, you should not have nominated me to so important an office. Now, Sir, unless you can satisfy me, your station of President of these United States shall not screen you from my vengeance." ADAMS placated the fiery MATHEWS by promising to appoint his son, John, supervisor of public revenue in Georgia. Mathews was forced to deal with Elijah Clarke's attempts to capture East Florida and to set up an independent republic across the Oconee River. More importantly, Mathews signed the infamous Yazoo Land Act, leading to the illegal granting and selling of large tracts of Georgia's western lands. This left him unpopular in Georgia, and in 1797 Mathews moved permanently to the Mississippi Territory. Subsequently, Pres. Madison appointed Mathews to try to acquire Florida from the Spain. Toward this end, Mathews attempted to stir up revolt among the Indians in Florida, which led Madison to repudiate his activities. Upon hearing of this, Mathews angrily left for Washington to confront Madison, but in route he died on his 73rd birthday in Augusta, Ga., where he was buried in St. Paul's churchyard. NOTE 3./ MATHEWS, George, (1739 - 1812) Early life George was born to John and Ann (Arthur) Mathews on August 30, 1739 in Augusta County, Virginia. Young George helped expand the family enterprise. He went into business with his older brother, Sampson, and the brothers acquired property as far west as the Greenbrier district. Their commercial or mercantile efforts extended to oversees markets. George joined the militia, and became active in civic affairs. He became a vestryman in the church, a Ccaptain in te militia, and the sheriff of Augusta County. He earned a military reputation leading his company in the Battle of Point Pleasant against the Shawnee Indians during Lord Dunmore's War in 1774. Revolutionary war Mathews was named the Colonel of the Ninth Virginia Regiment in early 1777. Soon after he led them north to join the Continental Army, but met with serious reverses. In the Battle of Germantown on September 26, 1777 his entire regiment was killed, captured, or scattered. Mathew himself became a Prisoner of War, at first held at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When the British withdrew from there, he was moved to a prison ship, anchored in New York harbor. By 1779 Mathews gave a limited parole and was permitted to live in New York City, He wrote to Governor Thomas Jefferson and to the Continental Congress urging an exchange, but exchanges were limited by disagreement at the highest levels. He was finally exchanged in 1781, but got back into action only after the Battle of Yorktown. Mathews was named commander of the Twelfth Virginia Regiment, but this was only a nominal. command, since his new regiment had been prisoners since the fall of Charleston in May of 1780. But, he went south to work with any available force in clean up actions in South Carolina and Georgia. Life in Georgia Mathews was impressed with what he saw as the opportunities on the Georgia frontier. Released from service in 1783, he bought land in Wilkes County. He augmented that with land grants, given for Revolutionary War service. He liquidated his Virginia property, and moved his family to a log cabin there. He and his wife, Polly, would raise their children there and in their later, larger house. In all, they had eight: John, Charles Lewis, George, William, Ann, Jane, Margaret, and Rebecca. George encouraged other Virginia families to help settle the area. He became a judge in Wilkes County, and a town commissioner for Washington, Georgia. Then in 1787 he was a successful candidate for the Georgia Assembly. His bearing and military experience gained the respect of the other members, and they named him Governor that same year. He attended the state convention that ratified the United States Constitution. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1789 but served only one term. Mathew's political career had struck its first bump. His identification as a Federalist and his involvement in land speculation caused him to lose the Election for the U.S. Senate in 1792. But, by 1793 he had regained enough support to again be chosen Governor. His second administration was much less successful than his first. He couldn't get Federal support or funding from the Assembly for his planned series of frontier forts to protect against stepped up raids by the Creek Indians. Frustrated, Mathews again turned to dealing with land speculators in an effort to maintain his popularity. When the western land speculation, known as the Yazoo Land Fraud became public, his career was over. James Jackson resigned from the U.S. Senate and returned to replace him as Governor in the 1796 election. Later life Mathews start afresh in the Mississippi Territory. Poly had died, so he married a widow, Mary Carpenter, who owned property there. A few years later he again became involved with politics, at first as a spy. U.S. President James Madison and he had conceived a plan to annex East Florida, then governed by Spain. English and other European colonists had been abandoned by Britain after the Revolutionary War. He was to foment a rebellion in St. Augustine, then lead troops in to make the annexation a reality. Mathews succeeded in the first steps, and early in 1812 activated a commission from Madison as a Brigadier General, and gathered local troops for the invasion. But, in Washington, D.C., the congress became alarmed at the possibility of being drawn into war with Spain. Madison was forced to recall his commission, and the effort fell apart. Mathews decided to go to Waqshington to appeal his case personally. But, on the trip he became ill and was forced to stop in Augusta, Georgia. He died in Augusta on August 30, 1812, and was buried in St. Paul's Churchyard there. NOTE 4./ George MATHEWS (Brigadier General) EVENT: 25 JUL 1757, Augusta, VA <> "George MATHEWS of Staunton, and William and Audley Maxwell were on their way to Smith's house at the time of the assault. Hearing the report of the guns as they approached, they supposed there was a shooting match at the place; but on riding up to the house, they discovered the dead bodies of Smith and Renix lying in the yard. The Indians had concealed themselves in and behind the house when they saw Mathews nd his companions approaching, and fired upon them as they wheeled to ride back. The club of Mathews' cue was cut off, and Audley Maxwell was slightly wounded in the arm." "The Indians then divided their party, twenty of them with their prisones and plunder returning to Ohio, while the remainder started towards Cedar creek to commit further depredations. But Mathews and the Maxwells had aroused the settlement and all the people soon collected at Paul's Fort, at the Big Spring, near Springfield. Here the women and children were left to be defended by Audley Maxwell and five other men; twenty-one men led by Mathews, going in search of the enemy. The Indians were soon encountered, and, after a severe engagement, took flight. They were pursued as far as Purgatory creek, but escaped in the night and overtaking their comrades at the mouth of the Cowpasture river, proceeded to Ohio without further molestation. Three whites (Benjamin Smith, Thomas Maury and the father of Sally Jew) were killed in the engagement. Returning to the battlefield the next morning, Mathews and his men buried the dead Indians on the spot. The whites slain there, and those murdered in the preceding day, were buried near the fork of a branch in what was (in 1831) the Meadow of Thomas Cross, Sen. EVENT: "General Mathews was a short, thick man, with stout legs, on which he stood very straight. He carried his head, rather thrown back. His features were full and bluff; his hair, light red; and his complexion, fair and florrid. His looks spoke out that he would not fear the devil, should he meet him face to face..... His dress was in unison with his look and conversation. He wore a threeÄcornered cocked hat, fair top boots, a full, ruffled shirt at the bosom and wrists, and occasionally, a long sword at his side..... He was unlearned. He pronounced fully the "l" in would, should, etc., and "ed" at the termination of compound words, with a long drawling accent. He spelled coffee "Kaughphy". He wrote congress with a "k". When Governor, he dictated his messages to his secretary, and then sent them to James Mason Simmons, the Irish schoolmaster, to put them into grammar. "His memory was unequalled. Whilst he was a Member of Congress, an important document, which had been read during the session, was lost. He was able to repeat its contents verbatim. Previous to the Revolutionary War, he was Sheriff of Augusta County (Virginia), and had to collect the taxes from the inhabitants. He recollected for a long time the name of every taxpayer. His memory, and sharpness in trade, enabled him to make lucrative speculations in the most unusual way." ".....He (George) was by far the crudest, most dynamic, energetic, colorful, and capable of the seven boys. He spent virtually all of his life on frontiers: western Virginia, upper Georgia, the Mississippi Territory, and Florida...... One contemporary of Mathews wrote: "I knew him to be a man of unwavering truth as he was of dauntless courage and gigantic mind. He was indeed illiterate, but I have rarely known his equal in energy, comprehension and moral sense." "By the time he had reached his early twenties, he was a seasoned veteran of Indian warfare..... By the early 176O's Mathews had become a prominent and prosperous young man in Augusta County..... He and his older brother, Sampson, engaged in several economic activities. They kept an ordinary..... and ran a store..... The two brothers were very active in the purchase and sale of lots in Staunton as well as large and small tracts of land throughout the surrounding area. As merchants, they soon penetrated the whole area west of the mountains..... The Mathews firm dealt in everything from Dutch ovens to contracts for indentured servants and a few Negro slaves..... Naturally, a successful businessman would be called upon to serve his community in other ways. "Mathews was a natural storyteller and the war was the source of some of his tallest stories. His own part in it grew with the years. During his lifetime he was known to acknowledge but two superiors: General George Washington, and the Lord Almighty. And as time passed, he questioned the high standing of Washington. Mathews never forgot that he "blead from five wounds in his Countrys service" and sustained a loss in his private interest of twenty thousand pounds by "depreciation of our money" during the war. BIRTH: 30 AUG 1739, Augusta, VA ; DEATH: 30 AUG 1812, Augusta, Richmond, GA "Late in August (1812) the General reached Augusta. Once there he crawled into bed. By morning his fever had mounted - he could not rise. The hot, humid air of the river town pressed on him from every side.... His fever continued unabated, and his once strong muscles could barely move his emaciated body. On Sunday, August 30, he would be seventy-three years of age. Sunday came and Mathews still lived, but as though that birthday were a goal of major importance, he achieved it and could go no further. Hot-tempered General George Mathews was dead.

He was taken prisoner and sent to a British prison in New York; he was later exchanged. He was wounded in the Battle of Germantown, and his men, retreating before the advancing British, failed to see him as he lay on the field. An English soldier lifted his bayonet to stab him, but his commander caught the weapon and angrily demanded, "Would you murder a wounded officer?" Turning painfully on his back, Mathews asked, "To whom, sar, do I owe my life?" ""If you call it an obligation, sir, to me," replied the British officer. "Mathews eyed the British uniform above him and muttered, "Well, sar, I'll have you know I scorn a life saved by a damn Briton. Fortunately, his wounds were not fatal. "There are several versions as to how Mathews and his regiment came to be captured (at the battle of Germantown)..... Undoubtedly, Mathews' regiment fought its way far in advance of the other American units as it pushed beyond Luken's Mill. When Mathews received orders to retreat, or was forced to do so, he attempted to withdraw via Luken's Mill. Changes in the battle lines had allowed the enemy to man the breastworks again, thus blocking his withdrawal route. "Despite the fact that the Ninth Regiment was captured at Germantown, the entire unit, and especially Mathews, won considerable fame for their conduct during the campaign. The salvation of the American army at Germantown was ascribed in one early biography of Greene "to the bravery and good conduct of two regiments, one of which was commanded by..... Col Mathews."

The following letter was dispatched to General Mathews: "JAMES MONROE, SECRETARY OF STATE, TO GEORGE MATHEWS ; Department of State April 4, 1812 "Gen. George Mathews "Sir, "I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 14th of March, and have now to communicate to you the sentiments of the President on the very interesting subject to which it relates. I am sorry to have to state that the measures which you appear to have adopted for obtaining possession of Amelia Island and other parts of East Florida, are not authorized by the law of the United States under which you have acted. You were authorized by the law, a copy of which was communicated, and by your instructions which are strictly conformable to it, to take possession of East Florida only in case one of the following contingencies should happen: either that the Governor, or other existing local authority, should be disposed to place it amicably in the hands of the United States, or that an attempt should be made to take possession of it by a foreign power. Should the first contingency happen, it would follow that the arrangement being amicable would require no force on the part of the United States to carry it into effect. It was only in case of an attempt to take it by a foreign power that force could be necessary in which event only were you authorized to avail yourself of it, "In neither of these contingencies was it the policy of the law, or purpose of the Executive, to wrest the province forcibly from Spain, but only to occupy it with a view to prevent its falling into the hands of any foreign power and to hold that pledge under the existing peculiarity of the circumstances of the Spanish monarchy for a just result in an amicable negotiation with Spain. "Had the U. S. been disposed to proceed otherwise, that intention would have been manifested by a change of the law and suitable measures to carry it into effect, and as it was in their power to take possession whenever they might think that circumstances authorize and require it, it would be the more to be regretted if possession should be effected by any means irregular in themselves and subjecting the Government of the U. S. to unmerited censure. "The views of the Executive respecting East Florida are further illustrated by your instructions as to West Florida. Although the U. S. have thought they had a good title to the latter Province they did not take possession until after the Spanish authority had been subverted by a revolutionary proceeding, and the contingency of the country being thrown into foreign hands had forced itself into view, nor did they then, nor have they since, dispossessed the Spanish Troops of the Post which they occupied. If they did not think proper to take possession by force of a Province to which they thought they were justly entitled, it could not be presumed that they should intend to act differently in, respect to one due sensibility has been always felt for the injuries which were received from the Spanish government in the war, the present situation of Spain has been a motive for moderate and pacific policy towards her. "In communicating to you these sentiments of the Executive on the measures you have lately adopted for taking possession of East Florida, I add with pleasure that the utmost confidence is reposed in your integrity and zeal to promote the welfare of your country. To that zeal, the error into which you have fallen, is imputed. But in consideration of the part you have taken which differs so essentially from that contemplated and authorized by the Government and contradicts so entirely the principles on which it has uniformly and sincerely acted, you will be sensible of the necessity of discontinuing the service in which you have been employed. You will, therefore, consider your powers as revoked on the receipt of this letter. The new duties to be performed will be transferred to the Governor of Georgia, to whom instructions will be given on all the circumstances to which it may be proper at the present juncture to call his attention"I am, Sir James Monroe." George was infuriated and immediately headed for Washington, D.C. He made it as far as Augusta, Georgia "It is not to embelish a character that ever shone without any false lustre, that you are requested to record the death of General GEORGE MATTHEWS, one of our real heroic and patriotic revolutionary fathers. On his journey to Washington from Florida he became indisposed in this city, and after an illness of 12 days expired.	MATHEWS, RS Governor George (I13409)

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.	SINGLETARY, Arthur (I510)
16714	NOTE 1./ CONJECTURE: The use of the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid and the LDS 1881 Canadian census allowed the finding of the approximate birthdates of son's, Thomas Jr. (1822), and William (1818), who are both buried at St. John's Anglican Church in Bond Head, Simcoe, Ontario. The significance in this finding is that Thomas Jr is listed as being born in Ontario, while William's birth is listed as being in Ireland. The emigration of Thomas Thompson Sr. and his family is therefore predicted to be between 1818 and 1822. QED by RAM.

16715	NOTE 1./ David J. Thompson: 78 Shavian Blvd., London, ON, N6G 2P3; Tel: 1-519-858-0239; Fax: 1-519-858-8223 May 18, 2002 letter Mr. R. Millie, 8700 North Shore Drive, Jonesboro, GA, 30236. Ms. Melanie Maasdam, 2205 195th Street, Clarion, Iowa 50525 Dear Bob & Melanie: I wrote recently about some Millie's I found in Scotland I thought might be precursors of Melanie's H.H. Millie. Melanie asked me to explain, and I thought it would be a good exercise to see if it hangs together. I think Bob's line may well be connected as well, so here goes: We have these facts: " Henry (aka "Harry") H. Millie (H.H. Millie) was born in Ireland Feb 8, 1863. His brothers were Charles Thomas Millie and Samuel Boucher Millie. We know this from the information I got last year from the National Archives. The three emigrated to Canada in the early 1880's. " H.H. Millie's brother Samuel Boucher Millie joined the North-West Mounted Police force on September 1, 1899 and was discharged on March 25, 1904. The archive records refer to his next of kin, Miss Lily Hariot Millie of Ballymooney, Gashill, Kings. Co., Ireland. Another record identifies his next of kin as his sister, Margaret McDowell of Upper Edmonton, now a London suburb. Samuel joined the 179th Battalion in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in World War I. This relationship is confirmed in the Archives records, and per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma. Although reported to have died in Winnipeg during WWI, the archives records suggest he claimed a pension in British Columbia under the name William Thompson. " H.H. Millie's Charles Millie was found in Battleford, Saskatchewan. It appears that he was a member of the Battleford Home Guard Volunteers in the rebellion of 1885. He was given a land grant for services but took $$ instead. By 1901, when Henry had settled in Carman Manitoba, Charles was working for a rancher in Alberta near Wetaskiwin. In the letter from H. H. Millie in Carman, Manitoba to the Commissioner of the North-West Mounted Police it says that his brother Charles had died just previous to September 11, 1902. He died shortly after in Wetaskiwin. This relationship is confirmed in the Archives records, and per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma. H. H. Millie also had 4 sisters per information from Melanie, as well as from the archives records of Samuel. " Margaret Ellen Millie married a McDowell and was living in London, according to Samuel's next of kin record, at the time of WWI, at 16 Angel Road, Upper Edmonton, Enfield, England. A note from Melanie says she died December 5, 1921, aged 68, interred in Tottenham Cemetery. I found these records (LDS British Vital Records, 2nd Edition) which give the husband as Frederick, and two children, an unnamed boy and an unnamed girl, born in Dublin: MCDOWELL, Birth Gender: Male Birth Date: 4 Sep 1875 Birthplace: No 3 South City, Dub, Ire Recorded in: Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: George Frederick MCDOWELL Mother: Margaret Ellen MILLIE Source: FHL Film 255935 Dates: 1875 - 1875 *********************** MCDOWELL, Birth Gender: Female Birth Date: 4 Dec 1873 Birthplace: No 3 South City, Dub, Ire Recorded in: Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: George Frederick MCDOWELL Mother: Margaret Ellen MILLER Source: FHL Film 255889 Dates: 1873 - 1875 I couldn't find them in England yet in the 1881 census. " Lillian Hariot Millie - per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma, never married " Henrietta Millie - per note received from Melanie apparently written by H.H.'s daughter Emma, never married; and " Mary Millie, married Charles Castle. The parents of H.H. Millie and the others were identified by Melanie as Henry Millie and Mary Dempster. The death certificate for H.H. lists his father as Henry Millie, and his mother as Mary. Note that the death certificate says that the father, Henry Millie was born in Scotland. I found the following marriage record (in the LDS British Vital records CD's, 2nd edition) for Henry and Mary Dempster, which says Henry's father was Thomas and Mary's was Charles Dempster: MILLIE, Henry Age: 30 Wife: Mary Jane DEMPSTER Age: 21 Marriage Date: 31 May 1851 Recorded in: St Thomas, Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Husband's Father: Thomas MILLIE Wife's Father: Charles DEMPSTER Source: FHL Film 101326 Dates: 1851 - 1851 (I will call H.H.'s father Henry 1821, his approximate birth date, to minimize further confusion) According to notes from Melanie, extracts from the Kings County Chronicle report that Henry Millie Died January 7, 1891, in his 71st year at Ballymooney, Geashill, (which was where H.H. was born per his death certificate, and per his obituary in 1917 in Kelowna, B.C.). Henry's wife Mary Jane died May 20, 1899, aged 68. According to the letter dated January 1, 1920 from Aunt Margaret Ellen McDowell (H.H.'s sister) to her niece Emma Millie McGarrity (Melanie's grandmother), the Millie's settled in Scotland. Emma Millie McGarrity's grandfather's grandfather (ie: Henry Millie's grandfather) had 4 sons, John, Tom, Andrew and Robert. The letter says that all 4 went to Ireland. Tom Millie was Henry Millie's father according to this letter. This marriage record above is consistent with this information. I was previously unable to find a Millie family in Scotland, or anywhere else which included 4 sons named John, Tom, Andrew and Robert, let alone one which would fit the requisite time frame. With the new LDS British Vital Records collections however I found the following family in Fife with the right collection of sons. Better still, the unusual name of the mother make it virtually certain, for me anyway, that the son Thomas, born 1796, is went to Ireland, as presumably did the other sons as described in Ms. McDowell's letter. The following lists the 6 sons of Henry Millie (yes, yet another one) and Magdalene Rumgay (note the name): 1. MILLIE, John Bir 1791 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdalene Rumgay 2. MILLIE, Andrew Chr 1793 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 3. MILLIE, David Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 4. MILLIE, Henry Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 5. MILLIE, Thomas Chr 1796 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdaline Rumgay 6. MILLIE, Robert Chr 1798 Scot Fife Ceres Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdalene Rumgay I found the marriage of this Henry and Magdalene on the LDS FamilySearch website: Marriage: Magdalene RUMGAY; Sex: F; Spouse: Henry MILLIE; Marriage: Abt. 1790; Banderran, Ceres, Fife, Scotland; Film # 457767 I also found the following birth record of Magdalene-I presume it is her, how many can there be?: Magdalan RUMGAY; Sex: F; Christening: 1 September 1765, Cameron, Fife; Parents: Andrew RUMGAY, Mary Mackie. Reference: Batch # C114122, 1695-1819, Call # 1040151, Printout # 6900431. The real proof that Thomas of this family went to Ireland lies in the marriage record below: LATIMER, William Wife: Magdalene Rumgay MILLIE ; Marriage Date: 23 Oct 1847 Recorded in: St Peter, Dublin, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration; Husband's Father: James LATIMER; Wife's Father: Thomas MILLIE Source: FHL Film 101286 Dates: 1847 - 1847 Magdalene Rumgay Millie of Dublin Ireland, daughter of Thomas Millie, MUST be the granddaughter of Henry Millie and Magdalene Rumgay of Fife. There surely can't be another Thomas Millie, of the same generation, who would name his daughter Magdalene Rumgay. Since we know that Thomas, father of Henry 1821, and grandfather of H.H Millie was born in Scotland, and moved to Ireland, and had brothers named Andrew, John and Robert, and there are so few Millie's generally, let alone in Ireland, he must be the same person as the father of Magdalene Rumgay Millie of Dublin, and she is an aunt of H.H. Millie and his siblings. Also note that like Henry 1821, she was married in Dublin, and only 4 years before Henry 1821. Next, who did Thomas marry? Who was Henry 1821's mother? Well, the LDS website has a marriage record for a Thomas Millie and Mary McWattie, 9 December 1818, Dundee, Angus, Scotland (batch # M112824, Source Call # 0993401, Printout call # 6902959). Is this the correct Thomas? Here we go back to the letter Margaret McDowell wrote in 1920 to her niece, Emma Millie. The transcribed copy Melanie sent says: There was a slip of paper enclosed in this letter from Aunt Maggie McDowell and this is the info as follows: "PRIVATE and don't tell acquaintances, does no good. My father's Grandfather committed suicide from loss of an awful large sum in speculation and I believe he was a Millie, French, but I may be mistaken, he may have been McQuatty." So yes, Thomas married Mary McWattie in Dundee. Margaret McDowell's father was Henry 1821, and his grandfathers would have been Henry Millie (married to Magdalene Rumgay) and Mary McWattie's father. This reference proves that this is the correct spouse for Thomas. Again searching the LDS site, we find a record for the christening of Henry Millie, 10 October 1819, Dundee, Angus, Scotland; father-Thomas Millie, mother-Mary McWattie (batch # C112827, Source Call # 0993425, Printout call # 6900646) So Melanie, I think we have you back to Scotland: 1. Henry Millie married Magdalene Rumgay in Fife Scotland in 1790. 2. Thomas, born 1796 in Ceres, Fife, Scotland, married Mary McWattie, 9 December 1818, Dundee, Angus, Scotland. 3. Henry Millie born 10 October 1819, Dundee, Angus, Scotland, married Mary Dempster 1851 in Dublin 4. Henry Herbert Millie (H.H. Millie) born February 1863 in Ireland, emigrated to Canada early 1880's, married Caroline Sarah Mills, abt. Feb. 1900 in Manitoba 5. Emma Lily Millie born abt March 6, 1901, married Joseph Patrick McGarrity, 1919 6. Lawrence Patrick Dempster McGarrity, born 1924, married Jean Anderson 7. Melanie McGarrity I think this is pretty accurate based upon these published records. If you are energetic, you should order the microfilms from the LDS and copy the records yourself, ideally taking a print or the original registers. Not only will this document the facts, but the original registers may have additional information not picked up on the LDS indexes. The next question is what happened to the other brothers of Thomas who went to Ireland, who were their children and grandchildren, and did Thomas have any other children besides Henry 1821 and Magdalene. Bob's Henry Thomas Beale Millie (H.T.B.) was born September 14, 1862, in Kilkenny, Ireland, and emigrated to Canada around the time of H.H. and his brothers. H.T.B.'s parents were Robert Millie and Elizabeth Beale. (Although born in Ireland, I have always held out to Bob that he is Scottish in origin: Millie's all come from Scotland, and the south of England (perhaps French before that, but that is all beyond me), and H.T.B. was Presbyterian, basically a Scottish Protestant religion.) Was this Robert another son of Thomas, and a brother of Henry 1821 and Magdalene? Or was he a son of one of Thomas' brothers, Andrew, John or Robert, and a first cousin of Henry 1821 and Magdalene? I think given the scarcity of Millie's generally, and in Ireland in particular, these Irish Millie's of Scottish descent must be connected, and H.T.B. and H.H. were cousins, sharing common grandparents in either Thomas Millie and his wife ??, or in Henry Millie and Magdalene Rumgay. The common names, Henry, Henrietta, Robert and Thomas are all there (H.T.B also had a sister Henrietta). All were Presbyterian, indicating Scotch origin, and all came from the counties around Dublin. If I were a betting man, that's where I would put my money. Best regards David NOTE 2./ An Account of the Advance of the 7th Fusiliers of London by Alexander Campbell @ http://library.usask.ca/northwest/campbell/campbell.html The 7th Fusiliers, a battalion of militia which was headquartered in London, Ontario. This unit was called into active service on April 1, 1885 and, within a week, had embarked on their journey west -- a journey made more arduous by the gaps in the railway above Lake Superior. After stops in Winnipeg and Swift Current, the 7th Fusiliers did not reach the area of the fighting until after General Middleton's forces had defeated the Métis at Batoche. The unit was one of many which served to protect the Northwest Field Force's lines of communication. The 7th Fusiliers left for their return journey to Ontario in mid-July without ever seeing combat.

Jacobs) Terms The medal was originally approved for presentation to soldiers taking part in the suppression of the Rebellion of 1885, but only to those who served west of Port Arthur. Award of the medal was also approved for some of the volunteers who participated in key actions, including the crew of the steamer "Northcote" which was recognized for its services at the Battle of Batoche, and members of the Prince Albert Volunteers who fought at Duck Lake. A grant of 320 acres of land or scrip of $80 were also awarded to these recipients. The North West Mounted Police (NWMP) were initially excluded from receiving the medal. Those serving in the NWMP during the Rebellion (prior to July 3, 1885) were made eligible in 1887, but were not awarded accompanying land or scrip. During the 1930's surviving NWMP veterans of the Rebellion received $300 grants in lieu of the land or scrip that originally had been denied to NWMP recipients. Bars Saskatchewan: Awarded to all those who took part in any or all of the main encounters during the rebellion. These took place along the Saskatchewan River at Fish Creek, Batoche, Cut Knife and Frenchman's Butte. (Batoche): Medals have been found with an unofficial bar for the battle of Batoche. Description A circular, silver medal, 1.42 inches in diameter. Obverse A diademed and veiled effigy of the Queen Victoria, facing left, with the legend: VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX. (Identical to the Egyptian Medal.) Reverse The legend: NORTH WEST / 1885 / CANADA appears in three lines within a wreath of maple leaves. Mounting A plain, straight, suspender is attached to the medal with a double-toe claw. Ribbon The slate grey (blue) ribbon is 1.25 inches wide, with crimson (0.25 inch wide) stripes, 0.125 inches from each edge. Naming The medal was issued to military recipients unnamed, but a considerable number were named locally. Those later awarded to the NWMP were engraved with the recipient's name prior to presentation. Dates The medal was authorized on 24 July 1885, for issue to military personnel on 18 September 1885. A Canadian Order-in-Council of December 13, 1996 recommended that the NWMP receive the medal. This recomendation was accepted by the British Government on February 16, 1887.

Cemetery: LONDON (MOUNT PLEASANT) CEMETERY NOTE 10./ Historical Perspective: The Year Was 1885 The year was 1885 and the flow of settlers to western Canada increased greatly with the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. And in Canada's North-West Territories there were rumblings of a rebellion. In what is now Saskatchewan and Alberta, three groups had grievances with the Canadian government in Ottawa. The Metis, descendants of fur traders and indigenous peoples, were concerned about legal claim to their land; white settlers were waiting for official property titles necessary to secure loans and felt their interests weren't represented; and the starving First Nations peoples who had been promised farming equipment and aid were angry that treaties weren't being observed. The rebellion, which would only last for two months, was led by Louis Riel, a Metis who had fought for the rights of Manitoba residents during the Red River uprising in 1869-70. He formed a provisional government and armed forces. These forces clashed with government troops at Duck Lake and although the Metis claimed this first victory, the rebellion was subdued by the end of May, and Louis Riel was arrested and hung for treason. In the United States, anti-Chinese sentiment was on the rise following the California gold rush, which had brought more than 100,000 Chinese to American shores. In September of 1885, violence erupted. In a Union Pacific Coal Mine in Rock Springs, Wyoming, there was a dispute over who had the right to work in a particularly rich area of the mine. Paid by the ton, white workers rioted, burning the Chinese quarter of town, and killing twenty-eight Chinese miners. The perpetrators were never prosecuted and Army troops had to be called in to protect those Chinese who wished to return to their homes. In Chicago, Sarah E. Goode, a former slave, became the first African American woman to be awarded a patent from the U.S. government for her design of a “cabinet bed.” Her invention could be used as a cabinet by day, but opened into a bed for sleeping. In June of 1885 the U.S. received a package--actually two hundred and fourteen packages. In them was the Statue of Liberty, waiting to be assembled on Bedloe’s Island. The statue would be unveiled in late October of 1886. Great strides were made in the field of medicine in 1885, when Louis Pasteur successfully treated Joseph Meister for rabies with his new vaccine.

16717	NOTE 1./ Edward I, nicknamed "Longshanks" due to his great height and stature, was perhaps the most successful of the medieval monarchs. The first twenty years of his reign marked a high point of cooperation between crown and community. In these years, Edward made great strides in reforming government, consolidating territory, and defining foreign policy. He possessed the strength his father lacked and reasserted royal prerogative. Edward fathered many children as well: sixteen by Eleanor of Castille before her death in 1290, and three more by Margaret. Edward concentrated on an aggressive foreign policy. A major campaign to control Llywelyn ap Gruffydd of Wales began in 1277 and lasted until Llywelyn's death in 1282. Wales was divided into shires, English civil law was introduced, and the region was administered by appointed justices. In the manner of earlier monarchs, Edward constructed many new castles to ensure his conquest. In 1301, the king's eldest son was named Prince of Wales, a title still granted to all first-born male heirs to the crown. Edward found limited success in extending English influence into Ireland: he introduced a Parliament in Dublin and increased commerce in a few coastal towns, but most of the country was controlled by independent barons or Celtic tribal chieftains. Edward's involvement in Scotland had far reaching effects. The country had developed a feudal kingdom similar to England in the Lowlands the Celtic tribal culture dispersed to the Highlands. After the death of the Scottish king, Alexander III, Edward negotiated a treaty whereby Margaret, Maid of Norway and legitimate heir to the Scottish crown, would be brought to England to marry his oldest son, the future Edward II. Margaret, however, died in 1290 en route to England, leaving a disputed succession in Scotland; Edward claimed the right to intercede as feudal lord of the Scottish kings through their Anglo-Norman roots. Edward arbitrated between thirteen different claimants and chose John Baliol. Baliol did homage to Edward as his lord, but the Scots resisted Edward's demands for military service. In 1296, Edward invaded Scotland and soundly defeated the Scots under Baliol Ð Baliol was forced to abdicate and the Scottish barons did homage to Edward as their king. William Wallace incited a rebellion in 1297, defeated the English army at Stirling, and harassed England's northern counties. The next year, Edward defeated Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk but encountered continued resistance until Wallace's capture and execution in 1304. Robert Bruce, the grandson of a claimant to the throne in 1290, instigated another revolt in 1306 and would ultimately defeat the army of Edward II at Bannockburn. Edward's campaigns in Scotland were ruthless and aroused in the Scots a hatred of England that would endure for generations.	PLANTAGENET, Edward I (Longshanks) (I10597)

16722	Note 1./ Henry McColloch was of the distinguished Craigs Castle family. (per Alabama Houston history) Note 2./ Henry McCulloch, a merchant of London, in association with Arthur Dobbs and others, received grants in 1735 for 60,000 acres on Black River and subsequently grants for more than a million acres in the back country of North Carolina, subject to certain conditions as to settlement which were never carried out completely. The first settlement on the McCulloch lands was made in 1736 in Duplin County. The earliest settlers of Duplin were Scotch Irish and Swiss. In 1762, McCulloch claimed that he was entitled to 71,160 acres in Duplin County. The McCulloch grants were the source of much dispute before the Revolution. Of these lands, 56,969 acres were confiscated during the Revolution and sold by the State for £10,275-11-10. C. R., V, xxxii-xxxv, VI, 773; R. D. W. Connor, Colonial-Revolutionary Periods, 167; S. A. Ashe, History of North Carolina, I, 252-254 Note 3./ About the year 1736 this part of the Country, (then the uper part of New Hanover County) was first Setled by Emigrants from the North of Ireland and some Dutch from Switzerland;— Henry McCulloh Esq. of London, having purchased a Tract of land from the Crown, Containing 71,160 Acres lying in the uper part of New Hanover County, between the No. East branch of Cape fear River and Black River. Encouraged a Number of Irish and Dutch to come over from Europe to Settle his lands,3 with a promise of certain Conditions to give them Titles to certain Portions of it.—Their first Settlements were at Soracta4 on the No. East River, and at the lower end of Goshen, (then called Woodwards Chase,) And on the Grove, where Duplin Court House now Stands; About the same time, and soon after, a Number of families Emigrated from Roanoak, Meherrin,5 and Elcewhere, and Setled on Cohera, Six Runs, Goshen, and No. East.—The Country being then New; The Range fresh and luxuriant, and the Country abounding with wild Game, their Principal object then was Raising Stock and Hunting.— At the first forming of this County, which then Included both Duplin and Sampson, it contained but about 360 white Poll Taxables, and very few Negroes. At the Commencement of the Revolutionary War it contained about 900, or 1000 White Poll Taxables very few of them were then Emigrants from Europe Note 4./ Soracte is encountered in the records as early as 1744. Henry McCulloch gave it as his North Carolina address Note 5./ In 1755, 628 taxables comprising 460 white men and 168 male and female blacks and mulattoes were reported. White taxables were reported as 848 in 1765, 883 in 1766, and 1,071 in 1767. Note 6./ In 1786, a tract of 100 acres lying on the west side of North East River on lands of Dr. William Houston, was incorporated as the town of Sarecto. Charles Ward, John Hill, James Outlaw, Samuel Houston, David Murdough, George Miller, and John Matchel were appointed commissioners “for the further designing, building, and improving the said town Note 7./ Henry MCCULLOH Esqr. was born about 1702/3 in England. He signed a will on 31 Oct 1778 in England, Canterbury. The Will names Elizabeth, [Elizabeth Green*] Henry Eustace, James McCulloh of Duplin NC (to whom he gave money, slaves and land). Henry Eustace and a Robert Boyd were Executors. The Will was proven in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on July 16, 1779. The will refers to Henry Eustace as "my beloved son" but does not indicate the family connection to James. Elizabeth Green was his housekeeper following the death of wife Penelope. The document I sent is a part of a Trust set up for Elizabeth by Henry on Jan 1, 1777 NOTE 8./ Eleventh Generation <> Henry McCulloh of England, the London Merchant, was born about 1700, the son of James McCulloh of Grogan, Scotland. He may have lived at some point in Northern Ireland December 13, 1736 and May 22, 1740, Henry Eustace McCulloh received grants to 1,200.000 acres of land in the province of North Carolina from the King of England. June 24, 1738. Henry McCulloh was granted 72,000 acres of land in the area of Duplin and Sampson Counties by George II. He received vast acreages elsewhere making him the premiere land speculator in NC during the colonial period. 1740 Mr. and Mrs. McCulloh and family landed at Charleston and by Sept. 1741 were in Wilmington. He was on his plantation at Socrate in Nov. 1744. 1746 As I understand, agents of Henry McCulloh secured from the Crown the twelve 100,00-acre tracts (see above, the 1,200,00 acres mentioned) and each tract of 100,00 acres was further divided. All of these tracts were in the Piedmont.. Named as grantees were 16 people but the bulk of the land ended up in the possession of Henry McCulloh. Among the grantees were three of Henry McCulloh's children: 25,000 acres to James McCulloh of Sarecta, 12,500 acres to Penelope McCulloh of Sarecta, and 12,500 acres to Henry Eustace McCulloh Jr. of Sarecta. Another grantee was Henry McCulloh's nephew, Dr. William Houston, one of Duplin's best known citizens. 1747 Henry had returned to England, Turnham Green, in the county of Midlesex. Staying behind when Henry returned to England was a McCulloch named James. (This James is felt to be his grandson, son of James) At some point this James married a daughter of William Taylor and continued to make his home in Duplin County. Before leaving for England, Henry vested power of attorney in Alexander McCulloh, his cousin. Alexander lived most of his life in Halifax County. 1760 Henry's son Henry Eustace McCulloh was "called to the bar" in London and in 1761 his father sent him back to NC as his attorney. 1767 Henry was forced to surrender his unsold acreage and Henry Eustace McCulloh, his son purchased 16,000 acres to become Duplin's largest landowner. 1767 Henry Eustace McCulloh returned to London, came back to NC in 1772 and in 1773 returned to London, never to return.to NC. Jan. 12, 1774 a letter from Felix Kenan in NC to Henry Eustace McCulloh gave indication he was aware that father Henry McCulloh was "in health' and that "Mr. James McCulloh and family is well He has got a daughter born" 1777 The state gave the McCullohs until October 1778 to return and claim their lands. 1778 Henry Eustace McCulloh crossed the Atlantic for the fourth time, got as far as New York and then had to return to England. 1779 NC confisticated his remaining land. 1779 Henry McCulloh died in England 1807 Udell, wife of Henry Eustace McCulloh, informed the Claims Commission in England that Henry Eustace was confined to an Asylum at Clapton after becoming deranged. He is reported to have died shortly after.	MCCULLOH, Henry (I2601)

NOTE 2./ 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.

(BBD2008) NOTE 5./ HISTORICAL reference: The Fourth National Census, 1901 The first census of the young nation of Canada was taken in 1871, four years after four colonies became Canada. Manitoba and British Columbia joined Canada in 1870 and 1871 and therefore missed being included in the census. By 1901, the year of the fourth census, there were seven provinces, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia, and the Territories, a vast area that included what became Saskatchewan, Alberta, the Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Government officials planning censuses increased the number of questions every time; for example, there were twelve columns to be completed on the form in 1891 and thirty-one in 1901. All the additional information is a benefit to genealogists, although I wish two columns from 1891 had been retained--the ones asking for the birthplaces of the individual's father and mother. Their absence is partially compensated for by the addition of questions about origin, nationality, and date of immigration. Also useful for genealogy is the addition of columns for date and place of birth, as well as another for the exact date of birth. The 1901 census also seeks information about the work or employment of each person and how much they earned. Beginning with the name of each person enumerated, this is the list of columns: Name of each person in household 31 March 1901 Sex Colour Relationship to head of household Single, married, widowed, or divorced Month and date of birth Year of birth Age at last birthday Country or place of birth (If Canada, include province and add "r" or "u" for rural or urban.)

16733	Note 1./ On August 1, 1781, British Major Craig left Wilmington for New Bern to punish those who would not declare for the king. Major Craig had 250 regular British professional troops and 80 Tories. (These 80 Tories were the same guys that Col. Kenan had chased out of the county.) Early on August 2, Col. Kenan got notice of his approach and make such preparation for defense as he was able by hastily throwing up a slight breastwork, it was inadequate for the purpose intended. At the very instant when Major Craig made the attach on our breastwork with his cannon, we were attached in the rear by Capt. Gordon with about 60 horsemen, 10 of which were British Dragoons and two companies of infantry. They had made a circuitous march through the woods and were close upon our rear before being discovered. Confusion and dismay was the immediate consequence. The Militia broke and quit their post before one half of them had discharged their guns. Col. Kenan and some of his officers made every exertion they could to rally the men again, but to no purpose. Our ammunition, baggage, provisions etc. fell into the enemy's hands. Eight or ten of our men were wounded and made prisoners, none were killed. The British had one man killed there. Two days afterwards Craig marched up to the Grove (Now Kenansville) and encamped at Col. Routledge's house, lay there about three days, collected some cattle, destroyed some crops of corn, burned Capt. James Gillespie's and Lieu. Henry Houston's Houses, and destroyed such of their property, as they could not carry away. Then they marched on towards New Bern, committing depredations and enticing Negroes to desert their Masters and go with them. They were followed and harassed by some Militia from Duplin, Onslow, and Dobbs Counties. Capt. Gordon of the British Dragoons was killed on the way by some of the Onslow men. This happen the first week of August 1781. Thus two British Armies marched through Duplin in the year 1781. After they were gone, their trace was scarcely perceivable, we on their approach retired out of the way and as soon as they had passed by, we returned to our houses, which we frequently found plundered and our stock driven off. After this the Tories made frequent attempts to embody both in the western and eastern parts of the county, but by the execution of Col. Kenan, Col. Moore, Capt. Gillespie , and other offices, they were often dispersed with loss as they attempted to collect together. About the latter end of September 1781, the Tories were collecting on the Cohera when Col. Moore with Captains Williams, David Dodd, and Stephen Miller went out in search of their camp, surprised and dispersed them without sustaining any loss in Col. Moore's party, four of the Tories were killed in that action. They never made any considerable head in Duplin afterwards. The spirit of the Tories was now broke, they generally came in and surrendered them selves up to the Government and complied with the requisitions of the law by going into or finding a substitute for the Army of the United States. Middleton Mobley, their leader, being abandoned by all his deluded followers was obliged to leave the county, he was afterwards taken in Martin County and brought back to Wilmington, tried, condemned, and executed. At the Battle of Eutaw Springs (Sept. 8, 1781) in South Carolina Capt. Joseph Thomas Rhodes from Duplin, took a company of about 40 raw recruits (raised in Duplin) that behaved with as much personal bravery and intrepidity as any that were in that engagement, they had joined the army but a few days previous to the action. When the line was formed for action, Capt. Rhodes had his post assigned to him on the main road leading down Santee, towards the Springs: General Greene in person observed to Rhodes, that he expected the enemy would endeavor to force our lines at that place, and if he could maintain his ground he might depend on being reinforced in a very short time. According to the general's expectation, the battle became violent in that part of the line, but the promised reinforcements never came till a very late stage of the action. The men under Capt. Rhodes' Command, behaved with the utmost order and bravery and sustained considerable loss; the reinforcements when they came, took the ground of the left, where at that time, the enemy began to retreat. Rhodes then with what men he had left and with the remains of Captains Goodman and Porterfield's companies (Both Captains being killed) advanced near the brick house and attacked the British Artillery and took possession of several field pieces, one of which they kept. The others were retaken by British reinforcements of a superior strength in number. During the whole of this action, which is said to be the hottest and most bloody for the number of men engaged, that occurred during the Revolutionary War, the men under Capt. Rhodes's Command, manifested such undaunted bravery as is seldom surpassed by old disciplined Vitrons. During this Action, only Captain Rhodes and thirteen of his men, came out unhurt. The others being killed or wounded and of those that came out unhurt, only three of them had no marks of the ball or bayonet. After the war terminated, in June of 1784, the County of Duplin was divided by a line running from the head of Rockfish Creek, where the road crossed Bull Tail Branch, nearly north, crossing Stewarts Creek at the bridge and Turkey near the old Court House, and Goshen at the Mouth of Young's Swamp. All west of said line was erected into a separate county named Sampson....

Nearby is Old Providence Cemetery, where most of the older Matthew's were buried. NOTE 8./ The Year Was 1780 Historical time frame: The year was 1780 and the American Revolution wasn't going well for the Americans in the South. British forces captured Charleston and 5,400 American troops garrisoned there. During the siege, South Carolina Governor John Rutledge managed to escape and when word reached the British General Cornwallis, he sent Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton to chase Rutledge and troops under Colonel Abraham Buford who were escorting him to North Carolina. Tarleton's men caught up with Buford's troops near the Waxhaws District six miles south of the North Carolina state line, as Governor Rutledge continued north. Buford's men put up a brief fight during which Tarleton's horse was shot from under him. As the American troops began to surrender, Tarleton's men, thinking he had been killed began renewed their attack on the surrendering Americans. More than one hundred men were killed outright and perhaps another hundred died of their wounds shortly after. Up to that point, most thought that the South was going to remain loyal to Britain, but the Waxhaws Massacre became a rallying point for the rebels, with "Tarleton's Quarter" becoming synonymous with "no mercy." The divisions in the South were apparent in the Battle of King's Mountain, which was fought between two American forces--Tories under the command of Major Patrick Ferguson, and the "Overmountain Men," American frontiersmen from what is now Tennessee and parts of Virginia. The Americans surrounded the Tories and this time it was they who gave "no quarter" to the surrendering Tory troops. Eventually American officers were able to reign in the troops and the battle was over. The defeat was a turning point in the Revolution in the South and forced General Cornwallis to retreat further south. To the north, a British spy was captured with correspondence revealing that Benedict Arnold, who had recently been given command of West Point, planned to surrender it to the British. When news that the spy had been caught reached Arnold, he fled to the safety of a British ship and became a brigadier-general for the British, siding with them for the remainder of the war. There was trouble in England as well. In 1778 a Catholic Relief Act had been passed, which reversed some of the Penal Laws of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It allowed Roman Catholics to join the armed forces with an oath amenable to Catholics and gave them the ability to hold longer leases on land. It also ended the requirement that a Catholic distribute his lands evenly among his sons upon his death. The Catholic Relief Acts weren't popular with some Protestants though and in 1780 Lord George Gordon established the Protestant Association in 1780. In June of that year an estimated 60,000 people marched on the House of Commons demanding the Relief Acts be repealed. The huge crowd turned violent and a week of rioting left two hundred and ninety people dead, and devasted Roman Catholic churches and related buildings, as well as the homes of prominent Catholics and supporters of the legislation. Troops had to be called in to end the rioting. Twenty-five of the leaders of the riot were hanged, but Gordon was found "not guilty" of treason. May 19th was a dark day in New England--literally. A low-lying dark cloud that at times had a yellow and at times reddish hue descended on New England and was noted from Maine to as far south as New Jersey. It was darkest around northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and Maine, where it became so dark that candles needed to be lit to see. The cause is thought to have been a combination of low clouds that mixed with smoke and ash from a forest fire, but at the time it wasn't known and the event caused panic for many. New England's dark day was a minor event though in comparison to the hurricane season of 1780. Eight storms struck in various parts of America and the Caribbean. British fleets off American shores took heavy hits during several storms. (Hurricanes in the 1780s were the cause of more British Naval losses than battle.) The worst storm struck on October 10th devastating Barbados and the Windward Islands, and claiming an estimated 22,000 lives.	MATHEWS, RS Philip (I2219)

16737	NOTE 1./ Point of Interest not relating at this time to Houston County and Houston surname in general: HOUSTON 1854 U.S. Gazetteer, H, p.502 hews'ton, a county in the S. W. central part of Georgia, has an area of 875 square miles. The Ocmulgee river, navigable by steamboats, bounds it on the E., the Echaconnee creek flows along the northern border, and it is drained by Mossy, Big Indian, Sandy Run, and Lumpkin's creeks. The surface is nearly level; the soil is of limestone formation, very fertile, and extensively cultivated. Cotton, Indian corn, wheat, oats, rice, and sweet potatoes are the staples. By the census of 1850, this county produced more cotton and sweet potatoes than any other in the state. There were raised 19,362 bales of cotton; 662,600 bushels of corn; 46,830 of oats, and 188,224 of sweet potatoes. There were 6 grist mills, 10 saw mills, 1 cotton factory, and 1 woollen factory. It contained 24 churches, and 616 pupils attending public schools. The South-western railroad passes through the county, and the Muscogee railroad has its eastern terminus in it. Named in honor of John Houston, governor of Georgia in 1778. Capital, Perry. Population, 16,450, of whom 6526 were free, and 9924, slaves.

The beginning of the Long Depression is typically marked by the crash of the Vienna stock market, which sent ripples across Europe and eventually the United States with the fall of Jay Cooke & Company. The Cooke investment bank was heavily invested in the overbuilt railroad system which was beginning to fail. With the fall of this prominent company, a financial panic ensued and the New York Stock Exchange had to close for ten days. Railroads, factories, banks, and businesses had to close their doors resulting in skyrocketing unemployment rates. The Long Depression would last into the 1890s. There were other smaller scale disasters in 1873. The British SS Atlantic out of Liverpool (with a stop at Queenstown) hit a submerged rock en route to New York and was wrecked in heavy seas off Nova Scotia. It is estimated that 545 of the 952 passengers perished. In Baltimore, Maryland, a fire began in the factory of Joseph Thomas and Sons and spread over ten acres of the city. Photos of the fire and aftermath can be found online at the Maryland Historical Society. A cholera epidemic swept through Birmingham, Alabama. Below is an interesting excerpt from a report from Mortimer H. Jordan, who was secretary of the Jefferson County Medical Society of Birmingham, Alabama, at the time of the epidemic (found on the website of the Reynolds Historical Library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham). The treatment adopted was the opium and mercurial. When the stomach seemed so inactive that nothing made any impression upon it, an emetic of mustard, salt, ginger, and pepper, suspended in hot water, in many cases produced a warm glow over the surface of the body in a few moments. . . . Diuretics produced no good results. No condition in life, sex, or age escaped. The sucking babe and those of extreme age suffered alike from its ravages. Before closing this paper, justice demands that we should briefly allude to the heroic and self sacrificing conduct, during this epidemic, of that unfortunate class who are known as 'women of the town.' These poor creatures, though outcasts from society, anathematized by the church, despised by women and maltreated by men, when the pestilence swept over the city, came forth from their homes to nurse the sick and close the eyes of the dead. It was passing strange that they would receive no pay, expected no thanks; they only went where their presence was needed, and never remained longer than they could do good. While we abhor the degradation of these unfortunates, their magnanimous behavior during these fearful days has drawn forth our sympathy and gratitude. Further north and west, Jesse James and the James- Younger gang robbed a Rock Island train near Adair, Iowa. This first train robbery netted the gang more than $2,300, but was most likely a disappointment for the gang. They were expecting a $100,000 gold shipment, but that shipment had been switched to another train at the last moment. North of the border in Canada, the Dominion Parliament had more lawful goals in mind when it established the North-West Mounted Police, the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Canada was growing and in 1873 Prince Edward Island joined the federation as Canada's smallest province. In music, the song Home on the Range was born (Daniel Kelly & Brewster M. Higley). The tune went on to become the state song of Kansas and is known around the world.	HOUSTON, CSA John Dallas (I512)

16739	NOTE 1./ Richard I, the Lion-hearted, spent much of his youth in his mother's court at Poitiers. Richard cared much more for the continental possessions of his mother than for England - he also cared much more for his mother than for his father. Family considerations influenced much of his life: he fought along side of his brothers Prince Henry and Geoffrey in their rebellion of 1173-4; he fought for his father against his brothers when they supported an 1183 revolt in Aquitane; and he joined Philip II of France against his father in 1188, defeating Henry in 1189. Richard spent but six months of his ten-year reign in England. He acted upon a promise to his father to join the Third Crusade and departed for the Holy Land in 1190 (accompanied by his partner-rival Philip II of France). In 1191, he conquered Cyprus en route to Jerusalem and performed admirably against Saladin, nearly taking the holy city twice. Philip II, in the meantime, returned to France and schemed with Richard's brother John. The Crusade failed in its primary objective of liberating the Holy Land from Moslem Turks, but did have a positive result - easier access to the region for Christian pilgrims through a truce with Saladin. Richard received word of John's treachery and decided to return home; he was captured by Leopold V of Austria and imprisoned by Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. The administrative machinery of Henry II insured the continuance of royal authority, as Richard was unable to return to his realm until 1194. Upon his return, he crushed a coup attempt by John and regained lands lost to Philip II during the German captivity. Richard's war with Philip continued sporadically until the French were finally defeated near Gisors in 1198. Richard died April 6, 1199, from a wound received in a skirmish at the castle of Chalus in the Limousin. Near his death, Richard finally reconciled his position with his late father, as evidenced by Sir Richard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: "The remorse for his undutifulness towards his father, was living in him till he died; for at his death he remembered it with bewailing, and desired to be buried as near him as might be, perhaps as thinking they should meet the sooner, that he might ask him forgiveness in another world." Richard's prowess and courage in battle earned him the nickname Coeur De Lion ("heart of the lion"), but the training of his mother's court is revealed in a verse Richard composed during his german captivity:	ENGLAND KING, Richard I (Coeur De Lion) Of (I10730)

16742	NOTE 1./ Sampson Mathews was a member of Col. Andrew Lewis's force of militia wh o responded to Gov. Dunmore's call for war against the indians who were h arassing the frontier. Again, quoting from Waddell's Annals of Augusta C ounty: "Sampson Mathews was commissary for the regiment of Colonel Lewis. Math ews and his men drove a herd of cattle and took along a load of rum. Be cause the subsistence of the men consisted mainly of beef, which were d riven afoot, he was titled 'Master driver of cattle.' It took 19 days to reach the mouth of the Kanawha River. They arrived 1 O ctober 1774. Colonel Lewis waited 9 days for Lord Dunmore and troops to a rrive. A courier then arrived with a message from Dunmore which said th at he would not join forces with Lewis. Dunmore ordered Lewis to march d irectly against the Indians on the Scioto River. The Battle of Point Pl easant was fought the next day, 10 October 1774."

SAMUEL HOUSTON OF DUPLIN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Records of a Samuel Houston appear in Duplin County as early as OCT 1766. This Samuel Houston was apparently a son of William Houston, Sr. See Note for Dr. William Houston, Esq. On 18 APR 1771, Samuel Houston was granted a patent for 100 acres in Duplin County located on the East side of the Northeast Branch of the Cape Fear River and "below Soractey land". The grant joined land already owned by Samuel Houston and bordered the river. [Patent Book 20, page 661). This deed proves Samuel Houston was born 1750 or earlier. On the same date William Houston was issued a patent for 100 acres adjacent to Samuel Houston. [Patent Book 20, Page 683). This is presumed to be Dr. William Houston, later Esquire. Soracte, or later Soracta, was a town founded by the Houstons, with Samuel Houston one of the commissioners of the town. ROSTER OF NORTH CAROLINA SOLDIERS IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION includes, on page 219, #2333, Samuel Houston, of Wilmington District. The only Samuel Houston who was residing in the counties that comprised Wilmington District was Samuel Houston of Duplin County. #1334, Edward Houston, of Wilmington District, also of Duplin Co., was also listed as as RW soldier. The following data regarding Samuel Houston was found in DUPLIN COUNTY [NORTH CARLOLINA] COURT OF PLEAS AND QUARTER SESSIONS, ABSTRACTS OF MINUTES, PART 1, 1784-1787, (c) 1978, and PART 2, 1788-1791, (c) 1979. Compiled by Leora H. McEachern; publishe by Duplin County Historical Society. Thursday, 19 OCT 1784: "Court met at 9 o'clock according to adjournment. Present: Worshipful William Houston, Sr., Col. Thomas Routledge, Joseph Dickson, Col. James Kenan and Sam'l Houston, Esquires." The list of Justices was given for each day the quarterly court met, usually five days or less. Samuel Houston was named at about half of the court sessions. On 19 JUL 1785, Elizabeth Thomson, widow of William Thomson, was appointed executrix of his estate, with William Hubbard and Samuel Houston as bondsmen. Samuel Houston was the person who made the list of tithables in his district for most years beginning either in 1784 [year the census was ordered by the General Assembly] or in 1785. The Militia Captain for his district in 1786 and some succeeding years was [William ] Hubbard. In 1787 the Court Minute specified that the list of taxables was to be taken by "Samuel Houston, Esquire". A 22 OCT 1788 deed from John Brommel to Samuel Houston was proved by Griffith Houston. 24 OCT 1788: Samuel Houston, William Hubbard, and others to be Jurymen at next session of the Superior Court in Wilmington, 6 DEC [1788]. 22 APR 1789: reference to Samuel Houston, Surveyor. It is uncertain whether this was Samuel Houston, Sr. This could possibly have been a second Samuel Houston. Samuel Houston, Jr., was mentioned in a record dated 1782, but was not mentioned again until 1797.. 20 JAN 1790: William Houston deeded six slaves to Samuel Houston (two deeds). 20 OCT 1790: Samuel Houston deeded 300 acres land to Nathan Waller. 20 APR 1797: Samuel Houston, Jr., appointed overseer of the River from Roger's Landing to Limestone Bridge and to have Samuel Houston's six slaves, named, and others. This Samuel Houston, Jr., was apparently a legal adult, or born 1776 or earlier. The Samuel who was owner of the slaves was apparently Samuel Houston, Sr., Esquire. 18 OCT 1797: Samuel Houston, Jr., George E. Houston and Fredereick Smith, Jr. were ordered by the Duplin County Court to be Searchers for Capt. Jacob William's District. This record would appear to apply to a young Samuel Houston. [George Eustace Houston has been reported by at least one researcher to have been a son of Henry Houston, son of Dr. William Houston, Sr. This record indicates a birth year of 1776 or earlier. Mrs. DuPree reported a birth year of 1772 for George E. Houston..] As of 1797 the records of Duplin County, NC, did not clearly indicate the presence of more than two Samuel Houstons. The records of Duplin County do not seem to collaborate the report by descendants that Samuel Houston of Duplin County had migrated there from Rowan County, NC. The children of Samuel Houston of Rowan County and Duplin County, as purported in a DAR application, appear to have been the children of Samuel Houston, Sr., Esquire, who had resided in Duplin County since before 1766 and probably since his birth in the 1740s. [In the 1740s this territory was in New Hanover County.] Samuel Houston, Esquire, was enumerated on the 1790 census of Duplin County, with two white males of age 16 or over, one WM age less than 16, four while females, and 16 slaves. The only other Houston house- holds that were enumerated in Duplin County in 1790 were Dr. William Houston, with the Edward Houston household nearby or adjacent, and the William Ann Houston household. If there were more than one Samuel Houston in the county, they were not heads of households. The households of Peter Houston and James Houston were found in 1790 in Sampson County, formed 18 MAR 1784 partly from Duplin County. The 1790 census of Duplin County suggests that Samuel Houston, Esquire, had at least two sons and three daughters still residing at home. This matches the configuration of the family of Samuel Houston who was purported by Mrs. Marth Louise Kistler Whiteman in her 1952 DAR membership application to have been from Rowan County and Duplin County. [DAR National Number 419990. The DAR used information from DAR #117860 to verify the data submitted by Mrs. Whiteman. A copy of DAR #117860, with all supporting documents, should probably be obtained.]] On the 1800 census of Duplin County there was a Samuel Houston, age over 45, or born 1755 or earlier. This was obviously Samuel Houston, Sr., Esquire. In his home were a wife, also age 45 or over, another female age 26-44, and another male age 16-25. The latter was probably Samuel Houston, Jr., who first appeared on the census of Duplin County in 1810, adjacent to Eliza Houston, age 45 or over, and near Elizabeth Houston, age less then 44 years. Eliza Houston was probably the widow of Samuel Houston, Sr. Elizabeth Houston could possibly be a either a spinster daughter or a widowed daughter-in-law of Samuel Houston, Sr., of Duplin County. http://home.hiwaay.net/~rts2/ancestry/d580.html#P1870 Ancestors of Susan Melinda Martin 72.

Box 526, Edinburg Drive, Fitzgerald, GA, 31750, has published a book entitiled PEOPLE OF PURPOSE, VOLUME II, DR. WILLIAM HOUSTON OF COUNTY ANTRIM, IRELAND AND DUPLIN COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA....., which includes some information about Henry Houston (b. aft 1790, Duplin Co., NC) of Dooly County, GA, and his descendants in southwest Georgia. Descendants of the several Samuel Houstons of Duplin County, NC, are not discussed, however. DuPree surmised that the elder Samuel Houston of Early County, GA, in 1840 may have been "the youngest brother of our older Henry Houston." That is, DuPree believed that the elder Samuel Houston of Early County, GA, in 1840, may have been a son of Dr. William Houston, born about 1715 in Ireland. Note 3./ ----Per Robert Strong, 119 Mystic Way, Madison, AL 35758-7113. 1997 Records of a Samuel Houston appear in Duplin County as early as OCT 1766. On 18 APR 1771, Samuel Houston was granted a patent for 100 acres in Duplin County located on the East side of the Northeast Branch of the Cape Fear River and "below Soractey Land". The grant joined land already owned by Samuel Houston and bordered the river. [Patent Book 20, page 661] This deed proves Samuel Houston was born 1750 or earlier. On the same date, William Houston was issued a patent for 100 acre adjacent to Samuel Houston. [Patent Book 20, page 683] This is presumed to be Dr. William Houston, later Esquire. Soracte, or later Soracta, was a town founded by the Houstons, with Samuel Houston one of the commissioners of the town. ROSTER OF NORTH CAROLINA SOLDIERS IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION includes, on page 219, #2333, Samuel Houston, of Wilmington District. The only Samuel Houston who was residing in the counties that comprised Wilmington District was Samuel Houston of Duplin County. #1334, Edward Houston, of Wilmington District, also of Duplin County, was also listed as a RW soldier. (There are also a Grifford and a Henry Houston listed as Sampson-Duplin Revolutionary War Soldiers in the NC Militia - LM) The 1786 Duplin County tax list suggests that Samuel Houston, of Duplin County possibly had a wife, three sons, and six daughters in 1786. The following data regarding Samuel Houston was found in DUPLIN COUNTY [NORTH CAROLINA] COURT OF PLEAS AND QUARTER SESSIONS, ABSTRACTS OF MINUTES, PART 1, 1784-1787, (c) 1978, and PART 2, 1788-1791, (c) 1979. Compiled by Leora H. McEachern; published by Duplin County Historical Society. Thursday, 19 OCT 1784: "Court met a 9 o'clock according to adjournment. Present: Worshipful William Houston, Sr., Col. Thomas Routledge, Joseph Dickson, Col. James Kenan and Sam'l Houston, Esquires." The list of Justices was given for each day the quarterly court met, usually five days or less. Samuel Houston was named at about half of the court sessions. On 19 JUL 1785, Elizabeth Thomson, widow of William Thomason, was appointed executrix of his estate, with William Hubbard and Samuel Houston as bondsmen. Samuel Houston was the person who made the list of tithables in his district for most years beginning either in 1884 [year the census was ordered by the General Assembly] or in 1785. The Militia Captain for his district in 1786 and some succeeding years was [William] Hubbard. In 1787, the Court Minute specified that the list of taxables was to be taken by "Samuel Houston, Esquire". A 22 OCT 1788 deed from John Brommel to Samuel Houston was proved by Griffith Houston. 24 OCT 1788: Samuel Houston, William Hubbard, and others to be Jurymen at next session of the Superior Court in Wilmington, 5 DEC [1788]. 22 APR 1789: reference to Samuel Houston, Surveyor. It is uncertain whether this was Samuel Houston, Sr. This could possibly have been a second Samuel Houston. Samuel Houston, Jr., was mentioned in a record dated 1782, but was not mentioned again until 1797... 20 JAN 1790: William Houston deeded six slaves to Samuel Houston (two deeds). 20 OCT 1790: Samuel Houston deeded 300 acres land to Nathan Waller. 20 APR 1797: Samuel Houston, Jr., appointed overseer of the River from Roger's Landing to Limestone Bridge and to have Samuel Houston's six slaves, named, and others. This Samuel Houston, Jr., was apparently a legal adult, or born 1776 or earlier. The Samuel who was owner of the slaves was apparently Samuel Houston, Sr., Esquire. 18 OCT 1797: Samuel Houston, Jr., George E. Houston and Frederick Smigh, Jr. were ordered by the Duplin County Court to be Searchers for Capt. Jacob William's district.

Wales is a land of soft spoken, music-loving poets, a people famous for their bards, Eisteddfods (Music Festivals) and their choral groups. After the Romans vacated the British Isles at the end of the 4th century, the Welsh or Ancient Britons were left in sole possession of all of England, all the way north to the banks of the Clyde. Their most distinguished leaders were Ambrosious, and later in the 5th century, King Arthur of the Round Table. The Saxons forced them westward into the mountains of what is now Wales, north to Cumberland and southern Scotland, and into Cornwall to the south. The first recorded King of Wales was Rhodri Mawr, or Roderick the Great who ruled from his seat in Anglesey. He died in 893. On his death, he gave Wales to his three sons, Anarawd became King of North Wales, Cadalh became King of South Wales and Mervyn became King of Powys, or mid Wales. The ancient history of the name Mathew also emerged from these same Welsh chronicles, woven into the prosaic tapestry of the ancient Welsh heritage. It was first found in Glamorganshire where they were seated from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. Researchers reviewing various manuscripts such as the Domesday Book, the Pipe Rolls, Hearth Rolls, the Black Book of the Exchequer, the Curia Regis Rolls, finding that the name Mathew was found in many different forms. Althought the surname Mathew occurred in many references, from time to time the surname was spelt Mathews, Mathew, Matthews, Mathewes, and many of these versions are still in use today. These changes in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and son. It was not uncommon for a person in his or her own lifetime to be born with one spelling, marry with another, and have still another on the headstone in his or her resting place. The Norman Conquest of Wales was a disaster. A testimony to the indomitable Welsh fighting spirit is that there are more castles, or ruins of castles, to the square mile in Wales than anywhere else in the world. Border warfare against the Normans and their successors continued unabated until the end of the 14th centruy. The Welsh tactic was to thrust, then retire to their bleak mountain homes to plan their next attack. As peace gradually returned to theis picturesque country, the Welsh, attracted by the economic opportunities, moved eastward into the English cities. Hence, we now find Welsh surnames such as Mathew, Jones, Price, Edwards, Phillips, Evans, Pritchard, Morgan, Williams, Roberts, Davis and so on, to be amoungst the most populous families in England at this time. In this background of mountain greenery the Welsh family name Mathew emerged as a notable family name in Glamorgan where recorded as a family of great antiquity seated with manor and estates in that shire. This distinguished Welsh family claim descent from Yvorc, (Elvorach) or (Ivor bach), Lord of Torkelyn, in Anglesey, who came to the assistance of Jystyn Ap Gurgant, Prince of Glamorgan and received large grants of land in that county. Sir David Mathew of Llandaff became Grand Standard Bearer to King Henry VI and the name flourished in England by many branches, including the Mathews of Stanstead, Mathews of Tresunder in Cornwall, St. Kew in Cornwall, in Herefordshire, in Essex and Middlesex. However, the senior line remained at Castle Menych. They became the Earls of Llandaff. Prominent amongst the family name during the late middle ages was Earls of Llandaff NOTE 2./ Sir Knight Ieuan ap Griffith Gethyn: Taken from <> Mathew Ieuan Gruffydd, and his Grandson, David Mathew, introduced the surname which never ceased for twelve generations. They intermarried with the Flemings of Flemingston, Morgans of Tredegar, Gamages of Coity, Stradlings of St. Donats, and branched off at early periods into the vigorous families of Mathew of Castell Menych (Monk's Castle) and Mathew of Radir, Mathew of Aberaman and Mathew of Sweldom and Llancalach, all of whom are now extinct.

NOTE 2./ 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.

Cole Lewisburg, WV 1917 p. 67-72 THE MATHEWS FAMILY The name of Mathews, in any of its Anglo-Saxon variants, was adopted by the sons of Sir Mathew ap Jevan ap Griffyth Gethyn, tenth in lineal descent from Gwaettfoed, Prince of Cardigan, Wales, whose descendants were long deemed feudal barons of Llandaff, County Glamorgan, Wales. Sir Mathew was knighted in 1386 by Richard II, and his descendants took the name of Mathew or Mathews instead of the Welsh "ap" or "son of," the addition of the "S" signifying to the English the same thing as the Welsh "ap," the Irish "0" and the Scotch "Mac." The armorial bearings of the Mathews are numerous, Burke, in his General Armoury, devoting over two and one-half pages to the arms, crests and mottoes. In nearly all.the lion is an important figure, and it is said the lion was used as a distinctive device by the descendants of Gwaettfoed, Prince of Cardigan, long before the dawn of heraldry. The bearings used by the Mathews of Virginia and West Virginia are described as follows: Arms: Gyronny of eight, sable and gules, a lion rampant, or. Crest: A demi lion rampant, or. Motto: Heb-d-Dhuw Heb-d-dim a-d-Dhuw a-digon. (Without God nothing, with God enough.) Sir Mathew ap levan married Jenet, daughter of Richard Fleming, and had three sons: David, Robert and Lewis. The oldest, Sir David, was one of the most distinguished men of his time, having been made grand standard bearer of England by Edward IV, as a reward for saving his life at the battle of Towton, Palm Sunday 1461. Sir Davis died about 1480 and his tomb, ornamented with his full length figure in full armor. is still in existence in the cathedral in Llandaff, Wales. The second son, Robert, of Castell-y-Mynach, Wales, was the progenitor of the Mathews family in Virginia. His great-great-grandson was Tobias Mathew, archbishop of York, who married Frances Barlow, and whose son, Samuel Mathews, was horn in 1592 and was sent to Virginia by James I in 1622 as one of five commissioners "to make particular and diligent inquiry concern-mg the present state of the colony." In 1623 he was commissioned captain of a company to go against the Tanx Powhatan Indians. in 1625 he was appointed one of the king's council in Virginia, Sir Francis Wyatt being governor. He remained a member of that body until 1644.
