16751	NOTE 1./ The Wicker family of the S.C. Dutch Fork was founded by Matthias Wecker, who arrived with three children in 1752, coming on the Upton. Children listed at the time were: Wulrath 15; Henry 12; and Matthias 9. A notation of 2 April 1752 in the Church book of the village of Baiertal in the Neckar valley region of Germany indicate that Matthias Wecker with wife & five children left their home for the new land (Werner Hacker, "Kurpfalzische Auswanderer vom Unteren Neckar"). Matthias Wicker evidently lost his wife and two of his children in route from the German homeland to Rotterdam as not a life was lost on the Upton in route from Rotterdam to Charleston, SC.	WICKER, Mathias (I1398)
16752	NOTE 1./ There has been speculation that William's father's name was also William--predictable--and had a brother Jeremiah. The Jeremiah Chancellor line is fairly well documented. However, William b.between 1780 and 1790 in Cheraws, Chesterfield County, South Carolina, is not. There is a legend that William and Jeremiah had a brother Jackson (of the Chancellorsville, VA fame) who all came over together from England around the outbreak of the American Revolution and the father, being a loyalist sailed back to England alone because the sons sided with the American patriots. NOTE 2./ "Both William and Jeremiah Chancellor are in the Minute Books (1789-1800) of Lower Lynches Creek Baptist Church, which was located at Witherington Mill on Boggy Swamp in Darlington County, South Carolina ." <> NOTE 3./ Taken from CHANCELLOR GENEALOGY <> Our Chancellor family traces its roots to South Carolina. Beyond that, information becomes scarce due to loss of valuable records in courthouse fires. Our earliest traceable Chancellor is William Chancellor, Sr., born between 1780-1790 in Cheraws, Chesterfield County, South Carolina. He was a planter and farmer. Who was his father? The 1790 Census for Chesterfield County in the Cheraw District lists a William Chancellor and a Jeremiah Chancellor. Both William and Jeremiah Chancellor are in the Minute Books (1789-1800) of Lower Lynches Creek Baptist Church, which was located at Witherington Mill on Boggy Swamp in Darlington County . William Chancellor and Jeremiah Chancellor were in the 1800 Census for Chesterfield County. William's family included five males, seven females, six other free persons (except Indians) and eight slaves. Jeremiah's household consisted of himself, seven males, 6 females, 12 other free persons and two slaves. The 1810 Census for Chesterfield County also names William and Jeremiah Chancellor with a total of 2,402 persons living in the County. William Chancellor, James Chancellor and Moses Chancellor were in the Darlington District when the 1820 Census was taken. There were no Chancellors in a South Carolina Census after 1820. Hopefully, further research will turn up more information on William Sr.'s family. An interesting bit of information concerns a William and Jeremiah Chancellor of South Carolina being held on murder charges in 1811. William's wife was Mary and together they had 7 children: 1. Marion "Mary"--b. 1808, m. Samuel Fowler; d. 16 Nov 1895 2. Sarah--b. 1809 m. Pleasant Goolsby; d.18 April 1884; lived in Mississippi. 3. William, Jr.--b. 20 Dec. 1816; m. Amma G. Reavis; d. Mar 1870 4. Elizabeth--b. 20 Dec 1816; m. Young Asbury Allen; d. 16 Jun 1892 5. Harriett-b. 1819; m. Samuel Flowers; d?; was in Upson County, GA in 1850 with 3 children (believed to have moved to Alabama) 6. Nancy--b. 1823 m. John Allen 19 Apr 1838; lived in Upson County, GA; d. ? 7. Gilliam--b. 1824/1825; m. Josephine Reavis; moved to Webster Parish, Louisiana; d. after July 1880 Note that William and Gilliam Chancellor married REAVIS sisters and Young Asbury and John ALLEN married Chancellor sisters. There are also 2 cases of GOOLSBYs marrying ALLENs. William and his family moved from South Carolina to Georgia and are in the 1820 Census for Washington County, Georgia. His is listed as head of household under 45 years of age with two males under 10, two females under 10, 1 female between 10 and 16 and one between 26 and 45. A search of the Headright Index for the Monroe County Land Lottery shows one for William Chancellor. He was living in Morrison's District, Washington County, and drew land lot 43 in the 12th Land District, Monroe County. This was on 20 July 1824. The land lot was 202 1/2 acres. William Chancellor's will was written 29 Nov 1838 and proved 4 Mar 1839. It is our belief he died between those dates. It is also believed he was buried on the Chancellor home place in Monroe County, but no graves have ever been found. His wife Mary was in the 1840 Census as head of the household with one female between 30 and 40 years old and one male between 15 and 20 years of age	CHANCELLOR, WilliamSr (I11488)

He died the next day. His will was not probated until Feb. 15, 1894. Sons William (1786) and Raiford (1800) moved to Georgia. Son William died in Dooly Co. Georgia in 1845. Raiford returned to Sampson County near that time for a visit. his dad's estate had not been properly probated and Raiford was particularly annoyed at Travis Butler, who had married his sister Sarah. Raiford was married twice. His first wife died about 1835. His second wife Ellen was born in Ga. Raiford gave a power-of-attorney to his brother-in-law Eldridge Thornton to help resolve the issues. Apparently that did not hasten the resolution of Young Royal's estate as it was 50 years later before Young's will was probated.

16758	Note 1./ James Henry Revell was hung October 21, 1859 for killing William Wilburn Hammock and wounding George Adams, October 8, 1857, in Crawford Co., Ga. James Henry Revell was married to Sarah Caroline Childers on March 1, 1857 in Crawford Co., Ga. William Wilburn Hammock was married to Elizabeth F. Parham. Note 2./ According to the Taylor County Tracer, April 1999, Sarah Caroline Childers married James Henry Revell from North Carolina. James Revell was indicted in 1858 for the murder of William Wellborn Hammock and George Adams. The killing happened Oct 8, 1857. He was convicted for the murder of Hammock. He was held in the Crawford Co, jail for about two years while appeals were processed and executed on October 21, 1859. This brings into question the parentage of her two children. Joseph J. was probably born in late 57/early 58 and so could easily be Revell's son, but Martha was born after he'd been in jail for at least a year. In the 1870 census, the children are living with uncle Michael Childers, but with the surname of Harrison. In 1880, Martha is with her uncle Nathan Childers, Joseph has married. Sarah disappears from the census records after 1860. She either remarried (a Harrison perhaps, since the children have that name?), left the area or died.	REVELL, James H. (I2061)

This Melmer search was for any origin or heritage, and thus in 1881, puts the only Melmers in Canada, to be those directly associated to William Melmer. B./ Arthur is the only Child of the 9, that William Melmer fathered, to be born in Quebec. (1869) Alice b. 1873, was the 1st child of William and Louisa. Since Louisa was born in Quebec, it may be that William and Emma were living in Quebec at the time of her passing. Hence, the birth of Arthur and new marriage for William all occurring in less than a four year span between 1869 - 1873. C./ Alfred HENRY Male, Single, 21, English Origin, Born in Ontario, Occ: Factory Hand Religion: Presbyterian; is enumerated with the William and Louisa Melmer family of 9 children that we can account for.

Place of residence 35 St Paul`s St. North, Cheltenham. Marriage certificate on file. Married Emma Louisa Edwards in 1858 at Exeter, Devon. GRO ref 5b/139. The couple were married on 11th December 1858 at the Parish Church of All Hallows on the Walls, City of Exeter, Devon, by License, witnessed by Soloman Stoneman and Martha White. William was 23 year old bachelor Schoolmaster resident at Totnes at time of marriage whose father was George Melmer, Confectioner and Emma Louisa Edwards was a 25 year old spinster, from Allhallows, daughter of Robert Edwards, a Tailor. The couple signed the register themselves. William was a well respected school master and was presented with a Bible upon his departure for foreign shores in 1860, inscribed as follows: Presented to Mr William Melmer by the Committee of the Cheltenham British Schools as a token of their esteem for his fidelity, diligence and exemplary conduct in the discharge of his duties as a Pupil Techer in the Cheltenham School - signed on behalf of the Committee. From information received from Bob Millie, a direct descendent of William Melmer, it is understood that he emigrated to Canada in March 1860 on board SS James Foster Jr. out of Liverpool to New York. Passenger List for this ship only shows William Melmer, aged 25, Teacher, born England, no indication of him travelling with wife Emma. The couple had a child born December 1859 and who died 23 April 1860 in Cheltenham - after the emigration to Canada! The baby`s death was registered by it`s grandmother, Matilda Melmer, William`s mother. Emma Melmer did indeed emigrate however, perhaps at a different time, as she had her second child in Ontario in 1861. Emma died around 1870/72 and William remarried Louisa Henry Levine producing a further 5 children from this relationship. The family resided in 1881 at St Patrick`s Ward, Toronto, York, Ontario, which included four surviving children from William`s first marriage (the first child Emma Matilda having died aged 6 months in Cheltenham before their passage to Canada).

NOTE 4./ The Year Was 1902 The year was 1902 and America was on the brink of war with Germany over a crisis in Venezuela. Venezuela had defaulted on loans from Britain and Germany and in 1902 the two countries set up a blockade of Venezuelan ports. Fearing that Germany was going to use the conflict as an excuse to obtain Venezuelan real estate, American president, Theodore Roosevelt, dispatched Admiral George Dewey and much of the American naval force to the Caribbean on "maneuvers." Invoking the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt made it clear through diplomatic channels that Germany should submit to arbitration negotiated by the U.S. or face military action. Germany agreed to arbitration with less than twenty-four hours left before the deadline; the blockade ended in February of 1903. In Africa, the Second Boer War came to an end with the Treaty at Vereeniging. The Boers gave up their independence in exchange for a general amnesty, protection of the Dutch language, economic considerations, and eventual self-government. As the winter of 1902 approached, the United States was worried about having enough fuel. Most homes were heated by coal around the turn of the century, and a coal miners' strike in Pennsylvania had been going on since May. By October the situation was critical. President Roosevelt took the unprecedented step of inviting the United Mine Workers union and mine operators to the White House to negotiate a deal. The miners wanted a raise, shorter hours, and a recognized union. The initial meeting failed to end the strike and Roosevelt had to threaten to send in military forces to operate the mines. Everyone would lose if that happened, and the threat pushed both sides to compromise. The workers got a 10 percent raise and shorter hours, but the union was still not recognized. An avid hunter, Roosevelt went hunting in November of 1902 in Mississippi. Since he wasn't having any luck, one of his hosts tied a bear to a tree for him to shoot. Not willing to shoot the tethered creature, he told his benefactors to "Spare the bear." Later a popular cartoon depicted the event and an enterprising couple in Brooklyn, New York, created a soft bear toy--Teddy's Bear. The stuffed bear was a huge hit and teddy bears continue to delight children all over the world.	LIZMORE, Esther Mary (I5)

NOTE 2./ Historical Perspective thru the Presidency of the United States of America: 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.	MATHEWS, Bud C. (I1298)

St. Johns, N.F., December 14. Signor Marconi announced the most wonderful scientific discovery of modern times tonight in stating that he had received electric signals across the Atlantic ocean from his station in Cornwall, England. He explains that before leaving England he made plans for accomplishing this result, for while his primary object was to communicate with ocean liners in mid-ocean he hoped also to succeed in attaining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall is most powerful. He has an electric force, generated there, a hundred times greater than at his ordinary stations. Before he left England he arranged that the electrician in charge of the station which is located at Poldhu, should begin sending signals daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after having perfected his arrangements here. Signor Marconi arrive here a week ago Friday, selected Signal Hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as an experimenting station and moved his equipment there. Last Monday he cabled to the Poldhu station to begin sending signals at 3 p.m. daily and to continue until 6 p.m. these hours being respectively 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., St. Johns time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial wire by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus and to his profound satisfaction signals were received by him at intervals, according to the programme arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu. These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter "s" which, in Marconi's code is made by three dots, or quick strokes. This signal was repeated so frequently and so in accordance with the plan, arranged to provide safeguards against the possibility of a mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied that it was a genuine transmission from England. . . NOTE 3./ HISTORICAL REFERENCE 1913 The year was 1913 and there was turbulence in the Balkans. Following a coup in the Ottoman Empire, the first Balkan War continued with allied Balkan states defeating the Ottoman Empire. The peace treaty, signed in London on May 30, redrew the map lines of southeastern Europe. In June, Bulgaria, unhappy with the new boundaries, attacked Greece and Serbia in a short-lived effort to gain control over Macedonia. The Treaty of Bucharest ended the second Balkan War giving control of Macedonia to the Greek and Serbian allies. Tragedy struck on October 14 in Senghenydd, Wales, when an explosion ripped through a coal mine killing 439 men and boys in the worst coal mining disaster in Welsh history. The explosion left 205 widows and 542 children without a father. Postcards commemorating the disaster can be found online through the National Library of Wales. Wikipedia also lists the names of those killed in the disaster. The Coal Mining History Resource Center maintains a national database of mining deaths and injuries in the UK. The following month, across the Atlantic a powerful storm dubbed the "Great Lakes White Hurricane" took 235 lives and caused up to forty shipwrecks. Most of the casualties came from large freighters wrecked on Lake Huron. The NOAA website includes accounts describing thirty-five foot waves in succession, of the grisly sight of sailors washing up on Canadian shores following the storm, and in one interesting story where one of the "victims" walked in on his own funeral. Earlier that year in March, a catastrophic flood had brought disaster to Dayton and other cities in the Miami River valley. The flood took more than 300 lives and caused more than 100 million dollars in damage. Photographs accompany the story of the flood and aftermath in Dayton in this article from the Dayton Metro Library. In 1913, Thomas Woodrow Wilson succeeded William Howard Taft in the presidency of the United States. During that first year in office, one of the most significant pieces of legislation passed was the Sixteenth Amendment, which provided for the creation of an income tax. Crossword puzzles first came to fame in 1913 with the first publication of a puzzle by Arthur Wynne in the New York World on 21 December. They grew in popularity in the 1920s as they began appearing in other U.S. newspapers, eventually spreading across the ocean where they first appeared in the British Pearson's Magazinein February 1922. Another innovation that year was the zipper, patented by Swedish immigrant, Gideon Sundback. Originally patented for use on galoshes, it later spread to clothing items. NOTE 4./ Historical Note : The Year Was 1933 As the year 1933 dawned, the Great Depression was worsening, the U.S. was facing a near 25 percent unemployment rate, and businesses and banks were failing in large numbers. In his inaugural address, the new president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, told the country, "Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment." But in his first hundred days, he employed sweeping reforms in an effort to get the country back on track. "The New Deal" included a farm relief bill, a four-day bank holiday to address the banking crisis, financial reform, and repeal of Prohibition, among other things. Roosevelt also created the Civilian Conservation Corps, which employed thousands of young men between the ages of seventeen and twenty-four in various conservation projects, including forest fire fighting and prevention, erosion control (particularly vital during these Dust Bowl years), the protection of wildlife and habitats, and perhaps most notably, reforestation. Roosevelt also established the Tennessee Valley Authority, which dealt with the problems of flooding, deforestation, and erosion in the Tennessee River Basin, as well as harnessing water power to create energy. In Chicago, the Century of Progress International Exposition drew crowds despite the hardships faced by many. Around the world, other countries were also engulfed in depression. In Germany, the poor economic conditions helped pave the way for the rise of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Along with Hitler's rise to power, events of the year 1933 included the burning of the Reichstag, book burnings, and the creation of Dachau--the first Nazi concentration camp. Read an article about Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany in the The Chronicle-Telegram (Elyria, Ohio). Movie-goers tried to forget their woes as they went to see movies like Duck Soup, Morning Glory, Little Women, King Kong, and The Invisible Man. Popular songs were Stormy Weather, Gold Digger's Song (We're In the Money), and Forty-Second Street. The "Sheyboygan Press" (Sheboygan, Wisconsin), from 25 April 1933, advertised a five-pound box of soap chips for $.22, eggs for $.09 per two dozen, and Idaho potatoes for $.24 per fifteen lb. cloth bag. You could buy a new Frigidaire for $96.00 and Firestone tires for around $5.95.	HOUSTON, Willie Jay (I14)

He Was a Courtier and Diplomat and became a Roman Catholic in Florence in 1606. He was sent to Madrid as an Advisor to Prince Charles and Buckingham, 1623 and was secretary to Stafford in Ireland, in 1633. He was later suspected by he Puritans of being a Papal spy an drived abroad in 1640. He was a friend of Sir FRANCIS BACON, whose essays he translated into Italian in 1618. BACON'S ESSAYS OF FRIENDSHIP Were written for TOBIAS, JR. NOTE 2./ SIR TOBIAS, or TOBIE, MATTHEW (1577-1655), is remembered as the correspondent and friend of Francis Bacon. He was educated at Christ Church, and was early attached to the court, serving in the embassy at Paris. His debts and dissipations were a great source of sorrow to his father, from whom he is known to have received at different times 14,000, the modern equivalent of which is much larger. He was chosen member for Newport in Cornwall in the parliament of 1601, and member for St Albans in 1604. Before this time he had become the intimate friend of Bacon, whom he replaced as member for St Albans. When peace was made with Spain, on the accession of James I., he wished to travel abroad. His family, who feared his conversion to Roman Catholicism, opposed his wish, but he promised not to go beyond France. When once safe out of England he broke his word and went to Italy. The persuasion of some of his countrymen in Florence, one of whom is said to have been the Jesuit Robert Parsons, and a story he heard of the miraculous liquefaction of the blood of San Januarius at Naples, led to his conversion in 16o6. When he returned to England he was imprisoned, and many efforts were made to obtain his reconversion without success. He would not take the oath of allegiance to the king. In 1608 he was exiled, andremainedoutof England for ten years, mostly in Flanders and Spain. Hereturned in 1617, but went abroad again in 1619. His friends obtained his leave to return in 1621. At home he was known as the intimate friend of Gondomar, the Spanish ambassador. In 1623 he was sent to join Prince Charles, afterwards Charles I., at Madrid, and was knighted on the 23rd of October of that year. He remained in England till 1640, when he was finally driven abroad by the parliament, which looked upon him as an agent of the pope. He died in the English college in Ghent on the I3th of October 1655. In 1618 he published an Italian translation of Bacons essays. The Essay on Friendship was written for him. He was also the author of a translation of The Confessions of the Incom parable Doctor St Augustine, which led him into controversy. His correspondence was published in London in 166o.

During the siege of Petersburg Maj.-Geni G. K Warren, commanding the 5th corps, was sent on an expedition against the Weldon railroad, which connected Petersburg with Weldon N. C. Warren moved at 4 a.m. on the 18th, with his own corps and Spear's cavalry brigade, and about 7 o'clock encountered the Confederate pickets about a mile from Globe Tavern, a small station on the railroad; 5 miles south of Petersburg. Griffin's division, which was in advance, was formed in line of battle skirmishers were deployed and pushed forward, and a number of prisoners belonging to Dearing's cavalry brigade were captured. Ayres, division was then moved north along the railroad, the intersection of the Vaughan road being the objective point, but Dearing had reported to Beauregard that the Federals were in force at Globe Tavern, and after proceeding about a mile Ayres found Heth's division in position, with artillery, to dispute further progress. Heth opened fire with his battery, Ayres quickly formed his division in line of battle, Crawford's division was thrown to the right of Ayres to outflank the enemy, and Hofmann's brigade of Cutler's division was moved up to support the first line. After some sharp fighting Heth was driven back and Warren pressed forward to within a mile of the Vaughan road. Meade now sent word to Warren to hold on at all hazards, and ordered Maj.Gen. John G. Parke, commanding the 9th corps, to send forward reinforcements to assist Warren in retaining his hold on the railroad. Parke sent forward the divisions of Willcox Potter and White, and Mott's division of the 2nd corps, which was temporarily attached to the 9th. These troops were soon afterward followed by Gregg's cavalry division and 200 men to engage in the destruction of the track toward Reams, station. Beauregard also sent out reinforcements, consisting of three brigades of Mahone's division, W. H. F. Lee's cavalry and Pegram's artillery, all under command of Lieut.-Gen. A. P. Hill. On the afternoon of the 19th this force was concentrated at the Vaughan road junction for an attack on Warren, who had in the meantime moved up to within half a mile of that point. On the morning of the 19th Warren sent Bragg's brigade to the right, with instructions to support Crawford and establish connection with the skirmishers near the Jerusalem plank road. A little after 4 p.m. Heth attacked Ayres in front, while Mahone moved round Crawford's right broke through Bragg's line and struck Crawford's skirmish line and part of his line of battle in the rear. The skirmish line fell back and in doing so carried with it Crawford's line of battle and the right of Ayres' line. Crawford was surrounded and compelled to fight in all directions. The enemy pressed forward, confident upon victory, but just at this critical moment Willcox's veteran division arrived on the field. The brigades of Hartranft and Humphrey were ordered to the support of Crawford and the Confederates were driven back with considerable loss. In the melee Lyle's brigade of Crawford's division suffered heavily in prisoners, Gen. Hays, commanding Ayres' 1st brigade, was captured, and Crawford was at one time prisoner, but managed to escape. Humphrey and Hartranft now advanced and drove the enemy from the captured works, taking a battleflag and a large number of prisoners. White's division engaged Colquitt's brigade, drove it back and captured some prisoners. Warren reformed his line and moved forward, retaking all the ground that had been lost, and, pursuant to Gen. Meade's orders, intrenched "as close up to the enemy's works as he could get," though the next day he drew back about a mile to more open ground, where his artillery could be used to better advantage. At 9 a.m. on the 21st Hill's entire corps, part of Hoke's division and Lee's cavalry attacked Warren's new position. The Confederates opened with artillery, which was kept up for about an hour, when assaults were made simultaneously along the north and west of the Federal lines, but every attack was repulsed, the artillery doing good service, which demonstrated Warren's wisdom in falling back out of the woods. As the enemy fell back the Union skirmish line advanced and captured about 200 prisoners, besides 139 wounded that were brought in. Among the prisoners were 39 commissioned officers. Later inthe day Mahone assaulted the left of Warren's works with such energy that Hagood's brigade got inside the lines, though but very few of the men belonging to that command got out again, being captured in a body. The Federal loss during the four days' operations was 251 killed, 1,149 wounded and 2,879 missing. Most of the missing were those captured during the assault on Crawford on the 19th. The Confederate loss was not ascertained, but it must have been much heavier as Warren's troops buried 211 of the enemy's dead after the assault of the 21st.

16774	NOTE 1./ Tobias Mathew Tobias Mathew, 66th Archbishop of York, was born in 1546 in Bristol, and died March 29, 1628. He married Frances Barlow, dau. of William Barlow. He was brought up at Christ church, Oxford, D.D. and rose many steps by preferment. First Archdeacon of Wells, Priest of St. John's College, Oxford, Canon and Dean of Christ Church, Dean of Durham and lastly Archbishop of York, Sept. 11, 1606. Graduated at University College, Oxford, A.B. Feb. 1563/4. He was a member of Christ Church, taking degree of MA in July 1566. He was ordained the same year at which time he was much respected for his great learning, sweet coversation, friendly disposition, and sharpness of with. When Queen Elizabeth visted the University in Mary's Church on the 3rd of Sept., he argued in favor of an elective as against an hereditary monarchy. When the Queen left Christ Church on her departure from Oxford, he bad her farewell in and eloquent oration. His handsome presence and ready wit attrached the Queen's notice. He was an excellent preacher. The Queen continued her favor to him throughout her life and was equally kind to his wife, on whom she bestowed a fragment of a Unicorn's horn. His many offices included that of Dean of Durham in 1583, Bishop of Durham in 1595, Bishop of the Diocese and Archbishop of York. He had an admirable talent for preaching which he never suffered to lie idle, but used to go from one town to another to preach to crowded audiences. He kept an exact account of these sermons, by which it appears that he preached, when Dean of Durham, 321; when Bishop of the Diocese, 550; when Archbishop of York, 721; in all 1592. In his day, though renowned as a preacher, he was a statesman quite as much as a prelate. The advisors of Elizabeth and James felt that they could rely upon him to watch and guard the Northern Shires. He died March 29, 1628 and was buried in York Minster, where his tomb stands. The effigy now seperated, in the northside of the Presbytery. He married Frances Barlow, dau. of Sir William Barlow, Sr. who died in 1568, sometime Bishop of Chichester and Wells. She is described as a prudent and provident matron and died May 10, 1629, and is described further as being memorable for having a Bishop for a Father, four Bishops for her Brothers-in-law, and an Archbishop for her husband. Her four sisters married Bishops. She gave his Library of more than three thousand volumes to the Cathedral of York. The portrait of Tobias Mathew in Christ Church, Oxford, shows him as a small man with a beard and mustache turning gray. Frances Barlow had previously been married to Matthew Parker, son of Archbishop Matthew Park of Canterbury (1559-1575). Tobias Mathew was a friend of the Stuart family and was entrusted with the entertainment of Arbella Stuart of Bishopthorpe in 1611. As a politcal agent in the North, he forced recusants to conform to the Church of England NOTE 2./ Archbishop of York The Archbishop of York, Primate of England, is the metropolitan bishop of the Province of York, and is the junior of the two (A bishop of highest rank) archbishops of the (The national church of England (and all other churches in other countries that share its beliefs); has its see in Canterbury and the Sovereign as its temporal head) Church of England, after the Archbishop of Canterbury. His cathedral is York Minster in central (The English royal house (a branch of the Plantagenet line) that reigned from 1461 to 1485; its emblem was a white rose) York and his official residence is the Archbishop's Palace in Bishopthorpe. The Province of York includes the 12 Dioceses north of the (The interior part of a country) Midlands as well as the Diocese of Southwell Nottinghamshire) and the Diocese of Sodor and Man (the (One of the British Isles in the Irish Sea) Isle of Man). The Archbishop is also a member of the (The upper house of the British parliament) House of Lords. HistoryThere was a bishop in York from very early Christian times. Bishops of York were particularly present at the Councils of Arles and (An ancient city in Bithynia; founded in the 4th century BC and flourished under the Romans; the Nicene Creed was adopted there in 325) Nicaea. However, this early Christian community was later blotted out by the pagan (A member of a Germanic people who conquered England and merged with the Angles and Jutes to become Anglo-Saxons; dominant in England until the Norman conquest) Saxons. There was no important archbishop of York till the consecration of St. (Click link for more info and facts about Wilfrid) Wilfrid in 664. His successors acted as diocesan prelates until the time of Egbert of York, who received the ((Roman Catholic Church) vestment consisting of a band encircling the shoulders with two lappets hanging in front and back) pallium from Pope Gregory III in 735 and established metropolitan rights in the north. The sees of (A town in Kent in southeastern England; site of the cathedral where Thomas a Becket was martyred in 1170; seat of the archbishop and primate of the Anglican Church) Canterbury and York were long struggling for precedence, often leading to scandalous scenes of dissension. In the 11th century, for instance, there was an arrangement which lasted until 1118 that the archbishops of York must be consecrated in Canterbury cathedral and swear allegiance to the Archbishop of Canterbury. In the mid 14th century, Pope Innocent VI confirmed an arrangement that the Archbishop of Canterbury should take precedence with the title Primate of All England, and that the Archbishop of York should retain the style of Primate of England. Several of the archbishops of York held the office of (The highest officer of the Crown who is head of the judiciary and who presides in the House of Lords) Lord Chancellor and played some parts in affairs of state. As (Click link for more info and facts about Peter Heylyn) Peter Heylyn (1600–1662) wrote: "This see has yielded to the Church eight saints, to the Church of Rome three cardinals, to the realm of England twelve Lord Chancellors and two Lord Treasurers, and to the north of England two Lord Presidents." Walter de Grey purchased York Place in (The capital and largest city of England; located on the Thames in southeastern England; financial and industrial and cultural center) London, which after the fall of Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, was to become the Palace of Whitehall. Tobias Matthew 1606 thru 1628 Tobias Matthew, or Tobie (1546 - March 29, 1628), archbishop of York, was the son of Sir John Matthew of Ross in Herefordshire, and of his wife Eleanor Crofton of Ludlow. He was born at (An industrial city and port in southwestern England near the mouth of the River Avon) Bristol and was educated at (Prolific English writer best known for his science-fiction novels; he also wrote on contemporary social problems and wrote popular accounts of history and science (1866-1946)) Wells, (A county in southwestern England on the Bristol Channel) Somerset, and then in succession at University College and Christ Church, Oxford. He proceeded BA in 1564, and MA in 1566. He attracted the favourable notice of Queen Elizabeth I, and his rise was steady though not very rapid. He was public orator in 1569, president of St John's College, Oxford, in 1572, dean of Christ Church in 1576, vice-chancellor of the university in 1579, dean of Durham in 1583, bishop of Durham in 1595, and archbishop of York in 1606. In 1581 he had a controversy with the Jesuit Edmund Campion, and published at Oxford his arguments in 1638 under the title, Piissimi et eminentissimi yin Tobiae Matthew, archiepiscopi ohm Eboracencis concio apologetica adversus Campianam. While in the north he was active in forcing the (Someone who refuses to conform to established standards of conduct) recusants to conform to the Church of England, preaching hundreds of sermons and carrying out thorough visitations. During his later years he was to some extent in opposition to the administration of (The first Stuart to be king of England and Ireland from 1603 to 1925 and king of Scotland from 1567 to 1625; son of Mary Queen of Scots who succeeded Elizabeth I; alienated Parliament by claiming the divine right of kings (1566-1625)) James I. He was exempted from attendance in the parliament of 1625 on the ground of age and infirmities. His wife, Frances, was the daughter of William Barlow, bishop of Chichester. NOTE 3./ Tobias Matthew, Archbishop of York at the beginning of the seventeenth century, was particularly distinguished for his zeal and industry as a preacher, even after his preferment to a mitre. From September, 1583, when he was Dean of Durham, to the twentythird Sunday after Trinity, in 1622, a few years before his death, he kept an account of all the sermons he preached, the place where, the time when, and the distinguished persons, if any, before whom they were delivered. It appears from this record, that he preached, while Dean of Durham, seven hundred and twenty-one; while Bishop of Durham, five hundred and fifty; and while Archbishop of York, to the time above mentioned, seven hundred and twenty-one; in all, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-two sermons! At the end of each year, he set down how many sermons he had preached; and usually adds a lamentation that the number is not greater. Thus, at the end of 1619, he writes, 'Sum Ser. 32. eheu!' at the end of 1620, 'Sum. Ser. 35, eheu!' The state of the account for 1621, appears to have grieved him still more. 'An. 1621, sore afflicted with a rheume and coughe diverse months, so that I never could preach until Easter daye. The Lord foregive me!' It is supposed that there was scarcely a pulpit in the wide dioceses of Durham and York, in which he had not appeared	MATHEWS, Archbishop of York Tobias (I13666)

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.	WILKES, John (I142)

Before he left England he arranged that the electrician in charge of the station which is located at Poldhu, should begin sending signals daily after a certain date, which Signor Marconi would cable him after having perfected his arrangements here. Signor Marconi arrive here a week ago Friday, selected Signal Hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as an experimenting station and moved his equipment there. Last Monday he cabled to the Poldhu station to begin sending signals at 3 p.m. daily and to continue until 6 p.m. these hours being respectively 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., St. Johns time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial wire by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus and to his profound satisfaction signals were received by him at intervals, according to the programme arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu. These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter "s" which, in Marconi's code is made by three dots, or quick strokes. This signal was repeated so frequently and so in accordance with the plan, arranged to provide safeguards against the possibility of a mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied that it was a genuine transmission from England. . .

16796	NOTE 1./ David J. Thompson e-mail May 18, 2002: H.H. Millie's brother, 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.

16798	NOTE 1./ e-mail from Carol Cooper <> I am please to tell you that I have made quite a leap forward in the saga of Elizabeth Melmer-Cody and more importantly the elusive "Dr William Cody", who turns out to be a gentleman doctor by the name of Nelson T Cody!! From the link to the San Francisco Call Newspaper Vital Records for 1869-1895 you kindly sent me re Elizabeth Melmer-Cody's death in 1873 I spotted a little further down the page an entry for a marriage between N T Cody, Dr, and Elizabeth Melner (sic.) in 1873, San Francisco, together with an additional marriage entry for Dr N T Cody to a Jennie Mills in 1877, thus ..... Cody, Elizabeth Melmer... died in 1873 ... age -- ...1873D-613 Cody, N.T., Dr.... married in 1873 to Melner, Elizabeth ...1873M-524 Cody, N.T., Dr.... married in 1877 to Mills, Jennie ...1877M-273. It would appear from this that Elizabeth Melmer Murphy was married in SanFrancisco to Dr Cody, her second husband, and died the very same year, aged about 45 years. However this casts doubt upon the name written on the rear of the photograph from Tanis, i.e. Mrs William Cody, Aunty Betsy. At first I thought the entry above was from a poor transcription and that the "N" had been interpreted from the "W" for William, until I began to look into the census entries for the US 1880. I now realise that the addition of the word "William" on the rear of the photograph was probably to determine her relationship with William Melmer, her brother, and not the name of her husband as is now proven here. In the USA census entries for 1880 I discovered the entry for Nelson T Cody, Doctor/druggist, aged 52, with wife Jennie aged 35, present at King, Washington, USA. Nelson was born New York circa 1828, Jennie was Canadian, born circa 1845 - both of Scottish parentage	CODY, Doctor Nelson Towers (I160)
