Cemetery: LONDON (WOODLAND) CEMETERY NOTE 2./ British Meritorious Service Medal MSM ( Awarded to George W. Jacobs ) TERMS Years: 21 years service (awarded after discharge) Service: Permanent forces. Ranks: Warrant Officers and Senior NCOs Dates: 1902 to 1958 if enrolled before 01 September 1939 Bar: For additional acts of Gallantry. The medal was awarded to Warrant Officers and senior NCOs (Sergeant or above), who were discharged after 21 years service (18 if disabled), and had earned the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. The award was limited to 40 who could wear it at any given time. The number was increased to 75 in 1928 and to 100 in 1939. The medal was awarded for valuable and meritorious service. FOR GALLANTRY In 1916, the MSM was awarded to all ranks: duly recommended for the grant in respect of gallant conduct in the performance of military duty otherwise than in action against the enemy, or in saving, or attempting to save the life of an officer or soldier, or for devotion to duty in a theatre of war. The gallantry portion was cancelled on 07 September 1928 because the British Empire Medal now served this purpose. The King's Regulations and Order's of 1939 listed the MSM and stated that it could be awarded to a soldier of the active militia who is recommended on account of gallant conduct in the performance of military duty (not necessarily on active service) or in saving or attempting to save the life of an officer or soldier, or for devotion to duty in a theatre of war.

NAMING The recipient's rank, name, and regiment are engraved around the rim. RIBBON The crimson ribbon is 1.25 inches wide.

ISSUED The number of medals issued to Canadians, are as follows: For Service: 275 For Gallantry:1430 NOTE 3./ 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.	JACOBS, Captain Captain George William (I74)

16859	NOTE 1./ Cyrus and his wife Rebecca were buried in Woodland Cemetery in London, Ontario. Cyrus was a farmer and came to Westminister Township in 1819. He purchased 200 acres of Lot 19 in Con. 2 in 1835 which was originally patented to Ira Wooden from the Crown in 1825. His wife Rebecca was a cousin. Lot 19 was standing bush and Cyrus used the lumber to frame a 7-bedroom house, facing on Commissioners Road and a barn. In the clearing he grew grain and pastured his cattle. Commissioners Road had been built to facilitate east and west traffic through Westminister Township. The large house Cyrus built was frequently an over-night stop for travellers who received supper, sleeping accommodations, breafkast, and feed and water for their horses. By 1854, the London and Port Stanley Railway was buying land for the right-of-way and two and a half acres of the west half of Lot 19 were sold to the railway company. Having done this, a problem arose, because Cyrus could no longer get to that part of his property beyond the right of way, so in 1879 he sold to his neighbor on Con. 2, Elliot Grieve, eleven acres from the part south of the tracks. He later recovered some of this acreage with purchases in 1880 of ten acres and an additional five acres in 1885, from William E. Grieve on the east side of the tracks. Cyrus was an innovative farmer. The windmill which was mounted on top of his barn drew water from the dug well a hundred feet away to the barn using a jerk-line. He also installed a geared shaft that operated the root-pulper, for animal feed. Cement that was needed for building or for repairs was mixed by windmill power, but the men had to haul the gravel from the Themes River at the Meadow Lily Bridge with a team and wagon.

POSEY and 39 other persons.(1)Francis transported himself into MD in 1640, and a warrant was issued for land in what was Charles County.(2) In 1650 Francis POSEY demanded 50 acres "in right of his now wife whom he bought of Mr. Fenwick whose Servant she was being for her Transportation into this Province about 7 Years Since."(3) (1). Virginia land office patents 1:537. (2). MD Patents ABH:10, FHL microfilm 0,013,064. (3). MD Patents ABH:42, FHL microfilm 0,013,064 Francis POSEY died between 3 Mar. 1653 and 23 May 1654 in Charles Co., MD. He married Elizabeth, who probably died before 1669. There are claims that her maiden name was "FOSTER" apparently because William FERRAR claimed land for transporting 40 persons at the same time he claimed land for transporting Francis POSEY to Virginia. One of these was Elizabeth FOSTER. There are no indications that they even knew each other, much less that were transported at the same time, only that William Ferrar claimed land for them at the same time he did for others. There are also no indications that she could be indentical to the Elizabeth, last name unknown, that Cuthbert FENWICK transported into MD 3 years after Francis was already in MD. The other claim to Elizabeth's maiden name is HUMPHREY, based on the fact that John named a son HUMPHREY. Humphrey was a common given name in this time period in MD, and to make an assumption that was Elizabeth's maiden name without additional evidence is unwarranted.	POSEY, Francis (I10771)

16870	NOTE 1./ Huguenot History Review as researched by RAM 3-02-2007 Napoleon Bonaparte who died in 1824, was named as a General during the French Revolution. The French Revolution finally ended the 200 + years of persecution of the Huguenots. The persecution and flight of the Huguenots greatly damaged the reputation of France and Louis XIV abroad, particularly in England; the two kingdoms, which had enjoyed peaceful relations prior to 1685, became bitter enemies and fought against each other in a series of wars from 1689 onward. The Huguenots, as a class, were the bone and sinew of France. The nobility were wealthy, the merchants and manufacturers, both the prosperous, and poorer classes of the sober and industrious. It is estimated that the loss to France by the Huguenot persecutions, first and last, was about 400,000. Manufactures and the arts were paralyzed, and the whole country suffered from its effects for one hundred years. Louis and his predecessors sowed the vipers' eggs that a century later brought Louis XVI and his court to the guillotine. Thus, in a measure, did time avenge the martyred Huguenots. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the name Huguenot was applied to a member of the Protestant Reformed Church of France, historically known as the French Calvinists. Persecution of Protestants continued in France after 1724 (see article Persecution of Huguenots under Louis XV), but ended in 1764 and the French Revolution of 1789 finally made them full-fledged citizens. Over fifty thousand Huguenots escaped France between 1670 and 1710 and migrated around the world, including the Americas. The Huguenot presence in the city of Cork, Cork County, Waterford and Wexford, Carlow, Portarlington, western Ireland, and Dublin, with the more successful Huguenot families settling in those localities in the wake of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Summary quick FAQ: 1. What are the Huguenots? (sometimes spelt Hugenots) Huguenots practiced a form of Protestantism in France aligned with John Calvins theological view that salvation in the Christian religion could be found by reading the Bible and interpreting what you read yourself. You could go to heaven with your own individual faith without needing to go to any church. 2. When did it start? In the early 1500s and Louis XIV. 3. There have been hundreds of denominations of religions that have been forgotten. Why are they well known? The religion was against the Catholic and Monarchists systems of the time. The governmental system passed laws to restrict the religion as it may lead to civil war. (It did!) This resulted in many battles and the deaths of thousands of Huguenots over many years. The Huguenots held to their religion fervently and escaped France spreading to other many other countries. 4. What is the Edict of Nantes? Henry IV created the Edict of Nantes in 1598 to give the Huguenots a small amount of religious freedom. 5. What happened to the Edict of Nantes? It was revoked in 1685 and replaced with the Edict of Fontainbleau - laws that oppressed, stigmatized and penalized Huguenots. While not to the extent that the Nazi's attempted to commit genocide on Jewish people, the laws were similar in that it would remove the Huguenots by attrition. 6. Where are they now? Huguenots escaped France between 1670 and 1710 and migrated around the world. 7. What happened after that? The Promulgation of the Edict of Toleration ended the persecution of the Huguenots in France 1787. To Melanie: So it seems as though the dating of the artifacts in your possession from Napoleon, may would indicate the range of years of emigration of the Millie's from France to Scotland. ...... probably before 1789. We have a good idea of the movement into Ireland.	MILLIE, James (I5647)
16871	NOTE 1./ JAMES AND MARY ELLEN LEWIS Reproduced from Crisp County's History in Pictures and Stories published 1978 by Cordele-Crisp County Historical Society, Inc - pages 211-214. James Lewis and Mary Ellen Hutto Lewis were pioneers of this country. Three sons were born to this couple. They are: J. Bennie Lewis, Henry Lewis and Floyd Jackson Lewis. J. Bennie (1881-1954) married Daisy McAfee (1885-1948), daughter of Robert and Jo Ann McAfee. They resided in Longview, Texas. Six children blessed this home: L. C. (died on October 1974); J. B., Jr. (died in 1976); Herman (1905-1953); Ester Ruth; Lois; and Juanita. Henry Lewis had five children: Tom, Dorsey Lewis, Felton, Grady, and Lucilla Lewis Philmon. Floyd Jackson Lewis (December 11, 1885-March 31, 1960) married Lydia Arnold (August 18, 1886-November 30, 1960). Lydia is the daughter of Charles L. Arnold (1861-1915) and Minerah Hudson Arnold (1869-1911). Floyd and Lydia came to Crisp County by train from Crawford County to farm near Arabi, Georgia. They had a baby daughter, Myrtice. An infant boy, Jones Lee, was buried in 1908 in Crawford County. After leaving the Hamilton farm, they moved to the Clements Community. While there, they bought their first car, a Model T Ford, and didn't even know how to drive. Around 1926, they moved back to the Hamilton farm. While living there, the new Highway 33 was built. The older children helped with the farming and earned some spending money. They helped neighbors hoe crops, pick cotton and shake peanuts. At that time, everything was done by mules or by hand. In 1937 they bought the Surge farm near Wenona. In June of 1957, Floyd and Lydia celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary at this home.

16873	NOTE 1./ Jerome Tew is the author of the following article published in the Huckelberry Historian <> William Royal family. We know from a Duplin County marriage bond that Young Royal son of William married Edith Blackman on July 20, 1779. Edith was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Blackman. Joseph died in 1768 when Edith was five (5) years old. The account of this family was in the June 15, 1993 issue of this publication. Edith was born in 1763. Since court minutes do not exist in Duplin-Sampson before 1784, we do not know where Edith grew up. She must have spent some time in the eastern part or the Duplin part of old Duplin. As an orphan she likely was listed in the old Duplin court records that are lost. On Thursday October 12, 1775 Edith attended an estate sale of Mr. Joseph Rhodes of old Duplin. She was then 12 years old and at the age of wanting some things of her own. She bought a pair of black gloves for eight (8) shilling. Also attending was William Royal. He bought one item for 2 pds 5 shilling and 2 pence. We do not know if his eldest son Young, then about 17 was with him or not. We do know that four (4) years later Edith married Young Royal and became part or that Royal family. NOTE 2./ Young and Edith Royal had eleven children. Namely: Reason Oct. 14, 1780, Sally May 2, 1782, Sabra May 23, 1784, William Jun. 26, 1786, Wilson Oct. 18, 1788, Elizabeth Jan. 27, 1791, Mary (Polly) Jun. 19, 1793, Nancy Nov. 5, 1795, Rebecca Feb. 4, 1798, Raiford Jan. 26, 1800, and Josiah Royal born Apr. 13, 1802.

16874	NOTE 1./ Jonas William Jones About JONES, Jonas William William Jones was born Jonas William Jones to Samuel Jones and Elizabeth Fetch on 17 January 1831 in Brigstock Northamptonshire. He was christened at the Brigstock Independent Church on 13 June 1831. Samuel was an agricultural worker at Brigstock Parks on of the estates of the Gascoyne-Cecil family, Marquesses of Salisbury. He probably spent most of his life there. At the time of the 1841 census Samuel had 6 children, including William age 10. It appears that Jonas William used the name William most of his life. At the time of the 1851 census, William, then 20, had left the family home although he cannot be located any anyhere else. In 1852, William appears as a passenger Jonas Jonas aged 18 on the "Rajangopaul" arriving at Moreton Bay (this later became Brisbane) on 13/9/1852. On 27 February 1854, William married Martha Melmer at the Scots Presbyterian Church, Ipswich. They eventually had 10 children (Matilda Sarah, Maria Elizabeth, Martha Frances, Alice Ida, Clara Louise, Henry, Jemima Ellen, May Ann, Adelaide, Samuel William and William George). Interestingly, although his name is shown as William Jones on most birth records, several give him as Jonas William Jones. William died on 14 August 1908 at Raceview, Ipswich of enlarged prostate, haematuria and cystitis and exhaustion. He was buried at the Ipswich cemetary. The informant was Henry Jones, son, of Raceview. William`s occupation was shown as dairyman.	JONES, Jonas William (I5106)

16877	NOTE 1./ Letter from Marguerite Harriet Moloney, to Bob Millie, 7-27-02. " Grandma EE Jacobs used to tell us the story about when she went to join Grandpa at his post in India at the turn of the century. A coolie was taking her in a rickshaw, to join Grandpa. When it grew dark, the coolie refused to go further. Grandma had Granpa's corn cob pipe in her knitting bag. She held the bowl in her hand, put the stem against his ribs and told the coolie to keep on going, or she would shoot him! He went on to their destination in a hurry! " NOTE 2./ Histoical Note: The Year Was 1873 The year was 1873 and much of the world was entering into a long period of economic depression. 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.

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.

16887	NOTE 1./ Pulaski County GaArchives History .....Hartford 1935 <> In the east side of the Ocmulgee River, in Pulaski County, just opposite Hawkinsville, is a small village or hamlet located at the approach of the World War Memorial bridge. To the traveler passing through, the sight of two wooden stores and a few modest homes means nothing. Another view shows groups of enormous water oaks, clusters of immense cedars, probably more than a century old, and trees of blooming crape myrtle. This little hamlet is not a deserted suburb of Hawkinsville, as one might think, but it is all that is left of a once thriving city where men lived and prospered. It is known as "Old Hartford," one of Georgia's forgotten cities, yet a city with a history. One of the chief distinctions claimed by Hartford is the fact that when the State capital was moved from Louisville to Milledgeville, Hartford came within one vote of being the capital of Georgia. Hartford was in pioneer days a factor in the history and politics of Georgia. Many years ago it was one of Georgia's frontier towns situated at the head of navigation on the Ocmulgee River and an important point for political and military operations. In 1831, the Baptist Church at Hartford was incorporated. which indicates that there was probably a Baptist Church there before that (p. 83) date. The trustees at that time were: Furney F. Gatlin. Stephen Mitchell, Wright Lancaster, Michael K. Singletary. and John Wallace.	SINGLETARY, Michael K. (I5788)
16888	NOTE 1./ RAM Theory: I have David Erskine b. 1803, a brother John Erskine b. cir 1815 (Verified from August 08, 1850: Note from David Erskines Record Book that " My brother John commenced living with me") and a brother Thomas, b.October 18, 1812. I do not have my resource for Thomas listed, so I am immediately suspicious until I find that connection resource. My point here is that these 2/3 brothers range from 1803 to 1815, which is not a stretch for children born during this time, but the lack of any other siblings in between, is not congruous. It could not be because of the potato famines, because that first occurred cir 1820/1840/1850. What I am saying then is that I believe there would be other children. Here is my found reference to aforementioned brother Thomas Erskine. This was not connected ideally to our David and Anne, but was provided by an Irish researcher to one of the Thompson researchers: Public Records Office, Parish Records Office for Seagoe, Ireland, Reference: Mic/1/73, 74, 75 Burials: David Erskine of Tarson, buried March 20, 1834, aged 78. Janet Erskine of Tarson, buried 2, February, 1842, aged 66. Sarah Erskine, buried 7-4-1816, aged 63. Baptism: Thomas, baptised18-10-1812. Parents David and Janet Erskine, of Upper Seagoe. I have used these folks, ie David and Janet as the parents of our David w/o any real connective data. Thomas, brother/son, fell into the fold because of David and Janet. Seagoe looks to be about 10 miles from Portadown as best as I can make of it from an internet map. The strength of the surname Erskine in Scotland, and it's minimal frequency as a stand alone in Ireland, leads me to believe there is a connection Between David and Janet, even if it is not the one I have proposed here.

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.

16889	NOTE 1./ Recorded from Jacqueline B. Perrin Information: Notes for Henry Houston: 1/ This Henry Houston was named for his Uncle Henry Houston, brother of Edward Houston, in our ancestry. Records in NC refer to him as "Jr". 2/ This material comes from Sara Bryan Houston's father-in-law's file: Henry Houston and Elendor Stokes were married in Duplin, NC, in 1816. Three of their sons came to Georgia. Edward J., Henry, and George Houston came to Georgia after 1830. We find Edward J. Houston in Dooly County, there he married Lucy Royal, date not sure. After her death, he married her sister, Eliza Jane, September 11, 1860. They moved to Miller-Early County Line, where he died. He gave the land for the Houston Cemetery. He was a member of the new Hope Baptist Church and served in the Civil War. His brother, George, was living in Dooly County GA., in the 1850 census. Their mother, Eleanor Stokes, (born 1795, NC) was living with George at this time. We do not know where or when Henry, the father, died. We assume in Duplin County, NC. NOTE 2./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1818 The year was 1818 and the Convention of 1818decided the northern boundary of the United States and the southern boundary of Canada as being the 49th parallel, between the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota and the Rocky Mountains. The land west of the Rockies was under joint control of the U.S. and Britain. That boundary was settled in 1846 with the Oregon Treaty. South of 49th parallel, Illinois was admitted as the twenty-first state. Initially the northern boundary was set just below the southern end of Lake Michigan, but at a population of around 36,000, Illinois was short of the necessary 60,000 minimum required for statehood. Illinois Congressional delegate, Nathaniel Pope, suggested that it would make better sense to move the boundary northward to include the City of Chicago and the area upon which the I & M Canal would be built, connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River, and from there the Gulf of Mexico. In the South, the First Seminole War resulted from the escalation of conflicts between the Seminoles and settlers who were moving into Seminole territory. The Seminoles provided a sanctuary for escaped slaves and this provided additional fuel for the fire. Andrew Jackson pursued the Seminoles into Florida, which was then under Spanish control. His victory led to the accession of Florida to the U.S. the following year. In the Ohio River Valley, an epidemic of what was commonly called "milk sick" broke out and in October it claimed Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. At the time, the illness was attributed to many things, but only a few suspected the real culprit. It wasn't until the early 1900s that it was determined that milk from cows that had eaten snakeroot caused the illness. By then it had claimed many other victims, the majority of them infants. In literature, a young Mary Shelley's most famous book-- Frankenstein--was published. 1818 also marked the first time the Christmas hymn Silent Night was sung in the small Austrian village of Oberndorf.

NOTE 2./ Geashill Castle A castle existed at Geashill from c1200. The Book of Howth mentions that 'the Lord of Offalye builded the Castell of Geschell ' in 1307. The castle may have been erected on or near the site of an earlier castle. The photograph depicts the later manor house and the ruins of the earlier castle to the right of the house. NOTE 3./ Historical Perspective: The Year Was 1873 The year was 1873 and much of the world was entering into a long period of economic depression. 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).

16892	NOTE 1./ Summary of Ellis Island information on the Majestic arrival on May 21, 1908. 1. Four Lizmores, Frederick age 23 and Albert age 15, from Great Wakering, and Thomas age 32 and his wife Jenny age 25, from South end on Sea arrived at Ellis Island NY on 5-21-1908. The Majestics Port of Departure was Southampton, Southamptonshire, UK. 2. Steamship The Majestic: Steam turbine engine, triple screws, 56,551 gross tons, 100 feet wide, 950 (bp) feet long. Service speed 23.5 knots, 2145 Passengers (750 first class, 545 second class, 850 3rd class.) 3. Page #2 Steerage Passengers are line 7, Frederick Lizmore, and line 8, Albert Lizmore. Frederick indicates he has $62.00 on his person, but that his passage was paid for by his brother. Column 18 question requires a response to "Whether going to join a relativeor friend; and if so, what relative or friend, and his name and complete address. The answer Frederick gave was Brother Thomas Lizmore, London Ontario. 4. Page # 1 Second-Cabin Passengers are line 24 Thomas Lizmore, age 32, and line 25, Jenny Lizmore age 25. There are 3 parts to the question in column 17 that asks "Whether ever before in the United States: and if so, when and where?" Thomas indicates yes, 1906-1907, and an illegible location reply for the 3rd part. The reply to the column 18 question as noted above, has LONDON ONTARIO scrawled across the lines for 4 passengers total, including Jenny and Thomas. The other 2 passengers included were Arthur James Beadle, age 32, and his wife Louisa Beadle, age 32, both from Great Wakering. It seems to me that the Beadle surname rings a bell of some sort. It is highly unlikely that these two married couples of almost all the same age, from the Great Wakering area, would be randomly accounted for together as to the final destination of London Ontario.

16896	NOTE 1./ THE LUCIUS CHILDERS FAMILY Reproduced from Crisp County's History in Pictures and Stories published 1978 by Cordele-Crisp County Historical Society, Inc - pages 86-87. Lucius Hoy Childers was born the fifth child of Michael and Mary Elizabeth (George) Childre on June 9, 1864, in Crawford County. Michael Childre was one of six children born to a plantation owner, Nathan Childre, and his wife, Patsy. Nathan and Patsy Childre settled in Crawford County in the early 1800's. When Nathan died, he left the majority of his estate to his eldest son. Michael remained and was the caretaker of the house and share left to his stepmother, Martha, Nathan's second wife. Michael fought for the Southern cause in the Civil War. He died at the age of 38 while on a wagon train headed for Texas while they were passing through Alabama. His wife and children returned to Crawford County, Georgia, with some of her family to make her home near her relatives. Lucius was forced to quit school to help his 15-year-old brother and mother operate the farm. Their maternal grandmother was widowed and lived with them, also. When Lucius was 32, he married Nancy Lewis in Crawford County on December 18, 1894. She was the daughter of Zackariah Lewis. When Zack was a very young man, he came to Georgia as a slave caretaker and stayed. He purchased land and became a wealthy man. He had a large 2-story house. Nancy's mother was Sarah Anne Moncrief, the daughter of David and Sarah (Pollard) Moncrief. David and Sarah had seven sons, all of whom served in the Confederate Army, three of them losing their lives. They also had four daughters. Zack Lewis was married to Mary Jane Moncrief, and later, to Sarah Anne, her younger sister. Zack and Sarah Anne had nine children: Soloman (Sol), Nancy Childers, Jackson (Jack), Rufus (Ruf), Edna Bagwell, Ella Mae (Dolly), Annie Posey, Isabelle (Issie) Stevens, and Bessie Eaves. Lucius and Nancy lived on Zack Lewis's place and farmed from 1894 until they moved to Crisp County in December of 1912. They and their 7 children moved on a wagon with a cow and calf tied behind it. The trip took three days and 2 nights. Their children played along the way, walking part of the time to rest from riding in the jolting wagon which was loaded with all their possessions. The older boys rode along the side and helped drive the wagon. The nights were spent under and around the wagon with a camp fire providing warmth and protection. The second night, they stayed at Dooly County Camp Grounds. The third day, they arrived in Crisp County about sundown at Sol Lewis's Nancy's older brother's home. This farm is still intact today about 10 miles south of Cordele on Hwy. 33 and remains in the Lewis family. Sol and Ellen Lewis's daughter, Josie (Lewis) Sego, live there in the old home. When the 1913 spring planting season arrived, Lucius, Nancy, and their family settled in one of Sol Lewis's sharecropper houses and planted a crop. They lived and farmed in Crisp County from that time until their deaths.	CHILDERS, Lucius Hoy (I40)
16897	NOTE 1./ The Marchant family by MARY BETH MARCHANT <> Joseph Sumner, Jr. served in the war of 1812, while living in Emanuel Co., Ga. He married in Emanuel Co., Ga, and in 1825 he moved to Irwin Co., Ga. and settled near Rebecca, Ga. In 1830 he moved and settled about 1 mile south of Little River near Chula, Ga. Later he moved again settling about 3 miles northeast of Sumner, Ga. In 1854, Worth Co. Ga, was created and this cut his plantation into Worth Countuy, Ga. This is where he died and is buried in the family cemetery near his home. Notes for Joseph Chestnutt Sumner Jr: Born in Burke County, Georgia, son of Joseph Sumner, Sr, R.S. He served in the War of 1812 as a Private in the Militia Detachment under command of Lieut. John Griffis, Jan.12,1814 to Mar. 13, 1814, and was stationed at Fort Chancey on the frontier in Tattnall County. He moved in 1825 from Emanuel to Irwin county and located near the present town of Rebecca. About five years later, he moved again and settled what became known as the Calvin Land place about one mile west of Little River on the Albany-Irwinton Road. He sold out there and settled the farm in more recent years known as the Joe M. Sumner place three miles northeast of Sumner, Ga. He and his wife died there; he died June 13, 1880, and his widow died March 30,1882. They were buried in the family cemetery on the home place. They were cut out of Irwin county into Worth County in 1854. Mr. Sumner served as the Justice of the peace in the 867th district, Irwin County, 1833-1841, and was Justice of Worth Inferior court, 1854-1856. ("History of the Sumner Family" by William S. Sumner updated 1977 by Sumner History Book Committee Rose Printing Company, Tallahassee FL.pp.7-9,309. ) ("History of Wiregrass" Folks Huxford.) NOTE 2./ BIOGRAPHY: Mr. Sumner served as the Justice of the peace in the 867th district, Irwin County, 1833-1841, and was Justice of Worth Inferior court, 1854-1856. NOTE 3./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1818 The year was 1818 and the Convention of 1818decided the northern boundary of the United States and the southern boundary of Canada as being the 49th parallel, between the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota and the Rocky Mountains. The land west of the Rockies was under joint control of the U.S. and Britain. That boundary was settled in 1846 with the Oregon Treaty. South of 49th parallel, Illinois was admitted as the twenty-first state. Initially the northern boundary was set just below the southern end of Lake Michigan, but at a population of around 36,000, Illinois was short of the necessary 60,000 minimum required for statehood. Illinois Congressional delegate, Nathaniel Pope, suggested that it would make better sense to move the boundary northward to include the City of Chicago and the area upon which the I & M Canal would be built, connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River, and from there the Gulf of Mexico. In the South, the First Seminole War resulted from the escalation of conflicts between the Seminoles and settlers who were moving into Seminole territory. The Seminoles provided a sanctuary for escaped slaves and this provided additional fuel for the fire. Andrew Jackson pursued the Seminoles into Florida, which was then under Spanish control. His victory led to the accession of Florida to the U.S. the following year. In the Ohio River Valley, an epidemic of what was commonly called "milk sick" broke out and in October it claimed Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. At the time, the illness was attributed to many things, but only a few suspected the real culprit. It wasn't until the early 1900s that it was determined that milk from cows that had eaten snakeroot caused the illness. By then it had claimed many other victims, the majority of them infants. In literature, a young Mary Shelley's most famous book-- Frankenstein--was published. 1818 also marked the first time the Christmas hymn Silent Night was sung in the small Austrian village of Oberndorf.

Exec: Alexander Hobby Jr., David Bell Wit: John Aason, J. Sanders, Wm. A. Bryan Alexr. Hobby (signed) Prob Feb ct. 1804 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.
