Jane Seymour's arms as queen consort[20]

Jane Seymour was buried on November 12, 1537 in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle after the funeral in which her stepdaughter, Mary, acted as chief mourner. A procession of 29 mourners followed Lady Mary, one for every year of Queen Jane’s life.[21] Jane was the only one of Henry's wives to receive a Queen's funeral.[11]

The following inscription was above her grave for a time:

Here lieth a Phoenix, by whose death
Another Phoenix life gave breath:
It is to be lamented much
The world at once ne'er knew two such.

After her death, Henry wore black for the next three months and did not remarry for three years, although marriage negotiations were tentatively begun soon after her death. Historians have speculated she was Henry's favourite wife because she gave birth to a male heir. When he died in 1547, Henry was buried beside her in the grave he had made for her, on his request.[11]

No. 18.—CRAWFORD TO WASHINGTON.

SPRING GARDEN, November 12, 1773.



SIR :—I received yours of July 27th, September 25th and 26th, [3] in one of which you blame me for not discovering those lands nearly opposite to the other surveys on the Kanawha. The two bottoms below the muth of the Porketahio I did see, but the land on that stream I did not see, but sent the men I had hired, to search and see what sort of land it was, whilst I was- running the other side; but they deceived me and told me there was no land worth taking. They then went on the same and made some small improve­ment with the intention of holding it, but they have since left it. I have surveyed some of the land. Those two bottoms below the Dorkattalin, when I surveyed the rest, seemed to be much overflowed, but not much more than other bottoms were at that time; nor does any of the Kanawha bottoms seem to have any ighs of overflowing more than common since that time; and, from all accounts, they never were so within the recollection of any one acquainted with the country. Some large trees were in the river last spring; but none by many feet as high as that.

As to your chance in your lots of land, I think it much the best on the whole river, from one end of the survey to the other, and those gentlemen seemed a good deal chagrined on viewing yours, after their lots were laid off; as their fronts on the river were not over a mile and a half the most of them, running back almost five miles; while most of your surveys have all bottom, as also Doctor Craik’s land.[4] None in that country is so good as your land and his. You each have the advantage of cabins, I believe, on every five hundred acres of your land on the Ohio., Several of those persons who had improved those lands came to me this fall, and on seeing the patent, quit and went in search of land for themselves. I endeavored to lease them some of your land on the Ohio, but never could get anyone to offer to take any upon any terms—either of yours or that gentleman’s land.

The reason these people sat down upon your land was that Colonel Croghan told them the officers and soldiers could never hold one foot of the land; and he further told them that I had [no] orders from the Governor to survey any land on the Ohio; that it was only a scheme between you and myself. The only chance you have to get land settled, is to get some of your people near where you live to settle upon it some day or other; or bring up some hired men, set them to work, and clear some land, and then you may rent it for something. I believe that will be the surest way to improve your land and with the least expense. Several persons are waiting for your land to relapse, who intend to fall on it immediately thereafter. Should you come in the spring, please to let me know in advance, and also what number of hands, and I will provide you with everything in nny power, such as boats to carry your people down.

I wrote you relating to the upper survey on the Great Kanawha. I think you have not apprehended me in what I wanted. There is the full quantity of land of two hundred thousand acres, and six hundred over and above.[5]

In my last letter to you I wrote you that Lord Dunmore had promised me that in case the new government did not take place before he got home, he would patent these lands for me if I would send him the draft of the land I surveyed on the mouth of the Little Kauawha.[6] Now, as my claim as an officer cannot include the whole, if you will join as much of your officer’s claim as will take all of the survey, you may depend I will make any equal division you may propose. I told Lord Dunmore the true state of the matter. -

Your letters came to my hand not until the 15th, and then I was engaged with the gentlemen who were going down to divide their land. I spoke to Captain Bullitt, and he has promised me a district to survey, and that he will wait on you on his way down the country. He has made a survey he intends for you; some he made for himself. He seems to want to court your favor much at this time, he has several choice tracts, which he says you shall have; but as you will see him yourself, he can inform you more fully.

I hope to have the pleasure of your company down the river this spring. I will go with you as far down as you please. There will be enough persons with us to prevent any Indians doing any hurt. Should you come, come soon as you can, and I will be ready. I am, etc.[7]

Heavily engaged and damaged in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in August, and the Battle of Santa Cruz in October, she was ordered once more in November to block yet another major Japanese effort to retake Guadalcanal. The result, known now as the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, 12-15 November 1942, was the decisive action in the long struggle for the jungle island. In five days of heavy combat, the Japanese landing forces were virtually destroyed, and their supporting battle groups, damaged or destroyed, were pushed away from the island, signaling the end of Japan's southern expansion.

[8] 16 McCready was mistaken about the ridge separating the waters of Beaver from

Sandy Creek. They had left the nearest waters of the West Fork of Beaver

Creek soon after leaving Camp 6. Mclntosh leapfrogged past the site utilized

by Bouquet on the outskirts of the present Minerva. Of course Mclntosh

was not of the same grade of military genius as Bouquet and did not choose

his camp sites with the same eye to defensive positions. The present expedition's

marches were of different lengths than Bouquet's, but six of the camp

sites were on the same ground as Bouquet's camps. For appraisal of Bouquet's

military acumen, see Bouquet's Orderly Book, WPHM, 196, note 42.

[13] Found in Book No. 3, page 116, in the office of the Clerk of Courts, Harrison County, West Virginia. Owing to the transactions to recover the fifteen hundred acres of land on the Little Kanawha River, three deeds are hereby represented, covering three different dates. Col. Crawford’s assignment called for 8,000 acres and one— fourth would be 2,000 acres, constituting the number of acres due him for his services in surveying the 8,000acres. Yet, only 1,500 acres are accounted for and recovered. The remaining 500 acres are yet to be recovered or accounted for.

Alexander Henderson is listed in the deed books in Harrison County, West Virginia, as a grantor from 1811 until 1814, selling land in the Little Kanawha area.

Lieut. John Crawford’s remaining inheritance of his father’s estate, on the whole, was the bounty lands due his father for his father’s services in the American Revolutionary War. No. 851, and found recorded in the Kentucky L.and Office at Frankfort, Ky. William Crawford, Colonel, 6666 2/3 acres, Va. C.ont. Line. ‘John Crawford, heir at Law’ surveyed June 17, 1783.
