January 18, 532: In Constantinople the Nika riots come to an end with Justinian still holding the office of Emperor. Senators opposed to Justinian took advantage of these riots, which had grown out of a dispute over chariot competition, to try and bring an end to Justinian’s imperial rule. Justinian was ready to flee the city and effectively give up his power. However, his wife refused to leave and give him the courage to stay and defeat the mob and his enemies. History does not record the views held by Justinian’s opponents concerning the Jewish people and Judaism. But it does not seem possible that the Jews could have been any worse off if they had won given Justinian’s anti-Jewish policies. For example, “Justinian ruled that ‘Jews must never enjoy the fruits of office, but only its pains and penalties…They shall enjoy no honors. Their status shall reflect the baseness which in their souls they have elected and desired.’” Justinian firmly established the principle of servitus Jadaeorum (servitude of the Jews) and “the hitherto uneven pattern of persecution was systematized” as Christianity and state power became synonymous.[1]

533 A.D. The Empire strikes back. More than a century after the sack of Rome, self proclaimed Romans march forth from the Bysantine capital of Constantinople. They were intent on recapturing all of the western territories that had fallen to despots like Clovis. By this time Italy, Spain, and North Africa had all fallen to barbarian leaders.[2]



In 533 CE Emperor Justinian attacked Carthage and the rich olive oil lands and took back the treasure. After Justinian attacked Carthage the temple treasure was brought to Constantinople. The advisors of Justinian told him, that where ever the temple treasure went, the city was destroyed. First Jerusalem, then Rome now Carthage, and (later) Constantinople. According to Procopius Justinian sent the treasure to “the sanctuaries of the Christians in Jerusalem.”[3]

January 18, 749: According to Michael the Syrian, several ships were sunk off the coast of Palestine and Lebanon as the result of an earthquake.[4]

January 18, 1777: Acting on orders from General George Washington (grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed), General Heath and his men had begun their assault on Fort Independence 11 days earlier on January 18, 1777. General Washington, who was under British attack in nearby New Jersey, believed that a successful assault on Fort Independence would force the British to divert troops from New Jersey to defend the outpost, located just outside British-controlled Manhattan between the Post Roads to Boston and Albany. [5]

On January 18th, 1780: we were at latitude 30° 8’ north. Sunrise in this area was at forty-eight minutes past six o’clock, and sunset at twelve minutes past five o’clock. The wind turned favorable today, but toward evening it changed again. At that time another ship, called the Swan, raised a distress signal and the troops were taken off and distributed among the fleet. This business had hardly taken place when a fresh, heavier storm came up, during which our sailors lost all heart and assured me in confidence that not one ship could withstand this terrible weather, because they were nearly all damaged.

President Jefferson (brother in law of the 1st great grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) asks Congress for an appropriation of $2500 to fund the Lewis and Clark Expedition.[7]

Determined to begin the American exploration of the vast mysterious regions of the Far West, President Thomas Jefferson sends a special confidential message to Congress asking for money to fund the journey of Lewis and Clark.

Jefferson had been trying to mount a western expedition of exploration since the 1790s, and his determination to do so had only grown since he became president in 1801. In summer 1802, Jefferson began actively preparing for the mission, recruiting his young personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to be its leader. Throughout 1802, Jefferson and Lewis discussed the proposed mission, telling no one—not even Congress, which would have to approve the funds—of what they were contemplating.

Jefferson directed Lewis to draw up an estimate of expenses. Basing his calculations on a party of one officer and 10 enlisted men—the number was deliberately kept small to avoid inspiring both congressional criticisms and Indian fears of invasion—Lewis carefully added up the costs for provisions, weapons, gunpowder, scientific instruments, and a large boat. The final tally came to $2,500. The largest item was $696, earmarked for gifts to Indians.

Following the advice of his secretary of the treasury, Albert Gallatin, Jefferson decided not to include the request in his general proposed annual budget, since it involved exploration outside of the nation's own territory. Instead, on January 18, 1803, he sent a special secret message to Congress asking for the money, taking pains to stress that the proposed exploration would be an aid to American commerce. Jefferson noted that the Indians along the proposed route of exploration up the Missouri River "furnish a great supply of furs & pelts to the trade of another nation carried on in a high latitude." If a route into this territory existed, "possibly with a single portage, from the Western ocean," Jefferson suggested Americans might have a superior means of exploiting the fur trade. Though carefully couched in diplomatic language, Jefferson's message to Congress was clear: a U.S. expedition might be able to steal the fur trade from the British and find the long hoped-for Northwest passage to the Pacific.

Despite some mild resistance from Federalists who never saw any point in spending money on the West, Jefferson's carefully worded request prevailed, and Congress approved the $2,500 appropriation by a sizeable margin. It no doubt seemed trivial in comparison to the $9,375,000 they had approved a week earlier for the Louisiana Purchase, which brought much of the territory Jefferson was proposing to explore under American control.

With financing now assured, Lewis immediately began preparing for the expedition. Recruiting his old military friend, William Clark, to be his co-captain, the Corps of Discovery departed on their epic exploration of the uncharted regions in spring 1804.[8]



1803



President Thomas Jefferson to William Henry Harrison (6th cousin 7x removed), Governor of the Indiana Territory, 1803

You will receive from the Secretary of War … from time to time information and instructions as to our Indian affairs. These communications being for the public records, are restrained always to particular objects and occasions; but this letter being unofficial and private, I may with safety give you a more extensive view of our policy respecting the Indians, that you may the better comprehend the parts dealt out to you in detail through the official channel, and observing the system of which they make a part, conduct yourself in unison with it in cases where you are obliged to act without instruction. Our system is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians, to cultivate an affectionate attachment from them, by everything just and liberal which we can do for them within the bounds of reason, and by giving them effectual protection against wrongs from our own people. The decrease of game rendering their subsistence by hunting insufficient, we wish to draw them to agriculture, to spinning and weaving. The latter branches they take up with great readiness, because they fall to the women, who gain by quitting the labors of the field for, those which are exercised within doors. When they withdraw themselves to the culture of a small piece of land, they will perceive how useless to them are their extensive forests, and will be willing to pare them off from time to time in exchange for necessaries for their farms and families. To promote this disposition to exchange lands, which they have to spare and we want, for necessaries, which we have to spare and they want, we shall push our trading uses, and be glad to see the good and influential individuals among them run in debt, because we observe that when these debts get beyond what the individuals can pay, they become willing to lop them off by a cession of lands. At our trading houses, too, we mean to sell so low as merely to repay us cost and charges, so as neither to lessen or enlarge our capital. This is what private traders cannot do, for they must gain; they will consequently retire from the competition, and we shall thus get clear of this pest without giving offence or umbrage to the Indians. In this way our settlements will gradually circumscribe and approach the Indians, and they will in time either incorporate with us a citizens or the United States, or remove beyond the Mississippi. The former is certainly the termination of their history most happy for themselves; but, in the whole course of this, it is essential to cultivate their love. As to their fear, we presume that our strength and their weakness is now so visible that they must see we have only to shut our hand to crush them, and that all our liberalities to them proceed from motives of pure humanity only. Should any tribe be foolhardy enough to take up the hatchet at any time, the seizing the whole country of that tribe, and driving them across the Mississippi, as the only condition of peace, would be an example to others, and a furtherance of our final consolidation.[9]

1803 – Little Turkey died, and former Lower Cherokee warrior Black Fox was chosen to succeed him as principal chief.[10]

1803-1807 William McCormick was an Auditor of Bullskin Township.[11]

This photograph was taken during a driving tropical rain in Boston and through an iron fence at the Granary Burying Grounds. The stone marks the tomb of Samuel Adams, the “organizer of the Revolution”. It is often said that it was Hancock’s money and Adams’ brains that fueled the revolt. Adams’ fiery speeches, combined with his deft political maneuvering, kept public passions aroused for years.

Appropriately next to Adam’ grave is that of the five victims of the Boston Massacre: Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr. Buried with them is Christopher Snider, a young boy killed by a Tory in another incident 11 days earlier. He was the first victim of the struggles between the colonists and the3 mother country.

In 1803 the U.S.S. Constitution sailed to Africa’s northern coast, where the Barbary corsairs were menacing American commerce. By subduing the “haughty tyrant of Tripoli” a nation now known as Libya, Commodore Edward Preble won the frigate her first major victory.[14]

Division of the South-

Headquarter Nashville

Friends &Brothers

By the hands of our Brothers George Fields, [Young] Wolf, and Turtle Fields I recd. Your letters, one from my old Friend and brother the King of your nation, the Path Killer, dated December 11, 1820-and two from your chiefs, the Speaker, Wausaucy, Archibald Campbell, KnightKiller, James Spencer and John Thompson; which I have read & considered with great attention- and have received from the mouth of your faithfull friends and agent, Turtle Fields, who has explained to me all your wishes, not expressed in your letters; as it respects the boundary you wish reserved, and the grievances you labour under, from the want of being heard in the council of your nation by your chiefs, heretofore, and your apprehensions of being here after deprived of your country without your consent, as you have been of receiving your proportion of the annuities fro the last three years all of which, I think reasonable, and I have no doubt but will be heard, & redressed by your father the President of the U . States.[18]

Friends & Brothers-you have fought with me, I then told you I was your friend, that your father the President of the united States, was not only your friend, but he loved you as children, and he would act allways as your firnd-you now ask him through me, to have secured to you a tract of country, small inproportion to what you are entitled to compared with your numbers & compared with the whole country reserved by treaty for the use of the whole cherokee nation and to have this allotted to you & your posterity permanantly, so that your nation cannot Sell it without your consent to the u states—Relinquishing all right to any other land you may be intitled to which has been secured by treaty to the cherokee nation which may of right belong to you as part of that nation—this is so reasonable, that I have no doubt but your father the President of the u.States and Congress assembled will readily grant-- The chiefs of the upper part of your nation cannot complain of this, They can procure by proper appliction the same security This done, you Know that you will rest unmolested in possession of what is thus allotted to you as long as you choose to possess it-and if the upper part of the nation chooses, it can for your part of the nation and which I trust will be granted them as> I hope your request will be granted you-at least I can assure you as a friend and Brother, & as a firend of your whole nation, that as far as I have influence, it shall be exercised to obtain your request from the President & congress of the united States, and for which purpose I have transmitted to your father the President, the three letters recd. By your trusty friends & Brothers adressed to me, as well as your trusty agents Turtle Fields explanation of all your withses- so soon as I receive and answer from your father the President of the united States I will forward it to you.[20]

Friends & Brothers I never have flattered or deceived one of my red Brothers-I never tell them lies, I have not the power to say positively that your request will be granted, but I say to you, I think it is reasonable and ought to be granted, and that I will make a faithfull communication of it to your father the President of the United States, and use my influence that the reserve you ask shall be make to you, your happiness and permanent security require it-the Interest of your white Brethern urges it, from which I conclude it will be granted to you. I have directed your delegation to Shake you all by the hand for me as friends & Brothers; and say to you that I wish the happiness of you, & your whole nation-I am your Friend and Brother

January 1823: Theophilus McKinnon married Priscilla Houston.[22]

January 18, 1824: Nashville pastor William Hume presided over dedication of the newly constructed Hermitage church. [23]

January 1827 – Charles Hicks dies two weeks after Pathkiller, and government devolves to Major Ridge, as Speaker of the National Council, and John Ross, as president of the National Committee.[24]

January 1831 – December 1832 – 907 Cherokee emigrate to the western lands in these two years. Most of these were in two parties, 347 in one and 422 in the other (including 127 slaves).[25]

January 1839: MARGUERITE CRAWFORD 3rd cousin 5x removed), b. July 24, 1820, Haywood County, North Carolina; d. April 24, 1882, Buncombe County, North Carolina; m. WESLEY DUCKETT, January 1839, Haywood County, North Carolina.[26]

January 1842: 10th President of the US 1841-1845: During President Tyler's term in office, there were two First Ladies. In 1839, Letitia, suffered a paralytic stroke that left her an invalid. As First Lady, she remained in the upstairs living quarters of the White House only coming downstairs just once, to attend the wedding of her daughter Elizabeth in January 1842.[27]

January 1842: Darwin continued to research and extensively revise his theory while focusing on his main work of publishing the scientific results of the Beagle voyage.[29] He tentatively wrote of his ideas to Lyell in January 1842;[31] then in June he roughed out a 35-page "Pencil Sketch" of his theory.[32] Darwin began correspondence about his theorising with the botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker in January 1844, and by July had rounded out his "sketch" into a 230-page "Essay", to be expanded with his research results and published if he died prematurely.[33][28]

January 1846 George Smythe, 7th Viscount Strangford (7th cousin 5x removed) accepted minor office in Peel's government as Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, Smythe and Disraeli apparently remained close friends until the former's death. The title character in Disraeli's novel Coningsby was modeled after Smythe, and Smythe wrote to Disraeli in 1852 that "you were of old the Cid and Captain of my boyish fanaticism."

Lord Strangford.




Smythe's career was shattered later in the year when he was caught in a summerhouse with the 21-year-old Lady Dorothy Walpole the daughter of Horatio Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford. Newspaper gossip alleged that he got her pregnant, and then refused to marry her. Lady Dorothy was hastily married off to an elderly cousin. In the nineteenth century social and political ruin often went hand-in-hand. At his last electoral appearance in 1852 Smythe fought a duel with his fellow MP, Colonel Romilly, and lost in a landslide. [29]

January 1847: Hooker was persuaded to take away a copy of the "Essay" in January 1847, and eventually sent a page of notes giving Darwin much needed feedback. Reminded of his lack of expertise in taxonomy, Darwin began an eight year study of barnacles, becoming the leading expert on their classification. Using his theory, he discovered homologies showing that slightly changed body parts served different functions to meet new conditions, and he found an intermediate stage in the evolution of distinct sexes.[37][30]

January 18, 1854: MARTHA ANN CRAWFORD (3rd cousin 5x removed), b. May 11, 1833, Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina; d. November 20, 1920; m. GEORGE G. ALLMAN, January 18, 1854, Macon County, North carolina.

Notes for GEPRGE G. ALLMAN:
Killed in Civil War July 26, 1864 [31]

January 1855: Shortly after Lawrence’s founding, two newspapers were started: The Kansas Pioneer and the Herald of Freedom. Both papers touted the Free State mission which caused problems from the people of Lecompton, then the pro-slavery headquarters, located about ten miles northwest of Lawrence, and land squatters from Missouri. The Kansas Free State began in early January 1855.[15][32]

January 1856: (Queen Victoria) (18th cousin 4x removed) Letter to Miss Florence Nightingale: January 1856

You are, I know, well aware of the high sense I entertain of the Christian

devotion which you have displayed during this great and bloody war, and I

need hardly repeat to you how warm my admiration is for your services, which

are fully equal to those of my dear and brave soldiers, whose sufferings you

have had the privilege of alleviating in so merciful a manner. I am, however,

anxious of marking my feelings in a manner which I trust will be agreeable to

you, and therefore send you with this letter a brooch [a badge bearing St

George's Cross in red enamel and the royal cypher surmounted by a crown in

diamonds; the inscription 'Blessed are the Merciful' encircled the badge which

also bore the word 'Crimea'], the form and emblems of which commemorate

your great and blessed work, and which, I hope, you will wear as a mark of

the high approbation of your Sovereign!

It will be a very great satisfaction to me, when you return at last to these

shores, to make the acquaintance of one who has set so bright an example to

our sex.[33]

In January 1857 the second territorial legislative assembly met on the upper floor. Although still firmly pro slavery, this group removed some of the earlier laws that their antislavery neighbors opposed.[34]

January 1860: Darwin was delighted by the popularity of the book, and asked Gray to keep any profits.[64] Gray managed to negotiate a 5% royalty with Appleton's of New York,[65] who got their edition out in mid January 1860, a Natural theology was not a unified doctrine, and while some such as Louis Agassiz were strongly opposed to the ideas in the book, others sought a reconciliation in which evolution was seen as purposeful.[165] In the Church of England, some liberal clergymen interpreted natural selection as an instrument of God's design, with the cleric Charles Kingsley seeing it as "just as noble a conception of Deity".[169][170] In the second edition of January 1860, Darwin quoted Kingsley as "a celebrated cleric", and added the phrase "by the Creator" to the closing sentence, which from then on read "life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one".[171] While some commentators have taken this as a concession to religion that Darwin later regretted,[57] Darwin's view at the time was of God creating life through the laws of nature,[172][173] and even in the first edition there are several references to "creation".[174]

Baden Powell praised "Mr Darwin's masterly volume [supporting] the grand principle of the self-evolving powers of nature".[175] In America, Asa Gray argued that evolution is the secondary effect, or modus operandi, of the first cause, design,[176] and published a pamphlet defending the book in terms of theistic evolution, Natural Selection is not inconsistent with Natural Theology.[169][177][178] Theistic evolution became a popular compromise, and St. George Jackson Mivart was among those accepting evolution but attacking Darwin's naturalistic mechanism. Eventually it was realised that supernatural intervention could not be a scientific explanation, and naturalistic mechanisms such as neo-Lamarckism were favoured over natural selection as being more compatible with purpose.[165]

Even though the book had barely hinted at human evolution, it quickly became central to the debate as mental and moral qualities were seen as spiritual aspects of the immaterial soul, and it was believed that animals did not have spiritual qualities. This conflict could be reconciled by supposing there was some supernatural intervention on the path leading to humans, or viewing evolution as a purposeful and progressive ascent to mankind's position at the head of nature.nd the other two withdrew.[35][36]

January 1863: 2nd Brigade, 2ndDivision, Sherman’s Yazoo Expedition, to January 1863. [37]

January 1863: The Iowa 24th passed the winter at Helena, Ark., engaging in short expeditions at intervals, and in January 1863, moved in the White River expedition as far as Devall's Bluff. At St. Charles part of the troops were ordered to disembark, and no sooner had they unloaded the baggage than they were ordered on board again, the results of the movement being the capture of 2 abandoned siege guns, a squad of prisoners, and the destruction of an unfinished depot. Many of the men died from exposure during the trip and many more died subsequently from the effects.[38]

January 1863: Robert Brank Vance, (3rd cousin 6x removed) brother of ZBV, commanded the Twenty-ninth Regiment North Carolina Troops, until January 1863 when he temporarily assumed command of the Second Brigade (including the Thirty-ninth Regiment) of his division of the Army of Tennessee. He was promoted to brigadier general and given permanent command of the brigade in March. [39]



January 1863: Springfield, Missouri

John N. Edwards described the Confederate campaign into Missouri in

January 1863 in his book, "Shelby and His Men: or, The War in the West."

Although he does not mention Quantrill’s men, other sources state that they

were a part of the campaign. The fact that Edwards never mentions Quantrill in

"Shelby and His Men" indicates that he knew little about the guerrillas until

years after the war. One source specifically states that Sim Whitsett was at

these battles.

General Hindman ordered General Marmaduke to take Shelby and

Porter’s Missouri brigades, cut Blunt’s main lines of communication around

Springfield, Missouri, and hold it until Blunt was forced to let go of his grip on

the Arkansas River. Hindman also hoped to prevent Blunt from attacking Little

Rock, which seemed to be Blunt’s next objective.[40]



More About JEPTHA M. CRAWFORD (3rd cousin 5x removed):
Burial: January 18, 1863, Location: Row 1 Lot 3. Blue Springs Cemetery, Blue Springs Missouri. The inscription reads: Jeptha M. Crawford died January 29, 1863 Age 50 yrs. 1 mo. 12 da. [41]



On the night of January 18, 1863, a heavy snowstorm hit the retreating army. It lasted

ten hours and covered the ground to a depth of two feet. The brigade struggled

on towards Batesville, Arkansas eluding a large force set out after them under

the command of Union General Davidson. The feet of many of the Rebel

soldiers were badly frostbitten and in some cases had to be amputated on the

march. More often than not, under the primitive conditions they endured, the

amputees died of shock and exposure.

Quantrill Returns to Missouri, 1863

Shelby’s battered brigade reached Batesville, Arkansas where a train

from Lewisburg was to meet them. However, the train was trapped in the

mountains in the deep snow and was unable to move forward or backward. This

added to the suffering because Shelby’s troops had no tents or the resources

for a winter camp. The people of Batesville came to the aid of the frozen

soldiers and Shelby’s brigade spent the remainder of the winter months in

Batesville cared for by the loyal Southern citizens of the town.

In January, Quantrill returned from Richmond. He was shocked at how

small his band had become. Todd, McCorkle and many others had returned to

Missouri rather than put up with regular army life. What was left was certainly

no regiment suitable for a colonel. Quantrill sulked and complained to Generals

Hindman and Marmaduke about his rejection in Richmond and the defection of

his troops. Both officers tried to convince Quantrill to join with them in the

regular army and in due time he would earn the accolades he so desired.

Quantrill took the proposal to what remained of his band but they would have

nothing to do with it. The old argument about being captured and shot was

raised, but the main reason probably was that most were tired of fighting

losing battles over which they had little or no control. Most of Quantrill’s men

had had enough and were ready to leave. Quantrill took what remained of his

outfit and left for Texas to spend the rest of the winter. [42]

The house, still standing, was the home of James W. Wood, who grew up here and was 15 years old when the war began. He joined the Confederate army in January 1864 and fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor. He also served with Jubal Early’s Valley army. After the war he served three terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. [44]



January 1865[45]



January 1865: Colonel York, who had lost an arm in the service, complained to General Robert E. Lee that he had between six and seven hundred recruits (Offi[46]cial Records, 4, III, 1029) but was unable to obtain any quartermaster's supplies for them.

January 18th., 1865: We saw land at daylight in the morning. The sea was quite calm. This morning we saw several other vessels that had left Baltimore 2 and 3 days before we did. They was laying here waiting for a pilot. We stopped here a short time then got a pilot. Quite a number of the other vessels went back to Hilton Head. Our vessel and the Steam Ship Hudson New York went up the Warsaw Sound and entered into the Savannah River about a mile below the city, the river being full of obstructions between that and the mouth of the river so that it was not safe for a sea going vessel to go in at the mouth of the river. Here we cast anchor and a river steamer came to us. Gen. Grover and 2 of his staff went on board of her and went on up to the city. We laid at anchor that night.[47]

We had one man died on board and was buried on the bank of the river. He belonged to the 176th Regiment NY. The land on each side of the river was very low & marshy once apparently nothing but sand. The weather was warm and pleasant. But commenced to rain in the evening.[48]

January 1869: From the onset of the violence used by the Klu Klux Klan General Forest was against the terror. He ordered the Klan disbanded, its records destroyed, its robes burned. Some local Klans adhered to the order, many did not.[49]



January 1871: In January 1871, George Jackson Mivart's On the Genesis of Species listed detailed arguments against natural selection, and claimed it included false metaphysics.[60] Darwin made extensive revisions to the sixth edition of the Origin (this was the first edition in which he used the word "evolution"[61]), and added a new chapter VII, Miscellaneous objections, to address Mivart's arguments.[62][50]

January 18, 1912: President Taft (6th cousin of the wife of the 2nd cousin 3x removed of the grand uncle of the husband of the sister in law of the 1st great grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin) received a delegation representing the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers led by Louis N. Hammerling. Mr. Taft said he favored admission of desirable immigrants, but immigration laws should be strictly enforced. The issue of immigration is especially sensitive for American Jews. Attempts to limit immigration from eastern and southern Europe were seen, in part, as an attempt to keep Jews from Russia, Romania and Poland from entering the United States. The term “desirable immigrants” was often used as a code to describe those coming from Western Europe and Scandinavia. To add to the complexity of the issue, Jews of Germanic origins were concerned about the influx of Jews from Eastern Europe.

Hugh Stephenson
Hugh Stephenson was one of five sons of Richard Stephenson, who settled on Bullskin creek early in the eighteenth century. Hugh had commanded a company of rifleman durning the French and Indian War. Washington thought highly of him, and recommended him for the command of one of the two rifle companies raised in the Shenandoah Valley in 1775. He was the Capt of Virginia troops. In
1776 he was promoted colonel, and was employed in raising a rifle regiment when he was taken ill, with a return of camp fever* and died at his home in Bullskin.
He had some property near Shepherdstown, and had gone into partnership, before the Revolution, with David Shephard in establishing a rival ferry at Shepherstown, where Swearingen's Ferry had prior possession.
Stephenson left a wife and several children.
William Stephenson - He was a lieutenant in George Rogers Clark expedition.

(son) Captain Hugh Stephenson was born in 1729 in Westmoreland Co, VA, son of Richard and Honora (Grimes) Stephenson. His mother Honora was previously the widow of William Crawford Senior, and he was half-brother of Colonel William Crawford and a full brother of Captain John Stephenson.

In a letter from Col. William Crawford to George Washington, dated February 12, 1777, he tells of his brother, Valentine's death as well as his half-brother, Hugh Stephenson. Crawford writes "I suppose by this time you may have heard of all my misfortunes. The loss of Hugh Stephenson and Valentine Crawford, who died the 7th of last month at Bullskin without any will, is very hard on me."


And a bit about good ole George Washington:
Col George Eskridge came from Lancaster, England. In 1670, he was seized in Wales by Press Gang, who carried him aboard a ship bound for Virginia, where he was sold to a planter as an indentured servant for 8 years. When he was freed, he returned to England to get his Law Degree and then he came back to Northern Neck of Virginia, between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers. He settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1696.
George was an eminent lawyer. He served 10 years in the House of Burgesses and was a member of Quoram & Kings Attorneys. His plantation of many thousands of acres (Land Grants(below) show 12, 644 acres), was called "Sandy Point", and was located on the Potomac River.
George played an important role in the life of our first President, George Washington. George Washington's mother was named Mary Ball. Her father called her his "Little Rose of Epping Forest". Mary's father died when she was 3 years old. Her mother died a few years later, and in her will she named George Eskridge as the guardian of Mary. Mary spent her childhood in the Eskridge home, and later married a neighbor, Augustine Washington. The wedding took place at "Sandy Point". When Mary's first child was born, he was named for her much loved guardian, George.
Col George Eskridge was neighbors and friends to the Washingtons, Lees, and Carters of Virginia. He was a Vestryman of Yeocomico Episcopal Church in Virginia. He was the first Eskridge to come to America. His portrait hung for several years at Mount Vernon Plantation, but is now in the Department of Archives of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, Virginia. Further
reference to George Eskridge is in the Eskridge drawer in the Westmoreland County Museum, Virginia.

Written and Published in the book "Kin of my Grandchildren", by Judge Noble Littell
Colonel George Eskridge was reportedly shanghaied in his youth while walking along a wharf in England about 1670. He was brought to America and sold as an indentured servant. When his term expired, he returned to England, studied law, and came back to Virginia.
He was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses for many of the sessions from 1704 through 1734.
George Washington was very likely named for him, Douglas S. Freeman so stated in his biography of Washington.

Mary Hewes, (the mother of Mary Balland and Mary's older half-sister, Elizabeth Johnson, who married Samuel Bonum), named Colonel Eskridge as the guardian of Mary Ball (George Washington's mother). He served in this capacity from the time Mary was 13 years old, until she married Augustine Washington (George's father). Mary Ball was reared in the home of Colonel Eskridge and her marriage to Augustine Washington took place in Colonel Eskridge's home. It was George Eskridge who held their first born, as he was christened George Washington. A highway marker near Sandy Point, Westmoreland County, Virginia attests to this fact. Freeman commented that Colonel Eskridge was a lawyer of distinction, a land speculator of skill, and a gentleman of character. He was the father of six children by his first marriage (Rebecca Bonum).[55]

[18] See Pathkiller to AJ, December 11, 1820, Speaker et al. to AJ, January 3 and 8; and Report of meeting with Cherokee Indians (containing Turtle Fields’s explanation), January 18. The Fields, George (d. 1849) and Turtle, were mixed-blood brothers, both of whom fought under Jackson in the Creek War. Turtle became an itinerant Methodist preacher in Alabama and Tennessee before moving to Arkansas in 1819. Of the other Creek Path conspirators, all but Wososey were found in Alabama by the 1835 census. Young Wolf and Speaker, both full blood Cherokees, lived at Turkey Town and in Blount County, respectively. Archibald Cambell (d. 1859), like Turtle a Methodist exhorter, served on the Cherokee executive council in the 1840s. Knight Killer lived a t Wills Valley; Sperncer, like Campbell, at Creek Path. John Thompson, a white married into the Cherokee Nation, was an interpreter. Wososey and Speaker were considered to be supporters of the so-called “White Path Rebellion,” an anti-missionary movement in 1827.


[19] The Cherokee nation had been politically split sine the 1770s when dissident chiefs who refused to accept peace with the whites founded new towns along the lower Tennessee River valley from Chickamauga to Muscle Shoals. In the early 1800s these lower town Cherokees, to which the Creek Path Indians belonged, were significantly more amenable to removal than the upper town Cherokees of Georgia, the Carolinas, and East Tennessee.
