Christopher Smith II - Indian School
Added by genkssst on 29 Aug 2008
Indian School at William & Mary. "There was also a common school for Indian boys. The master received forty or fifty pounds sterling, which was to be paid from the rents of the Brafferton estate, in Yorkshire, in which the funds left by the Hon. Robert Boyle “for pious and charitable uses” had been invested by decree of the High Court of Chancery in Great Britain. The attendance on this school was augmented by boys from the town, whom the master was authorized to charge 20s. a year each. “Reading, writing, and vulgar arithmetic” were the subjects embraced."
(1711) A letter from Governor Spottswood to Lord Dartmouth in 1711 indicates that there were 25 Indian children at the College. He states “These Indians express much satisfaction at the treatment that is given their children. They often grieve that they were not so fortunate as to have had such advantages in their younger days. Based on several histories, the Indians had an entirely different view as many were coerced to attend. (1713) A report states that “Virginia demanded and received two hostages from each tributary Indian village. Governor Spotswood though that this was the best way to keep these Amerindians peaceful, while giving some of the most talented of their numbers an English style education. By 1713 there were seventeen of these students being educated by the College of William and Mary.
(1716) "The Rector acquainting the Visitors and Governors that upon Mr. Jackson’s declining to teach the Indian children that he had appointed Mr. Christopher Smith to succeed him in employment and that sd Christopher Smith is hereby approved of as a Master to that sd Indian *** and ordered that he have the same allowance of Sallary that was given to Mr. Jackson.” Mr Jackson was Christopher Jackson. Christopher was probably a teacher before that time. Mr Jackson was paid 50 pounds sterling. The grammer school also educated white children from Williamsburg.(6 May 1716) On the petition of Christopher Smith, Master to the Indian Children Ord. that, on consideration that there are but few of them now at school, he be allowed 25 pounds per annum, that he have pasturage for his horse, firewood for his chamber and the liberty of teaching such English children as shall be put to him and that a partition be erected at the charge of the College to separate the said English children from the Indians. Masters and Visitors of the College of William and Mary. William and Mary Quarterly, v. 7, page. 235. Williamsburg students paid 20 shillings per annum to attend school.
Christopher's death is commonly given as 1716. William & Mary records indicate that he was not replaced as Indian Master until sometime in 1720 when Reverend Charles Griffin was hired.

Christopher Smith II - James City
Added by genkssst on 29 Aug 2008
Christopher Smith's occupation prior to his appointment at Wm & Mary in 1716 has always been somewhat of a mystery. The answer may lie in his second marriage to Lydia Broadribb which seems an improbable match given their age. William Broadribb's will notes: “Excepting the land whereon the Schoole house now standeth with half an Acre of Land & fire wood of [mutilated] my Land I do give for the use of a Schoole for ever” Will of William Broadribb, 7 Jun 1703. This opens the possibility that Christopher was the master at Broadribb's school. Some background on colonial Virginia schools and teachers follows:
“Beverley, who wrote in 1703, says: " There are large tracts of land, houses and other things granted to free schools for the education of children in many parts of the country, and some of these are so large that of themselves they are a handsome maintenance to a master; but the additional allowance which gentlemen give with their sons render them a comfortable subsistence. These schools have been founded by the legacies of well-inclined gentlemen, and the management of them hath commonly been left to the direction of the county court, or the vestry of their respective parishes." After this time we learn of many such schools in the county records, the most interesting being Mrs. Mary Whaley's free school in York County, established in 1706, and William Broadrib's in James City County, established about the same time.” Williamsburg The Old Colonial Capital by Lyon Gardiner.
B.
“The justices' intervention in this instance was only in conformity with the general supervision which they and their fellows exercised over all the schoolmasters. The county records show that the county court very frequently recommended to the Governor particular teachers whom they thought fully entitled to receive the license required; for instance, in 1699, the justices of Elizabeth City requested that officer to confer on Stephen Lylly the right to teach; and the same year they apparently made a similar request in Charles Goring's behalf. The latter was declared to be competent to instruct youth in reading, writing, and arithmetic; the former in writing and the English tongue. It would seem that at this time (and this was also probably the case at earlier periods) the first step on a pedagogue's part towards opening a school was to petition the county court to obtain the necessary license from the Governor; and in order to justify the court in doing this, the applicant had to give proofs ' of his learning . The justices practically decided whether he should or should not be allowed to become a teacher, for if they found him incapable, they simply declined to recommend him to the Governor; and when they refused to recommend any one, it is not probable that that official bestowed the license in opposition to their decision. Indeed, the granting of licenses was a purely formal act on the Governor's part, as he, being called upon to make so many appointments of schoolmasters, was compelled to be guided by the recommendations of the county courts. Every county court in Virginia was, about 1699, required to return to the Council Office at Jamestown a list of all the schools situated in its own jurisdiction; and also a statement as to whether the persons fill1ng the position of teacher had obtained licenses or not. Should it be found that some were following this calling without having secured the necessary certificate, then they were to be granted such certificate without any charge, should an examination of their qualifications prove them to be fit and capable; it was evidently the desire of the authorities from whom this order came that the advantage of retaining competent teachers, already busily occupied with their duties, should not be jeoparded by the imposition of any fee.” Institutional History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century by Phillip Alexander Bruce.
(27 Aug 1705) James City Parish - Mr. George Lee and Mr. Joseph Pettitt, church wardens, Robert Holderbe and Christopher Smith, clerks of the Vestry. Parishes were equivalent to present day counties and had both civil and religious roles. The Vestry Clerk is the equivalent of today’s county clerk. As Clerk, Christopher was paid a salary and five pounds of tobacco or six shillings for recording births, deaths and marriages. The tower of the James City Church still stands; the church was rebuilt in the early 1900s.
(1704) Virginia Quit Rent Rolls: James City - Smith, Christo, 450 acres; King William - Smith, Christo. 800 acres
(1699) A Christopher Smith was imported to Virginia in 1699 as an indentured servant to Mr Gilbert Livesay aboard the Elizabeth from Liverpool. There were as many as five contemporary Christopher Smiths. It seems unlikely that Christopher was indentured and then Clerk of the Vestry five years later.
January 29, 1676(OS): Tsar Alexis I of Russia passed away. “During his reign a considerable number of Jews lived in Moscow and the interior of Russia. In a work of travels, written at that time, but published later, and bearing the title, Reise nach dem Norden the author states that, owing to the influence of a certain Stephan von Gaden, the czar's Jewish physician, the number of Jews considerably increased in Moscow. The same information is contained in the work, The Present State of Russia by Samuel Collins, who was also a physician at the court of the czar. From the edicts issued by Alexis Mikhailovich, it appears that the czar often granted the Jews passports with red seals (gosudarevy zhalovannyya gramoty), without which no foreigners could be admitted to the interior; and that they traveled without restriction to Moscow, dealing in cloth and jewelry, and even received from his court commissions to procure various articles of merchandise. Thus, in 1672, the Jewish merchants Samuel Jakovlev and his companions were commissioned at Moscow to go abroad and buy Hungarian wine.” Another edict “instructed a party of Lithuanian Jews to proceed from Kaluga to Nijni-Novgorod, and as a protection they received an escort of twenty sharpshooters.” The Czar’s attitude towards the Jews was a mixed bag as can be seen from his expulsion of “the Jews from the newly acquired Lithuanian and Polish cities” – Mohilev, Wilna, and Kiev. Altogether, taking into consideration the hatred of foreigners among the Russian population of his time, it is evident that Alexis was kindly disposed toward the Jews.”
January 29, 1773: While the Provincial Council on January 13, 1773, laid the matter on the table for the time being Governor Richard Penn, on January twenty-ninth sent this message to them affecting the settlements west of the mountains: “Gentlemen: I think it encumbent upon me to inform you, that the late evacuation of Fort Pitt, by order of the Commander-inChief (Gage), hath greatly alarmed the inhabitants of this province, settled beyond the Allegheny Mountains, who have been used to look upon that fortress as their safeguard against the incursions of the Indians. I have received from that quarter several petitions, which I have ordered the secretary to lay before you, expressing their apprehension of the dangerous situation to wich they are reduced, and prayikng form government a suitable relief. Upon receipt of these petitions I wrote to General Gage by express, requesting the continuance of a small garrison at that post, at least till the meeting of the Assembly. But too far advanced to be countermanded; nor did he seem to think it expedient for him to have continued abny of the troops there, had my letter been received in time.
“It cannot be doubted that the late military establishment at Fort Pitt did very greatly contribute to the rapid population of the country beyond the mountains; and that the withdrawing the King’s troops must of course not only depress the spirits of the present settlers, but retard the progress of the settlement. I persuade myself that you will view the safety and protection of that extensive and flourishing district as an object of great importance, and worthy of the public attention. And as it appears to me that the most proper, and indeed only assistance, which can be afforded these people, is the supporting a small garrison at the post, I find myself under the necessity of applying to you to enable me to carry that measure into execution.”
January 29, 1777: Facing a surprise British counterassault in the bitter cold and with a snowstorm approaching, American commander Major General William Heath and his army of 6,000 abandon their siege on Fort Independence, in Bronx County, New York, on this day in 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.
On January 25, a torrential rainstorm overflowed the Bronx River and muddied the battlefield, making troop movement nearly impossible for the Patriots. A British counterassault and the pending snowstorm forced General Heath to admit defeat, and he ordered his troops to retreat on January 29, 1777.
Fort Independence was first built by the Patriots in 1776 and then burned by them as they retreated from New York City. The British partially rebuilt the fort when they took control later in the year. The fort endured the Patriots' attack in 1777, but was destroyed again as the British left in 1779 . The city park that now exists on the site memorializes the fort on its front gates, as well as in its name.
Also on this day in 1777, Washington placed Major General Israel Putnam in command of all Patriot troops in New York, charging them with defense of the city and its water routes.

January 29, 1780: On the morning of January 29th we had ten fathoms of water; the air was clear, and we were at latitude 32° 29’ north. At two o’clock in the afternoon a sailor cried out from the mast, “Land!” I do not believe that the Ten Thousand Greeks, when they beheld the Black Sea after their difficult retreat through Asia, could have been more joyful over the sight of the sea than we were over the word “Land!” Every face brightened. Toward three o’clock the fleet heaved to in order to assemble. Today we saw wild ducks and sea gulls in great numbers, which looked as welcome to us in the air as when we saw them fried in a pan at other times.

January 29, 1784: Adams County, Ohio was known as the mouth of Brush Creek, where it flow into the Ohio; with its head waters forming as far north as Highland County Ohio. Where Brush Creek meets the Ohio River, a level stretch of land spreads out at the froot of Iron Ridge; which is a noted historical spot in this area. Here in this place, a survey to Churchill Jones, No. 2311, perhaps a thousand acres, part of the former survey of 4,000 acresw warranted to Chruchill Jones, who served as a Captain on the Virginia Cont. Line Establishment. It is doubtful that his whole 4,000 acres were situated at this Brush Creek, although 1,000 acres of the survey was sold to Noble Grives, uncle of Effie (Grimes) Crawford (wife of the 5th great granduncle), wife of Lt. John Crawford.(5th great granduncle) The former survey was dated January 29, 1784, while the 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grives was dated in Oct. 1799, on No. 459. (See record in Auditor’s office at the State House in Columbus.). Whether the whole 1,000 acres purchased by Noble Grimes, was also located there is not known, but limited research reveals quite a stretch of land belonging to Noble Grimes, existed in this Ohio River shoreline area.

January 29, 1790: "The Jews of Paris obtained a certificate, couched in most flattering terms, and testifying to their excellent reputation, from the inhabitants of the district of the Carmelites, where most Jews dwelt at this time.”

Name: King George III
Full Name: George William Frederick
Born: June 4, 1738 at Norfolk House, St. James Square, London
Parents: Frederick Prince of Wales, and Augusta of Saxe-Gotha
Relation to Elizabeth II: 3rd great-grandfather
House of: Hanover
Ascended to the throne: October 25, 1760 aged 22 years
Crowned: September 22, 1761 at Westminster Abbey
Married: Charlotte, daughter of Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Children: Ten sons including George IV and William IV, and six daughters
Died: January 29, 1820 at Windsor Castle, aged 81 years, 7 months, and 24 days
Buried at: Windsor
Reigned for: 59 years, 3 months, and 2 days
Succeeded by: his son George IV
George III, unlike his father and grandfather, was born in England. He became heir to the throne when his father
Frederick, Prince of Wales, died in 1751 from a lung abscess (believed to be caused by a blow on the chest
from a cricket ball) before he could succeed his father. George was shy and stubborn but well educated in
science and arts. He became King George III in 1760 following the death of his grandfather. In 1761, after
an official search for a suitable wife, he married Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz whom he first met
on his wedding day. The couple enjoyed a happy marriage and he never took a mistress. They had 16 children
including George (later George IV) and William (who became William IV) and they were married for 57 years.
In 1762 he purchased Buckingham House in London which later became Buckingham Palace. George had high
moral standards, and appalled by the loose morals of his brothers introduced the Royal Marriage Act in 1772 which
made it illegal for members of the Royal Family to marry without the consent of the Sovereign. He was interested in
agricultural improvement, and during his reign there were advances in manufacturing mechanisation including the
spinning frame and steam engine.
George was determined to be thrifty with his own and public expenses. He handed Parliament the right of income
from Crown Estates in return for a Civil List annuity for the support of his household and expenses, an arrangement
that continues today. Britain had been fighting a colonial war against France since 1756 with military success but at
high financial cost. George appointed Lord Bute to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1762 to end the Seven years war.
This caused patriotic outrage for the concessions it gave to the French including the rights of French colonists in
North America to remain in Quebec and New Orleans. Lord North became Prime Minister determined to make the
colonies pay for their own security. The Stamp Act of 1765 levied a tax on every official document in the British
colonies and high customs duties introduced. These were mostly repealed in the face of American protests, with
the exception of the tax on tea. In 1773 colonists threw chests of tea overboard in Boston harbour in a protest know
as the ‘Boston tea party’.
The American War of Independence began in April 1775 when colonists fought British troops at Lexington. George
Washington was appointed commander of the Continental Army. On 4 July 1776 the Continental Congress under
leadership of John Hancock declared independence. Fighting continued until 1781 when the British were defeated
by Americans and French at Yorktown. In the Treaty of Paris in 1783 Britain agreed to recognise American
independence. King George took the loss badly and considered abdication before facing the political and
military realities. 1788 he suffered his first attack of insanity (now believed to be the result of the inherited
disease porphyria) which was to plague him for the rest of his life. His son George, Prince of Wales, was made
temporary regent an arrangement which became permanent in 1810.
In 1789 France was shaken by revolution and King Louis XVI guillotined in 1793. Britain was once more at war
with France. Attempted revolution by Catholics and French troops in Ireland was crushed and eventually union
with Ireland was passed in 1801. By 1803 Napoleon Bonaparte was assembling a fleet for the invasion of England,
but the French fleet was defeated by Admiral Horatio Nelson at the Battle Trafalgar in 1805. Napoleon defeated the
Russians at Austerlitz but was forced to withdraw from Moscow by the Russian winter. The battles continued with
the Peninsular War in which the British fought to drive the French from Spain. Napoleon was eventually defeated
by British and German forces at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. George III died at Windsor Castle on January 29
1820, after a reign of almost 60 years - the third longest in British history, and was succeeded by his son George IV.

George IV (George Augustus Frederick; August 12, 1762 – June 26, 1830) was king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and king of Hanover following the death of his father, George III, on January 29, 1820, until his own death ten years later. From 1811 until his accession, he served as Prince Regent during his father's final mental illness.
January 29, 1834: On this day in 1834, Andrew Jackson (2nd cousin 8x removed) becomes the first president to use federal troops to quell labor unrest.
Workers building the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal were rebelling because of persistent poor working conditions and low pay. The canal project, initially designed by George Washington, was intended to ease transportation of goods from the Chesapeake Bay to the Ohio River Valley. Barges navigating the Potomac River, the main conduit between the Chesapeake and inland waterways, were forced to contend with challenging rapids and tributaries, which hindered American commerce. As early as 1772, George Washington received a charter from the colony of Virginia to survey alternate routes from the Potomac—he envisioned a canal that would bypass the river's rapids and falls. Washington's plan included building locks that raised barges at increases in elevation. Interrupted by the American Revolution, Washington returned to the project after the war and organized the Patowmack Company in 1785. The Patowmack Company built several canals along the Maryland and Virginia shorelines—engineers later deemed the lock systems at Little Falls, Maryland, and Great Falls, Virginia, innovative in concept and construction. Washington sometimes even supervised the harrowing, dangerous work himself, which entailed the removal of earth and boulders by manual labor.
After Washington's death, the Patowmack Company folded. However, in 1823, legislators, business leaders and engineers held a convention in the capital to revive and expand the canal project. With plans to achieve a safe inland waterway route to the Ohio River, the newly chartered Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company began construction in 1828. President John Quincy Adams ceremoniously broke ground on what became an enterprise fraught with financial difficulties and frequent labor stoppages. The incredibly rocky ground proved nearly impossible to excavate and years of slow progress sent costs soaring. In addition, property owners fought the canal's passage through their land, exacerbating the situation.
Construction teams consisted primarily of Irish, German, Dutch and black workers who, with primitive tools, were forced to work long hours for low wages in dangerous conditions. Fed up, the workers rioted on January 29, but were quickly put down by federal troops. The move set a dangerous precedent for future labor-management relations. When labor uprisings increased toward and into the turn of the century, business leaders were confident in the knowledge that they could turn to local, state or federal government leaders to head off labor unrest. Although work resumed on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the project was finally abandoned in 1850, with the farthest reach of the canal ending at Cumberland, Maryland.
January 29, 1830: Benjamin Franklin Nix (7th cousin 4x removed) (b. December 28, 1872 in AL / d. January 29, 1930 in AL).
January 29, 1850
Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky introduces eight resolutions in the Senate regarding free or slave status for new states, known as the Compromise of 1850.
January 29, 1856: Fanny Caroline Cavender (b. January 29, 1856 / d. July 23, 1865).
January 29, 1861: Kansas became the 34th state of the Union. Kansas is admitted to the Union as a free state. It was the 34th state to enter the Union. The struggle between pro- and anti-slave forces in Kansas was a major factor in the eruption of the Civil War.
In 1854, Kansas and Nebraska were organized as territories with popular sovereignty (popular vote) to decide the issue of slavery. There was really no debate over the issue in Nebraska, as the territory was filled with settlers from the Midwest, where there was no slavery. In Kansas, the situation was much different. Although most of the settlers were anti-slave or abolitionists, there were many pro-slave Missourians lurking just over the border. When residents in the territory voted on the issue, many fraudulent votes were cast from Missouri. This triggered the massive violence that earned the area the name "Bleeding Kansas." Both sides committed atrocities, and the fighting over the issue of slavery was a preview of the Civil War.
Kansas remained one of the most important political questions throughout the 1850s. Each side drafted constitutions, but the anti-slave faction eventually gained the upper hand. Kansas entered the Union as a free state, but the conflict continued in Kansas into the Civil War. The state was the scene of some of the most brutal acts of violence during the war. One extreme example was the sacking of Lawrence in 1863, when pro-slave forces murdered nearly 200 men and burned the anti-slave town.
January 29, 1863: JEPTHA M. CRAWFORD (3rd cousin 4x removed), b. December 28, 1812, Estell County, Kentucky; d. January 29, 1863, Jackson County, Missouri/ Blue Springs Cemetery. JEPTHA M.8 CRAWFORD (VALENTINE "VOL"7, JOSEPH "JOSIAH"6, VALENTINE5, VALENTINE4, WILLIAM3, MAJOR GENERAL LAWRENCE2, HUGH1) was born December 28, 1812 in Estell County, Kentucky, and died January 29, 1863 in Jackson County, Missouri/ Blue Springs Cemetery. He married ELIZABETH (BETSY) HARRIS January 30, 1832 in Jackson County, Missouri, daughter of RUBAN HARRIS and MARGARET MCALEXANDER.
Notes for JEPTHA M. CRAWFORD:
Settled 1831 a short distance South of Oak Grove near Round Prairie, Jackson County, Missouri.
Bought 40 acres, April 25, 1833 in Section 15 Range 48 Township 30. Jackson County Missouri.
Bought 40 acres, May 31, 1836 Section 15 Range 48 Township 30. Jackson County, Missouri.
Bought 40 acres from Richard and Saryn Sneed, September 19, 1846 (NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 S15 T49 R30)
Notes for RILEY CRAWFORD:
After Riley's father, Jeptha, was murdered by troops of Captain Penick, January 29, 1862, Riley's mother, Elizabeth, took him to William Quantrill and asked him to make a guerrilla of him, so he could avenge his father's death.
He was not only one of the youngest but also one of the hardest fighters on Quantrill's roster. After the Battle of Baxter Springs while eating supper and drinking whiskey from captured rations, Riley stepped up to one of the dead soldiers and said, 'Get up you S.O.B....and to everyone's surprise rise the man, having feigned death and thinking he had been discovered, stood up before him. Riley drew his pistol and shot him dead.

January 29th, 1865: We was relieved from picket at a 11 o’clock a.m. Since the great fire there has been a great many torpedoes and shell and large quantity of powder found in different buildings in all parts of the city. It seems that a portion of the citizens intend to destroy the city if possible.
The guards has orders to arrest all suspicious persons.
Arriving in Savannah, the troops found that the prices were very high, and many prominent citizens were receiving rations fronm the army. Some were shocked to find ladies dressed in silk, engaged in the humble occupation of rag picker. Rigby showed little Christian charity as he recordede, “…the sad expression of contenance betray all the effects of a wicked cause… well may the matron and fair maidens of this land sit in ashes and drape their ulcerated hearts.” Private Rigby accompanied Captain James Martin to visit a sick woman whose husband was in the Copnfederate army and whose familoy was libving upon the hospitality of “Uncle Sam.” Again Rigby bitterly penned, “While the husband is fighting to sustain barbarism, Union officers and soldiers are praying for the salvation of his household.

January 29, 2001: "Where We Come From: Recent advances in genetics are starting to illuminate the wanderings of early humans." U.S. News and World Report (January 29, 2001). Excerpts:
"On the Internet, Carvin located Family Tree DNA, a small Houston firm created to answer such questions. He mailed in a sample of his DNA, gathered by swabbing the inside of his cheek, and waited. In late October, he got a call from Bennett Greenspan, president of Family Tree DNA. Not only did his Y chromosome have the cohanim markers-small genetic variations-but other markers matched with those of another man in the database, making it likely that they share a forefather within the past 250 years... Since then, other researchers have used the cohanim markers to ascertain that the Lemba, a Bantu-speaking people in Southern Africa who have traditionally claimed Jewish ancestry, do indeed have Semitic roots. And last June, Hammer published results showing that although Palestinian and Jewish men may be political foes, they are also brethren, so closely related as to be genetically indistinguishable."
• January 29, 2009: Pope lifts excommunications of 4 bishops, including Holocaust denier
• Last Updated: Saturday, January 24, 2009 | 10:19 PM ET
• The Associated Press
• Pope Benedict has lifted the excommunications of four traditionalist bishops, including a Holocaust denier whose rehabilitation sparked outrage among Jewish groups.
• The four bishops were excommunicated 20 years ago after they were consecrated by the late ultraconservative Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre without papal consent — a move the Vatican said at the time was an act of schism.
• The Vatican said Saturday that Benedict rehabilitated the four as part of his efforts to bring Lefebvre's Society of St. Pius X back into the Vatican's fold.
• But the move came just days after one of the four, British Bishop Richard Williamson, was shown in a Swedish state TV interview saying that historical evidence "is hugely against six million Jews having been deliberately gassed."
Is this the skull of Count Carl Von Donop, Hessian Commander?
On Saturday, January 29th, five intrepid docents from the Whitall House, Red Bank Battlefield, National Park, NJ, drove up the snowy highway to the Clarke House, on the Princeton Battlefield. We enjoyed a highly informative tour given by John Mills, a lifelong Revolutionary War historian, re-enactor, and historic site curator. He's also a black-powder expert. I saw Mills do a black-powder demo at Walnford historic site many months ago. He demonstrated both cannon and rifle firing. On this day, he gave us a fascinating description of this momentous battle of the Revolutionary War. It is generally regarded, along with the Battle of Trenton, as the turning point in the war for Independence. It is part of what is known as The Ten Crucial Days. This farm house is the site of the death of the heroic General Hugh Mercer, who was bludgeoned, bayonetted and died of his wounds in the Clarke farmhouse.
The house has both period furnished rooms and a museum that features weapons and ammo as well as many prints, and maps depicting the battle.
The grounds were breathtakingly beautiful in the fresh deep snow.
After touring the Clarke House, we headed to New Brunswicke where we examined the alleged skull of Count Carl Von Donop, the Hessian commander who died of his wounds at Red Bank Battlefield in October of 1777.
The skull was donated to the special collections department of the library but no other provenance exists to identify the donor or prove whether the skull is in fact Count Von Donop's. He was buried near the site of the battle and it has been alleged that his bones were later dug up. It is known that bones of the soldiers buried on the battlefield were washed out the banks of the Delaware after floods, and dug up by vandals and scattered.
Whitall House, Red Bank Battlefield
Hessian wounded were treated in the Whitall house. Those that died on the spot were buried in unmarked graves. Others died nearby in the Woodbury Friends Meeting House and their remains were buried in The Strangers' Cemetery which was later moved to an almost forgotten site outside of town. More Hessians who died on the retreat were buried in Glendora. Survivors who were captured, were imprisoned in Philadelphia.
The monument at Red Bank Battlefield is engraved with a quote alleged to have been uttered by the dying Count Von Donop that he died "the victim of my own ambition and the avarice of my prince." Some dispute that he ever actually said this and it was attributed to a later observation by an unnamed French man.
If you are interested in learning more about this battle, I'll be listing some good books from a brochure offered at the Clarke House.
