March 18, 37: The Roman Senate annuls Tiberius' will and proclaims Caligula emperor. Caligula ruled from 37 until his death in 41. From the Jewish perspective he was not so much an anti-Semite as a lunatic whose crazy behavior affected the Jews. The biggest problems rose from his belief that he was a god and his insistence that the Jews, along with the rest of the Empire worship him. The Jews did not which led to a major confrontation. Additionally, Caligula wanted to place a huge statue of himself in Jerusalem. Fortunately he died before this travesty could take place.[1]
March 18, 1532: The Commons delivered a supplication to the King denouncing clerical abuses and the power of the ecclesiastical courts and describing Henry as "the only head, sovereign lord, protector, and defender" of the church. The clergy resisted at first, but capitulated when faced with the threat of Parliamentary reprisal.[2]
March 18, 1536: An Act for the Suppression of the Lesser Monasteries, those with a gross income of less than £200 per annum, had passed both houses. This caused a clash with Anne Boleyn, who wanted the proceeds of the dissolution used for charitable purposes, not paid into the King's coffers.[3]
March 18, 1554: Elizabeth I (8th cousin 14x removed) was brought to court, and interrogated regarding her role, and on March 18, she was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Elizabeth fervently protested her innocence.[32] Though it is unlikely that she had plotted with the rebels, some of them were known to have approached her. Mary's closest confidant, Charles V's ambassador Simon Renard, argued that her throne would never be safe while Elizabeth lived; and the Chancellor, Stephen Gardiner, worked to have Elizabeth put on trial.[33] Elizabeth's supporters in the government, including Lord Paget, convinced Mary to spare her sister in the absence of hard evidence against her.[4]
March 18, 1566: Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots (9th cousin 13x removed) escaped from the palace, and took temporary refuge in Dunbar Castle before returning to Edinburgh on March 18.[103] The former rebels Lords Moray, Argyll and Glencairn were restored to the council.[104][5] Mary escaped from Edinburgh to Dunbar and by March 18, returned with a formidable force. Knox fled to Kyle in Ayrshire, where he completed the major part of his magnum opus, History of the Reformation in Scotland.[78] When he returned to Edinburgh, he found the protestant nobles divided over what to do with Mary. Lord Darnley had been murdered and the Queen almost immediately married the chief suspect, the Earl of Bothwell. The indictment of murder thus upon her, she had been forced to abdicate and was imprisoned in Loch Leven Castle. Lord Moray had become the regent of King James VI. Other old friends of Knox's, Lord Argyll and William Kirkcaldy, stood by Mary.[6]
March 18, 1580: To THE Archbishop of Glasgow.
From Sheffield, the 18th March [1580.] [7]
My Lord of Glasgow, — I have never hoped for a very much better result, in reference to the support which I required from the King of France, than what you have written to me in your last of 31st December and 26th January ; so you will have learned, by my former ones, how, foreseeing
what would be the success of it, I have wished to gain time by another overture and negotiation, being unable, in the state I am in, to do anything else but seek, from all parts, some foreign aid, without which I do not see how they can achieve, either here or in Scotland, any enterprise of great importance. And, therefore, I desire that, with all possible diligence, you will strive to obtain a certain reply to what I
wrote to you to propose to the Spanish ambassador ; in order that, if the king his master inclines to listen to it, they may direct the plans necessary to this effect in Scotland to anticipate in time such as those in this quarter make there, whether it be to get the person of my son into their hands, as some have informed me, or to reinstate the credit and authority of Morton and those of his faction, to which it is very necessary to look promptly.
I hear that the Hamiltons are of the party, and that, under pretence of their restoration, this queen has resolved to send in a short time an army to Scotland, which has caused my son to withdraw to Stirling, with the determination, if he should find himself pressed, of gaining Dumbarton. Inform the Duke of Guise of this, so that, if necessity requires it, he may speak of it, and you also, to the king ; and, in default of all other remedy and assistance, he may himself attempt
the removal of my son, as I have formerly written, it being now more easy than ever to execute it, by means of the Earl of Argyll, and of M. d'Aubigny, who have all power and authority about him, and even with consent of the child, when he shall perceive himself sued from this side in behalf of those whom he has always considered as enemies.
And, in the meantime, it will be very proper that the Duke of Guise should dispatch some gentleman to my son, under pretence of visiting him, as he himself has desired, in order to treat with those who are about him, who will not suffer him to know all that they write, if by chance there should happen any difficulty about the title of king, for which the Duke of Guise can excuse himself upon the ground of the
advantage which my rebels would take of it (inasmuch as that would be to approve of all their rebellions and past treasons, wherein he may be sure that my son would not, in any manner whatever, be seen to participate, nor to sanction them with his own dishonour, and the blame which would redound to him therein throughout Christendom) ; and that he need not doubt that I will heartily concede it to him, and assure him of all that pertains to me in this world, when he shall recog-
nize his duty towards me. Endeavour, also, that the Duke of Guise may send him a couple of horses ready broken, for I have heard that he has sent to ask for them here. It appears to me that the king cannot allege any apparent reason for refusing me his assistance in such extremity, if it should happen, inasmuch as this queen will have been the first to infringe the stipulations of their alliance ; and the treaty of marriage with his brother is in such terms that it cannot do much injury to it, as Pinart has represented to you. I regret that the king and his council have had hitherto so little care of their adherents my faithful subjects, who, seeing themselves abandoned, are constrained to sue to his enemies and mine, who do not reject them, but dexterously know to strengthen themselves with them. Fîowever, I cannot approve of my Lord Claude and his brother,*[8] united, as they say, with Morton, having gone so far into this negotiation without my knowledge, especially with the Earl of Huntingdon and Walsingham, the leaders of my enemies in this kingdom, to whom they must be reciprocally obliged, beyond their duty, to extract from them the assistance which is promised to them ; and, however it may be, they cannot treat and conclude to my advantage with these people, who so long have sought
for my destruction and that of my son, to advance the pretension of the said Earl of Huntingdon in the succession of this crown, fear that M. de Mauvissière has not given information of this design, and that, in consequence of this, they have not recalled the pension of my Lord Arbroath, whose intention I beg you will sound, and soon speak to him on the subject in my name, declaring to him tliat I desire more than any other their restoration, having enjoined it to my son, and caused it to be procured by those who remain faithful to me about him,
when Nau went to Scotland, now that my recommendation has been of so little force and effect, but the means which they employ is to me infinitely suspicious and disagreeable. They know, and you can prove to them, the little correspondence which I have had with the said Aubigny, who has gained the footing which he has in Scotland in a manner
against my will. For you may remember that I retarded and interrupted his journey as far as I could ; and yet I have no cause for agreeing with him, except in default of another more certain and ready method of ruining, as he has commenced, Morton's faction, which is the sole and principal ground for the restoration of my affairs, and for bringing back my son to my interests; but, besides this consideration, for the affection which he ought to feel to his own, from whom I have received so many annoyances and afflictions. And, to conclude this, I beg and charge you most expressly to see, according to your duty and fidelity, as much as you can to the preservation of my son, as that which
I hold most dear in this world, in case that my enemies proceed further or by force against him, under the name of the said Hamiltons, to whom they draw, not so much to assist them, as to strengthen themselves against me and my son. I cannot tell you the excessive sorrow and uneasiness which I have had, in consequence of the news from Robert Melvil, which had been concealed from me till now, owing to my last
illness ; but since then, having communicated with Bourgoing, he has assured me, by his God, that there is no appearance of danger, and I myself had the same indigestion about the same age, from which I may say that Lusgérie alone relieved me, contrary to the opinion of all his fellows ; and therefore you will do well to consult with him, so as to send his advice and prescription to some of the principal people about my son, to give orders therein. I remember especially that they made
me wear ivory on the stomach, and that I used confected nuts and nutmegs before refection. Discharge, also, the vow which I formerly made for my said son, namely, to send his weight in virgin wax, when it could be procured, to our Lady of Clery, and cause a novena to be said there. Besides which, I desire that you cause a mass to be sung in the said church daily, for the space of a year, and distribute there each day thirteen trezains*[9] to thirteen poor persons, the first who pre-
sent themselves on each successive day. On Monday last there arrived here a man from my Lord Seton, who assured me that my son is quite well, and that he is growing stout and very strong from the exercise which he takes since he has some liberty. As to what the said Lord
Seton has written to me of the journey which his son was about to take to Spain, requesting me to appoint him my ambassador there, it is a thing so full of suspicion, that the least rumour of it here or in France would greatly retard the effect of all that, by other means, I could negotiate ; and therefore I consider it safer to proceed secretly by you and the gentlemen my relations, without being burdened with
anything which relates to it.
Advise again my faithful subjects who are banished, to return with all speed, while there is need of their service, and that they can, by this means, make themselves acceptable to my son to restore them to their estates. For my part, I find as little means as opportunity to rosecute my return to Scotland, until things are in a better state to secure and maintain my authority there. And '^yet,'* if I could accomplish, on whatever terms, my deliverance' from this captivity, I do not doubt hat my affairs would be in every way better regarded and promoted. But I see few who exert themselves to make me the way, and fewer have safely taught me to set myself forward. I had, as I wrote to you, entertained some overtures here, rather in the view of sounding the ford than of crossing it ; but, in consequence of the duke's marriage, all has been interrupted, as I was afraid of causing myself to be distrusted by this queen, and of injuring the effect of this marriage, much desired by all the Catholics of this kingdom. I think that to enter more safely and honourably into a negotiation for my deliverance, it should begin on the part of my son and the chief of the Scottish nobility, making
it be requested by them, and thereafter adding the recommendations and urgent entreaties of Christian princes, which, with my own and those of the friends whom I have here, would, in my opinion, strike a great blow ; otherwise I do not see, at present, any appearance of bringing it to an^end. Write to me upon this the private opinion of yourself and my other friends and servants, to whom you write to me you have spoken concerning it, so that I may know what other means they can propose to me.
If possible, make Balfour*[10] write to me fully about the bond which he saw signed for the murder of the late king my husband, or give you a copy of it written by his own hand. Do not suffer to pass, accordingly, the insult which was paid me in the last ceremony of the Holy Ghost, and complain of it very urgently to the king and the queenmother, to whom I shall write regarding it by the first opportunity, noYV^ that I think that this difficulty will not exist if the King of Spain preserves his right to the succession of Portugal, where I hear that he employs his army. Leicester is still in disfavour, although he disguises it as much as he can. They give me great hopes of gaining
Burleigh completely, which, were it so, I should think that I had
made a great conquest. They say that the Earl of Oxford is soon going to Spain ; if he takes his route through France, tell the Duke of Guise to use him, on my account, as courteously as he can. Cause to be done quickly what I have ordered to Wilson, inasmuch as he has been very hastily warned by M. de Mauvissière. Deliver to Morgan one hundred crowns, to make up the six hundred livres of which I have made him
a present for this year. I await your reply regarding the particulars of the institution of the seminary, that I may see thereto according to your advice. And, in the meanwhile, I pray God that He may have you, my Lord of Glasgow, in His holy keeping.

March 18, 1582: The Prince of Orange is wounded at Antw^erp by Sauregui, who, at the instigation of some fanatical priests, had attempted to assassinate him.
In the meantime. Parsons had sent into Scotland the Jesuit Creighton, to learn positively what w^ere the intentions of the Duke of Lennox on the subject of the intended attempts in favour of Mary. At the same time, M. Paul, a favourite equerry of the Duke of Guise, arrived at the court of James VL"^ [12]
May 1581: Creighton, having rejoined Parsons in Flanders, assures him of the good disposition of James YI, and the most influential nobles of his court, * In conformity with the desire expressed by Mary, this gentleman had been entrusted with a secret mission to James VI, under
the pretext of taking him a present of horses from the Duke of Guise. The same gentleman had, in 1572, been sent to Rome by the duke to announce to the Cardinal of Lorraine, then resident there, the first intelligence of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and carry thither at the same time the head of Admiral Coligny.

March 18, 1584: Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible passed away. Ivan was terrible for the Jews as well as for everybody else. He did all that he could to bar them from Russia, spreading the calumnies of the day, and, when he had the chance, giving them the choice between conversion or a cruel death.[14]

March 18, 1655: Dutch Minister Johannes Megapolensis wrote a letter to the Amsterdam Classis, a ruling body in the Reform Church attacking the Jews who had recently arrived in New Amsterdam.[17]
March 18, 1669: In Halberstadt which had been annexed Brandenburg as part of the Peace of Westphalia, a mob aided by the military demolished a synagogue in the Joeddenstrasse. The people claimed that the Jews had built the synagogue without permission from the government. For some time after, the hammer that was used to break the door of the synagogue was “preserved in the parish house.”[18]
March 18, 1749: The earliest recorded ―road‖ heading west from ―Wills Creek‖ was the circa 1749 Twightwee Indian road to Pickawillany at or near the present town of Piqua, Ohio. By 1753, branches of a second road, financed by the Ohio Company, went to the present-day areas of Brownsville and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At least part of the Ohio Company road was laid out and marked by the Indian Nemacolin13. The Ohio Company road was repaired by Washington‘s forces in 1754, and further improved by Braddock‘s forces in 1755. Braddock‘s road and the new Turkey Foot Road became the principal routes of travel west from Cumberland. A variety of literature reports, without supporting documentary evidence, that Nemacolin and Thomas Cresap blazed and cleared the Ohio Company road in 1749. Such statements are probably the conflation of two facts: (1)According to the Ohio Company‘s ―second petition‖, their land charter was dated March 18, 1749, and (2)According to the biographer of Thomas‘s son Michael Cresap, the Ohio Company employed Nemacolin to mark and lay out the road. The earliest actual evidence of a completed road that we have seen was written on November 22, 1752.[19].
March 18, 1766: The English Parliament passes the Declaratory Act giving England the power to pass laws binding on the Colonies.[20]
March 18, 1766: The English Parliament repeals the Stamp Act after intense opposition in the Colonies.[21]
March 18, 1776
General Washington (grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) entered on the road that for a century and a half was the only road into or out of town in Boston. All commerce had to pass by here, unless it went by boat. General Washinton entered Boston on this street on March 18, 1776, the day after the British troops evacuated the city; his triumphant march into town that day marked his first victory of the war. After a tremendous parade, this “highway to Roxbury” was renamed in Washington’s honor.[22]
March 18, 1776: After four months of widespread protest in America, the British Parliament repeals the Stamp Act, a taxation measure enacted to raise revenues for a standing British army in America.
The Stamp Act was passed on March 22, 1765, leading to an uproar in the colonies over an issue that was to be a major cause of the Revolution: taxation without representation. Enacted in November 1765, the controversial act forced colonists to buy a British stamp for every official document they obtained. The stamp itself displayed an image of a Tudor rose framed by the word "America" and the French phrase Honi soit qui mal y pense--"Shame to him who thinks evil of it."
The colonists, who had convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the impending enactment, greeted the arrival of the stamps with outrage and violence. Most Americans called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on the customhouses and homes of tax collectors. After months of protest, and an appeal by Benjamin Franklin before the British House of Commons, Parliament voted to repeal the Stamp Act in March 1766. However, the same day, Parliament passed the Declaratory Acts, asserting that the British government had free and total legislative power over the colonies.[23]

March 1804: In 1800, General Napoleon Bonaparte, as the new dictator of France, began the arduous task of revising France's outdated and muddled legal system. He established a special commission, led by J.J. Cambaceres, which met more than 80 times to discuss the revolutionary legal revisions, and Napoleon presided over nearly half of these sessions. In March 1804, the Napoleonic Code was finally approved.
It codified several branches of law, including commercial and criminal law, and divided civil law into categories of property and family. The Napoleonic Code made the authority of men over their families stronger, deprived women of any individual rights, and reduced the rights of illegitimate children. All male citizens were also granted equal rights under the law and the right to religious dissent, but colonial slavery was reintroduced. The laws were applied to all territories under Napoleon's control and were influential in several other European countries and in South America.[28]
March 1809, Jonathon Jennings came to believe that his future in the Harrison dominated western part of the territory was bleak, so he left Vincennes and moved to Charlestown

resigned from office and Harrison ordered a special election to fill the vacancy. Jennings entered the race against Harrison’s candidate Thomas Randolph. He campaigned across the territory, riding from settlement to settlement to give speeches against slavery. He spoke against what he believed to be the aristocratic tendencies of the territorial government, which was almost entirely appointed by the governor, and their attempts to legalize slavery and deny rights to the new immigrants to the territory. He found his greatest support among the growing Quaker community in the eastern part of the territory.

In March 1820, Congress had authorized Missouri to form a state government, but a clause in the proposed state constitution prohibiting the entrance of free blacks and julattoes into Missouri rekindled opposition to the territory’s admission.[31]
March 1822: With the idea of division in mind (Bullskin and Connellsville) the court was again petitioned in March, 1822, when an order was issued to Isaac (1st cousin 6x removed) , Moses Vance, (2nd cousin 5x removed) and Thomas Boyd to act as commissioners to view the proposed township.

Henrietta Mildred Hodgson (January 6, 1805 – November 19, 1891) was an English lady with both royal and presidential genealogical connections.
Through her Virginia ancestry, Queen Elizabeth II and her descendants are related to George Washington, the common ancestor of both being Augustine Warner, Jr.
Life and family
Born 6 January 1805, Henrietta Mildred was the daughter of the Very Rev. Robert Hodgson (1776–1844), Dean of Carlisle from 1820 until his death; and of Mary Tucker, born in 1778, a daughter of Colonel Martin Tucker. Her parents had married in 1804. Her grandfather was another Robert Hodgson (born 1740), of Congleton in Cheshire.[1][2]
On March 18, 1824 at St George's, Hanover Square, Westminster, she married Oswald Smith (July 7, 1794 – June 18, 1863) of St Marylebone and Blendon Hall in Kent. The parish register gives one of the few clues to her date of birth, as she is noted as "a minor". Oswald was the second son of George Smith.[3][4]
The Smiths had the following children: Isabella Mary (born 24 April 1825, d. 1907) m. 1847 Cadogan Hodgson Cadogan (of Brinkburn Priory), Oswald Augustus (b. 21 October 1826, d. 1902) m. 1856 Rose Sophia Vansittart, Eric Carrington (b. 25 May 1828, d. 1906) m. 1849 Mary Maberly, Laura Charlotte (b. 2 August 1829) m. 1848 Col. Evan Maberly, Beilby (b. 12 August 1830, d. 1831), Frances Dora (29 July 1832, d. 1922) m. 1853 Claude Bowes-Lyon 13th Earl of Strathmore, Marion Henrietta (b. 25 Feb 1835, d. 1897) m.1854 Lt-Col Henry Dorrien Streatfeild (of Chiddingstone Castle).[5][6]
In 1853 the Smiths' daughter Frances married Claude Bowes-Lyon, later Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. She thus became the great-grandmother of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who was later the mother of Queen Elizabeth II.
Henrietta Mildred was the granddaughter of Mildred Porteus, who married the older Robert Hodgson, who was herself the granddaughter of Robert and Mildred Porteus, until 1720 of Virginia, who in that year moved to Yorkshire. The earlier Mildred Porteus was the daughter of John and Mary Smith, Mary being a daughter of Augustine Warner, Jr. and a sister of Mildred Warner, who married Lawrence Washington (1659–1698) and was the grandmother of the first US President, George Washington.[7]
Henrietta Mildred Smith died 19 November 1891. At her death, her memorial in All Saints Church, Sanderstead, states:

Chiddingstone Castle, Kent
Back
Situated in the beautiful Weald of Kent, Chiddingstone Castle was originally a medieval manor, but at the beginning of the 18th century, it was rebuilt as a Carolean mansion. Owned by Squire Henry Streatfield, the new mansion was designed in the style of a castle, with towers, arched windows and a gatehouse structure. Unfortunately, only the north and south wings had been completed when building work ceased, probably as a result of the enormous expense incurred in the planned renovations.
During the 1930s the whole estate was sold off and from this time Chiddingstone Castle suffered quite severely from a general lack of maintenance and sheer neglect. Moreover, it was occupied by the Army during World War II, and some later used as a school for a number of years.
The building continued to deteriorate until 1955 when Denys Eyre Bower bought the castle, and gave it a new lease of life. Eyre Bower was a passionate collector, and decided that he would display his numerous possessions in Chiddingstone Castle and open it up to the public, so that visitors could also take pleasure in his works of art in the comfortable surroundings of a 'private' home.
It is these works of art that the castle is now renowned for, and they include:
•The Egyptian collection, which extends from Pre-Dynastic to Ptolemaic times, and contains statuettes or 'shabti' and models;
•The Japanese collection, to be found in the north Gothic Hall and other rooms, and comprising swords, lacquer work and fine art; and
•The Stuart collection, which consists of several mementoes and paintings displayed in rooms styled from that period.
Chiddingstone Castle also houses a substantial Buddhist collection, emanating from Eyre Bower's particular interest in Japanese culture and the influence this form of religion had in their society. The formal gardens, also landscaped in keeping with the castle 'style', take the form of a park with woodland areas, as well as open heathland, a lake, the ruined Orangery, and the octagonal Gothic Tower of the old well-house. These gardens are now Grade II listed.
This charming spot, deep in the Kent countryside, gives pleasure to all kinds of visitors throughout the year. There are those who come to marvel at the Oriental antiquities in the house, others who come to explore the grounds and enjoy a sunny family picnic, and some, like us, who arrive with a battery of fishing tackle to try our luck in the splendid, lily clad lake. Whatever your interests, Chiddingstone Castle is simply a delight, and the village also boasts several fascinating buildings, including a lovely church.[35]
Castle and Local History
The Castle
The history of Chiddingstone Castle can be traced back to the early 1500s. During its life, the castle has undergone a number of architectural changes and has been owned and lived in by an eclectic mix of people and families.
The early timber-framed Tudor dwelling, inhabited by the Streatfeild family, was first replaced and partly transformed into High Street House in the 1670s. The building went through another transformation during the early 1800s when the then owner, Henry Streatfeild (1757-1829, High Sheriff of Kent, 1792), decided to rebuild the house to resemble a medieval castle and commissioned William Atkinson (1774/5–1839) to design the changes. The high street was diverted to make way for the lake.
Characteristic of the castle’s history, Atkinson’s plans were never completed, due to lack of funds, and the castle’s transformation was partially finished according to Henry Kendall’s (1776-1875) design during the 1830s by Henry Streatfeild’s son, also called Henry (1784-1852).
The Streatfeilds did not occupy the castle after 1900 and finally sold it to Lord Astor in 1938. The castle served as a base for military forces during the Second World War, and General Montgomery reviewed his troops here before taking command of the Eighth Army. After the war, it was home to the Long Dene School until 1955, when Denys Eyre Bower bought it to house his collections.
An exhibition on the history of Chiddingstone Castle explores the different aspects of the castle’s eventful past. Topics covered in the exhibition include the architectural changes of the castle and its surroundings, life at the castle and the use of the castle for educational purposes by the Long Dene School.[36]
Castle and Local History
Domestic Quarters
The Victorian kitchen, servants’ hall and a servant’s bedroom* in the attic are open to the public. The kitchen was in use from the 19th Century until 1955, when Denys Eyre Bower bought the castle to display his collections.
It had been part of an outbuilding containing the servants' quarters and was joined to the castle in the 19th Century by building a carriageway. Up to 20 servants are documented to have worked in Chiddingstone Castle at some point, including a cook, housemaids, nursery maids and footmen. The list of servants in 1881 is displayed.
The kitchen has an original 1860s Gradient range in working order as well as three cake ovens which were heated by their own fire. Two larders above height were used for drying hams and storing both food and kitchen utensils.
There is a separate scullery where all the washing and scrubbing vegetables would have taken place as Victorians did not like having water in their kitchens.
Both adults and children can learn about Victorian life through the objects exhibited. Some of the themes approached are the development of labour-saving gadgets and the role of women in the 19th Century.
There used to be an ice-house and this is explained with maps of its location together with an ice-chest (forerunner of modern day refrigerators), where the ice would be brought and stored together with food and drinks in order to preserve the latter.
*Please note that the servant’s bedroom is only open to groups of more than 5 people on request to a member of staff. The servants’ stairs are steep and narrow, with no handrail and poorly lit: poor servants!

The Collections
Royal Stuart and Jacobite collections
Denys Bower was fascinated by the Stuarts and the Jacobite cause, and was not only a member of the Stuart Society, but was rumoured to have thought himself a reincarnation of Bonnie Prince Charlie. His passion for the subject resulted in a fascinating, varied collection consisting of a number of high quality portraits, many prints and original royal documents, as well as numerous interesting relics and medals.
Some of the key features of the current exhibition are:
· The heart, hair, blood and garter ribbon of James II
· Two portrait miniatures of James II and Charles II by Samuel Cooper
· Broadswords used in the Battle of Culloden
· A drinks bill written to Prince Charles Edward (Bonnie Prince Charlie)
· A number of artefacts with hidden Jacobite symbols including drinking glasses, snuff boxes, a pincushion and a compass
· A temporary display case on snuff and tobacco boxes (situated in the entrance hall)

March 1824: Robert Lee (husband of the grandniece of the husband of the wife of the grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) received his appointment to West Point, but due to the large number of cadets admitted, Lee would have to wait a year to begin his studies there.[22][38]
March 1829: When the new administration of President Andrew Jackson (2nd cousin 8x removed) took office in March 1829, William Henry Harrison was recalled so they could make their own appointment to the position. He returned to the United States in June.[50][39]
March 18, 1831: Supreme Court declares that the Cherokee Nation is not a “foreign state” but a “domestic, dependent nation” [40]
March 1832: With the Revolution of 1830 and the establishment of the July Monarchy, the status of Versailles changed. In March 1832, the Loi de la Liste civile was promulgated, which designated Versailles as a crown dependency. Like Napoléon before him, Louis-Philippe (17th cousin 5x removed) chose to live at the Grand Trianon; however, unlike Napoléon, Louis-Philippe did have a grand design for Versailles.[41]
In 1833, Louis-Philippe proposed the establishment of a museum dedicated to “all the glories of France,” which included the Orléans dynasty and the Revolution of 1830 that put Louis-Philippe on the throne of France. For the next decade, under the direction of Eugène-Charles-Frédéric Nepveu and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine, the château underwent irreversible alterations (Constans, 1985; 1987; Mauguin, 1937; Verlet, 1985).
March 1836: The Volunteer Auxiliary Corps, was one of the three bodies that made up the March 1836, Texas Army (the other two were the Regular Army, and the Volunteers). Each body had separate enlistment requirements and its own bounties. The VAC was comprised of short term enlistment by men from the United States (Santa Anna's pirates).[42]
March 1837: Richard Owen showed that fossils of extinct species Darwin found in South America were allied to living species on the same continent. In March 1837, ornithologist John Gould announced that Darwin's Rhea was a separate species from the previously described rhea (though their territories overlapped), that mockingbirds collected on the Galápagos Islands represented three separate species each unique to a particular island, and that several distinct birds from those islands were all classified as finches.[22] Darwin began speculating, in a series of notebooks, on the possibility that "one species does change into another" to explain these findings, and around July sketched a genealogical branching of a single evolutionary tree,[43]

[44] John Drew December 5, 1838 March 18, 1839 231 219 NA[45] Detachments arrive With Cherokee refugees at Ft. Gibson, led by named men, on the following dates: March 18, 1839 – John Drew.
March 18, 1844: LOURANA "LOU"8 CRAWFORD (3rd cousin 5x removed) (VALENTINE "VOL"7, JOSEPH "JOSIAH"6, VALENTINE5, VALENTINE4, WILLIAM3, MAJOR GENERAL LAWRENCE2, HUGH1) was born February 08, 1824 in Estell County, Kentucky, and died February 10, 1910 in Crowell Foard County, Texas. She married BSILEY FINNEY March 18, 1844.
Children of LOURANA CRAWFORD and BILEY FINNEY are:
i. LOUIS9 FINNEY.
ii. LOUISA FINNEY, m. MIKE JUDGE. [46]
March 18, 1845: Johnny Appleseed, the character renowned in folk stories was in reality—John Chapman. Born in Massachusetts on September 26, 1774, he moved to Franklin in what is now Venango County in 1797 and lived there until 1804. He had a nursery on French Creek and another in Warren. He moved to the Pittsburgh area, Grant's Hill, on property owned by James O'Hara before moving to Ohio and later to Indiana where he died on March 18, 1845. He led a nomadic existence mixed with preaching and distributing apple seeds to whomever he met. From a practical point of view, Chapman sold the seeds and plantings he developed from them. Some believe that the apple trees of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana owe their existence, to a large part, to the efforts of Johnny Appleseed. [47]

March 1849: Under the guidance of the new prime minister Prince Schwarzenberg, the new emperor at first pursued a cautious course, granting a constitution in early 1849. At the same time, military campaigns were necessary against the Hungarians, who had rebelled against Habsburg central authority under the name of their ancient liberties. Franz Joseph (step 11th great grandson of the 5th cousin 17x removed) was also almost immediately faced with a renewal of the fighting in Italy, with King Charles Albert of Sardinia taking advantage of setbacks in Hungary to resume the war in March 1849. Soon, though, the military tide began to turn in favor of Franz Joseph and the Austrian whitecoats. Almost immediately, Charles Albert was decisively beaten by Radetzky at Novara, and forced both to sue for peace and to abdicate his throne. In Hungary, the situation was more grave and Austrian defeat was quite possible. Sensing a need to secure his right to rule, he sought help from Russia, requesting the intervention of Tsar Nicholas I, in order "to prevent the Hungarian insurrection developing into a European calamity."[8][49]
March 1854: Britain and Russia were embroiled in the Crimean War. Albert devised a masterplan for winning the war by laying siege to Sevastopol while starving Russia economically, which became the Allied strategy after the Tsar decided to fight a purely defensive war.[78] Early British optimism soon faded as the press reported that British troops were ill-equipped and mismanaged by aged generals using out-of-date tactics and strategy. The conflict dragged on as the Russians were as poorly prepared as their opponents. The Prime Minister, Lord Aberdeen, resigned and Palmerston succeeded him.[79] A negotiated settlement eventually put an end to the war with the Treaty of Paris. During the war, Albert arranged to marry his fourteen-year-old daughter, Victoria, to Prince Frederick William of Prussia, though Albert (husband of the 18th cousin 4x removed) delayed the marriage until Victoria was seventeen. Albert hoped that his daughter and son-in-law would be a liberalising influence in the enlarging Prussian state.[80]

Albert involved himself in promoting many public educational institutions. Chiefly at meetings in connection with these he spoke of the need for better schooling.[82] A collection of his speeches was published in 1857. Recognised as a supporter of education and technological progress, he was invited to speak at scientific meetings, such as the memorable address he delivered as president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science when it met at Aberdeen in 1859.[83] His espousal of science spawned opposition from the Church. His proposal of a knighthood for Charles Darwin, after the publication of On the Origin of Species, was rejected.[84]
Albert continued to devote himself to the education of his family and the management of the royal household.[85] His children's governess, Lady Lyttelton, thought him unusually kind and patient, and described him joining in family games with enthusiasm.[86] He felt keenly the departure of his eldest daughter for Prussia when she married her fiancé at the beginning of 1858,[87] and was disappointed that his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, did not respond well to the intense educational programme that Albert had designed for him.[88] At the age of seven, the Prince of Wales was expected to take six hours of instruction, including an hour of German and an hour of French every day.[89] When the Prince of Wales failed at his lessons, Albert caned him.[90] Corporal punishment was common at the time, and was not thought unduly harsh.[91] Albert's biographer Roger Fulford wrote that the relationships between the family members were "friendly, affectionate and normal ... there is no evidence either in the Royal Archives or in the printed authorities to justify the belief that the relations between the Prince and his eldest son were other than deeply affectionate."[92] Philip Magnus wrote in his biography of Albert's eldest son that Albert "tried to treat his children as equals; and they were able to penetrate his stiffness and reserve because they realised instinctively not only that he loved them but that he enjoyed and needed their company."[93][50]
March 1861: Victoria's mother died, with Victoria at her side. Through reading her mother's papers, Victoria discovered that her mother had loved her deeply;[107] she was heart-broken, and blamed Conroy and Lehzen for "wickedly" estranging her from her mother.[108] To relieve his wife during her intense and deep grief,[109] Albert took on most of her duties, despite being ill himself with chronic stomach trouble.[110][51]
March 1861: Abraham Lincoln (9th cousin 1x removed of the wife of the nephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led the United States through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860[1] as the first Republican president, Lincoln, reared in a family of modest means and mostly self-educated, had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the United States Senate. Lincoln was a dedicated, though often necessarily absent, husband, and father of four children. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States,[2] Lincoln won the Republican nomination and was elected president in 1860. His tenure in office was immersed in the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Six days after the large-scale surrender of Confederate forces under Robert E. Lee, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.
Lincoln had closely supervised the war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused the Trent Affair, a war scare with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland late in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war. Additionally, he managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election.
Copperheads and other opponents of the war criticized Lincoln for refusing to compromise on the slavery issue. Conversely, the Radical Republicans criticized him for moving too slowly in abolishing slavery. Even with these opponents, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches;[3] his Gettysburg Address became an iconic symbol of the nation's duty. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents. [52]
March 1861: When Texas seceded from the Union in February 1861, General David E. Twiggs surrendered all the American forces (about 4,000 men, including Lee, and commander of the Department of Texas) to the Texans. Twiggs immediately resigned from the U. S. Army and was made a Confederate general. Lee went back to Washington and was appointed Colonel of the First Regiment of Cavalry in March 1861. Lee's colonelcy was signed by the new President, Abraham Lincoln. Three weeks after his promotion, Colonel Lee was offered a senior command (with the rank of Major General) in the expanding Army to fight the Southern States that had left the Union. Fort Mason, Texas was Lee's last command with the United States Army.[61][53]
March 1862: The Twenty-sixth engaged in battle in New Bern in March 1862, where Zebulon Vance (3rd cousin 6x removed)conducted an orderly retreat. Vance also led the Twenty-sixth at Richmond. The Twenty-sixth was ultimately destroyed at the Battle of Gettysburg, losing more than 700 of its original 800 members, though Vance at that time was no longer in military service. [54]
March 1863: To boost enlistment in Federal armed forces, a system of bounties was developed very early. Men who volunteered to serve for ninety days in 1862 received $25 from Uncle Sam, while those who signed up for a year got twice as much. Riswing throughout the conflict, the bounty paid to a five year volunteer after March 1863 was $400. It is not known what bounty William Harrison Goodlove received. [55]
March 18, 1863: Salisbury, N.C., March 18th [1863]
". . . Salisbury has witnessed to-day one of the gayest and liveliest scenes of the age. About 12 o'clock, a rumor was afloat, that the wives of several soldiers now in the war, intended to make a dash on some flour and other necessities of life, belonging to certain gentlemen, who the ladies termed "speculators." They alleged that they were entirely out of provisions, and unable to give the enormous prices now asked, but were willing to give Government prices. Accordingly, about 2 O'clock they met, some 50 or 75 in number, with axes and hatchets, and proceeded to the depot of the North Carolina Central Road, to impress some there, but were very politely met by the agent, Mr. ---: "What on earth is the matter?" The excited women said they were in search of "flour" which they had learned had been stored there by a certain speculator. . . .Finally . . . they returned to the depot . . . and again demanded the agent that they be allowed to go in. He still refused, but finally agreed to let two go in and examine the flour, and see if his statement was not correct. A restlessness pervaded the whole body, and but a few moments elapsed before a female voice was heard saying: "Let's go in." The agent remarked:-"Ladies . . . it is useless to attempt it, unless you go in over my dead body." A rush was made, and they went in, and the last I saw of the agent, he was sitting on a log blowing like a March wind. They took ten barrels, and rolled them out and were setting on them, when I left, waiting for a wagon to haul them away. . . ." -- Salisbury Daily Carolina Watchman, 23 March, 1863[56]
March 1864: Victoria's self-imposed isolation from the public diminished the popularity of the monarchy, and encouraged the growth of the republican movement.[118] She did undertake her official government duties, yet chose to remain secluded in her royal residences—Windsor Castle, Osborne House, and the private estate in Scotland that she and Albert had acquired in 1847, Balmoral Castle. In March 1864, a protester stuck a notice on the railings of Buckingham Palace that announced "these commanding premises to be let or sold in consequence of the late occupant's declining business".[119] Her uncle Leopold wrote to her advising her to appear in public. She agreed to visit the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at Kensington and take a drive through London in an open carriage.[120]

Through the 1860s, Victoria relied increasingly on a manservant from Scotland, John Brown.[121] Slanderous rumours of a romantic connection and even a secret marriage appeared in print, and the Queen was referred to as "Mrs Brown".[122] The story of their relationship was the subject of the 1997 movie Mrs. Brown. A painting by Sir Edwin Landseer depicting the Queen with Brown was exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Victoria published a book, Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands, which featured Brown prominently and in which the Queen praised him highly.[123][57]

March 18, 1871: Senator John Sherman of Ohio, on the floor of the Senate Chamber, March 18, 1871, made use of the following langurage:” If any senator now, in looking over the record of crime of all ages, can tell me of an association, a conspiracy, or a band of men who combined in their acts and in their purposes more that is diabolical than this Ku Klux Klan I should like to know where it is. They are secret, oath-bound; they murder, rob, plunder, whip, and scourge; and they commit these crimes, not upon the high and lofty, but upon the lowly, upon the poor, upon feeble men and women who are utterly defenseless.”[62]
March 1880: At the age of 20, Baum took on a new vocation: the breeding of fancy poultry, a national craze at the time. He specialized in raising a particular breed of fowl, the Hamburg. In March 1880 he established a monthly trade journal, The Poultry Record, and in 1886, when Baum was 30 years old, his first book was published: The Book of the Hamburgs: A Brief Treatise upon the Mating, Rearing, and Management of the Different Varieties of Hamburgs.[8]
Despite financial difficulties, Frank was always the spotlight of fun around the household. Due to the fact that one of his trades was selling fireworks, he always made the Fourth of July memorable. His skyrockets, Roman candles, and fireworks filled the sky, while many people around the neighborhood would gather in front of the house to watch the displays. Christmas was even more festive. Frank played Santa for the family. While his father placed the Christmas tree in the front parlor behind closed drapes, Frank would decorate the tree and talk to them from behind the drapes, although they never could manage to see him. He kept up this tradition all his life.[9][63]

I Get Email!
Greetings Jeffery,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to send along the additional picture and information regarding Captain Moore (husband of the 5th great grandaunt) and your father. Please extend to your father and mother my regards and do not hesitate to forward any other information you may have; specifically you mentioned additional cemetery information in the “woods” letter.
Since our last correspondence, I wanted to let you know I have sent in my SAR application along with the required fees and signatures. My sponsor indicated that my bona fides would be reviewed for authenticity at the State and National levels prior to admittance; however he did say my documentation was in good order. I hope you have success with your application as well. Please let me know if you need any information that I might have and I’ll continue to send what I find.
I did want to share with you the attached document and e-mail message regarding Capt. Moore’s service at Valley Forge, 1778. I don’t believe I previously sent theses to you? I apologize for the duplication if I did. Additionally, I have been in contact with a man from the Cynthiana-Harrison County Historical Museum. He is locating the name of the current owner of the property so I may gain prior permission to access the land. I would like to take a trip in early April. My SAR sponsor is in agreement that the headstone/gravesite needs restoration. I also would like to restore the three other soldiers’ graves while I am at it. He said each State SAR has a “grave” officer who helps facilitate the restoration process of any Revolutionary War soldier. I am planning to contact them soon. Additionally, he indicated if the headstone is missing or beyond repair the National Veterans Administration will send a new one. Once the gravesite has been restored, it is rededicated with a color guard. Surprisingly to me when my SAR sponsor was conducting his background research he found a document indicating that Marry Harrison Moore is buried on the same site with her husband Capt. Moore. I will look for that evidence when I visit the site. Keep in touch.
Sincerely, John Moreland (6th cousin 1x removed)
Oaths of Allegiance
Valley Forge, 1778 - Page7
On February 3, 1778, Congress, having taken into consideration the report of the special committee appointed to devise effectual means to prevent persons disaffected to the interest of the United States from being employed in any of the important offices thereof, resolved, That every officer who held or should thereafter hold a commission or office from Congress, should subscribe the oath or affirmation of allegiance. These oaths or affirmations the commander-in-chief or any major or brigadier-general was authorized and directed to administer to all officers of the army or of any of the departments thereof. Those mentioned in the following list (with a few exceptions) took the oath at Valley Forge in the spring of '78 before that encampment was broke, and who undoubtedly were members of the army actually in camp at Valley Forge the ever memorable winter of '77-'78.

Busse Forest Preserve, Elk Grove Village is a municipality located in northeastern Illinois adjacent to O'Hare International Airport and the City of Chicago. Elk Grove Village encompasses 10.9 square miles (28 km2) in land area with 10.5 square miles (27 km2) located in Cook County and 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2) located in DuPage County, Illinois. The population was 32,745 at the 2010 census. As the name suggests, Elk Grove Village is home to a small herd of elk kept in a grove at the eastern edge of the Busse Woods forest preserve. However, elk are not native to the area, and the name "Elk Grove" actually comes from a mispronunciation of the Native American name for the place. Furthermore, the original elk herd was brought from Montana by an early resident, Busse, in the 1920s.[73]
Busse Forest Nature Preserve is a 437 acre woodland within the 3,700 acre Ned Brown Preserve. This area is also classified as a Registered National Landmark by the U.S. Department of Interior. This area is an unusually rich forest of oak, sugar maple and basswood on the upland sites and swamp white oak and ash on the flat and poorly drained areas. Marshes occupy the larger depressions. There is an abundance of wildflowers and shrubs - exceptionally rich and colorful are the spring wildflowers which include the large flowered trillium.
Bird Watching is especially good during the spring and fall migrations for waterfowl and shorebirds. The Shallow Water Areas have the potential to support large numbers of a wide variety of wildlife. These areas will produce dense aquatic vegetation for food and homes for ducks, goose, shorebirds, muskrat, mink and other animals. In addition these areas will provide excellent spawning areas for fishes - especially northern pike. The "@' of these wood beds afford excellent fishing areas.
There is a sizable herd of white tailed deer that thrive in this area due to ample food and good cover.
The Elk Herd is a popular exhibit for observation of these once native animals. The herd is located in a fourteen acre enclosure at Arlington Heights and Higgins Roads.[74]

the Scottish Queen had not been aware of all that had passed be-
tween them and Morton.

[10] * Sir James Balfour of Pittendreich, promoted, after holding
many snug appointments, to the office of Lord President of the
Court of Session, in 1567. He was a horrible scoundrel, — the
worthy scion of a house in which (according to one equally infa-
mous, John Knox) *' was neither fear of God nor love of virtue,
farther than the present commodity persuaded them." He is gene-
rally believed to have been the deviser of Darnley's murder, and to
have framed the bond for mutual support entered into by the con-
spirators on that occasion. See in Bannatyne's Journal (Banna-
tyne Club edition, p. 299) a curious complaint against him and his
brother, laid before the Lords of Articles in 1573, wherein it is
stated that " whenever he saw tyrae, he could wagge as the buss
wagged, and take the way that micht make him advancment, how-
beit that same wer to the distructione of all honest and godly men,
and of his native cuntrey also."
