To JOHN HARVIE from George Washington (grand nephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed)
Mount Vernon, March 19, 1785.
Sir: If I recollect right, I mentioned when I had the pleasure of seeing you at Mr. Jones’s[5] the first of last October, that I was reduced to the necessity of bringing ejectments against sundry persons who had taken possession of a tract of Land which I hold, not far from Fort Pitt in the State of Pennsylvania, by Patent under this Governmt. for 2813 acres.
I have lately received a letter from my Lawyer, Mr. Thos. Smith, of Carlisle requesting information on several points; the following are his own words,
I am entirely unacquainted with the manner in which titles to Lands are acquired by improvement or occupancy, by the Laws and customs of Virginia. I suppose it must be under certain conditions and restrictions. I should be glad to have the Laws, if any, pointed out. Does the occupier orfeit his right of pre-emption, if he does not apply for an office right in a given time? If so, when? By what Laws? Or is it by the regulations established in the Land Office? A certified copy of such regulations if any, may be necessary.
At the interview I had with that Gentleman in September, he told me it would be necessary to obtain a certified copy of the Surveyors return to the Land office, and of the date of the Warrt. upon which it was made. The latter I presume is in the hands of the Surveyor, but the date no doubt, is recited in the return. Having (in the life time of Col. Crawford,(6th great grandfather) and by letter from him) received information that at the convention next before the 20th. of Septr. 1776, (the date of his letter) an ordinance passed for the purpose of saving equitable claims to the Western Lands, Mr. Smith requested some precise information respecting this Ordinance, that is, how far it will apply in my case.
After the many obliging acts of kindness I have received from you, and the generous terms upon which they have been rendered, I am really ashamed to give you more trouble; but as the dispute in which I am engaged is of importance, and a very ungenerous advantage has been taken of a situation in which I could not attend to my private concerns, or seek justice in due season, and as I believe no person can solve the queries of Mr. Smith, and give such accurate information on such points as can be made to subserve my cause as you, I am, however reluctantly, compelled to this application.
Mr. Smith’s own words, which I have quoted, and his verbal application to me, wch. I have just now recited, will sufficiently apprize you of what has occurred to him; but I will go further, and take the liberty my good Sir, of giving you a state of the whole matter; from whence you will discover the points on which my opponents mean to hinge the success of their cause.
Col. Crawford, a liver on Yohioghaney, an old and intimate acquaintance of mine, undertook to procure for me a tract of land in that Country; and accordingly made choice of the one, now in dispute, on the waters of Racoon and Millers runs, branches of Shurtees Creek, surveyed the same, amounting to 2813 acres, and purchased in my behalf the claim of some person to a part of the land, who pretended to have a right thereto. After this he built, or intended to build according to his own accot., and to the best of my recollection, (for the papers being in the hands of my Lawyer, I have memory only, and that a bad one, to resort to) three or four cabbins on different parts of the tract, and placed one or more persons thereon to hold possession of it for my benefit. All this preceeded the first view the present occupiers (my opponents) ever had of the Land, as they themselves have acknowledged to me’, and which I believe can be proved. So far as it respects one cabbin there can be no doubt, because it remains to this day; and is acknowledged by them to have been on the land when they first came to it. They built another cabbin so close to the door of it, as to preclude the entrance of it: Crawford in his accot. of it to me, says, with a view to prevent occupation:
they, on the other hand, say there was no inhabitant in the house at the time. Both may be right, for the fact is, as I have been informed, the owner being from home, this transaction took place in his absence.
It may be well to observe here that Col. Crawford was only acting the part of a friend to me; for at that time, tho’ he was a Surveyor by regular appointment from the College of Wm, and Mary, it was for the local purpose of surveying the 200,000 acres granted by Dinwiddie’s Proclamation of 1754 to the Troops of the State, who were entitled to it as a bounty: but as I proposed to cover this survey with a military warrant as soon as circumstances would permit, these steps were preliminary to obtain the Land. Accordingly, a Warrant which I obtained in consequence of a purchase from one Captain Posey (who under the British Kings proclamation of 1763 was entitled to 3000 acres) whose Bond I now have bearing date the 14th. of Octr. (October 14) 1770, assigning to me all his right to land under it, was located thereon; and Col. Crawford, after receiving a commission to act as Deputy to Mr. Thos. Lewis, made a return of this survey to his principal, who returned it to the Secretary’s office, from whence a Patent issued signed by Lord Dunmore in June or July 1774, for 2813 acres, reciting under what right I became entitled to the Land. Hence, and from the repeated warnings, which it is said can be proved were given at the time my opponents were about to take possession of the Land, and afterwards, comes my title.
The title of my opponents I know will be: 1st. That Craw-fords survey was illegal, at least, was unauthorized. 2d. That being a great land-jobber, he held, or endeavored to monopolise under one pretence or other much land: and tho’ (for they do not deny the fact to me in private discussion, altho’ considering the lapse of time, deaths, and dispersion of people, I may find some difficulty to prove it) they were told this was my land; yet conceiving my name was only made use of as a cover, and in this they say they were confirmed, having (after some of the warnings given them) searched the Land office of this State without discovering any such Grant to me. 3d. That their possession of the Land, preceded my Patent or date of the Surveyors return to the Secretary’s office; or even the date of Crawfords deputation under Lewis, before which, every transaction they will add, was invalid.
But to recapitulate, the Dispute, if my memory for want of papers does not deceive me, may be summed up in these words.
1st. In the year 1771, Crawford at my request looked of this Land for me, and made an actual survey thereof on m account.
2d. Some person (not of the opponents) setting up a clam to part included by the survey, he purchased them out, bu~1 one cabbin, if not more, and placed a man therein to kee1 possession of the Land.
3d. It was called my band, and generally believed to be so
every body, and under that persuasion was left by some, whc uninformed of my right, had begun to build, before the present occupants took possession to the exclusion as I have related before of the person placed thereon by Crawford.
4th. That sometime in October 1773 according to their own accot., these occupants took possession.
5th. That upon their doing so, and at several times thereafter, they were notified of my claim and intention to assert my right.
6th. That no survey was ever made of this Land, but the first one by Crawford.
7th. That it is declared in the Surveyors return, to be consequent of a warrant granted by Lord Dunmore to Jno. Posey assigned to me. But whether this warrt. is dated before or after possession was taken by my opponents, I know not, but the Survey will shew this.
8th. That after he received his deputation (which I believe was subsequent to their occupancy) he made a return of the survey to Mr. Lewis, who returned it to the Secretary’s Office in the early part, I believe, of the year 1774, and a Patent issued without any caveat or Opposition from these people.
9th. I believe, because I never heard otherwise, that no office rights either in this State or that of Pennsylvania, were ever obtained by my opponents, resting their title upon possession.
Under this statement of the matter, in which I have conceded everything I know, or which I think can be urged against my claim, I would thank you, as the matter will be determined in another State, for such advice and information of Acts of Assembly, Acts of Convention, or rules of office which make to the point, as my long absence renders me quite an ignoramus in these matters, and as unfit for, as I am disinclined to controversies of this kind.
If pre-occupancy will take place of legal right, under the circumstances here mentioned; it remains still a question how far the possession and improvements which were made in my behalf, previous to those of my opponents, will avail me; that is, under what title I should then claim the Land, and under that title how much of it I should hold, supposing one Cabbin only to have been built and occupied, by any rule of Office, or Act of Government.
When I look back at the length of this letter, and consider how much trouble I am giving you, I must thro myself upon your goodness for an apology, whilst I assure you of the esteem and regard with which I am, etc.[6]

March 19, 1845: Chaos on the Border
He was born James Simeon Whitsett on March 19, 1845 to John R. and
Eliza (Oldham) Whitsett. John was the son of James and grandson of Samuel
Whitsett. Samuel and James came to Montgomery County, Kentucky from
Pennsylvania about 1790. In John and Eliza's family, James Simeon was tenth of
twelve children, with four sisters and one brother who survived childhood. The
family lived on land settled by John and Eliza when they came to Missouri from
Kentucky in about 1839. They were among some of the earliest settlers of
Jackson County. The Whitsett homestead was about a mile north of Hickman's
Mill in Jackson County. Today Hickman's Mill is a suburb of Kansas City. A few
miles away in Sni-bar Township lived John’s cousin Isaac and his wife Cynthia
(Noland) Whitsett. Isaac and Cynthia were also the parents of six children,
three boys and three girls. Regardless of the fate of his own family, Sim was
probably affected by the tragedies that visited his relative's family before and
during the war. Those events may help to explain his membership in the
guerilla band. This is his story. It is not a history of Quantrill or his Raiders, or
the war on the border. Extremely talented authors and highly qualified
historians have dealt with those subjects in numerous books. We deal with
them here as the frame around the portrait of James Simeon "Sim" Whitsett.
Most of this story spans only three years of his life, from the age of seventeen
until the age of twenty. Those three years would have, without question, had a
major influence on who Sim Whitsett was for the rest of his life. He died on
May 22, 1928 at the age of 83.
High School history taught me that the Civil War began with the shelling
of Fort Sumter in April 1861. In fact, the bloodletting started much earlier on
the Kansas-Missouri border. The trigger was the Kansas-Nebraska Act passed by
Congress in 1854. The question was whether these two territories would be
admitted to the Union as free or slave states, affecting the political balance
between those two opposing issues. Nebraska was certain to be a free state
because it bordered no slave state. Kansas was up for grabs since it shared its
eastern border with Missouri, a slave state. Both sides of the slavery issue
swarmed into Kansas in hopes of tipping the balance to their favor.
Neither side was above using questionable or even illegal means to
affect the outcome. "Free-soilers" stuffed ballot boxes while southerners from
Missouri voted in elections in Kansas. Legal voters on both sides of the issue
were intimidated or prevented from casting ballots. Dubious politics soon
turned into violence and bloodshed.
There were two main groups at the center of the violence. We must
generalize a bit to characterize these two groups. "Jayhawkers" from Kansas
professed abolitionism and radical free-soil (anti-slavery) politics. The other
group was the "Bushwhackers" from Missouri (so-called because of the brushy
trails these men rode, not because of ambushes with which the term has
become synonymous). The later were usually of southern ancestry and proslavery.
Both groups attracted men who were little more than criminals, more
interested in plunder than politics. Of the two, Jayhawkers were at first the
6
most violent. Into the Jayhawker mix came extremists like John Brown, U.S.
Senator James Lane, Rev. James Montgomery and Charles Jennison.
Rev. James Montgomery Jayhawker Charles Jennison U. S. Senator Jim Lane of Kansas
Old John Brown (a distant relative of mine), who met his final fate at
Harper’s Ferry, believed that the slavery question could be resolved only by a
national blood bath and he was in a hurry to start the blood flowing. Soon after
arriving in Kansas, he was involved in raids and murders of slave owners in
particular and southerners in general.
The Reverend James Montgomery was a radical abolitionist who led raids
into western Missouri, killing livestock, shooting down southern farmers
working in their fields and liberating slaves. Sometimes liberation meant
kidnapping blacks against their will and carrying them back to Kansas.
Montgomery’s men were not averse to plundering the homes and farms of their
victims.
The very worst of the Jayhawkers were U.S. Senator Jim Lane and
Charles Jennison. Jim Lane, although a free-soiler, was a racist and had no
personal qualms about slavery. His motivation was to keep Kansas an all white
state. Charles Jennison was simply a thug. His interest was obtaining fame for
himself and the plunder he could extract from his victims in Missouri. If
Quantrill was evil, Jennison was more than his equal.
The eastern abolitionist Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was largely
responsible for arming Kansas abolitionist settlers and Jayhawkers like Lane,
Jennison and Montgomery with 1853 Sharps breech loading rifles. His group
sent to Kansas territory these rifles which were much superior to the muzzle
loading muskets in common use in the 1850’s. Beecher’s followers were
shipping crates of Sharps rifles to the Kansas territory marked as Bibles. The
rifles became known as Beecher’s Bibles.
In Kansas, there were people genuinely interested in the abolition of
slavery by peaceful means. Most of these were Quaker groups from the east
who moved to Kansas specifically to help slaves find freedom. They raided the
farms of slave owners to free slaves and help them make their way to the
Underground Railroad. Unfortunately, their decency, sincerity and worthy goals
were eclipsed by the more radical and violent elements in their midst. Most
southerners were unlikely to make a distinction between peaceful Quakers stealing their "slave property" and murderous Jayhawkers stealing everything of
value.
Jayhawkers regularly raided western Missouri, stealing livestock and
slaves, plundering homes and farms and killing anyone foolish enough to resist.
In retaliation, Missourians formed bands of Bushwhackers and launched attacks
of their own on citizens of Kansas suspected of sympathizing with the
Jayhawkers. Anyone known to be a free-soiler was fair game. The situation
soon became tit-for-tat with atrocities on both sides. However, in the late
1850’s Missouri was the main killing field, made bloody by large bands of
marauding Jayhawkers. Into this mayhem wandered William Clarke Quantrill
from Canal Dover, Ohio and late of Lawrence, Kansas.
William Clarke Quantrill
Quantrill was a man of little character who played both roles,
Bushwhacker and Jayhawker - which ever at the time seemed to offer the best
chance of financial gain. He was born in Ohio but during the war claimed he
was a southerner from Maryland. He moved to Lawrence, Kansas and began
teaching school and seeking his fortune. He rode with Jayhawkers, stealing
slaves and plundering. Then he and his Bushwhacker friends would return the
slaves to their owners to collect the reward. Historians have discovered that
Quantrill was a gambler with large debts, a common thief, burglar, cattle
rustler and horse thief. He left Kansas for Missouri one step ahead of the law.
At worst, he was a psychopathic criminal and at best an opportunist always
looking for the easy way to make his fortune and a name for himself. If ever
there was a man seeking both fame and fortune, it was Quantrill.[8]
March 19, 1862: The Federal authorities in Kansas City issued an order
that all guerrillas were to be treated as common criminals rather than soldiers
or prisoners of war, and they were to be shot on sight. This "No Quarter" policy
by the Federal authorities was a turning point with Quantrill and his men. Up
until this time they regularly paroled their prisoners, a common practice by
both sides early in the war. After the authorities issued the "No Quarter" order,
Quantrill and his men exercised the same policy of no quarter towards their
captives, usually killing them on the spot. However, there were numerous
exceptions. In hopes of causing the Union Army to soften this policy towards
the guerrillas, the Confederate government passed the Partisan Ranger Act.
The act legitimized guerrilla bands as rangers acting under the authority of the
Confederate Army. The Union Army command ignored the Partisan Ranger Act,
but from this time on the men who rode with Quantrill and bands like his
considered themselves soldiers in the Confederate Army and the CSA bore the
responsibility for their actions.[9]

March 1963 During the month, a New Orleans FBI informant named Eugene
De Lapparra overhears three individuals in a Marcello-controlled restaurant talking of the
impending contract to kill JFK. As the three men are looking at an advertisement for a foreign
made rifle that sells for $12.98, one of them, a friend of Marcello’s, observes: “This would be a nice
rifle to buy to get the President.” He then goes on to tell his friends that there is a price on the
President’s head, adding that “somebody will get Kennedy when he comes South.”
This month, Silvia Odio moves to Dallas and soon makes fast friends with her benefactor
Lucille Connell, who becomes her closest confidante. Silvia goes back to Puerto Rico on June 29
and retrieves her four children. She then returns to Dallas where she establishes herself in the
highest circles of the community. Oswald Talked[21]
March 1963: FBI (Philadelphia) AIRTEL to J. Edgar Hoover regarding Marcello
informant’s report on the New Orleans incident (three men, including the “professor,” discussing
a rifle ad, and President’s coming south). A September 1963 FBI teletype reports that a discussion
of such a plot has been overheard in March 1963. Supposedly this information is also sent by
AIRTEL to the Dallas and Miami CACs. And yet, no such threat will be found in the Secret
Service’s PRS file for Dallas prior to the President’s ill-fated trip. AOT[22]
Between December 1962 and March 1963: According to a former Walker employee, William McEwan Duff, Jack
Ruby visits Walker’s home on a monthly basis between December 1962 and March 1963,
shortly before Walker is fired upon. [23]
March 1964:
Back in November 20, 1963 in Honolulu, (Camp Smith) a conference reportedly on Viet Nam policy begins at 8:00
AM, involving Rusk, McNamara, Lodge, Taylor, Felt and Harkins. There is no record of what
happens at this meeting. From 8:30 to 10:15, all conference members meet in the command center
to listen to presentations on Agenda Items A -- “Country Team Review of Situation” and B --
“Prospects and War Under the New Government.” For these briefings, we have a record created
at CINPAC. After a short break, the principals, joined this time by McGeorge Bundy, McCone
and David Bell, retire to the executive conference room for another restricted session. There is
no record of what happens at this meeting either, which takes place form 10:35 to 12:00. While
this is going on, the rest of the conferees are broken down into four groups to carry out separate
discussions “of programs to produce recommendations to Principals.” In effect, the topics of
discussion at this conference will be the same topics covered in LBJ’s NSAM #273, dated
November 26 (four days after JFK’s death in Texas) and will begin to totally reverse Kennedy’s own
policy, as stated in the Taylor-McNamara report and in NSAM #263, Dated October 2, 1963. Of
this meeting, Fletcher Prouty writes: “ How did it happen that the subject of discussion in Hawaii,
before JFK was killed, was a strange agenda that would not come up in the White House until after he had
been murdered? Who could have known, beforehand, that this new -- non-Kennedy -- agenda would be
needed in the White House because Kennedy would no longer be President?” “President Kennedy would
not have sent his cabinet to Hawaii to discuss that agenda. He had issued his own agenda for Vietnam on
October 11, 1963, and he had no reason to change it...... If JFK had no reason to send them to Hawaii, who
did, and why?” Whereas JFK had ordered, in NSAM #263 of October 11, 1963, the return of the
bulk of American personnel by the end of 1965, the November 20 agenda and an November 26
briefing will move in direct opposition to Kennedy’s intentions and pave the way for the
enormous #288 of March 1964 which will complete the full turnabout. [24]
March 19, 1975: A joint resolution to restore posthumously full rights of citizenship to General R. E. Lee (husband of the grandniece of the husband of the wife of the grandnephew of the wife of the 1st cousin 10x removed) was introduced into the Senate by Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. (I-VA). The resolution was to restore the U.S. citizenship to Robert E. Lee effective June 13, 1865. This resolution was the result of a five-year campaign to posthumously restore Robert E. Lee's U.S. citizenship. March 19, 1975 - Reported to Senate from the Committee on the Judiciary, S. Rept. 94-44. [25]
March 1977: During their March 1977 meeting, James Earl Carter (2nd cousin 7x removed of the wife of the 4th cousin 9x removed) tried to reassure the Israeli prime minister that any Middle East peace talks would focus on securing defensible borders for Israel and would require that the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) recognize the existence of Israel. Rabin, fearful of Arab domination of the talks, listened to Carter's proposal to facilitate further negotiations between Israel and Egypt, but ultimately rejected it. Carter later recalled that although he, his wife, Rosalynn, and the Rabins shared a pleasant dinner that evening, he was "not encouraged."
Nevertheless, through the end of 1977 and into 1978, Carter extended invitations to other Middle Eastern leaders, including Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin, to discuss the volatile Arab-Israeli conflict. Carter's sincere friendship with Sadat, and Begin's receptivity to Carter's suggestions, moved the talks forward and the delicate Middle East peace process inched ahead. In 1978, at Carter's presidential retreat, the president witnessed Begin and Sadat's signing of the Camp David Peace Accords. The Accords consisted of two agreements that set the framework for further negotiations to resolve armed conflicts between Israel and Egypt, and to establish an autonomous area for Palestinians within Israel's contested borders. Two years later to the day, Carter acknowledged that "real peace does not come with a single treaty" and embarked on a follow-up trip to Egypt.[26]

March 19, 1982: Thomas Gilbert Hogeland (8th cousin 3x removed) (b. January 15, 1918 in AL / d. March 19, 1982 in AL).[27]
