May 16, 1527: Florentines drove out the Medici for a second time and re-established a republic The recreation of the Republic led to the expulsion of the Jews. This event took place in the Jewish year 5300 (a year with Jewish mystical connotations), fueling messianic hopes helping to layer the ground for the rise of Solomon Molcho.[1]
May 16, 1532: Sir Thomas More resigned as Lord Chancellor, realizing that the battle to save the marriage was lost. More's resignation from the Council represented a triumph for Cromwell and the pro-Reformation faction at court.[1][2]
May 16, 1539: Although he was not a member of the committee, on May 16, Norfolk presented six conservative articles of religion to Parliament for consideration.[3] The publication of the Great Bible, the first authoritative version in English, was one of Cromwell's most significant achievements.[1]The King, however, continued to resist further Reformation measures. A parliamentary committee was established to examine doctrine, and on May 16, 1539 the Duke of Norfolk presented six questions for the house to consider, which were duly passed as the Act of Six Articles shortly before the session ended on June 28. The Six Articles reaffirmed a traditional view of the Mass, the sacraments and the priesthood.[1][4]
May 16, 1568: Mary Queen of Scots voyage to England, 25 years old. [5] She was defeated and fled south; after spending the night at Dundrennan Abbey, she crossed the Solway Firth into England by fishing boat on May 16.[142] She landed at Workington in Cumberland in the north of England and stayed overnight at Workington Hall.[143][6]Mary, in spite of the remonstrances of all those who accompanied her, resolves to go into England before receiving Lowther's reply. She crosses the Solway frith in a fishing-boat, and lands, with a very small suite^ at Workington, on the coast of Cumberland. [7]
May 16, 1573: Today Polish nobles elected Henry, as the first elected monarch of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, the Lithuanian nobles boycotted this election, and it was the Lithuanian ducal council who confirmed his election. Poland elected Henry, rather than Habsburg candidates, partly in order to be more agreeable to the Ottoman Empire (a traditional ally of France through the Franco-Ottoman alliance), with which a Polish-Ottoman alliance was also in effect.. He owed his election to Solomon Ashkenazi, a “Rabbi” who was an advisor to the Sultan. He was in effect the Sultan’s foreign minister. In an unusually blunt statement, Ashkenazi wrote Henry “I have rendered you majesty most important service in securing your election; I have effected all that was done here.” The last statement refers to his behind the scenes work at the Sultans Palace. See Volume 4 p 605 0f Graetz.[8]
May 1601: Two ships, the Croissant and the Corbin, were sent around the Cape of Good Hope in May 1601. One was wrecked in the Maldives, leading to the adventure of François Pyrard de Laval, who managed to return to France in 1611.[30][31] The second ship, onboard which was François Martin de Vitré, reached Ceylon and traded with Aceh in Sumatra, but was captured by the Dutch on the return leg at Cape Finisterre.[30][31] François Martin de Vitré was the first Frenchman to write an account of travels to the Far East in 1604, at the request of Henry IV, and from that time numerous accounts on Asia would be published.[32]
From 1604 to 1609, following the return of François Martin de Vitré, Henry developed a strong enthusiasm for travel to Asia and attempted to set up a French East India Company on the model of England and the Netherlands.[31][32][33][9]
In May 1607, about 100 English colonists settled along the James River in Virginia to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The settlers fared badly because of famine, disease, and Indian attacks, but were aided by 27-year-old English adventurer John Smith, who directed survival efforts and mapped the area. [10]
May 1609: In a May 1609 voyage to Virginia, Sir Thomas Smith, Virginia Company treasurer, arranged for about 500 colonists, including women and children to come along. A fleet of nine ships set sail. One sank in a storm soon after leaving the harbor and another, the Sea Venture, with the flotilla admiral on board, wrecked on the Bermuda Islands.[11]
May 1610: One year later, in May 1610, after building boats to take all the passengers and crew of the Sea Venture off Bermuda, they finally made their way to Jamestown with the new Governor, Thomas Gates, on board.[17][12] Then in May 1610, Gates with 150 men finally arrived after spending almost a year trying to escape from Bermuda, by building small boats from their wrecked ship. Gates soon found that there was not enough food to support all in the colony and decided to abandon Jamestown. As their boats were leaving the Jamestown area, they met a ship carrying the new governor, Lord De la Warr, who ordered them back to Jamestown.[15][13]
May 1611
They then gave sureties to a large amount for their reappearance before the Council in May, 1611 and promised to live together in peace, love and amitie, and to assist the commissioners to quell disturbances.[14]
May 16, 1611: Birthdate of Pope Innocent XI. During his papacy, “Innocent showed a degree of sensitivity in his dealings with the Jews within the Italian States. He compelled the city of Venice to release the Jewish prisoners taken by Francesco Morisini in 1685. He also discouraged compulsory baptisms which accordingly became less frequent under his pontificate; but he could not abolish the old practice altogether. More controversially in 1682 he issued an edict by which all the money-lending activities carried out by the Roman Jews were to cease. However ultimately convinced that such a measure would cause much misery in destroying livelihoods, the enforcement of the edict was twice delayed.”[15]
Pocahontas
1612
Pocahontas’s real name was Matoaka (Matowaka)[17]. The sole Algonkian root from which the name is derived is Metaw, “to play,” or “to amuse oneself.”
She was decoyed aboard an English ship in the Potomac and taken to Jamestown in 1612 where the English and Powqhatan met to agree on her ransom While among the whites she fell in love with John Rolfe, “an honest gentleman and of good behaviour.” [18]
May 1637: From 1635-1637 there is a dance of intimidation that takes place in New England. The English settelers were convinced of their superiority and the rightness of their cause. They convinced themselves that the Pequots were hostile to them.In May of 1637 the Puritan leaders decided they must take action.The English join with the Mohicans and Naragansits to form an attack on the Pequots. After the Mystic Massacre 1500 Pequots were killed or sold into slavery. Many Pequots are sold to other English Colonies like Burmuda or the Carribean Islands. That way they can never come back cause problems for the British again.The treaty of Hartford officially ended the Pequot War.[19]
May 1640: The earls of Northumberland and Strafford together attempted to reach a compromise whereby the king would agree to forfeit ship money in exchange for £650,000 (although the coming war was estimated at around £1 million).[105] Nevertheless, this alone was insufficient to produce consensus in the Commons.[106] The Parliamentarians' calls for further reforms were ignored by Charles, who still maintained the support of the House of Lords. Despite the protests of Northumberland, the "Short Parliament" (as it came to be known) was dissolved in May 1640, less than a month after it assembled.[107][20]
May 1641: The Commons passed the Bill on April 20, by a large margin (204 in favour, 59 opposed, and 230 abstained), the Lords acquiesced (by 26 votes to 19, with 79 absent) in May 1641,[128] and Charles, fearing for the safety of his family in the face of unrest, signed on May 9, 1641.[129] Strafford was beheaded three days later.[130][21]
In May 1641, Charles assented to an unprecedented act, which forbade the dissolution of the English Parliament without Parliament's consent.[131] Ship money, fines in destraint of knighthood and excise without parliamentary consent were declared unlawful, and the Courts of Star Chamber and High Commission were abolished.[132] All remaining forms of taxation were legalised and regulated by the Tonnage and Poundage Act.[133][22]
May 16, 1648: During the great Cossack uprising which brought death and destruction to hundreds of thousands of Jews, Bohdan Khmelnytsky's forces overwhelmed and defeated Commonwealth forces under the command of Stefan Potocki at the Battle of Zhovti Vody.[23]
May 16, 1730: John Vance was born on 12-Sep-1753 in Bucks, Pa. The Son of Samuel Vance Jr. born December 10, 1708, and Agnes "Penquite" Vance May 16, 1730.[24]

May 16, 1741: Early History
John Canon (Generally referred to Colonel John Canon was born on May 16, 1741 and died November 6, 1798 was an American Revolutionary War soldier, miller, judge, and businessman, who founded three towns, including Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, which bears his name. John Canon was one of the first settlers in Valley a tributary of the Ohio. He worked as a rent collector for George Washington, who owned a large amount of land in the area. At the time, the area was part of Virginia. In 1773, Canon acquired 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land along the Chartiers Creek on the Catfish Path, where he built a gristmill and started a farm In January 1774, he was appointed viewer of a road from Thomas Gist's in Mount Braddock to Paul Froman's mill on Chartiers Creek. He was appointed by Lord Dunmore to serve as judge in Augusta County. After the border dispute between Pennsylvania and Virginia, the area was placed in Yohogania County. Military serviceIn 1775, he was promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Washington County militia during the American Revolutionary War. He was made sub-lieutenant of the county and participated in a number of Indian expeditions, including the Crawford expeditions. It is not clear whether he participated in some of the more brutal raids, as is claimed by some historical accounts.Some evidence exists that indicate that he was in Philadelphia, serving in the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly.Civic accomplishmentsIn 1780, he received land in Virginia along the Chartiers Valley through present-day Canonsburg on the north side of Chartiers Creek. In that land, he founded three towns, Canon Hill (now Canonsburg, founded April 15, 1788, Abbington, and Sugar-Tree Grove.
He was a member of the Board of Trustees of Washington Academy, an academy that would eventually merge with the institution he helped found, from 1789 until his death in 1798. In 1791, he helped found Canonsburg Academy, which would later become Jefferson College and Washington & Jefferson College, by donating a plot of land in Canonsburg and constructing the Stone Academy Building. Stone College Building, constructed by John Canon as Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1791 John Canon donated this lot to Canonsburg Academy, which in 1802 was chartered as Jefferson College.[26]
May 16, 1754
On the 16th the column met two tradersw, who seaid they were fleeing for fear of the French, parties of whom had been seen near Gist’s. These traders told Washington that they believed it to be impossible to clear a road over which wagons or artillery pieces could be taken to the moth of Redstone Creek. [27]
May 16, 1769; George Washington Journal: Rid over my dower land in York county to show them there the…to the gentlemen appointed by the General Court to value and report thereon.[28]
On May 16, 1770, at the age of fifteen, Louis-Auguste married the fourteen-year-old Habsburg Archduchess Maria Antonia (better known by the French form of her name, Marie Antoinette), his second cousin once removed and the youngest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and his wife, the formidable Empress Maria Theresa.[5]
This marriage was met with some hostility by the French public. France's alliance with Austria had pulled France into the disastrous Seven Years' War, in which France was defeated by the British, both in Europe and in North America. By the time that Louis-Auguste and Marie-Antoinette were married, the people of France generally regarded the Austrian alliance with dislike, and Marie-Antoinette was seen as an unwelcome foreigner.[6] For the young couple, the marriage was initially amiable but distant – Louis-Auguste's shyness meant that he failed to consummate the union, much to his wife's distress, while his fear of being manipulated by her for Imperial purposes caused him to behave coldly towards her in public.[7] Over time, the couple became closer, though while their marriage was reportedly consummated in July 1773, it was not in fact really so until 1777.[8]
Nevertheless, the royal couple failed to produce any children for several years after their wedding, placing a strain upon their marriage,[9] whilst the situation was worsened by the publication of obscene pamphlets (libelles) which mocked the infertility of the pair. One questioned, "Can the King do it? Can't the King do it?"[10]
The reasons behind the couple's initial failure to have children were debated at that time, and they have continued to be so since. One suggestion is that Louis-Auguste suffered from a physiological dysfunction,[11] most often thought to be phimosis, a suggestion first made in late 1772 by the royal doctors.[12] Historians adhering to this view suggest that he was circumcised[13] (a common treatment for phimosis) to relieve the condition seven years after their marriage. Louis's doctors were not in favour of the surgery – the operation was delicate and traumatic, and capable of doing "as much harm as good" to an adult male. The argument for phimosis and a resulting operation is mostly seen to originate from Stefan Zweig.[14]
However, it is agreed amongst most modern historians that Louis had no surgery[15][16][17] – for instance, as late as 1777, the Prussian envoy, Baron Goltz, reported that the King of France had definitely declined the operation.[18] The fact was that Louis was frequently declared to be perfectly fit for sexual intercourse, confirmed by Joseph II, and during the time he was purported to have had the operation, he went out hunting almost every day, according to his journal. This would not have been possible if he had undergone a circumcision; at the very least, he would have been unable to go out hunting for a few weeks after. Their consummation problems have now been attributed to other factors, around which controversy and argument still continue today.
In the long run, and in spite of all their earlier difficulty, the Royal couple became the parents of four children.[29]
May 16, 1775: It was on May 16,, 1775, that the Scotch-Irish,33 and other residents
of the western part of Pennsylvania, assembled at Pittsburg, to
give utterance to their views concerning the encroachments of
Great Britain. Crawford's presence was soon felt, and his bold
utterances in behalf of the American colonies found an echo in
every heart. A committee of defence was agreed upon of which
Crawford was a conspicuous member.
After the battle of Lexington, Crawford tendered his services
to the Council of Safety at Philadelphia, but owing to the peace
policy of Governor Penn, and his associates, and possibly the
boundary dispute, they were not accepted. Virginia, his native
State, glad to accept the services of this veteran warrior, author-
ized him to raise a regiment. His influence and name on the
frontier were such that he recruited a full regiment in a short
time.[30]

May 16, 1775: William Crawford was placed on a committee of defense of inhabitance against the aggressions of Great Britain.
William Crawford offered his services to Virginia, raised a regiment, but Congress determined to receive only six regiments into pay, refused his regiment.
Nicholas Cresswell visits the area.
Captain Crawford was promoted to major.[33]
When the news of the battle of Lexington came to the settlers on the upper Ohio, the patriots at once arranged for public meetings. The Pennsylvania partisans met at Hanna’s Town and the Viginia partisans at Pittsburg. The latter meeting took place on May 16, 1775, the day of the opening of the Virginia court. Resolutions were passed approving the conduct of Massachusetts in “resisting the invaders of American Rights and Privileges to the utmost extreme.” A committee of correspondence of twenty-eight members was appointed with Croghan as chairman. John Campbell, Edward Ward, Dorsey Pentecost, Thomas Smallman, and William Crawford were among his associates.[34] \
May 16, 1775: On April 19, 1775, Lexington and Concord became noted names of history. The astounding news
from those villages had scarcely reached the Monongahela valley,
when public meetings were held on the same day, to wit, May 16,
1775, both at Hanna's Town and Pittsburgh. At Hanna's Town
the Pennsylvania adherents assembled ; at Pittsburgh, the Virginia
partisans. Each meeting passed a set of resolutions with equally
forcible approval of the armed resistance to the invasion of Ameri-
can rights by the English government, and equally urging united
action by force of arms successfully to sustain that resistance. We may
call these sets of resolutions, adopted on the same day by the separate
adherents of two colonial jurisdictions, the Monongahela Declaration
of Independence. They antedate more than a year the Declaration
of Independence adopted and read to the people at Philadelphia on
July 4, 1776, and they antedate the celebrated Mecklenburg Reso-
lutions of North Carolina by four days. All honor to the Mononga-
hela valley !
A portion of the resolutions of the Westmoreland county meeting is
worthy of being copied :
"Resolved, unanimously, That there is no reason to doubt but the
same system of tyranny and oppression [referring to the oppressive
measures of the British government] will (should it meet with success
in Massachusetts Bay) be extended to other parts of America ; it is
therefore the indispensable duty of every American, of every man who
has any public virtue or love for his country, or any bowells for pos-
terity, by every means which God has put in his power, to resist and
oppose the execution of it ; that for us we will be ready to oppose it
with our lives and fortunes. ' ' [35]
May 15 - May 16, 1776: Battle of the Cedars.[36]
May 16, 1776: General Mifflin was well suited for this work. He was born in Philadelphia in tlie year 1744, and although of Quaker parentage he early displayed all the great qualifications of the soldier. When General Washington took command of the army, Mifflin was placed on his staff as colonel and quartermaster-general. He was made a brigadier general, May 16, 1776, and October i of the same year Congress requested him to resume the office of quartermaster-general. Soon after the battle of Princeton he received tlie commission of major-general. He was a man of pleasing manners, singularly attractive presence, and in speech he was truly eloquent.[37]
May 16, 1782: Below the signature of William Crawford, party of the other part, was also the signature of Ann Connell and the document was witnessed by Providence Mounts, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Moore, all of that date of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The deed recorded February 18, 1784. It became part of Colonel William Crawford’s estate that was left to Ann in his will, signed on May 16, 1782, before the tragic Sandusky Expedition.[38]
May 16, 1782
Major William Harrison’s will was dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784; and recorded in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa. [39]
Following his death, his widow Sarah (Crawford) Harrison, married Uriah Springer, who came to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from Virginia.[40]

May 16, 1782: In looking over the will of Major William Harrison, nephew of Charles Harrison, dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784: "It is my further will that the four thousand acres of land located in my name on Licking Creek, in the State of Virginia, be divided and distributed in manner, viz: First, I do give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Sarah, five hundred acres during her natural life, at the expiration of which, I desire they be sold and the money equally divided amongst my children or heirs of their body lawfully begotten." (Union-town, Pennsylvania, Court House, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Orphans Court, Book 1, Page 6, transferred to Book, Page 3.) This will says further: 500 acres to my brother, Benjamin Harrison and the remaining three thousand be divided amongst his children. This land, described as in Virginia, eventually turned out to be located in Kentucky. [46]
1786 - May 16 - The first Court of Bourbon County convened at Col. James Garrard's. First Justices, commissioned Jan. 12, 1786: James Garrard, Thomas Swearingen, John Edwards, Benjamin Harrison, John Hinkson, Alvin Mountjoy, Thomas Warring, Edward Waller, John Gregg. Benjamin Harrison was the first Sheriff, his securities were John Edwards and John Hinkson. [47]
May 16, 1789: William sought to be made a duke like his elder brothers, and to receive a similar parliamentary grant, but his father was reluctant. To put pressure on him, William threatened to stand for the House of Commons for the constituency of Totnes in Devon. Appalled at the prospect of his son making his case to the voters, George III created him Duke of Clarence and St Andrews and Earl of Munster on May 16, 1789,[17] supposedly saying, "I well know it is another vote added to the Opposition."[18] Although he allied himself publicly with the Whigs and his elder brothers (who were known for their conflict with their father), the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York, William's record was inconsistent and, like many politicians of the time, cannot be certainly ascribed to a single party.[19]
Service and politics

The newly created Duke ceased his active service in the Royal Navy in 1790.[20] When the United Kingdom declared war on France in 1793, he was anxious to serve his country and expected a command, but was not given a ship, perhaps at first because he had broken his arm by falling down some stairs drunk, but later because he gave a speech in the House of Lords opposing the war.[21] The following year he spoke in favour of the war, expecting a command after his change of heart; none came, the Admiralty did not even reply to his request.[22] He did not lose hope of being appointed to an active post; but, when he was made an admiral in 1798, the rank was purely titular.[23] Despite repeated petitions, he was never given a command throughout the Napoleonic Wars.[24] In 1811, he was appointed to the honorary position of Admiral of the Fleet. In 1813, he came nearest to any actual fighting, when he visited the British troops fighting in the Low Countries. Watching the bombardment of Antwerp from a church steeple, he came under fire. A bullet pierced his coat.[25]
Instead of serving at sea, he spent time in the House of Lords, where he spoke in opposition to the abolition of slavery, which although not legal in the United Kingdom still existed in the British colonies. Freedom would do the slaves little good, he argued. He had travelled widely and, in his eyes, the living standard among freemen in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland was worse than that among slaves in the West Indies.[26] His experience in the West Indies lent gravitas to his position, which was perceived as well-argued and just by some of his contemporaries.[27] Others thought it "shocking that so young a man, under no bias of interest, should be earnest in continuance of the slave trade".[28] In his speech to the House of Lords, the Duke insulted the leading abolitionist, saying "the proponents of the abolition are either fanatics or hypocrites, and in one of those classes I rank Mr. Wilberforce".[29] On other issues he was more liberal, such as supporting moves to abolish penal laws against dissenting Christians.[30] He also opposed efforts to bar those found guilty of adultery from remarriage.[31]
Relationships and marriage[edit]
From 1791, the Duke of Clarence lived for 20 years with an Irish actress, Dorothea Bland, better known by her stage name, Mrs. Jordan,[20] the title "Mrs" being assumed at the start of her stage career to explain an inconvenient pregnancy[32] and "Jordan" because she had "crossed the water" from Ireland to Britain.[33]

William was part of the first generation to grow to maturity under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, which forbade descendants of George II from marrying unless they obtained the monarch's consent, or, if over the age of 25, giving twelve months' notice to the Privy Council. Several of George III's sons, including William, chose to cohabit with the women they loved, rather than seeking a wife. After all, the younger sons, including William, were not expected to figure in the succession, which was considered secure once the Prince of Wales married and had a daughter, Princess Charlotte.
William appeared to enjoy the domesticity of his life with Mrs. Jordan. The Duke remarked to a friend, "Mrs. Jordan is a very good creature, very domestic and careful of her children. To be sure she is absurd sometimes and has her humours. But there are such things more or less in all families." The couple, while living quietly, enjoyed entertaining, with Mrs. Jordan writing in late 1809: "We shall have a full and merry house this Christmas, 'tis what the dear Duke delights in."[34] The King, generally somewhat of a prude, was accepting of his son's relationship with the actress (though recommending that he halve her allowance)[35] and in 1797, created William Ranger of Bushy Park, which included a large residence, Bushy House, for William's growing family.[36] William used Bushy as his principal residence until he became king.[37] His London residence, Clarence House, was constructed to the designs of John Nash between 1825 and 1827.[38]
The couple had ten illegitimate children, five sons and five daughters, nine of whom were named for William's siblings, and who were given the surname "FitzClarence".[39][40] The affair lasted for twenty years before ending in 1811. Mrs. Jordan at least had no doubt as to the reason for the break-up: "Money, money, my good friend, has, I am convinced made HIM at this moment the most wretched of men," adding, "With all his excellent qualities, his domestic virtues, his love for his lovely children, what must he not at this moment suffer?"[41] Mrs. Jordan was given a financial settlement of £4,400 (equal to £243,400 today) per year and custody of the daughters, on condition she did not resume the stage. When she did take up her acting career again, to repay debts incurred by her son-in-law (the husband of one of Mrs. Jordan's daughters from a previous relationship), the Duke took custody of the daughters and stopped paying the £1,500 (equal to £82,600 today) designated for their maintenance. With her career failing, she fled to France to escape her creditors, and died, impoverished, near Paris in 1816.[42][48]

circumstances, be persecuted [sic] for any act pertaining to this case.”
Also on this day -- at a tree-planting ceremony in front of Government House, JFK
shovels several spadesful of dirt and feels a sudden sharp pain in his back. A camera catches him
trying to conceal his agony by shielding his face with a hand as he leaves the scene. The pain
grows more severe, and White House physician Janet Travell administers hot packs and injects
the area with Novocaine. Later research will reveal that during the fall of 1961, Dr. Travell is
giving the president two or three injections of procaine, a local anesthetic, daily. Other physicians
near JFK become alarmed. JFK is also seeing Dr. Max Jacobson - receiving shots from him. No
single physician is totally in control of JFK’s treatment. Raymond Moley of Newsweek warned
Richard Nixon after the 1960 election that the new President might suffer “palpable mental lapses”
that could usher in “a serious crisis. Perhaps you know all or more than I do, but Bill Casey I went into
it thoroughly. And it is frightening. There are several contingencies which may well mean a one-term
Presidency - even the succession of Johnson.” [75]

[17] Joseph CABELL, Jr.
•Born: January 6, 1762, Amherst County, Virginia, USA
•Marriage (1): Pocahontas Rebecca BOLLING in 1783 in Bollingbrook House, Petersburg, Virginia, USA
•Marriage (2): Anne E. BOLLING
•Died: August 31, 1831, Henderson Co., KY aged 69
User ID: P00051729.
General Notes:
Joseph Cabell, Jr., was born January 6, 1762; was first taught by tutors; was at Hampden Sidney in 1778 and 1779; and at William and Mary College from May 4, 1779, to 1781. Although his name does not appear in Mr. Grigsby's list, he was certainly a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. His son, Gen. Benjamin Cabell, said that the college boys formed a company, of which Joseph, Jr., was a member, and that this company was attached to the regiment of Col. Joseph Cabell, the elder, at Yorktown.
Joseph Cabell, of Repton, devoted himself to his farm and domestic pursuits with success; but he finally determined to follow his sisters to Kentucky, -- "the then promised land," -- and sold "Repton" to Gov. William H. Cabell, who changed the name to "Montevideo."
He emigrated with his family to Kentucky in 1811; settled in Henderson County, and died there on August 31, 1831. His widow died at "The Retreat," in Buckingham, while on a visit to Virginia, on January 26, 1834.
Col. Robert Bolling, of "Chellowe" (the father of Col. Joseph Cabell, Jr.'s first wife), was born August 17, 1738. "He was educated at Wakefield, in England, by the celebrated Dr. Clarke. He was learned in many languages, and wrote the 'Memoirs of the Bolling Family' in the French tongue, a translation of which, by John Robertson, was edited and printed by T. H. Wynne, Richmond, 1869." He was "a lover of wisdom and esteemed it more precious than rubies." He was high sheriff of Buckingham County in 1767, and is said to have been a member of the House of Burgesses. He was a member of the Convention of July 1775, and died at Williamsburg while in attendance on that body. He was the son of Maj. Jobn Bolling, born in 1700; county lieutenant of Chesterfield; justice of the peace; and "for thirty years a member of the House of Burgesses." Between 1740 and 1751, he entered for over 20,000 acres of land in the present counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Appomattox, and Campbell for himself and sons, together with two small entries for Maj. Richard Kennon and Mr. Thomas Edwards. Bolling's Creek, south of Lynchburg, in Amherst County, was named for him. He married, August 1, 1728, Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Archibald Blair (of the House of Burgesses), and niece of Commissary James Blair, D. D., founder of William and Mary College. He died September 6, 1757. He was the son of Col. John Bolling, of "Cobbs" (born 1676), "who engaged in commerce, and conducted an extensive and gainful trade with his countrymen, and a yet larger one with the Indians (equally his countrymen)." He was a member of the House of Burgesses; married, in 1697, Mary, daughter of Richard Kennon, of "Conjuror's Neck" (also a member of the House of Burgesses), and died in 1729. He was son of Col. Robert Bolling (1646-1709), the emigrant, by his wife, Jane Rolfe, daughter of Thomas Rolfe, son of John Rolfe, by his wife, generally incorrectly called "Pocahontas," which was not her name; her Indian name was "Matoaka," and her baptismal name was "Rebecca." She was a daughter of "Wahunsenacawh," the chief of the Powhatan tribe of Indians, commonly called "King Powhatan" by the English.
"Matoaka" was "the first fruit of the English church among the Virginians," and as such occupies a position of unique attraction in our earliest annals. Her husband, John Rolfe, was one of the founders of Virginia. He wrote one of the most accurate accounts of the enterprise, and devoted his life to the establishment of the colony.
Archibald Bolling, of "Red Oak," and of "The Retreat," the father of the second wife of Col. Joseph Cabell, Jr., is said, in the work just referred to, to have been born March 20, 1750. But on May 9, 1743, Maj. John Bolling entered for his son Archibald 600 acres of land on Possum Creek of the Fluvanna. (James) River. So the major must have had another son by this name, who died young, or the foregoing date of birth is wrong, as although entries were made in the names of infants, we cannot suppose the major to have taken time so vehemently by the forelock as to make the entry seven years before the child was born.
Archibald Bolling died about 1829. He was a brother of Col. Robert Bolling, of "Chellowe," aforesaid, and his ancestry was the same. He was married four times. The mother of Mrs. Anne Everard Duval Cabell was his second wife, Jane Randolph, the daughter of Richard Randolph, of Curls (member of the House of Burgesses), and his wife, Anne Meade. Which Richard was an uncle of John Randolph of Roanoke, and a son of Col.

[42] The family of John and Frances (Bradford) Crawford, lived at ‘Crawford’s Delight’ along the banks of the beautiful Youghiogheny River. How wonderful it would be, if we knew more in detailed explanation, of this couple and their two little sons. Moses being the eldest, would be five years old in 1770. At an early age, which may have been about this time, Moses met with an accident. He was left with a handicap the rest of his life. He was unable to participate in the military affairs, as his father and grandfather. Seemingly, his grandfather, Col. WilliamCrawford, made an effort to prepare for him, a future with an education and sufficiaent provisions to offset this handicap.

[43] Notice that William makes special mention of John’s children LAWFULLY BEGOTTEN, indicating perhaps there are some not lawfully begotten! Ann Connell is not mentioned as a daughter but the legacies definitely indicate that she was. (Ancestors of Forrest Roger Garnett, Page 454.35)
[44] His earthly possessions he put in order as he made his last will and testament on May 16, 1782, bearing out that he had certain apprehensions of no return.
The will of William Crawford, as follows: Proved on September 10th, of the same year. Recorded December 29th, 1819 and may be be found on record in the dockets of the Register of Wills and Orphan’s Court, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. (From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col.

[60] Red River Campaign * POLITICS AND COTTON IN THE CIVIL WAR BY LUDWELL H. JOHNSON The Johns Hopkins Press * BALTIMORE
[61] Their line of battle extended east and west of the village of Mansura. They (The confederates) had thirty odd pieces of artillery.
[62] At Mansura, 16 May, the Federals had to fight their way through a Confederate position. Meanwhile, Liddell’s cavalry was harrying Porter from the north bank of the river.

Rear Admiral David Porter
“The U.S. Civil War Out West” The History Channel.
[63] Advancing across the Avoyelle Prairie five miles south of Marksville, Banks found the Confederate’s disposed in force across his path, much as they had been at Sabine Cross roads except that here the terrain was open and gave him a sobering view of what he faced. There line of battle extended east and west of the village of Mansura. They had thirty odd pieces of artillery, more than half of them had been his own up to the time of the previous confrontation just short of Mansfield which this one most uncomfortably resembled. Unlimbered and ready to take him under fire as soon as he ventured within range. Their numbers in infantry and cavalry were hard to estimate, masked as their center was by the town, but Bank’s did not decline the challenge. He shook out his skirmishers, put his own guns in position as many of the remaining seventy in any case as he could find room for on the three mile width of prairie. Formed as infantry for attack with cavalry posted neatly on both flanks and then when forward, blue flags rippling in the breeze.
The result as the troops began to move and the guns began to growl was enough to make observers in both armies each of which had a full view of the other catch their breath in admiration. Advancing across the lush and level prairie, “smooth as a billiard table” as Taylor was to say of it in his report. “The Union host was resplendent in steel and brass”, according to one of its members, a Conneticut infantryman who afterward tried his hand at a word sketch of the scene including, “Miles of lines and columns. The cavalry gliding over the ground in the distance with the delicate nimble lightness enumerable twinkling feet. A few batteries enveloped in smoke and incessantly hundering. Others dashing swiftly to salient positions. Division and Corp commanders with their staff officers clustering about them, watching through their glasse s the hostile army. Couriors riding swiftly from wing to wing. Everywhere the beautiful silken flags and the scene ever changing involutions and evolutions of the vast host.”
It was in short that seldom encountered thing, picture book war. Though the armies remained at approximate confrontation for four hours the action was practically limited to artillery exchanges, since neither commander seemed willing to venture between point blank range of the others guns.
When at last Bank’s brought A.J. Smiths westerners forward for an attack on the rebel left, Taylor withdrew in that direction, south and west, and the federals resumed their march to the south and east through Mansura and on to Bayou de Glaize on whose banks they stopped for the night.
