MY DEAR HUSBAND, 
 
 WITHOUT WHOSE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT IT 
 COULD NEVES HAVE BEEN WRITTEN, 
 THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY 
 DEDICATED.

EXPLANATIONS. 
 
 In preparing and arranging this work I have endeavored to give 
 all information attainable in connection with each and every person 
 whose name appears in the book, and have tried to leave out every- 
 thing of a merely traditional character, confining myself strictly to 
 the statement of facts. 
 
 In several instances where collateral names appear I have digressed 
 and given something of their history prior to the time of their marry- 
 . ing into this family. 
 
 I have made use of no unusual abbreviations. Each direct descend- 
 ant of John Walker of Wigton when first mentioned is given a num- 
 ber, the + mark following the name indicates that they are to be men- 
 tioned again, in which case the name will be followed by its proper 
 number in parenthesis. Where no such mark appears all that could 
 be learned of their history appears in the birth notice. 
 
 Where collateral records are given the names appearing in these 
 records are designated by the letters of the alphabet. 
 
 In designating generations, unless otherwise stated, they run back 
 to the two sons of John Walker of Wigton, each one of whom is 
 marked No. 1 as being the first of his particular line. 
 
 A complete index to the names appearing in this work will be 
 found in the back.

PREFACE. 
 
 ijg^Hj N SENDING out this book, the fruit of nearly ten years of 
 P H toil and research, I feel that many apologies should be made 
 mssm for its incompleteness, <>-.. ing ro the impossibility at this late 
 day of connecting many families of whose relationship 
 we were almost certain, and it is to be hoped that some one may yet 
 find the missing links and give to the public the continuation of this 
 record. 
 
 There was a Walker family in Virginia (supposed to have come 
 from England), prior to the coming of our ancestor, of which Dr. 
 Thomas Walker of Castle Hill was probably the best known repre- 
 sentative. I am of the opinion that he and our progenitor, John 
 Walker, were related ; my opinion is based chiefly upon the fact of a 
 similarity of Christian names in the two families, and then it will be 
 remembered that soon after coming to America John Walker and 
 several members of his household left Chester County, Pennsylvania, 
 where they had made a temporary home, and went down into Vir- 
 ginia and settled not far from the home of this Dr. Walker, whose 
 presence there was probably known to his kinsmen, if they were re- 
 lated, who were seeking homes in a new country. 
 
 Before taking up the genealogy of this family and relating what 
 we know of its history, a short review of the events leading up to 
 their removal from the land of their fathers was thought proper in 
 introducing this work, after which will follow a letter from Dr. 
 W. M. McPheeters, of St. Louis, Mo. 
 
 The first mention we find of the Scottish people is in the Roman 
 Annals about the time of Constantine, 274-337, where they are

 PREFACE. 
 
 spoken of as a trans-marine people from Ireland. The Scots and 
 Picts are often confused as one people, probably from the fact of 
 their so often joining forces against their common enemies, the 
 Eomans, when in reality they had no connection in lineage or native 
 land. The Picts were the people of North Britain, descendants of 
 the ancient Celtic clans, who at one time fought Agricola at the foot 
 of the Grampian, and were often called Caledonians. Gibbon makes 
 a definite distinction when he says that at a very early time the 
 northern region was divided between the Picts and Scots, the Picts 
 holding sway from 446 to 843 A. D. After this the Scots colonized 
 Argyle and superseded them after a bloody struggle of over 300 
 years ; then followed successive turns of supremacy of Picts, Koman- 
 ized Britons, Angles of Lothian and Scots of Argyle. During this 
 time Northern Britain was occupied by some twenty clans, who, far 
 from being united in any common interest, were usually found quar- 
 reling among themselves, the Princes of three races or families con- 
 tending for the supremacy, and the history of the country at that 
 time is little more than a recital of their conflicts and changes, with 
 little, if any, written law. The Brehon or Judge, Bard, Harpist, 
 Poet and Historian holding their office by right of descent and in- 
 heritance, the Brehon administering justice from a turf or heap of 
 stones without any formality whatever, one ancient custom being 
 that of holding every chief of every elan answerable for every one of 
 their sept or kindred, when he should be charged with any crime. 
 Something akin to this custom is to be found upon the statute books 
 of both Ireland and Scotland to-day. Naturally the growth of such 
 a people would be slow; there was little evidence of comfort or re- 
 finement in their surroundings ; their best houses were built of wat- 
 tles ; even the Abbey of Iona, long Scotland's seat of learning, was 
 constructed of this rude material, buildings of lime and stone being 
 works of a comparatively recent period. For many years the cloth- 
 ing of even the Monks was made of the skins of beasts, most of the

 woolen and linen which came to be used later being procured by 
 traffic, the variegated plaid which is now the distinctive dress of 
 these people being introduced later. The exact date of its adoption 
 is not known, but it was in use at the beginning of the 17th century, 
 at which time it assumed a character it has ever since maintained, 
 with the exception of some slight changes in the tunic worn. The 
 colors and pattern of the plaid determining the position and family 
 of the wearer, that of the Eoyal Stuart being the richest of all. 
 Their food was of the simplest kind, consisting principally of fish, 
 flesh and milk. The Monks of Iona, who subsisted mostly by their 
 own labor, we are told, raised some corn and owned orchards, one of 
 which was situated near Kirkcudbright. There were also an orchard 
 and gardens at the Monastery of ISTew Abbey, as early as the 12th 
 century. Manufactories there were none: each family had its own 
 carpenter, weaver and shoemaker. Thus they lived, simply if not 
 very peaceably, working out the destiny of a race which was to be- 
 come the staunchest, hardiest class of men to be found on the face 
 of the earth. The civil feuds which desolated for ages tins country 
 of our ancestors, were probably an outcome of the power vested in 
 the chiefs of the clans, to make war and peace at their pleasure, and 
 it is to be regretted that they were oftenest found yielding to their 
 savage instincts, and allowing war and bloodshed to prevail, when a 
 more peaceful condition of affairs would have left them free to cul- 
 tivate those arts which would have softened their natures, hastened 
 civilization, and assisted Christianization. 
 
 The sons of Ere, with their colonists, were undoubtedly Christians 
 at the time of their emigration to Xorth Britain, but we hear little 
 of religious establishments, except the chapel and burying ground 
 dedicated to St. Cirian on the site of Campbelltown in Kintyre, un- 
 til the illustrious Columba arrived from Ireland in 563 and founded 
 the Abbey of Iona. "The religion of the Columbans," says Archbis- 
 hop Ussher, '-'was similar to that of the Protestants of to-day. They

 PREFACE. 
 
 founded many chapels which perpetuate in their names the piety of 
 the early Scots." This instructive school of North Britain harbored 
 kings who retired from unstable thrones, also princes of Northum- 
 berland who came for instruction, and was the repository of the Scot- 
 tish kings after death. This good man and his disciples labored 
 among these people, and to them is given the credit of converting 
 B ridel, the Pictish King, and many of his subjects. They estab- 
 lished monasteries in every Caledonian county, their first Bishop be- 
 ing Ternan, who resided at Abernethy, the Pictish capital. When 
 Columba died in 597 he left his monastery well established, a people 
 converted by his efforts from paganism to Christianity, and a name 
 which every Scotchman delights to honor. He was followed by other 
 good and zealous prelates, whose labors spread the gospel throughout 
 this, and the surrounding islands, and exerted a wonderful influence 
 for good over this race of people who were to become such a powerful 
 nation. The cause of Christianity had an able supporter in the per- 
 son of Walter, son of Alan, the first Stewart of Scotland. He 
 brought with him from Shropshire, about 1160 A. D., a prior and 
 thirteen monks, for whom he erected a monastery and church at 
 Paisley. These were liberally endowed by the founder and his wife, 
 Eschina. Many of Walter's successors contributed bountifully to 
 its support until it became one of the most opulent monasteries in 
 the south of Scotland; and in so doing builded better than they 
 knew, for while these Princes were growing in power and possessions, 
 a spirit of Republicanism was being, unconsciously perhaps, fostered 
 by these holy men, and early in their history we find them contend- 
 ing for their right to choose their religious teachers, this spirit lead- 
 ing up gradually, but surely, to the great upheaval of the 16th cen- 
 tury, when prince and potentate were compelled to yield to the spirit 
 of reformation which swept over the land, led by Knox, that faithful 
 disciple of Calvin, completely revolutionizing affairs, after which 
 the Reformed Church came to be acknowledged the true head of the

 nation, and every Scotchman stood ready to defend it with his life. 
 But contentions followed thick and fast, and thousands were im- 
 prisoned, and in some instances execution was the penalty for at- 
 tending divine services, secretly held in defiance of the royal edict. 
 St. Andrews, the oldest of the Scottish Universities, may well be 
 called the cradle of the Reformation in Scotland, for it was here that 
 John Knox received instruction and was afterwards an instructor, 
 and to its sheltered walls he, with many of his associates, hastened, 
 driven thither by persecution, and here Samuel Rutherford imbibed 
 the spirit which was with him when he journeyed to Westminster to 
 attend the "Solemn League and Covenant," where the catechism and 
 confession of the Presbyterian Church was drawn up. This spirit, 
 the natural outgrowth of which was Republicanism, was clearly set 
 forth by Rutherford in his famous "Lex Rex," a book which, when 
 brought to the notice of the Government, was ordered to be burned. 
 This order was executed, at Edinburg in 1661 by the hangman, and 
 again a few days afterwards by the infamous Sharpe under the win- 
 dows of the author's College in St. Andrews. This holy man of 
 Anwoth faced death and persecution at the head of his little band of 
 faithful followers, and wrote some of his most beautiful and touch- 
 ing letters to his sorrowing brethren after he had been silenced by 
 his King. These published letters have passed through many edi- 
 tions, and are full of the Holy Spirit, and give us some idea of what 
 the life of the saintly Rutherford must have been. 
 
 The Protestant emigrants to America brought with them from 
 Scotland much of this spirit which found vent at different times, 
 noticeably when revolution impended, as they were the first to make 
 a declaration of independence early in the year 1775. They had al- 
 ways been independent in heart and conscience, and valued liberty 
 above everything else, and were found ready and willing to give up 
 life itself when the time for action came. They were not idle when 
 the angel of death hovered over the infant Republic, but were among 
 
xii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 the first to respond when the call for help sounded from Washington, 
 and among the last to leave the field. But they were ever a modest 
 people; their history has never been fully written except on the 
 hearts of their countrymen, and it is well that some little recognition 
 of their services to their country, and to the world at large, be re- 
 corded here, for they are fast being fused with the great mass of a 
 population whose power of assimilation is the marvel of our times. 
 
 The people of Wigtonshire have always been noted for their pa- 
 triotism and love of liberty. As early as 1547 they rose in defense 
 of their country during the minority of Queen Mary, and many of 
 them fell on the Pinkie battlefield while fighting the invading foe, 
 and concurred most zealously at the time of the Eeformation. At 
 a subsequent period in Scotland's history it is said the people of this 
 shire acted reasonably and held aloof from the body of men who 
 came into Dumfries on that memorable 20th of November, 1706, 
 and burnt the articles of Union. 
 
 At the time of the Revolution the Scotch-Irish sided with William 
 of Orange, and at the siege of Londonderry thousands of Protestants 
 of both sexes were crowded behind the bulwarks. The Dissenters, 
 from the fact of their having been excluded from the army, were 
 wholly unfitted for a military life, but inspired by the same spirit 
 which Calvin and Knox possessed, these people were suddenly trans- 
 formed into heroes; the story of their suffering and privations has 
 no parallel in history. Their allegiance to the Crown at that time 
 was remarkable ; true and loyal they were, notwithstanding the per- 
 secutions which were at this very time being carried on against them, 
 and for what ? "Proscribed because of their religion/' and excluded 
 from all positions of trust, what wonder that forbearance ceased to 
 be a virtue — and they were finally driven as outcasts from their be- 
 loved land. Ireland, which they hoped to find a more neutral 
 ground, only witnessed renewed persecutions, and after a short so- 
 journ here many of them embarked for America, Londonderry be-

 ing the home of those of our family who sought refuge on this island 
 for a time. Eev. Walker, one of the prominent leaders at the time 
 of that memorable siege, being instrumental in establishing a mem- 
 orial church here known as "The Walker Church." These people, 
 among whom were the Walkers, McDowells, Moores, Campbells, 
 Hays, McPheeters, Logans, Stuarts, Irvines, and many others, had 
 heard of Pennsylvania, and hither they journeyed, but jealousies 
 arose, and for reasons which were well founded they were finally led 
 to make another move, this time to the Virginia Valley, where they 
 were to find a permanent home, settling on what was then known as 
 "Burden's Grant," a tract of land lying in the Shenandoah, or James 
 River Valley. As soon as a temporary shelter had been provided for 
 their families, these sturdy pioneers turned their attention to the 
 establishment of churches and founding of schools. If we could lift 
 from the past the veil which enshrouds the happenings in the "Old 
 Dominion" during the years between 1700 and 1800, the mass of un- 
 recorded history which it would reveal would fill volumes, and it 
 would bring to light the stories of the exploits of many a hero, the 
 recital of which must, I fear, ever remain as a song that is unsung. 
 
 It has been aptly remarked that Virginia's sons were, almost to a 
 man, found at the front when the strife with the mother country was 
 going on, and the history of the birth of our Eepublic was being 
 made. Those whose duty it would have been to make a record of 
 the happenings of the day were far away on the scene of action, their 
 pen having been exchanged for rifle or sword, in many instances 
 their only "Honorable Discharge" being writ in the blood they spill- 
 ed. When a true history of Virginia is written the doings of these 
 poor but honest and upright people must necessarily be told. Lord 
 Macaulay once said: "A people which takes no pride in the noble 
 achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy 
 to be remembered with pride by remote descendants." 
 
 With this thought in mind, and to assist in preserving the record

 of a portion of these people whose history has well-nigh been lost, 
 this work of a few allied families was undertaken, and will be left 
 as a message to those who will come after me / with the hope that it 
 will prove an example which will inspire respect for, and a desire 
 to emulate the virtues of these, our worthy progenitors, and help to 
 keep alive in the hearts of our descendants a love and veneration for 
 a people who were patriotic in the truest sense of the word. 
 
 In concluding these remarks I wish to express my thanks and ap- 
 preciation to all who were so kind as to assist in the collection of 
 these annals, and are, in my estimation, deserving of especial men-

 Dear Madam : — 
 
 I am aware that for a long time yon have been engaged in 
 the laborious but praiseworthy task of collecting and arranging ma- 
 terial gathered from all available sources, at home and abroad, with 
 a view of tracing and putting on permanent record the genealogical 
 history and interesting data of the celebrated Walker family, includ- 
 ing the various collateral families thereunto allied, and I am glad 
 to learn that your arduous undertaking is approaching completion. 
 
 The record of this group of families, so prominent among the 
 early settlers, and the pioneers of civilization, Christianity and learn- 
 ing in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and other states, to say 
 nothing of their libertA'-lovins: record and achievements in the old 
 world, especially in Scotland and the north of Ireland, can not fail 
 to be of interest to the numerous descendants of these families, who 
 by reason of kinship are sharers in their history, as well as to ail 
 those who are interested in the history and development of church 
 and state in our country. 
 
 "Without pretending to anything like a thorough knowledge of the 
 subject in hand, and not knowing the breadth and scope of your re- 
 searches, I may nevertheless be permitted to state what I have always 
 regarded as the characteristic traits of the men and women compos- 
 ing and giving prominence to the families, whose history and lin- 
 eages you have undertaken to unfold. It is briefly this : That from 
 a very early period, before emigrating to this country, as well as dur- 
 ing all the subsequent years, they have been noted for unswerving 
 adherence to Christian principle and duty : that in large degree they 
 have been a God-fearing, man-serving race, and as such have fur- 
 nished the church, as well as the state and the cause of education and 
 learning, many bright and distinguished votaries, as will doubtless 
 appear from the pages of your forthcoming book. 
 
 But I do not propose to enlarge on this subject, nor in any wise to 
 anticipate your revelations ; yet I must add, that to be descended 
 from such ancestors is just cause for gratitude. 
 
 Very truly and sincerely yours, 
 
 W. M. McPheeters.

 OUR ALLEINB ANCESTORS. 
 
 In Sims' Index to Heralds' Visitations I found references to the 
 Aliens, or Alleyns, of Farnham, as follows : 
 
 155. fo. 19b. 891. fo. 20. 1560. fo. 191b. 
 
 And Allen 1820. fo. 46b. 1449. fo. 6b. 
 Also Alleyn v. Allen. 
 
 Almott, 1449. fo. 5b. 1560. fo. 182b. 
 
 I sent these references to Rev. John Holding of Baldock, Hertz, 
 England, who, after looking them np, sent me the accompanying 
 Coat of Arms and Crest, which he asserts belonged to the Alleins of 
 Suffolk ; and as we have it npon the best of authority that onr ances- 
 tor, Joseph Alleine, was of this family, I do not hesitate to publish 
 said arms as the one onr family used at an early day. 
 
 Rev. Holding also sent some interesting data and the records of 
 several generations of the Alleins of Suffolk prior to the time of Jos- 
 eph Alleine, which I may be able eventually to connect with our 
 branch of the family. 
 
 It is not known just how our two ancestors, Joseph and Richard 
 Alleine were related, but they were evidently both descended from

 Alan, Lord of Buckenhall. The former married Theodoshia, daugh- 
 ter of the latter, and refers to him in his will as his father-in-law. 
 We know that his fathers name was Tobie (probably Tobias) and 
 that he had brothers, Francis, jSTorman and Timothy. Farther than 
 this we could not learn, and of Bichard's family we only know of his 
 three children, William, Bichard and Theodoshia. From different 
 reliable sources we learned the following concerning this family : 
 
 The Alleins came out of Suffolk, some of them, as early as 1430, 
 descended from Alan, Lord of Buckenhall, and settled in the neigh- 
 borhood of Calne and Devizes, whence descended the immediate an- 
 cestors of "worthy Mr. Tobie Allein." He was the father of a large 
 family — the eldest, Edward, had been a clergyman, but dying in his 
 twenty-seventh year, he was succeeded by the fourth son, 
 
 Joseph Allein, & non-conformist divine, who was born at Devizes, 
 in Wiltshire, in 1633. Having manifested at a very early age, an 
 eminently pious disposition, and an inclination for the ministry, he 
 was educated with this view and sent to Oxford at the age of sixteen 
 years. At college he was distinguished by diligence in his studies 
 and gravity in his deportment. 
 
 In 1653 he became a tutor in the college of Corpus Christi, to 
 which he belonged, and where for the exercise of his gifts in prayer, 
 he had performed the office of chaplain, which he preferred to a fel- 
 lowship ; and in this situation he was so assiduous and so successful, 
 that many of his pupils occupied respectable stations both in the es- 
 tablished church and among the non-conformists. 
 
 In 1655 he left college, and was assistant minister at Taunton 
 Magdalen, in Somersetshire, until the year 1662, when he was de- 
 prived for non-conformity. During this connection, he was inde- 
 fatigable in his ministerial services, and his conduct was so amiable 
 and exemplary as to secure the affectionate esteem and attachment 
 of his parishioners. 
 
 After his exclusion from the Church, he persevered in his labors, 
 and preached commonly six or seven, and sometimes fourteen or fif- 
 teen times a week; till in 1663 he was committed to Ivelchester gaol 
 (jail), where seven ministers and fifty Quakers were closely confined 
 and enduring similar hardships. At the assizes Allein was convicted 
 of having preached in the preceding May, and sentenced to pay one 
 hundred marks, and to remain in prison until the fine was paid. "I 
 am glad" he said, on receiving his sentence, "that it has appeared 
 
xviii 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 before my country, that whatever I am charged with, I have been 
 guilty of nothing but doing my duty; and that all which appeared 
 from the evidence was, that I sung a psalm and instructed my fam- 
 ily, others being there, and both in my own house." 
 
 By an imprisonment of twelve months, Allein's constitution was 
 impaired and the duration of his life shortened. After his release, 
 he renewed his labors, and his sufferings were also renewed; his 
 health gradually declined, and in 1668 he finished his course at the 
 age of thirty-five years. 
 
 His biographers, Anthony Wood excepted, bear testimony to his 
 learning and charity. Zealous in his own mode of worshiping God, 
 he was not, as ministers of the established church have testified, in 
 the least bitter towards any Christians who worshiped in another 
 manner. He preserved a great respect for the church, notwithstand- 
 ing all his sufferings, and was eminently loyal to his prince, notwith- 
 standing the severities of the times. 
 
 His writings breathe a true spirit of piety, for which they have 
 been always and deservedly esteemed. His works are : "An Explana- 
 tion of the Assembly's Shorter Catechism," in 1656, 8v. ; "Call to 
 Archipus," exhorting the ejected members to continue in their min- 
 istry, 1664, 4to. ; "An Alarm to the Unconverted," 1672, 8vo. and 
 12mo., of which twenty thousand were sold, and after it was printed 
 in 1675 under the title, "A Sure Guide to Heaven," fifty thousand; 
 "Christian Letters, full of Spiritual Instruction," in 1672, 8vo. ; 
 "Cases of Conscience," 1672, 8vo. ; "Eemains, etc.," 1672, 8vo., and 
 several other small practical pieces, besides an imperfect body of 
 natural theology in Latin, which has not been printed. An account

 those broad and deep foundations on which rests England's present 
 scientific renown. These scientific studies and experiments, never- 
 theless, were ever kept in subordination to his proper work. The ex- 
 tent of his influence was, in so young a man, unique, resting funda- 
 mentally on the earnestness of his nature and the manifest power of 
 his ministry. 
 
 When he died, the mourners remembered their beloved minister's 
 words while yet with them, "If I should die fifty miles away, let me 
 be buried at Taunton," and they found a grave for him in St. Mary's 
 Chancel."

 granddaughter and suggests the idea that there was a relationship 
 existing between the two families. — Ed.] 
 
 Of the life and family of Eichard Alleine, grandfather of Isabel 
 Alleine, who married Eev. John Rutherford, we have the following : 
 
 Richard Allein, for upwards of fifty years rector of Dichet, Somer- 
 setshire, had two sons, William and Richard, and a daughter, Theo- 
 dosia. Theodosia married Joseph Allein about 1655, and their 
 daughter, Isabel, married Rev. John Rutherford. John and Isabel 
 Rutherford were the parents of Catherine Rutherford, who married 
 John Walker in 1702. 
 
 Richard Allein (son of Richard and brother of Theodoshia), 
 known in biography as a non-conformist divine, was born at Dichet, 
 Somersetshire, in 1611, educated by his father, who was rector of 
 the parish, and entered, a commoner, at St. Alban^s Hall, Oxford, 
 in 1627. Having taken the degrees of bachelor and master of arts 
 in the University, he became first, assistant preacher to his father, 
 and afterwards, viz: in 1641, rector of Batcomb in Somersetshire, 
 where he faithfully discharged his duty. 
 
 Having received from his father a bias towards the sentiments of 
 the Puritans, he attached himself to that party, and zealously sup- 
 ported the solemn league and covenant, though he disapproved of 
 the enthusiastic spirit of some of its adherents ; as appears by a paper 
 printed in 1648 entitled, "The testimony of the ministry of Somer- 
 setshire to the truth of Jesus Christ, and to the solemn league and 
 covenant." 
 
 In 1654 he was employed as assistant to the commissioners ap- 
 pointed by Parliament for ejecting scandalous ministers; at the 
 restoration, he manifested an inclination to yield submission to the 
 government; but unable conscientiously to comply with the terms 
 of conformity, he preferred the alternative, imposed by the act of 
 uniformity, of quitting his living after having retained it for twenty 
 years, and of ranking with about two thousand other sufferers, who 
 were distinguished by the denomination of ejected ministers. 
 
 Under the restraints and penalties of this act, he exercised his 
 ministry in the house of Mr. More, who had been formerly a member 
 of the Parliament, and who lived in his neighborhood; and though 
 he was reprimanded by the magistrates and imprisoned, his reputa- 
 tion for piety, learning and exemplary conduct, procured a mitiga- 
 tion of the rigorous treatment which he encountered. 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 In consequence of the "Five Mile Act/ 5 he was under the necessity 
 of removing from Batcomb to Frome-Selwood, where he continued 
 in the discharge of his professional duties, notwithstanding the dan- 
 gers to which he was exposed. In this situation he remained until 
 death terminated his trials and labors in 1681. 
 
 He was distinguished by his plain, practical and pathetic manner 
 of preaching, and by his assiduity in the duties of his pastoral office, 
 such as catechizing, visiting the sick, and instructing the ignorant. 
 Although he was an avowed non-conformist and strictly attached to 
 his principles, the moderation of his temper, as well as his general 
 character, reco mm ended him to the clergy and laity of sentiments 
 different from his own. and he lived amongst them on terms of 
 friendship and intercourse. Mr. Jenkins, Vicar of Frome-Selwood, 
 preached his funeral sermon, and bore witness to his meekness, piety 
 and moderation. 
 
 His works, which were all of a devotional kind, were much esteem- 
 ed and frequently reprinted. The principal of these was his, "Vin- 
 diciae Pietatis/' or "A Vindication of Godliness, in the greatest 
 strictness and spirituality of it, from the imputations of folly and 
 fancy,*' which was published in 1665, without a printers name, be- 
 cause it was not licensed. The following from the Enc. Brit, states 
 that : "Rodger Norton, the King's printer, caused a part of the first 
 impression to be seized on account of it not being licensed, and or- 
 dered it sent to the Royal kitchen for waste paper. Glancing over 
 its pages, he was struck with what he read, and on second thought, 
 it seemed to him a sin that a book so holy, and so salable, should be 
 destroyed. 'He therefore bought back the sheets.' says Calamv, 'for 
 an old song, bound them, and sold them in his own shop.' This in 
 turn was complained of against him, and the shrewd publisher had 
 to beg pardon on his knees before the council-table, and the remain- 
 ing copies were sentenced to be "bisk"d" or rubbed over with an inky 
 brush, and sent back to the kitchen for lighting fires. Such "bisk'd" 
 copies occasionally occur still.'' 
 
 The other works of Allein were : "'Heaven Opened, or a brief and 
 plain discovery of the riches of God's covenant of grace.'" printed in 
 1665: "The World Conquered/' 1668. 8vo. ; "Godly Fear,"' 1674, 
 8vo. ; "Rebuke to Backsliders, and a Spur for Loiterers."' 1677 and

 In reference to an old book which has come into my possession 
 and which I value as a priceless legacy, I append the following letter 
 from England: 
 
 Stotfold Vicarage, 
 Baldock, Herts, 9th August, 1901. 
 
 My Dear Mr. White : — 
 
 I am sending Mrs. White a MS. written by the Eev. 
 Richard Alleine, Rector of Batcombe. The writing is very beauti- 
 ful and quite distinct. The present Rector of Batcombe had it sold 
 to him, and let me have it, thinking it more of a personal than paro- 
 chial matter. It is quite a relic of the family, and no doubt Mrs. 
 White will value it very highly as the work of one of her ancestors. 
 
 Yours very faithfully, 
 
 John Holding. 
 
 The Book is a small volume about 5-| x 3-| inches in size, and con- 
 tains 184 closely written pages of sermons from various Bible texts; 
 the first is from I Peter, 2, 11 : Dearly beloved, I beseech you as 
 strangers and pilgrims abstain from fleshly lusts which war against 
 the soul. The opening words of the sermon were as follows : If we 
 look back to the ninth verse of this chapter we shall find that this is 
 the end of our Christian profession, to show forth the praises of 
 God, &c. 
 
 The book is bound in leather and is well preserved, being at this 
 time not less than two hundred and fifty years old.

 THE KUTHEKFOKD FAMILY. 
 
 The traditional account of the origin of this name is that a man 
 of distinction on the borders conducted Ruther, King of the Scots, 
 safely through the river Tweed in an expedition against the Britons 
 at a place from that event called Rutherford. The King, after the 
 expedition was over, bestowed lands contiguous thereto upon his 
 faithful conductor from which his posterity assumed the name of 
 Rutherford. Certain it is that they have always been considered as 
 among the most ancient and powerful families on the borders. They 
 were bold and brave in the defense of their country, and many of 
 them were noted for religious fervor and gifts of imagination and 
 literary expression. The best known no doubt was Sir Walter Scott, 
 the Great Magician of Romance, whose mother was Ann Rutherford, 
 of the Hundalee branch of this family. 
 
 In trying to determine just how our ancestor, John Rutherford, 
 was related to this family many difficulties present themselves. In 
 "Rutherfords of That Ilk," an extensive treatise of the Rutherfords 
 of Teviotdale, in most cases only the families of the eldest son are 
 carried down, so that we are not able to find in this work the name 
 of the father of Rev. Samuel Rutherford, who was, we are told, a 
 near relative of our ancestor, John. This much has been handed 
 down to us in several authentic documents, but the <exaet relationship 
 probably never will be known. After a careful study of the subject, 
 Walter MacLeod of Edinburg says that he has not been able to learn 
 the names of the parents of Samuel Rutherford, but that "He is be- 
 lieved to have been born in 1600, at or near the farm of Msbit, in 
 the parish of Crailing. He probably belonged to the family of 
 Thomas Rutherford, who was proprietor of Nisbet in 1580." Cer- 
 tain it is, however, that "Rev. Samuel Rutherford was a gentleman 
 by extraction and used the arms of the Rutherford family." — Na- 
 tional Biographical Dictionary. 
 
 In his sketch of the life of Rutherford, Rev. Andrew Bonar, D. D., 
 says : "There are some new letters in this collection ; and there is a 
 facsimile of an unpublished letter directed to the Provost of Edin- 
 burg, at the time when there was an attempt made to call Rutherford 
 to that city. The letter, which is preserved in the Records of the 
 
xxiv 
 
 PREFACE. 
 
 Edinburg Town Council, entreats them to drop the matter. It is 
 written in a very small hand, as was usual with him, and the seal on 
 it has the armorial bearing of the Rutherford family." 
 
 Upon applying to the Provost of Scotland for a description of this 
 seal, I received the following disappointing information from Henry 
 Paton, M. A., Searcher of Eecords at Edinburg, to whom my letter 
 was handed : He says, "The letter to which reference is made is in 
 the possession of the Town Council of this city, and I regret to say 
 that the seal is now almost entirely gone, there being only a small 
 piece left to show there was one. It had been originally used to close 
 the letter and was broken in the opening, and since then I expect, 
 more and more in later handling, but it is impossible to say what 
 arms have been upon it. I can only again express my regret at the 
 destruction of the seal on this letter." He also writes in regard to 
 the family of Rev. Samuel Rutherford : "I have examined not only 
 many registers, but also original papers relating to Roxburgshire and 
 elsewhere, but nowhere can I find any information on the point, and 
 it seems to have baffled others also." 
 
 Henry Howe, in his History of Virginia, speaks of some of the 
 family as lineal descendants of Rev. Samuel Rutherford. Of his 
 eight or more children, all died except the daughter, Agnes, while 
 he yet lived, and many have supposed that these children all died 
 young, but this may not be the case. One of his sons may have been 
 the John who married Isabella Alleine. This to me seems the most 
 reasonable solution of this vexed question. In several instances dif- 
 ferent members of our family are. mentioned as direct descendants 
 of Rev. Samuel. Rev. Samuel R. Houston is mentioned in a manu- 
 script left by his father as being seventh in descent from this Rev. 
 Samuel, for whom he was named. This would make John, our an- 
 cestor, the son of Rev. Samuel, as I have suggested he might have 
 been. 
 
 There were several branches of this Rutherford family with some 
 fourteen different armorial bearings, variations however of the one 
 here given, which was adopted by the family as early as 1260, when 
 Sir Mchol de Ruthifurd joined Sir William Wallace with a well- 
 armed company of sixty warriors, Sir Nicol being related it is said 
 to the wife of Wallace, probably through the Halidays. Robert 
 Rutherforde of Chatto, the head of the Hunthill branch of this fam-

 ily. was the eighth in descent from Sir Nicol. It is to this branch 
 that Rev. Samuel belonged. See "Supplementary Notes to Ruther- 
 furds of That Ilk," by James H. Rutherfurd. Robert of Chatto was 
 succeeded by his son J" ohn, whose youngest son Andrew was Dean of 
 Jedburg, and his son John was Professor in the College of Sarbonne. 
 France, but died Rector of St. Andrews, his son John was minister 
 of Manisty and Dean of St. Andrews. It would seem that inasmuch 
 as Rev. Samuel was a minister at St. Andrews where he died and was 
 buried, this is the line through which we might trace !his ances- 
 try, were the facts known to us; then his near relative, John, the 
 father of Katherine, was also a minister. Of course these are only 
 suppositions, and as such I give them, hoping the matter may some 
 time be settled to our entire satisfaction. In contemplating the 
 events of the seventeenth century, during which time the church, 
 represented by a little band of earnest, devout Christians, was bat- 
 tling against the state, which numbered among her champions many 
 of the great ones of the earth, thankful am I that so many of our 
 kindred were found among that little company of Non-conformists, 
 and that three of them, Rev. Richard Alleine, Rev. Joseph Alleine 
 and Rev. Samuel Rutherford, were recognized leaders in the move- 
 ment. Of the latter and others of his type, Milton, in his lines "On 
 the New Forces of Conscience under the Long Parliament," says : 
 
 "Men, whose life, learning, faith and pure intent 
 Would have been held in high esteem with Paul, 
 Must now be named and printed heretics, 
 By shallow Edwards and Scotch what d' ye call; 
 But we do hope to find out all your tricks, 
 Your plots and packing worse than those of Trent, 
 
 That so the Parliament 
 May with their wholesome and preventive shears 
 Clip your phylackeries, though balk your ears, 
 
 And succor our just fears ; 
 When they shall read this clearly in your charge, 
 New Presbyter is but Old Priest writ large." 
 
 Dean Stanley, our great modern scholar, honored Rev. Samuel 
 Rutherford by calling him "The True Saint of the Scottish Cove- 
 nant," and it has been said that the story of his life is known wher-

 ever the English language is spoken. Of ancient and honorable de- 
 scent, he inherited the staunch Scotch spirit of upright, steadfast ad- 
 herence to principle, which made him a martyr to the cause of relig- 
 ious liberty. He was born in the year 1600, in the southeastern part 
 of Scotland, near the river Tweed, in the village of Nisbet, Koxburg- 
 shire, and died March 20, 1661. He received his early education at 
 Jedburg, and when he entered the University of Edinburg in 1617, 
 he was regarded as a precocious youth. He graduated in 1621, tak- 
 ing a Master's degree, and two years later was elected to the chair 
 of Logic and Belles-letters in his University. He prepared to preach 
 the gospel, however, and it was under the most favorable circum- 
 stances that he was settled as minister in the parish of Anwoth in 
 Kirkcudbright. He was at that time considered the most prominent 
 preacher on those Scottish coasts. "The ancient Kirk in which this 
 ardent young herald of the Cross delivered his savory discourses has 
 become an antique relic; its rusty key hangs in the new College of 
 Edinburg, and its old oaken pulpit is still preserved." 
 
 The church stood in a wide valley at the foot of Boreland Hill, on 
 which a monument sixty feet high was erected to the memory of 
 Eutherford in 1842, and seems to remind the people of Anwoth how 
 God once visited His people there. 
 
 While at Anwoth he passed through much sorrow. In 1630 his 
 first wife, Euphemia Hamilton, died there, and soon after he lost his 
 dearest friend, Lord Kenmure. In 1640 he married Jean McMath, 
 and she, with their daughter Agnes, were the only members of his 
 immediate family who survived him. His mother lived with him 
 for six years after the death of his first wife, and his second wife, 
 J ean McMath, is said by a competent witness to have been "a woman 
 of such worth, that I never knew any among men exceed him, nor 
 among women exceed her." He had nine children, and his letters ex- 
 tend from three years after the birth of the eldest, to six years after 
 the birth of the youngest. — From Studies in Scottish History, by 
 A. Taylor Tunes'. 
 
 In 1636 he published a theological address against Arminianism 
 which attracted a great deal of attention. He was tried at Wigton, 
 and summoned before the commission at Edinburg in July, 1636. 
 He was forbidden to exercise his ministry and was ordered to reside

 in Aberdeen to await the King's pleasure. He gloried in his trials, 
 but it was a great privation for him not to be allowed to preach. 
 After remaining in exile many months, he took advantage of the 
 covenanting resolutions and returned to Anwoth, where he was ap- 
 pointed Professor of Divinity at St. Mary's College, St. Andrews. 
 
 His work on Arminianism added to the unsettled condition of 
 Ecclesiastical interests in Scotland. King James VI of Scotland, 
 afterwards James I of England, being greatly in favor of the Epis- 
 copal form of worship, did not recognize the Act of Parliament re- 
 storing the liberty of the Presbyterians. 
 
 In order to more definitely depict the situation upon which 
 Rutherford exerted a powerful and self-sacrificing influence, we 
 quote the following extracts from Hay's Chapter on European Pres- 
 byterianism : 
 
 "Presbyterianism came to be quite powerfully organized in the 
 vicinity of London even in Elizabeth's day, but it was rather a church 
 inside of the state church. Elizabeth closed her reign with an effort 
 to settle America, and Virginia takes its name from the "Virgin 
 Queen." She was vigorous, skillful, moderately unscrupulous, and 
 her court was at the last a center of flatter} 7- , monopoly and bad 
 morals. 
 
 When she died, James VI of Scotland, ascended the throne as 
 James I of England. His mother, Mary, Queen of Scots, had been 
 thwarted by the Presb} T terians of Scotland, and James himself had 
 been in perpetual conflict with them. He was scholarly and skill- 
 ful, but profane and drunken withal. The High Church pretensions 
 and flattery completely carried the clay with his egotism. When he 
 was seated on the throne, not only was drunkenness common among 
 men, but among women also. 
 
 Throughout the reign of J ames I, while resisting popery he sought 
 only to make himself the Pope of the Episcopal Church in England, 
 and that Episcopal Church the only Church in the three kingdoms." 
 
 The one concession he made to the Puritans was to consent to a 
 new translation of the Bible, which gave us King James' version. 
 
 What a contrast between the condition of the Court life, and the 
 life of Rutherford, the pure and saintly disciple of the Saviour, who 
 spent his life and energies in the cause of holiness and truth. 
 
 He was a man of thorough education and highest literary attain-

 ment and when called upon to deliver a sermon before King James 
 and his Court he gave the entire address in Latin. 
 
 a 0n a charge of non-conformity brought against him by the Bis- 
 hop of Galloway, he was, by order of the King, held a prisoner in 
 Aberdeen from September, 1636, to February, 1638, nearly two 
 years. He spoke of his residence there as the Palace of his King." 
 
 He was forbidden to preach, and being denied the privilege of 
 serving his beloved Master in any public way, he went about among 
 the people praying and exhorting in private families until his influ- 
 ence became so great that the prominent men of the city were alarm- 
 ed and asked that he be banished from the country. In 1638, before 
 his banishment could be accomplished, a revolution overthrew the 
 authority of the bishop, and without waiting for permission from the 
 King, he escaped from Aberdeen and returned to Anwoth. During 
 the same year he was present at the signing of the Covenant of Edin- 
 burgh. 
 
 His stay at Anwoth was of short duration, as he removed to the 
 picturesque city of St. Andrews in October, 1643, to serve as pastor 
 and professor. 
 
 In 1643 he went to London as one of eight commissioners from the 
 Church of Scotland to the Westminster Assembly. The grave con- 
 siderations of that august body were prolonged several years. The 
 first meeting was held Saturday, July 1, 1643, the last February 22, 
 1649. Dr. Hays says that "Immediately on the dissolution of the 
 Westminster Assembly the Standards adopted by that body were 
 adopted by the Presbyterian churches in Scotland and Ireland. The 
 Presbyterian system was suppressed almost as soon as set up in Eng- 
 land, but the Westminster Standards have remained in Europe and 
 in America without change in their essential features until the pres- 
 ent time. These Standards consisted of six books, the Confession of 
 Faith, the Larger Catechism, Shorter Catechism, Form of Govern- 
 ment, Directory of Worship and the Book of Discipline. Whatever 
 estimate may be put upon the individual men composing that Assem- 
 bly, no set of documents have had so wide an influence and such an 
 uninterrupted acceptance and adoption as these same six books." 
 
 The same characteristics that made Samuel Eutherford an able 
 member of the important theological bodies of his day, have made 
 descendants of his family staunch defenders of the faith in America

 and pioneers in the establishment of religions work in Colonial days, 
 God-fearing, self-respecting members of the community wherever 
 their lines may have fallen unto them. 
 
 After Eutherford's sojourn in London, and his labors in the As- 
 sembly, he returned to St. Andrews. He was from time to time 
 offered the chair of Divinity both at Harderwijk and Utrecht, but 
 declined the honors. As to his literary labors, they were begun at 
 Anwoth and continued actively during his banishment to Aberdeen. 
 
 In our day of typewriting and other means of hurried communi- 
 cation, the true art of letter writing is almost lost. At best the great 
 letter writers of the world have been few, and among them Euther- 
 ford is most conspicuous. His letters, aside from high literary merit, 
 have within them surpassing elements of inspiration and consecra- 
 tion. Published as they were in a volume they were of so great help 
 and comfort to the people that they became known as "The Peasant's 
 Bible." Cecil is quoted as saying of them : "That book is one of my 
 classics.*' Eev. Theodore L. Cuyler says : "On that same shelf where 
 we lay our "Pilgrim's Progress/ our "Saints' Rest/ our hymn book, 
 and our Bible, we may find a place for the wonderful Letters of Sam- 
 uel Eutherford, the great and godly preacher of Anwoth.'" 
 
 A comprehensive list of his works is given under his name in the 
 Encyclopedia Britannica. His "Lex Hex;' a dispute for the just 
 prerogative of King and people, was given a recognized place among 
 early works on constitutional law and survived the bitter opposition 
 that caused it to be burned by the hangman in Edinburg and London. 
 
 When Charles II came to the throne, Eutherford was summoned to 
 appear in England on a charge of high treason. The message found 
 him ill unto death, and he sent the following reply : "I have another 
 summons from a Superior Judge. I behoove to answer my first sum- 
 mons and ere your day I will be where too few kings or great men 
 ever come.'' He had for thirteen years been rector of the University 
 of Aberdeen, and "when the news reached Parliament that he was 
 dying, some of the sycophants of the profligate Charles proposed to 
 vote that he should not die as rector of the University. Lord Bur- 
 leigh arose and said : Tou cannot vote him out of heaven/ " 
 
 The saintly life of Rutherford terminated in a death that was 
 triumphant in Christian faith and hope. His last words were, 
 "Glory, Glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land/*'

 PREFACE. 
 
 A beautiful hymn of nineteen verses was written on these last 
 words of Kutherford by Mrs. Anna Ross Cousin, three of which 
 follow : 
 
 "The sands of time are sinking, 
 
 The dawn of Heaven breaks ; 
 The summer morn I've sighed for — 
 
 The fair sweet morn awakes ; 
 Dark, dark hath been the midnight, 
 
 But dayspring is at hand, 
 And glory, glory dwelleth 
 
 In Immanuers land. 
 
 I have borne scorn and hatred ; 
 
 I have borne wrong and shame ; 
 Earth's proud ones have reproached me, 
 
 For Christ's thrice blessed name. 
 Where God His seal set fairest, 
 
 They've stamped their foulest brand; 
 But judgment shines like noonday 
 
 In Immanuel's land. 
 
 They've summoned me before them, 
 
 But there I may not come ; 
 My Lord says 'Come up higher,' 
 
 My Lord says 'Welcome Home.' 
 My kingly King, at His white throne, 
 
 My presence doth command, 
 Where glory, glory dwelleth 
 
 In Immanuel's land."

 In a series of letters to the Wyandotte Gazette in 1870, entitled the 
 "Olden Time," Governor William Walker said that his father was 
 captured when only a child, by the Delaware Indians and afterward 
 sold to the Wyandot Indians, in Eockbridge County, Virginia, about 
 1774, or about the period of Dunmore's War. He was a son of Mr. 
 Walker, who was one of the Walker family noted from Pennsylvania 
 to Mississippi for brilliant and influential men. The Pennsylvanian 
 named Walker, who was appointed Governor of Kansas Territory 
 from Mississippi, was a relation of Governor Walker*. 
 
 The child captured in the Valley of Virginia by the Wyandots 
 was brought to the Wyandot Nation where he grew up (see Letter 
 No. 4 "Olden Time" above referred to). His name was William 
 Walker. When he grew up he married Catharine Eankin, daughter

 of James Eankin from Tyrone, Ireland. Eankin was a trader in 
 Detroit where he married a Wyandot girl whose name was Mary 
 Montour, and who belonged to the Big Turtle Clan of the Wyandots. 
 Eankin was well to do and had his children carefully educated. 
 
 I have seen it stated that William Walker, Sr., and his wife were 
 taken captive by the British and held as prisoners on board a British 
 warship. 
 
 The subject of this brief sketch was born in 1765, in or near 
 Greenbrier, some of his relatives say, Rockbridge County, Va. He 
 was captured by a war party of the Delawares in the early part of the 
 summer of 1781, being then eleven years of age. There was in the 
 neighborhood a small stockade or temporary fort, to which the in- 
 habitants fled for safety whenever an alarm was raised. The settlers, 
 at the time this attack was made, were entirely off their guard ; noth- 
 ing calculated to excite their alarm had occurred for a long time, and 
 all, old and young, male and female, were busily engaged in their 
 fields. Young Walker and (I think) his uncle were ploughing corn, 
 the former riding the horse and the other holding the plough. When 
 coming out at the ends of the rows and in the act of turning, they 
 were fired upon from behind the fence wounding the man in both 
 arms. The lad sprang from the horse and both fled towards the fort. 
 He was captured before getting out of the field and the wounded 
 man overtaken and killed within a few yards of the fort. No attack 
 was made on the fort, though there was only a few women and chil- 
 dren in it. The invading party commenced a rapid retreat and after 
 traveling four or five miles halted in a thick wood, from which a 
 reconnoitering party returned to the invaded district. In the after- 
 noon the party returned to the place of rendezvous ladened with 
 plunder and accompanied by another party of Delawares which the 
 prisoner had not seen before, and to their mutual astonishment aunt 
 and nephew met. Mrs. Cowen was captured in another part of the 
 neighborhood by this second party. This was a distinct party, 
 though they moved and traveled together. These two were the only 
 prisoners they took. (No account is given of the ransom and return 
 of Mrs. Cowen, although from what he says she was undoubtedly 
 ransomed and returned.) 
 
 Then commenced the return march which was attended with much 
 fatigue and suffering, and to add to their distress, notwithstanding 
 the country abounded with game, yet the warriors were singularly 
 unfortunate in their bye hunts. They traveled several days on a very

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 small allowance of dried meat, still urging their way as fast as they 
 could consistently with the power of endurance of the prisoners — 
 still fearing a pursuit and rescue. To their great joy the warriors 
 killed a fat buffalo just as they were camping. 
 
 During their march to the Ohio Eiver he availed himself of the 
 opportunity of breaking to his aunt his intended attempt at an es- 
 cape; but she promptly interposed her objections to so rash an act 
 which could not be otherwise than a failure, and which would, in all 
 probability, bring upon them fatal consequences; pointing out to 
 him the impossibility of successfully eluding pursuit and recapture 
 and the certainty of his perishing from hunger even if he eluded 
 capture. Crossing the Ohio, all hope of a rescue died within them. 
 They ejaculated a long farewell to home, family and dear friends; 
 their hearts sickened and sank within them ; but their cup of anguish 
 was not yet full, for here the two parties separated. The aunt and 
 nephew bade adieu to each other. It was the last sad adieu — they 
 never met again. 
 
 The party having the young captive proceeded direct to the Indian 
 settlement on the Scioto, where, resting a few days, proceeded to their 
 villages on the Whetstone, now Delaware, Ohio, where he underwent 
 the discipline of running the gauntlet; out of which, as he frequent- 
 ly stated, he came with very little bodily injury. He was then adopt- 
 ed into, as he said, "a very good family and treated with kindness." 
 The clan to which he belonged seemed more inclined to the chase and 
 other peaceful pursuits than "following the war path." How long 
 he remained with his adopted relatives I am unable to determine, 
 four or five years at least. His party attending a council at Detroit, 
 the subject under consideration being the treaty concluded at Fort 
 Mcintosh the winter before, these Delawares there met with a large 
 body of Wyandotts, among which was an adopted white man named 
 Adam Brown, who had been captured in Dunmore's war, when a 
 man grown, in Greenbrier County by the Wyandotts, adopted and 
 was married, was influential and respected by the tribe. The youth, 
 attracted his attention, and a conversation in English ensued, the 
 latter not having entirely forgotten his native language. Brown, 
 finding out where he was from and knowing his family, determined 
 upon ransoming him. Negotiations for this purpose were opened, 
 but here an almost insurmountable obstacle presented itself. It was 
 contrary to Indian customs and usages to sell an adopted person, on 
 account of the reputed ties of relationship. This with the unwilling-

 ness of the family into which he was adopted to part with him, ren- 
 dered the project a hopeless one. The influence of the Wyandott 
 Chiefs and that of the Military Commandant were invoked. An 
 official speech to be delivered to the Delawares by Skan-ho-nint (one 
 bark canoe), was agreed upon, which proving unavailing, the at- 
 tempt was to be abandoned as fruitless. The points taken may be 
 thus briefly stated: "We Wyandotts are your uncles and you Dela- 
 wares are our nephews. This, you admit. Where, then, would be 
 the violation of our law and custom if, all parties being agreed, an 
 adopted nephew should choose to reside in the family of his uncle ? 
 This would be only an interchange of those social amenities which 
 are proper among relations : there would be no purchase in the case ; 
 your uncle would be loath indeed to insult his nephews with an offer 
 to purchase their adopted son. Our father, the Commander, who 
 joins with us, promises, as an earnest of his good will towards Ms 
 Delaware children for their compliance with his and your uncles 5 
 "wishes, to make your hearts glad (with rum) and bestow upon you, 
 and especially upon the immediate family of the youth, valuable 
 presents out of the King's store house, such as blankets, cloths, guns, 
 ammunition, &c." (Here the Commandant confirmed the promises.) 
 After the delivery of the speech, time for deliberation was asked for 
 and granted. Whether the argument was deemed conclusive against 
 the objections, or the promised presents acted as a salve to their con- 
 sciences, it is sufficient to state that the Delawares acceded to the 
 proposition, and next day the transfer was duly made. The subject 
 of these negotiations knew but little about the details of these doings 
 beyond the transfer, and being content to remain with his newly 
 formed acquaintances, gave himself but little concern about them. 
 
 I wish this transaction to be placed on record as a part of our sub- 
 ject's history, to correct the false statements made by the descendants 
 of Brown, that he was bought as a slave from the Delawares and that 
 he (Brown) paid a large amount for him; when in truth, he had 
 been adopted into the tribe or clan of Buc,an,ge,he, six years before 
 the transfer. Isot did Brown pay a shilling in the way of ransom. 
 These facts were derived from the Delawares themselves, through 
 Anderson, Hendricks, and other aged chiefs, whom he met at the 
 treaty of Greenville in the summer of 1814, in answer to his enquiries 
 into the particulars of his transfer, and are undoubtedly true. The 
 misstatements of his unworthy descendants should not detract in the 
 least from his good name, as a kind hearted and humane man, as he

 was, in after years, well requited, and that in a substantial form for 
 his kindness to his young friend, by opening the door of the debtor's 
 cell and releasing his benefactor who, through the prodigality of his 
 numerous family had become involved in h large amount. Dismiss- 
 ing this episode, we proceed. 
 
 With Brown he lived till he was twenty-one or two, when he was 
 married to a Miss Catharine Eankin, daughter of James Rankin (a 
 wealthy trader, formerly connected with the Hudson'sBay Company) 
 and a Wyandott woman. Miss Rankin was educated in Pittsburg 
 and returned to Detroit after her father's death. 
 
 He settled near Brownstown (now Gibralter), Wayne County, 
 Mich. Here he acquired, under the existing laws of Congress, nine 
 hundred acres of land, on which he resided till the war of 1812.

 Enclosed I send you my second series of the life of my venerated 
 father, and I think I shall be able to close it next week or the week 
 following. 
 
 I do not know how you may like the plan I have thus far pursued, 
 perhaps too prolix, perhaps too concise. I would like to hear from 
 you on this point tho' it may be too late for me to avail myself of the 
 suggestions. 
 
 I shall state in my next or the one following the ransom and return 
 of Mrs. Cowan to Virginia.

 WILLIAM WALKER-— Continued. 
 
 Having settled at Gros Roche, now Gibr alter, about 1790, turned 
 his attention to the peaceful pursuits of agriculture, and in endeavor- 
 ing to acquire an education under the tuition of his wife, in which 
 he made rapid progress. 
 
 His debut in public life was his efforts in aiding the pacific meas- 
 ures of Commissioners Lincoln, Randolph and Pickering in 1793. 
 Tho' young he had acquired a considerable influence with the Wyan- 
 dotts, Delawares, Muncies, &c, and attended the councils held by the 
 Comrs. with the Indians. Here the wrath of the British Indian 
 Agents was roused against him by his earnest advice to abandon el? 
 hopeless the idea, to which they clung with so much tenacity, of mak- 
 ing the Ohio River the boundary. He also took an active part in 
 bringing about the Wayne treaty of 1795. Having now acquired a 
 thorough knowledge of the Wyandott tongue, and being so far capa- 
 ble as to speak it with fluency, was employed as a Government Inter- 
 preter, and attended all of the councils and treaties held subse- 
 quently up to 1820. By his devotion and fidelity to his country, his 
 integrity and exemplary life (a rara avis on that frontier at that 
 time) he secured the confidence of (the unfortunate) Gov. after- 
 wards, Gen. Hull, Gen. Harrison and Gov. Cass. 
 
 After his entrance into public life, the Government was no longer 
 necessitated to employ such Wyandott interpreters as Simon Girty, 
 Samuel Sanders and others of lesser note; the former could only 
 speak a patois or mixture of Seneca and Wyandott, and whose in- 
 tegrity and veracity might well be questioned where the subject mat- 
 ter under discussion came in conflict with his partizan feeling or in- 
 terest.

 Brownstown and the latter as before stated, as Gros Roche, and the 
 two lived as neighbors upon the most amicable terms. Upon the 
 declaration of war in 1812, the latter was appointed Special Indian 
 Agent, and was instructed to exert his influence with the Indians to 
 observe a strict neutrality in the contest about commencing between 
 the belligerent powers ; that being the policy adopted by the Admin- 
 istration — a most unwise policy, as bitter after experience fully 
 demonstrated, and forced the Government to abandon it, and then 
 "beat up volunteers" among the loyal Indian tribes. The position 
 was arduous and perplexing, and at the same time perilous to him- 
 self and family, living as they did immediately opposite Fort Mai- 
 den, and the town of Amherstburg, the headquarters of the British 
 Army and Indian Departments; and having to oppose the machina- 
 tions of the Elliotts, McKees, Ironsides and Girtys — was the Mor* 
 decai in the King's gate, and in imminent danger of assassination 
 by the hired minions of the former, and was, at length forced to send 
 his family to Brownstown for safety. 
 
 He had but little difficulty in keeping the Michigan Wyandotts 
 from the British standard, as they were true to the American cause, 
 and were eager to engage in the contest. Gen. Hull had promised to 
 protect them ; but that unfortunate officer, as subsequent events prov- 
 ed, was unable to protect himself and army, to say nothing about 
 protecting the inhabitants of Michigan and the Wyandotts whose 
 hands were tied. They (the latter) were left to the tender mercies 
 of the enemy. It was not long before an incident occur'd which 
 gave the British a pretext for invading the Wyandott settlements. 
 Some Batteaux, coming up the lake with supplies for the American 
 Army commanded by Aaron Greeley, landed at Walker's farm, which 
 being discovered from Maiden, two gun boats or row gallies with 
 several canoe loads of Canadian militia and Indians were sent over 
 to capture them. They were defended by the crew, aided by Walker, 
 his son John R, Adam Brown and several Wyandotts, and the enemy 
 repulsed. The next day the enemy, with a large force in row gallies, 
 batteaux and canoes, came over and captured the prize. That night 
 the village was surrounded by Indians and militia, and the Wyan- 
 dotts pronounced prisoners of war. They did not resist; indeed re- 
 sistance would have brought certain destruction upon them and their 
 families. Walker, his two elder sons, John E. Isaac, and Thomas 
 Eankin, his brother-in-law, succeeded under the cover of darkness 
 to pass the lines and reached headquarters, Detroit, at daylight, and

 reported to Gen. Hull ; leaving his family, wife and five children to 
 the care and protection of their Wyandott relatives. Elliott, McKee, 
 & Co., finding their supposed prize had eluded their grasp, satiated 
 their revenge by destroying his dwellings, barns, stables, outhouses, 
 and destroying and carrying off the remainder of his property. The 
 next day the prisoners were taken across the channel and placed up- 
 on an island known as Bois Blanc. This took place about five weeks 
 previous to Hull's surrender. After the surrender, Mrs. Walker ap- 
 plied for and obtained permission from General Proctor to remove 
 with her family to Detroit and rejoin her husband and son, the eldest 
 having been wounded (supposed to be mortally) in Col. Miller's bat- 
 tle near Brownstown some time before. But this reunion of the fam- 
 ily was of short duration. The officers of the Indian Department 
 had their victim now in their clutches. He was arrested in the 
 streets by a file of soldiers, taken to the Pert, and confined in the 
 dungeon. The officers of the army were either ignorant, or pretended 
 to be, of the immediate cause of his arrest, so contrary to the Articles 
 of Capitulation. The former was the most probable. 
 
 It may be proper in this place to remark that during the Indian 
 wars after the peace of 1783, which were carried on at the instiga- 
 tion and connivance of the British Government, and the late war, 
 one peculiarity in their policy was observable, differing from that 
 pursued by our Government, the military was really subordinate 
 to the Indian Department, regardless of the grade of the Military 
 Commandant, to the annoyance and mortification of the better class 
 of officers of the regular army who detested such renegades as Elliott, 
 McKee, Girty, Stockwell, Colwell, &c. 
 
 J ohn E. Walker, the eldest son, had so far recovered of his wounds 
 as to be able to go on board of a transport with other prisoners to be 
 sent below to be exchanged. The fate of the immured prisoner, Will- 
 iam Walker, Sr., was a matter of conjecture ; nothing definite could 
 be learned. At length it leaked out thro' the garrulity of one of the 
 Indian Department, while in his cups, that it was determined that 
 the prisoner should be sent back to Quebec and kept in close confine- 
 ment till the close of the war, be its duration long or short. This 
 information, Mrs. Walker managed to have conveyed to him thro' 
 one of the soldiers belonging to the guard. This alarming intelli- 
 gence roused the prisoner to more active reflections that he had hith- 
 erto indulged in. The idea of being held in durance vile for an un- 
 told and an unascertained length of time, in a distant province, leav-

 ing a family destitute of the means of support, except their good 
 credit, perhaps denied the means of communicating with them, and 
 perhaps never to see them again, filled his cup of torture to the brim. 
 The chief subject now occupying his lonely ruminations was the 
 probable chances of escape. No time was to be lost ; it was now the 
 latter part of October, and the weather was getting cold. He so far 
 succeeded in enlisting the sympathies of the generous soldiers com- 
 posing his guard, that they would release him from the dungeon of 
 evenings and permit him to set by the fire in the guard room till 
 "tattoo beat." On one of these occasions, being a beautiful moon- 
 light night, he resolved on making the desperate attempt. He had 
 calculated closely on the chances of success or failure. It was im- 
 possible to pass the gate facing the city without discovery, resolved 
 upon a rapid dash past the three sentinels, one at the guard house 
 door, and the two on the ramparts, and scaling the two rows of 
 pickets, if not killed in the attempt. Accordingly, while the 
 soldiers were regaling themselves over a bucket of cider which had 
 just been brought in, he slipped out unperceived, ran round the 
 guard house, mounted the ramparts, just as the two sentinels were 
 walking from each other, rushed between them, and with, it might 
 be said, superhuman exertion scaled the two rows of pickets before 
 he was hailed, and strange as it may appear, was not fired upon while 
 scrambling out of the moat. He had three-fourths of a mile to run 
 before reaching the woods, which he did in safety. The family was 
 apprised that night of his escape, by the arrival of a file of soldiers 
 who searched the house for the fugitive. 
 
 He was now out of prison, and the next consideration was to es- 
 cape recapture by making his way to the American army ; the near- 
 est point being Fort Defiance, a distance of upwards of a hundred 
 miles, where Gen. Winchester was preparing to winter his troops. 
 No one knew better than he, the geography and topography of the 
 country — the swamps, impenetrable thickets, brush tangled ponds, 
 where he could secrete himself, and still be not over three or four 
 miles from the city. At a late hour on the following night he visited 
 the house of an old tried friend, Hon. Jacob Nisgar, and requested 
 him to find means to communicate to his family his place of con- 
 cealment, what he wanted in the way of an outfit — such as a horse 
 equipped, gun, ammunition and provisions, with directions to send 
 them by his faithful man Baldwin. The message was delivered and 
 the supplies furnished without exciting suspicion. 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 The officers of the Indian Department were roused with intense 
 excitement, were indignant, and denounced, in no moderate terms, 
 the military for suffering the prisoner to escape. This roused the 
 blood of John Bull, in the person of Major Chambers, commanding 
 officer of the Fort, who, in an altercation with Elliott returned "a 
 Eowland for an Oliver.'" All was bustle and excitement. Some 
 swore Walker was a second Baron Trenck. A large reward was offer- 
 ed for his recapture, dead or alive. Numerous parties of Indians 
 with some renegades, more savage and debased than the former, sal- 
 lied out to scour the woods and secure the prize. The Wyandotts be- 
 ing indifferent, declined joining in the chase. 
 
 During his flight he was so fortunate as to escape falling in with 
 any of the pursuing parties. Once, however, while resting his horse 
 and eating his frugal lunch two Potawottomies came upon him — one 
 a middle aged man, the other a youth aged some eighteen or nineteen 
 years, whom fortunately he did not recognize, nor they him, and is 
 supposed were ignorant of what had transpired at headquarters. 
 The fugitive assumed an air of careless indifference and frigid im- 
 perturbability. To accost them in Wyandott, Delaware or English, 
 would, as he reasoned, reveal his identity; he, therefore, addressed 
 them in Shawnee, asking them if they were on the way to fight the 
 "Big Knives" on the Maumee Biver? The elder answered, "No, 
 they were on their return to Maiden." He then asked them to ac- 
 company him and try to take some prisoners. This they declined, 
 when leaping into his saddle told them to come on, was soon out of 
 sight. He continued his course towards Fort Defiance; his horse 
 failing he turned him out and proceeded on foot. When within a 
 few miles of the Fort, to his great joy, he fell in with a scouting 
 party of the army; but his joy was soon changed into mortification 
 and indignation upon being disarmed and finding himself a prisoner 
 as a "British Spy." His statements and protestations were of no 
 avail, he was a "British Spy;" the gallant party was not to be de- 
 prived of its laurels so dearly won in capturing so dangerous an 
 enemy. Arriving at the Fort, he was taken before Gen. Winchester, 
 to whom he related the particulars of Hull's surrender, his own im- 
 prisonment and escape, but still he was a British spy of the first 
 grade and kept in close confinement. He, at length succeeded in 
 getting a letter to Gen. Harrison, when an order for his release ar- 
 rived, and proceeded to headquarters and reported himself. After 
 his release Gen. Winchester urged him to join him in his campaign.

 He might be excused, under the circumstances, for replying to this 
 proposition in terms so harsh : "What do you want with a 'British 
 Spy V No, sir ; No. I will not connect my fate with such an army/-' 
 On arriving at headquarters Gen. Harrison ordered him on duty 
 among the Ohio Indians. 
 
 But to return to the British headquarters. Failing to recapture 
 the fugitive, his second son, Isaac, was arrested and confined in the 
 same dungeon and there kept till Mrs. Wslker appealed to Eound 
 Head, a gallant and generous Canadian Wyandott Chief, for his in- 
 tervention in behalf of her son. He accordingly called (not upon 
 Elliott & Co.) upon Gen. Proctor, and claiming the prisoner as one 
 of his people, and insisted upon his release and restoration to his 
 family who, in their distressed circumstances, needed his services. 
 He was accordingly discharged. 
 
 THE MONTOXTBS. 
 
 About the year 1667 a French gentleman named Montour settled 
 in Canada. By a Huron Indian woman he had three children, one 
 son and two daughters. The son, Montour, lived with the Indians 
 and was wounded in the French service in 1694. He deserted from 
 the French and lived with "the farr Indians" — the Twightwees 
 (Miamis) and Diondadies (Petuns or Wyandots). By his assist- 
 ance Lord Cornbury prevailed on some of these tribes to trade with 
 the people of Albany in 1708. For his endeavors to alienate the 
 "upper nations" from the French he was killed in 1709 by the troops 
 under Lieut, le Sieur de Joncaire, by orders of the Marquis de Vaud- 
 reuil, Governor of Canada, who wrote that he would have him hang- 
 ed had it been possible to capture him alive. Of the two daughters 
 of the Frenchman, Montour, one became conspiciously known as 
 Madame Montour. She was born in Canada about 1684, captured 
 by some warriors of the Five Nations when ten years old, taken to 
 their country and raised by them. It is probable she lived with the 
 Oneidas, as on arriving at maturity she married Carondawana, or 
 the "Big Tree," otherwise Bobert Hunter, a famous war chief of that 
 nation. He was killed in the wars between the Iroquois and Cataw- 
 bas, in the Carolinas about 1729. Madame Montour first appeared 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 23 
 
 as interpreter at a conference held at Albany in August, 1711, be- 
 tween the sachems of the Five Xations and Eobert Hunter, the royal 
 governor of Xew York from 1709 to 1719. The influence of 
 Madame Montour among the Indians was so great and adverse to 
 the French that the Governor of Canada repeatedly endeavored to 
 persuade her to withdraw from the English and remove to his do- 
 minion, offering great compensation as an inducement, but without 
 success until in 1719. Apprehensive of her doing so to the injury 
 of the province to which she had been so serviceable, the Commission- 
 er of Indian Affairs sent for her to Albany, when it appeared she 
 had received no pay for twelve months. The Commissioner promised 
 that she should receive "a nian's pay from the proper officer of the 
 Four Independent Companies posted in the Province, 7 ' and the busi- 
 ness was thus satisfactorily ended. 
 
 Madame Montour was present at Philadelphia in July, 1727, as 
 interpreter at a conference held by Governor Gordon with several 
 chiefs of the Five Xations. Again in October, 1728, her husband, 
 Carondawana, otherwise Eobert Hunter, was there also. She retain- 
 ed her father's name after marriage, and was usually mentioned as 
 "Mrs. Montour, a French woman, wife to Carondawana, or Eobert 
 Hunter.* 7 Her sister was married to one of the Miamis. Her resi- 
 dence in 1734 was at the village on the Susquehanna, at the mouth 
 of the Loyalsock Creek, on the west side, where Montoursville, Ly- 
 coming County, Pa., now stands. It was known as Otstuago, Ots- 
 on-wacken, or French Town. She was here visited by Conrad TTeiser, 
 Indian agent and interpreter, who he states is a "French woman by 
 birth, of a good family, but now in mode of life a complete Indian. 77 
 In the fall of 1742 Count Zinzendorf, the Bishop and head of the 
 Moravian Church, visited this village. Fie preached there in French 
 to large gatherings. Madame Montour was deeply affected when she 
 saw Zinzendorf and learned the object of his visit. She had entirely 
 forgotten the truths of the gospel, and in common with the French 
 Indians, believed the story originated with the Jesuits, that the 
 Savior's birthplace was France, and His crucifiers Englishmen. In 
 June and July, 1744, the great treaty between the Six ISTations and 
 the provinces of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia was held at 
 Lancaster. Madame Montour was present with her two daughters. 
 Witham Marshe, Secretary of the Maryland Commissioners, relates 
 in his journal that he visited her cabin and obtained the particulars 
 of her life. She told him that she had several children by the famous

 war captain. He described her as genteel, of polite address and had 
 been handsome. Her two sons-in-law and only son were away to war 
 with the Catawbas. Moravian missionaries on their way to Onon- 
 dago, stopped at Shamokin (now Sunbury) on the Susquehanna. 
 They visited Madame Montour who was living on the island with one 
 of her daughters. She had left Oztenwacken permanently. There 
 is no further account of Madame Montour. It seems that she was 
 not living in 1754. Of her children but three can be identified, one 
 of the two daughters who was with her at the treaty of Lancaster in 
 1744, and two sons, Andrew, alias Henry, and Louis. Her daughter, 
 known as "French Margaret," was wife to Keterioncha, alias Peter 
 Quebec, and lived near Shamokin in 1733. Another of her daugh- 
 ters was a convert of the Moravian Mission at New Salem, Ohio, 
 April 14, 1791. She was a living poly got of the tongues of the west, 
 speaking English, French and six Indian languages. 
 
 Madame Montour could not have been less than sixty years old at 
 the time of the treaty of Lancaster in 1744, and was probably older, 
 and if but ten years of age when captured, as she said, the year of her 
 captivity was 1694 and her birth 1684. Of the many errors respect- 
 ing this noted woman, the most prominent are, first, that she was a 
 daughter of a former governor of Canada. Second, that she was liv- 
 ing at the time of the American Eevolution, and also confounding 
 her with her granddaughter, Catherine of Catherine's Town, near 
 the head of Seneca Lake, New York, destroyed by the army under 
 General Sullivan in 1779. She is not mentioned in any work of 
 original authority as Catherine, but invariably as Mrs. or "Madame 
 Montour." Highly colored accounts have been given respecting her 
 relations with the ladies of Philadelphia, who evidently, owing to 
 her intelligence and previous history, treated her with considerate 
 kindness. From the authorities of the provinces she received such 
 presents and compensation for services as were usually given to 
 prominent Indian visitors. Those who knew her best, related that 
 she was habited and lived like the Indians. Her French blood doubt- 
 less imparted a vivacity of manner to her, the like of which is ob- 
 served at this day among the people of mixed French and Indian an- 
 cestry in Canada and along our northern frontier.

 Dear Henry: 
 
 On the evening of the 6th I wrote you a short letter immediately 
 after our adjournment, in the morning, intending to take it to the 
 postoffice, it had mysteriously disappeared. Possibly a rat or mouse 
 might have carried it off as building material for his winters quar- 
 ters. Tin's proved to be an unusually short session, though there was 
 considerable amount of business disposed of in that short time. The 
 Committees worked late and early. 
 
 After the receipt of the President's message and other dispatches 
 from Washington there appeared to be a determination among the 
 leading members, and our Committee fell into the same current, that 
 is, of not acting on or adopting an organic law, or constitution this 
 session, but await the action of this new Congress. In conformity 
 with this view our Committee on International Affairs reported 
 resolutions accordingly, and recommended the appointment of an 
 able delegation to be composed of members of that body to visit vv ash- 
 ington and watch the action of Congress and report from time to 
 time, and act as sentinels ready to raise the alarm. 
 
 There is a determined resolution manifested to resist any attempt 
 to force a government by Congress upon them — deeming themselves 
 amply capable of instituting their own government. 
 
 I reached Okmulgee on Sunday night, just as I desired; met my 
 colleague and our Hackman Robinson waiting for us at Muscogee 
 on the E. E. as agreed upon last spring. Everything worked like a 
 charm. Monday morning upon looking round found an unusually 
 large number of delegates on the ground. At ten o'clock no Hoag, 
 our presiding officer : no Grayson, our sec'y ; but we assembled, elect- 
 ed a president and sec'y and proceeded to business, and worked for 
 two days before the arrival of our officers. 
 
 On Saturday the 6th at one o'clock we adjourned to meet on the 
 first Monday in May, '74. 
 
 The Council was composed of a heterogenous mass of humanity. 
 Prom the polished well educated gentleman, down through various 
 gradations to the red blanket buckskin painted native Indian, stalk-

 if it is possible, to get back about the time Santa Glaus is fixing up

 1 Adieu to the grave where my father now rests, 
 For I must be going afar to the West ; 
 
 Fve sold my possessions, my heart fills with woe 
 To think I must leave all ; alas, must I go ?

 In childhood I sported, in innocence played — 
 My dog and my hatchet, my arrows and bow 
 
 Are still in remembrance ; alas, must I go ? 
 
 3 Adieu, ye loved scenes which bind me like chains, 
 Where, on my grey pony, I pranced o'er the plains ; 
 The deer and the turkey I tracked in the snow, 
 But now I must leave all ; alas, must I go ? 
 
 4 Sandusky, Tyomochte, with broken sword and streams, 
 No more shall I see you except in my dreams ; 
 
 Adieu to the marshes where the cranberries grow — 
 O'er the great Mississippi — alas, must I go ? 
 
 5 Adieu to the road which for many a year 
 
 I travelled each Sabbath, the Gospel to hear ; 
 The news was so pleasant, so joyful to know — 
 From hence where I heard it, it grieves me to go.

 LETTEE Yo. E BY GOT. WILLIAM WALKEE. 
 
 Taken from The Wyandotte Gazette.] 
 
 In these sketches I do not draw much from the current histories of 
 the day. but give as far as I can the Indian version — the statements 
 of the actors themselves in the stirring times of the last century, as 
 far as can be obtained. In consulting history it is chiefly for the 
 purpose of getting at dates, in order to place the events I am trifly 
 narrating in chronological order. My means of acquiring informa- 
 tion on these topics in early life were ample. I was old enough to 
 hear, understand, to be interested in, and treasure up the narratives 
 of the old men who survived their cotemporaries, and who acted con- 
 spicuous parts in that exciting period. My father was an officer of 
 the Indian Department from 1805 up to 1822. To show the advan- 
 tages I had. you and your readers must bear the infliction of a short- 
 episode, risking the imputation of egotism. He was captured in 
 Western Virginia, in what is now known as Rockbridge County, 
 about the time of Dunmore's war. by the Delaware?, when about 
 twelve years old. He was brought to the towns on the Muskingum ; 
 from thence taken to a village on the Whetstone River, now known as 
 
28 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 the flourishing town of Delaware, where he underwent the customary 
 order of running the gauntlet; after which he received the rite of 
 adoption, according to their custom. He acquired their language 
 and spoke it correctly and fluently. 
 
 My mother was the daughter of an Irish gentleman who had been 
 connected with the Hudson Bay Company, and was engaged in the 
 Indian trade in Detroit, where he married a Wyandotte woman of 
 the royal house of Towara. They were married by a French Catho- 
 lic priest. A Protestant clergyman at that period was a vara avis in 
 that region. At a suitable age my mother was sent to Pittsburg to be 
 educated. Some three or four years thereafter her father died, when 
 she returned to her people in Michigan and western Canada. Some- 
 time, perhaps a year after her return, she end my father were mar- 
 ried. Finding her husband so illiterate, for he had lost what little 
 knowledge he previously had of letters, turned her attention to his 
 education, in which she succeeded to admiration. She was an ac- 
 complished woman for the times. Besides English and Wyandotte, 
 she spoke French with ease and grace, Shawnee, Ottawa, Chippewa 
 and Pottawatomie. 
 
 And now, whatever supercilious, mutton-headed, aristocratic peo- 
 ple may sneeringly say of my descent, I here affirm that in my veins 
 and those of my family courses as pure blood as ever ran through 
 mortal man since Adam's fall. So much for my means of informa- 
 tion. But to the treaty : 
 
 The negotiation was protracted and tedious. The three opposition 
 tribes raised objections to immediate action on account of the ab- 
 sence of the Miamis and Shawnees, when there was not the remotest 
 possibility of their attending. The Iroquois, notwithstanding that 
 they had no further official business, still remained watching the 
 progress of the negotiation with the other party. Joseph Brant, the 
 celebrated Mohawk warrior, being one of the Iroquois delegates, prch 
 fessing to be warmly in favor of a general restoration of peace, with 
 characteristic duplicity and true to his instincts, now secretly played 
 the part of a British emissary. In their separate councils Brant 
 worked insidiously to embarrass the negotiation by impracticable 
 propositions and suggestions, urging upon them to make the Ohio 
 Eiver boundary their ultimatum. His officious interference had but 
 little weight, as his object was too transparent to deceive. The young 
 chief, Walk-in-the-Water, informed his friend Gen. Butler of Brant's 
 machinations, and the General in turn informed the Governor. On 
 
JOHX WALKER.

 the reassembling of the general council, Brant being present, the 
 Governor availed himself of the opportunity of administering a suit- 
 able rebuke to the crafty Mohawk. I regret that I cannot give the 
 Governor's castigation, though I heard it once recited. One portion 
 I do remember. 
 
 "A brave warrior I can admire though opposed to me in war, be- 
 cause he is supposed to be a high-minded and honorable man ; but a 
 warrior who can head, and carry on a barbarous war with the New 
 Testament in one hand and the scalping knife in the other, I look 
 upon with utter contempt." 
 
 This was most galling to the pride of the haughty Mohawk. In 
 my first number I stated that Port Harman was the place designated 
 for holding the treaty. In this I was in error. Duncan's Falls was 
 the place designated. At this place, previous to Dunmore's war, 
 there were large settlements of Delawares, Shawnees and some Wy- 
 andotts. Here provisions, goods and other supplies were stored 
 under a strong guard of soldiers. Meantime- a roving band of vaga- 
 bond Chippewas which had been lurking about the neighborhood, 
 tempted by a prospect of booty, made a night attack upon the depot. 
 The freebooters, however, were repulsed, but with what loss was un- 
 known from the extreme darkness of the night. This attack upon 
 the depot determined the Governor to change the treaty ground to 
 Fort Harman for greater security. 
 
 As previously stated, there were dissensions among the confeder- 
 ates in their separate councils. Disputes arose frequently, often 
 marked with considerable heat and effervescence. On one occasion, 
 Wau-ba-gin-qua, a Chippewa chief, somewhat wanting in good In- 
 dian breeding, though "as mild mannered man as ever scuttled ship 
 or cut a throat," in the course of his remarks had the boldness to 
 hint in terms not to be misunderstood, that the advocates of peace 
 measures were influenced by fear and imbecility. This brought 
 Round-Head, a Wyandott war chief, to his feet, who is reported to 
 have replied substantially as follows : 
 
 "My brother Wau-ba-gin-qua is wrong in what he says. It is not 
 fear that prompts us to advocate a treaty of peace and a settlement 
 of the matters in dispute between us and the Big Knives. This my 
 brother Chippewa well knows too. We and our nephews, the Dela- 
 wares, know how to fight and gain victories over our enemies. When 
 pressing the enemy back we don't lean our guns against trees, turn 
 to plundering and stripping the dead as my brother and his warriors 
 
30 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 do on the battle field. We war not for plunder, but for a higher and 
 nobler purpose. And now I say to my brother Chippewa, if he un- 
 fortunately should succeed in defeating this treaty, and the war re- 
 newed, the next battle we have and my brother is brave enough to be 
 there, I shall watch him, and if I see him retreating or lean his gun 
 against a tree to engage in plundering, I will send a swift messenger 
 (tossing a bullet in his hand) to recall him to his duty." 
 
 The Chippewas at length caved in, followed by the Ottawas and 
 Pottowatomies. The finale was, the treaty was concluded and signed, 
 reaffirming the validity of the Fort Mcintosh treaty. Boundaries 
 were adjusted and defined ; regulations of trade and intercourse with 
 the Indians were agreed upon. Adjourned. In two days time not 
 an Indian was to be seen in the Muskingum valley.

 SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF CATHERINE 
 
 WALKER. 
 
 From Western Christian Advocate, Jan. SI, 15-45.] 
 
 (Clipping preserved in Draper Mss. Collection Frontier 
 Wars, Yol. II.) 
 
 Catherine Walker was born in Sandwich, Upper Canada, June 10, 
 1771. Her father, a native of Ireland, emigrated to this country 
 prior to the Revolution and engaged in the Indian trade near Detroit. 
 Here he became connected by marriage with Yau-a-tua-rant, a 
 daughter of a distinguished Wyandot of the Turtle tribe. He soon 
 afterwards settled in the mercantile business in Sandwich where he 
 remained until about 1781, when he was appointed commissioner on 
 the part of the general government and sent out to settle terms of 
 peace with the different nations scattered along the western frontier. 
 He was very successful in this employment which he continued until 
 his death which occurred at Huntingdon, Pa., in the spring of 1803. 
 While he was thus employed, Catherine, her mother and other mem- 
 bers of the family, removed to Brownstown, an Indian village, near 
 the mouth of the Detroit River, on the American side, at that time 
 the seat of government of the Wyandot nation. Here she was mar- 
 ried to William Walker, a native of Virginia, a man of extraordinary 
 physical and mental endowments. From the time he became con- 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 31 
 
 nected with the Wyandots he studiously sought to promote their well 
 being and happiness, and was much attached to the American gov- 
 ernment. He espoused the American cause and entered the war of 
 1812. He was interpreter for Gen. Hull at Fort Detroit, and was 
 among those brave, but unfortunate spirits, who. owing to the cow- 
 ardice of their commander-in-chief, were surrendered prisoners of 
 war into the hands of their enemies. But fortunately for the Ameri- 
 can cause he escaped from the block house in which he was placed. 
 He immediately started for Chillicothe. where Harrison's main army 
 was then quartered, but was captured on the way and again made a 
 prisoner by Gen. Winchester, an American officer, and confined as a 
 spy until liberated by Gen. Harrison, and ordered to the post of 
 Upper Sandusky. During the protracted absence of her husband, 
 his wife was left with the sole care of a large family which she was 
 obliged to remove from place to place, in order to secure their lives 
 and property. She removed to Sandusky and joined her husband in 
 the month of January, IS 14. Here she was permitted to spend the 
 remainder of her days in peace, where she was surrounded by almost 
 everything that wealth and personal influence could obtain, yet she 
 was unhappy. To use her own words. "I saw the insufficiency of our 
 religion. It was not calculated to make us happy in life, and I begun 
 to fear it would do us no good in eternity/' She therefore attended 
 a campmeeting where she became convinced that the religion of the 
 Bible was true, and ere the meeting closed, through faith in Jesus 
 Christ she was enabled to go on her way rejoicing. In the following 
 year she became connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of 
 which she continued a most worthy and exemplary member until 
 removed from the Church militant to join the Church triumphant. 
 She passed away at the residence of her daughter. Mrs. Garrett, on 
 the evening of December 6, 18 — . Her remains were laid in the 
 Walker burying place on the west bank of the Sandusky River, and 
 a few rods south of the old town of Hpper Sandusky.

 THE STI7AETS. 
 
 From "Annals of Augusta Co., Va." by Joseph WaddelJ] 
 
 Three early settlers named Stuart — Archibald. David and John, 
 believed to have been brothers, came from Ireland, and of these and 
 their descendants we have the following information : 
 
 Archibald Stuart (d. 1759). 
 
 Archibald Stuart, a native of Ireland, about the year 1725, was 
 obliged to leave England with others on account of promoting an 
 armed insurrection to defend their religious rights. He managed 
 with great difficulty to escape, and leaving his wife and two children,

 An act of amnesty being passed, he sent for his family. They 
 came in 1732, with his wife's brother, John Brown. While in Penn- 
 sylvania Alexander and Benjamin Stuart were born. 
 
 Archibald Stuart removed with his family to Augusta in 1738. 
 His wife was Janet Brown, a sister of Eev. John Brown of Provi-

 155. Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart, Secretary of the Interior 
 under Pres. Fillmore, was b. in Staunton, Va., April 2, 1807. He 
 was the son of a Eevolutionary soldier, Archibald Stuart, who is 
 said to have studied law in the same office with Thos. Jefferson, and 
 afterwards rose to high positions in the councils of the state. Alex- 
 ander Stuart, after having been prepared for a university course, 
 went to William and Mary College for a year, and then attended the 
 University of Virginia, where he took the law course, graduating at 
 the age of twenty-one, and being admitted to practice at the bar in 
 the same year. The young man took great interest in politics, being 
 a strong adherent of Henry Clay. He was in successful practice in 
 Staunton when, in 1836, he was elected a member of the lower house 
 of the Virginia State Legislature, and was continuously re-elected 
 until 1839, when he declined to serve. 
 
 In 1841, Mr. Stuart was elected a member of Congress, and in 
 1844 was a Presidential elector on the Whig ticket, and filled the 
 same position on the Taylor ticket in 1848. 
 
 On July 22, 1850, he assumed the office of secretary of the interior, 
 to which he had been appointed by President Fillmore, and in which 
 he continued until the conclusion of that administration. 
 
 Mr. Stuart was a member of the Convention of 1856 which nomi- 
 nated Millard Fillmore for the Presidency, and from 1857 to 1861 
 was in the Virginia State Senate. He was a strong union man in 
 sentiment at the outbreak of the civil war, and earnestly resisted the 
 secession of his state, while he was one of the first of the southern

 leaders to promote reconciliation and political agreement after the

 But although elected a member of Congress in 1865 3 he was unable 
 to take his seat on account of the "'iron clad"' oath. 
 
 In IS 68 Mr. Stuart was very active in his opposition and resist- 
 ance to the objectionable features of the Reconstruction Act. 
 
 In 1ST 6 he was elected Rector of the University of Virginia, and 
 excepting a period of two years, between '82 and "Si. he continued to 
 fill that position until 1SS6. when he resigned. 
 
 Mr. Stuart was a member of the Board of Trustees of the South- 
 ern Educational Fund, founded by Geo. Peabody. He was also for 
 many years President of the Va. Historical Society.

 the last fifteen years of his life his home was with his dau.. Mrs. B. B. 
 Mayes ; in Yazoo County. Miss., where he d. Feb. 28, 1SS5. 
 
 Before the war he was a stout Whig, opposing repudiation of the 
 state debt, and although a firm believer in States' rights, he resisted 
 secession. Like most Southern Unionists, he became, when the fatal 
 die was cast, a more loyal Confederate than many Secessionists. Al- 
 though differing in politics, he being a Democrat, he was an intimate 
 friend of several governors, especially Pettus. and under five was 
 commander-in-chief of state troops. He was generally known as 
 Colonel Stuart^ but held a state commission as Brigadier- General. 
 His extreme corpulence in middle life unfitted him for active military 
 service, but his zeal for the southern cause was not to be restrained. 
 He gave his three sons to the army and finally went to Shiloh when 
 the rumor of approaching battle went forth. He was unable to keep 
 up with the marching troops and sat on the roadside to rest, while 
 the passing troops cheered him. shouting. "Hurrah for you. old 
 man V 3 But though unable to march he was not to be hindered from 
 fighting and shared in the battle. When Yicksburg was invested he 
 went down voluntarily and took part in the battle. The loss of two 
 gallant sons in the war was a blow from which he never recovered. 
 
 He became an Episcopalian when about sixty and thereafter was 
 deeply religious. He was very studious and was preeminently a 
 philosopher. In person he was majestic, six feet tall, and admirably 
 proportioned. In youth his hair and beard were red. but were snowy 
 white in old age, and his strong featured face, and full white beard 
 made one think of the sturdy Scotch warriors from whom he sprang.

 John Walker 1 ), b. Oct. 8, 1838, in Tenn. He graduated with first 
 honors from the University of Mississippi at Oxford in 1859. Until 
 the outbreak of the war he studied law with such zeal and applica- 
 tion that raised high expectations from the most eminent in the pro- 
 fession. At the beginning of the war he was living with his uncle, 
 Col. Wim. Hardeman, and went North to bring home his two sisters, 
 then attending school at St. Mary's Hall, Burlington, N". J., and 
 saw the military preparations of the North. He said to his sisters, 
 "The South will need all her sons ; I must enlist at once. In May, 
 1861, he left Jackson as a private in the Burt Kifles, of which his 
 brother Oscar was first sergeant. A few days later he was made a 
 member of the signal service on account of his educational qualifica- 
 tions. With others he was instructed in signalling by Col. E. P. 
 Alexander, who organized the first Confederate signal corps. He 
 was made chief signal officer of General Stuart's command and re- 
 ceived his commission as Captain, May 29, 1862. 
 
 At the battle of Groveton (or Second Manassas), Aug. 30, 1862, 
 he was signalling from a mountain top, when his horse was captured 
 by the enemy. He escaped on foot. His commission was in his coat 
 on the horse, and probably his sword. He could not procure another 
 horse so he shouldered a musket as a private and placed himself in 
 the front rank of a passing regiment, the Fifth Texas, and in his 
 shirt sleeves, marched afoot with Longs treet's column to Grovetown. 
 He led in the storming of two batteries, and while charging a third 
 on Grovetown Heights, was instantly killed, and fell within thirty 
 yards of the enemy, "first in the foremost line." The chaplain of the 
 Eleventh Mississippi, a former schoolmate at Oxford, recognized 
 the body, had it buried and marked the best he could. His brother, 
 Oscar, at this time was sick at Lynchburg, and it fell to Edward, the 
 youngest brother, then but fifteen, to represent the family, and sur- 
 prised all by the skill with which he performed his difficult task. 
 Two or three weeks after the battle, the army having returned from 
 
Capt. James H. Stuart.

 Maryland, Edward rode for three days over the battlefield, still hid- 
 eously thick with dead, and with great difficulty found the grave and 
 built over it a pen of rails from a neighboring fence. General Stuart 
 had intended and promised that he would erect a monument over 
 the grave, but as he himself fell in battle, no other monument was 
 ever built. 
 
 James Stuart is highly praised in Count Yon Brockets book on the 
 Confederate Army and is the subject of a chapter in John Esten 
 Cooke's "Wearing the Gray," entitled, "Hardeman Stuart, the 
 Young Signal Officer." He was a sincere and devoted Christian. 
 He was engaged to be married to Louise, eldest daughter of Judge 
 Wm. E. Yerger, the famous lawyer of Jackson. She mourned him 
 for thirty years, and finally took the veil. Judge Yerger wrote of 
 him thus : "He was intelligent, virtuous and brave, the soul of honor 
 and truth, united with a kindness of disposition that endeared him 
 to all with whom he was associated." 
 
 OSCAR EWING Stuart 6 (173) (Oscar 3 , James 4 , Mary 3 , Jane 2 , 
 John Walker 1 ), b. at Meadville, Miss., Aug. 21, 1841. He intended 
 to become a physician and was a student at Oxford when the war be- 
 gan. He was the first of the brothers to enlist, Edward being only 
 fourteen and James being obliged to go north for his sisters. He en- 
 listed in the Burt Rifles and James joined also before they left Jack- 
 son. Oscar was chosen first sergeant when the company was organ- 
 ized. On reaching Virginia the Burt Rifles became Co. K of the 
 Eighteenth Mississippi, the most famous of the four regiments of 
 Barksdale's famous Brigade. By the federals it was called the 
 "Bloody Eighteenth." Company K was the color company. Oscar 
 became its sergeant-major and was afterwards commissioned first 
 lieutenant and adjutant of the regiment. He went through much 
 hardship, hard marching and desperate fighting and participated in 
 nearly all the battles of his command. He was wounded at Lees- 
 burg, Oct. 21, 1861, and went home on a furlough. He there won 
 the heart of Miss Bettie Wharton, the youngest daughter of Judge 
 T. J. Wharton, who yet lives, the oldest of Mississippi's one-time 
 laywers. Oscar was at Lynchburg on sick leave when his brother 
 James was killed at Grovetown, Aug. 30, 1862. On the same day 
 Miss Wharton died in Jackson, leaving a memory of such sweetness 
 as has not yet faded from the minds of those who knew her. "Some- 
 times two mortal blows strike the unhappy in one day." Grief alter- 
 
44 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 ed Oscar's mien, even to the color of his eyes, but it drove him to the 
 only consolation. He became a Christian and joined the Presby- 
 terian Church. 
 
 Oscar shared with his brigade in its famous defense of Fred- 
 ericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862. He shared in Barksdale's immortal de- 
 fense of Mary's Hill, May 3, 1863, less than two thousand men three 
 times repulsing twenty thousand. The Eighteenth lay in line of 
 battle behind the ever famous stone wall, and the ground before it 
 was strewn with Federal dead. When the enemy had been repulsed 
 Oscar asked Berkeley, son of Bishop William M. Green of Miss., 
 whether he would like to hear news from certain common friends. 
 Green answered, "Not now, this is no time for news;" and Oscar 
 said, "Then you will never hear." The heights were finally carried 
 by the overwhelming force and Colonel Griffith saw that the hill was 
 lost and shouted that he surrendered, but as the massacre continued, 
 he bade Oscar wave a handkerchief on the end of his sword and 'shout 
 with his stronger voice. Oscar did so, but the attention of the enemy 
 being thus drawn to his magnificent figure, they rushed upon him. 
 He received three pistol balls fired from within three feet of him, one 
 piercing his brain, one his heart and the third was likewise mortal. 
 He fell back into Griffin's arms and instantly expired. The regi- 
 ment was nearly destroyed, a number of captives being sent to endure 
 the horrors of northern prisons, but overwhelming as was their mis- 
 fortune, the heroism of its resistance was shown by the number of 
 Federal dead, which exceeded that of the entire Confederate force. 
 
 Oscar was twenty-one at the time of his death. He lies in the Con- 
 federate cemetery at Fredericksburg, among the noblest and bravest 
 of the brave sleepers there. 
 
 EDWAKD Stuart 6 (174) (Oscar 5 , James 4 , Mary 3 , Jane 2 , John 
 Walker 1 ), b. at Meadville, Miss., Feb. 17, 1847. On June 17, 1862, 
 when but fifteen years old, he was permitted to depart as a recruit to 
 the Burt Rifles, now Co. K of the 18th Mississippi. He served on 
 General Stuart's signal corps, then commanded by his brother J ames, 
 who was absent. He was instructed in signalling by Capt. Wilburn, 
 commander of Stonewall Jackson's signal corps. He shared with 
 the "Bloody Eighteenth" the last of its twenty-eight battles and was 
 in the rear guard on the retreat from Richmond, and was one of 
 10,000 men captured after desperate fighting, April 6th. Next 
 morning these unhappy prisoners had the grief of seeing thirty odd

 of their captured colors paraded before tliem. For three months 
 Edward was at Point Lookout and suffered cruelest hardships in 
 that infamous prison pen. The veteran of eighteen years returned 
 home altogether unlike the promise of his robust boyhood. In time 
 he recovered^ and became, like Iris brothers, erect in carriage and dis- 
 tinguished in appearance. Wax had left him too poor to seek a col- 
 legiate education, but did not deprive him of his thirst for scientific 
 reading. He removed to Little Bock. Ark., where he married Mrs. 
 Susan A. Baker (nee Omohundra) on May 31. 1881. where he still 
 resides. 
 
 Before the death of General Stuart in 1864. he gave Edward a 
 scarf and watehguard, which are treasured by the family to this day. 
 
 ADELAIDE LEWIS Stuart 6 (175) (Oscar 5 , James 4 , Mary 3 , 
 Jane 2 , John Walker 1 ), b. at Meadville, Miss. ,Oct. 25, 1843. With 
 her sister Annie she attended school at St. Mary's Hall, Burlington, 
 Xew Jersey, where both became Episcopalians. The two sisters 
 came home at the outbreak of the war with their brother James who 
 had gone ISTorth for them. James never returned from the army, 
 but Oscar was twice home on furlough. When he left the second 
 time he made it his parting, and as it were, his dying request, that 
 his father would never permit his sisters to be left within the Federal 
 lines. When, after his death at Mary's Hill, May 3, 1863, Sherman 
 began Ms incendiary march toward Jackson, the two became refu- 
 gees. They went to Lowndes County, Ala., from where Annie went 
 to teach school in Simpson Co., Miss. Adelaide became a clerk in 
 the treasury department, serving first at Columbia, South Carolina, 
 and later at Richmond, where she met her future husband, a confed- 
 erate veteran honorably discharged because of a wound received at 
 Shiloh, then chief clerk of the postal department, who later recorded 
 the minutes of the last meeting of the Confederate cabinet. 
 
 Adelaide saw President Davis receive the fateful telegram from 
 Lee in St. Paul's church and left Richmond that night, riding all 
 the way to Danville with other ladies on top of an ammunition car. 
 
 lien Lee surrendered she was obliged to return to Richmond, and 
 was there at last surrounded by those whom she regarded as her 
 brothers'" murderers and her country's oppressors. It was long be- 
 fore her embittered heart would acknowledge that among them were 
 as true gentlemen as any in the South. On Feb. 7, 1871, she was 
 married to Prof. John Dimitry, son of Prof. Alexander Dimitry, a

 scholar in eighteen languages. John Dimitry is the author of Le 
 Tombean Blane Atahualpa's Curtain, the immortal epitaph on 
 J ohnston, pronounced by the highest English critics one of the great- 
 est classics of English; author also of several similar odes, of two 
 histories of Louisiana, and other literary and historical works. After 
 their marriage Prof. Dimitry lectured at Loequet's Institute in New 
 Orleans, later went to Philadelphia and finally to New York, ad- 
 vancing in journalistic honors. 
 
 In 1875 he became professor in English in the Colegio de Caldas 
 at Bogota, U. S. of Columbia. The climate proving injurious to 
 Mrs. Dimitry's health they returned in 1876 to New Orleans, where 
 they now live, the professor being engaged in literary work. Prof. 
 Dimitry being a cripple of late years from the wound received at 
 Shiloh, his wife has been his searcher of libraries and collector of 
 data. She is also his amanuensis, and of invaluable assistance in 
 every way, her husband depending more on her judgment that that 
 of any other critic. 
 
 ANNIE ELIZABETH Stuart 6 (176) (Oscar 5 , James 4 , Mary 3 ,

 9, 1845. She attended school with her sister at Burlington, New 
 J ersey, where both became Episcopalians. When Sherman advanced 
 on Jackson she became a refugee for eighteen months in Alabama. 
 Erom there she went to Simpson County, Miss., where she taught 
 school the remaining months of the war. She afterwards taught 
 school in Yazoo City, where she met Judge E. B. Mayes, to whom 
 she was married at Summit, Miss., Aug. 15, 1867. Judge Mayes 
 was the author of "These Three," "Sonnets on Bepudiation" and 
 other religious works. He was a lineal descendant of Sir William 
 Locke, an English knight of the time of Henry VIII, and a great- 
 grandson of Eobert Bowmar of Kentucky, called "Honest Kobin," 
 one of Boone's pioneers. He was the son of Judge Daniel Mayes, 
 the eminent jurist and loyal Christian. 
 
 Judge Mayes died in his sixty-fifth year, Nov. 3, 1884. He was 
 a Christian and a man of the highest integrity and honor and lived

 day, when but twelve years old, she followed Christ into the cold 
 waters of the Yazoo Eiver. "When asked if she was not afraid of be- 
 ing swept away by the current she answered, "It would be a good 
 way to die." She was very religious, reading her Bible daily. She 
 sang with a richness and sweetness that thrilled every hearer and

 complete her twentieth year, but in this brief life she exhibited the 
 noblest traits of a noble race. 
 
 On the Sunday evening before her death the Lord's supper was 
 kept in her room. Her glorious voice had been weakened by three 
 months of suffering, but she sang "There is a land of pure delight/' 
 and "There is a home eternal." 
 
 • "Soon shall I join that anthem 
 Far beyond the sky; 
 Jesus became my ransom, 
 Why should I fear to die." 
 
 Twenty-four hours later she joined the anthem. It was her be- 
 loved sunset hour when she passed through glory's western gate "and 
 walked in paradise."

 in business afterwards. After Alexander finished his course of law 
 studies he removed to Campbell Co.; was elected a member of the 
 Executive Council of the State, and removed to Richmond, marrying

 JAMES EWELL BPvOWX Stuart 5 (192) (Archibald 4 , Alex. 3 , 
 Alex. 2 , Archibald 1 ), was b. in Patrick Co., Va., Feb. 6, 1833, the 
 youngest son of Archibald Stuart and Elizabeth Letcher Pannill. 
 On the paternal side, he is a descendant of Archibald Stuart, a na- 
 tive of Londonderry, Ireland, of Scotch Presbyterian antecedents, 
 who in 1726 on account of religious persecutions, left his native 
 country and came to America, first settling in Penn. and later mov- 
 ing to Virginia. 
 
 On the maternal side, he is descended from Giles Letcher, who 
 was also born in Ireland, but came of an old Welsh family. This 
 ancestor emigrated to America prior to the Eevolutionary War, and 
 was married in Richmond, Va., to Hannah Hughes, of Welsh ex- 
 traction. 
 
 In 1847, young Stuart was at school in Wytheville, Va. The fol- 
 lowing year, he entered Emory and Henry College. While a student 
 at this institution, he professed conversion, and became a member of 
 the Methodist Church. Throughout the remainder of his life, he 
 was a consistent Christian. He subsequently joined the Protestant 
 Episcopal Church.

 In 1850 he received an appointment to the West Point Military 
 Academy. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee speaks approvingly of "his soldierly 
 bearing and strict attention to military duties." He graduated in 
 1854, and was commissioned second lieutenant in the first regiment 
 of the TJ. S. Cavalry. In Sept., 1855, his regiment was sent against 
 the hostile Indians, and they were occupied in this expedition until 
 'Noy. 4th, although no battle took place. On Dec. 20, 1855, he was 
 brevettecl a first lieutenant in his regiment. 
 
 On Nov. 4th, 1855, Lieutenant Stuart married Flora Cooke, a 
 daughter of Col. Philip St. George Cooke. They were married at 
 Fort Riley, which post Gen. Cooke commanded. 
 
 In 1859 he invented a sabre attachment. He continued in the 
 service of the United States Army until 1861, when Virginia seceded. 
 He then sent in his resignation, and before hearing of its acceptance, 
 received notice of his promotion as captain. However, he immediate- 
 ly joined the Confederate army, and was commissioned a lieutenant- 
 colonel of the infantry on May 10, 1861. 
 
 He served throughout the Civil War, and was conspicuous in 
 many battles. At Bull Run, he ably supported Jackson's flank. At 
 Danesville, Dec. 20, 1861, he encountered his first serious defeat. 
 At the battle of Seven Pines, he was of material service to Gen. 
 Longstreet. He took active part in the seven day's fight around 
 Richmond, but he is most famous for his celebrated raid on Cham- 
 bersburg. His return march is one of the most remarkable on record. 
 Within twenty-seven hours, he had covered eighty miles, notwith- 
 standing the fact that he was encumbered with his artillery and with 
 the horses he had captured, and had forced a passage of the Potomac 
 in the face of the enemy. He lost only two men, and one was wound- 
 ed. He had destroyed public property and the railroad in Chambers- 
 burg, amounting to $251,000. Thirty U. S. government officials 
 and citizens of prominence were captured, 286 wounded prisoners 
 were paroled, and about twelve hundred horses captured. One of the 
 most important results of the expedition was the demoralizing effect 
 it had on the Federal cavalry. 
 
 He was with. Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. He led Hill's 
 corps against Grant at the passage of the Rapidan, and by a detour 
 interposed Sheridan on his raid on Richmond, and met that cavalry 
 leader at Yellow Tavern. The fortunes of war turned against his 
 forces only after he had himself been mortally wounded, being shot 
 by a fleeing Federal trooper who had been dismounted in the charge.

 Noticing the retreating ranks of his disorganized men, he cried to 
 them as he was carried from the field, "Go back ! Go back ! and do 
 your duty, as I have done mine, and our country will be safe. Go 
 back ! Go back ! I would rather die than be whipped/' These words 
 of soldierly entreaty were the last he uttered on the battlefield.- He 
 died at Eichmond, Va., June 12, 1861.

 James E. B. Stuart was named for Judge James Ewell Brown, 
 an uncle by marriage. Judge Brown was a graduate of "Washington 
 and Lee University in 1806. He graduated as a lawyer, and was 
 Clerk of the Virginia Superior Court, and Judge of the Circuit 
 Court and General Court, Wythe County, Virginia. The late Hon. 
 A. H. H. Stuart, wrote of Judge Brown the following: "Chancellor 
 Brown was a native of Penn., being in his youth a classmate of my 
 wife's brother. Brown was a man of extraordinary ability. He soon 
 rose to eminence as a lawyer, and settled with his wife, Frances Pev- 
 ton, in Hardy Co., Virginia. He was elected Chancellor of the 
 Staunton District Court of Chancery, and removed to Staunton in 
 1809, and continued to reside there until his death in Oct., 1826. 
 He was trustee of the Washington and Lee University from 1807 to 
 1817, and was also General of the Virginia militia."'

 195. Virginia Stuart, m. Page Waller of Xorfolk, Va. She d. 
 
 Sept., 1898. 
 
 196. J. E. B. Stuart, Jr., of Newport Xews, Va. 
 
 Of the third brother, J ohn Stuart, we have the following account : 
 Eev. Eobert Stuart of Kentuckv, in a brief memoir found anions; 
 his papers after his death, states that his parents came from the north 
 of Ireland, and settled on Walker's Creek, on Borden's tract, Mr. 
 Stuart was born in 177 2 and distinctly remembered his grand- 
 mother. He does not mention the name of his grandparents. They 
 brought with them to America, an infant son named John. Another 
 son was born, but died young, and there were no other children. We 
 find from old deeds that John received from Joseph Mays a half 
 acre lot in Staunton; this was in 1757. On Sept. 6, 1762, John 
 Stuart and Sarah, his wife, conveyed one-half of the lot to Thomas 
 Lewis, Andrew Lewis and Wm. Preston. Stuart then lived on the

 other half, as appears from the deed. The part retained was con- 
 veyed in 1764 to Israel Christian. 
 
 In 1765 John Stuart executed to David Stuart a bill of sale for a 
 negro woman and child, and four feather beds. We also find from 
 the same source that John and Eobert Stuart were among the early 
 settlers in "Borden's" tract and that their lands were contiguous. 
 Of Eobert, no other information. He may have been the father of 
 the John Stuart just mentioned and grandfather of the Eev. Eobt. 
 Stuart, but the descendants of the latter think the grandfather's 
 name was J ohn. 
 
 The John Stuart referred to was a brother of Archibald and 
 David. His permanent home was on Walker's Creek, six miles west 
 from Brownsburg. During Indian times his dwelling was fortified 
 to resist attack, and several Lochabar axes and other ancient weapons 
 are still preserved by his descendants. It would seem that feeling 
 insecure on Walker's Creek, he removed to Staunton about 1757 and 
 remained there until 1764, when the Indian wars of that period 
 were over. 
 
 John Stuart, only child of his parents, was born in 1740 and suc- 
 ceeded to the estate of his father (John). He married Elizabeth 
 Walker (daughter of James and granddaughter of John the emi- 
 grant), and lived and died on Walker's Creek. During the Eevolu- 
 tionary War he served as a soldier, and at the battle of Guilford, was 
 an officer. According to a family tradition he visited Ireland in 1786 
 and brought back a considerable sum of money. He died in 1831, 
 when fully ninety years old. He was for many years member of the 
 Timber Eidge Church of Augusta Co., Ya., now Eockbridge Co.

 207. John Todd Stuart was educated at Center College and 
 Transylvania; studied law under Judge Daniel Breck, his uncle by 
 marriage ; moved to Springfield, 111., where he spent the remainder 
 of his days; was elected to the Legislature in 1832, when only 25 
 years old; re-elected in 1834-35. He lent his aid to enlisting the in- 
 terest of the state in the construction of the 111. and Michigan Canal. 
 In reference to Ms association with and influence over Abraham Lin- 
 coln, who was a member of the lower house of the Legislature in 
 1834-36, Judge Goodrich says in his address before the 111. Bar As- 
 sociation: "The part which Stuart took in shaping Lincoln's 
 destiny is not generally known outside of the circle of their immedi- 
 ate friends. They lodged at the same house, and occupied the same 
 bed, during the session of the legislature. Both were Whigs in poli- 
 tics, and trusted friends, and each estimated aright the abilities of 
 the other. Both were honest men with deep convictions, and appreci- 
 ated by their fellow-members. The one was liberally educated and 
 a lawyer ; the other, uneducated, and engaged in the humble occupa- 
 tion of a land surveyor. Stuart saw at once that there must be a 
 change of occupation to give Lincoln a fair start in life, and that the 
 study and practice of the law were necessary to stimulate his ambi- 
 tion and develop his faculties. When the subject was introduced, it 
 appeared that Lincoln had never entertained the idea of becoming 
 a lawyer, and stated difficulties, which he deemed insurmountable. 
 These Stuart overcame, and Lincoln agreed to give the matter 
 thoughtful consideration. The result was that he yielded to Stuart's 
 solicitations, and read law at his country home, some distance from 
 Springfield, under the direction of Stuart, and with books loaned by 
 him for the purpose. On Lincoln's admission to the bar, Stuart 
 formed a partnership with him, which continued, I think, until 
 Stuart went to Congress. Every lawyer, and indeed every thought- 
 ful and intelligent person, can readily see the influence which the 
 choice of the legal profession had on Lincoln's life."

 In 1836 Stuart was defeated by Col. May, Democratic candidate. 
 
 In 1838 he defeated Stephen A. Douglass for a seat in the Na- 
 tional House of Eepresentatives. In 1840 he achieved an easy vic- 
 tory over Judge Ralston, and in 1843 declined to run a third time; 
 was in the State Senate from 1848-1852. He bitterly regretted the 
 strife between North and South, and felt that the difficulty should 
 have been settled at the ballot box. 
 
 He re-entered Congress in 1862 in the hopes of being instrumental 
 in restoring peace between the conflicting parties. 
 
 He held his own always as a lawyer, and as a man was upright and 
 generous always, discharging conscientiously every duty and obliga- 
 tion. He was a Major of battalion in the Black Hawk War, where 
 Abraham Lincoln commanded a company in the same battalion.

 TODD FAMILY. 
 
 What is known of the Todd family is honorable. Of the Cove- 
 nanters captured at Bothwell Bridge, two hundred and fifty were 
 sentenced to be transported to America. Two hundred of these were 
 drowned in a shipwreck off the Orkneys; fifty escaped, and after- 
 wards took part in the defense of Londonderry. Among those 
 drowned were Robert Todd of Fenwick and James Todd of Dunbar. 
 In 1769, the same year in which these two were drowned, John Todd, 
 their brother, fled from the persecutions of Claverhouse in Scotland, 
 and sought refuge in Downs Co., Ireland. In 1720, his son Robert 
 Todd (1697) came with his family from Ireland to Montgomery Co., 
 Penn., where he died in 1775. His first wife, Isabella Parker, died 
 before he left Ireland, but he married Isabella Hamilton in America. 
 Isabella Parker was the mother of Robert Todd. Many families of 
 note in Penn. were related to her. John Todd (son of Robert) grad- 
 uated at Princeton in 1749, located in Louisa Co., Va., and became 
 so distinguished as a Presbyterian minister, scholar and educator, 
 that it has been said that no history of the Presbyterian Church in 
 Virginia could be written without honorable mention of him. The 
 brother of this John Todd, David Todd (g. grandfather of Mrs. Lin- 
 coln) was born April 8, 1732. He was a farmer but sold his farm in

 1738, and the next year removed to Ky. to join his sons, Kobert and 
 Levi Todd. 
 
 John, Robert and Levi Todd were educated in Va. in a school 
 taught by their uncle, Eev. J ohn Todd. The eldest, Col. John Todd, 
 studied law, and was the first civil governor and lieutenant- 
 commander of Illinois. These three brothers were in the Revolution 
 under Gen. Geo. Rogers Clarke. 
 
 Col. John Todd was appointed by Patrick Henry, Dec. 12, 1778, 
 lieutenant-commander of Illinois. He represented Ky. in the Gen. 
 Assembly of Va. in 1778, and his brothers formed a part of the ex- 
 pedition to 111. Co. For three years Col. John Todd held the respon- 
 sible position of lieut.-com. In 1780 he was again chosen a delegate 
 to the Va. legislature. In this year Ky. (county) was divided into 
 three counties, Lincoln, Jefferson and Fayette; and Thos. Jefferson, 
 then Governor of Ya., appointed Col. John Todd col. of Fayette 
 Co., Daniel Boone lieutenant-col., and Thomas Marshall sur- 
 veyor. 
 
 During the summer 1782, an Indian invasion aroused the county, 
 and the militia was summoned to repel it. Col. Todd, as senior Col., 
 took command of the little army sent in pursuit of the retreating 
 savages. This force included Daniel Boone and many other illus- 
 trious Kentuckians. On the 18th of Aug., 1782, they came up with 
 the Indians at Blue Licks, and one of the most disastrous battles to 
 the whites ever fought on Ky. soil followed. Col. John Todd fell at 
 the head of his men, shot through the body. Nearly half of this lit- 
 tle band was killed or wounded. Among the wounded were his 
 brothers, Gen. Levi and Gen. Robert Todd. Gen. Levi Todd, the 
 third brother, was the grandfather of Mrs. Lincoln (and father of 
 Hannah, who married Robert Stuart). 
 
 Gen. Levi Todd was born in Penn., 1756 ; studied law and survey- 
 ing, and was one of the defenders of Harrod's Fort in Ky., and also 
 assisted Gen. Ben Logan to hold St. Asaph's at Stanford, Ky. He 
 was lieutenant in Geo. Rogers Clarke's campaign for the conquest of 
 111. ; was appointed successively Major, Colonel, Brigadier and Maj.- 
 General of the Kentucky forces. He died at Lexington, Ky. His 
 wife was Jean Briggs, a dau. of Capt. Samuel Briggs, who was the 
 brother-in-law of General Ben Logan and one of his fifty picked men. 
 
 Gen. Levi Todd's son Robert was Mrs. Lincoln's father. He was 
 a man of considerable wealth, and was for many years president of 
 a bank at Lexington, Ky.

 Gen. Levi Todd's daughter Hannah married Eobert Stuart, the 
 father of Hon. John Todd Stuart — thus Abraham Lincoln married 
 the own cousin of his friend Hon. J. T. Stuart, the latter with his 
 wife being among the very few friends present at the marriage of 
 Abraham Lincoln and Mar)' Todd. 
 
 Hannah Todd, who married Eobert Stuart of Va., was born at 
 Harrods fort in 1780. She is represented as a woman of unusual 
 strength of character.

 Miss Nettie Stuart of Lexington, Va., writes Nov. 19, 1898 : "I 
 have lived here with my sister, Mrs. S. K. Moore, for five years, and 
 last summer made my first visit to the "Ancestral Home" on Walker's 
 Creek. There are only three of the family of my father's generation 
 now living. John H. has passed his eighty-fifth birthday, and is a 
 hearty old gentleman, quite deaf, but otherwise seems to retain his 
 faculties. I quite enjoyed hearing him tell of the days when my 
 grandfather and his daughters (Aunts Eliza and Margaret) would 
 come to visit them. And the wealthy cousin, James Stuart, from 
 South Carolina would arrive in his coach drawn by four fine horses, 
 etc. His sister, Mary Stuart Brown, lives within half a mile of him. 
 About one-fourth of a mile below them is the old "Homestead," "The 
 Forte." This house viewed from a modern standpoint is very insig- 
 nificant in appearance ; is about one and a half stories high ; the ori- 
 ginal log house, weatherboarded inside and outside. A covered porch 
 runs the length of the front of the house. It has very small windows. 
 
 "They showed me one of the Lochabar axes of Indian times. 'The 
 Forte' is eighteen miles from Lexington, Va." 
 
 John Stuart, who married Elizabeth Walker, and Major Alexander 
 Stuart were cousins. They were both officers in the Eevolution and 
 fought side by side. 
 
 The "Annals" is principally a history of Augusta County, Va., 
 which originally extended from the Blue Eidge to the Mississippi 
 Eiver, and from the Great Lakes on the north to the northern bound- 
 ary of the present State of Tenn. on the south.

 GOLDEN WEDDING OF MA JOE AXD MRS. STUAET. 
 
 Jump, Va., March 16, 1895. 
 
 A large gathering of people, old and young, assembled at the resi- 
 dence of Mr. John McCown, March 13, 1845, to witness the marriage 
 of Major John H. Stuart to Miss Jane E. McCown. The ancestors 
 of both families are among the first Scotch-Irish people who settled 
 that portion of Eockbridge County, and were among the most re- 
 spected families. John Stuart, grandfather of Major John H. 
 Stuart, returned to Ireland in March, 1786, and came back to Amer- 
 ica in December of the same year. He married Miss Bettie Walker, 
 granddaughter of John Walker, of Whigton, Scotland, and was thus 
 related to the Walkers and Moores, who settled on Walker's Creek 
 about the year 1840. John Stuart had a large family of children, one 
 dau., Mary, and several sons. Mary married William Walker, broth- 
 er of J oseph Walker, who was one of the first trustees of Washington 
 Col., and father-in-law of Eev. Samuel Houston, one of the pioneer 
 Presbyterian ministers of Eockbridge Co. James Stuart moved to 
 Charleston, S. C, and became very wealthy. Eev. John Stuart lived 
 and died near Lexington, Ky. ; was the father of Eev. Samuel D. 
 Stuart, of Abingdon, Ya., also the father of Eev. David Stuart, who 
 was the father of Eev. J ohn Stuart, one of our missionaries to China. 
 Walker Stuart, father of Major John H. Stuart, lived at the old 
 homestead; had one daughter, Matty, who married James Brown, 
 and four sons, John H., Alexander, William and James. The latter 
 was the father of Mr. W. C. Stuart of Lexington. Major John H. 
 Stuart was born in 1811, and has been a remarkable man; never had 
 a serious illness; is to-day, at the good old age of eighty-four, quite 
 active. When he was a young man his father received fatal injuries 
 from a log rolling on him. At the time no one was present but the 
 Major, who lifted the immense log off his father. This heroic act 
 was commented on by the Lexington papers of that day. Major and 
 Mrs. Stuart are the parents of seven children. The oldest son died 
 while preparing for the ministry. One son and two daughters are 
 left to cheer and brighten their declining years. Wednesday, March 
 13, 1895, they celebrated their Golden Wedding. For fifty years 
 they have traveled the journey of life together. ^Notwithstanding 
 the gloomy day, quite a number of the invited guests assembled at

 DESCENDANTS OE 
 
 the hospitable home to congratulate the happy couple. Among the 
 guests present were two of their attendants — and the only living 
 witnesses to the marriage — Mrs. Mary Brown and Captain James A. 
 Walker. The decorations for the occasion were pretty and appropri- 
 ate. A number of beautiful and handsome presents were received. 
 A sumptuous dinner was served in true old Virginia style. I am 
 sure they have the best wishes of all their friends and neighbors. —

 FIFTY-FIVE YEAES OF WEDDED LIFE. 
 
 Monmouth, III., June 29, 1897. 
 
 Judge and Mrs. James H. Stuart of this city, will to-morrow, cele- 
 brate the fifty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. The aged couple 
 are at present enjoying the salt breezes at Eustis, Fla., and their 
 friends in Monmouth will send them greeting to-morrow. Judge 
 Stewart and his wife, who was Miss Isabel McKamy, were married 
 on June 30, 1842, in the log cabin which was the home of the bride's 
 mother in Macomb. McDonouth Count}^ was then a mere speck, one 
 may say, on the prairie, and Mrs. McKamy's place was seven miles 
 away on Camp Creek. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stewart 
 lived at Lewiston, and later at Millersburg. In 1861 they removed 
 to Monmouth and have resided here ever since. Mr. Stewart became 
 a lawyer and was one of the most proficient in this county. He 
 served two terms as county judge and retired from practice several 
 years ago with a competence. Judge Stewart began life as a poor 
 country boy. He saw the great State of Illinois develop and wax 
 strong and mighty, and he grew in wisdom and wealth with it. He 
 and his wife are among the most respected of Monmouth's citizens. 
 
 Judge James H. Stewart died December 28, 1897, aged 75 years, 
 at his daughter's home in Eustis, Florida. He was admitted to the 
 bar in 1840.

 ernor's Council. This Moore family were related to the Carters; 
 also to Col. Walker's family who lived near Monticello, Va. ; also the

 d. William Moore, m. Ann J. Beck. 
 
 e. Evalina Moore, m. Arthur Henly of Tenn. 
 
 f. Lavina Moore, m. William McPheeters; was his 2nd wife +. 
 
 The progenitor of this family was Peter Hume, a Scotch High- 
 lander, who had by his first wife several children ; after her death he 
 married again ; by second wife he had only one son of whom we have 
 any account — his name was William. He left home when quite 
 young, and was called MacPeter, meaning "son of Peter ;" from him 
 is descended the Va. family of McPheeters. 
 
 The first of the family of whom we have any definite record was 
 William McPheeters, probably a grandson of William, son of Peter 
 Hume. This William was the youngest of several brothers. He 
 went to Ireland when about 16 years old; this was during Cromwell's 
 reign, and it may be that he with his brothers were soldiers in Crom- 
 well's army. He lived for a time in Ireland, and while there was 
 twice married. The name of his first wife is not known and it is 
 thought that her children all died young. After she died he married 
 Janet McClellan. There were four children by this marriage, 3 
 daughters and one son, who was named William for his father. The 
 father died when William was eight years old. Eebecca died about 
 1770 or '80; he then married Mary Pearce; no children. The 2nd 
 William McPheeters married Eebecca Thompson in Ireland. About 
 seven years after their marriage they emigrated to America, settling 
 for awhile in Penn. Of their 10 children, three were born in Ire- 
 land ; two of the children died young ; the others were : 
 
 a. Annie McPheeters, d. in Ireland.

 Sir: — 
 
 I received a few lines lately from you. * * * * 
 I cannot delay telling you that cousin James Moore and his little 
 sister have arrived here from Detroit to the great amazement as well 
 as satisfaction of his relatives. You can easily imagine to yourself 
 what the sweet feelings, of the heart of a child bereft of its parents 
 would be when restored to his friends after so long an absence es- 
 pecially in his situation. Cousin James has been so long with the 
 French that their language comes readier to him than his own. I 
 have some intention to learn it of him after I have left Dr. Humph- 
 
 * John Gamble was a soldier in the Revolution. Was Captain of an Augusta Com- 
 pany of militia in 1794. By his will he left 500 acres of land to his daughter Rebecca and 
 granddaughter Mary J. Ramsey. This land is described "lying in the district set apart for 
 the officers and soldiers of the Continental line, on the waters of the Little Muddy Creek, 
 in Logan County, Kentucky, granted to said Gamble the Fifteenth of September, 1795."

 rey, which I expect will be within four months, the two years being 
 then expired which was the time I agreed for. Yon mnst not be sur- 
 prised when I tell yon Anny Poage is married to Mr. Woods, a dele- 
 gate from Wheeling. He is nearly donble her age, she being not 
 quite fifteen. * * * * * I have had the hap- 
 piness to see Miss Esther Gamble in town one or two weeks ago; all 
 my concern is to see her have a good husband. * * * * 
 Things are much as you left them; little business for the doctor. 
 Sister Polly, I am in hopes, will not relapse into the complaint she 
 had formerly. A few days ago I saw a letter from James Moore to 
 his father desiring him to send for him in the beginning or latter 
 end of May. Your brother David and James Stuart are expected 
 home at the same time. * * * * * Mr. Wm.

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 What I know of our family: — My father was b. in Kockbridge 
 Co., Va. ; m. Jane Moore. He had four brothers. They all came 
 from Va. to Ky. and settled in Montgomery Co., in or near Mt. Sterl- 
 ing. The names of the brothers were William, Walker, Charles and 
 J ohn. Walker was living in Montgomery Co. when we moved to Ind. 
 He had one son, about my age. Walker had a dau. Mary Kelso, who 
 m. a man by the name of Wade. The son William moved from Mt. 
 Sterling to Corydon, Ind., and d. there. His family moved to Salem, 
 
 Ind. There were 3 dau., Melinda, and Mary. John Kelso 
 
 lived in Cincinnati, 0. His widow was living there in 1829. They 
 had a son William and dau. Mary. Charles was our teacher when 
 we were small, while living in Ky. He lived I think in the Green 
 River country. I do not remember anything of my grandparents 
 but think they were from Scotland. 
 
 April 8th, 1889. J. S. B. Kelso. 
 
 Mrs. Calahan of Bluff City writes thus of the relationship existing 
 between her family and the Walkers and Moores : 
 
 We have no direct record of the origin of the Kelso family which 
 settled in Va., but the fact that the family were from Kelso Co., 
 Scotland, has come down to us by tradition. From all the facts in 
 our possession we believe that Hugh Kelso our ancestor was the son 
 of the Hugh Kelso who m. (No. 128) Mary Walker. 
 
 My father and Mary Moore "The captive" were either first or 
 second cousins. Dr. Alex. McPheeters was his cousin also. 
 
 My brother William Kelso says he remembers hearing father and 
 Uncle James talk of going with grandfather from Ky. to Tenn. to 
 visit their Aunt Lucy Steele. My grandmother was nearly related 
 to James Moore's family. My father was named for Eev. Samuel 
 Brown, who m. Mary Moore. I think grandmother J ane Moore was 
 a sister of Capt. Moore who was killed by the Indians in 1786, as she 
 was b. in 1773.

 THE IE VINES. 
 
 When the Gauls of Spain took up their abode in Scotland and Ire- 
 land, the Irvines were of their number, and during the Protectorate 
 of Cromwell, that branch of the family in which we are interested, 
 located in the north of Ireland. "These Irvines were descended from 
 Robert Bruce. There were sixteen Irvine Coats of Arms, eleven of 
 which have the holly branch or leaves. What a family it must have 
 been in point of standing ! The first Irvine of whom we have any 
 account, William de Irvine, m. a granddaughter of Robert Bruce 
 and dau. of Lord Douglas. From these two are descended the great 
 Irvine family mentioned in history. Read "The Abbott" again and 
 see what Scott has to say of the holly branch, the ancient insignia of 
 this house. "There were two branches of the Irvine family that be- 
 longed to the baronage Bonshow and Drum." The American Ir- 
 vines were descended from the ancient house of Bonshow and were 
 among the many families who on coming to America settled first in 
 Penn., and from there went to the Virginia Valley. They served 
 as soldiers in the French and Indian Wars, also in the Revolution. 
 
 Robert Irvine of Bonshow fled from Scotland to G-leno, Ireland, 
 in 1584. He m. Elizabeth Wylie. They had one son, David Irvine, 
 who m. Sophia Gault whose family were of the nobility of Scotland, 
 descended from the Shaws who built Ballygally Castle on the shore

 It was on May 9, 1729, that some of the Irvines, Campbells, Mc- 
 Elroys and McDowells sailed on the vessel " George and Anne." Our 
 ancestor, 9 Kobert, is supposed to have been of their number, for it 
 was on this voyage that he met Ann Crockett, who afterwards became 
 his wife. Their dau. Hannah Irvine m. James Logan and their son 
 John Logan m. Rachel McPheeters No. 313. Their son James was 
 my grandfather, and John's dau., Lavinia Xo. 408, m. John Aber- 
 nathy. 
 
 The above quotations are from "The Irvines and their Kin," a 
 comprehensive volume ably edited by Mrs. L. Boyd. 
 
 Fannie M. Abernathy. 
 
 Msbet System of Heraldry, Vol. II, App. p. 69 says that, "When 
 the colonies of the Gauls came from the west coast of Spain and 
 seated themselves on the east coast of Erin and in the west of Albyn, 
 the Erevines (Irvines) came to both these islands. In the latter 
 country they had their seat in a part- of A}^rshire called Cunningham 
 and gave their name to the river and their own place of residence, 
 now the town of Irvine (at which place is situated Irvine Castle, 
 illustrated in this volume). Crine Ervine, one of this family, was 
 Abthane of Dull, and Senechal, also Collector of all the King's rents 
 in the Western Isle. He m. the Princess Beatrix, eldest dau. of Mal- 
 colm II, and was father of Duncan I, King of Scotland. Some of 
 this family went to Dumfreesshire and settled on the river Esk,

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 where one of them obtained by marriage the lands of Bonshow in that 
 County." 
 
 The American Irvines are of the House of Bonshow. 
 
 LOGAN FAMILY. 
 
 Condensed from accounts given in "Waddell's Annals/ 5 Historical 
 Papers of W. and L. Col., and "Green's Historic Families of 
 Kentucky." 
 
 This name appears on the Royal Charters as early as 1278. In 
 1329 a knight named Robert Logan was in the train of barons who 
 bore the heart of Bruce to the Holy Land, and in the battle with the 
 Moors in Spain in which the "Good" Sir James Douglas was slain, 
 a Sir Walter Logan lost his life. And during the reign of Bruce one 
 branch of this family obtained by marriage the barony of Restalrig. 
 
 Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig m. a dan. of Robert II by Euphemia 
 Ross, and was afterwards constituted Admiral of Scotland. 
 
 This family however lost their lands and for awhile even the name 
 was proscribed for their connection with the "Gowrie Conspiracy." 
 At this time many of the family changed their surname. This 
 family was undoubtedly connected with the one of the same name 
 in Ireland whose progenitor it is believed came from Ayreshire to 
 escape persecution and found refuge in what is now called Lurgen. 
 From here some of this family found their way to the Virginia Val- 
 ley via of Philadelphia. James Logan who was associated with 
 Penn in Penn. was one of these. This James Logan had a brother, 
 David, who with his (David's) son James, left Penn. and settled in 
 Virginia. Both David and his son James Logan were soldiers in the 
 French and Indian Wars. Their names appear upon the official lists. 
 David Logan was in the Colonial service also. See Va. Magazine, 
 Vol. VIII, ~No. 3, page 282. 
 
 "My grandfather James Logan, who was b. in 1807, told me that 
 his ancestor David Logan was a brother of James Logan who was 
 secretary to William Penn." 
 
 Fannie M. Abernathy. 
 
 This David Logan m. Jane . They had 2 children, Mary and 
 
 William, when they came to the Va. Valley, May 22, 1740, and made 
 their importation oath with many others.

 An account of his terrible conflict with a wild cat is given in Mc- 
 Clung's "Western Adventures" : Sitting alone in his cabin he sud- 
 denly discovered a wild cat staring at him from the open door. In 
 a moment the creature was upon him, and there was a terrific strug- 
 gle in which McKinney's clothes were badly torn. He finally suc- 
 ceeded in pressing the animal against the sharp edge of a desk, and 
 in this way overcoming him just as relief came and rescued him 
 from his perilous position. 
 
 EACHEL McPheeters 4 (313) (EacheP, Jane 2 , John 1 ), b. Dec. 
 26, 1774; m. John Logan Aug. 28, 1797. He was son of James and 
 Hannah Irvine Logan. They resided in Augusta Co., Va. He was 
 an elder in the Bethel ch., of which both were members. Two of his 
 younger brothers were Pres. ministers. All of their children who 
 lived to grow up were church members. John Logan's grandfather, 
 David Logan, was in Capt. Cathay's Co. of colonial militia from Va. 
 in 1742. John Logan's name is among the list of delegates returned 
 to serve in the Convention of March, 1788. He is mentioned thus : 
 "Col. John Logan, a doughty Indian fighter." (See Va. Historical 
 Collections, Vol. X.) There were two men by the name of John 
 Logan associated with Gen. Benjamin Logan, one his brother John 
 who m. Eachel McPheeters, and the other a cousin of theirs. 
 
 "John Logan was a member of the Convention, from Lincoln Co., 
 Virginia, which ratified the present Constitution of the United 
 States, and was a senator in 1792. 
 
 In the year 1786, Colonel John Logan, of Lincoln Count}^, re- 
 ceived intelligence that one of the inhabitants of the county, by the 
 name of Luttrell, had been killed by the Indians on Fishing Creek. 
 He immediately collected a small militia force, repaired to the place 
 of the outrage, and getting upon the trail, pursued the Indians 
 across the Cumberland Eiver into their own territory. Here he over- 
 took the marauders, and a conflict ensued, in which the Indians were 
 speedily defeated, several of their number being killed and the re- 
 mainder dispersed. Colonel Logan retook the property which the In-

 20, 1833 ; removed to Rush Co., Ind., in 1839, where he lived with 
 his father until 1856, when he went to Kansas, then a new and un- 
 settled country; went to Leavenworth Apr. 7, 1856, where he en- 
 gaged in the mercantile business. At the commencement of the 
 Civil War he raised a Co. of one hundred thirty-day men, for the 
 defense of Ft. Leavenworth. At the expiration of term of service his 
 Co. re-enlisted in 8th Kan. Infantry, he being appointed Capt. of 
 Co. A of that Reg't. During 1861 he was stationed at Ft. Leaven- 
 worth, and in service on the border. In Jan., 1862, was designated 
 by Gen. Hunter to command an expedition sent to relieve Ft. Kear- 
 ney, Neb., said post being threatened by an attack from a large party 
 of Indians. The march of over three hundred miles was made in 
 the coldest winter weather, through snow drifts and over roads al- 
 most impassable. In Jan., 1863, he was ordered with five companies 
 of his regiment to Nashville, Tenn., where they joined the remainder 
 of the Reg. and the Army of the Cumberland. He commanded his 
 Reg. at the battle of Chickamauga, where they suffered greatly. 
 Soon after that battle he resigned his commission and returned to 
 Leavenworth, where he engaged in the manufacture of furniture. 
 In 1873 he was elected mayor of that city, again elected in 1875. In

 1873 he established the "Abernathy Furniture Co." of Kansas City. 
 Mo. ; was one of the founders of the Leavenworth National Bank of 
 which he remains a director. In 1885 he with others established the 
 First National Bank of Kansas City, of which he afterwards became 
 president. In 1900 he practically retired from all kinds of business. 
 
 All of his sons are connected with him in his business enterprises 
 in which he has always been very successful, having large and varied 
 interests. He has been an elder in the Pres. eh. for twenty-five years ; 
 was supt. of the Sabbath School of the 1st Pres. eh. of Leavenworth 
 for twenty-three consecutive years. His later years have been devoted 
 to travel, and his letters descriptive of his experiences and observa- 
 tions in foreign lands are of unusual interest and merit. 
 
 A son of Scotch-Irish parentage, he is an honor to his race. The 
 rigors of frontier heroism in the making of pioneer history demand- 
 ed the best efforts of his powerful mind and body and developed his 
 natural strength of character. His influence has always been for 
 right and justice, and his example is that of an honorable, conserva- 
 tive, successful business man. He towers above others, not only in 
 stature but in mental and moral strength as well, commanding the 
 respect of all who know him, and the loving reverence of his family ;

 years old. They were m. in Keokuk, Iowa. Elizabeth Marshall was 
 a native of Penn. ; was dau. of Gilbert Marshall of Washington Co., 
 Pa. He was son of James Marshall who served in the Eevolution. 
 
 This James M was son of James Marshall of Market Hill (13 
 
 miles from Belfast) who was a linen draper and m. a Scotch woman 
 by name of Eleanor Mitchell. 
 
 James Marshall served in Eevolution and was killed by Indians 
 in his own doorway in Butler Co., 0.

 WILLIAM MARTIN Abernathy 7 (429) (James L. 6 , Lavinia 5 , 
 Rachel 4 , Rachel 3 , Jane 2 , John 1 ), b. June 5, 1860, in Leavenworth. 
 His earliest recollections are associated with military life in the fron- 
 tier posts, as his father, Col. J. L. Abernathy, was in active service 
 during the Civil War; was educated at Asbury University, where he 
 received a thorough military as well as a classical training. In 1881 
 he became associated with the Abernathy Furniture Co., which his 
 father had established in the early days of Kansas City. Perhaps 
 early associations were the occasion of more than usual interest in 
 military affairs as he served in the state militia and on the Governor's 
 staff for fifteen years. 
 
 When war was declared with Spain he offered his services to his 
 country; was commissioned as Major of the 5th Mo. Reg. After a 
 few weeks service he was commissioned by Pres. McKinley as Major 
 and Commissary of subsistence U. S. V., and after a short stay at 
 Camp Alger under Gen. Graham, he was ordered to Cuba to join 
 forces under Gen. Guy V. Henry. Owing to a yellow fever epidemic 
 the troops were ordered from Cuba to Porto Rico to proceed against 
 the island under Gen. Miles. The campaign was short but success- 
 ful. The troops experienced the hardships of a tropical climate in 
 the rainy season. Maj. Abernathy was honorably discharged the 
 following Autumn, and resumed his regular business; m. June 28, 
 1883, to Fannie Earnistine McClellan, dau. of John and Eliza J ane

 the latter part of his life at Oxford, where the family had resided 
 since about 1868. He was a man of thorough education; a devout 
 Christian, and for many years a revered elder in the Pres. ch. ; a 
 man of dignified bearing, but tender and affectionate always in his 
 family. In his youth he intended to be a minister of the Gospel, but 
 his health would not permit. And it was a source of great comfort 
 and pleasure to him especially during the latter years of his life after 
 he was obliged to give up teaching, that he was able to read the New 
 Testament in the original Greek. He d. Aug. 11, 1881, at Oxford,

 home of her only dau., Mrs. Abernathy, in Kansas City, Mo. ; m. to 
 John McClellan, son of James, in Sept., 1861, and was left a widow 
 in Sept., 1862; became a member of the Pres. ch. at an early age. 
 Her life was one of great activity and usefulness. In every good 
 work, in her home and in the church, until her health failed, although 
 a great sufferer, she was ever forgetful of self and anxious to be help- 
 ful to others. A friend of hers in writing of her says : 
 
 "She doeth little kindnesses, 
 Which most leave or despise, 
 And naught that sets a heart at ease, 
 Or bringeth happiness and peace, 
 Is low esteemed in her eyes." 
 
 So it was. She spent her entire life in ministering to others, and 
 many hold her in sweet remembrance as the one who kindled anew 
 the flame of hope, when all else seemed to fail. 
 
 How blessed to have lived such a life, leaving an abiding influence 
 in the hearts of those who knew her, while she has 
 
 Passed on to the glory eternal, 
 Joining the throng of the blest; 
 
 Joy and contentment forever, 
 Happiness, peace and rest.

 WILLIAM McPheeters 4 (314) (Rachel 3 , Jane 2 , John 1 ), was b. 
 Sept. 28, 1788, in Angnsta Co., Va., near the North Mountain, 
 about seven miles southwest from Staunton. He was taught the 
 elements of English education in the various schools in Augusta 
 and Eockbridge Counties, and finished his education in Liberty 
 Hall, now Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va. In 
 1797, he went to Kentucky and studied medicine with his brother, 
 Dr. James McPheeters, but in 1799 he returned to Virginia in com- 
 pany with his brother-in-law, John Logan, and took up the study of 
 theology, chiefly under the direction of Rev. Samuel Brown, New 
 Providence, Rockbridge Co., Va. He was licensed at the New Provi- 
 dence Church in April, 1802. After this he traveled in Kentucky, 
 preaching in various places, and also in Ohio, but finally took charge 
 of a small church in Danville, Ky., and on the 25th of Sept., 1804, 
 he married his first wife, Elizabeth McDowell, near Lexington, Ky. 
 The next two years he traveled back and forth from Kentucky to 
 Virginia, and in 1806, after a lingering illness, his wife Elizabeth 
 died. She was the daughter of Maj. John McDowell, who was the 
 son of Judge Samuel McDowell and Mary McClung. 
 
 From 1807 to 1812, he was trustee of Washington and Lee Col- 
 lege. In June, 1810, he took charge of the Academy at Raleigh, 
 N. C, as its principal teacher, also preached to the town congrega- 
 tion. Remained here until 1826, when he went to Fayetteville to 
 take charge of a female school, continuing however his ministerial 
 duties at Raleigh until 1836. Was elected to the presidency of Dav- 
 idson College, N. C, in 1840, but was obliged to decline the invita- 
 tion on account of poor health. The University of North Carolina 
 conferred the degree of D. D. upon him shortly before his death. 
 Married March 18, 1809, Lavina Moore (daughter of Alexander and 
 Elizabeth). They were married in Blount Co., Tenn., where she

 of Washington, Beaufort Co., N. C, who was horn in Scotland and 
 emigrated to America when quite young. Margaret was the mother

 study of law, but becoming very much impressed on the subject of 
 religion about 1842, he decided to devote his life to the work of 
 Christ. In 1843 he left Ealeigh for Princeton Theological Semi- 
 nary. After finishing his studies here he engaged in Missionary 
 work in various fields in Virginia; then accepted a charge in St. 
 Louis, Mo., with the Westminister Presbyterian Church, where he 
 met with singular success. His labors here covered a period of ten 
 years, with constantly increasing evidences of his usefulness. In 
 
 1858 his church joined with Pine Street Church, Eev. McPheeters 
 continuing pastor. The degree of D. D. was conferred upon him in 
 
 1859 by Westminster Assembly. On account of failing health he 
 went to New Mexico in 1860, accompanied by his family. A chap- 
 lain's commission having been obtained for him, he preached to the 
 soldiers and taught the children of the officers. While here he cal- 
 culated the simplest and most comprehensive interest table in exist- 
 ence, the manuscript of which is in the possession of his sons. He 
 remained in Ft. Union until 1861, when news came of the conflict 
 in the States. 
 
 These tidings produced a profound effect upon the mind of Dr. 
 McPheeters. He clung to the idea of the union of the States with 
 honest pride, and freely expressed his willingness to render all the 
 assistance in his power should the Fort be attacked. He also exerted 
 decisive influence over the officers who, under strong temptation, ap- 
 peared to waver in their fealty. "As a citizen," he said, "I hold it to 
 be a most important and indispensable part of my duty to God to 
 obey the law, to submit to the authorities, to pray for them, to ren- 
 der them the honor due their several stations, and to promote peace 
 and quietness. These things, I solemnly declare, I have habitually 
 aimed to do." 
 
 In addition to these declarations, he wrote a personal letter to his 
 congregation in St. Louis, in which he carefully defines his position 
 and entreats his beloved charge to preserve even in troublous times, 
 "the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace." 
 
 Honestly endeavoring to perform his duties to God and man he 
 returned to his charge in St. Louis where feeling ran high, and was 
 finally involved in a struggle which was too much for his feeble 
 strength, an interesting account of which is told in a very impartial 
 manner by Eev. John S. Grasty in his Memoir of Dr. McPheeters, 
 from which we have drawn largely for this sketch.

 ers quitted his St. Louis charge and accepted a position at Mulberry 
 Church, Shelby Co., Ky. 
 
 After the close of the war. the Pine Street Church resolved "That 
 the action restraining Dr. McPheeters from preaching in the Pine 
 Street Church be. and is now, revoked.'" 
 
 It is but justice to record that at the first opportunity which pre- 
 sented itself, the Pine Street Church congregation, by an overwhelm- 
 ing majority, made an earnest and heartfelt call upon Dr. McPheet- 
 ers to return and minister as pastor to the people from whom, con- 
 trary to their wishes, he had been unrighteously torn by the cruel 
 hand of ecclesiastico-military power. 
 
 Upon receiving this communication, Dr. McPheeters visited St. 
 Louis, where he was warmly received. But after prayerful consider- 
 ation, on account of physical inability, the invitation, so tenderly 
 and generously offered, was declined. 
 
 As his physical strength grew less his spiritual nature seemed to 
 grow and expand. Even after his condition had become such that 
 he was obliged to keep his bed, he continued to minister to his flock, 
 being carried to and from the church in an ambulance. From a 
 couch at the front of the pulpit he gave the people his messages of 
 love and mercy. The power of his preaching at this time was far- 
 reaching and powerful. He even attended Presbytery after he was 
 unable to walk. He labored on until 18 TO, preaching his last ser- 
 mon in February. And on March 9, 18 TO, he sank to rest. After 
 appropriate services in Mulberry, his remains were laid to rest in 
 Grove Hill Cemetery, St. Louis. 
 
 He married in May, 1851, Eliza C. Shanks, daughter of Col. John 
 Shanks, a prominent citizen of Fincastle, Va.

 CAPTAIX CTTAPtLES CAMPBELL. 
 
 Among the Presbyterian trustees of ITT 6. and also the chartered 
 trustees, was the venerable Charles Campbell. He was the son of 
 Charles Campbell whose remote ancestor was Duncan Campbell. 
 This Duncan, who never left Scotland, had three sons Dougald, 
 Eobert and John, who removed to Ireland in IT 00, and settled in 
 Coleraine in County Derry. Most of the descendants of these three 
 brothers, between IT 30 and '40, emigrated to Pennsylvania, and 
 thence to Augusta, as Augusta then was. The descendants of 
 Dougald are said to have settled in what is now Eockbridge, and 
 three brothers, sons of Eobert, namely Hugh, John and Charles, set- 
 tled in Augusta proper. Charles Campbell, your trustee, the son of 
 Charles, was born in Eockbridge in 1741; married Mary Ann Dow- 
 ney, and both husband and wife lived to an advanced age, she dying 
 in 1824, aged 82, and he in 1826, aged 85. 
 
 Charles did not actively engage in political affairs, but commanded 
 a company at the siege of York, and he delighted in old age to re- 
 count the details of the siege. He was noted for his piety, and was 
 fond of books, encouraged literary institutions, and trained his nu- 
 
102

 merous sons and daughters in sonnd learning. One of his sons, Dr. 
 Samuel L. Campbell, who was a pupil of the Academy, a trustee, and 
 for a short period its rector, was a good scholar and a correct and 
 graceful writer; and we owe to his pen not only a graphic account 
 of the infant academy and of its early pupils, but a valuable memoir 
 of the battle of Point Pleasant. Charles Campbell, your trustee, who 
 lived as late as 1826, is well remembered by many now living. He 
 was about middle size, and in his old age, as he sat as an elder in the 
 New Providence Church on the left of the pulpit, with his white 
 hair flowing, decrepit with years, but firm in faith and zealous for 
 the glory of God, he was a striking figure. He was long a Magis- 
 trate and did not hesitate to use the whole rigor of the law in repress- 
 ing violations of the Sabbath. 
 
 At your annual celebrations the good old man drove from his resi- 
 dence twelve miles distant to this hill in his carriage drawn by two 
 rather old horses who rejoiced in the names of Grey and Goody, and 
 listened with rapt attention to all the exercises of the day. He left 
 numerous descendants, among whom is my valued friend Charles 
 Campbell, who truly represents the literary zeal and sterling integ- 
 rity of his ancestor. He was High-Sheriff of Rockbridge, 1808-10, 
 and a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, 1788-89.

 on a farm with his mother and three maiden sisters. Be- 
 sides attending to the duties of the farm they found time 
 for much reading and study of the doctrines of Christian- 
 ity. About 1SS0 he became greatly interested in the Book 
 of Eevelations and wrote out his views at length in a 
 Commentary, which is in the possession of Mrs. Axtel of 
 St. Paul. This work has been pronounced deserving of 
 merit by a competent judge.

 over fifty years; highly esteemed as a Christian; was an excellent 
 Biblical scholar ; united with X. P. Church when about 16 years old; 
 was a ruling elder of Knightstown Church. He was a cousin of 
 Charles Campbell, the Historian. 
 
 In his veins ran the blood of the Covenanters. The old Highland 
 Campbells that had suffered for the faith delivered to the Saints, and 
 led the sturdy clans against the oppression of religious despotism 
 were at once an inspiration to his steadfast reliance in the old church 
 of his fathers, and left to him a heritage of unwavering fidelity to his 
 God. Eich indeed in the history of persecution for the truth, valor 
 and endurance for the right, indomitable courage in the face of 
 disaster and overwhelming odds, is the race from which James 
 Campbell sprang, and whose name he has borne with all good report 
 for eighty years. To-day the memory of that gentle spirit is a bless- 
 ing which is perpetual rejoicing. When death came it found him 
 ready ; it had no terrors for him. He said to the Pastor in reply to a 
 question as to the outlook for the future, "I have not served the Lord 
 from my youth to be forsaken in my old age." It was at once the 
 keynote and symbol of his long and faithful life.

 1853. He was b. in Geneva, N. Y., 1818; d. in Mankato, Minn., 
 Oct. 30, 1891. 
 
 Of the Rev. Charles Axtell it can well be said that he died in the 
 Lord after a well spent life of faithful and good works. He was the 
 son of a prominent clergyman of Geneva, N. Y. He was educated 
 for the ministry, but his health failing, he was sent abroad with the 
 hope of restoring it. He went as a sailor in what was supposed to be 
 a whaler, but after getting out upon the sea the captain turned 
 pirate, and having no use for such a man as Mr. Axtell, dropped him 
 upon one of the South Pacific Islands, where he expected the natives 
 would devour him. He succeeded in making friends among them, 
 and though his life was often threatened, he escaped injury and was 
 finally picked up by a passing vessel. After two shipwrecks he re- 
 turned to New York, after an absence of two years.

 He taught for some time in an institution for the instruction of 
 the blind. In IS 5 2 he entered the ministry of the Presbyterian 
 Church : held many important charges, the first being at Galena, 111., 
 where he was the neighbor and friend of General Grant. 
 
 When compelled to leave his work on account of ill health, he 
 wrote a farewell letter to each member of his congregation. 
 
 Their children were 4-, viz :

 This name was given her by her father in memory of the

 tected his life when cast ashore among savages. This 
 small island belongs to the Fiji group, lying out of the 
 main track of vessels. When one came for recruiting and 
 he was about leaving, Chief Bonfan with his little daugh-

 REBECCA Campbell 5 (548) (Elizabeth 4 , Rachel 3 , Jane 2 , John 1 ),

 family removed to Knightstown, Indiana, in 1833, where Rebecca 
 was m. to Joshua Hall March 15, 1842. They lived near there until 
 1855, when they removed to Iowa and settled in Cedar County. She 
 died in Des Moines November 20, 1887, at the age of 76 years. They 
 were among the pioneers of that state. 
 
 Mrs. Hall was noted through life for a calm, firm Christian spirit, 
 and it is not to be wondered at, for she was a descendant of a long- 
 line of pious ancestors, among whom were the Alleins, Rutherfords, 
 Thompsons and Walkers of Scotland, and the McPheeters and 
 Moores of Virginia. Her mother was a McPheeters, which family, 
 it is said, furnished more ministers to the Presbyterian Church than 
 any other family in America. Her husband, Joshua Hall, was b.

 Gen. John Coalter Bates is a native Z\Iissourian, having been born 
 in St. Charles County, August 26, 1842. He was a son of that emi- 
 nent Missourian, the late Edward Bates, who served in Lincoln's 
 first cabinet as Attorney- General. "When but a few months old his 
 parents moved to St. Louis, so he may be considered a native St. 
 Louisan. Gen. Bates never attended a military school, Ms advance- 
 ment being due to his ability and strict attention to duty. He has 
 been frequently trusted with some of the important positions in the 
 gift of the army officers, and has always earned every promotion. 
 He was educated in the common schools of St. Louis, and for a time 
 attended AVashington University, though he never graduated from 
 that institution. He was just on the verge of young manhood when 
 the civil war broke out, and, imbibing the spirit of the times, he 
 desired to take a part for the L'nion. 
 
 On May 1L 1861, when but 19 years old, he was commissioned 
 a First Lieutenant in the 11th United States Infantry. He served 
 with the army of the Potomac until April, 1863. He was with his 
 company at Gaines" Mill, Malvern, the second battle of Bull Run, 
 Antietam and Fredericksburg, and was in every engagement in 
 which the 11th took part. From December, 1862, to April, 1863, 
 he was Adjutant, and was then appointed aide-de-camp to the Gen- 
 eral commanding the army of the Potomac. He retained that posi- 
 tion until the army was reassigned and redistributed in 1865. Dur- 
 ing the last few months before the army of the Potomac was muster- 
 ed out, Gen. Bates was commissary of musters, when fully 50,000 
 soldiers were discharged from the service. While an aide-de-camp 
 he participated in the battles of Chancellorsville. Gettysburg, Rappa- 
 hanock Station, Bristow Station, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Spott- 
 sylvania and Petersburg. 
 
 After the war Gen. Bates became Colonel of the 2nd Regiment, 
 
118 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 and was apointecl Brigadier General May 4, 1898, just before the 
 troops were sent to Cuba in the war with Spain. 
 
 In the interim between the civil and Spanish- American wars Gen. 
 Bates was in service in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Ne- 
 braska, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Texas and New Mexico, 
 except one year, when he was in Washington as chairman of the 
 tactical board. In 1871 he was second in command of the escort 
 sent with the surveying party west from the Missouri Eiver to locate 
 the line of the Northern Pacific Eailroad. In 1882 he was selected 
 by Gen. Sheridan to organize the division rifle competition and was 
 in charge of the competition in 1883, 1884 and 1885. In 1884 Gen. 
 Bates was in command of four troops of cavalry and two companies 
 of infantry that captured 800 Creek Indians that made war on the 
 recognized Creek government and defied the United States au- 
 thorities. Gen. John Pope, department commander, commended 
 him for his services in that campaign. 
 
 In 1888 Gen. Bates was again president of the tactical board that 
 met in Washington to revise the army tactics. In 1892 he was on 
 duty with the National Guard of New York at its encampment at 
 Peekskill. One year later he became a member of the board on 
 magazine small arms which adopted the rifle and carbine used at the 
 present time. He commanded fourteen companies of infantry and 
 four troops of cavalry ordered to quell the riots at Butte City, Mont., 
 during the big railroad strike there in 1894. He was president of 
 the board selected in 1896 to prepare firing regulations for the army, 
 and in 1897 was in the service in Minnesota. 
 
 When war was declared with Spain in 1898, a number of officers 
 in the regular army were advanced. Among these was Gen. (then 
 Colonel) Bates. He was made a Brigadier General of Volunteers 
 and was soon ordered to Cuba. In the early part of May he passed 
 through East St. Louis on the way South with his troops and visited 
 his relatives a few hours in St. Louis. 
 
 During the war with Spain Gen. Bates was in the battles of El 
 Caney, San Juan Hill and other important engagements. After 
 the campaign ended he was ordered to the Philippines. He never 
 married. — From St. Louis Globe Democrat, March 22, 1901. 
 
 Brigadier-General Bates now in command of the Department of 
 the Missouri and shortly to assume at least temporary command of 
 the Department of the Colorado in addition, is a member of the newly

 created Board on the Location and Distribution of Military Posts. 
 Gen. Bates is the officer who was in command when the J olo Islands 
 were taken and annexed to the United States. This was effected 
 without the firing of a single shot. At first this ruler was reluctant 
 to trust the United States, and through his secretary and the heir- 
 apparent made repeated apologies for his absence, explaining that 
 he was busy officiating at religious observances. The high char- 
 acter of Gen. Bates, his tact and patience so impressed the emmis- 
 saries of the Sultan thai that ruler was finally delighted to welcome 
 the American General to the imperial residence at Maibun, where 
 the treat} 7 was negotiated. The state religion is Mohammedan and 
 the Sultan is now making preparations to undertake a pious pil- 
 grimage to Mecca. The journey will be an impressive one. and for 
 the first time in history a potentate carrying the flag of the United 
 States will travel to that ancient shrine. 
 
 General Bates is a modest, unassuming man : considered the best 
 disciplinarian in the army. His father fought in 1812, and his 
 grandfather fought in the Eevolution, he was at Yorktown. Corn- 
 wallis gave Thomas Fleming Bates a guard for his house, but Bates 
 threw it into the fire. Cornwallis remarked : "If all your country- 
 men are like you, we will never conquer them."

 JOHN Coalter 4 (585) (Elizabeth 3 , Jane 2 , John 1 ) ; son of Michael 
 and Elizabeth Moore; b. Aug. 20, 1771, in Rockbridge Co. (then 
 Augusta) ; studied law in William and Mary College under Judge 
 St. George Tucker, taking a course also under Chancellor Wythe 
 and Bishop Madison. While in Williamsburg he married Maria 
 Rind (1791) ; settled in Staunton, where he practiced law and was 
 at one time County Clerk ; was succeeded in that office by his brother 
 Micajah. Maria Rind d. 1792. 1795 Judge Coalter married Mar- 
 garet Davenport, who died July 25, 1797. On June 5, 1802, he 
 married Frances Bland Tucker, daughter of Judge St. George 
 Tucker and Frances Bland. 
 
 Of the Tucker family, to which Frances belonged, there were 
 Daniel (1), George (2) and Henry Tucker (3), who came of Eng- 
 lish stock. Daniel was the first Governor of Bermuda in 1616. 
 From him descended John, Chief Justice of Bermuda, who married 
 a daughter of Henry Tucker (2), and from these were descended 
 Daniel, the immediate ancestor of Professor George Tucker of Vir- 
 ginia, the father of Frances who married Judge Coalter. Of the 
 Blands we have the following history: Adam Bland, in the reign 
 of Edward IV., married Jane Atkyns; their son John married Susan 
 
 ; their son Giles Bland came to Virginia and engaged in 
 
 Bacon^s Rebellion and was hanged by Gov. Berkley. John and 
 Susan had another son, Theodoric, who came to Virginia about 1654. 
 He married Jane Bennett, daughter of Richard Bennett, Governor 
 of Virginia, and died in 1671. Their son Richard married Eliza- 
 beth Randolph. Their eldest son, also named Richard, was a leading 
 member of the Revolutionary Convention of Virginia, called by J ef - 
 ferson "the wisest man south of the James River." Their daughter 
 Mary married Henry Lee, and their son Henry was the father of the 
 celebrated Col. Henry Lee (Light Horse Harry), of the Revolution.

 He was the father of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Richard Bland's son, 
 Theodoric Bland, married Frances Boiling, and their only son, 
 Theodoric, was Colonel of the Dragoons during the Revolution, and 
 afterwards member of Congress. He had no children. Theodoric 
 and Frances Bland also had a daughter, Frances Bland, who married 
 the first time, John Randolph. Their son was John Randolph of 
 Roanoke. The second time she married St. George Tucker, and 
 their daughter, Frances B. Tucker, is the one who married Judge 
 John Coalter. 
 
 Frances Coalter died at the Red Sulphur Springs, September 
 12, 1813. 
 
 In 1821 Judge Coalter married Mrs. Hannah Harrison (nee 
 Jones), daughter of Wm. Jones, Esq., of Ellwood and his wife Betty 
 Churchill. 
 
 In WaddeFs Annals we find this brief account of the early 
 struggles of J ohn Coalter : "While a young lawyer, living at Staun- 
 ton, Judge Coalter resided at a place then called Elm Grove, on 
 Lewis Creek, half a mile east of town. His circumstances were so 
 poor that he had to return home every day in time to cut wood for 
 family use ; and not being able to keep or hire a horse, he walked to 
 his courts, carrying his clothes and papers in a bag on his shoulders. 
 Afterwards, when a distinguished judge of the Court of Appeals, 
 he was in the habit of referring to this period as the happiest of his 
 life. His last residence was a handsome seat, called Chatham, on the 
 Rappahannock, opposite Fredericksburg. He was b. a little north of 
 X. P. Church, now in Rockbridge County." 
 
 He was attorney for the Commonwealth until 1809, when he re- 
 signed to accept the position of Judge of the Federal Court of Vir- 
 ginia, to which he was elected. 
 
 Judge John Coalter of the General Court, was promoted to the 
 Supreme Court of Appeals May 11, 1811. About 1821 he removed 
 to Richmond and purchased "Chatham," in Stafford opposite Fred- 
 ericksburg, where he resided until the time of his death which occur- 
 red Feb. 2, 1838. He was buried in St, George's Churchyard. 
 
 The three children of Judge Coalter were all by his third wife, 
 Frances, viz: 
 
 699. Frances Lelia Coalter; b. 1803; d. at Warm Springs in 
 1821.

 Hayden, in his Virginia Genealogies, says that — 
 
 "John Eandolph Bryan, of Gloucester Co., Va., was born at Wil- 
 mington Is., Ga., March 23, 1806. He died at the University of 
 Virginia Sept. 13, 1887. On Jan. 27,1830, in Chatham, Va., he 
 married Elizabeth Tucker Coalter. She was born June 25th, 1805, 
 and died at Eagle Point, Va., March 28, 1856. She was the second 
 daughter of Hon. John Coalter, Judge of the Virginia Court of Ap- 
 peals, and his wife, Anne Frances Bland Tucker, daughter of Hon. 
 St. George and Frances (Bland) Tucker. Her grandmother, Fran- 
 ces Bland, was the daughter of Theoderick and Frances (Boiling) 
 Bland, and widow of J ohn Eandolph — therefore the mother of John 
 Eandolph of Boanoke. 
 
 Mr. J. E. Bryan was educated in the schools of William Lacy, 
 Prince Edward Co., Va., and Mr. Ivirkpatrick, of Halifax, Va., 
 1816-1820. In 1822 he entered Yale College, but receiving an ap- 
 pointment in the United States Navy as Midshipman Oct. 4, 1823, 
 he accepted, and was ordered to the "Peacock." He became passed 
 Midshipman March 23, 1829. In 1824 he was ordered to the 
 "United States." He resigned Sept. 5, 1831, and retired to his estate 
 of "Nonchalance," Wilmington Island. 
 
 Having in 1830 bought a farm on the Severn Eiver in Gloucester 
 Co., Va., for which he paid $20,000, he removed there, and remain- 
 ed until 1862. 
 
 The following notice of Mr. Bryan is from the Southern Church- 
 man: "After his father's death, Mr. John Eandolph requested Mrs. 
 Bryan to permit him to superintend the education of her two sons, 
 Eandolph and Thomas. He adopted his namesake, Eandolph Bryan. 
 They were sent on to Virginia, and placed at school near him. For 
 several years he directed their education and caused them to spend 
 their vacations under his roof, treating them with the tenderness of 
 a father.

 The constant and friendly intercourse with a man so remarkable 
 as John Eandolph, left its impress npon his ward. His tastes were 
 formed and his virtues developed. 
 
 At the end of eight years service, he left the Xavy and married a 
 remarkable woman, Elizabeth Tucker Coalter, the greatly beloved 
 niece of John Eandolph. She was endowed with great wit, strong 
 practical common sense, and deep piety. She was a true and noble 
 woman. Immediately after their marriage, Mr. Bryan united with 
 the Episcopal Church, in Fredericksburg, being baptized and con- 
 firmed the same day, to remain Christ's faithful soldier to his life's 
 end." Their 10 children were as follows :

 "I am living on the property on which Samuel Brown, who mar- 
 ried Mary Moore, was born. I have in my possession a number of 
 letters from him and his wife to my ancestor, his brother, Henry 
 Brown. The father of said Samuel and Henry Brown moved to 
 the place I now own (in Bedford Co., Va., Brierfield P. 0.) just 
 after his parents had both been massacred by the Indians. He was 
 on a visit to them at the time and killed and wounded several of the 
 Indians, among them a Chief, for whose scalp, etc., Gov. Dinwiddie 
 paid him the bounty given by Virginia to private citizens who killed 
 an Indian in combat. He also offered him a commission in the Col- 
 onial Army, which he declined owing to the exposed condition of 
 his family. This massacre took place in 1755, in what is now Bote- 
 tourt Co., then Augusta, on the bank of the Koanoke River, a few 
 miles below Salem. My maternal great grandfather, John Coalter, 
 was Judge of the Court of Appeals in Virginia. He and Samuel 
 Brown were school friends, and I have numbers of letters from each 
 to the other, among them Brown^s letters from Edinburg, or several 
 of them, when he was there studying Theology; also many of an 
 earlier date."

 THE MOOEE FAMILY WHO SUFFERED IN THE TERRI- 
 BLE INDIAN MASSACRE. 
 
 Extracts from "The Captives of Abb's Valley, a Legend of Fron- 
 tier Life, by a son of Mary Moore/' the Captive. 
 
 "The Valley," as the expression is understood by those who live 
 in it, denotes the tract of country in Virginia bounded on the east 
 by the Blue Ridge and on the west by a parallel ridge, called in most 
 of its extent the North Mountain. It is a fine agricultural district 
 and its scenery is not surpassed in variety, beauty or grandeur by 
 many districts in America. 
 
 The first settlers in this valley, with few exceptions, were from 
 the north of Ireland. They were the descendants of the Scotch, who 
 for various reasons had emigrated to that country and had taken 
 with them the kirk and the school. They were decided Presbyterians. 
 Deep abhorrence of Popery and a strong dislike to Episcopacy, were 
 to be expected among those whose fathers had felt the oppression 
 and cruelties of Claverhouse, and whose friends had suffered and 
 fought and died at Londonderry. 
 
 But if they were free from all interference from Popery after 
 they had settled in America, they did not find the same relief from 
 Episcopacy in the Valley of Virginia. As an Episcopal church was 
 built in each country town, the Presbyterians always located their 
 places of worship elsewhere. Hence there is not in the valley any 
 village in which a Presbyterian church was built until after the 
 commencement of the Revolution. Amongst others along the road 
 leading through Brownsburg from Staunton to Lexington, about 
 twenty-two miles from Staunton, there is a brick church on the 
 right, and near it a large graveyard. The house that is now occu- 
 pied, is the third in which the congregation of New Providence have 
 worshipped. The first was a wooden structure. The second was of 
 stone, and occupied in part the ground that is covered by the present 
 building. This house was built either in 1745 or 1746. It was an 
 era of no little consequence, and a work of no little difficulty to the 
 people who accomplished it. Some of the traditions of the congrega- 
 tion will illustrate this. At that time there was but one vehicle that 
 moved on wheels in the congregation, and it was a one-horse cart. 
 The heavy timbers for the roof and galleries were dragged to the 
 place with one end resting on the axle of the cart, and the other on

 the ground. The wheels gave way under the weight of the last one, 
 and the people collected and carried it nearly a mile. The sand nsed 
 in plastering the house was carried in sacks on horseback about ten 
 miles; and this was done chiefly by the girls of the congregation. 
 The people at that period were not infrequently disturbed by alarms 
 of Indians, and often the whole of a family would go to church on 
 the Sabbath, because they dared not leave any at home. The father 
 and sons carried their weapons with them, prepared to defend their 
 lives ; and a large number of armed men were frequently seen at the 
 church. 
 
 The sixth child and second son of James Moore bore the name of 
 his father. He married Martha Poage, whose parents lived, about 
 nine miles south of Lexington on the road leading to the Natural 
 Bridge ; and after his marriage resided some years at a place on the 
 same road, which was known for many years as Newel's Tavern. 
 Two or three years later he located in Abb's Valley in Tazewell 
 County. Mr. Moore's attention was turned to this spot by a kins- 
 man of his. The advantages which this place presented were many. 
 It was out of the usual track of the Indians; none of them lived 
 near; stock could be raised with very little trouble; the climate was 
 fine; the soil fertile; game abundant and ginseng could be obtained 
 in large quantities. Some other families had established themselves 
 in the same region; the attention of many others had been turned 
 hither and it was probable that in a few years the number of settlers 
 would be much increased. In settling here Mr. Moore with, his fam- 
 ily was accompanied by his brother-in-law, Eobert Poage, and Mr. 
 Looney, who each had a small family. For some years no other 
 families resided in Abb's Valley. 
 
 The frontier man and the frontier family of that period are 
 among the things of bygone days. It was necessary that the head of 
 the family should be hardy, fearless, capable of enduring labor and 
 exposure without injury, and able by day or by night to find his way 
 through the forest with the certainty which characterizes the wolf 
 or the Indian. Familiarity with the use of the rifle and the toma- 
 hawk was scarcely considered an accomplishment. It was necessary 
 that every man should possess them. He did not know at what 
 moment all his skill would be called into requisition in defending 
 his cabin against the attack of the Indian. Tools of the carpenter, 
 the blacksmith, the tanner, the shoemaker and the cooper must be 
 possessed and used. A young woman who did not know how to spin, 
 
132 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 dye, weave and make into garments the cloth that her own hands 
 had produced, stood little chance of finding any man who would ask 
 her to be his helpmeet. Owing to their isolated position the advan- 
 tages of schools were enjoyed to a very limited extent, but education 
 was not wholly neglected. By the persevering efforts of the parents 
 all were taught to read and write; the boys were taught arithmetic, 
 and on the Sabbath the Bible and the Catechism were carefully 
 studied in many families. Such a man was James Moore, such a 
 woman was his wife Martha, and such a family was his likely to be 
 in Abb's Valley. 
 
 The three neighbors of Capt. Moore became alarmed over the dan- 
 ger from the Indians, after a young man whose name was Eichards 
 left Captain Moore's house to go a few hundred yards and was shot 
 and scalped by Indians and an attempt was made to break into the 
 cabin of Mr. Poage the night before, and took their families away. 
 Thus only the family of Captain Moore remained. It may seem 
 strange to those who are unacquainted with the fascinations of fron- 
 tier life that Captain Moore did not follow the example of his neigh- 
 bors, and that in the face of so many real dangers, and after so many 
 warnings of them, he continued to reside in the valley. It is indeed 
 diffcult for those who have spent their lives where they never have 
 thought for a moment that they were in danger, either from wild 
 beasts or savage men, to understand how it was possible for either he 
 or his family to feel at ease for a day. But from his childhood he 
 had been familiar with these dangers, and his wife as well as himself 
 had grown up in the midst of them. Familiarity with danger hard- 
 ens the mind against its terrors. He was prospering finely in his 
 business. After having lived eight or nine years in the valley he had 
 nearly a hundred head of horses, and a large number of cattle, from 
 both of which kinds of stock he made profitable sales every year. 
 Providence seemed to smile on him in everything. His family were 
 blessed with fine health, and by giving attention to their education 
 as well as he could by his own and his wife's exertions, by the careful 
 observance of the Sabbath, and by attending to family worship, he 
 and his pious wife sought to remedy as far as possible the privations 
 and disadvantages under which they and their children labored. If 
 the present was almost unmingled prosperity, the future seemed 
 scarcely less bright. He had formed his plans, and had almost se- 
 cured the means to purchase the whole of the valley; and here he 
 designed to settle his children around him, and in the midst of them

 spend his old age. These were his plans, but the purposes of God 
 were very different. "How unsearchable are his judgments, and his 
 ways past finding out." 
 
 During the interval between the close of the war of the American 
 Eevolution and the treaty made with the Indians after they had been 
 defeated by General Wayne in 1794, the Western frontiers were 
 greatly harassed by the savages. It seemed not to be their plan to 
 visit the same section of the country very frequently, but to allow 
 time for the settlement to get into a feeling of security after one 
 attack before they made another. Their feelings toward the whites 
 were bitter. Their hatred was directed to the race and not to the 
 individuals ; and they could scalp and torture with as much pleasure 
 the female and the child as the intrepid man who had met them in 
 battle. They delighted to come by surprise on a defenseless family, 
 to lead mothers and children into captivity, to gather the spoils of the 
 household and carry them to their distant wigwams. 
 
 Among the Indians who took an active part in harassing the fron- 
 tiers was Black Wolf, an inferior chief of the Shawnees. He lived 
 on the north side of the Ohio near Chillicothe. He headed several 
 of the parties that harassed the southwestern part of Virginia. Taze- 
 well seems to have been a favorite point of attack, and hence no part 
 of the old frontier was the scene of so many Indian adventures, but 
 I must confine my narrative to Abb's Valley, which Black Wolf 
 visited in 1784, when he took captive James, the second son of Cap- 
 tain Moore. James was then fourteen, already well versed in the 
 use of the rifle, an adventurous, keen hunter for his age. About the 
 middle of September, 1784, he was sent in the morning to bring a 
 horse from the place where Mr. Poage had lived, about two miles 
 distant. He had almost reached the field where the horses were 
 when Black Wolf and two younger Indians sprang from behind a 
 large log, and yelling the terrific war whoop, rushed on him, and 
 laid hold of him before he had time to think what to do. Wolf then 
 directed him by signs to catch one of the horses, giving him some salt 
 for this purpose, but he contrived to let the horse break away each 
 time he caught him. He said he had no wish to have his father lose 
 one of his best horses. They then started for the Ohio, which they 
 reached twenty days after starting. 
 
 Two years after James was taken captive occurred the terrible 
 massacre in which James Moores' family were all killed or taken 
 captive. One of the prisoners taken at this time was Martha Evans,.

 a young girl, who was at Captain Moore's at the time of the raid by 
 the Indians. Her brother, Thomas Evans, in September, 1786, 
 plunged into the unbroken forests of the west to seek his sister. It 
 was an undertaking of untold peril. It was a day of deep interest 
 to the settlement generally, and his family in particular. He was 
 to have been married the following month to Miss Ann Crow. Most 
 of the incidents of his travels are now hopelessly lost. In the latter 
 part of the spring he heard that there was to be a meeting on the bor- 
 der of Kentucky for the purpose of the ransom of prisoners. To that 
 treaty he went, hoping to get some tidings of his sister. There he 
 learned that his sister had been sold by the Indians to a white man 
 and was living in Canada not far from Detroit. He went home to 
 get more money, and a supply of clothing, before setting off for 
 Canada. It was now so late in the season that he was compelled to 
 wait until the following spring. It was late in the month of August 
 when Thomas rode into the gate of a yard which inclosed a house 
 that indicated wealth and taste in its possessor. Here he found his 
 sister, and was not a little surprised to find that James and Mary 
 Moore were in the same neighborhood. About the middle of October 
 they started for Pennsylvania, an account of which trip will be found 
 in the narrative by James Moore from Howe's History of Virginia. 
 
 It was about the middle of November when they reached Pitts- 
 burg and here they staid until the following spring, when it was 
 thought best that Martha should remain where she was, while 
 Thomas should go on with James and Mary, and return for his 
 sister. They followed Braddock's military road to Winchester; 
 thence took the route usually traveled up the valley to Augusta, 
 where the Moores found the first of their kindred. The last day of 
 their journey was a day never to be forgotten. Thomas had paid 
 out his last shilling, but that gave him no uneasiness, for he knew 
 that a few miles would take him to those who had heard the sad tale 
 of the breaking up of Captain Moore's family and from any of these 
 he felt sure of a welcome. Sometime after dark that day they reach- 
 ed the home of William McPheeters, about eight miles from Staun- 
 ton. Mrs. McPheeters was a sister of Captain Moore, and here 
 James and Mary met their grandfather and grandmother. The aged 
 grandparents were deeply affected. This night ended the wander- 
 ings of James and Mary, not quite three years after Mary's had 
 commenced, and five months short of six years after J ames had been 
 taken prisoner. After resting a clay or two Thomas went on to Eock-

 bridge County and received from the administrator of Captain 
 Moore's estate the full amount that he had expended in defraying the 
 expenses of James and Mary, but refused any additional compensa- 
 tion. 
 
 Some time in the summer he returned for his sister, whom, as 
 has been stated, he left in Pennsylvania. He was married to Ann 
 •Crow in the autumn after his sister arrived at home. He settled 
 later in Washington County, Indiana. He became the father of six 
 sons and six daughters. He was a member of the Presbyterian 
 Church, and died in 1829. 
 
 Martha Evans married Mr. Hummer. Two of her sons, William 
 and Michael, entered the ministry in the Presbyterian Church. Her 
 death occurred in the winter of 1827. 
 
 James Moore expressed a desire to return to Canada for some time 
 after he had returned to his friends in Virginia, but at last aban- 
 doned the plan. He married early in life, a Miss Taylor of Kock- 
 bridge, and settled on the farm which his father had occupied in 
 Abb's Valley, and became the father of a numerous family, who, with 
 few exceptions, reside in the same section of country. He became 
 a member of the Methodist Church. He was spared to see his de- 
 scendants of the third generation. 
 
 Mary Moore lived with her maternal grandmother for two or three 
 years after her return to Kockbridge, and afterwards with the family 
 of Joseph Walker, who had married her father's sister. In October, 
 1798, she married Eev. Samuel Brown, pastor of New Providence 
 Church. In the active discharge of the duties of this station she 
 passed many happy, busy years, the respected wife of a beloved pastor. 
 She was the mother of eleven children. Seven sons and two daugh- 
 ters lived to mature life. In no part of her life did her character 
 shine more .brightly than when she was left a widow with this family 
 of ten children, the youngest of whom was less than two years old. 
 This event occurred on the 13th day of October, 1818. Of her it 
 may be said with perfect truth she was "diligent in business, fervent 
 in spirit, serving the Lord." Blessed with health, attending dili- 
 gently and cheerfully to the interests committed to her care, she 
 passed the years of her widowhood, until it became manifest in 1823, 
 that the hand of serious disease was on her. In the meantime her 
 second daughter had married the Ptev. Samuel Morrison, who suc- 
 ceeded her husband as pastor of New Providence congregation. She 
 died April 24, 1824. A short time before her death she felt it her

 privilege to adopt the language of the apostle, "The time of my de- 
 parture is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my 
 course, I have kept the faith : henceforth there is laid up for me a 
 crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall 
 give me at that day/' 
 
 Of the seven sons of the little captive girl, five entered the minis- 
 try in the Presbyterian Church, one an elder in the church and the 
 youngest a physician. One daughter was the wife of Dr. William A. 
 Walker, and one died in early youth. All Mary's grandchildren, 
 who have arrived at the age of mature life, are members of the Pres- 
 byterian Church, two of her granddaughters have married Presby- 
 terian ministers, and three of her grandsons are preparing to enter 
 the ministry of the Presbyterian Church. 
 
 In Henry Howe's History of Virginia I found the following in- 
 teresting account of this tragedy : 
 
 "From a worthy pastor of a church in the Shenandoah Valley, we 
 have received the following account of the captivity and destruction 
 of the Moore family, by the Indians, a few years after the close of 
 the Revolution: 
 
 "James Moore, Jr., was a lineal descendant of the Rev. Samuel 
 Rutherford of Scotland; the latter being a descendant of the Rev. 
 Joseph Allein, the author of the "Alarm to the Unconverted." Mr. 
 Moore's parents were among those who, during the persecutions 
 under Charles L, emigrated from Scotland to the north of Ireland, 
 the descendants of whom, in this country, come under the general 
 name of "Scotch-Irish." From Ireland he emigrated to Virginia, 
 and settled in what is now Rockbridge County, on Walker's Creek. 
 There he married Jane Walker, and there James Moore, the subject 
 of this sketch, was born. When the latter grew up he married 
 Martha Poage, of the same county, and settled near the Natural 
 Bridge, at a place long known as "Newel's Tavern." There his 
 three oldest children, John, Joseph and James were born. About 
 the year 1775, he removed to what is now Tazewell County, and 
 settled in Abb's Valley, on the waters of Blue Stone, a branch of 
 New River. He was induced to emigrate to that country on account 
 of the fertility of the soil, and its adaptedness to raising stock. 
 There, with the aid of an old Englishman whose name was John 
 Simpson, he erected his cabin ; and with his pious wife, both being 
 members of the Presbyterian Church, he erected his altar to God, 
 cleared him a piece of ground, and there resided with his family 
 until they were destroyed — frequently going into a fort, which was 
 almost every summer. The first of his family who was captured 
 was James, his second son, a lad in the 14th year of his age. This 
 
aye of Mary Moore.

 occurred September 7th, 1784. Mr. Moore, the captive, who is still 
 living, gives this account of that event : 
 
 "My father had sent me to a waste plantation, about 24- miles 
 distant, to catch a horse on which I might go to mill. As we lived 
 about 12 miles from the mill, and the road for the whole distance 
 thither leading through a dreary wilderness, I had frequently to come 
 home a considerable part of the way after night, when it was very 
 dark. Being accustomed to this, I set out for the horse without the 
 least intimidation or apprehension of danger. But notwithstanding 
 this, I had not proceeded more than half the distance to the field, 
 before a sudden dread or panic came on me. The appearance of the 
 Indian who took me was presented to my mind, although at the 
 time I did not think of an Indian, but rather that some wild animal 
 in human shape would devour me. Such was my alarm that I went 
 on, trembling, frequently looking back, expecting to see it. Indeed 
 I would have returned home, but for the fear that with such an ex- 
 cuse my father would be displeased, and perhaps send me back. I 
 therefore proceeded on until I came near the field, when suddenly 
 three Indians sprang from behind a log, one of whom laid hold of 
 me. Being much alarmed at the time with the apprehension of being 
 devoured, and believing this to be the animal I had dreaded, I 
 screamed with all my might. The Indian who had hold of me laid 
 his hand on my head, and, in the Indian language, told me to hush. 
 Looking him in the face, and perceiving that he was an Indian, I 
 felt greatly relieved, and spoke out aloud, "It is an Indian, why need 
 I fear f and thought to myself, "All that is in it is, I will have to 
 go to the Shawnee towns."" In this company there were only three 
 Indians, a father and son, and one other ; the former bearing the 
 name of the "Black Wolf," a middle-aged man of the most stern 
 countenance I ever beheld, about six feet high, having a black beard. 
 The others I suppose were about 18 years of age, and all of the Shaw- 
 nee tribe. I belonged to Black Wolf, who had captured me. We 
 immediately proceeded to an old cabin, near to which were the horses. 
 Here we made a halt, and the old Wolf told me to catch the horses, 
 aud gave me some salt for that purpose. My object was to catch one 
 and mount and make my escape; but suspecting my intention, as 
 often as I would get hold of a horse they would come running up, 
 and thus scare him away. Finding that I could not get a horse for 
 myself, I had no wish and did not try to catch one for them, and so, 
 after a few efforts, abandoned the attempt. 
 
 "This I suppose was about one o'clock in the afternoon. The In- 
 dians then went into a thicket where were concealed their kettles and 
 blankets, afier which we immediately proceeded on our journey. 
 In consequence of the high weeds, green briers, logs, and the steep 
 and mountainous character of the country, the walking was very 
 laborious, and we traveled that evening only about 8 miles. The 
 two younger Indians went before, myself next, with old Wolf 
 in the rear. If marks were made, he would carefully remove them 
 
138 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 with his tomahawk. I frequently broke bushes, which he discovered, 
 and shook his tomahawk over my head to let me know the conse- 
 quence if I did not desist. I would then scratch the ground with 
 my feet. This he also discovered, and made me desist, showing me 
 how to set my feet flat, so as not to leave any mark. It then became 
 necessary to cease my efforts to make a trail for others, as they were 
 all immediately detected. In the evening, about sundown, old 
 Wolf gave a tremendous war-whoop, and another the next morning 
 at sunrise. These were repeated evening and morning during our 
 whole journey. It was long, loud and shrill and intended to signify 
 that they had one prisoner. Their custom is to repeat it as frequent 
 as the number of prisoners. It is different from their whoop when 
 they have scalps, and in this way it can be known as far as the whoop 
 is heard, whether they have prisoners or scalps, and also the number. 
 But to return: The night was rainy. We lay down in a laurel 
 thicket, without food or fire. Previous to this, old Wolf had 
 searched me carefully, to see whether I had a knife. After this he 
 tied one end of a leading-halter very tightly around my neck and 
 wrapped the other end around his hand, so as to make it secure as 
 well as very difficult for me to get away without waking him. Not- 
 withstanding my situation was thus dreary, gloomy and distressing, 
 I was not altogether prevented from sleep. Indeed, I suppose few 
 prisoners were ever more resigned to their fate. The next morning 
 we resumed our journey about daybreak, and continued down Tug- 
 Creek about two miles, until we reached the main ridge of Tug 
 Mountain, along which we descended until we came to Maxwell's 
 Gap. (This gap took its name from a man by the name of Maxwell, 
 who was there killed by the Indians while in pursuit of the wife of 
 Thomas English, of Burke's Garden, who had been taken by a party 
 of Indians, at the head of which was this same Wolf. ) At this place 
 old Wolf went off and brought in a middle-sized Dutch oven, 
 which had been secreted on their former expedition. The carriage of 
 this was assigned to me. At first it was fastened to my back, but. 
 after suffering much I threw it down, saying I would carry it no 
 more. Upon this old Wolf placed down his bundle and told me 
 to carry it, but on finding that I could not lift it I became more 
 reconciled, took up the oven again, and after some days filled it with 
 leaves and carried it with more ease. We continued on the same 
 ridge the whole of the day, and encamped on it at night. In the 
 evening there came on a rain, and the son of Black Wolf pulled 
 off my hat. This I resented, struck him, and took it from him. He 
 then showed me by signs that with it he wished to protect his gun- 
 lock from the rain. I then permitted him to have it, and after the 
 rain he returned it. For three days we traveled without sustenance 
 of any kind, save some water in which poplar bark had been steeped. 
 On the fourth day we killed a buffalo, took out the paunch, cut it 
 open, rinsed it a little in the water, cut it up and put it into the 
 kettle with some pieces of the flesh, and made broth. Of this we

 drank heartily, without eating any of the meat. After night we 
 made another kettle of broth, but ate no meat. This is Indian policy 
 after fasting. 
 
 "I traveled the whole route barefooted. The consequence was that 
 I had three stone-bruises on each foot, and at this time my sufferings 
 were very great. Frequently I would walk over rattlesnakes, but 
 was not permitted to kill any, the Indians considering them their 
 friends. 
 
 "Some few days after this we killed a buffalo that was very fat, 
 and dried as much of the meat as lasted us for several days. After 
 this we killed deer and buffaloes as our wants required, until we 
 reached their towns, near what is now called Chillicothe, in Ohio, 
 just 20 days from the time we set out. We crossed the Ohio between 
 the mouth of Guyandot and Big Sandy, on a raft made of dry logs 
 and tied together with grapevines. On the banks of the Scioto we 
 remained one day. Here they made pictures to represent three In- 
 dians and me their prisoner. Near this place old Wolf went off 
 and procured some bullets which he had secreted. 
 
 ' f When we came near the towns the Indians painted themselves 
 black, but did not paint me. This was an omen of my safety. I was 
 not taken directly into the town, but to the residence of Wolf's half- 
 sister, to whom I was sold for an old horse. The reason why I was 
 not taken directly to the town, was, I suppose, 1st, because it was a 
 time of peace; 2nd, that I might be saved from running the gaunt- 
 let, which was the case with prisoners taken in war. Shortly after 
 I was sold, my mistress left me entirely alone for several days in her 
 wigwam, leaving a kettle of hominy for me to eat. In this solitary 
 situation I first began to pray and call upon God for mercy and de- 
 liverance, and found great relief. Having cast my burdens on the 
 Lord, I would arise from my knees and go off cheerfully. I had been 
 taught to pray. My father prayed in his family; and I now found 
 the benefit of the religious instruction and example I had enjoyed. 
 
 "On one occasion while on our journe}-, I was sent some distance 
 for water. Supposing that I was entirely out of view, I gave vent to 
 my feelings, and wept abundantly. The old Indian, however, had 
 watched me, and noticing the marks of tears on my cheeks, he shook 
 his tomahawk over my head to let me know I must not do so again. 
 Their object in sending me off, was, I suppose, to see whether I would 
 attempt to escape, as the situation appeared favorable for that pur- 
 pose. After this I was no longer fastened with a halter. 
 
 "In about two weeks after I was sold, my mistress sent me, with 
 others, on a hunting excursion. In this we were very unsuccessful. 
 The snow being knee-deep, my blanket too short to cover me, and 
 having very little other clothing, my sufferings from hunger and 
 cold were intense. Often having lain down, and drawn up my feet 
 to get them under the blanket, I became so benumbed that it was 
 with difficulty I could straighten myself again. Early in the morn- 
 ing the old Indian would build up a fire, and make me and the young 
 
140

 Indians plunge all over in cold water. This, I think, was of great 
 benefit, as it prevented us from taking cold. 
 
 "When we returned from hunting in the spring, the old man gave 
 me up to Capt. Elliott, a trader from Detroit. But my mistress, on 
 learning this, became very angry, threatened Elliott, and got me 
 back. 
 
 "Some time in April, there was a dance at a town about two miles 
 from where I resided. This I attended, in company with the In- 
 dians with whom I belonged. Meeting with a French trader from 
 Detroit, by the name of Batest Ariome, who took a fancy to me on 
 account of my resemblance to one of his sons, he bought me for 
 50 dollars in Indian money (this consisted of silver brooches, crosses, 
 etc.) Before leaving the dance I met with a Mr. Sherlock, a trader 
 from Kentucky, who had formerly been a prisoner to this same tribe 
 of Indians, and who had rescued a lad by the name of Moffit, who 
 had been captured by the Indians on the head of the Clinch, and 
 whose father was an intimate and particular friend of my father's. 
 (Mr. Moffit had removed to Kentucky, and was then living there.) 
 I requested Mr. Sherlock to write to my father, through Mr. Moffit, 
 informing him of my captivity, and that I had been purchased by 
 a French trader, and was gone to Detroit. This letter, I have reason 
 to believe, father received, and that it gave him the first information 
 of what had become of me. 
 
 "But we must pause in this narrative, to notice the destruction 
 and captivity of the remaining part of Mr. Moore's family. 
 
 "There being only a few families in the part of Virginia where 
 Mr. Moore resided, the Indians from the Shawnee towns made fre- 
 quent incursions upon them. Consequently most of the families re- 
 turned to the more thickly settled parts of what is now Montgomery 
 Co., etc., but Mr. Moore still remained. Such was the fertility of the 
 soil, and the adaptedness of the country to grazing, that Mr. Moore 
 kept about 100 head of horses, and a good stock of cattle, which 
 principally wintered themselves. On the 14th day of July, 1786, 
 early in the morning, a gang of horses had come in from the range 
 to the lick-blocks, about 100 yards from the house, and Mr. Moore 
 had gone out to salt them. Two men also, who were living with 
 him, had gone out, and were reaping wheat. The Indians, about 30 
 in number, who were lying in ambush, watching the house, suppos- 
 ing that all the men were absent, availed themselves of the oppor- 
 tunity and rushed forward with all speed. As they advanced they 
 commenced firing, and killed two of the children, viz : William and 
 Eebecca, who were returning from the spring, and Alexander in 
 the yard. Mr. Moore attempted to get to the house, but finding it 
 surrounded, ran past it through a small pasture in which the house 
 stood. When he reached the fence he made a halt, and was shot 
 through with seven bullets. The Indians said he might have es- 
 capted if he had not stopped on the fence. After he was shot he ran 
 about 40 yards, and fell. He was then scalped by the Indians, and

 afterwards buried by the whites at the place where the body lav, and 
 where his grave may yet be seen. It was thought that when he saw 
 his family about to be massacred, without the possibility of render- 
 ing them assistance, he chose to share a like fate. There were two 
 fierce dogs, which fought like heroes until the fiercest one was killed. 
 The two men who were reaping, hearing the alarm, and seeing the 
 house surrounded, fled and alarmed the settlement. At that time 
 the nearest family was distant 6 miles. As soon as the alarm was 
 given, Mrs. Moore and Martha Evans barred the door, but this was 
 of no avail. (Miss Evans was living in the family at the time, help- 
 ing them to spin: Joseph Moore, another son, was in Rockbridge Co., 
 going to school.) There was no man in the house at the time except 
 John Simpson, the old Englishman already alluded to. and he was 
 in the loft sick and in bed. There were five or six guns in the house, 
 but having been shot off the evening before, they were then empty. 
 It was intended to have loaded them after breakfast. Martha Evans 
 took two of them and went up stairs where Simpson was, and hand- 
 ing them to him, told him to shoot. He looked up, but had been 
 shot in the head through a crack, and was then near his end. The 
 Indians then proceeded to cut down the door, which they soon effect- 
 ed. During this time Martha Evans went to the far end of the 
 house, lifted up a loose plank, and went under the floor, and re- 
 quested Polly Moore (then eight years of age), who had the young- 
 est child called Margaret in her arms (who was crying), to set the 
 child down and come under. Polly looked at the child, clasped it 
 to her breast, and determined to share its fate. The Indians having 
 broken into the house, took Mrs. Moore and her children, viz : John, 
 Jane, Polly and Peggy prisoners, and having taken everything that 
 suited them, they set it and the other buildings on fire, and then 
 went away. I\Iartha Evans remained under the floor a short time, 
 then came out and hid herself under a log that lay across a branch 
 not far from the house. The Indians having tarried a short time 
 with the view of catching horses, one of them walked across this log, 
 sat down on the end of it, and begun to fix his gun-lock. Miss 
 Evans supposing that she was discovered, and that he was preparing 
 to shoot her, came out and gave herself up. At this he seemed much 
 pleased. They then set out for their towns. Perceiving that John 
 Moore was a weak boy in body and mind, and unable to travel, they 
 killed him the first day. The babe they took two or three days, but 
 it being fretful, on account of a wound it had received, they dashed 
 its brains out against a tree. They then moved on with haste to 
 their towns. For some time it was usual to tie very securely each of 
 the prisoners at night, and for a warrior to lie beside each of them 
 with tomahawk in hand, so that in case of pursuit the prisoners 
 might be speedily dispatched. Their manner of traveling was very 
 much like that described by James Moore. Xot unfrequently they 
 were several days without food, and when they killed game^ their 
 habit was to make broth as described by him. When they came to 
 
142 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 the banks of the Scioto, they carefully pointed out to Mrs. Moore 
 and the prisoners, the hieroglyphics mentioned in the narrative of 
 James Moore. When they reached their town (which was the one 
 to which James Moore had been taken), they were soon assembled 
 in council, when an old man made a long speech to them dissuading 
 them from war ; but at the close of it the warriors shook their heads 
 and retired. This old man afterwards took Polly Moore into his 
 family, where he and his wife seemed greatly to commiserate her 
 situation, and showed her all possible kindness. 
 
 "Shortly after they reached the towns, Mrs. Moore and her daugh- 
 ter Jane were put to death, being burned and tortured at the stake. 
 This lasted some time, during which she manifested the utmost 
 Christian fortitude, and bore it without a murmur — at intervals 
 conversing with her daughter Polly and Martha Evans, and express- 
 ing great anxiety for the moment to arrive when her soul should 
 wing its way to the bosom of her Savior. 
 
 "At length an old squaw, more humane than the rest, dispatched 
 her with a tomahawk. James Moore says that he learned from 
 Martha Evans that the murder of these prisoners was committed by 
 a party of Cherokee Indians, who were returning from a war excur- 
 sion in which they had lost some of their party. That in conse- 
 quence of this they became exasperated, fell upon the prisoners and 
 put them to death. 
 
 "This tribe of Indians proving very troublesome to the whites, it 
 was repeatedly contemplated to send an expedition against their 
 town. This it is probable Martha Evans in some measure postponed, 
 by sending communications through the traders, urging the probable 
 fate of the prisoners, if it were done immediately. In November, 
 two years afterwards, however, such an expedition did go out. The 
 Indians were aware of it from about the time it started, and when it 
 drew near they concealed what they could not carry off, and with the 
 prisoners, deserted their towns. About this time Polly Moore had 
 serious thoughts of concealing herself until the arrival of the whites, 
 but fearing the consequence of a greater delay in their arrival than 
 she might anticipate, she did not attempt it. 
 
 "Late in November, however, the expedition did arrive, and after 
 having burned their towns, destroyed their corn, etc., returned home. 
 After this the Indians returned to their towns; but winter having 
 set in, and finding themselves without houses or food, they were 
 greatly dispirited, and went to Detroit, where, giving themselves up 
 to great excess in drinking, they sold Polly Moore to a man who lived 
 in or near a little village by the name of French Town, near the 
 western end of Lake Erie, for half a gallon of rum. Though at 
 this time the winters were very severe, the released captive had 
 nothing to protect her feet but a pair of deerskin moccasins, and the 
 state of her other clothing will presently appear. But it is now time 
 to resume the narrative of J ames Moore : 
 
 "Mr. and Mrs. Ariome were to me parents indeed. They treated 
 
JOHX WALKER. 
 
 143 
 
 me like one of their own sons. I ate at their table, and slept with 
 their sons in a good feather bed. They always gave me good council, 
 and advised me (particularly Mrs. Ariome) not to abandon the idea 
 of returning to my friends. I worked on the farm with his sons, and 
 occasionally assisted him in his trading expeditions. We traded at 
 different places, and sometimes went a considerable distance into the 
 country. On one of these occasions, four young Indians began to 
 boast of their bravery, and among other things said that one Indian 
 could whip four white men. This provoked me, and I told them that 
 I could whip all four of them. They immediately attacked me ; but 
 Mr. Ariome hearing the noise, came and took me away. This I con- 
 sider a kind providence; for the Indians are very unskilful in box- 
 ing, and in this manner of fighting, I could easily have whipped all 
 of them; but when they begun to find themselves worsted, I expected 
 them to attack me with clubs, or some other weapon, and if so, had 
 laid my plans to kill them all with a knife which I had concealed in 
 my belt, mount a fleet horse which was close at hand, and escape to 
 Detroit. 
 
 "It was on one of these trading expeditions that I first heard of 
 the destruction of fathers family. This I learned through a Shaw- 
 nee Indian with whom I had been acquainted when I lived with them 
 and who was one of the party on that occasion. I received this in- 
 formation some time in the summer after it occurred. In the fol- 
 lowing winter I learned that my sister Polly had been purchased by 
 a Mr. Stogwell, an American by birth, but unfriendly to the Ameri- 
 can cause. He was a man of bad character, an unfeeling wretch, and 
 treated my sister with great unkindness. At that time he resided a 
 considerable distance from us. When I heard of my sister, I im- 
 mediately prepared to go and see her; but as it was then in the dead 
 of winter, and the journey would have been attended with great 
 difficulties, on being told by Mr. Stogwell that he intended to remove 
 to the neighborhood where I resided in the following spring, I de- 
 clined it. When I heard that Mr. Stogwell had removed, as was 
 contemplated, 1 immediately went to see her. I found her in the 
 most abject condition, almost naked, being clothed with only a few 
 dirty and tattered rags, exhibiting to my mind an object of pity in- 
 deed. It is impossible to describe my feelings on that occasion; sor- 
 row and joy were both combined; and I have no doubt the feelings 
 of my sister were similar to my own. On being advised, I applied 
 to the commanding officer at Detroit, informing him of her treat- 
 ment, with the hope of effecting her release. I went with Mr. Simon 
 Girty to Col. McKee, the superintendent for the Indians, who had 
 Mr. Stogwell brought to trial to answer to the complaint against 
 him. But I failed to procure her release. It was decided, however, 
 that when an opportunity should occur for our returning to our 
 friends, she should be released without remuneration. This was 
 punctually performed on application of Mr. Thomas Evans, who 
 had come in search of his sister Martha, already alluded to, who had 
 
144 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 been purchased from the Indians by some family in the neighbor- 
 hood, and was at that time living with a Mr. Donaldson, a worthy 
 and wealthy English farmer, and working for herself. 
 
 "All now being at liberty, we made preparations for our jonrney 
 to our distant friends, and set out, I think, some time in the month 
 of October, 1789, it being little more than five years from the time 
 of my captivity, and a little more than three years from the time of 
 the captivity of my sister and Martha Evans. (James Moore had, 
 in the meantime, become so much attached to the family of Mr. 
 Ariome, and especially to one of his daughters, that he would have 
 been contented to remain had it not been for his sister.) A trading 
 boat coming down the lakes, we obtained a passage for myself and 
 sister to the Moravian towns, a distance of about 200 miles, and on 
 our route to Pittsburg. There, according to appointment, we met 
 with Mr. Evans and his sister, the day after our arrival. He had 
 in the meantime procured three horses, and we immediately set out 
 for Pittsburg. Fortunately for us, a party of friendly Indians, from 
 these towns, were about starting on a hunting excursion, and accom- 
 panied us for a considerable distance on our route, which was through 
 a wilderness, and the hunting-ground of an unfriendly tribe. On 
 one of the nights during our journey, we encamped near a large 
 party of these hostile Indians. The next morning four or five of 
 their warriors, painted red, came into our camp. This much alarm- 
 ed us. They made many inquiries, but did not molest us, which 
 might not have been the case if we had not been in company with 
 other Indians. After this nothing occurred worthy of notice until 
 we reached Pittsburg. Probably we would have reached Eockbridge 
 that fall if Mr. Evans had not unfortunately got his shoulder dis- 
 located. In consequence of this, we remained until spring with an 
 uncle of his in the vicinity of Pittsburg. Having expended nearly 
 all of his money in traveling and for a physician, he left his 
 sister, and proceeded on with sister Polly and myself to the house of 
 our uncle, Wm. McPheeters, about 10 miles southwest of Staunton, 
 near the Middle Eiver. (This property is now in the possession of 
 Mr. George Shne. The Eev. Dr. Wm. McPheeters informed the 
 writer that he remembered the time.) He received from uncle 
 Joseph Moore, the administrator of father's estate, compensation for 
 his services, and afterwards returned and brought his sister. 
 
 "Here the narrative of Mr. Moore closes. He remained several 
 years with his friends in Eockbridge County, but subsequently re- 
 turned to the plantation of his father, where he still resides, having 
 raised a large family; himself a highly respectable member of the 
 Methodist Church; in connection with which, also, are many of his 
 children, and his brother Joseph, who is a resident of the same coun- 
 ty. Martha Evans married a man by the name of Hummer, emi- 
 grated to Indiana, and reared a family of children. Two of her sons 
 are ministers in the Presbyterian Church — one in the Presbytery of 
 Crawfordsville, and the other in the Presbytery of Iowa.

 "An incident in the captivity of Polly Moore has been omitted, 
 too interesting to be passed over without notice : 
 
 "At the time she became a prisoner, notwithstanding her father, 
 two brothers, and a sister had just been murdered, herself and the 
 rest captured, and the house set on fire, she took up two testaments, 
 one of which she kept the whole time of her captivity, and that too 
 when she was but eight years of age. (The other was stolen from her 
 while with the Indians.) She did not long continue with Mr. Mc- 
 Pheeters, but lived with her uncle Joseph Walker, on Buffalo Creek, 
 about six miles south of Lexington, in Eockbridge County. (This 
 plantation was afterwards owned by Mr. John Donahue, who kept 
 a tavern. It is now owned by Mr. Moffit.) At the age of twelve 
 she was baptized, and admitted into full communion with the Pres- 
 byterian Church. When she grew up, she married the Eev. Samuel 
 Brown, a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman of the same county, 
 and pastor of Xew Providence congregation. 
 
 "She became the mother of twelve children. Of these, one died 
 in infancy, another while quite young, and of the others, one is rul- 
 ing elder in the church, another married a pious physician, another 
 a clergyman, five are Presbyterian ministers in Virginia, and the 
 remaining one is a communicant in the church. Her last legacy 
 was a Bible to each of her children. 
 
 "At the north end of the graveyard near Xew Providence church, 
 14 miles north of Lexington, is the grave of Mary Moore."

 A. T. Still with two older brothers attended Holston College, 
 Tenn., before the family removed to Kansas; enlisted at Leaven- 
 worth, Kan., in 9th Kansas Cavalry, Company F, Sept. 1861; or- 
 dered from Leavenworth to Kansas City to complete their outfit; 
 placed under Jas. H. Lane's Brigade, Lane having been commission- 
 ed to organize a Western army. The company marched to Spring- 
 field, then were ordered back to Ft. Scott ; were continually besieged 
 by "Bushwhackers" until a Colorado Brigade came to their relief. 
 Third Battalion of Company 9 disbanded April 1, 1862. A. T. Still 
 then organized and was made Captain of Company D, 18th Kansas 
 Militia, with orders to drill his men once a week and patrol the "Old 
 Santa Fe Trail" running from Kansas City to Old Mexico. This 
 continued until 1862, when he was made Major of the 18th Kansas 
 Militia; was continually in service until Oct. 1864, when the order 
 came to disband. This was soon after the memorable battles in and 
 around Kansas City, in which Joe Shelby, Gen. Price and other 
 noted Confederates were routed. Dr. Still is known as the founder 
 of Osteopathy, which science he has practiced since 1874. His theory 
 and practice occasioned much ridicule at first but has finally been 
 accepted as a great truth. He has built up a wonderful school at 
 Kirksville, Mo., with believers and followers in every state in the 
 Union. His four children are graduates of his School of Osteopathy. 
 The sons are practicing physicians and the daughter is her father's 
 secretary and assistant. The children of this family are six as

 Bev. Samuel Kutherford Houston, who married Margaret Walker 4 
 (Jos. 3 , John 2 , Alex. 1 ), left a record of his Walker relatives, from 
 which much of the family history has been learned. The manu- 
 script is in the possession of his son, Judge Wm. P. Houston of Lex- 
 ington, Va., and was kindly loaned me by him. 
 
 Bev. S. B. Houston says in his Mss. : "The material for the gen- 
 ealogy of the descendants of Alexander (son of John Walker, the 
 emigrant) was obtained from Bev. B. C. Walker and Elder J. A. 
 Walker, sons of Elder Thomas H. Walker, of New Providence 
 Church; Dr. Zachariah Walker, of Brownsburg, Va. ; Major Alex- 
 ander B. Stuart, of Bockbridge; my mother, Margaret Walker Hous- 
 ton, aged 83 years; three aged sisters of Col. Archibald B. Walker; 
 W. L. Moore, son of James Moore, of Tazewell County, Va. (brother 
 of Mary Moore of Baleigh County, Va.), and from a Mss. left by 
 Dr. Wm. M. McPheeters, of North Carolina. 
 
 "All of this family were so far as I am advised members of the 
 Presbyterian Church. Many of them were Elders. My father, 
 grandfather and great grandfather were Elders in New Providence 
 Church, Bockbridge County. I have it from several authentic 
 sources that Bev. Samuel Butherford, author of Rutherford's Let- 
 ters, was closely related to Bev. John Butherford, father of Kath- 
 erine, who married John Walker. 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 "My mother told rne that James Moore was a very strict Presby- 
 terian in his religious sentiments and practice, was noted for his 
 piety,, and that he instructed his children early in the principles of 
 the Gospel. Often after family worship, he would question them on 
 the passages of the Bible which had been read. She added that dur- 
 ing his last days when he was no longer able to attend to regular 
 business, he lived a good deal at the homes of his children, making 
 himself useful in many ways. He died in the 91st or 92nd year of 
 his age. 
 
 "My grandparents, Joseph C. Walker and Jane (Moore) Walker, 
 I remember with sentiments of strange affection. I spent many 
 happy days at their home during my boyhood. When my grand- 
 father died my father made it known to the scholars of his school; 
 the announcement was followed by solemn prayer. My grandfather 
 was by trade a gunsmith. He amassed considerable wealth. He 
 owned for twelve years a valuable farm near Lexington, now called 
 'Mulberry Hill/* It was afterwards owned b}~ Andrew Eeid, who 
 was for many years county clerk of Eockbridge County, and a large 
 landholder. Joseph C. Walker was energetic and industrious. After 
 disposing of his farm near Lexington, he bought a large tract em- 
 bracing 'The Bent of Buffalo Creek,* to which he added another 
 valuable tract, giving the first one to his son, J. C. Walker, who 
 built thereon a large sawmill. At the time of his death Iris home 
 was one of the most comfortable and valuable in the count}'. For 
 many years he served the county as Magistrate; was Elder in the 
 Falling Spring Church, where my father was paster. 
 
 "My grandmother, too, I remember as a pious woman, ministering 
 ■often to the afflicted ones of her acquaintance, and was an active 
 worker in the church of which she was a member. Being an aunt 
 of Mary Moore, the captive, she took the redeemed prisoner to her 
 home and provided for her until she grew up and was married to 
 Eev. Samuel Brown. 
 
 "I recollect hearing my mother say that her grandfather, John 
 Walker, who was a nephew of John Walker, the emigrant, came from 
 Ireland to America as a sailor and married in Pennsylvania Mar- 
 garet Culton, the daughter of an Irishman named Joseph Culton. 
 He was a very strict Presbyterian and lived to be a very old man. 
 I remember to have seen nry greatuncle, William Walker, who mar- 
 ried Mary Stuart. He was a gunsmith by trade, and I remember 
 that he was lame. His home was on Walker's Creek, two miles above 
 
152 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 the residence of Thomas H. Walker. I also knew and visited with 
 the family of Alexander Walker, who married Jane Stuart. I met 
 four of his children in Raleigh County, W. Va. These were Eliza- 
 beth, Melinda, Priscilla and Col. Archibald Briscom W^alker. 
 
 "Mrs. Martha Ann Dale wrote to me in 1878 as follows : 'Cousin 
 Susan Donihue Bakewell came to father's and stayed a few weeks 
 on her way to Kentucky. When she returned she remained almost 
 a year with us. In 1847-48 father and mother paid a visit to our 
 relatives in Michigan, and cousin Jane Donihue came home with 
 them and stayed all summer. Mother described Aunt Donihue's 
 home as being very pleasantly situated on an eminence overlooking 
 St. Clair River, and commanding a beautiful view of the surround- 
 ing country, the view of the lakes from there being extremely in- 
 teresting/ " 
 
 After James Moore and Martha Poage were married they lived 
 several years at ISTewell's Tavern, a few miles south of the Natural 
 Bridge. His first four children were born there. In the fall of 
 1775 they removed to "Abb's Valley" in Tazewell County, Va. 
 Here he had a good farm, which yielded abundantly for his family 
 and stock. There, five other children were born, Mary, Rebecca, 
 Alexander, William and Margaret. James was captured in 1784 
 and redeemed in 1789 (see chapter on "Abb's Valley"). The 
 mother, after a march of 40 days, was cruelly burned. Rebecca, 
 Alexander and William were shot down near the house. Margaret, 
 15 months old, was killed, after being carried a short distance. The 
 father of this family was a man of courage. He fought bravely at 
 the battle of Guilford. Both he and his wife were very pious and 
 endeavored to bring up their family in the fear of the Lord. The 
 son James married and reared a large family. He had 12 children, 
 B6 grandchildren and a large number of great grandchildren in 
 1883. 
 
 Wm. T. Moore, from whom I obtained most of the information 
 regarding this family, was living in Tazewell County in 1883. 
 
 Rev. J. C. Carson says of him: "Here you will find Wm. T. 
 Moore, the son of James Moore, who was a fellow captive and brother 
 of the captive Mary Moore, an intelligent old gentleman of 81 years, 
 living within 150 yards of the site of the old home. He will take 
 you to the place where his grandfather's house stood and show where 
 the fearful tragedy occurred." 
 
 Mary Moore, the captive, was named for her father's sister, Mary, 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 who married Major Stuart. She made a profession of religion at 
 Falling Spring Church. Through life she retained a strong attach- 
 ment for the wild people with whom she lived as a captive for sev- 
 eral years. She was a very pious woman. Of her seven sons, five 
 were ministers of the gospel, one a worthy elder in the church, and 
 one daughter became the wife of a minister, Rev. James Morrison 
 of North Carolina, who succeeded his father-in-law as pastor of the 
 New Providence Church. Martha Poage's mother's name was Jane 
 Somers. Her father was a brother of Robert Poage. James Moore 
 served in the Indian Wars ; was always called Captain. 
 
 MARY Moore 4 (799) (James 3 , Jane 2 , John 1 ); b. in 1777, the 
 exact date is not known, the family register having been destroyed 
 at the time of the Indian raid June 14, 1786 ; m. Rev. Samuel Brown 
 Oct. 9, 1798. He was a son of Henry and Alice Baird Brown; was 
 educated at Liberty Hall; licensed to preach in 1793; accepted a call 
 to New Providence Church in Rockbridge County in 1796, where 
 he labored faithfully until the time of his death which occurred 
 Oct. 15, 1818. In addition to his pastoral duties he carried on a 
 select classical school. Among other distinguished pupils whom he 
 taught we find the names of Dr. Wilson of Union Theological Semi- 
 nary, Gov. James McDowell, Gov. McNutt of Mississippi, and Sam- 
 uel McDowell Moore. 
 
 Mary Moore Brown died April 24, 1824. She was buried in New 
 Providence graveyard by the side of her husband. There stands in 
 "Abb's Valley" to-day a little church built by some of their descend- 
 ants to the memory of James and Mary Moore. Their 11 children

 law, Dr. Wm. Walker of Tennessee ; completed his course 
 at the University of Virginia; resided in Eussellville, 
 Tenn., where he practiced his profession until the time 
 of his death ; was considered a competent and skillful phy- 
 sician, and most generous — was never known to charge a 
 poor patient, whom he thought unable to pay for his ser- 
 vices. He died April 30, 1851, and was buried at Russell- 
 ville, Tenn.; never married.

 of a church in Berkley County, W. Va., for ten years ; served on the

 Church, where he labored about 26 years. For a number of years 
 he taught a classical school in Charleston. He wrote "Captives of 
 Abb's Valley" (see extracts from this interesting narrative else- 
 where). 
 
 James Moore Brown, D. D., married Mary Ann Bell, daughter of 
 John Bell, a merchant of Winchester, Va., Sept. 26, 1826. She was 
 a woman well fitted for a pastor's wife. Dr. Stuart Robinson loved 
 to acknowledge that it was from her, as his foster mother, that he 
 received that direction of. heart and mind which fitted him for the 
 services of the Church. She trained three sons for the ministry, 
 only one however was long spared to thus labor. She survived her 
 husband nearly 24 years, dying at her home in Charleston, Nov. 13, 
 1885. They had six children, viz:

 the first call of the State of Virginia was made for her defense, he 
 joined a cavalry in his native county, in which he served as a private 
 with true courage and untiring energy, from the first disaster of that 
 long and bloody warfare until the battle of Gettysburg. On the day 
 of that battle the regiment of cavalry next his own was routed and 
 the colors were left on the ground, the bearer being slain. Braving 
 the storm of death that was raging, young Morrison came forward, 
 raised them and assisted the Colonel in rallying his command, led 
 them in a victorious charge, and then retired to his place in his own 
 regiment, amidst the applause of the two regiments. After the bat- 
 tle of Gettysburg he was appointed Lieutenant of the 5 8th infantry. 
 At Spottsylvania, during the battle of "The Wilderness,"' and in the 
 combat of May 8th, he bore himself in such manner as to win the 
 enthusiastic approbation of the full command. But exposure and 
 other hardships incident to a soldier's life brought on disease from 
 which he died, as truly a martyr to his country's cause as any that 
 perished on the battlefield.

 Captain James A. Walker, the senior elder of Xew Providence 
 Church, in the County of Rockbridge, Ya., died on the 9th day of 
 April, 1897. He was born on the 8th day of August, 1822, and bap- 
 tized as a child of the covenant on the 6th of October next ensuing. 
 He was the second child of Thomas Walker and Betsey Culton, his 
 wife. Two other children, Rev. Robert C. Walker, for many years 
 Stated Clerk of Lexington Presbytery, and Mrs. Margaret McCutch- 
 an, of Missouri, were born into the family, both of whom, some four 
 years ago, preceded him to the grave. His father, Thomas Walker, 
 as had been several of his ancestors, was an elder of Xew Providence, 
 and brought up his children after the old staunch discipline of his 
 Presbyterian ancestry. The family came into the Yalley of Yirginia 
 from the Xorth of Ireland, whither they had emigrated from Scot- 
 land in the year 1680, among the earliest settlers in the year 1734, 
 and helped to build the first log church which, in memory of the 
 Providence Church in Ireland from which they had come, they call- 
 ed Xew Providence. There were two families of Walkers among 
 the first settlers ; they were closely related, but not of the same house- 
 hold. The heads of these families were uncle and nephew, and both 
 named John; they were distinguished as "Gun-maker* John and 
 
170 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 "Gun-stocker" John. The brave emigrants, buried in the wilder- 
 ness, were dependent on themselves for everything, and arms were a 
 necessity in the neighborhood of the warlike savages of the moun- 
 tains. Gunmaker John Walker made the locks and barrels of the 
 rifles on the anvil of his shop, and G-unstocker John made the wood- 
 work. The gallant uncle and nephew took up lands on both sides of 
 the rapid stream which still bears their name, flowing parallel to the 
 mountain range some two miles distant. James A. Walker was a 
 descendant of the Gunstocker J ohn, whose wife was Katherine Ruth- 
 erford, daughter of Rev. John Rutherford of Scotland, and was 
 bom and spent his long life on the lands taken up by his ancestor 
 and held intact by each successive generation of his fathers. 
 
 On the 6th day of June, 1841, he was received into the commun- 
 ion of the Church, and in April, 1858, was chosen and ordained as 
 one of the original board of deacons of New Providence. This office 
 he served with his usual fidelity until transferred to the eldership, 
 September 17, 1865. He was an active and faithful servant in every 
 relation he sustained to the church. For many years he was assist- 
 ant superintendent of the Sabbath-school and teacher of a Bible class 
 of young men and ladies until the gradual failure of his health re- 
 stricted him to an afternoon Sunday-school in his own neighbor- 
 hood. Here he continued to teach until the peremptory summons 
 of advancing age and decaying strength required him to cease. He 
 conducted the neighborhood prayer-meeting of his section of the con- 
 gregation until disabled by infirmity. The long decays of his later 
 life, and the gradual restriction of his active exertions bore hardly 
 on his warin affections, and made the trials of his old age the more 
 severe. 
 
 Captain Walker married on the 25th of September, 1851, Mary 
 Evelyn Brown, daughter of Daniel Brown and Elizabeth McChes- 
 ney, and the grand-daughter of Rev. Samuel Brown and Mary 
 Moore, the Captive of Abb's Valley; four sons and four daugh- 
 ters were the issue of this marriage. Mrs. Walker was a woman of 
 strong sense and sterling character, and was always the trusted coun- 
 sellor of her husband. Although delicate in health for many years, 
 she survives him. 
 
 The personal character of Captain Walker was one of sterling in- 
 tegrity. He commanded the confidence and respect of the whole 
 community. His vigorous and well-balanced understanding made 
 him a safe adviser in matters of business as well as in all ecclesiasti-

 cal affairs. He was a well-informed and thoughtful student of re- 
 ligious truth, and distinguished by a staunch adherance to the prin- 
 ciples of the Presbyterian system. He was remarkably independent 
 in the formation of his views and firm in the assertion of them. His 
 piety was devoted ; his interest in the spiritual welfare of the Church, 
 and the salvation of men, never seemed to flag. He was eminently 
 a man of prayer, and his thoughts were to an unusual degree always 
 alive to the realities of the world to come. He was always ready for 
 the introduction of spiritual ideas, and for the effort to bring men 
 to the obedience of faith. He was particularly noted for his stead- 
 fast support of the pastors who successively filled the pastoral office 
 during his day. He was eminent in his office as elder, in its several 
 and joint functions alike. Prudent, faithful, watchful and full of 
 sympathy for all who were in trouble, he approved himself a work- 
 man who needed not to be ashamed. He was prompt in visiting the 
 people, especially the aged and the sick, in conversing with the im- 
 penitent, in instructing the young, in encouraging the despondent. 
 In his own household he was a model of affection and fidelity. His 
 death has made a gap in all his public and private relations which 
 cannot be filled. The loss of such an elder is a calamity to the 
 church; the loss of such a citizen is a loss to the community and the 
 state. To him the change is no doubt one of transcendent gain; to 
 the survivors on this side of the mystic stream, it is a bereavement 
 which is, nevertheless, colored high with encouragement and hope. 
 "After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well," and the day is at hand.

 MAEGAEET Moore (1068); in. Eev. Eobert Logan. He had 
 the refusal of the tutorship in Hampden Sidney when John H. Eice 
 applied for it. Upon being visited by Mr. Eice upon the subject, he 
 gave up his right and recommended his friend to be tutor. He was 
 born in Bethel congregation, Augusta County, September, 1769. 
 He was reared piously in the strictness of the Presbyterian faith 
 and customs, one of a large family of children, all of whom became 
 professing members of the Church. His literary and Theological 
 course was passed at Liberty Hall under the care of the Eev. Wm. 
 Graham. Upon being licensed to preach the gospel, he made some 
 missionary excursions, and visited Genessee County in New York,

 and made an excursion to New England, visited Kentucky, and 
 finally settled in Fincastle, Botetourt County. While in Kentucky, 
 he married Miss Margaret Moore, from Walker's Creek, Eockbridge 
 County, Virginia. For many years he was the frontier minister. 
 Mr. Houston, at the Natural Bridge, was his nearest neighbor north, 
 and Mr. Mcllhenney of Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, west. Eev. 
 Samuel H. McNutt was for a time his neighbor on New Eiver. With 
 a wide field around him, and a disposition to occupy it, he was com- 
 pelled to teach a classical and promiscuous school a greater part of 
 the time he was in the ministry, to obtain a decent support for his 
 family. His life, therefore, was monotonous and his opportunities 
 for improvement very limited; while his labors were great and un- 
 remitted, except as sickness sometimes caused him to intermit his 
 regular course. Salem, now in Eoanoke, shared with Fincastle in 
 his principal labors ; and as his strength enabled him, he visited the 
 surrounding counties with the messages of mercy. Occasionally he 
 would dismiss his school, and try the practicability of living as a 
 minister of Christ disengaged from all business but the especial 
 duties of the office to which he had been ordained. On one of these 
 occasions, having stated his intentions and hopes to Mr. Speece, and 
 the amount of expenditure he thought would supply the wants of 
 his family, and how it was to be obtained, that brother remarked 
 that brother Logan's faith must be very strong to live in Fincastle 
 on his salary. 
 
 Mr. Logan died October, 1828, in his 60th year, having preached 
 in Fincastle about thirty years. Though his church and congrega- 
 tion were not large there were some members of both for whom he 
 had the highest regard. His remains lie near the church in Fin- 
 castle. — Taken from Footers Sketches of Virginia.

 SAMUEL Walker 2 (10) (John 1 ) ; purchased land and establish- 
 ed a home in Virginia about 1740, leaving Chester County, Pa., 
 whither he had come with his father about 1735 from Newry, Ire- 
 land, where Samuel was born Dec. 25, 1714. He was m. to Jane 
 Patterson Dec. 5, 1740, in Virginia. In tracing the Patterson name 
 intermarriages occur frequently with the Walker family. The old 
 Eutherford Bible shows both names recorded therein soon after the 
 emigration to America. He d. Feb., 1793. She d. Jan. 10, 1800,

 Mrs. James E. Gray of Atlanta, sends the following in regard to 
 land granted to Samuel Walker : "Samuel Walker obtained a grant 
 of land in Bedford County, Va., July 20, 1768, also one April 6, 
 1769, in Augusta County, Va., and another in Botetourt County, 
 Va., March 1, 1773. See records kept at Eichmond, Va., Land 
 Office." These grants were no doubt given on account of service in 
 the Colonial Wars, as Samuel Walker's name appears in a list of 
 Colonial Militia under Capt. John Buchanan. This company was 
 from Augusta County, Va., and was in service in 1742. — See Vir-

 meeting house, on the Cowpasture, at the house of Mr. James 
 Hodges, on the fourth Wednesday of November, 1783. He made 
 frequent visits to the southwestern frontiers as a missionary; and in 
 the year 1789, removed to Tennessee, and took up his abode on the 
 Holston, about four miles from Knoxville, in sight of Boyd's Ferry. 
 In 1794, at the opening of the Territorial Legislature in February, 
 he preached before that body, at their invitation, on the second day 
 of their session. He was chosen by the Legislature as President of 
 Blount College, named in honor of the Governor, now known as the 
 East Tennessee University. He organized the first regular Presby- 
 terian Church in Tennessee, at the junction of the French Broad 
 and the Holston, called Lebanon; and soon after, the church in 
 Knoxville. He held the pastorate of these two churches and the 
 presidency of the college, till 1803, when he resigned the charge of 
 Lebanon. The ofhce of President of the College, and pastor of the 
 church in Knoxville, he held till his sudden death. From the his- 
 torical sermon delivered by the Eev. E. B. McMullen, pastor of the 
 first Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, March 25, 1855, the author- 
 ity for some of the preceding facts, we also learn that among the 
 elders of those two churches were numbered James White, George 
 McNutt, John Adair, Archibald Rhea, Dr. James Cosby and Thomas 
 Gillespie. White, McNutt and Adair were members of the conven- 
 tion for forming the constitution of the state. McNutt was from 
 Virginia; White and Adair from North Carolina. The death of 
 Mr. Carrick was ordered in very peculiar circumstances, in his 50th 
 year. The usual summer sacramental meeting had come. He spent 
 much of the night of the 5th of August, 1809, in preparatory study 
 for the duties of the occasion. Very early on the morning of the 6th 
 he was stricken with apoplexy, and in a few moments his spirit was 
 with his Redeemer. — Taken from Foote's Sketches of Virginia.

 SAMUEL MAETIX IXMAX (1176). 
 
 Samuel Martin Inman, merchant, Atlanta, Ga., head of a firm 
 doing the largest cotton business in the world, was born in Dand- 
 ridge, Jefferson County, Tenn., Eeb. 19, 1843, the son of S. AY. and 
 Jane Martin Inman. S. W. Inman, a prosperous planter of the 
 early days, who taught his children to speak the truth and fear God, 
 and whose own life was regulated by that principle. Samuel was 
 brought up on the Inman plantation, well known in East Tennessee 
 for its fertile and fine location in the valley of the French Broad

 Eiver. During boyhood he attended the public schools and was then 
 sent to Princeton College, where he is remembered for ability and 
 popularity. 
 
 In 1861, Mr. Inman enlisted in the Confederate army as a mem- 
 ber of Company K, 1st Tennessee Cavalry. He rose to a lieutenancy 
 and served unflinchingly until the end of the war. 
 
 Locating for a short while in Augusta, Ga., in 1867, he removed 
 to Atlanta. There he engaged in cotton buying with his father, of 
 S. W. Inman & Co. With youthful energy at its head it gradually 
 extended its operations until it became the leading firm in the South, 
 and in fact in the world in the purchase and compressing of cotton. 
 The firm now transacts a great business. Its principal offices are in 
 Atlanta, Ga., and Houston, Tex., and the firm is represented by 
 buyers in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, 
 Louisiana and Indian Territory. Mr. Inman has made the business 
 extremely profitable. He is a large owner of growing real estate and 
 a director in the Atlanta Home Insurance Company and other local 
 corporations. 
 
 In 1868 Mr. Inman married Miss Jennie Dick of Eome, Ga., a 
 refined and charming woman. She died in 1890, leaving a daugh- 
 ter and two sons. In her memory Mr. Inman established the J ennie 
 D. Inman Orphanage in Atlanta and pledged $2500 a year for ten 
 years and an equal sum from other sources for its support. Mr. 
 Inman was married a second time in 1893 to Mildred McPheeters 
 of Ealeigh, N. C. He is noted for philanthropy and has been a large 
 contributor to the funds of the Young Men's Christian Association, 
 having also been one of the pioneers in the movement for a techno- 
 logical school, to which he gave $5000 and assumed the responsibility 
 of raising $75,000 more. 
 
 For a number of years he has been an elder in the First Presby- 
 terian Church. The Southern Society of New York claims him for 
 a member. — Copied from America's Successful Men, 1896. 
 
 Since the above was published Mr. Inman's firm has changed and 
 for three years he has been in New York City, only spending a few 
 months of the year in Atlanta. 
 
 Shadrach Walker Inman' s three sons, Samuel M., Hugh T. and 
 John H. have been more than successful. They have amassed large 
 fortunes, are officers in the Presbyterian churches, are consistent 
 Christians, etc.

 Samuel and John were in the Civil War. At the close of the war, 
 John went to Yew York with his uncle, Win. Harden Inman. They 
 both amassed large fortunes, and at their death left several millions 
 to their children. John H. died suddenly in the prime of life about 
 two years ago, leaving an interesting family of four sons and two 
 daughters. William Harden Inman died in 1887, leaving three 
 daughters and one son, Eobert Walker. The son, Eobert W., was 
 drowned in Yew York Bay Aug. 27, 1895, aged 3-1 years. He was 
 unmarried and the name dies with him in that line. His two mar- 
 ried sisters have no children.

 1177. John H. Inman was born in Jefferson County, Tennessee, 
 on October 23, 1811. At an early age he entered, as a clerk, a Geor- 
 gia bank of which his uncle was president. At the outbreak of the 
 war he enlisted in the Confederate army. At the close of the war his 
 family was penniless and he was obliged to leave home. He came 
 
186 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 to New York without money, but achieved extraordinary success. 
 Entering a cotton house as a clerk, he was made a partner of the firm 
 in 1868, and two years later, taking his former employer into part- 
 nership, Mr. Inman founded the firm of Inman, Swan & Company. 
 Mr. Inman extended his efforts to the development of Southern in- 
 terests and resources, in which work he took a commanding place. 
 Indeed, it has been said that he, more than anyone else since the war, 
 was instrumental in enlisting Northern capital in Southern develop- 
 ment. He secured the investment of several million dollars in coal 
 and iron mines and in railroad construction in Tennessee. He was 
 a large investor in and director of the Louisville, Nashville and Rich- 
 mond Terminal system. He was also interested in various other 
 southern railwa}^. 
 
 In this city his interests were many and varied. He was a director 
 in several banks, insurance companies, and other institutions. Mr. 
 Inman was a member of the original Rapid Transit Commission, but 
 resigned June 8, 1893. He was elected a member of the new com- 
 mission in January, 1894. He was well known in Atlanta, having 
 often visited his father there. Being the son of pioneer parents, he 
 was early trained to walk in their footsteps, and when only fourteen 
 years old he joined the Presbyterian Church at Dandridge, Tenn., 
 with his brothers, Samuel and Hugh. Walker P. Inman, then a ma- 
 ture man, united with this church on the same day. John Inman 
 remained a member of this church during his whole life, and was 
 one of its official managers, Dr. John Hall, an eminent Scotch-Irish 
 divine, being the pastor. Like most men who have achieved fame 
 and fortune, his boyhood received the moral force which comes from 
 a pious parentage. 
 
 His summers were spent among the Berkshire hills where he had 
 a comfortable home. The late Cyrus Field and Dr. Henry M. Field 
 were among his neighbors and friends. He numbered other men of 
 this type among his friends. When Mr. Inman went abroad 
 several years ago, he was tendered a banquet by the Liverpool Cotton 
 Exchange. He was a friend and admirer of President Cleveland, 
 and it is said that the President considered his name for the Treas- 
 ury portfolio. He was an unswerving advocate of sound money, and 
 used his influence on that side of the late contest. He died at his 
 summer home November 5, 1896. — Condensed from the sketches of 
 Mr. Inman found in the Atlanta papers.

 WALKEE PATTERSON INMAN (1167). 
 
 Walker Patterson Inman, a retired cotton merchant and capitalist 
 of prominence of Atlanta, Ga., was born near Huntsville, Ala., June, 
 1828, his parents being descendants of Revolutionary ancestry. 
 
 When quite young he was left an orphan and was taken by his 
 brother, Shadrach W. Inman of Dandridge, Tenn. He was given 
 an education and trained for a business life. To his brother, who is 
 still living at the age of eighty-three years, he attributes much of 
 whatever success he may have attained. When quite young Mr. In- 
 man became a partner with his brother in the mercantile business 
 and was fairly prosperous. He was married in 1858 to Miss Cordelia 
 Dick of Dandridge, Tenn., and has four children living. 
 
 At the beginning of the Civil War he was doing a prosperous bank- 
 ing business in Atlanta. In common with the business men of the 
 South, he found his fortune largely swept away by the war, but with 
 energy and patience he went to work to place his family in comfort- 
 able circumstances. His success has been constant, and as the reward 
 of business skill, foresight and honesty, he found himself able, in 
 1892, to retire from business with an ample fortune. 
 
 He is one of a group of dauntless men of the South whose energy 
 and well directed efforts proved so beneficial to the people of their 
 section. 
 
 In 1869 he became a leading member of the great cotton firm of 
 S. M. Inman & Co., of Atlanta, Ga., and Inman & Co., of Houston, 
 Texas. His long experience as a banker fitted him particularly for 
 handling the financial department of a business, the largest of its 
 kind in the world and covering some twenty million dollars annually. 
 The phenomenal success of the firm was largely secured by his assist- 
 ance. 
 
 Upon retiring from business his interest was given into the worthy 
 hands of his two sons, William H. and John W. Inman.

 The guiding instincts of Mr. Inman's life have been devotion to 
 his home, family, friends and church, and a strict sense of business 
 integrity, with a broad and liberal charity toward his fellow men. 
 His hand has ever been open to those in distress, and he enjoys the 
 universal esteem of the community. In a quiet way he has attained 
 that success most to be desired in this life — a good home, a family 
 raised in the fear of God, the ability and disposition to help those 
 who need help and the approval of his conscience in feeling that his 
 success in life has been due to honest methods and moral principles.

 WEST POINT. 
 
 In May, 1836, Wm. Patterson, Hawkins Taylor, Alexander H. 
 Walker and Green Casey arrived tm .the Black Hawk Purchase from 
 Illinois. ' ' * g 
 
 They were all Kentuckians by ^irtlijand education, and were kin- 
 dred. Being pleased with this locality, they purchased the claim 
 or townsite of "Cotton Town/' as it ^as then called. They then pro- 
 ceeded to lay out additional lots to* those already platted (a square 
 with one tier of lots on each side of it), and gave the place the name 
 of "West Point," at the suggestion of an officer of the garrison at 
 Ft. Des Moines (Montrose), who agreed that if allowed to name it 
 he would purchase a number of lots. Accordingly the new proprie- 
 tors held a public sale of lots in September, 1836, and the details of 
 this occasion are graphically described in the "Hawkins Taylor's 
 Letters," in the Annals of Iowa. These founders of West Point were 
 men who had been religiously trained from childhood, and they took 
 steps at once to select a site upon which to build a church, and to 
 secure a regular pastor. During the interval, however, services were 
 held regularly in the house of Wm. Patterson. On the completion of 
 the church (of brick) an organization was made by the Eev. L. G. 
 Bell, a former pastor from Schuyler Presbytery, Illinois, June 24th, 
 1837, and this is said to be the first Presbyterian organization in the 
 State of Iowa. 
 
 The first Presbyterian minister was Eev. Alexander Ewing, who 
 was the pastor of this church from 1838 to 1841. The Eev. Samuel 
 Wilson and the Eev. Launcelot Graham Bell had also conducted ser- 
 vices at stated times. 
 
 Among the charter members were Wm. Patterson and wife 
 Eleanor, Alexander H. Walker and wife Nancy, and Cyrus Poage 
 and wife Mary. Wm. Patterson and Alexander H. Walker and Cy- 
 rus Poage were elected ruling elders. 
 
 Wm. Patterson afterward moved to Keokuk, and Cyrus Poage re- 
 moved to Missouri. 
 
 David Walker, who died here in 1876, was the last of the original 
 membership. 
 
 Succeeding pastors in due order were the following : Eev. Samuel 
 Cowles; Eev. John M. Fulton; Eev. L. L. Leake; Eev. Samuel 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 227 
 
 Cowles, again: Rev. James L. Fullerton; Eev. James G. "Wilson, 
 afterwards U. S. Consul to Jerusalem: Key. Samuel Cowles, again. 
 
 In 18 60, Eev. G. D. Stewart of Pennsylvania became the pastor. 
 Under his mini strati on a new building was erected on the original 
 site, there was an extensive revival of religious interest, and many 
 were added to the church. In 1864, Eev. Stewart was called to the 
 First Presbyterian Church of Burlington, Iowa, and the Eev. 
 "Father"'" Cowles, as he was familiarly called, again took charge. 
 
 Other citizens here founded homes and built churches of their 
 choice, Wm. Stewarf s family in the Methodist Episcopal, of which 
 Win. Alexander was the Sunday- School superintendent: he came 
 in 1838. A German Methodist Church; a Mennonite Church, with 
 its interesting history ; also a Baptist and a Eoman Catholic, which 
 was organized in 1842 by J. G. Allermann. He was a priest who 
 came to Fort Madison in 1840, and at that time was the only Cath- 
 olic priest within one hundred miles. His work was looking up 
 scattered Catholic families, and wherever the number was sufficient, 
 organizing them into churches, and teaching and catechising chil- 
 dren. He was a generous, kind-hearted man, willing to help the 
 needy and ailing. He was especially fond of flowers and children, 
 giving medals and cards of his faith to those who came under his 
 instructions, and sharing the flowers he grew in his garden with his 
 neighbors and their children. He brought a pure white rose bush to 
 Fort Madison, which he planted in his garden. This was duly 
 shared by cuttings and sprouts as it grew from year to year, to those 
 who appreciated its beauty and the generosity of the owner. To this 
 later day, after more than half a century, this rose adorns not only 
 the home gardens and plats in Fort Madison, West Point, and other 
 places in its vicinity, but it marks the graves and adorns the cemetery 
 plots of more than one generation of those who recall this faithful 
 priest, and name this rose "The Allermann.'* 
 
 West Point made a very determined effort to procure the county 
 seat, and for a short time was successful, when it was returned to 
 Fort Madison. Dr. J. C. Walker was the clerk of the U. S. District 
 Court at that time, and removed to West Point and remained until 
 the return of the count}- seat. 
 
 There was an academy started, which flourished for a time under 
 the charge of the Presbyterian pastors. A building was erected for 
 its use in the center of the town square. It afterwards became a pub- 
 lic school.

 West Point has had its "best people" and "prominent citizens" 
 like other towns and cities of larger numbers. And society there 
 also had its brilliant and gifted personalities, who in later days found 
 homes in cities east and west, but who now recall the early days with 
 smiles of pleasant recollection for the friends they knew there. 
 
 Judge Kinney and his family have found a home in California, 
 where in this later time (1901) the Judge still lives, "four score and 
 more," and recalls those old days in Lee County, Iowa. 
 
 Some have gone into public life and successful professional careers, 
 and others have become prominent in public places and the halls of 
 Congress, who recall days of dark beginning in West Point, Iowa, in 
 their youth. 
 
 "The beginning of Ohio was the beginning of the great North- 
 west. It was impelled by a wonderful spirit of expansion. 
 
 "The settling of this was not the gradual extension of the frontier 
 of civilization, but the planting of new and distinct civilization, as 
 the pilgrim fathers planted for New England, so they now were go- 
 ing forward to plant the first colony in a vast wilderness. The sec- 
 ond Mayflower was moored on the banks of the Ohio, and Marietta 
 was founded. 
 
 "The best blood of Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont 
 went out into the reserve at the North. 
 
 "The Scioto region was penetrated by some of the most vigorous 
 elements of the Old Dominion. 
 
 "Sturdy sons of New Jersey and New York entered the Miamis. 
 This combination was invincible; it was inevitable that Ohio should 
 be strong." 
 
 Such is the story of the beginning of the country to which Joel 
 Walker came in 1803. 
 
 JOEL Walker (1047), ninth and youngest of Samuel (No. 10) 
 and Jane P. Walkers children; b. in Virginia, on the tract of land 
 belonging to his father situated within two miles of the Natural 
 Bridge, March 1, 1764, and was reared upon his father's farm. He 
 was taught by his elder brother, Gen. Samuel, who was a surveyor 
 by profession. Early in life Joel Walker began the study of the same 
 profession, which he afterwards followed. Being sent to Richmond 
 to complete his studies as a civil engineer, he was thus engaged in 
 Virginia some ten years, during which time he surveyed large tracts 
 of land for the government, as did his brother Samuel, who held the 
 position of Surveyor General, and with his three younger brothers 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 served as soldiers in the Eevoiution. They surveyed large tracts of 
 lands in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, their work being con- 
 sidered very accurate. They also received grants of land in consider- 
 ation of these surveys; the records of such grants exist in the land 
 office records in Eichmond, and there are still on record in Eock- 
 bridge County the deeds for sale of lands by this Joel Walker and 
 his wife, 1794 and 1803. He went to Greenbrier County in 1794 
 and to Ohio in 1803. He met Margaret Armstrong at White Sul- 
 phur Springs ; was married to her at the home of her father, Kobert 
 Armstrong, in Greenbrier County, September 20, 1792. They began 
 their home in Eockbridge near that of Samuel Walker ; the churches 
 of that locality being Falling Spring, Timber Eidge and New Provi- 
 dence. At the home of Alexander Walker may yet be seen the "Joel 
 Apple Tree," perpetuating from generation to generation the mem- 
 ory of this man. Some of the descendants of J ohn the emigrant still 
 own and occupy these acres, part of the original "Burden Grant." 
 His father having died in 1793, and his mother on January 10, 1800, 
 he decided to remove to the Northwest Territory, and in order that 
 they might accomplish this removal safely, Eobert Armstrong set 
 apart a sum of money to his daughter Margaret — of this the writer 
 (Margaret Walker) was told by one who as a child stood by and saw 
 the gold weighed and counted. With this money was purchased a 
 tract of land in the new territory to which they removed, and which 
 was to be an inheritance to their children in after years. 
 
 Joel Walker located on Beaver Creek east of Springfield, which 
 town then contained 50 inhabitants. In 1824, he sold this tract of 
 land and removed to Fayette County, where he bought 200 acres on 
 the North Fork of Point Eiver. Here he resided until the time of 
 his death in May, 1834, where his wife died September 20, 1825. 
 
 Joel Walker made a second marriage to a widow, name not given, 
 who lived on a farm not far distant from his own. He was the author 
 of the Walker Eecord (mentioned in the first part of this work), 
 which was written presumably in Virginia previous to 1800, before 
 the death of his father Samuel, and contained the names of about 
 140 descendants of John Walker of Wigton. 
 
 The 12 children of Joel and Margaret Ann Armstrong Walker 
 were : 
 
 1818. Elizabeth Graham Walker; b. June 14, 1793, in Eock-

 family home on the tract of land near the Natural Bridge. She and 
 her sister, Mrs. Pancoast, remembered well the incidents of their 
 journey of 300 miles from Virginia to Ohio. The trip was made 
 with wagons; Elizabeth and her sister traveled on horseback. She 
 joined the Mt. Sterling Presbyterian Church in 1830. Her sisters, 
 Mrs. Douglas and Catherine, were received into this church at the 
 same time; m. Dr. Joseph Stevenson in November, 1843. They had 
 no children. She was named for her mother's mother. The family 
 treasured the tradition of this ancestress that on her way from Scot-

 land to America, anterior to the coming of the Walkers from Ire- 
 land, there was a severe storm continuously from Wednesday to Fri- 
 day, when it abated; and in due time the ship arrived in safety in 
 the new country and no lives were lost. She, ever after throughout 
 her entire life, observed every Friday with works of devotion and 
 self-denial, that is, of fasting and prayer, as a thank-offering to God 
 for deliverance from shipwreck. This incident made a lasting im- 
 pression upon the mind of her daughter Margaret, which she trans- 
 mitted to her daughter, Elizabeth Graham, whose life was a conse- 
 cration to duty and the good of her mother's family from her earli- 
 est years to its close. Late in life she was married to Dr. Stevenson 
 of Denmark, Iowa, from the home of her brother, Dr. Walker ; and 
 at his death, after fifteen years, she returned to Fort Madison to be 
 near her brothers and sisters, where she made her home; but in the 
 fall of 1873, on the date of her marriage thirty years previously, she 
 returned to the home of Dr. Walker, where she spent the two closing 
 3^ears of her life in a peaceful and happy review of its preceding 
 years. Their favorite theme of conversation being the family his- 
 tory — the emigration from Scotland to Ireland, thence to America, 
 Pennsylvania and Virginia, thence to Ohio, which journey she was 
 old enough to remember, and later, her own "coming to Iowa with 
 Samuel" in 1838, via the Ohio to St. Louis, thence to Fort Madison 
 by Mississippi boats, to join Mary Ann P., and the Doctor. I recall 
 with pleasure her intense interest in the little book, "The Captives of 
 Abb's Valle}^" which was her favorite story of the Virginia kindred, 
 and this she found in a Sunday- School library and soon became the 
 possessor of a copy which she circulated among the young people of 
 the relationship, to thereby arouse an interest in the early history of 
 her father's family in Virginia, and which to her was only second in 
 importance to the Bible and confession of faith. It became my pleas- 
 ure in 1894 to visit Virginia and review these scenes and to meet the 
 relatives in that "vast, beautiful country of most excellent people," 
 her father's father's kindred, and in their homes at Lexington, The 
 Bridge and Jump Mountain. I also visited Few Providence and 
 Timber Ridge Churches, near Walker and Hays Creeks, and scaled 
 Jump Mountain on horseback to view these scenes from its summit, 
 while its sides were clothed in laurel and ivy; also the Goshen Pass 
 in its wild beauty and grand scenery, and there to realize the stories 
 of our kindred, and their heroic lives in their mountain homes.

 Betsy passed on to her reward, surrounded by many of those she 
 loved, and was buried in the old city cemetery beside her sister, Mary 
 Ann Pringle Douglass, who died in 1865, the first of the ten who 
 reached mature life to pass away. Of Aunt Betsy it must be said 
 that she lived to obey the fifth commandment, and died full of years 
 and faith and love. Her favorite psalm was the 23d, and her favorite 
 hymn, "How Firm a Foundation, ye Saints of the Lord." Upon 
 her headstone was inscribed, "The Lord is my Shepherd" — her dear-

 It is our human way 
 For those that pass away, 
 
 On breast or brow 
 The wreath of scented strands 
 To lav; with trembling hands 
 
 I lay it now. 
 
 With hands that tremble so, 
 Because I kneel and know 
 
 That God has bid the best — 
 The best and sweetest, too, 
 That lived His work to do — 
 
 To be His guest. 
 
 For her, because she slept, 
 These April skies have kept 
 
 Their brightest blue ; 
 Because o'er her dear eyes 
 The palms of Paradise 
 
 Dropped their divinest dew. 
 
 Though priest and passing bell, 
 The prayer, the praise, the knell 
 
 May breathe and ring, 
 Her deeds are prayers that rise 
 As incense to the skies, 
 
 'Mid scents of spring.

 Where those dear feet must pass, 
 We strew the path, alas ! 
 
 With tears and flowers — 
 With tears of grief and gloom, 
 With buds Faith bids to bloom 
 
 In heavenly bowers. 
 
 If ever patient feet 
 
 Pressed, with obedience meet, 
 
 The paths that lead to God — 
 While ever, as she passed, 
 Some sufferer smiled at last — 
 
 Those paths she trod. 
 
 Then, though sad lips have said 
 That this our friend is dead, 
 
 Why weep ye more ? 
 Since, though our prayer and plaint, 
 Heavm wins for earth's sweet saint 
 
 An angel more.

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 SAMUEL ALLEN Walker (1824) ; b. Aug. 3/1803, in Virginia; 
 cl. July 28, 1878, in Oneco, Stephenson County, 111.; came with his 
 father's family in conveyances via the National Eoad, then opened 
 for emigration, bringing with them several colored people belonging 
 to the family. Two of these made the journey upon horse-back, and 
 lived until old age in Ohio — free women in a free state. Samuel re- 
 ceived his education from his father's careful teaching, and assisting 
 in surveying and in the schools of the neighborhood. He went to 
 Columbus to learn the printers' trade. In the autumn of 1837 he, 
 with his sister Elizabeth, went to Fort Madison, la., by boat. They 
 found a log cabin already built upon the "Douglass Claim," in which 
 they together began pioneer life. In 1841 he married Mrs. Eebecca 
 Parmer, aunt of J. C. Walker. She is recorded in the annals of the 
 state as being the first woman teacher in Iowa. She came to Fort 
 Madison early in the year 1834 from the "Point," St. Charles Coun- 
 ty, Mo., with her two sons, Lycurgus and Devore, in company with 
 her father and brother Ebenezer and Ebenezer Davenport Ayers, who 
 had made their "claims" and built their cabins northeast of town on 
 the Hill Eoad leading to Burlington and Augusta. The schools kept 
 by the Widow Parmer were held in a vacant cabin on her own claim, 
 and in her own home cabin on the Sabbath for Bible instruction, 
 when she gathered together children of the neighborhood to instruct 
 in both week-day and Sabbath lessons, this being a labor of love, and 
 of meager and incidental remuneration to herself, but most faith- 
 fully and perseveringly executed. 
 
 In this log cabin home on her claim occurred her second marriage 
 to Samuel A. Walker, her sons having gone out to begin life in other 
 pursuits than farming, in the little settlement near by at the foot of 
 the hill, now (1841) known as Fort Madison, beside the river and 
 near the old "Fort," built in 1805, but at this time without garri- 
 son, since the treaty with Black Hawk, the Indian Chief, was already 
 signed; and Michigan Territory divided into Wisconsin, 1836, and 
 to Iowa Territory in 1838, and the Indian wars were at an end in this 
 locality and peace secured. After this marriage they removed to a 
 farm tract southwest of town on the Sand Prairie, where they made 
 their home for nine years. On Jan. 3, 1850, Eebecca Walker d., and 
 her grave was made beside that of her father, who died in December, 
 1834, and was buried in the acre of her claim which she then donated 
 for a family burial place, and "God's Acre," as well, and which after- 
 wards became the present Cherry Hill Cemetery.

 After the lapse of over fort) 7 years, in 1892 Mr. J. B. Stewart, the 
 grandson of Ebenezer Ayers, erected on the spot the Ayers-Stewart 
 monument to commemorate the lives of these brave pioneers to Iowa, 
 the father, brother and sister of his mother, Mrs. Emily Ayers 
 Stewart (the widow of Dr. Abram Stewart of Hannibal, Mo.), who 
 came in Oct., 1835, one year after his death, with her two children, 
 Martha M. and Joseph BufTon, to join her father, brother and sister 
 already here. They also made a claim adjoining the brother, Ebene- 
 zer Ayers, and built their cabin in the following spring of 1836, the 
 two cousins, Devore and Lucurgus, assisting Joseph B. The eldest 
 of the three cousins, Devore, being then but sixteen and a half years 
 of age, but all bearing manfully the labors of pioneering, felling 
 trees to build their cabins, breaking the virgin soil with the simple 
 implements of that time, digging wells, planting orchards, sowing 
 and planting, reaping and threshing, and going to mill, the sack of 
 grain thrown across the horse's back on which they rode to Augusta 
 to the mill. In winter trapping the quail, pheasants, prairie chick- 
 ens, squirrels and rabbits. In summer gathering the wild berries, 
 plums, crab apples and forest nuts. Thus began and passed the 
 years 1841-50. She died Jan. 3, 1850, aged 49 years. The follow- 
 ing expressive lines were written to her memory by Geo. N\ Williams, 
 who afterwards served as Attorney-General of the United States in 
 President Grant's cabinet: 
 
 "The subject of this notice will be long and affectionately remem- 
 bered by those best known to her in life as a friend, a wife and a 
 mother. 
 
 "There was no parade of shining qualities for public gaze, but 
 quietude and gentleness were the elements of her nature and she 
 sought only for reward which remembrance of doing good always 
 brings to the pure in heart. The family circle was the sphere in 
 which she delighted to live and move and dispense her ministrations 
 of kindness to those by whom she was surrounded. 
 
 "Contentment and cheerfulness were characteristics of her mind 
 and all her efforts were directed to make home the sauctuary from the 
 troubles and cares of restless life attractive and happy. 
 
 "A mother's loss must be felt to be known; it can never be de- 
 scribed. No matter what changes may befall a man in this world, 
 though multiplied years may push him far down the declivity of old 
 age, never while memory lasts can he forget the devotion and tender -

 ness of a mother's love. Endeared as the deceased was to many whom 
 she has left to mourn her sudden and irreparable loss, the separation 
 could not be otherwise than deeply painful and afflictive. 
 
 "But even in such sorrow there is a solace, derived from the full 
 assurance which her friends feel that she was able to say in language 
 of reliance: 
 
 " 'To death's uplifted dart: 
 
 Aim sure ! Oh, why delay ? 
 Thou wilt not find a fearful heart, 
 
 A weak, reluctant prey; 
 For still the spirit, firm and free, 
 
 Triumphant in the last dismay, 
 Wrapt in its own eternity 
 
 Shall smiling, pass away.' "

 and Deborah Davenport Ayres, who came from Connecticut to Mari- 
 etta, 0. Dr. Stewart and Emily Ayres were m. in July, 1816. After 
 his death she came to Ft. Madison with her children — this was in 
 1835. She was a member of the Presbyterian Chnrch for over sev- 
 enty years, being one of the original members of the Ft. Madison 
 church, as was also her dan. Martha and son-in-law Dr. Walker, with 
 several other members of their families. There were only three houses 
 in Ft. Madison when Mrs. Stewart with her two children came to 
 the place, one of these being the cabin built by her sister's son, Devore 
 Parmer, on the Augusta road. Here she with her children found a 
 home for a time. She d. July 18, 1879, at the home of her son-in- 
 law, Dr. Walker. Dr. Walker became an elder in the church soon 
 after its organization and was always a liberal contributor towards 
 its support. When a new building was erected in 1858 he assumed 
 the whole debt due upon the building amounting to over $1000 and 
 paid the same. He was a man of wide intelligence, a constant reader 
 and of a very retentive memory. 
 
 In 1842 he was appointed Clerk of the TJ. S. District Court, which 
 office he filled five years. In 1862 he received the appointment of 
 Collector of Internal Seventies, his brother, John G-., being made 
 Deputy Collector. After the assassination of President Lincoln in 
 1865, Dr. Walker was succeeded in his office by General Belknap of 
 Keokuk, and resumed the business of merchandising. In 1879 he 
 undertook the difficult work of adjusting Swamp Land Claims, as 
 special agent for the government. 
 
 Judge Joseph M. Beck, who well remembered Dr. Walker in 1854 
 and the stand he took for right and justice at the convention which 
 nominated Lincoln in 1860, Dr. Walker being a delegate to this con- 
 vention, said of him : "He never waited to see which way the wind 
 would blow, but allied himself with the party of liberty at its very 
 birth." This principle he inherited from his maternal grandfather, 
 Eobert Armstrong, of Virginia, who directed the course of Joel 
 Walker, his son-in-law, to Ohio, believing it would become a free 
 state, and in so doing gave liberty in 1803 to two colored girls, his 
 own property, who accompanied Mrs. Joel Walker, his dau., to Ohio, 
 where they lived and died as free women. 
 
 Prior to the formation of the Eepublican party Dr. Walker was 
 an Anti-Slavery Democrat. He attended the convention held in 
 Nashville, Tenn., which nominated James K. Polk to the Presidency 
 
248 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 of the United States, during which time he visited the Hermitage, 
 the home of Andrew Jackson, near by, bringing home with him as a 
 relic of this place, and the event of his visit to it, a hickory stick or 
 cane which grew there. He also attended the inauguration of Presi- 
 dent Polk in March of 1845, in Washington. He helped to organize 
 the Republican party in Iowa in 1854, and was actively interested in 
 its welfare ever afterward. 
 
 Almost the last act of his life was to shake hands with a poor col- 
 ored woman who had come to see him in his last illness and express 
 her affection and gratitude for protection and kindness shown to her 
 in her early life. He died at his residence in Ft. Madison, Oct. 17, 
 1888. The following fitting eulogy was pronounced upon this good 
 man by James H. Duffus, editor of the Ft. Madison Plain Dealer: 
 
 "Although well advanced in years, having passed the three score 
 and ten allotted to man, yet the loss of such a citizen to any com- 
 munity cannot be estimated. Always in the lead in every good cause, 
 liberal to assist in every worthy enterprise and posted on all the im- 
 portant measures that affected the welfare of our people, Dr. Walker 
 was looked up to as the one man in our midst who always knew what 
 he was talking about, and never gave a false alarm or led his friends 
 astray. Quiet and unassuming, he was loved and respected by all 
 who knew him. For fifty-three long years Ft. Madison has been his 
 home, and in all that time he has been buoyed up by the hope that 
 some time this would be a prosperous city. His faith was well found- 
 ed, and his fondest hopes were rapidly becoming a reality, but just 
 as the sun of prosperity was climbing up the eastern horizon and 
 shedding his resplendent rays upon the city he so much loved, the 
 fitful summons came; and like a knight in full armor, divested of 
 sword and buckler, a true and valiant soldier of the cross, he was 
 called to his reward. He was a personal friend of the writer, and 
 often have we listened to his words of counsel and advice during a 
 little more than three years that we have known him. Peace to his 
 ashes and honor to his memory." 
 
 Dr. Walker and his wife were charter members of the Presbyter- 
 ian Church of this place, which was organized by the Presbytery of 
 Schuyler, 111., by *Rev. Launcelot Graham Bell, on March 26, 1838, 
 
 *Rev. I<auncelot Graham Bell was related to Elizabeth Graham's family of Virginia, 
 the ancestress who was in a shipwreck on her voyage to America. She was the mother 
 of Joel Walker's wife Margaret. Rev. Bell, or "Father" Bell, as he was sometimes called, 
 was a son of one of the most faithful pioneer missionaries that Iowa had, if not the first 
 and best in Presbyterianism.

 in the upper room of an unplastered store building on Front Street, 
 between Pine and Cedar Streets, with seventeen members, of which 
 nnmber Dr. Walker and his three sisters, Elizabeth G. Walker, Kath- 
 arine E. Walker and Mrs. Mary Ann P. Olds (widow), by letter 
 from Ohio, and Mrs. Eebecca A. Parmer (widow), and her sister, 
 Mrs. Emily Stewart (widow), by letter from Missouri, and her 
 daughter, Miss Martha M. Stewart, on confession of faith, were 
 seven of the seventeen. 
 
 The first minister was the Eev. J. A. Clark of Andover Theologi- 
 cal Seminary, sent under the patronage of the American Home Mis- 
 sionary Society June 1, 1838. 
 
 In this year the Presbyterian Church in the United States was 
 divided into two separate churches, called the Old and New School. 
 Soon after this occurred the Eev. Clark withdrew with a part of the 
 number of the church here, and formed an organization under the 
 New School Branch. Those who remained then reorganized as the 
 Old School, and thus there were two weak, struggling little churches 
 in a small village. 
 
 In 1843 the New School began erecting a brick church, and the 
 pastor also erected for himself a brick residence. They were com- 
 pleted, the church building in 1846, at a cost of six thousand dollars. 
 The Old School continued to hold services in the building on Front 
 Street, and later in the court room of the new brick court house on 
 Third Street. The weekly prayer meetings were held from house 
 to house of the members. Dr. Walker, then only twenty-six years of 
 age, was made a ruling elder of this Old School Branch. 
 
 After various hardships, sacrifices and struggles on the part of 
 these two weak churches, it was proposed that they unite and worship 
 as one congregation. A vote was taken on the first of January, 1860, 
 which resulted in a majority of votes for the Old School, and the 
 church was enrolled in the Presbytery of Iowa, 0. S. in March, 1860. 
 Thus this union was perfected in this small town in the west in ad- 
 vance of the National Presbyterian Churches, which example was 
 followed by the union of the two Assemblys in Pittsburg in 1871. 
 The debt which had long hung on the building, was assumed and 
 paid by Dr. Walker gladly and thankfully. "He gives twice who 
 gives quickly." "And the Lord loveth a cheerful giver." Such this 
 man ever was.

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Dr. J. C. Walker and others composed the eldership. The new 
 church was erected 1884-5 on the spot of the old building of 1846. 
 "Thus the old order changeth, yielding place to new, and God fulfills 
 Himself in many ways." 
 
 Dr. Stewart has been the pastor twenty-five years next April, 1877- 
 1902, and his pastorate is the longest of any in the Presbytery, hav- 
 ing come to West Point, la., in 1859, thence to Burlington, 1865, 
 and to Omaha, 1871. 
 
 At the present time Mrs. J. C. Walker is the only surviving char- 
 ter member (March 26, 1838— February 22, 1902). She, with a 
 few other veteran Presbyterians of Ft. Madison, greet one another 
 Sabbath by Sabbath with a smile and handshaking "for Christ and 
 the Church," and "Auld Lang Syne." "Mark ye well her bulwarks ; 
 they shall prosper that love thee." 
 
 The church, and the family ties of kinship, of each to the other, 
 were always the first and chief objects of their labors and affections 
 throughout the entire fifty years of their wedded life. They were 
 steadfast, consistent, Christian young people, in a community where 
 gayety and frivolity, such as is common to all new countries, abound- 
 ed. With dancing, cards, "shows," and drinking they had no asso- 
 ciation in those early years — the modern saloon with its gaudy allure- 
 ments was then denominated a "grogery" and treated as such, not 
 only to be avoided but exterminated — and rather the calm, serious, 
 consistent course of those whose minds were set upon building of 
 sure foundations in the upbuilding of churches, schools, the state and 
 town, the family and home. What marvel is it that such was their 
 course, since the family record made by Joel Walker of Ohio, begins 
 with John Walker of Wigton and Katharine Rutherford, whose fath- 
 er, the Rev. John Rutherford, was nephew to Rev. Samuel Ruther- 
 ford, "that sweet saint of the Covenant," and his wife Isabel Allein, 
 the daughter of Rev. Joseph Allein, the author of "The Alarm" in 
 Scotland, following with such other names as Whitfield in the East 
 and South, Rev. Daniel Baker and Rev. Finley in Ohio, and Rev. 
 Jonathan Edwards in Connecticut, and Rev. David Nelson in Mis- 
 souri, the author of "Cause and Cure of Infidelity," and of the hymn, 
 "My Days are Gliding Swiftly By" ; also the treasured memory of a 
 visit of the former pastor, Rev. Allen, from Ohio, soon after the 
 coming to Ft. Madison. Thus soon were the homes open to Christian 
 hospitality and free from selfish ends and aims, and to their "Cast

 bread upon the waters" in full assurance of its sacred promise. "Not 
 I but Christ dwelling in me" the motive and theme. 
 
 Martha Maria Stewart was the daughter of Dr. Abram Stewart, 
 who was born in Vermont, 1784. (His father, Abram Stewart was 
 born in Scotland, 1742; died in Eden, Xew York, 1836, aged 94 
 years* He married Martha Rowley, b. 1743, d. 1806, aged 63 years.) 
 Dr. Stewart was an assistant surgeon in the United States Army, 
 and was stationed at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, 1809, or earlier 
 by some records. 
 
 Later he was called to attend a case of serious illness in "The 
 Point," at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Eivers, 
 hence called "The Point," in Portage Des Sioux Township, St. 
 Charles County, Louisiana Territory, in the family of Mr. Ebenezer 
 Ayers. Here he met Miss Emily Ayers, the daughter. The ac- 
 quaintance was continued, and in July, 1816, they were married, the 
 Rev. Timothy Flint officiating. 
 
 Dr. Stewart resigned his position as surgeon in the army and be- 
 gan the practice of his profession in and near St. Louis, making his 
 home at Florissant, now a suburb of the city; and here on January 
 20, 1820, Martha Maria Stewart was born. There were two other 
 daughters, both dying in early childhood. On August 2, 1821, in 
 St. Charles County, near the Point, Joseph Buff on Stewart was born. 
 They a few years later removed to Hannibal, Missouri. Dr. Stewart 
 was a gentleman of classical, professional and polite education and 
 rearing, and he was a diligent instructor in his family, taking advan- 
 tage of every moment in the home and every outside opportunity to 
 advance the development and education of his two children. He 
 sent the daughter to a private boarding school in Palmyra, near by, 
 taught by a Mrs. Burr, who was a highly cultivated lady from Vir- 
 ginia. Here she, thus early in life, was instructed in the rudiments 
 and accomplishments of the day as well, and the manners and cus- 
 toms of polite and refined society. 
 
 During these years, in Ohio, and under the instruction of Drs. 
 Gibson & Olds, the young doctor, Joel C. Walker, was also being 
 educated by Providence to meet and win this young woman who in 
 the course of God's own time should become his wife, "not by chance 
 nor by fate, but by the will of God." 
 
 Dr. Abram Stewart died on October 11, 1834, in Hannibal. The 
 subsequent history of his family is already told, and my patient

 reader will kindly return to previous pages and follow me yet a little 
 further in the story of these earlier days. 
 
 About 1790 Ebenezer Ayers came from Connecticut to Ohio and 
 settled at the first known place of that Territory, now made famous 
 as such, viz : Marietta. His wif e was Deborah Davenport o4 Con- 
 necticut. Her mother was closely related to the family of the mother 
 of Jonathan Edwards, the divine. 
 
 On January 22, 1795, Emily Ayers was born, and owing to danger 
 from the Indians they had fled to the stockade or fort (afterwards 
 called Ft. Harmer). This now historic spot was the place of her 
 birth. 
 
 Again in 1800 Ebenezer Ayers removed, and became a second time 
 a pioneer, from Ohio to Louisiana Territory, as heretofore noted. 
 
 There he made a home described in an early history of Missouri, 
 by Kev. Mint, as follows : 
 
 "He built the first horse-mill in that region of the country, and 
 was a large fruit grower and made butter and cheese. He lived in 
 a large red house in which the first Protestant sermon in the "Point 
 was preached." In 1804 he, James Flaugherty and John Woods 
 were appointed Justices of the Peace for St. Charles District, being 
 the first appointed under the American Government/' 
 
 Mr. Ayers had four children, one son and three daughters, Eliza, 
 Emily and Eebecca. Ebenezer Davenport Ayers married Louisiana 
 Overall. 
 
 "Eebecca married Anthony C. Parmer, who was a ranger in a 
 company commanded by Captain James Calloway. Mr. Parmer was 
 afterwards elected Sheriff of St. Charles County, and served one 
 term, 1818 to 1820. He had a good education, was an excellent 
 scribe and taught school." 
 
 To return to Ebenezer Ayers, the father. He sent his eldest 
 daughter, Emily, the subject of this sketch, to St. Louis to school, 
 where she boarded in the family of Mrs. Manuel Macomb, 1803-4, 
 and was a witness to the now historical ceremonies attending the 
 surrender of Louisiana Territory by the Spanish and French to the 
 United States Government, on March 10, 1804, by purchase, of 
 President Jefferson from Napoleon Bonaparte. 
 
 "Thus on March 8, 1804, Missouri belonged to Spain, on the 9th 
 to France, and on the 10th to the United States," when with banners 
 flying and the music of Hail Columbia and Yankee Doodle and the

 thunders of the cannon, the American troops marched in and took 
 possession. St. Louis became the capital of the new Territory of 
 Upper Louisiana, the Spanish and French surrendering all claims. 
 
 Ere many months pass the Centennial of this event will be cele- 
 brated in grandeur in St. Louis. March 10, 180-1, to March 10, 
 1902, seems a long period, but as these lines are penned I recall that 
 the memory of Mrs. Emily Avers Stewart is vividly recalled by her 
 friends and neighbors yet residing in this little gem city. Her wit, 
 her repartee, her ability to quiz one upon religious opinions and 
 professions, for this was her chief theme and motive, and the reading 
 of religions literature, first of all the Bible, was the occupation of 
 her every leisure moment, with regular daily visitations to those in 
 need of her ministrations. 
 
 In July, 1879, she fell asleep joyfully, with these words: "What 
 is death but the gate to endless joys," and her grave is beside her 
 kindred in the little cemetery on the hillside near the old home 
 places of 1834-5. 
 
 On May 12, 1899, her only son, Joseph Buff on Stewart, passed in- 
 to the "Great Beyond," as he spoke of the future life. 
 
 Thus his sister, Mrs. J. C. Walker, was left alone of all this good- 
 ly company at the age of nearly four score years. 
 
 The children of Ebenezer D. Avers, her first cousins, are yet liv- 
 ing, and have found homes in California and elsewhere nearer. Of 
 the five sons three, Erank, Samuel and Lycurgus, possibly too, Eben- 
 ezer and Marion (the writer is not definitely informed), were sol- 
 diers of the Civil War. The one daughter, Gertrude, is now Mrs. 
 kelson Burch of Los Angeles, California.

 My Dear Sister: — I remember that this is the fiftieth anniversary 
 of your marriage, and, although circumstances are not as favorable 
 as we hoped a few months ago they would be, there is yet much to 
 be thankful for. 
 
 I hope Dr. Walker continues to improve in his general health, and 
 that the recollection of the past fifty years of wedded life to you both 
 finds little to regret and much to be thankful for. Three of your

 children, who delight to honor you, will, as they have done in the 
 past, do all in their power to make the increasing years weigh lightly 
 upon you. 
 
 Your many kind deeds done and personal sacrifices made for 
 others have brought many grateful acknowledgements, but the great- 
 er reward will come in the "Great Beyond." Our lives from child- 
 hood have been very much united, and our perfect harmony has been 
 the pleasantest recollection of my life. 
 
 Eemember me most gratefully to Dr. Walker, whose kindness to 
 and trusting confidence in me have always been highly appreciated. 
 
 Affectionately your brother, 
 
 J. B. Stewart.

 JOHN GRAHAM Walker 5 (1829) (Joel 4 , Joseph 3 , Samuel 2 , 
 John 1 ) : b. in Springfield, 0., July 3, 1813. He was one of a re- 
 markable family of ten children, all of whom lived to a ripe old age, 
 one sister being 96 years old at her death, another 86 and the most of 
 them not less than 80. jSTine of the brothers and sisters came west and 
 settled in the then Territory of Iowa in the fall of 1837, where they 
 joined their brother, Dr. Joel Calvin Walker, who had settled at Ft. 
 Madison, la., earl yin the year 1835, where he continued to reside un- 
 til his death. J ohn Graham spent the most of his life as a merchant. 
 He was deputy collector of internal revenue for the 1st Iowa district 
 during the administration of Abraham Lincoln, of whom he was a 
 profound admirer. Unlike the other brothers, he was in early life 
 a Whig, bnt being a man of very profound convictions, soon allied 
 himself with the Free Soil party and voted for J. G. Burney for 
 president. Upon the organization of the Republican party he saw the 
 opportunity of forcing the anti-slavery issue and became an earnest 
 and enthusiastic republican, always supporting that parry in every 
 national contest, except in 1868, when he supported Horace Greeley, 
 for whom he always had a sincere admiration, instead of General 
 Grant. 
 
 He served with distinction in the civil war, being a captain in the 
 9th U. S. Regulars. In the home of Thomas Armstrong, his uncle 
 and her step-father, May 8, 1838, he was married to Sophia Mather 
 Page, whose death occurred in Kendrick, Idaho, in September, 1892. 
 
 Mr. Walker was a gentleman of the old school, always tolerant, 
 gentle, kind, sympathetic, just and honorable. He died, the last of 
 his generation, at the home of James M. Pearce, in Kendrick, Latah 
 County, Idaho, Tuesday, February 4, 1896, at the ripe old age of 82

 at the time of his death, having received the appointment 
 to the regular army through Hon. Lyman Trumbull of 
 Illinois, his mother's own cousin; enlisted in the 2nd

 for 750,000 men and 3,000,000 more. Soon for meritor- 
 ious service in the battle of Wilson's Creek, Mo., he was 
 promoted to a 2nd Lieutenancy; Feb. 19, 1862, was ap- 
 pointed as 2nd Lieutenant in the 9th Infantry Regulars, 
 and ordered to the Presidio, San Francisco ; promoted to

 His life, though short, was one of unusual heroism. In the sum- 
 mer of 1850 when the cholera was raging in the West and in the 
 vicinity of Ft. Madison, patients fleeing from the contagion were 
 left off from boats on their way from St. Louis. At this time Walker 
 Campbell and a young friend volunteered their services as nurses for 
 the sick and dying strangers at the hotel. Owing to this exposure 
 and to the prostration of the very hot weather this frail young man 
 succumbed to disease and was soon called to a higher life. 
 
 It is with a blessed and joyous hope that his memory is cherished 
 by those who knew him, for he had before this last great heroism 
 been identified with other good works, being librarian of the Sabbath 
 School, and a faithful attendant always upon Sabbath services. To 
 his memory and that of her son, William C. Turk, his sister Kath- 
 erine Gilbert caused a window to be placed in the new Presbyterian 
 church in Ft. Madison, la., in 1885. One panel of which represents 
 Christ raising the son of the widow of Nam from the dead, and a cor- 
 responding Gothic panel represents Jacob's dream. Mrs. Gilbert's 
 son, William C. Turk, was born in Council Bluffs, la., October 8, 
 1859 ; was educated at Poughkeepsie Military Academy until 1873, 
 when he went to Vevay, Switzerland. From there he graduated to

 Stuttgart, where he spent three years, and returned to New York in 
 1878 ; spent one year in Hot Springs ; returned to New York in 1879, 
 and for a short time was in H. B. Claflin's store. When the Pacific 
 Railway Improvement Company started, he left Claflin's and went 
 with his uncle, Major Adamson, and since then had been either under 
 Mr. McLaughlin on the preliminary survey or employed in the office 
 at Fort Worth. He was taken sick with typhoid fever and carried 
 to Weatherford, where he died on June 21, 1880. His genial dis- 
 position, integrity of character and business habits won the admira- 
 tion of all with whom he came in contact, and friendship once form- 
 ed between him and another remained for all time. His death is 
 doubly sad, coming as it did when he had scarce passed the thresh- 
 hold of manhood, with brilliant prospects for the future to render 
 his life dear to himself and friends. 
 
 A LETTER FROM JOEL C. WALKER TO HIS BROTHER, 
 JOHX G. WALKER. 
 
 Fort Madison, Ia., Nov. 17, 1886. 
 Bear Brother: — I left home for Ohio on the 6th of June; went 
 direct to Springfield. It is a large city spread over much ground. 
 I found many spots that I recognized ; the greatest charm was a long 
 mill-run and its original swamps. The creek is arched over for over 
 a mile in length; all the railways are laid down in this valley; the 
 main depots are near Limestone Street, two blocks south of where 
 the Buckeye House was, now corner of Main and Limestone Streets, 
 the roads all run through the cify r from Mad River east to six blocks 
 east of Limestone Street — splits the city in two. The greater part 
 of the residences are on the highlands south of Mill Run and north 
 of Buck Creek; the factories are all on the flats of both creeks from 
 two to three miles apart. I went from Springfield to Washington 
 Co. H., 35 miles, by a new railway. This old town has grown to be 
 a city of 8000 people; they have their cross railways through the 
 town. From there I went to Mt. Sterling, by a new railway from 
 Columbus to Cincinnati, 16 miles. I got to Mt. Sterling at 9 A. M., 
 in the midst of a heavy rain. I found Isaac Moore and John Aber- 
 nathy living there. Isaac Moore is 80 years of age; Abematlry, 73. 
 Mt. Sterling will make a good town since they have got a good road, 
 16 miles, to Washington; same to London; 20 to Circleville; no other

 towns near. The whole country is greatly changed ; the greater part 
 of the timber is cut off and the land cultivated in tame grass, corn 
 and wheat; the dwelling houses on the farms are comfortable, but 
 cheap. I saw but three old houses on farms in our old neighborhood. 
 
 Arthur Gregory's old tavern still looks like it did 50 years ago. 
 One on the old North farm and Shriner Pancoast's farm house near 
 Waterloo. The country from Mt. Sterling to Waterloo is the best 
 situated, and in the best repair. I found a turnpike road runs nearly 
 over the old wagon road, only the crooks straight-lined; it passes 
 east only a few feet of our old house. The timber along the road is 
 nearly all cut off and the land was nearly all in wheat. By choosing 
 the uplands they raise first-rate wheat. I got a horse and buggy — 
 went down as far as Waterloo, took the Washington pike, went west 
 to the North fork, miles below our old residence; the old road 
 fenced up. I found a road by going through these gates for one 
 mile. I found the old place ; the dwelling house is gone. I found a 
 cabin east of the house; a road Irom there to the old pasture; the 
 pasture and the fields below the pasture had not been changed. It 
 brought to my mind 60 years ago when I first went to the old place. 
 Some 800 acres, embracing the old farm, belongs to one of the heirs 
 of John (or Jobe) Tilton; they each sold out on their mother's death. 
 The remainder has been sold and improved ; the brush has grown up 
 among the trees and is very heavy since the fire is kept out. The up- 
 per half of the pasture has been sold to outside parties and is now 
 improved. The railway crosses the North fork near where old Bat- 
 teal Harrison's farm joined our land; a small town and railway sta- 
 tion in the creek bank called Madison Mills. That whole country, 
 after you leave the rolling land along the creeks, is very low and flat. 
 I see in traveling over it, ditching and tilling of the land. The cuts 
 and embankments for the railroad are very low. It is not as desira- 
 ble a country as I thought is was — after an absence of fifty years. 
 
 It is not now a healthy country, after all the improvements. A 
 few years ago they had a boom in lands ; the whole country was badly 
 in debt; a crisis came and they nearly all were broken up. Land 
 will not sell for one-half that it did 15 years ago; in fact there has 
 been no sale for land. 
 
 It rained nearly all the time I was in Ohio. I was very unwell. 
 ******** j ^id no j- g 0 t 0 Circleville, as I learned 
 that nearly all of my old friends were dead; among them Henry

 ANOTHER LETTER WRITTEN BY JOEL WALKER. 
 
 Duee's Fork. F. County, Ohio, April 24=, 1S33. 
 
 My Dear Son: — We have been looking for a visit from you for 
 some time, but are now disappointed. Your letter to your brother, 
 J. C, of the 11th of this month informed us you cannot come, but 
 are glad to hear you are well. Myself, your mother, brothers and 
 sisters and their children are all in usual health. Family affairs 
 among us : Mary Ann is in Circleville ; Joseph Olds came for her. 
 Samuel and Joel have commenced farming at home: will work 12 or 
 15 acres of the Gregory farm. Armstrong is living on my place; 
 will vrork it and some of Gregory's also. Our country is improving 
 fast. We have a fine appearance of fruit; apple and cherry trees are 
 in full bloom. J. C. received a letter from J. M. Walker, dated 
 Knightstown, Tenn., March 20. He gives a full account of our rela- 
 tions there, the death of his brothers and his pursuit in business. He 
 has procured Revolutionary land warrants to the amount of 16 or 
 20,000 acres. He will be on here in the course of next month, I ex- 
 pect, to dispose of them. I had a visit from a Mr. John Bowyer, who 
 formerly lived in Lewisburg, Ya. He owns a good deal of land in 
 Union and Logan counties. He will be on here this month to see 
 them, and lay out a farm on old Mr. Yarwood's place. He purchased 
 it last winter. He wants me to go with him to do it. If so, I will go 
 and see you. He also wants us to go to Yirginia to aid him and Mr. 
 Thomason to search and find the land I sold a Mr. Melvan some 
 years ago, as they own it now. YYhen he, Bowyer, was here in the 
 winter, he agreed to undertake to collect our claim off Steele. I have 
 not heard what he did : he said he would write me what he could do 
 with him, but am in hopes to see him myself shortly. I want you to 
 ask Uncle Thomas if he has got his papers in the case of his father's 
 estate ; I shall want them this spring, as I want to see an end to the 
 business. And now a few words to you, and I am done. 
 
 I hope you have been faithful and careful in the business of your 
 uncle; do him justice in all things and your customers the same;

 CONCLUSION" OF THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY OF 
 JOEL WALKER OF OHIO. 
 
 To close the record of my grandfather's family without a few lines 
 upon the social life of these families would be an injustice to them 
 and to the community in which they lived. West Point and Birming- 
 ham were mere villages and Ft. Madison not very much larger, but 
 being on the river and convenient to Keokuk and Burlington, was a 
 central point and the initial spot from whence they emerged after 
 reaching Iowa. It was also the center of attraction socially. The 
 cottage home, corner of Cedar and Third Streets, was ever open to 
 welcome the young neices and nephews. Time would fail one to de- 
 scribe the persons and the occasions but mention may be made of one 
 incident, that of the opening of the large McConn mill, which is well 
 remembered by many now living as a social event of great magnitude 
 and interest. The lower floor being used as the banquet room, the 
 second and third floors for dancing and the roof for promenade. The 
 grand march was led by Devore Parmer and Miss Elizabeth Camp- 
 bell, followed by J. B. Stewart and Miss Ann Gregory. In a house 
 not far from this scene of gaiety were two women watchers beside the 
 bed of a dying child, and to this day a little grave marks the date of 
 both events. 
 
 To return to my description of the little cottage home, one of the 
 chief attractions of which was the beautiful and well kept garden 
 with its wealth of vines and trees and flowering shrubs, where lived 
 and sang every bird common to this locality, thus lending an ineffa- 
 ble charm to this the home of my childhood. The beauty of this gar- 
 den which adorned the early home of my family will ever live in the 
 memory of those whose good fortune it has been to rest in the shade 
 of its abundant foliage and drink in the fragrance of its sweet per- 
 fumes. To the careful hand and loving heart of the wife of Dr. 
 Walker do we owe what help or inspiration we have received from 
 the associations of this quiet peaceful home. The words of J onathan 
 Edwards which I quote seem to fitly describe the life and influence 
 of this good woman. 
 
 "The soul of a true Christian appears like such a little white 
 flower as we see in the spring of the year, low and humble on the 
 ground, opening its bosom to receive the pleasant beams of the sun's 
 glory, rejoicing as it were in a calm rapture, diffusing around a sweet

 fragrance, standing peacefully and lovingly in the midst of other 
 flowers round about, all in like manner opening their bosoms to drink 
 in the light of the sun.*'

 a native of Adair County, Ky., of an old influential family of Irish 
 extraction. In 1836 the family moved to Sangamon Count} 7 , 111. His 
 father afterwards sold his Illinois property and went to Iowa, which 
 was then a Territory, taking a claim near what is now West Point, 
 but before his arrangements could be completed he died, leaving his 
 family in moderate circumstances. The next year the mother went 
 to Iowa with her family and settled on the claim procured by her 
 husband. Here the family of children was reared. Judge Casey, 
 the youngest, being only 11 years old at this time. He received a 
 good education at the public schools and at the Academy of West 
 Point. At the age of 17 years he began the study of law in the office

 of Judge J. F. Pinney, afterwards Judge of the Supreme Court of 
 Iowa. He also received instructions from Cyrus Walker of Illinois ; 
 was admitted to the bar at the age of twenty. He held the office of 
 prosecuting attorney in Keokuk County, Iowa, for six years. He was 
 elected County Judge of Keokuk County in 1859, performing the 
 duties of that office satisfactorily until 1861 ; was editor of the Iowa 
 Democrat, also Ft. Madison Plaindealer several years. He filled 
 many important positions after going to Lee County ; was twice elect- 
 ed mayor of Ft. Madison ; represented his district in the lower house 
 of the Iowa State Legislature, in the Eighteenth General Assembly ; 
 was elected District Judge of the First Judicial District of Iowa in 
 1886, in 1890, and again in 1894, having just entered upon his third 
 term ; always took an active interest in educational matters, and was 
 for four years president of the school board. 
 
 Judge Casey was a man among men, and his friends were num- 
 bered only by the limit of his acquaintance. He was big hearted, 
 kind to everyone, pleasant in conversation and was loved by all, ever 
 affable and obliging. As an attorney his opinions were highly valued. 
 His aim has always been to put forth his best efforts for his clients, 
 and was ever opposed to the practice of dishonesty or deception for 
 the winning of a case, when is could not be won on its merits. In 
 fact he was a man of principle. As a judge he was always fair and 
 unbiased in his opinions, and possessed rare legal ability. He was 
 probably the greatest brain worker in the state of Iowa. He was a 
 deep reasoner ; in argument forcible in expression, convincing in tone 
 and impressive in manner. His sudden death is a severe loss to his 
 family and friends, the constituency of his district, the bar of the 
 state and the public in general. The action of the court here in ad- 
 journment upon the receipt of the intelligence of Judge Casey's death 
 was eminently proper; nothing less could have been done to show 
 proper respect for this just Judge, who has been called to meet his 
 own Judge. His fairness, courtesy and ability were always recog- 
 nized by the Des Moines County bar, who practiced before him, and 
 regret at his death is general and sincere. His affable and courtly 
 manner charmed all who came within his influence, and it will be 
 hard to name one who can satisfactorily fill the high station from 
 which death has removed him. — Taken from the "Hawlceye"

 Mary Patterson Stotts, my mother, was the daughter of Captain 
 Joseph and Jane Walker Patterson. Her mother died when she was 
 about 10 years old. Soon after his wife's death her father moved to 
 Adair County, Ky., from Wythe or Eockbridge County, Ysl., taking 
 a large number of servants, two of whom were white English colony 
 emigrants whom grandfather had bought in Virginia. They lived 
 to be very old and died on grandfathers place in a little house built 
 for them not very far from his residence. 
 
 Two of mother's sisters married second cousins, Alexander and 
 David Walker. There are several of their children and grandchil- 
 dren living, mostly in the northwestern states. In 1816, one week 
 before Christmas, my mother started with her uncle, John Kelso 
 Walker and four other gentlemen from Columbia, Ky., perhaps from 
 Harrod's Forks, for a horseback ride of 500 miles. She was accom- 
 panying her uncle back to his home in Virginia ; he had chosen her 
 out of a family of eight girls for a year's visit. Owing to the cir- 
 cuitous route, bad roads and swollen streams the trip occupied three 
 weeks. Her riding habit was olive green broadcloth, skirt and pelisse. 
 Clothing to last a year was put into saddle bags. The fancy work she 
 carried was a bed-spread to "floss" ; the cotton filling and linen warp 
 was raised on her father's plantation in Kentucky ; mother spun both, 
 enough for two counterpanes, and her sister, Jane, wove them 
 'mucker back." Polly Patterson's is now in my possession, the other 
 one is owned by Jane Patterson Casey at Ft. Madison, la. It would 
 take too much of your space to go into details of her visit — their trip 
 to Katural Bridge ; her visit to Providence Church where she saw 
 the stately, bewigged gentlemen and gracious ladies walk up the 
 aisles and turn about for their colored servants to unlock the doors 
 of their pews, when they were once inside scarcely being able to be 
 seen over the high partitions. Mother never tired of telling us of 
 these experiences of her life, which were varied and rich in many 
 ways. After 5 children were born to them, my parents emigrated 
 to Sangamon County, 111., in 1832. They came principally to be 
 away from the evil influences of slavery.

 Va. ; m. in 1882 to Eleanor Johnson of Maryland. She was b. April, 
 1802. His family were all members of the Presbyterian Church. 
 From 1822 nntil 1829 he took charge of his father's farm, conduct- 
 ing it with more than ordinary success; moved with his family in 
 1829 to Marion County, Mo., his family consisting at that time of 
 a wife, four children, his father and step-mother. In 1837 he came 
 to West Point, la. Here he and two brothers-in-law purchased the 
 town site of West Point, all three locating on farms adjoining the 
 town site. Here Colonel Patterson remained until 1846, when he 
 disposed of the major portion of his interests there and moved to 
 Keokuk, la. He was a member of the State Constitutional Con- 
 vention that met in Iowa City in 1857 and framed the present con- 
 stitution of the state. President Pierce unsolicited made him Post- 
 master at Keokuk, and President Buchanan reappointed him. He 
 was several times a member of the city council and three times Mayor 
 of Keokuk, first in 1860, then 1865, and again in 1866 ; alderman 
 three years. In 1838 he was elected a member of the first Legislature 
 of the Territory of Iowa, being elected several times to both upper 
 and lower house. In 1864 he was one of the Vice-Presidents of the 
 National Democratic Convention at Chicago. 
 
 Eor many years as head of the packing firm of Patterson & Tim- 
 berman, he was one of the business kings of the Mississippi Valley. 
 He was the prime mover in a movement for building the first Pres- 
 byterian Church in his community, contributing $5000 for the erec-

 tion of the same. His father was a man of considerable means, but 
 by repeatedly endorsing notes for his friends, finally became finan- 
 cially embarassed, but his son, "Billy," as he was then called, went 
 to work in earnest, assumed the indebtedness of his father, bought 
 horses on time, drove them south and sold them, and with the money 
 thus obtained the old debts were finally all paid. He was a grand, 
 good man, loved and respected by all who knew him; a faithful and 
 leading member of the Westminister Presbyterian Church. He died 
 Oct. 3, 1889, at his home in Keokuk. His wife died April 2, 1880,

 The history of the old Bible, which will probably come to him, is 
 as follows: 
 
 James Rutherford, who married Margaret McMahan, d. April 26, 
 1768, and left the Bible to his eldest dan., Jene Walker Hudson, who 
 died Oct. 15, 1777, and left the Bible to her oldest daughter, Mar- 
 garet Hudson, who married J ohn Walker. Margaret Hudson Walker 
 died Oct. 23, 1782, and left the Bible to her eldest daughter, Jean 
 Walker, who married J oseph Patterson. Jane Walker Patterson died 
 Dec. 23, 1810, and left the book to her eldest son, John Patterson. 
 He died and left it to his brother, Col. William Patterson. He died 
 Oct. 23, 1888, and left it to his eldest daughter, Mary Ann Patter- 
 son Creel, of Keokuk, la. She died Aug. 15, 1898, and left this old 
 Bible to her eldest living daughter, Abba Beatrice Creel Walker, of 
 Anaconda, Montana. 
 
 Thus the book goes back into a family by the name of Walker. 
 And the next in line to own the book will be Mrs. Walker's son, David 
 Creel Walker, No. 2122, should he outlive his mother. 
 
 In the old book the name Jane is spelled Jean. This Bible was 
 printed in 1621. The name John McKnight, born 1627, is written 
 in the book. It was brought from Scotland by John Walker when 
 he left for Ireland, and from there to America.

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 JAMES ALEXANDER Walker 5 (2147) (Thomas 4 , John 3 , Alex- 
 ander 2 , John 1 ) ; b. Aug. 8, 1822 ; educated at a classical school taught 
 by his pastor, Rev. J ames Morrison ; Captain of a Rifle Company be- 
 fore the war, but exempt from service on account of poor health, but 
 provided a substitute; m. Sept. 25, 1851, Mary E. Brown, dau. of 
 Daniel Brown. (For descendants of this family, see Mary E. Brown, 
 No. 1029.) 
 
 James A. Walker's dau. Margaret, who lives on the old home at 
 Jump P. 0., Rockbridge County, Va., gives some interesting inci- 
 dents connected with the family history. She says : "Squire Joseph 
 Walker, grandson of Alexander (called Sandy), was a fine marks- 
 man; always used one of those old guns made by the John Walkers. 
 On one occasion a flock of wild turkeys came in sight; he shot one 
 and sent for his son, Dr. Zachariah, to come out and help them eat 
 turkey. He came and when his father was telling of the fine shot he 
 had made, the Doctor intimated that it was probably an accident. A 
 few days later the Squire shot another fine bird. He immediately 
 sent a servant post-haste to Brownsburg inviting Dr. Zachariah and 
 his wife to come out to another 'accident.' 
 
 "The old gun used by the Squire was given to the museum of 
 Washington and Lee University. Dr. Zachariah was at one time a 
 member of New Providence Church, but was not connected with any 
 church at the time of his death. He had many noble traits of char- 
 acter, but had an unfortunate temper which occasionally caused him 
 great trouble. There is an old fort about one-half mile from our 
 home that our Walker ancestors helped to build about the year 1734, 
 and I think that James, son of John and Katherine, lived there. He 
 lies buried in the graveyard on the hill near this fort which is now 
 owned by Mr. Stuart. It has been in the Stuart family for years. 
 
 "I have an old Bible that belonged to my grandfather, John 
 Walker. Mother thinks it is one that Alexander, who married Jane 
 Hammer, used and left here when he went to Highbridge to live. It 
 has recorded in it the death of Alexander, also some other dates. 
 The grave of John Walker is not marked ; that of his wife, Margaret, 
 who is buried by his side, is marked by a limestone rock placed there 
 by my father. 
 
 "John and Katherine emigrated to America in 1726 or 1728; my 
 father and grandfather always said it was in 1726, other settlers 
 thought it was 1728. John, in company with other emigrants, visit-

 eel the Valley of Virginia where a Mr. Hays had settled a few years 
 before, all this section of country at that time being a forest. Find- 
 ing the climate milder, the soil fertile and everything attractive, he 
 concluded to settle here, decided on a location, cleared off a portion of 
 land, erected a log cabin and then returned to Pennsylvania, expect- 
 ing to bring his family, but sickened and died soon after, and there 
 he was buried. In the fall of 1734 Alexander and his two cousins 
 removed to Virginia, and later the most, if not all, of the family left 
 Pennsylvania and came to Virginia. Later some of them went to 
 Kentucky and some to what is now Augusta County. Alexander, son 
 of the emigrant, remained in Eockbridge. His father had I think 
 made a payment on the land selected, and it has ever since remained 
 in the Walker family. The farm houses were built near a fine, large 
 spring. The present house was built by my father in 1857, the 
 kitchen part of which is still standing. John Walker was said to 
 have been a good and pious man of wonderful physical strength, and 
 one that stood high in Scotland as a God fearing man of prayer and 
 good deeds, being noted as an unusually brave man. Katherine, his 
 wife, and Isabel Allein, his grandmother, were said to have been 
 pious, good women. I have often heard my father talk of these old 
 people, the story having been told him and handed down from genera- 
 tion to generation as a precious legacy. There is an old chair which 
 the emigrants brought with them from Ireland, also an old chest, 
 and a pair of iron-framed spectacles which belonged to the emigrant, 
 J ohn Walker. So far as I know this is all there is left of the things 
 which this family brought from their old home across the water. My 
 grandfather had a powerful voice. On one occasion he had gone a 
 mile and a half from home to salt the cattle ; hearing wolves coming, 
 he turned his horse loose and climbed a large tree, then began calling 
 to his. friends. This had the desired effect of not only summoning 
 help but scared the wolves away as well; this was about 1820." 
 
 JOHN KELSO Walker 4 (1957) (John 3 , Alexander 2 , John 1 ) ; b. 
 Sept. 10, 1790, in the Virginia Valley. In the fall of 1816 he came 
 in company with Eev. Samuel Brown and Joseph Walker (grandson 
 of Alexander of Scotland) on horseback to Missouri. He had receiv- 
 ed a liberal education and was well qualified to occupy almost any 
 position; was elected Mayor and High Sheriff of St. Louis, which 
 office he held for nearly 20 years ; was a large land holder, elegant in

 Of six children he was the only one to survive infancy. His mother 
 died when he was sixteen years old; educated at Kemper College; 
 graduated with honor at the age of 21 ; then read law in the office of 
 Edward Bates, but concluding that certain phases of the practice 
 would be distasteful to him, he abandoned the study for that of medi- 
 cine, and in 1849 graduated with marked distinction from the Mc- 
 Dowell Medical College. In this profession he met with a gratifying 
 and uniform practice. Among his acquaintances Dr. Walker was 
 known as a man of strong convictions and of marked piety, having 
 united with the church early in life, and at all times being prominent 
 in the Christian work of the community; m. Feb. 11, 1847, Mary

 The Eev. Hugh Kelso Walker, D. D., is a Tennessean by birth and 
 education — born at Eogersville and educated at Sweetwater College 
 from which he was graduated in 1881 at the age of twenty. Im- 
 mediately on leaving college he entered Auburn Seminary where he 
 took his theological course. He was licensed by New Castle Presby- 
 tery in the spring of 1884, when he accepted the call to his first 
 charge at Greenhill near Wilmington, Delaware. This pastorate was 
 scarce more than a year, but was wonderfully blessed, over one hun- 
 dred members being received upon confession of faith. Other pas- 
 torates served have been Valatic, New York ; Marietta, Georgia ; Bir- 
 mingham, Alabama; and the Central Church of Baltimore. After 
 having been in Baltimore four and one-half years he was surprised 
 by a unanimous call to the Immanuel Church of Los Angeles, to suc- 
 ceed Dr. W. J. Chichester who had been so reluctantly released to go 
 to the Chicago First Church. The Immanuel Church, Dr. Walker's 
 present pastorate, has a membership of 1454, the largest church of 
 our denomination on the coast. Dr. Walker is deservedly popular 
 both as a pastor and a preacher. He is an indefatigable worker, with 
 a sunny and generous heart; frank, sympathetic, earnest; a warm 
 friend of Occidental College and all the work of the church on the 
 coast. A year since the University of Alabama honored him with the 
 degree of Doctor of Divinity.

 The Sentiments of the Several Companies of Militia and 
 Freeholders of Augusta, in Virginia, Communicated by 
 the Deputies from the said Companies and Freeholders 
 to their Representatives in the General Assembly of 
 the Commonwealth. 
 
 Gentlemen: — We have chosen you at a very critical juncture to 
 represent us in the General Assembly of our Commonwealth, and 
 need not tell you that we place great confidence in you. Your being 
 elected by us, in such times as these, to an important office of trust, 
 will sufficiently prove it, and show, at the same time, our respect for 
 you and the sense we have of your abilities and virtue. 
 
 Our independence of Great Britain and every other nation, we 
 are determined upon, without a nice calculation of costs ; for if possi- 
 ble to effect and preserve liberty for ourselves and unborn generations, 
 we think it will be a noble equivalent for much blood and treasure, 
 and we trust a full balance of all our losses. 
 
 Attempts, unnatural, cruel and unjust, to rob us of our most valu- 
 able rights and privileges, having roused almost all America to de- 
 fend them, forgetting the illiberal treatment which a difference in 
 religious sentiments, in some misguided places, has produced. All 
 denominations have unanimously rushed to arms to defend the com- 
 mon cause. Their unanimity has made them formidable to their

 - • , ■ 1 
 
 enemies ; their unanimity will be ever preserved by giving equal lib- 
 erty to them all; nor do they crave this as the pittance of courtesy, 
 but demand it as their patrimony, that cannot be withheld from them 
 without the most flagitious fraud, pride and injustice, which, if prac- 
 ticed, may shake this continent and demolish provinces. 
 
 This we think our representatives in convention, last June, had 
 fully in view. Besides other things, they declared, "that all men are 
 equally entitled to the free exercise of their religion, or the duty they 
 owe to their Creator, and the manner of discharging it according to 
 their consciences." We take this to be the true and full meaning of 
 their words, without any unjust view of favoring some to the hurt of 
 others, and we view their declaration in this light as a most happy 
 proof of their wisdom and virtue. Hereby men, how different soever 
 in their religious opinions, are united in defense of our invaluable 
 inheritance, which they can equally call their own. Hereby jealous- 
 ies, oppositions, and we believe all the plagues of jarring interests, 
 will be prevented, their united force being employed to accomplish 
 the same ends, and the only strife be who will become the most ap- 
 provable, wise, and useful members in society. 
 
 While we most pressingly request you as individuals, or members 
 of the same community, to use your best endeavors to promote the 
 general good, we do, gentlemen, as your representatives most solemn- 
 ly require you, and positively command you, that, in the General As- 
 sembly of this Commonwealth, you declare it the ardent desire and 
 unanimous opinion of your constituents, should such a declaration 
 become necessary, that all religious denominations within this domin- 
 ion be forthwith put in the fall possession of equal liberty, without 
 preference or pre-eminence, which, while it may favor one, can hurt 
 another, and that no religious sect whatever be established in this 
 Commonwealth. This, from its apparent tendency to promote, and 
 most effectually to secure the good of our country, we earnestly wish 
 to see established ; and we hope the number of interested bigots, illib- 
 eral politicians, or of disguised enemies to the freedom and happiness 
 of Virginia, will be too small and contemptible to prevent or obstruct 
 a matter of such extensive utility, a matter so just that the contrary is 
 most evidently iniquitous, destructive and oppressive. But should the 
 future conduct of our legislative body prove to you that our opinion 
 of their wisdom and justice is ill-grounded, then tell them that 
 your constituents are neither guided nor will ever be influenced by 
 
294 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 that slavish maxim in politics, "that whatever is enacted by that body 
 of men in whom the supreme power of the state is vested must in all 
 cases be implicitly obeyed/' and that they firmly believe, attempts tp 
 repeal an unjust law can be vindicated beyond a simple remonstrance 
 addressed to the legislators. 
 
 These, gentlemen, are the sentiments with which we have been en- 
 trusted, by communicating of which we have discharged the duties 
 of our deputation. Other things, how material soever they may be, 
 are committed to your prudence and unremitting care, to be managed 
 conformable to the declaration of rights. 
 
 We are, for ourselves, and the companies and freeholders for whom 
 we act, gentlemen, your most obedient, humble servants,

 SCOTT FAMILY. 
 
 In an old Bible, which was one of the first Protestant Bibles to be 
 circulated and which the family brought with them from Ireland to 
 America, was found this information regarding the first of the name 
 known to us: The Scotts from whom I am descended originally 
 came from Scotland. The first of the name of whom we have any 
 record was John Scott. He was born in Scotland, went to Ireland, 
 where he was a soldier in the strifes of that country known as the 
 Irish Rebellion, and lost an arm in the service. Soon after this he

 several of his (Cyrus's) uncles were in the Revolution. This would include James Walker 
 as there were only two others old enough for such service.

 came to the United States and married a Miss Thornton, presumably 
 of Virginia. 
 
 JOHN Scott and Thornton, his wife, had three sons and one 
 
 daughter, as follows : 
 
 a. William Scott. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, 
 
 being in the engagement at King's Mountain, Oct. 7, 1780. 
 
 b. Thomas Scott. He was also a soldier in the Kevolutionary 
 
 war, being at the King's Mountain battle. 
 
 c. Samuel Scott; b. 1762, in North Carolina. He was a Revolu- 
 
 tionary soldier, being only sixteen years old when he entered 
 the service as a minute man in a volunteer company which 
 was raised to go against Ferguson. He was at the engage- 
 ment at King's Mountain, N. C. He came to Kentucky 
 with Daniel Boone and his colony about 1783 and located 
 at Boone Station where he lived seven or eight years. He 
 married Martha McCorkle Aug. 5, 1782, in Jessamine 
 County, Ky. She was b. July 12, 1768, and d. Sept. 17, 
 1863. He d. Dec. 12, 1820. 
 
 d. Martha Scott; m. William Frost. Their son, Stephen, m. 
 
 Jane F. Walker (No. 2287). 
 
 SAMUEL Scott (c) and his wife, Martha McCorkle, were the 
 parents of 15 children, as follows : 
 
 a. John Scott; m. Abbie Stevenson. 
 
 b. Thomas Scott; m. Mary Makimson and afterwards Mrs. Davis.

 He was born April 8, 1812. His mother was a sister of Joseph

 McCorkle. The father died when he was but eight years old, but the 
 mother lived to be ninety-five. Many times she related to this her 
 youngest child the stories of the trials and privations of her early life 
 when her parents came as pioneers to Kentucky, and of their narrow 
 escape from the Indians at Boone Station. She also told him of his 
 father's joining the volunteer forces raised to march against Fergu- 
 son in North Carolina. There is no record of Samuel Scott's service 
 in this battle, but William Thornton Scott, who lived to be eighty- 
 three years and ten months old (died in Feb., 1896), left a written 
 statement of the facts in the case, and upon this statement several 
 descendants of Samuel Scott have joined the Eevolutionary Societies 
 of this country. William T. Scott was a member of one of these and 
 was invited by the Sons of The American Eevolution to attend their 
 meeting in Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 7, 1895. This meeting was held on 
 North Carolina day of the Atlanta Exposition. There were many 
 patriotic speeches, one by W. T. Scott, the only surviving son of the 
 nine hundred patriots of that battle. 
 
 When the civil war broke out he, being too old to go himself, sent 
 three sons to fight for the Union. After the close of the war the fam- 
 ily moved to Holton, Kansas. His daughter, Mrs. Martha A. Hand, 
 served several years as State Eegent for the Daughters of the Eevolu- 
 tion in Kansas. She joined this society in recognition of her grand- 
 father, Samuel Scott's, service at King's Mountain. W. T. Scott- 
 was a member of the Presbyterian Church, serving as a ruling elder 
 for over fifty years. He attended three of the General Assemblies as 
 a delegate, an honor conferred on few elders. 
 
 It was my good fortune to see and know this good man. He was 
 an unusually good conversationalist, and being possessed of a re- 
 markable memory, could relate many interesting and amusing inci- 
 dents relating to the early history of the family. He told of attend- 
 ing the wedding of Samuel Scott Walker (my grandfather) and 
 Sarah Allen ; Scott Walker as he was called, being a nephew of W. T. 
 Scott's. He also mentioned the fact that his father's family of fif- 
 teen children were never all at home at one time, some of the older 
 ones being married and living in homes of their own before he, the 
 youngest one, was born.

 marriage. The}' owned a farm of about three hundred acres, and 
 raised a great deal of tobacco. Mrs. Walker (Elizabeth Scott) was 
 the third child of Samuel and Martha McCorkle Scott, who were 
 married and lived in Virginia, and then came to Kentucky, encoun- 
 tering many privations on the way. At one time they were attacked 
 by the Indians and several of their party killed (this was in August, 
 1786). Mrs. MeClure, who was traveling with them, and her young 
 child were slain. One girl was tomahawked, scalped and left for 
 dead, but Martha Scott found and cared for her, and insisted on car- 
 rying her back to the Fort, where she eventually recovered. Samuel 
 Scott, father of Elizabeth Walker above mentioned, was a Revolu- 
 tionary soldier, entering the volunteer service at the age of sixteen, 
 as a minute man. He was in the memorable battle of King's Moun- 
 tain, X. C, in which Ferguson was defeated. He came to Kentucky 
 with Daniel Boone and his party in 17 S3, and located on Dick's River 
 at Boone Station, where his son Thomas was born. She was born 
 April 6, 1788 ; m. 180 . Their 11 children were as follows :

 County. She was the only daughter of William Allen and Elizabeth 
 Tilford. William Allen was a son of Macum Allen, who lived in 
 Botetourt County, Va. His other sons were James, John and Moses, 
 and all except Moses lived and died in Adair County, Ky. William 
 served in the War of 1812, and died of yellow fever in New Orleans 
 (or Memphis). Sarah Ann Allen was born and raised in Adair

 very strict temperance woman. She d. in Nov., 1882, in Cowley 
 County, Kas., at the home of her son, Cyrus. 
 
 Samuel S. Walker served as sheriff four years in Fairfield, Jeffer- 
 son County, la. He also served as postmaster in Columbia, Marion 
 County, la., for two years. He was postmaster at Belinda, Lucas 
 County, la., for over twenty years. A number of years after his go- 
 ing out of office, the government officials at Washington in checking 
 up his accounts, found that there was $30 to his credit. This had 
 been accumulating during the twenty years of his postmastership, as 
 in making his returns to the government, he always preferred to give 
 them the advantage, and favored them, rather than to turn out a de- 
 faulter, never thinking that the amount thus overpaid, would be re- 
 turned to him. His honesty and integrity was manifested in all his 
 dealings with his fellowmen. He resigned in favor of William Oiler. 
 
 He made two trips to the Kocky Mountains in company with his 
 son-in-law, B. B. Siggins. 
 
 When Samuel Scott moved to Jefferson County, la., it was a wil- 
 derness, occupied only by Indians. His farm occupied the place 
 where Glasgow now stands. 
 
 In 1840 Gov. Dodge appointed him Colonel of the State Militia, 
 and by that title, he was known ever afterwards. 
 
 He removed to Kansas in 1880, and lived there until he went to 
 Florida in the fall of 1890, where he died Jan. 22, 1892, of Brighfs 
 disease, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Melissa Smith.

 DEATH OF SAMUEL SCOTT WALKER. 
 
 A recent announcement brings the sad tidings of the death of Sam- 
 uel Scott Walker, one of the early pioneers of Iowa, formerly of Jef- 
 ferson County and more recently of Lucas County. He died at the 
 home of his daughter, Mrs. Smith, in Bartow, Florida. 
 
 Scott Walker, by which name he was familiarly known to his old 
 friends and neighbors, was a Kentuckian by birth, and the possessor, 
 in an eminent degree, of all those generous impulses which the name 
 Kentuckian implies. In early manhood he emigrated to central Illi- 
 nois. Imbued with the spirit of adventure possessed by the hardy 
 pioneers of those days, he saw beyond the "Father of Waters" and a 
 little nearer the setting sun, a virgin soil awaiting the efforts of the 
 husbandman. In obedience to this impulse, in the early forties in 
 company with the Hardins and the Butlers, themselves of the best 
 blood of the Blue Grass State, he pushed westward to the "Black 
 Hawk Purchase," settling on what has long been known as Round 
 Prairie, in Jefferson County. Here, like his fellow pioneers, his ef- 
 forts were directed to the securing of a home, the proper care and 
 support of his family, and to the development of a new country. 
 
 He was a man of intelligence. He carefully watched the growth 
 and wants of the community in which he cast his lot, and by wise 
 counsel assisted in giving direction to proper conduct of its affairs. 
 
 Politically Walker was a Whig. In the early days referred to and 
 for many years after, J efferson County rarely failed to give a Demo- 
 cratic majority for the whole ticket. This record was badly disfig- 
 ured by the nomination of Walker as the Whig candidate for sheriff. 
 To fitness for the position he added well deserved popularity. He 
 was elected by a handsome majority and discharged the duties of 
 the office to the satisfaction of all. 
 
 At the disruption of the Whig party he (with a numerous and 
 honorable company) was left in the predicament of the Indian, who 
 wandering aimlessly about, was asked if he was lost, and proudly re- 
 plied, "No ! Me not lost. Wigwam lost." 
 
 It is believed that he never thereafter acted in full accord with 
 either of the other parties. 
 
 About 1852 he removed to Lucas County, where he opened a farm 
 on the highway from Chariton to Knoxville and midway between 
 these points. Through Scott Walker the old saying that "the latch 
 string is always out," was literally and practically verified. No way-

 f arer ever halted at his home without a cordial welcome from all, and 
 the best the place afforded was freely furnished for his comfort. 
 
 The writer remembers with pleasure a visit to Walker's Lucas 
 County home. Like the man, the house was of rude exterior but 
 radiant and joyous within. Music, books and conversation furnished 
 the pabulum while the inner man was regaled and fortified for the 
 journey before him. 
 
 Scott Walker was a pronounced type of the Western pioneer. His 
 class laid broad and deep the foundations of the empire we enjoy. 
 Of them, let us honor the living and revere the dead. 
 
 Walker died full of years and in the "Land of Flowers." May the 
 bloom over his grave be perennial. His memory will be held in 
 pleasant recollection by all who knew him.

 seven years in the Kevolutionary War. He m. a dau. of George Fry, 
 a very wealthy citizen of Culpepper, Va. Elizabeth. Fry Nelson 
 Walker d. March 23, 1888, at the age of sixty-seven years. 
 
 Louis F. Walker was a farmer, and always lived in Adair County, 
 Kentucky. He d. there on Sept. 5, 1882. 
 
 Henry Clay Walker, son of Louis, says of his father: "He was 
 very much like his father, Alexander. He was six feet two, fair com- 
 plexion, dark hair, blue eyes ; was of a very generous disposition, fond 
 of entertaining his friends. He was a Union man during the war, 
 but befriended the needy soldiers of both sides when they came to his 
 door, sick or hungry; has been known to feed as many as one hun- 
 dred men and horses in a single day, my mother, with the help of 
 two negro women, preparing the food and waiting on the sick, who 
 often remained for days at a time. Scarcely a day passed during 
 three years but what we had calls for help. Father's horses, cattle, 
 wagons and harnesses were freely given, and no remuneration was 
 ever received for any service rendered or material supplied. Grand- 
 mother found a home with us; she survived grandfather 20 years. 
 Father also took care of mother's aunt, Mildred Craig, for ten years, 
 after she was totally blind ; sister Patsy Ann, a very sweet, patient 
 girl, was given the care of Aunt Mildred, to whom she gave the most 
 devoted attention. When father died he left little of this world's 
 goods, but I feel sure by his Christian deeds he went to a well earned 
 reward. 
 
 "After the war the slaves of my father wished to remain with him. 
 They all loved mother and father, and felt that they were their best 
 friends. Father belonged to the Presbyterian Church and mother to 
 the Methodist. When Grandfather Alexander Walker and Elizabeth 
 Scott were married (1803), they moved from Woodford County, 
 Ky., to Adair County, Ky. They had a little cabin on a piece of 
 land grandfather bought. They had but little furniture; grand- 
 mother had the only bureau in the neighborhood, which she said 
 made her feel a little aristocratic. They went to work clearing up 
 their farm; being frugal and industrious, they built a very large, 
 commodious brick house, and had in time a well cleared farm. They 
 raised, besides their own eleven children, six others, one a brother's 
 child, and three were his cousin's children; also a negro child — the 
 mother had been sold to a trader when her child was only three 
 months old; she begged Grandfather to buy it, which he did. For

 many years Grandfather drove a six-horse team to and from Louis- 
 ville, a distance of 100 miles, carrying goods. He had a negro driver 
 named Herod, who was often entrusted with large sums of money, 
 sent by different merchants in payment for goods. In regard to 
 great-grandfather, James Walker, I know but little. I think I have 
 heard grandmother say that he was a Lieutenant in the war of the 
 Bevolution, but we have no records." 
 
 Eight children, viz : 
 
 2430. Henry Clay Walker. He was b. Sept. 11, 1813, during 
 
 the campaign of Clay and Polk for the Presidency, and 
 his grandfather, being a very staunch Whig, gave this 
 child Clay's full name. Henry Clay was about eighteen 
 years old when the war broke out. He did not join the 
 army, but was on the Union side, and took part in one 
 very hard fight with Captain Hindman, who came from 
 Bowling Green and attacked the pickets of General Bud. 
 The pickets were stationed at Gradyville, eight miles 
 from Columbia. Henry Clay was captured by Captain 
 Hindman, but made his escape in time to report the situ- 
 ation to General Bud, and save an attack on the forces at 
 Columbia. April 8, 1875, Henry Clay Walker m. Sarah 
 Alice Turk, a dau. of Colonel William C. Turk. Henry 
 Clay Walker and wife now live at G-radyville, Adair 
 County, Ky., where he is a farmer and undertaker. 2

 Burton, and was born and raised in Columbia, Adair 
 County, Ky. They moved to Warsaw, 111., just before 
 the war, and Edward Burton enlisted at Cairo, HI. He 
 was on the Mississippi Biver on a gunboat called "The 
 Little Bebel.*' After the war was over he returned to 
 Columbia, and taught school for a few years in Adair 
 County. He then went into the mercantile business in 
 Gradyville, where he spent the last eight years of his life. 
 He d. May 18, 1878. They had no children, and the 
 widow, Susan Emily Walker Burton, is living at present 
 (1898) in Columbia. Ky.

 The following obituary notice was printed in her home paper after 
 her death: 
 
 "Mrs. Margaret A. Hindman, mother of Ex-Governor J. E. Hind- 
 man of this city, died at her home near Gradyville, last Wednesday 
 morning. Had she lived until December the 9th, she would have 
 been seventy-eight years old. She was an excellent Christian lady; 
 was a consistent member of the Cumberland Presb} r terian Church, 
 and her influence for good has been felt in the neighborhood where 
 she has lived all her life. 
 
 "Her husband, Mr. Alexander Hindman, died fourteen years ago, 
 and at the time of her death, she was living with her youngest son, 
 Mr. Charles M. Hindman, at the old home where she was reared and 
 married. 
 
 "She has reared a large family, and those of her children who sur- 
 vive her are, Governor J. E. Hindman, of Columbia; Mr. W. A. 
 Hindman; Mr. Charles M. Hindman; and Mrs. J. D. Flowers, of 
 Gradyville; and Mrs. John Keen, of Clinton County. 
 
 "The funeral services were conducted by Eev. W. H. C. Sandidge, 
 of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and the remains were laid 
 to rest by the side of her husband in the burial place on the farm, in 
 the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. 
 
 "Mrs. Hindman will be greatly missed from the neighborhood 
 where she has so long lived."

 JAMES EOBEET Hindman 6 (2442) (Margaret 5 , Alexander 4 , 
 James 3 , Alexander 2 , John 1 ) . Gov. James E. Hindman, one of Adair 
 
320 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 County's best known men, was born on a farm in the country where 
 his great-grandfather, grandfather and father each lived until their 
 death . 
 
 The early education of Gov. Hindman was obtained in the district 
 schools, and his occupation was that of working on a farm until he 
 was twenty-two years old, when he enlisted as a private in the Thir- 
 teenth Kentucky Infantry, commanded by Colonel E. H. Hobson. 
 He was soon elected Lieutenant of Company C, and afterwards pro- 
 moted to Captain of Company H. 
 
 During the last year of the war, he served as Chief of Ordnance of 
 the Second Division of the 23rd Army Corps. He was mustered out 
 of the service in the year 1865. 
 
 His record was that of a brave, fearless man, who stood by the flag 
 of the Union, and returned from the fray with the consciousness of 
 having performed his duty to the best of his ability. 
 
 When the war closed, with Gov. Hindman — as with all true sol- 
 diers — it ended, and he set about the task of preparing himself for 
 a useful career as a citizen. 
 
 Soon after his return from the service, he was nominated and 
 elected to represent Adair County in the Lower House of the Ken- 
 tucky General Assembly, and was re-elected in 1867 and 1869. His 
 services were highly appreciated by his constituents, and it is but 
 meet to say that no other county in Kentucky was more ably repre- 
 sented. 
 
 Having read law at intervals, he determined after returning from 
 the Legislature, to make it a profession, and after a course of diligent 
 and well directed study, he was admitted to the practice. His natur- 
 ally legal mind and acquired knowledge soon placed him in rank 
 with the leading attorneys of this section, and for the ensuing eight 
 years he was a successful practitioner, and in 1879 he was again in- 
 duced to accept the Legislative nomination and served with credit 
 alike to himself and his constituency during the sessions of 1879 and 
 1880. 
 
 In 1883 he was nominated by the State Democratic Convention as 
 a candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Gov. J. Proc- 
 tor Knott. Being elected, he served for four years to the satisfaction 
 of the people of Kentucky. When his term of office expired, he again 
 returned to his home, and took up the practice of his chosen profes- 
 sion, but in 1892, the Democracy demanded his services as a Con- 
 
JOHN" WALKER. 
 
 321 
 
 gressional candidate from the Eleventh district, and ever faithful to 
 the wishes of his friends, he accepted the nomination, and while de- 
 feated — the district being largely Kepublican — made a most vigorous 
 campaign. _ 
 
 He was Chairman of the Sound Money Convention, which was 
 held in Louisville in September of last year, and his services in the 
 cause during the campaign were highly appreciated by the sound 
 money contingent over the state. 
 
 Gov. Hindman commands the universal respect and confidence of 
 a host of friends. Being a cultured, high-toned Christian gentleman, 
 his influence is for good, and Columbia has many reasons to feel 
 proud of his citizenship. 
 
 Gov. Hindman is a member of the Masonic Order, and also of the 
 Methodist Church. He has often served as a Delegate to the Louis- 
 ville Conference, and twice as a Delegate to the General Conference, 
 which met at Eichmond and St. Louis, respectively. 
 
 In 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Erma Young, who 
 died in 1881, leaving two sons, one of whom has since died. 
 
 In December, 1893, he married Mrs. Fanny M. Eawley of Dallas, 
 Texas.*

 Extract from sketch of Mrs. Davis which appeared in the Creston 
 Citizen July 28, 1898 : 
 
 "When thirteen years of age Elizabeth Findlay came to Illinois 
 (near Carthage), where she resided until her removal to Creston, la., 
 with her sons in August, 1876; m. Thomas J. Dale June 13, 1837. 
 Their eight children died in infancy or early childhood. At the time 
 of her second marriage to S. E. Davis, he had six children to whom 
 she gave a mother's devoted care. Her cousin, James B. Findlay, was 
 one of the pioneer evangelists of the West. She was a deeply religious 
 woman, her abiding faith being a never failing source of joy and con- 
 solation from early childhood until the last moment of her life, when 
 she entered the land of infinite peace, above the storms which beat 
 upon the shores of time." 
 
 Squire Eutherford Davis was born in Warren County, Tenn., in 
 1808, came to Illinois at the age of 18 years, and settled in Shelby 
 County, from whence he removed to Hancock County, 111. He was 
 a man of natural gifts, but without a college or academic education, 
 being self-made and self-educated. He taught school and farmed; 
 mastered J ohn Stuart Mill's system of logic, and was the ablest math-

 ematician in Illinois in his day. He was the originator and perfeetor 
 of the science of arithmetic which applied the analytical system of 
 cancellation; was author of "Davis' Arithmetic," published in 1853, 
 which had a large sale, and was considered by mathematicians as a 
 masterpiece. It is still in use in western Illinois. He was elected 
 Sheriff of Hancock County, 111., in 1854, and Clerk of the Courts, in 
 1856, from which position he retired in 1864. Their 2 children 
 were : 
 
 2568. Squire Eichard Davis +. 
 
 2569. Thomas Jefferson Davis; lives at Creston, la. + 
 
 SQUIEE EICHAED Davis (2568) was bom near Carthage, 
 Hancock County, 111., July 17, 1854. His father was a native of 
 Tennessee, his mother of Kentucky. As a boy he acquired a taste for 
 politics through constant companionship with his father in his elec- 
 tioneering tours during his political career. 
 
 At the age of fourteen he entered a printing office, together with 
 the duties of which position he kept up the study of the higher 
 branches of the common school system, from both of which he grad- 
 uated at the age of nineteen, a first-class printer and writer of some 
 local celebrity, as resident correspondent of the Illinois State Regis- 
 ter and St. Louis Republican. In 1876 he removed to Creston, la., 
 and became editor and publisher of The Creston Democrat, study- 
 ing law in the meantime. He was admitted to the bar and began the 
 practice of law in 1879. In 1884 he was a nominee of his party for 
 Congress, was defeated by 2300, carrying four counties out of ten, 
 making the strongest fight ever made by any nominee of his party in 
 the district. After his defeat he resumed editorial charge of the 
 Creston Commonwealth; was appointed Postmaster at Creston, by 
 President Cleveland, Aug. 10, 1885. 
 
 Notwithstanding the political reverses of his party in 1888, Mr. 
 Davis, because of his efficiency, integrity and non-partisanship as 
 certified by Hon. J. S. Clarkson and other postoffice officials, was re- 
 tained in office until within a few months of the expiration of his full 
 term. He resigned his position to accept that of Judge of the Su- 
 perior Court to which he was elected b} r a heav^y majority over one of 
 the oldest and ablest attorneys at the Creston bar. The jurisdiction 
 of this court being co-extensive with that of the District Court. This 
 important position was filled with the energy and faithfulness that

 characterizes all his undertakings until 1894, when he followed jour- 
 nalistic and literary work, where he took high rank as a contributor 
 to various high grade publications. His illustrated article, "A Great 
 Farm Eegion," which appeared in the Cosmopolitan for October, 
 1889, was noticed in all of the principal Western papers. He has 
 followed journalistic work in Philadelphia, New York, Washington 
 and Chicago ; established the Creston Citizen in 1898, which consoli- 
 dated with the Des Moines Gazette in Jan., 1899. From Carthage 
 the family removed to Creston, where they remained until 1899, when 
 they went to Des Moines, where they now reside.

 winter of 1874. In the fall of 1875 lie was elected sheriff of Lewis 
 and Clark County, Montana, which office he held for three years. 
 He is now living at Lewistown, Montana, with his daughter and son, 
 his wife having died there Sept. 4, 1896. 
 
 Joseph Culton Walker says that his grandfather, David Walker, 
 lived very near the Natural Bridge in Virginia, and that he has 
 often heard his father say that men came long distances to see the 
 Natural Bridge, and they would ask his father to pilot them to it, 
 which he would do, taking them over and beyond it, and then telling 
 them they had already passed over it when they did not know it. 
 They always came on horseback, that being the mode of travel at that 
 time. 3 children, viz :

 Alexander Milton Walker, when 24 yeais of age, in company with 
 his older brother, Joseph C. Walker, and Allen Hardenbrook, left 
 Iowa in April, 1863, for California on the old Overland Road travel- 
 ling by stage coach. Upon reaching Denver they heard of wonderful 
 discoveries of gold at Bannack, Montana, and so decided to change 
 their route and go there. Purchasing a mule team they reached 
 Bannack June 2, 1863. They remained in Montana until Decem- 
 ber, 1864, when they returned across the plains by stage coach to 
 their old Iowa home, where they spent the winter. In April, having 
 fitted up twelve ox teams and accompanied by Ruby A. Walker, wife 
 of Joseph C, Eliza Walker, their sister, and a younger brother, 
 David D., Allen Hardenbrook, wife and child (now Mrs. Anna 
 Toole) and twelve drivers, they took up the line of march for Mon- 
 tana. When they arrived at Fort Kearney they joined a company of 
 32 wagons, numbering 54 men to the outfit. At that time the gov- 
 ernment would not allow trains to leave the Fort with less than fifty 
 men, as it was necessary to have sufficient force to protect themselves 
 against the Indians who were very hostile, having the previous spring 
 destroyed most of the ranch buildings along the Overland Road. 
 They reached Montana in safety the latter part of September, having 
 been five months on the way. At Virginia City, Oct. 20, 1865, 
 Maggie Montana Walker was born. In 1866 they removed to Helena, 
 where the two brothers, Joseph and Milton engaged in the lumber 
 business under the firm name of Joseph C. Walker & Brother, in 
 which business they continued until 1874. Milton Walker has been 
 chairman of the Board of County Commissioners of Deer Lodge 
 County since 1894, being elected to that office in the fall of 1893. 
 He served three years and was re-elected in the fall of 1896, and still 
 holds that office.

 "I wish to relate one incident in relation to my grandfather, Alex- 
 ander Walker, as I remember hearing my father, Allen H. Walker, 
 relate it, when I was a boy. Sometime in 1790, grandfather wanted 
 to go back to Virginia on business, and as there were no cars in those 
 days, he was in no ways deterred from his purpose by the thought 
 that the journey must be made, if at all, on foot. His preparations 
 were simple. He parched some corn — this he placed in one end of a 
 sack, in the other end he put a saddle of dried venison. After com- 
 mitting his wife and little ones to the care of the Allwise Father, he 
 called his faithful dog and started on his long journey through the 
 trackless forest, which at that time was infested with Indians. At 
 night he would light a fire with the aid of his flint and punk ; after 
 eating his supper he would clear away a warm place to sleep where 
 his fire had been, being careful to put out all the fire, that it might 
 not be the means of disclosing his whereabouts to the Indians. But 
 one night he failed to extinguish all the fire, and was awakened by 
 the growl of his dog. He saw a large Indian standing near, with a 
 drawn tomahawk. He whispered to the dog, "catch him," and with 
 one bound dog and Indian went out into the brush together. The 
 faithful dog soon returned, but grandfather never looked to see what 
 became of the Indian. I write this to show our children some of the 
 perils their forefathers had to endure, before the comfortable homes 
 of to-day were prepared for them.

 until he was regarded as equal in ability to any lawyer in the state 
 and inferior to few, if any, in the West. He continued in successful 
 practice until about the year I860, when he determined to retire and 
 seek repose in his declining years. He was a man of fine and very 
 commanding appearance, and possessed uncommonly fine ability. 
 He was a clear, forcible, racy, ready and eloquent speaker, exercising 
 a powerful control over an audience. He was remarkable for his 
 quickness of perception, as well as the breadth of his comprehension. 
 His arguments were clear, forcible, logical and convincing. He, as 
 a man, was entitled to a high rank among the great men of the West- 
 ern portion of the Union. He was never ambitious or aspiring for 
 office, although twice elected to the general assembly of Kentucky, 
 and once ran for Congress in Illinois, being beaten by the Mormon 
 vote. He was only induced to run at the earnest solicitation of 
 friends, and the urgent action of the party to which he belonged. He 
 died on Camp's Creek, McDonough County, 111., Dec. 1, 1875, aged 
 eighty-four years, six months and twenty-four days.

 CYRUS WALKER. 
 
 One of the Famous Early Lawyers of the Military Tract. 
 
 Hon. J. M. Reid, in his reminiscences of the early settlers of Lee 
 County, Iowa, makes the following references to a man well remem- 
 bered as one of the most influential lawyers known in Western 
 Illinois : 
 
 Cyrus Walker is still a very old man, as he was an old man then, 
 but as active in his movements as a boy of sixteen years of age. He 
 was a great reader — reader of law books and all the current litera- 
 ture of the day — and was fond of quoting the old Norman Law 
 Latin, which he had at his tongue's end. He was always up early in 
 the morning, and was before the trial of a great case ever fruitful in 
 resources: was insinuating and plausible in his address, powerful in 
 argument and popular before a jury. In Mr. Clay's district, in Ken- 
 tucky, where he commenced to practice, in Illinois, his home, and in 
 Iowa he was universally esteemed as a distinguished advocate and an

 able lawyer. When out of court lie smoked a common clay pipe, and 
 when he conversed, which he did with great fluency, he continually 
 snapped his twinkling grey eyes, which were deeply set in his well 
 shaped head, the hair on which he habitually kept cropped short. 
 He had the cunning of a fox. He was much accustomed to have his 
 own way in the courts. When Douglas was made Judge in the Quin- 
 cy District, he tried to rule the court, but failed and declared he 
 never would practice again in Judge Douglas* court, and he kept his 
 word. 
 
 Among others of the more prominent members of the early 
 bar, the most prominent was Hon. Cyrus Walker. Mr. Walker was 
 born in Eockbridge County, Ya., May 14, 1791; was taken when an 
 infant to Kentucky, where he resided until 1833, when he removed 
 to Macomb, McDonough County, 111., where he resided until the day 
 of his death, which took place Dec. 1, 1875. We are indebted to Hon. 
 Hawkins Taylor, of Washington City, for the following sketch, first 
 appearing in the Carthage Gazette, Jan. 5, 1876 : 
 
 "The father of Cyrus Walker and my mother were brother and 
 sister, and we both grow up in the same county — Adair. When the 
 families first went from Virginia to Kentucky, settlers for twenty 
 miles had to assist each other in house raising and log rolling, and 
 for three years the father of Cyrus acted as a ranger, watching the 
 movements of the Indians and warning settlers of approaching trou- 
 ble. His circuit embraced several hundred miles of wild, unsettled 
 country, and he was compelled to live almost entirely on game, and 
 camp out at night. I have often heard him class dried coon as the 
 sweetest meat he ever ate. * Several of the uncles of Cyrus Walker 
 were soldiers in the Revolutionary War — the old stock Irish Presby- 
 terians, all of them learned in the scriptures, and of stern, unyield- 
 ing wills. Cyrus was mainly self-taught, there being no schools in 
 that section of the country at that day, and from the time of his ad- 
 mission to the bar he took high position as a lawyer. At that time, 
 in that part of Kentucky, the lawyers traveled the circuit on horse- 
 back. They were getting ready to attend the Burksville Court when 
 Billy Owens, a man of large ability, kind heart and a good lawyer, 
 but rough and rather dissipated, saw that Walker was not with them. 
 When he hunted him up and inquired the reason, Walker told him 
 that he had no money. Owens at once gave him $15.00 and Walker 
 
 * These were John, William and James Walker. 
 
368

 went along, and was so successful that he paid expenses and took 
 home $37.00, a larger sum than he had ever at one time possessed — 
 and as long as he remained in Kentucky, he was the leading lawyer 
 of that county. Several years later, when Walker was at the head of 
 the bar, Owens, partially under the influence of liquor, made a bitter 
 attack on Walker, during the trial of an important case, to which 
 Walker made no reply, although at that day rather disposed to read- 
 ily resent an insult. Some of his friends inquired the reason. 
 Walker told them of the kind assistance of Owens when he so much 
 needed help and when it did him so much good, remarking that noth- 
 ing that Owens could say that did not affect his integrity would be 
 resented by him. The next morning Owens made an apology to the 
 court for his unjust remarks to Walker. Walker's motto through 
 life was never to forget a friendship or do an injustice to any one. 
 
 "I have often heard Mr. Walker say that he regretted the prosecu- 
 tion of the unfortunate young man that was tried, convicted and 
 hung in your town for a murder committed by him in Frederick, on 
 the Illinois Eiver. He always believed that he could have saved the 
 life of the young man if he had defended him, and while the case 
 was an aggravated one, still Mr. Walker said that nothing could ever 
 induce him to prosecute another man for murder, and he never did — 
 but he defended and got clear a good many that deserved to be hung. 
 
 "When Mr. Walker made a profession of religion, he, for a time, 
 contemplated quitting the law and turning his attention to the min- 
 istry. He was educated to believe that slavery was a sin, and when 
 he joined the church he freed all of his negroes and paid their pas- 
 sage to Liberia. Amongst the number was a sprightly boy who has 
 since risen to distinction in Liberia. This boy had a young and 
 handsome wife, who was the property of the pastor of the Presby- 
 terian Church to which Mr. Walker belonged. When Mr. Walker 
 set his slaves free, he urged the minister to free the wife of the boy 
 he had set free, but the minister refused to do so, saying that he was 
 not able to lose the value of the woman, although he had himself got 
 her by marriage. Mr. Walker sent off his freed people, fully believ- 
 ing that the minister would not separate man and wife when the 
 time for separation came, but he still refused, and Mr. Walker bought 
 and paid for her and sent her on after her husband to Louisville. 
 
 "Mr. Walker removed to McDonough County, 111., in 1833, and 
 lived there until his death. He never moved to Iowa, but he prac-

 ticed there for several years. The partiality of Judge Douglas 
 against him, as he believed, was the cause of his going to Iowa, and 
 his large practice retained him there for several years. 
 
 "Mr. Walker, as you truly say, had a taste for office. He served 
 two terms in the Kentucky Legislature during the great excitement 
 between the "old court"' and the "new court/"' because he was the 
 most popular man on the old court side in the county, and was forc- 
 ed by his friends in the contest to their ticket, and carried the county 
 by a majority of 222, when no other man on his side could have car- 
 ried it. 
 
 "After the formation of congressional districts in Illinois, based 
 on the census of 1840, the Jo Daviess district was largely "Whig with 
 the Mormon vote, but a debatable district, the Mormon vote going to 
 the Democrats. Xearly all the counties in the district had Whigs 
 who wanted to be candidates, but they were willing to give way to 
 Mr. Walker, if he would only consent to be a candidate. Walker was 
 then in Iowa, attending the courts, the last one being in Lee Count}-, 
 lasting several weeks. He stopped with me. His trunk was full of 
 letters from all parts of the district, urging him to allow the use of 
 his name for Congress. Amongst the letters were, at least two, from 
 Joe Smith, and several from George Miller, then Mormon Bishop, 
 but who had formerly lived at Macomb, and was, while there, a 
 brother elder in the Presbyterian Church with Mr. Walker. All of 
 these letters urged Mr. Walker to be a candidate to save the district 
 for the Whigs. Smith, in his letters, pledged the Mormon vote to 
 Walker, if he would allow his name to be used, but would not agree 
 to vote for any other Whig. Mr. Walker had steadily refused to be a 
 candidate, until he felt that his duty to the noble Whig party requir- 
 ed him to make the sacrifice, but when he entered into the contest he 
 was terribly in earnest and went into the fight with a will. Alexan- 
 der Sympson, one of God's people, and myself were to watch the 
 movement at Xauvoo. It was well understood by Walker and his 
 friends that the Democracy would not give up the Mormon vote with- 
 out a great effort. One of the Backinstose's was sheriff, and the 
 other, clerk of the Hancock Circuit Court, and Douglas was a candi- 
 date for Congress in the Adams district, and, I suppose, became satis- 
 fied that things were not working well in Xauvoo, and went down to 
 Warsaw to meet Mr. Walker who was there holding a joint discussion 
 with his opponent, Hoge. That night Mr. Walker went up to Xau-

 voo. The next morning he called on Joe Smith and told him that 
 he released him from all the pledges made to give him the Mormon 
 vote, but in turn asked honest dealing, telling Smith that if it was 
 necessary for their — the Mormon's — safety from arrest by the state 
 authorities that he should vote for Hoge, that he would tell him so, 
 and in that event he would at once go to Galena and spend the bal- 
 ance of time before the election in the northern part of the district. 
 Joe said with great vehemence, e I promised you the support of this 
 church and you shall have it. You stay here and meet Hoge on 
 Thursday/ Mr. Walker was worn out in the canvass, and not well, 
 and he stopped with Joe. The joint discussion between the candi- 
 dates took place, and everything indicated that Walker would get the 
 united vote of the church. On Saturday the voters of the church, in 
 city and country, were called together in the grove near the temple, 
 where Hyrum Smith made a speech of about one hour, urging the 
 voters to vote for Hoge. It was a regular Democratic speech and ap- 
 peared to have no influence. He was followed by Wilson Law in a 
 bold, telling Whig speech, in favor of Walker, and from the com- 
 mencement until the end, he was cheered by the entire Mormon audi- 
 ence. At the close of the speech, Hyrum arose black and furious, 
 stretching himself to his full height and extending his arms to their 
 full length, said, 'Thus saith the Lord, if this people vote against 
 Hoge for Congress on Monday, a greater curse would befall them 
 than befell them in Missouri. When God speaks, let men obey/ and 
 immediately left the stand, and the whole audience dispersed in si- 
 lence. "When Walker heard of Hyrum's speech he was indignant, 
 and was for leaving Joe's house, but Joe stopped him, professing to 
 be furiously mad at Hyrum, saying that he would himself make a 
 speech to the people on Sunday morning, and he again repeated the 
 pledge that Mr. Walker should have the Mormon vote. The next 
 morning J oe did speak to the people for just one hour, and no hour's 
 speech ever had closer attention. In that speech Joe passed the high- 
 est eulogy on Walker that I ever heard from man. He denounced 
 politicians, declaring that Walker was not a politician, but an honest 
 and a true man, that had been forced to be a candidate against his 
 will. He denounced in the most bitter terms any member of the 
 church who would consult the Lord about who they should vote for, 
 and declared that if any one should do it, he should be cut off from

 salvation ; said that lie would vote for his friend Cyrus Walker, and 
 commanded all to vote for the man of their choice without reference 
 to what any one said; but in his hour's praise of Walker, and denun- 
 ciation of any one that would consult the Lord about who they should 
 vote for, he said: 'Brother Hyrum is the elder brother. Brother 
 Hyrum has never deceived his people. Brother Hyrum loves this peo- 
 ple. When the Lord commands, the people must obey, etc/ The 
 next day Joe did vote for Walker, and the balance of the Mormons 
 voted for Hcge and elected him as the Lord had commanded. 
 
 •'''Joe's whole object from the commencement, was to force Gov- 
 ernor Ford to give an unconditional pledge that no more writs should 
 be issued against him and other Mormons on requisition from the 
 Governor of Missouri on the old Missouri indictments, and he suc- 
 ceeded. At least, such a paper was brought to him Saturday night 
 about one in the morning. Ford, I believe, denied that he signed 
 such a paper. The parties engaged in securing the pledge were not 
 particular how they got it, and may have forged it, or Ford may have 
 been in a muddled condition when he signed the paper. The elec- 
 tion of Hoge and Douglas depended on getting the pledge. They 
 made three trips to Springfield before they got the pledge that satis- 
 fied Joe, and as soon as he was satisfied he at once sent messages to 
 them commanding the faithful to support Douglas. They did sup- 
 port and elect him. 
 
 "This is the real history of that campaign, so far as Mr. Walker 
 was concerned. It was to him a campaign of mortification from the 
 start. He was forced into it contrary to his wishes, and forced into 
 it largely to get the Mormon votes, but after entering the contest he- 
 was denounced by Whigs all over the district for trying to get the 
 Mormon, and really lost more Whig votes in the district than would 
 have elected him, simply because it was supposed that he could get the 
 Mormon vote. 
 
 "Cyrus was the oldest of a large family, and contributed largely to 
 the education of his brothers and sisters and to starting them in busi- 
 ness. Probably no man ever gave a larger share of his earnings than 
 did Cyrus Walker to the education of his brothers, sisters and rela- 
 tions, to the church to which he belonged, and to benevolent purposes, 
 besides freeing his slaves, which were twice as much in value at the 
 time as all his other property amounted to."

 Cyrus Walker Kice, of Chicago, sends the following interesting 
 sketch relating to the life of his grandfather, Judge Cyrus Walker : 
 
 "I studied law for some time in the office of Judge T. Kyle Dickey, 
 at that time one of the judges of the Illinois Supreme Court, and 
 have often heard him relate the following story concerning himself 
 and Cyrus Walker. J udge Dickey said : 'When I first came to Illi- 
 nois, a very young man, I engaged in newspaper work. I made a 
 trip on horseback into the 'military tract/ in search of subscribers 
 to my paper, reaching the farm home of Cyrus Walker, which was 
 near Macomb, where he had his law office. I was invited to remain 
 over night. After supper Mr. Walker remarked to me that he 
 thought I would make a good lawyer. I replied that I was married 
 and could not afford to take the necessary time to study and acquire 
 a practice. Mr. Walker said, 'I have a large farm house here and 
 enough to eat, and if you wish to try the study of the law, you may 
 make your home here and pursue your studies/ Of course I was a 
 good deal surprised at this offer, coming as it did from a complete 
 stranger, but after a little consideration the offer was accepted in the 
 spirit in which it was given, and we took up our residence soon after 
 at the home of Mr. Walker, and I gave up the newspaper work for 
 the study of the law. Through the advice of Mr. Walker I eventually 
 hung out my shingle in Macomb, and thanks to the same kind friend 
 who had thus far directed my course, I was soon launched into the 
 profession of the law, where his advice was still given and acted upon 
 until I was fairly upon my feet, and I feel that much of my after- 
 success should be attributed to the wise counsel of Mr. Walker, who 
 was not surpassed in ability by any lawyer of Illinois. I have always 
 regretted that he did not live until I was elected a member of the 
 Supreme Court, for that would have been a great gratification to him ' 
 "Cyrus Walker always thought that Judge Stephen A. Douglas, 
 then Circuit Judge and afterwards Senator, had an abiding preju- 
 dice against him, probably on political grounds. Judge Douglas had 
 a habit when attorneys were addressing him of leaning back in his 
 chair with his feet elevated upon the bench in front of him. Once 
 when Mr. Walker rose to argue a case before J udge Douglas when he 
 assumed his favorite position, and Mr. Walker remarked, 'Your 
 Honor, I much prefer to address my argument to that end of the 
 court in which intelligence is presumed to reside/ The Judge took 
 his feet down and sat up forthwith."

 PIXKNEY HOUSTOaST Walker 5 (3004) (Joseph G. 4 , Alexan- 
 der 3 , Alexander 2 , John 1 ). The following account of him was taken 
 from the Eushville, 111., paper : 
 
 "He was born in Adair County, Ky., June 18, 1815, the day of 
 the Battle of Waterloo. His father, Joseph Gilmore Walker, was an 
 able lawyer. His youth was passed until his seventeenth year upon 
 his father's farm, working during the summer, and attending school 
 during the winter. 
 
 "In 1832 he became a clerk in a store, and so continued until he 
 
378 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 left Kentucky. In April, 1834, he came to Rushville, 111., where for 
 four years he was clerking in a store. In March, 1838, he moved to 
 McComb, 111., where he spent some time in an academy in that place. 
 In the fall of 1838 he commenced his legal studies in the office of his 
 uncle, Cyrus Walker, well known at that time as one of the ablest law- 
 yers of the state. Under the careful training of such a master mind, 
 he made rapid progress, and during the next year was admitted to 
 the bar, after an examination by Judges Brown and Lockwood of the 
 Supreme Court. 
 
 "He at once opened an office in McComb with Thomas Morrison, 
 and in 1840 formed a partnership with his uncle, his first partner 
 having removed to Carthage. This co-partnership ended in 1842 by 
 the retirement of his uncle from practice in the state. He continued 
 the practice by himself until 1848, when he returned to Rushville, 
 where he subsequently, in 1851, formed a partnership with Robert 
 S. Blackwell, whose brilliant but brief career is well known to the 
 older lawyers of the state. 
 
 "This partnership was dissolved in 1853, when the former mem- 
 ber went to Chicago, and Judge Walker was elected Judge of the then 
 Fifth Judicial District, or circuit, comprising the counties of Schuy- 
 ler, Pike, Brown, McDonough, Cass and Mason. He was first elect- 
 ed to fill a vacancy ; he was elected over his competitor against heavy 
 odds. He was re-elected in 1855 without opposition. 
 
 "He filled this position with satisfaction to the Bar and the people 
 until April, 1858, when Governor Bissell appointed him to the Su- 
 preme Bench to fill a vacancy made by the resignation of 0. C. Skin- 
 ner. He was elected in June, 1858, to the same position for nine 
 years, and in 1867 he was re-elected. 
 
 "At both elections the political party to which he belonged was in 
 a very decided minority, and the rival candidates were able men, but 
 the verdict of the people was an attestation of his tried faithfulness. 
 He was a third time elected in 1876 without opposition. He served 
 as Chief Justice from Jan., 1864, to June, 1867, and from June, 
 1874, to June, 1875; also from June, 1879, to June, 1780. During 
 the last few weeks preceding his death, many leading papers of the 
 Judicial District have signified their unshaken confidence in Judge 
 Walker by advocating his re-election for a fourth term, and had he 
 lived, he doubtless would have been his own successor. 
 
 "On June 2, 1840, he married Susan McCrosky, a daughter of 
 
JOHX WALKEK.

 James McCrosky, Esq., a well known and highly respected merchant 
 who died in Eushville in 1848. Of the nine children born to them, 
 four have gone. His widow, and two sons, and three married daugh- 
 ters survive him. 
 
 •'•'How important his public services were none can so well tell as 
 those who have been associated with him on the bench. His written 
 opinions have been quoted by Westminister Hall Judges in the high- 
 est courts of England. The testimony of his associates is earnest and 
 unanimous. His complete devotion to the duties of his office, his 
 thorough conscientiousness, his high sense of rectitude, his patient 
 investigation, his trained and accurate judgment, his perfect famili- 
 arity with legal principles, and ready application of them in the solu- 
 tion of new and difficult questions — all these qualities made him a 
 most valuable man in his high position. 
 
 "His reading was wide and varied. He studied intensely what 
 had a direct bearing on his professional duties. The figures of rhet- 
 oric and poetry were lightly esteemed by him, but the domain of 
 reason and sound logic were carefully and patiently explored. His 
 early education was limited, but he was a lover of books, and a dili- 
 gent student through life. 
 
 "It may justly be said of him in the language of sacred writ, 'The 
 cause he knew not, he searched out." He was generous and unselfish; 
 his sympathies were with the poor and unfortunate. Xo one ever 
 heard from him a word of unkindness. He was free from all desire 
 of pretense or ostentation. He was always thoroughly modest and 
 prone to underrate himself. His career presents him as a model and 
 bright example for the imitation of the young. It has fallen to the 
 lot of few, to hold for a continuous period of over thirty years, such 
 a dignified office of honor and trust. 
 
 "His funeral was held from his late residence in Eushville. Ar- 
 rangements were made for a special train to run from Springfield 
 to convey the Governor, members of the Supreme Court and other

 Conclusion of eulogistic speeches to the memory of Judge P. H. 
 Walker, in the Memorial prepared by the state bar and courts : 
 
 "Judge Walker now rests from his labors, and his works remain 
 to us who survive him. His greatness consists, not altogether nor

 perhaps so much, in what he wrote and said, as in what he did. It is 
 not all of the duty of a Judge to write opinions. A higher and no- 
 bler work is to do justice. 
 
 "Upon the laws and jurisprudence of the state, Judge Walker has 
 left the impress of his character for truth and justice, where it will 
 remain through the coming years to secure all that is good and true 
 in life. 
 
 "Whatever had the sanction of his judgment and conscience will be 
 recognized as law as long as the state itself shall exist. A rich legacy 
 it is that he has left to the people of the state — its value no one can 
 estimate. As I said of his official co-laborer on the bench, his fame 
 as a judicial writer will endure as long as the common law is ad- 
 ministered anywhere among the nations of the earth, and the benefe- 
 cent principles his learning and ability assisted to maintain, will 
 aid in establishing right and justice in behalf of the humblest, as 
 well as the most exalted of our race, so long as our civilization shall 
 stand. 
 
 "Nearly one hundred volumes, from the 19th to the 112th, of the 
 legislative reports contain opinions written by him. His earthly ca- 
 reer embraced nearly thirty-two years of judicial labor; twenty-seven 
 of them he was a member or at the head of the tribunal of last resort ; 
 a self-made man of strong common sense, of untiring industry, and 
 of much natural ability. To use a portion of his own language in 
 relation to his associate, Judge Breese, he has unconsciously more ac- 
 curately described himself than I could have done it, as follows: 
 'Such an intellect did not need the education of the schools to enable 
 him to take high rank among his fellow men. He cared little for 
 forms where rights and principles were involved, looking almost en- 
 tirely to principles that should govern. His intellect was massive and 
 vigorous, rather than quick and acute, never regarding or being at- 
 tracted by nice or impalpable distinctions. His convictions were 
 deep and permanent and never wavered or halted when an opinion 
 was once formed ; and yet he was not always self-reliant in the appli- 
 cation of legal principles. His investigations were direct and his 
 mode of reasoning strictly logical. He was laborious and untiring, 
 whether on the bench, in conference, or in the preparation of 
 opinions. 
 
 ir With our profession, his name will be familiar and revered by all 
 of its members as long as the first ninety volumes of our reports shall 
 be read and its opinions studied.

 "Having discharged all of his public duties with marked ability, 
 and having conferred honor on the state, he has died, honored and 
 sincerely regretted by all. He needs not a statue of brass or marble 
 to perpetuate his name. It will live in the history of the times in 
 which he lived and took such an active part.' With the substitution 
 of the words, last ninety-one' for the words 'first ninety/ the above 
 language of the deceased, though intended for another, has, as has 
 been the case with many of our writers become peculiarly applicable 
 to himself. 
 
 "In these ninety-one volumes, we have a more imperishable monu- 
 ment to his fame than a statue of bronze or marble. 
 
 "Though he was born in a slave state, yet when the conflict of arms 
 came between those who loved the institution of slavery more and the 
 Union less, he was for the Union." 
 
 Several members of his family have risen to distinction in the pro- 
 fession of the law. Besides his uncle, Cyrus Walker, and father, he 
 had a cousin, John T. Scott, who was a member of the Supreme 
 Court of Indiana; and a relative, David Walker of Arkansas, who 
 was a member of the Supreme Court of that state. He died Feb. 9, 
 1885. The children of Judge Pinkney H. and his wife, Susan 
 Walker, were 9 as follows :

 Eice/" who was one of the early Presbyterians of Kentucky. She d. 
 Feb. 7, 1866, at Camp Creek. He d. at the same place Aug. 30, 
 1858. They began housekeeping in a small log house, but after a few 
 years built a comfortable home near that of his father's. Xear the 
 old log house where the oldest two children were born was a beautiful 
 spring, nestling among the grove of sugar trees, and near by was one 
 of those singular blowing caves, the opening of which was in the side 
 of a steep cliff: the current of air was very strong, and so cool that 
 milk set upon the shelving rock kept cool for hours in the heat of 
 summer. Allen's father moved to Illinois, and bought the old farm 
 and moved his family there. The house was of brick, built in the 
 old English style, with basement and back cellars in abundance. The 
 family attended the Shiloh Church, which was about a mile distant 
 from their home. About 1835 he gave his two slaves their liberty, 
 settled up his affairs in Kentucky and removed to Illinois. His cou- 
 sin, Joseph Walker, and family accompanying them ; the journey was 
 made in covered wagons. Allen Walker purchased 320 acres of land 
 and built a house on the X. W. quarter of section 35. An incident 
 which happened prior to his leaving Kentucky deserves mention here. 
 Allen Walker was sheriff and it was his duty to go after and, if cap- 
 tured, return to their owners runaway slaves. On one occasion the 
 fugitive was a bright little boy, who had been mysteriously carried 
 away by his mother. The boy was found and returned to the slave 
 buyer, but at the same time Allen Walker as sheriff delivered the 
 boy, he handed over his commission as sheriff, saying he never would 
 hold an office that made it a man's duty to rob mothers of their chil- 
 dren. The first Presbyterian Church on Camp Creek was organized 
 in 1839 at Joseph ALcCrosky's barn, most of its members having 
 come from the church at Shiloh, Ky. The building was not erected 
 until 1843. the Schuvler Presbvterv meeting there the same vear.

 until he was 23 years old. At the breaking out of the Civil War he 
 enlisted on the Union side, in Company B, of the 13th Kentucky 
 Volunteer Infantry, Colonel Hobson's Kegiment. This was Oct. 
 2, 1861, at Greensburg, Ky. ; was mustered into regular U. S. service 
 Dec. 31, 1861, at Camp Hobson, Taylor County, Ky. With the ex- 
 ception of a few weeks spent in the hospital while in the South, he 
 was with the army until Jan., 1865, having spent over three years in 
 the service of his country. He was at Shiloh on April 7, and was on 
 skirmish duty; also at the siege of Corinth; did much hard march- 
 ing through Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee; spent six weeks 
 at Battle Creek, Tenn. ; returned to Kentucky by way of Nashville

 Mrs. Emma White: 
 
 Dear Cousin : — Your letter to hand some time ago. I have often 
 heard my mother speak of your grandfather, Samuel Scott Walker, 
 and I knew all of the Walkers of Adair County, Ky. Yes, I know 
 James Hindman — he is my first cousin ; we were raised within one 
 mile of each other, and the two families of children were like broth- 
 ers and sisters. Alexander Hindman was my mother's brother, their 
 mother was a McEvain, and grandmother Hindman was a Miss 
 White of Pennsylvania. My mother, Polly Hindman Dohoney, died 
 one year ago last February (26). She was buried on her 86th birth- 
 day. She was the last of her family, and Aunt Peggy Hindman has 
 since died — the old landmarks are falling out by the way, and the 
 younger generation are the old people now. We do not know a great 
 deal about the Dohoney family. My mother's grandfather came 
 originally from Virginia to Kentucky in the early settlement of the 
 state. One son, Ehodes Dohoney, my father's brother, settled at 
 Milltown in Adair County, on Eussell's Creek. My father, Peyton 
 Dohoney, the youngest child but one, is the last of the family left.

 He is 93 years old and well preserved for a man of his age. After 
 marriage he settled and lived until 25 years ago within one mile of 
 his old home. A farmer, quiet and unassuming, he raised a large 
 family of children. There were three sons, all of whom chose law 
 as a profession. The eldest, E. L. Dohoney, resides at Paris, Texas ; 
 was for many } r ears a lawyer. He served his Senatorial District for 
 two terms in the State Senate; has been aggressive and progressive 
 in political and reform works all his life. Judge E. B. Dohoney is 
 a practicing lawyer at Glasgow, Ky. ; and the youngest, Henry H. 
 Dohoney, a bright promising young lawyer, died early in life. I am 
 the oldest daughter living; was born Feb. 26, 1841; married Henry 
 Clay Walker, whom I had known from childhood, Oct. 5, 1865; 
 came immediately to Illinois, where I have resided ever since. 
 
 With many wishes for the success of the work you have under- 
 taken, I am, your cousin,

 from Rockbridge County, Va., to Kentucky in 1804. He was a 
 practicing physician for more than forty years, from about 1831 to 
 the close of his life. About 1838 we find he was practicing medicine 
 in Burksville, but after a year or two he removed to Green County. 
 From 1857-59 he lived in McComb, 111., after which he returned to 
 Columbia, Ky., where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a 
 soldier in the Union Army; was in the 5th Kentucky Cavalry, but 
 resigned shortly after the death of his first wife. While residing in 
 Green County he was made a ruling elder in the Ebenezer Presbyter- 
 ian Church. He married Elizabeth Pendleton Lisle of Green Coun- 
 ty April 16, 1836. She was a daughter of Daniel and Dorothy (Mil- 
 ler) Lisle. This estimable lady died Dec. 4, 1862, leaving nine chil- 
 dren. He then married Oct. 31, 1867, Louisa Peebles. She died 
 May, 1898. Dr. Walker was devoted to his profession, won a high 
 reputation as a physician, and through most of his public life had 
 an extensive practice. During three epidemics, that of cholera in 
 1835, and again a few months ago, he served the people with untiring 
 devotion. Being somewhat advanced in years and with a constitu- 
 tion naturally feeble, himself having just recovered from an illness 
 which prostrated him for months, he passed, calm and serene at all 
 hours of the night and day, from one scene of suffering and death to 
 another, until the pestilence had subsided — a noble, grand old hero, 
 who deserves more than a monument of marble. Eeligion held the 
 highest place in his esteem, and was the controlling principle of his 
 life. The death of his sister, Analisa, occurred about three hours 
 before he passed away. The ten children of Tunstal Q. and Eliza- 
 beth Walker were as follows : 
 
 3497. Dorothy Catherine Walker +. 
 
 3498. Mary Louisa Walker; b. Feb. 16, 1841; d. June, 1866.

 him so badly that he is unable to walk. He is a cultured, 
 refined, Christian gentleman ; is never heard to complain, 
 but is always cheerful and entertaining. Being well 
 versed in the family history, he is always willing to give 
 information. He personally knew Samuel Scott Walker 
 and his brothers and sisters in Kentucky. He lives with

 EARLY EEMINISCENCES. 
 
 BY HON". HAWKINS TAYLOR. 
 
 By permission of The Peoria, III., Weekly Journal, in which these 
 letters appeared in 1895. 
 
 I propose to tell what I have seen and done, and what I have 
 known of what others have done, so far as it would be interesting to 
 the reader. 
 
 I am as fully an Irishman as a man can be that was not born in 
 Ireland. My father came to this country in the first vessel that 
 brought immigrants after the Revolution. He was born and reared 
 in the County of Antrim and came to this country when seventeen 
 years of age, expecting to live with and get the estate of a rich bache- 
 lor uncle in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He landed in New York 
 City and walked from that city to his uncle's. He was a raw, broth

 of an Irish boy ; he had received ranch good instruction from his 
 pious Scotch-Irish father and mother before leaving home to go into 
 the ontside world, as America was then supposed to be. all of which 
 my father treasured up and followed through his long life. 
 
 My father had, before leaving Ireland, heard extravagant stories 
 about the savage character of the American Indian and the ferocity 
 of the wild beasts of the great winderness, but fortunately he neither 
 met Indians nor savage wild beasts on his trip from Xew York to 
 his uncle's home in Pennsylvania. Amongst other damaging stories 
 against the American character of the wild animals the skunk had 
 been unfavorably spoken of, and my father was fully resolved to give 
 the skunk wide berth and not allow himself to be deceived by the re- 
 ported beauty of the animal. The first squirrel that he saw on the 
 trip ran up a tree ahead of him on the road side. This must be a 
 skunk preparing for battle, and my father made a wide circle around 
 that tree, and was happy when he got safely in the road again un- 
 harmed. 
 
 My father remained one year with his uncle working hard on the 
 farm and all that he got for the year's work was a wool hat. He made 
 no complaint to the uncle, but did as millions of others have done, 
 followed his "spunk" and did what he ought not to have done, left in 
 the night without a word of complaint or thanks, and never inquired 
 after or heard from or what became of the estate of his uncle after 
 he left. After leaving his uncle he went to Rockbridge County, Vir- 
 ginia, where there was a large settlement of people from the same 
 section of Ireland that my father came from. x^.nd there he served 
 an apprenticeship to the wagon-making trade, and there he married 
 my mother, Catharine Walker, whose father and mother came from 
 Ireland. My mother was the youngest of seven children ; her father 
 was a gunsmith, and he and two of his sons made guns for the army 
 during the entire war of the Revolution, while the other four sons 
 worked on the farm and served in the army by turns during the nine 
 3'ears' war. In 1792 my father and mother moved to Kentucky, then 
 the "bloody ground" wilderness, settling in the Green River country, 
 where neighbors had to go ten and fifteen miles to help each other to 
 roll logs and build houses. I was the youngest of three children, all 
 boys, and was born November 15, 1811. 
 
 There were no newspapers, books or schools in that section, except 
 the Bible and two or three religious books of the different religious 
 denominations. My mother had by heart the Bible, "Baxter's Saints 
 Rest/' and the few other religious books. She was then a saint on 
 earth, and is now a saint in Heaven. She was intensely anti-slavery, 
 holding the selling of human beings with a soul the greatest of all 
 crimes. 
 
 Three of my mother's brothers followed my father and settled in 
 Adair County. The Walker relations were numerous and a good 
 many of them were lawyers and preachers and all opposed to slavery,

 at that day. My father was a stern man of few words ; he never had 
 a law-suit in his life, and he never had trouble with any person, and 
 never wanted, or held office. His home was always open to the way- 
 farer, and he never took a cent from any person that ate at the fam- 
 ily table or tarried over night. 
 
 My name, like my life, seems a sort of accidental mystery, no 
 other man in the United States having the same name — Hawkins 
 Taylor. A man by the name of Hawkins, on his way home from 
 Lexington, Ky., to his home in Tennessee, was taken sick on the road 
 and was taken to onr home, where he had a long spell of fever, and 
 my father, becoming greatly attached to him, gave me his name. 
 Father and mother would not take a cent of pay for the trouble. 
 The son of this man, for whom I was named, has since been Governor 
 of Tennessee. 
 
 My father was always kind to the needy, and caught a cold that 
 terminated his life by going a mile, when 85 years old, to see a poor, 
 sick boy that he felt an interest in. My mother was always kind and 
 gentle to all, especially to, and with, her children. All that has been 
 good in me I owe to her love and goodness, and nothing has ever 
 given me so much happiness as the consciousness that in her ten 
 years of life after my birth, I never gave her cause of grief so far as 
 I know. I was the youngest and from my birth my mother was an 
 invalid and my associate, my greatest desire was to save her trouble. 
 
 There was a settlement of about twenty families, all from the 
 north of Ireland, and nearly all but my father's family related by 
 blood or marriage to each other. This Irish settlement constituted 
 a sort of society of its own. Nearby there was a large settlement of 
 out-at-the-elbow Virginians, all claiming to be related to King 
 George, and of the "first families of Virginia." They followed the 
 English rule of educating the oldest son, and would send off their 
 oldest sons to be educated in Virginia, and the other sons went with- 
 out education. These Virginia "Tuckahoes" looked upon their Irish 
 neighbors as "poor whites," while the Irish community held in the 
 greatest disgust these "Tuckahoes." 
 
 From my earliest recollections I was intended for a lawyer. I was 
 a great pet of my uncle Alexander Walker, who came to Kentucky 
 from Virginia with Green Clay, and he always insisted that Green 
 Clay was an abler man than his cousin, Henry Clay. I was to study 
 law with my cousin, Cyrus Walker, one of the ablest lawyers this 
 country has produced. 
 
 George H. Williams, who was several years Judge of the Burling- 
 ton District, and afterwards Judge in Oregon, then in the United 
 States Senate, and then Attorney General of the United States, has 
 frequently, in talking of Walker, said that he was the ablest lawyer, 
 especially as a criminal lawyer, that he had ever met. Unfortunate- 
 ly at the time that I was a boy the loud declaimer was held to be the 
 best lawyer. I did not believe that I could ever be a good public

 speaker and I learned to be a tanner in place of being a lawyer. I 
 made a mistake as I now think. I am snre I would have made a good 
 lawyer, and there is no calling more honorable than that of the law, 
 if the man is honest and honorable. The honest lawyer and honest 
 doctor do more for humanity than almost any other class of men. I 
 regret that I did not study law, and yet my long life of observation 
 satisfies me that more than four-fifths of the young men now study- 
 ing law had far better learn some trade. 
 
 When 19 years of age I had only seen three newspapers. One was 
 Pat Darby's Spirit of 1776, the "Old Court" organ; another was the 
 Argus, edited by Francis P. Blair, Sr., and Amos Kendall, as the 
 organ of the "Xew Court" party, in the great contest between the old 
 and new court parties in Kentucky, lasting some six or eight years, 
 and during several years of which time there were two Courts of Ap- 
 peals in the state deciding cases : the Circuit Judges of the Districts 
 sending cases to the old or new Court of Appeals, as the Judge that 
 tried the case chose to send them. The other paper that I had seen 
 was a stray copy of a paper started in Louisville by George D. Pren- 
 tice, before he was connected with the Louisville Journal. That pa- 
 per had a part or all of "Japhet in search of a father."' The paper 
 was well worn before I saw it. The story created great excitement in 
 the neighborhood, and the loan of it was highly prized. I have never 
 heard of Japhet since, and have no authority to state that he ever 
 found his father. I hope that he did. The old and new court contest 
 in Kentucky was the most remarkable financial contest, on account 
 of the length and bitterness of it, that has ever taken place in any of 
 the states. 
 
 During the last years of the war of 1812, and up to about 1820 
 money was plenty, and there was a boom in the value of real estate in 
 Kentucky, and a great many farmers sold their farms and moved to 
 Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. They sold largely on credit, 
 and made their payments in the purchase of lands in their new 
 homes to meet their payments due them for their old Kentucky 
 homes. There was a money panic in Kentucky 7 , and lands and other 
 property fell greatly in value, and went without purchasers at any 
 price. The Legislature, when it met in the winter of 1823-4, char- 
 tered a state bank with branches founded alone on the credit of the 
 state. All salaries and indebtedness of the state were made payable 
 in the bills of this commonwealth's bank, and all taxes and indebted- 
 ness due the state was made receivable in this paper, and a law was 
 passed providing that the refusal of creditors to accept this paper in 
 payment of debts gave the debtors a stay of two years. This law was 
 ruin to the men who had sold their farms in Kentucky and bought 
 others in new homes. The commonwealth's paper soon dropped down 
 in value to half its face, and the creditors had to lose one-half of their 
 debt, or wait two years for their money. Commissioners were ap- 
 pointed in each county in the state, whose business it was to value the 
 
426 
 
 DESCENDANTS OP 
 
 land of anyone who wanted to borrow money of the bank, and the 
 owner of the land could get from the bank two-thirds of the com- 
 missioners' valuation of his land. 
 
 The Supreme Court, or Court of Appeals, decided that this law 
 was unconstitutional, and the next Legislature legislated the Court 
 of Appeals out of office, and created a new Court of Appeals. The 
 old court decided the law repealing them out of office unconstitutional, 
 and the issue in the election of the Legislature of 1826 was "The old 
 and the new Court." National politics was not in the contest, and 
 there never has been such a contest in the state since. 
 
 There was then three days of voting and no ballots. Each voter 
 named the man he voted for, and the name and vote was recorded in 
 the poll-book. The state of the polls was known at all hours of the 
 day. John Stotts was for many years the first voter in the district 
 in which I was raised. He was the leader of the hill voters, and a 
 great many voters who could not read or write or recollect names 
 would vote as J ohn Stotts voted, and the judge would so record their 
 votes. 
 
 There was no telegraph and but a tri-weekly mail to the county 
 seat, but each party had runners at each polling place, well mounted, 
 who took to the county seat the result of the day's voting, with a list 
 of the absent voters in each district. The result was there was scarce- 
 ly a voter in the state able to be hauled to the polls who did not vote. 
 
 On the 11th day of April, 1831, when a little over nineteen years 
 of age, I left my father's home for Missouri. I knew nothing of the 
 ways of the world. I had scarcely any education. I had seen but 
 three newspapers in my life and but a few irregular copies of those. 
 I had never been the owner of half a dozen dollars' worth of store 
 clothes in my life, and I went forty miles before I ever saw a stage 
 coach. But I had at that time a large capital that has never been ex- 
 hausted, and it has been worth far more than any money capital is of 
 itself. I felt that I was in manhood the equal of any man, and no 
 better than the poorest in birth, education or in the world's goods, 
 provided they were honest, industrious and faithful to what was 
 right. I believed then, and have believed ever since, that it was hon- 
 est principles and manhood, and not dress or wealth, that made the 
 true and worthy man. I then and at all times since have had opin- 
 ions of my own on all subjects that presented themselves, and I never 
 waited to have the opinion of some one else before expressing my own. 
 I think that most politicians will say that I deserved failure. 
 
 To me it has been a life's enjoyment to have my say as I thought. 
 It is the independent man who makes public sentiment and the Ma- 
 cawbers who generally reap the honors. I have always thought the 
 independent man who created public sentiment the most useful and 
 best. 
 
 Why I left a comfortable home to go five or six hundred miles into 
 what was then a very new county I never knew. I had no relatives

 to go to. When I started my father gave me a fine horse and twenty- 
 nine dollars in money. All the clothes I had were home-made and 
 I carried them in a pair of saddle bags. I crossed the Ohio Elver at 
 Ford's ferry, below Shawneetown. The river was very high. I stay- 
 ed over night at Ford's. I found a good many men about the house 
 who were not travelers, and there were twenty or thirty guns in the 
 hall and sitting room. My father had never been without a rifle, and 
 few men where I was raised were without a gun, but I had never seen 
 such an arsenal as at Ford's, and I inquired about it but got no infor- 
 mation on the subject, but I afterwards learned the cause. 
 
 On the opposite Illinois side of the river a cave, known by the 
 steamboat men as the "Cave in the Eock," for years was the head- 
 quarters of counterfeiters, burglars and horsethieves. The Fords 
 were of the part} 7 , and a vigilance committee was organized to extir- 
 minate the depredators in the counties of Pope and Saline, in Illinois. 
 The attack was made the night after I crossed the river and one or 
 two of the Ford gang were killed and the counterfeiting crowd par- 
 tially broken up. I narrowly escaped being in the fight. 
 
 I reached St. Louis about 2 o'clock p. m. I had a cousin there 
 whom I had never seen, and who had never seen or heard of me. 
 (This was John Kelso Walker, jSTo. 1957.) He went to St. Louis 
 from Rockbridge County, Virginia, and was sheriff of St. Louis 
 County for sixteen ye&Ts, and county treasurer eight years. By the 
 law of the state the sheriff was not eligible for more than four years 
 at a time. Mr. Walker would serve four years as sheriff, and then a 
 term of two years as county treasurer, and in this way putting in 
 twenty-four years, and was then elected county judge, and held that 
 office until his death. 
 
 The sheriff, by law, lived in the jail. I rode up to the gate and my 
 cousin came out, and I told him who I was. I probably presented 
 about as discouraging an appearance as could be presented. My cou- 
 sin inquired about the Kentucky relatives, and satisfied himself that I 
 was not an imposter, and then ordered my horse put up. By that time 
 I was pretty mad all over, and he had hard work to have me stop. I 
 had not been received as my relatives back at home received me, when 
 I went to their houses. I remained with him for three or four days, 
 and he wanted me to remain with him. and his wife, a lovely woman, 
 then in bad health, tried to have me stay. She understood the ways 
 of the world, and doubtless felt that I needed a home. St. Louis had 
 then less than six thousand people, but I thought that it was too large 
 a city for me to stop in. 
 
 It was Sunday when I reached St. Louis, and the day before I got 
 there the square where the Planters' House now stands, with a little 
 two-roomed house with clapboard weatherboarding, had been sold for 
 one thousand dollars, and Thomas McKnight, who died in Dubuque 
 some years since, and was at one time a candidate for Congress in 
 Iowa, on the same day sold a square or block from Main Street to the 
 
428

 river, opposite to where the old Missouri Hotel was forty years ago, 
 for one thousand dollars. The city was then a rock bluff above Mar- 
 ket Street, with one or two solitary whisky shops on the river under 
 the cliffs. One of these shops stood there for many years after the 
 levee was a solid block of stone groceries and commission houses, 
 standing solitary and alone between two such commission houses. 
 John Eice, the proprietor, at his death left half a million of dollars 
 to his heirs, that he made in this little house selling whisky and pies. 
 It took Eice about thirty years to make the fortune, but his heirs 
 spent it in less than a sixth of that time. Whisky money belongs to 
 the Black One, and he always gets it in the third generation, gener- 
 ally in the second. To fit a man to make or sell whisky, he has to blot 
 out his conscience, if he has one, give up all love for mankind, curse 
 God and take the Devil as his guide and counselor, and make up his 
 mind to associate in the other world with his victims of this, without 
 a good deal of repentance before he leaves this world — that seldom 
 happens. 
 
 When I left St. Louis I went up the river one hundred and fifty 
 miles to Hannibal, on the Mississippi, then a little place of about one 
 hundred and fifty people. I divided my time that fall between hav- 
 ing the ague and working in a brick yard, and spent that winter at 
 the house of Colonel William Patterson, then living in Marion Coun- 
 ty, Missouri, and now in the city of Keokuk, and at all times a useful 
 and good citizen. 
 
 Galena was running over with miners of the rougher order, and as 
 I could do nothing, I returned down the river to Hannibal, and from 
 there I went to Sangamon County, Illinois, with Colonel William 
 Patterson and John E. Johnson, where I had a great many relatives, 
 intending to return to the lead mines in the spring and look after- my 
 claims there, supposed to be valuable, and which proved to be to 
 others, who got them by my failure to return and work them. 
 
 During the winter of 1832-3 I determined to make a farm and 
 settle near Irish Grove, then in Sangamon County, and now in Logan 
 County. None of the farmers in that part of the country had entered 
 their farms and no one was then expecting to ever see a railroad in 
 that section. The use of coal for household purposes was not thought 
 of. The timber was entered, and there was very little of it, and it 
 was not thought that the prairie would ever have to be entered. The 
 only pine lumber used in that section, in any of the towns, was 
 brought from Pittsburg by water, down the Ohio to Cairo, and then 
 up the Mississippi to St. Louis, up the Illinois to some point on that 
 river, and then hauled to where it was used. I had no money, but I 
 wanted to enter forty acres of timber, and I went to Springfield to 
 Dr. Jayne, who was afterwards the father-in-law of Lyman Trum- 
 bull, and told him that I wanted to borrow $50. I had never seen the 
 Doctor before, and he had never seen or heard of me. I went to town 
 on horseback and rode up to the Doctor's house in the town and call- 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 429 
 
 ed him out. I did not go into the house except to give my note and 
 get the money. The Doctor charged me thirty-seven and a half per 
 cent, interest, but asked no security of me, and since I have known 
 more of the world I have always felt proud that my face was so good 
 security, for the Doctor was a careful business man. 
 
 The interest was enormous, but there was very little money in cir- 
 culation in that section of the country. I paid the interest in drib- 
 blets as I had it, and three years later the principal. I made rails 
 that winter and fenced forty acres of prairie land in the spring, and 
 had thirty acres of the prairie broken and partly planted in sod corn. 
 In 1833 I made a kiln of brick in Irish Grove to some profit. My 
 brother from Kentucky visited me during the summer, and in the 
 early fall, with my brother, I went to Kentucky to visit my father. 
 
 It was a long hard journey of five hundred miles, over bad roads, 
 taking six weeks of time, four weeks on the road and two weeks with 
 my father. I made half a dozen of these visits from 1831 to my 
 father's and brother's death in February, 1849. I sometimes went 
 on horseback, and sometimes by water, going down the Mississippi 
 River to Cairo, and then up the Ohio River to Louisville, and then 
 by land one hundred miles to my old home. Sometimes I hired a 
 horse in Louisville, and rode home and sometimes I walked the one 
 hundred miles. During this whole time the money that it cost to 
 make these visits was earned by hard work at low wages, and at all 
 times a scarce article with me, but these visits to my father have been 
 the green spots of my life, that have added greatly to my own self- 
 respect — my life companion and the friend, of all others, that one 
 should always be on good terms with. 
 
 On the return trip, in the fall of 1833, a young friend joined me, 
 and we had some forty head of cattle that we drove back. We had a 
 horse and wagon and an ox team on the trip, occupying just one 
 month on the road, and it was the month of my life that I enjoyed 
 above all others. It was the month of October. We slept at night in 
 the wagon, and before we left home my step-mother baked a large 
 supply of bread — baked in large ovens, with a lid and fire above and 
 below — and my father gave me a full supply of well-cured and smok- 
 ed sides of bacon, and we had a cow that we milked, and my mother 
 put in a large jar of butter. Our meals in the morning before start- 
 ing, and at night, after camping, were coffee and milk, light bread 
 and butter and bacon broiled on the coals, and nothing could have 
 been more delicious; we fattened on the diet all the time and had 
 much jolly fun. 
 
 My partner on this trip was James Stotts, one of the noblest men 
 that I ever met, and is now where all good people go when they leave 
 this world. 
 
 I married in the spring of 1834, built me a log home, and com- 
 menced housekeeping. I had a prairie team and broke prairie and 
 farmed my land by turns. The election of Illinois at that time was

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 on the first Monday in August. I lived near Salem where Mr. Lin- 
 coln lived and was greatly attached to him, and on the morning of 
 the election I started at sunrise for the election precinct on Lake 
 Fork; eighteen miles distant. The road was a mere bridle path most 
 of the way, up the bottom of Salt Creek. The prairie grass was 
 higher than I was on my pony, and the result was that I was wet to 
 the skin most of the way. The whole people in that part of Illinois 
 were for Jackson. It was before Canada Peck and Stephen A. Doug- 
 las had inaugurated the caucus system in the state. Candidates ran 
 on their own personal popularity. Sangamon County embraced the 
 present counties of Logan, Menard, Christian and a large part of 
 Dewitt and Cass. The county was entitled to four members in the 
 Legislature, and there were over twenty candidates in the field want- 
 ing the office, all running independent of party. There was a little 
 junta in Springfield that assumed to run the Jackson party in the 
 county. 
 
 The junta had sent out, to every precinct in the county, tickets 
 having four names on them as the true representatives of Jacksonism. 
 These tickets were sent to Lake Fork precinct, but they disappeared 
 before the polls were opened, and, while all the voters were strangers 
 to me, I soon made myself known and useful. There was a supply of 
 blank tickets, and I filled up one hundred and eight of the one hun- 
 dred and eleven votes polled, and I got Mr. Lincoln's name on each 
 ticket that I filled up. Not one of the voters had ever seen Mr. Lin- 
 coln, and few of them had ever heard of him. I let each man name 
 whom he pleased for Governor and the other state officers, but not one 
 of them could name four members for the Legislature, and then I 
 would get in Mr. Lincoln's name. Mr. Lincoln had made no canvass 
 of the county, as he had no horse to ride and no money, but he had 
 in almost all the precincts of the county, friends that he had made 
 as a soldier in the Black Hawk war of 1832, who took an interest in 
 him at the polls, and the result was that he led the ticket in the coun- 
 ty by several hundred votes. This was his first election to office. 
 
 * Messrs. Walker and Casey, on Monday morning, located a claim 
 each of one hundred and sixty acres on Lee County Eoad, and had 
 ten acres of ground broken to hold their claims ; but they were con- 
 sidered so far out on the prairie and from any settlements, that they 
 virtually abandoned them, and they were afterward taken up by 
 J. L. and Elijah T. Estes, who sowed locust seed on the broken ground 
 and since that time the place has been known as the "Locust Grove." 
 
 Colonel Patterson and myself went on to West Point, stopping for 
 dinner with Louis Pittman, who was the first settler in all that sec- 
 tion. He was a Kentuckian, a most worthy citizen, and a good Meth- 
 odist. His wife was everything a wife and mother should be, and 
 that included being a first rate cook. I am sure it is safe to say she 
 has had more chickens cooked for Methodist preachers in her house

 than any other person in the state ever had or ever will have. They 
 lived on the great thoronghfare from either Port Madison or Bur- 
 lington, going west, had a fine farm, the first orchard in the county, 
 plenty of everything, and the latch string was known to be always ont 
 for all preachers, and. in fact, for everybody that wanted to come to 
 the country and settle. The old man lived to an advanced age. sur- 
 rounded with all the comforts of life, and raised a large and worthy 
 family. 
 
 That day we bought the town of West Point, Walker and Casey 
 joining us in the purchase. There were but three or four large shan- 
 ties on the plat. John Cotton had the only store. The house was 
 about 12x16. made of peeled hickory logs, split inside, rough boards 
 nailed over the cracks, no ceiling, and the roof steep enough to please 
 any Hollander. The stock in trade was one barrel red-eye, said to be 
 of approved quality, about a dozen pieces of calico and as many more 
 pieces of domestics, some fancy articles, sugar, tea, coffee and tobacco, 
 all amounting in value to a couple of hundred dollars. There were 
 not twenty acres of ground fenced in sight of West Point : a good deal 
 more was broken up and planted; but the first object of the settlers 
 was to get in their corn and then fence their ground. 
 
 Within a few days after our purchase my associates returned to 
 Illinois, leaving me to put up a frame house for each of us, 18x32 
 feet, one story high. I had not a foot of plank to use in any of them; 
 the studding was rails straightened : siding, split boards, and the 
 floors, puncheons. The front doors and window sash were brought 
 around from Pittsburg and bought at Fort Madison. At that day 
 the only lumber used on the Mississippi was brought from Pittsburg. 
 These houses are still standing, I believe, and occupied. 
 
 On the 9th of August I had an attack of bilious fever, and for days 
 my life was given up by my friends, but I finally recovered, but was 
 confined to my bed two months, and from that time up to the end of 
 the year I had chills and night sweats. I was living on Salt Creek, 
 about two miles from Irish Grove, in the open prairie, and about the 
 last of October I was awakened by the roaring of a prairie fire. It 
 was as light as day in the house, as the cracks between the logs had 
 not been pointed up. I was wet with sweat but put on my clothes to 
 make ready for defense. The fire was about twelve miles down Salt 
 Creek and seemed to be about one hundred feet high. The grass was 
 perfectly dry, and was from two to eight feet high, and the low bot- 
 tom unsettled was about six miles wide, .gradually narrowing until 
 it was about three miles wide where I lived. A strong wind was driv- 
 ing the fire at race-horse speed. 
 
 It was the most terrific and grandest sight that I ever saw. The 
 fire moved along like waves of the ocean, sometimes forty to sixty feet 
 high, and then sinking down to less than half that height. I saw at 
 once that nothing could prevent the burning of my house and other 
 buildings but to fire against the fire, and at once I commenced firing 
 
432 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 along the path leading up to Irish Grove. Two neighbors at Irish 
 Grove were awakened by the roaring of the fire, and seeing my dan- 
 ger commenced firing along the path from the Grove. They met me 
 just in time to stop the great fire. 
 
 In the spring of 1835 a man by the name of Wright came out from 
 New Jersey and bought me out, paying me four hundred dollars for 
 my forty acres of timber and my claim and farm. 
 
 I then bought land adjoining Irish Grove, but I had not recovered 
 my health. It was then as common in Illinois to prepare for the sick- 
 ly season, commencing the latter part of July and continuing through 
 August and September, as it was to prepare for winter. 
 
 In the winter of 1835-6 several friends agreed with me to gc to 
 Iowa on a prospecting tour in the coming spring, and try to find a 
 healthier country to live in. 
 
 On the fourth of July, 1836, I attended the first sale of lots, in 
 Salem, now in Henry County. There was then not a shanty on the 
 town plat. Father Aaron Street, one of the most intelligent, worthy 
 men that I ever met, the proprietor of the town, lived in the edge of 
 the timber southwest from the proposed town. 
 
 From there I went that afternoon to "Bound Prairie," now in Jef- 
 ferson County. Scott Walker and one or two other families had 
 moved there in the spring, but the trail they made had grown up. I, 
 however, found my way to Walker's. There were two or three fami- 
 lies then in Round Prairie: James Gilmer, S. C. Walker and prob- 
 ably Hardin and Butler and Tilford and their families. That was 
 the western settlement then. 
 
 On the 10th of September, 1836, the proprietors made a sale of 
 lots after pretty full advertisement. The proprietors were all tem- 
 perance men, and one or two of them eiders in the old blue stocking 
 Presbyterian church, and they had set apart a liberal plat of ground 
 to their late minister, as he was coming to settle there, and they had 
 arranged to build a meeting house and organize a church. To be a 
 "hard shell" Baptist was then respectable with the settlers ; to be a 
 Campbellite was passable, and to be a Methodist could be tolerated ; 
 but they felt that it was asking rather too much to come among them 
 and propagate temperance and blue stocking Presbyterianism. It 
 was strongly whispered that this was a bad step to settle in a new 
 country — in fact, it was whispered pretty loudly. The proprietors 
 were very anxious to have their sales a success. They were all Ken- 
 tuckians and had seen but few Yankees; still they had picked up 
 some Yankee ideas, and as nearly all the settlers were from the South, 
 they concluded to make, on the day of sale, a regular old-fashioned 
 barbecue. No sooner was this known, than the hard shells themselves 
 softened, and offers from all quarters were made to take charge of the 
 roasting department of the barbecue, and the worst of enemies became 
 the best of friends. Both the sale and the barbecue were a grand suc- 
 cess, plenty to eat for all and well cooked, no one intoxicated, and

 everything cheerful and pleasant. The sale amounted to about $2300. 
 
 Now, reader, do not say "that is no sum at all." You must recol- 
 lect that this was before most of you were born, and long before the 
 days of army sutlers, commissaries and shoddy contractors during a 
 great war. 
 
 There were about two hundred people at the sale: many brought 
 their families. Among others, there were a dozen or so candidates 
 for the Legislature. The territory of Wisconsin had just been or- 
 ganized and an election for the Legislature ordered. There were but 
 two counties in the territory, west of the Mississippi — Des Moines 
 and Dubuque — Pine Kiver, between Bloomington (now Muscatine) 
 and Davenport, being the dividing line on the river. Des Moines 
 County was entitled to three members of the Council and six mem- 
 bers in the House. The main question at that election was in regard 
 to county lines. Almost everybody had a town and they wanted new 
 counties made to suit their towns as county seats. Ail the candidates 
 at this sale were of course in favor of making a county that would 
 make "West Point the count}' seat ; but I suspect the promise was for- 
 gotten, much after the fashion of the present day. 
 
 There was great immigration to the territory in that year, and 
 scarcely any grain raised. The result was. short rations : and to add 
 to this, it was an early winter, closing the river with ice and cutting 
 off supplies from that quarter. The town of Denmark had been lo- 
 cated that season by an enterprising company of Yankees, headed by 
 Fox. Epps and Shed. Taking precautionary measures, they had gone 
 into Illinois and bought a small drove of hogs to drive on foot, ex- 
 pecting to get back before the river closed: but when they got to the 
 river it was full of floating ice, so that the ferry could not run; but 
 fortune favored them, by blocking the ice so that they drove their 
 hogs over on the ice the next day. Tins pork almost literally kept 
 the people from starving until other supplies from Illinois came in. 
 The winter was long, cold, and dreary, and almost all the supplies of 
 every kind had to come from Illinois, and be hauled more than one 
 hundred miles, and were sold at enormous prices. 
 
 But during the whole long, dreary winter, a Methodist preacher 
 named Cartwright, living a few miles west of Burlington, traveled 
 the circuit of what is now Des Moines, Lee and Tan Buren Counties, 
 never missing an appointment. Fron West Point to Keosauqua there 
 was nothing but a trail, and that covered with snow and ice. and few 
 settlers : yet, rain or snow, he was always on time. I fear that there 
 are few preachers, Methodist or otherwise, now in that circuit, who 
 would be willing to go through such trials, with the same fare and 
 same pay. If alive, I hope this noble man has an easy place now : if 
 dead, he has Ins reward.

 Colonel Patterson remained at Burlington nntil Sunday the 10th, 
 hoping that some compromise could be effected, but losing hope and 
 fearing that the Governor would order him before a court-martial for 
 disobedience of orders, he went home to West Point. Just after I 
 had gone to bed, a son of the Colonel's came to my home, saying that 
 his father wanted me to come up to his house. I at once dressed and 
 went. It was a clear, bitter cold night. I had known the Colonel 
 from my earliest recollection, but I had never seen him so excited 
 and so distressed as he was that night. He said : "The snow all over 
 the Territory is now more than two feet deep, and the weather in- 
 tensely cold. Scarcely a single settler has gathered his corn, or has 
 any shelter for his stock, or a supply of wood to keep his family warm. 
 The snow and cold came on so early they had no time to prepare for 
 the winter, and now to take those people from their homes at this 
 time, would entail so much suffering, starvation and death on their 
 families, left without help or protection, seems to me to be a great 
 crime, and one that I do not want to have a part in." In answer to a 
 question from me he said that the effort to compromise had been made 
 by the members of the Legislature, but the influence of the Governor 
 had defeated all hope of any compromise. I said it seemed impossi- 
 ble that two such Governors as Boggs, of Missouri, and Lucas, of 
 Iowa, should be allowed to precipitate a border war at such a time, 
 and that I would go with him to Burlington the next day and see 
 what could be done. The Colonel protested at first against going, 
 on account of the peremptory military orders that he had received 
 from the Governor, but he finally agreed to go. I was at his place 
 the next morning at daybreak. 
 
 After breakfast we went to Burlington, getting there a few minutes 
 after 9 o'clock a. m. — just as the House had convened. Shepherd 
 Leffler was a member of the House from Des Moines County, one of 
 the brightest young men in the Territory, and afterward a member 
 of Congress. It was at a time when Burlington and all the towns in 
 the Territory had bright and able young men, and who were the real 
 foundation of Iowa's present proud position in the sitserhood of the 
 states. The Colonel and I agreed on the cast of a resolution that we 
 wanted the Legislature to pass. We at once went to Leffler's seat and 
 told him what we wanted, and he heartily indorsed our view, and at 
 once went to his committee room and drafted the resolutions, after 
 the reading of which followed some spirited debating which resulted 
 in a cessation of hostilities. 
 
 [It is a matter of history that to Colonel William Patterson, Hon. 
 Hawkins Taylor and others of their type is given the credit of termin- 
 ating what at the start bid fair to be a serious war. — Ed.] 
 
 In 1839, on the 9th of August, I commenced making a farm on 
 320 acres of land that I owned, one mile west of West Point. I had 
 one hired man and between the 9th of August, 1839, and the 1st of 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 435 
 
 June, 1840, I built a frame house 16x32 with two shed rooms back, 
 a cellar walled up with stone, brick and chimney in the center, built 
 a log barn thirty feet square, stable on one side and corncrib on the 
 other; dug a well thirty-six feet deep, walled up with stone, built a 
 smoke house twelve feet square, with projection over the well, fenced 
 in with stake and rider fence 170 acres of land; and the only part of 
 the work I hired or bought was the brick for the chimney, the nails 
 and doors for the house (all other doors were clap-board doors), the 
 floors, plastering, a man to dig and wall up the well. I framed the 
 house and my man quarried and laid the stone for the cellar. We 
 made the shingles for the roof of the house, and shaved the boards for 
 the weather-boarding — had my neighbors help to raise the frame 
 and the barn. The hauling was all done with a two-horse team, and 
 all of the timber for the house, and all the rails were hauled two and 
 one-half miles. It was a very cold winter, and there was a deep snow 
 on the ground all the time, and I and my man, John Morrison, would 
 get up before day, and while he fed and harnessed the team, my wife, 
 with my assistance, would get breakfast, and we would drive to the 
 timber by daylight, and one would cut the logs for rails, and the other 
 would haul them to the road until sundown, when we would put on 
 enough logs to make about one hundred rails, and go home, dropping 
 the logs around where the fence was to be, getting to the house about 
 7 o'clock, when we would have a good appetite for supper or dinner, 
 as you please to call it. This work we continued day by day as long 
 as the snow lasted, and we then made the logs into rails and hauled 
 them out and built the fence. 
 
 In August of that year I was elected sheriff of Lee County, and 
 removed to Fort Madison, the county seat, in the fall. In the mean- 
 time, the Mormons had been driven from Missouri and settled at 
 Commerce, in Illinois, at the head of the rapids, opposite Montrose, 
 in Lee County, and at that time there was standing in Montrose, all 
 the soldiers' barracks that housed a regiment of dragoons, and the 
 Mormons filled these barracks. They were all log huts, and worthless 
 to the Government, but useful to the Mormons. 
 
 [Mr. Taylor was a warm friend of Abraham Lincoln. We make a 
 few extracts from the account of the part he played in getting Lin- 
 coln's name before the public in 1834. — Ed.] 
 
 In 1834, the first time that Mr. Lincoln was elected to the Legis- 
 lature, he got even- vote at the Salem precinct, where the whole 
 population were Jackson Democrats, while Lincoln was a Whig. At 
 that election the party lines were not drawn, but he always got a 
 large Democratic vote at Salem in after elections. At the first 
 election Sangamon County embraced what is now Mason, Menard, 
 Logan, DeWitt, Christian and most of Cass Counties. Mr. Lincoln 
 made no canvass, he did not own a horse and was not known as a 
 public speaker, yet he got several hundred more votes than any other

 candidate. Lincoln commanded a company in Colonel Henry's regi- 
 ment in the Black Hawk war in 1832, and in that time formed the 
 acquaintance of young men from all parts of the country, who to a 
 man, not only voted for him but worked for him at the polls. The 
 writer of this article rode eighteen miles to the Lake Fork precinct, 
 near where the town of Lincoln is now situated, and filled up blank 
 tickets and secured him 108 votes out of 111 voted, when not a voter, 
 with one exception at the precinct, except myself, had ever seen him. 
 Many incidents of his life seem to have been ordered by a higher 
 power than human. 
 
 Your late article on Mrs. Lincoln is incorrect in saying that Mrs. 
 Lincoln would not allow him to run for the Legislature in 1854. 
 Lincoln was off attending court, and his friends put him up for the 
 Legislature and elected him. Mrs. Lincoln tried to prevent it, hold- 
 ing that it disgraced him after being a member of Congress to be 
 elected to the Legislature. After the election it was found that the 
 Whigs and anti-Nebraska men had a majority in the Legislature, 
 and as no one was thought of for Senator by the Whigs but Lincoln, 
 he failed to qualify rather than vote for himself. At the special 
 election to fill this vacancy a Democrat was elected. Five anti- 
 Nebraska Democrats held the balance of power in the Legislature, 
 and they would vote for no man but Trumbull for Senator; Mr. 
 Lincoln with the utmost difficulty got his friends to vote for and 
 elect Trumbull. The vote on the last ballot being for Trumbull 51, 
 Mattison 47, blank 1. Three were absent. 
 
 At the special election above mentioned the Whigs nominated a 
 popular young man, and the Democrats made no nomination, claim- 
 ing that they could not elect, but secretly got tickets printed and on 
 Sunday night they sent messengers all over the country and brought 
 out a large Democratic vote and elected their candidate. If Mr. 
 Lincoln had been elected Senator at that time there is no probability 
 that he would ever have been President. Then again in 1858 when he 
 made the canvass for Senator against Douglas, if he had succeeded 
 he would not have been the Republican candidate in 1860 for Presi- 
 dent. These two defeats and his masterly speeches in his joint 
 debate with Douglas gave him a national reputation as one of the 
 master minds of the Nation, honest, without guile and devoted to 
 man's freedom. 
 
 Mr. Lincoln took a front place at the bar when first admitted. 
 There were no railroads then and the lawyers traveled on horseback 
 to the courts ; they were as rollicking a set as ever met. Mr. Lincoln 
 was always head and front of the party, full of humor and anece- 
 dotes, but never touched liquor nor cards, nor engaged in other vices. 
 
 In 1860 the Iowa convention for the election of delegates for the 
 Chicago convention was called to meet at Des Moines during the 
 session of the Legislature. John A. Kasson was chairman of the 
 Republican State Committee. He was a Seward man, and there

 had been worked up a sort of Seward craze in the fashion of the 
 Blaine craze in 1880. Iowa was entitled to eight delegates, and if 
 that delegation had been united for Seward, he would doubtless have 
 been nominated at Chicago. The friends of Seward had arranged 
 their delegates, and they were defeated by the friends of Lincoln 
 by organizing the outsiders in favor of a delegation of thirty-two. 
 This united the boys who were not of the selected number, and who 
 had a chance to be delegates if the larger number was adopted. The 
 result was that Seward had but two and a half votes from Iowa in 
 the convention. Alvin Saunders, an old neighbor of Lincoln's, then 
 Senator from Henry County, and later United States Senator from 
 Xebraska, and the writer, contributed largely to this result. 
 
 The night after the convention, I wrote Lincoln that he would get 
 a larger part of the delegates for President if put in nomination, or 
 all of them for Vice-President. It happened that the evening after 
 getting that letter, Dr. Eitchie, an old resident of Lee County, and 
 then a citizen of Hamilton, 111., across the river from Keokuk, called 
 on Mr. Lincoln at his home in Springfield. The doctor was an en- 
 thusiastic friend of Lincoln for President, and when he told Mr. 
 Lincoln where he lived, Lincoln said he had that day received a letter 
 from an old friend telling him that at least a part of the Iowa dele- 
 gation would support him for President if a candidate, and all of 
 them for Vice-President if not a candidate for President, when Mrs. 
 Lincoln spoke up in a hard, bitter manner and said: "If you can 
 not have the first place, you shall not have the second." 
 
 This was in keeping with Mrs. Lincoln's determination to make 
 her husband President of the United States. Poor, noble, ambitious 
 Mrs. Lincoln. Few women have been more unjustly accused than 
 she has been. I once saw her stop her carriage when leaving the Xew 
 York Avenue Presbyterian Church and take up and send home in 
 her carriage Mrs. Xewton. an old Quaker lady, but poor and not in 
 societv, who was on foot when there was a drizzling rain. She was 
 a kind-hearted, generous, though foolishly proud woman. 
 
 During the Eebellion, for the first two years or more, there was 
 not a day that there was not some self-constituted committee or dele- 
 gation from the Xorth or South urging the protection or destruc- 
 tion of slavery, each party asserting that the adoption of their policy 
 was the only policy that would save the Union. 
 
 At no time during Mr. Lincoln's Presidency did he appoint to, or 
 remove from office, any man because of his personal friendship or 
 dislike when it offended other friends. He believed in the principles 
 of his party, and his whole object was to hold his country together 
 and make his country free and prosperous. Mr. Lincoln had earnest 
 and settled opinions and convictions, but he had no personal pride 
 in his opinions. His whole object during his administration was to 
 put down the Eebellion, destroy slavery, and then have a united, 
 harmonious and prosperous country, Xorth and South, and no man

 would have done more than he to that end had his life been spared. 
 He had no bitterness against any man in the Southern army for 
 simply fighting for the Confederacy; but God alone knows what 
 would have been the result if he had not been assassinated. That 
 he would have been the friend of the people of the South no one 
 doubts; but no one can guess what the policy toward them would 
 have been, and it is useless to speculate. He would have borne much 
 and long. The following incident illustrates his simple, loving char- 
 acter : 
 
 At about the darkest days of the Kebellion, when the earnest men 
 of the North were exceedingly impatient at the apparent want of 
 energy and earnestness on the part of the Generals in the field, Sena- 
 tor Sumner went to the White House, finding with Mr. Lincoln John 
 W. Forney, then the Secretary of the Senate and also proprietor and 
 editor of the Philadelphia Press and the Washington Chronicle. 
 
 The Senator told Mr. Lincoln that he came to induce him at once 
 to issue an emancipation proclamation, freeing the slaves within a 
 short time, if the rebels did not lay down their arms. Mr. Lincoln 
 objected to the issuing of such a proclamation at that time, and took 
 great pains to convince Sumner that it should not be done. Sumner 
 was imperious and rather offensively earnest, Mr. Lincoln bore it 
 a long time, and Sumner, getting more offensive in his manner, Mr. 
 Lincoln stretched out his long arm, and, in loud, earnest tones, said : 
 "Mr. Sumner, I will not issue a proclamation freeing the slaves now." 
 Mr. Sumner at once sprang to his feet and, without a word, rushed 
 out, slamming the door after him and left. 
 
 Forney left the White House in the deepest despair. He knew 
 Sumner's imperious nature, and he had never seen Mr. Lincoln any- 
 thing like mad before, and it was at a time in the Kebellion that he 
 feared all was lost if a rupture occurred between the President and 
 Mr. Sumner. He left and went to his room without speaking to 
 anyone, and spent several exceedingly unhappy hours. About 4 
 o'clock in the afternoon a messenger from the White House found 
 him at his room and handed him an invitation to dine that evening 
 at the White House with the President and Mr. Sumner. 
 
 Mr. Lincoln, after giving Sumner time to cool off, had called on 
 him at his room. What took place there Forney never knew, but he 
 said he never saw Sumner in such high good spirits as he was that 
 evening at dinner. As Forney expressed it, "It was the happiest 
 dinner that three men ever enjoyed/ 7 The emancipation proclama- 
 tion was not then issued (but was at a later period), and from the 
 reconciliatory dinner until his death, Mr. Lincoln had no more earn- 
 est friend than Senator Sumner. 
 
 I went to Washington in February with Governor Kirkwood, and 
 it happened that we reached Harrisburg from the West the same 
 morning that Mr. Lincoln and his party arrived there from Phila- 
 delphia. We concluded to remain over for the day. We stopped at 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 439 
 
 the same hotel with Mr. Lincoln and his party, and Governor Kirk- 
 wood was recognized and feted as of the President's party. Governor 
 Curtin says that Mr. Lincoln went to his room under pretense of 
 spending the night there. That is probably true, but it was given 
 out at the hotel that Mr. Lincoln was worn out and that he had gone 
 to bed to get needed rest, and the most of his party so believed. Mr. 
 Lincoln and his party had a special train and was to leave Harris- 
 burg in the morning, while the regular train for Washington passed 
 Harrisburg at 1 o'clock in the night. Governor Kirkwood and I took 
 that train without any suspicion that Mr. Lincoln had left on a 
 train for Philadelphia. 
 
 We stopped at Gilmore's Hotel in Baltimore and I there met a 
 party of thirty, organized as they told me to start the next morning 
 for Montgomery, Ala., the Confederate seat of government. Six of 
 this party were from Keokuk, townsmen and friends of mine for 
 several years. Of this number was Winder, who, with his uncle, was 
 afterwards the keeper of Andersonville prison, Medcalf, who cap- 
 tured the arsenal at Baton Rouge afterwards, Wooten, who was killed 
 at Fredericksburg. I never heard of the other three afterwards — 
 they were full of liquor. They had just made a night of it before 
 leaving, they told me. There were three or four times as many of 
 the Montgomery party proper, that seemed to form a party of their 
 own, sort of chivalric cut-threats of the pro-slavery element of that 
 day. The Keokuk party kindly wanted me to go with them to Mont- 
 gomery, pledging me a good office, if I would go. They said they 
 would soon return to Washington where I might rely on being pro- 
 tected for old friendship sake. They said they were stopping for a 
 day to see Mr. Lincoln pass through the city. 
 
 Some time before the time of the train on which Mr. Lincoln's 
 party was due, the Governor and I started to the depot, but every 
 approach was blocked for several squares. We worked our way to 
 within a square of the depot when we heard the rumor that Mr. Lin- 
 coln was then in Washington. The crowd in the street became furi- 
 ous, denouncing Mr. Lincoln as a coward and everything discredita- 
 ble. The Governor said to me that I had better go back to the tele- 
 graph office and learn the fact whether Mr. Lincoln was really in 
 Washington. I worked my way back through the crowd for a block, 
 and from there to the telegraph office in the center of the city. I 
 did not see a single person on the street, and in the office the operator 
 was alone. I wrote a dispatch to Senator Harland asking him if Mr. 
 Lincoln was then in Washington. The operator was from the East. 
 He watched me closely, inquired where I was from, and satisfying 
 himself that I was safe, said: "You need not send that dispatch; 
 Mr. Lincoln is in Washington safe, and the happiest dispatch of 
 my life was the one that told me he was there. If he had attempted 
 to come through Baltimore as he expected, he would have been torn 
 to pieces."

 I went back to the Governor, and in a few minutes the train ar- 
 rived with the Lincoln party. With difficulty they got carriages to 
 take them across the city to the Camden depot, and as the party mov- 
 ed through the blocked streets all kinds of epithets were heaped upon 
 them and Mr. Lincoln. One blackguard near me called across the 
 street as Mrs. Lincoln passed, to one of his set : "Did you see Bob ?" 
 "Yes, I saw him, he was gnawing at a piece of bologna sausage." As 
 soon as the party got out of the mob they drove rapidly across the 
 city and got into a car where they remained several hours before the 
 train left. Policemen were stationed at each end of the car for their 
 protection, but the police professed to be greatly outraged that Mr. 
 Lincoln had feared to pass through the city openly. Kane, the most 
 rabid secessionist, was then chief of police. 
 
 There is not a single doubt that if Mr. Lincoln had gone through 
 Baltimore as intended, he literally would have been torn to pieces; 
 and I have no doubt but that the party stopping over to see him be- 
 fore going to Montgomery, including the Keokuk party, remained 
 over to take the news to Jeff Davis that they had seen the dead Lin- 
 coln before leaving Baltimore. I am satisfied that Governor Curtin 
 is not mistaken in his fear that the murder of Mr. Lincoln at that 
 time would have been the success of the rebel cause. But Curtin 
 entirely underrates Mr. Lincoln's ability up to the time of his being- 
 elected President. Mr. Lincoln was always a leader in state conven- 
 tions. He was nominated unanimously for Senator against Douglas 
 when the state was full of great men. Then his great speech in the 
 city of New York in the spring of 1860, that really laid the founda- 
 tion for his nomination in June for President, was the great speech 
 of the campaign. Mr. Lincoln had no college training, or college 
 vanities. He was always learning, and he doubtless learned more 
 and faster during the Eebellion than previously. 
 
 I have read with great interest extracts from Porter, Lamon and 
 others on Grant and Lincoln. I was here in Washington during the 
 Eebellion and in condition to know as well as any outsider did know 
 of the ins and outs of the Washington end of the military line. All 
 are for Grant now, but up to the capture of Vicksburg Grant had 
 few friends in Washington but Lincoln, and none in Congress but 
 Washburn that I ever heard of, and I have not a doubt in my mind 
 that but for Washburn, Grant never would have been reinstated in 
 his command after the suspension. Washburn retired himself to 
 private life by his desertion of Grant in 1880, but during the whole 
 time that Grant needed friends at Washington during the Eebellion, 
 Washburn made Grant's care his very life work. This I know of my 
 personal knowledge. Washburn was then a man of immense will- 
 power, and had a commanding influence in Congress. He and Lin- 
 coln were old anti-slavery friends, and he convinced Mr. Lincoln 
 that the stories of Grant's drunken habits were false, and he also 
 satisfied Lincoln that Grant was a better commander than any of 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 441 
 
 the ones proposed as his successors, and Mr. Lincoln, in his usual 
 dogged tenacity to his own convictions, held on to Grant and put 
 down the Rebellion. 
 
 But it was a terrible fight, for outside of Lincoln and Washburn, 
 Grant had no influential friends in power, except Caleb Smith, Sec- 
 retary of the Interior Department, who on the strength of a letter 
 from an old Indiana friend, then paymaster at Vicksburg, made a 
 bitter fight for Grant just before the Vicksburg surrender, when 
 there was a powerful raid made upon him by John A. McClernand, 
 of Illinois, and that really contributed much to keep Grant in com- 
 mand. 
 
 Two things saved Grant : the one, and main one, was that little 
 attention was paid to the Western armies. The Potomac army and 
 the capture of Kichmond engrossed the public mind. In Congress, 
 and, in the War Department, all the great generals were supposed 
 to be in McClelland army, and none of them wanted to go West. 
 Then there was no one to succeed Grant that could be agreed upon. 
 
 A few months before the Vicksburg surrender I met Colonel 
 Dewe}r, of Iowa, at St. Louis. He was just from Vicksburg and was 
 full of praise of Sherman, and seemed to have none for Grant. I 
 said to him, "Colonel, I take it that you think Sherman should have 
 Granfs place?" The Colonel answered promptly, "I do not. The 
 two together are perfect, and each needs the other. Sherman has the 
 dash, and Grant the dogged, thoughtful hold-on, and I would be 
 sorry to see a change made at this time." And that was the feeling 
 of Mr. Lincoln. 
 
 From the day the Rebellion was inaugurated Mr. Lincoln meant 
 \o destroy slavery and save the Union, but in all that he did there was 
 10 feeling of resentment in his heart. Freedon was the desire of his 
 teart ; his whole life was one of love and kindness. A friend of mine 
 gves me a copy of an endorsement that Mr. Lincoln made on a 
 vWcher which had been rejected by Quartermaster- General Meigs. 
 ^Connecticut hatter of the highest standing took a contract to fur- 
 nlh 84,000 army hats at something less than $2 each. The hats 
 w^e furnished in lots, and when the last lot was received, the con- 
 tractor was, for the first time, notified that his hats were not equal to 
 the^tandard, and his voucher was rejected by Meigs. The contractor 
 propsed to prove the hats equal to the standard, telling Meigs, which 
 the Vtter well knew, that the price of materials had risen beyond the 
 contact price for the hats. Meigs would accept no compromise or 
 statement, and the hats, being of the army pattern, had no other 
 value; The contractor, with a near friend of Mr. Lincoln, went to 
 the Fesident in his despair. Mr. Lincoln patiently heard the facts 
 in thepase, and made the following endorsement on the voucher : 
 
 "Asl understand this case, Mr. Seeley took a contract to make a 
 certainnumber of hats, to be of equal and of uniform quality with 
 the sanile hat, which he himself made and submitted. The inspector 
 
442 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 at Cincinnati rejects the hats, on the ground, as he alleges, that they 
 are not equal to the sample. Mr. Seeley avers that they are equal to, 
 and indeed superior, to his sample, and furnishes the affidavits of 
 large numbers of his workmen to prove his statement. It also ap- 
 pears that since Mr. Seeley took his contract the price of materials 
 out of which these hats are made has greatly advanced, and that the 
 government is now paying nearly a dollar per hat more for army hats 
 than when the Seeley contract was made. It is also stated that Mr. 
 Seeley will be ruined if his said hats be not taken by the government. 
 Under these circumstances I would recommend that Mr. Seeley's 
 hats be accepted, for, surely the government can have no interest in 
 
 the ruin of an honest contractor. . T „ 
 
 A. Lincoln." 
 
 Meigs accepted the hats, after denouncing the President's endorse- 
 ment. This letter is in character with Mr. Lincoln's whole life. 
 
 I was twice in Springfield during the winter of 1860 and '61. 
 
 Mr. Lincoln was overrun, night and day, while I was there by peo- 
 ple that wanted office for themselves or friends, or to defeat the ap- 
 pointment of men that they did not like. Thurlow Weed had just 
 been there in the interest of Seward, and to make sure that Simon 
 Cameron did not get a place in the cabinet, or even have the good 
 will of Mr. Lincoln. Julian, of Indiana, was there while I was there 
 to hit Cameron, and make sure that Caleb B. Smith of Indiana, did 
 not have a place in the cabinet, or other recognition. 
 
 The second time that I was at Springfield, Mr. Lincoln made an 
 appointment and met me at my room in the hotel, where he talked 
 freely about the torture that was being laid upon him by the swell 
 mob then, and that had been in Springfield. Amongst others several 
 self-constituted delegates had been, or were there then, from the 
 South, mainly from Kentucky, his birthplace, telling him that a 
 President, if he let slavery alone, he would have no trouble, but th?: 
 if he attempted to interfere with slavery his administration would fe 
 in great danger and short-lived. 
 
 I will in this connection give a letter that I wrote to G-overr>r 
 Kirkwood on my return home : 
 
 Keokuk, Jan. 20, 1861. — Dear Governor: — I have been to 
 Springfield again. I spent last week there ; and if there is any -ian 
 entitled to our smypathy it is Mr. Lincoln. He is thoroughly eset 
 on all sides by the friends of different Cabinet aspirants. The mom- 
 ent it is understood that any particular man is to go into the Ctfinet 
 the enemies, or rather the clique, who want some one else to fil that 
 particular place, at once beset Mr. Lincoln with all sorts of exposi- 
 tion to the appointment even to attacks upon private character God 
 only knows how things may be settled, both as to the Cabinet nd the 
 troubles of our common country. I will give you my notions^ who 
 will constitute the Cabinet : Seward, Secretary of State ; Chse, Sec- 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 443 
 
 retary of the Treasury; Cameron, War; Trumbull, Interior; "Wells, 
 Postmaster- General; Bates, Attorney- General ; Clay, aSTavy. This, 
 you will see, is not according to the papers and it may be wide of the 
 mark. It is not the intention to make Clay Secretary of the Xavy 
 at this time, still, I think that the war difficulties will either make 
 him, or probably continue Holt, during the troubles, as Secretary of 
 War, and Cameron, Xavy. If Cameron insists on being Secretary 
 of the Treasury and will take nothing else, he will get it, and thus 
 will be an entire change of the slate in the Northwest. Smith and 
 Warren may come in, in the place of Trumbull and Wells, and Xew 
 England will then get the Navy, and Clay the War Department. 
 There is great danger with the Cabinet. If Chase and Cameron go 
 in there will be at least three Presidential aspirants, and not the best 
 friends to each other. I wanted Banks; he has more useful ability 
 than any man in the Nation and. in my opinion, would make the 
 most efficient Secretary of State, Treasury or Interior, that this Xa- 
 tion has ever had. Do you want anything that I could help you in 
 getting? If you do, command me. Mr. Lincoln asked me if you 
 wanted anything. I told him I did not think you did ; that I knew 
 you were not an office seeker; that you was a man who was fond of 
 domestic life; that your honors in Iowa had rather been forced on 
 you than otherwise; that your position was such that you could be 
 United States Senator at the next Senatorial election if the party 
 lived and you desired it ; to be Senator, was, in my estimation, the 
 most desirable office in the gift of the people. (To this proposition 
 Mr. Lincoln fully assented and with much animation said: "I 
 would rather be Senator for six years than be President.'*) If you 
 were looking that way it was important that you should be with the 
 people, and consequently you would not want to leave that state. I 
 said to him that I did not know your feelings on the subject. If I 
 was mistaken, and in any way created a false impression, let me know 
 and I will, with the greatest pleasure, correct it. I frankly told Mr. 
 Lincoln what I honestly believed to be true; that but few men ren- 
 dered him so much service at Chicago as you did. Let me hear from 
 you and you will find me ready to serve you now or hereafter. 
 
 Yours most truly, 
 
 Hawkixs Taylor.

 To the Fairfield Ledger: — I see that the good people of your 
 count}* propose to get out a history of the early incidents 
 of the settlement of the county. This is as it should be. 
 There is nothing that more interests the people of a county than to 
 learn all about the earlv history of that county. In Lee they have 
 had a yearly reunion of the settlers in that count}* previous to 1840. 
 It is the day of all days, and all look forward to that occasion, as I 
 did when I was a boy to the coming of the Fourth of July. The old 
 
444 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 and the young attend, and for that day all enmity is given up, the 
 whole county meet as friends, and the whole country is benefited. 
 Every county in the state should have the history of the state's early 
 days written up as it was — all the trials, disadvantages and poverty 
 of the time. I have always claimed more interest in Jefferson Coun- 
 ty than in any other in the state, outside of Lee, and I will add what 
 little I know to her early history. 
 
 In the spring of 1836, Scott and Combs Walker, cousins of mine, 
 
 James G-ilmore, Burton Litton, Hardin Butler, Hardin, and 
 
 probably some other families that I have now forgotten, settled in 
 the Bound Prairie. They were all from Adair County, Kentucky, 
 the same county that I came from. On the Fourth of July of that 
 year was the first sale of lots in Salem, Henry County. The sale had 
 been extensively advertised, and I attended it. There was no house 
 nearer the town at that time than the timber on Little Cedar, some 
 two miles off. There was a large attendance for a sale at that day, 
 probably fifty people. I ate dinner with Father Street, the proprietor 
 of the town, one of the most intelligent men I ever met. I intended 
 to go to the Eound Prairie to visit my friends. There was no road, 
 but the old man Street gave me the course, and I succeeded in reach- 
 ing Scott Walker's that evening. 
 
 The Cedar Creek bottom at that time was one mat of pea-vine, and 
 for some distance the lower part of Pound Prairie was a thick mass 
 of black-jack, plum, crab and hazel bushes. It was accidental that I 
 found my way. Eound Prairie was then in full bloom with prairie 
 flowers, and a most beautiful sight, and a most desirable place for a 
 settlement, as I thought. My friends had all of them built them- 
 selves cabins, and had little patches of corn planted in the edge of 
 the timber, and had some little prairie broken. There was not a 
 sawed board about their cabins. The floors were puncheons, the 
 doors clapboards, and the roof boards laid on ribs and weighted down 
 with other poles. They all had cows and plenty of milk, cornbread 
 and butter, and were as content as they could be. Hardin Butler 
 was the grandson of John Butler, one of the most noted Indian scouts 
 that ever lived in Kentucky. That fall, Hardin, like the children of 
 Israel of old, took his young wife and his household goods and went 
 to his father's in Illinois to winter. His father had plenty and he 
 had raised no crop in Iowa. In that day nearly the entire emigration 
 to Iowa, south of Skunk, crossed the Mississippi river at Fort 
 Madison. 
 
 In the winter of 1838-9 I served in the first Iowa Legislature with 
 W. C. Coop, who then lived on Walnut Creek, and in part represented 
 Henry County. That part of Jefferson that had then been purchased 
 from the Indians was attached to Henry County for legislative and 
 judicial purposes. In that whole Legislature there was but a single 
 member that had ever been in a Legislature before. That one was 
 Van Delishmut, who was living a few years since in Mahaska County. 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 445 
 
 This ends the record down to Joseph, the youngest son of John 
 Walker, the emigrant. Before taking up his family we give some 
 interesting notes taken from the History of Mason and Menard 
 Counties, where most of the family settled who went to Illinois at 
 an early day. There will also be found copies of some old letters 
 written by different members of the family. These letters give us 
 a glimpse of the home life of the writers, and are thought worthy of 
 preservation. And as it is well known that Augusta County heart- 
 ily espoused the cause of the Colonists during the period leading up 
 to and including the Revolutionary struggle, it was considered proper 
 to make mention also of what has come down to us in the Annals of 
 Virginia as a part of the history of these times. After which will 
 follow the record of the remaining branches of the descendants of 
 John Walker of Wigton, so far as they are known to us.

 EIGHTY-FIFTH INFANTEY, ILLINOIS. 
 
 The Eighty-Fifth, being a Mason County regiment, is entitled to 
 a more complete history in this connection, on account of its con- 
 taining various members of the Walker family, both officers and men. 
 The regiment was organized at Peoria in August, 1862, by Colonel 
 Eobert S. Moore, and was mustered into service on the 27th of Aug- 
 ust, 1862. 
 
 On Sept. 6, 1862, under orders, the regiment went by rail to Louis- 
 ville, Ky., where it was assigned to the 36th Brigade, 11th Division 
 3rd Army Corps — Colonel D. McCook commanding the Brigade. 
 Brigadier- General P. H. Sheridan commanding the Division, and 
 Major- General Gilbert commanding the Corps. 
 
 On the first of October the regiment marched in pursuit of the 
 enemy under General Bragg, and engaged in the Battle of Chaplain 
 Hills, at Perry ville, Ky., on Oct. 8, and from there moved with the 
 army to Nashville, Tenn., which place was reached on Nov. 7, 1862. 
 The regiment went into winter quarters in and about Nashville, and 
 while there the Battles of Stone Eiver were fought, and various 
 marches and counter-marches were made, the regiment remaining in 
 the vicinity until about the 1st of July, when it went with the army 
 to Murfreesborough, soon returning to Nashville. 
 
 On the 20th of August, 1863, the regiment left, with General Me- 
 Cook's Brigade, for the South, going to Huntsville, Ala., and then 
 to Chattanooga to join General Eosecran's army, and to participate 
 in the bloody Battle of Chickamauga, which began on the 17th of 
 September and lasted until the 21st. They then camped at North 
 Chickamauga, and on the 25th of November took part in the Battle 
 of Mission Eidge. On the 28th, they went into the command of Gen- 
 eral Sherman to the relief of the beleaguered city of Knoxville. The

 enemy retired, and the regiment then went into winter quarters at 
 Chattanooga. 
 
 In February, 1864, the regiment participated in the battle at Buz- 
 zard's Eoost Gap, losing heavily in the engagement, which lasted 
 two days. On the third of May the army under the command of 
 General Sherman left for the campaign against Atlanta, fighting the 
 second Battle of Buzzard's Roost on May 9th, 10th and 11th, and 
 the Battle of Eessaca on the 14th and loth, and the Battle of Rome, 
 on the 17th of May. 
 
 The Eighty- Fifth was the first regiment to enter and occupy the 
 city of Atlanta. The Battle of Dallas continued from the 27th of 
 May to the 5th of J une ; the Battle of Kenesaw Mountain from the 
 11th to the 27th of June. In this desperate battle the Eighty-Fifth 
 lost heavily, amongst them some of the best soldiers of the regiment, 
 including Lieutenant Chatfleld, Clark Andrews, Henry Buck and 
 Sergeant Duvall. The next engagement with the enemy was at the 
 Chattahoochie River on the 18th of July, and at Peach Tree Creek, 
 on the 19th of July, in which the 85th lost heavily again in killed, 
 wounded and captured. The battle near Atlanta was on the 20th 
 and 22nd of July. On the 1st of September the hard-fought Battle 
 of Jonesboro was participated in by the 85th, and Colonel Dilworth 
 was severely wounded. On the 4th of September the army entered 
 Atlanta in charge of some two thousand prisoners. On the 29th of 
 September the army fell back to Athens, and from there marched to 
 Florence, Ala., which was reached on the 5th of October. On the 
 10th the army returned to Athens, and from there went to Chatta- 
 nooga, arriving there October 14th. On the 18th the army again 
 marched to join the army of the Cumberland, reaching Kingston, 
 via Rome, on the 1st of November, destroying all the railroads on the 
 way, and continuing on to Atlanta, which was reached on the 15th. 
 
 On the 16th of November, 1864, the grand army under General 
 Sherman took up its march to the sea, destroying the railroads as 
 they went, as far as Covington, which duty was performed by the 
 advance brigade, in which the 85th belonged. 
 
 On the 24th the army left Milledgeville and marched to Sanders- 
 ville, skirmishing with the enemy on the way. On the 1st of Decem- 
 ber the army left Louisville, where it had been in camp several days. 
 The 85th lost several men while foraging here. The army met no 
 further serious resistance until it had reached the Savannah River, 
 
452 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 near Savannah, where the enemy was met and kept up a constant 
 skirmish until the city of Savannah was reached on the 11th of 
 December. On the 14th Fort McAllister was taken and communi- 
 cation opened with the Atlantic. On the 20th the city of Savannah 
 was evacuated by the enemy, and on the 21st our army occupied the 
 city, capturing 180 heavy guns, large stores of ammunition, 25,000 
 bales of cotton, and immense quantities of military supplies. 
 
 On this raid, the army marched over three hundred miles through 
 the heart of Georgia, subsisting upon the choicest supplies of the 
 enemy. Not less than ten thousand negroes left the plantations of 
 their masters and marched with the army in its advance to the sea, 
 in pursuit of that liberty which is dear to every man, black as well 
 as white. 
 
 The army left Savannah on the 20th of January, 1865, on its 
 march through South Carolina, crossing into that state on February 
 5, 1865. On the 8th the army cut loose from all communications, 
 and marched to Columbia, the capital of the state, and from there 
 north, passing Cherou, and continuing to Fayetteville, N. C, which 
 was reached on the 11th of March, and a rebel arsenal destroyed. 
 
 On the 15th the army marched from Fayetteville to Averysboro, 
 and had an engagement with the enemy on the 16th, and from 
 thence to Goldsboro, via Bentonville, where the enemy was again met 
 and engaged in a battle on the 19th and 20th of March. On the 
 23rd the army reached Goldsboro, terminating the second grand raid 
 of Sherman's army through Georgia and the two Carolinas, a dis- 
 tance of over five hundred miles, crossing ten rivers, fighting two 
 battles and any number of skirmishes. 
 
 From Goldsboro the army went in pursuit of Johnston's forces, 
 and arrived at Ealeigh on the 13th of April, the enemy retreating 
 and the city surrendering to our army. From there our army march- 
 ed to Avery's Ferry, on the Cape Fear River, arriving there on the 
 15th of April, and General Sherman received a communication from 
 General Johnston which ended further hostilities. On the 25th an- 
 other conference was had, General Grant participating, which ter- 
 minated in General Johnston's surrender on the same terms given 
 to General Lee at Appomattox, Va., on April 9th. 
 
 The war being terminated, the army proceeded on its march to 
 Washington, via Richmond, and was mustered out on the 5th of 
 June, the 85th arriving at Camp Butler, 111., on the 11th of June.

 Dear Sir: 
 
 Not having written to yon for some time I would inform 
 yon that myself and family are well at this time, likewise all the rela- 
 tives in this country and coming on much as yon wonld expect. 
 There is nothing new here of consequence at present unless it is the 
 stir about the Missouri country. People here are much agitated with 
 the notion of that country. Joseph Patterson is going to see it this 
 fall if he can possibly get his business so arranged that he can leave 
 home : and if he likes the country he intends living in it, and wants 
 as many of his friends and neighbors to go with him as will consti- 
 tute a good settlement. We have not heard an^hing from your 
 brother for some time. We have been expecting him along about 
 this time. The last account that we had was that he was intending 
 to come home this winter as it was uncertain whether the office would 
 be opened this fall or not for the entering of land in that country: 
 however, it is said that the surveyors are nearly done surveying out 
 the country and it is very probable that as soon as their works are re- 
 turned an office will be opened. It is said (by people who have mov- 
 ed to that country and have been back here this summer) that there 
 are great crops there this season, so that I am led to believe that there 
 will be a great emigration there this fall. There are a number of 
 places for sale in this country at this time. Some are for the Mis- 
 souri and some are for the Mississippi territory, and some over the 
 Ohio and some will stay where they are. I think on account of 
 not getting their land sold. Crops are good here this season, and T 
 believe generally so throughout the Western countries, so far as I 
 have heard. 
 
 The young people here are not so much in the spirit of marrying 
 as they have been in time past. James Walker was married on last 
 Thursday evening to a Miss Cox. which has been the only one of the 
 kin for some time past. Your cousin.

 W. A. WALKER (No. 1950). 
 
 Rogersville, Jan. 8, 1832. 
 
 Dear Brother: 
 
 By the last eastern mail we received yours of the 31st ult, 
 containing the mournful intelligence of the death of our brother, 
 Alexander. We had heard of his sickness, but had not considered 
 his attack as very serious, and knowing that he possessed a good con- 
 stitution we hoped that he would soon be restored to his accustomed 
 state of health. We were, therefore, entirely unprepared to hear of 
 his death. 
 
 I do not know that I have ever been acquainted with a man whose 
 character I more highly esteemed, certainly with none in the same 
 walk in life. To integrity and honesty which knew no temptation 
 he added prudence, combined with a : courage both physical and moral 
 which cast out fear. But perhaps the most distinctive trait in his 
 character was his strong common sense. In this he certainly ex- 
 celled most men, and this would have distinguished him more among 
 his fellows in any other sphere in human society in which he might 
 have been placed, no matter how exalted, than it did in the one which 
 he so well filled. I need not tell you that I feel the loss of such a 
 brother no common loss and that I can fully and deeply sympathize 
 with you in this great bereavement. In a letter which I received 
 from Mr. Morrison at the same time that I received yours he informs 
 me that his religious exercises were of a kind most satisfactory to his 
 Christian friends, and that as far as man can judge "His end was 
 Peace." This is all that can console the bereaved, and while we bless 
 God for this great consolation may we with renewed effort endeavor 
 so to live that we may be able to bequeath the same to those friends 
 whom we may leave behind. 
 
 When we were in Rockbridge a year ago I was surprised to see 
 Brother Alexander enjoying such good health and in the possession 
 of so much vigor, both of body and mind. I have often since recur- 
 red to a night we then spent at his house when we sat up almost all / 
 the night engaged in the most interesting conversation. It occurred 
 to me then and has often occurred to me since that high as I had 
 esteemed his good qualities both of the head and of the heart, I had 
 estimated them too low. When I have indulged the hope of return-

 ing to that country I have always anticipated heretofore much pleas- 
 ure from the society of a beloved brother who, when I last saw him. 
 was enjoying and seemed then likely to enjoy the pleasures of a 
 "Green Old Age.'- But now this pleasant prospect is blasted — every 
 year I find some of the chords that bound me to my native land 
 broken. Still I have a strong desire to spend the remainder of my 
 days in that region, and could the times alter so that I could dispose 
 of our property here I think we would sell out and go somewhere else. 
 I have got tired of the practice of medicine and tired of ever- 
 lasting contention. I . desire repose. My health requires less ex- 
 posure than my present engagements will permit. But the constitu- 
 tion of my mind was never designed for a state of war and I feel that 
 while I remain here I must, if not actually engaged in a state of 
 preparation — that the only way by which I can preserve peace is al- 
 ways to be ready for war. You know enough of my temperament to 
 know how disagreeable this must be to me. Yet I do not wish you to 
 think that I feel myself unable to maintain my position here, or that 
 I have felt myself worsted in any of the conflicts which I have had. 
 Those with whom I have had to contend do not at least feel so. but I 
 do not like a situation where I must always keep myself in a defen- 
 sive attitude. As I have already said I desire repose. We have but 
 one child and it a daughter. The educating and providing for her 
 now seems to be our principal worldly care. We feel as if we could 
 do these better somewhere else than here. If we sell out here we will 
 probably go to Eockbridge before we settle again. We now have no 
 prospect of selling soon. 
 
 I received a letter by yesterday's mail from brother John. It was 
 dated 22nd of December. They were all well. He said something of 
 going to Eockbridge in the spring, but spoke of it as being very 
 doubtful. He seems to be absorbed in business, perplexing and wor- 
 rying himself to amass money enough to spoil one only child. 
 
 Our church matters remain as when I wrote you last. I would 
 have found it very difficult to have got along with my pecuniary en- 
 gagements if it had not been for my salary as President of the bank. 
 It has been almost impossible to collect anything for practice. We 
 have no expectation of getting a preacher soon. I think that if any- 
 thing can be done for Presbyterianism in Western Virginia or East- 
 ern Tennessee it must be by the establishment of some judicious plan 
 of Itinerancy, and I hope something of the kind will soon be tried.

 St. Louis, 16th April, 1823. 
 
 My Dear Brother : 
 
 By last mail I received yours of the 4th of March, which 
 informed us of your safe return to the land of our fathers', "to the 
 land that contains all that binds you to this world." I had awaited 
 the arrival of the mail with no little impatience for some time past, 
 expecting to hear of your progress homeward. I received your letter 
 written at Uncle Hugh Kelso's. You will no doubt be surprised, and 
 I hope agreeably so, to learn that I am already a benedict, that I was 
 united in the bonds of holy matrimony with Elvira on the 20th of 
 March by Mr. Lacy. 
 
 We did not have a large wedding, merely a few of our respective 
 friends. Mr. Conrad officiated as second, assisted by Mr. Elliott. 
 Miss Dorcas Bent and Miss Geyes, on the bride's part. The guests 
 from town were Mr. Gamble and lady, Mr. Barton, Dove, Lane, 
 Judge Tucker, Eliza and some three or four others. 
 
 We commenced housekeeping on the 22nd in the south end of the 
 jail. I had a door cut in that end and all communication cut off 
 from the office. The old stairs that led up from the cellar was taken 
 away and a bedroom made on that end of the large room and one 
 taken off the office on the west side, so that we have three rooms, which 
 makes it quite a comfortable residence. Elvira has been a good deal 
 unwell with a bad cold which I believe she had when you were here. 
 She is, however, much better. 
 
 Miss Mary Stuart died about the first of this month after a short 
 but most severe illness. Judge Stuart is our circuit judge. Bates is 
 engaged to Julia Coalter ; will be married in the fall.

 My Dear Sister : 
 
 If you have not forgotten the promise which I made you in 
 my last that I would write to you from this place, I suppose you be- 
 gin to think it nearly time that you should receive my promised let- 
 ter. Since my arrival here I have written several letters to my 
 friends in Rockbridge from all of which you will learn that a most 
 merciful Providence has hitherto watched over me in my wanderings 
 through this Western country. My health has been good since I saw 
 you. I feel myself quite at home, far more so than I could have anti- 
 cipated. Our brother and his family are well. He has enjoyed un- 
 interrupted health since he entered upon the married life, and not- 
 withstanding the constant pressure of business he has become quite' 
 fleshy. The duties of his office require his whole time. He seems to 
 possess the love and respect of all classes of society without having 
 stooped to the least means of deportment to acquire it. With Elvira. 
 I am exceedingly delighted. She is certainly a most loving wife, 
 affectionate mother, industrious and first-rate housekeeper. I be- 
 lieve the state does not furnish a smarter, more lovely or interesting 
 woman. From her I receive every mark of affection and of kindness, 
 and I love her as my sister. Mrs. Brown, Elvira^s mother, is a most 
 amiable and excellent Presbyterian lady. Her uncle, Joseph C. 
 Brown, is a man of genuine piety, superior talents, and one of the 
 first men in the state, an active member of the Senate. I am ex- 
 ceedingly pleased with him. I might mention the names of several 
 others from whom I have received the most polite notice and the most 
 kind treatment, but as they are strangers to you, it could interest you. 
 little. 
 
 Girls do not abound in this country, yet I have opportunity every 
 once and awhile to display all the little gallantry I am master of. I 
 have been once to the Dardenne prairie (the Coalter and Tucker and, 
 Naylor neighborhood), so much celebrated for the beauty and loveli- 
 ness of its girls. Miss Caroline Coalter is the belle of Missouri. She 
 is quite an interesting girl. I was treated with much kindness, and 
 have since received invitations to revisit it.

 St. Louis, 9th October, 1816. 
 
 Dear Brother: 
 
 I will inform you that I am well and have enjoyed good 
 health ever since I left home. The two Misses Tates, Joseph Walker 
 and myself arrived here yesterday. Mr. Brown and Stuart are to be 
 in town this evening. They stopped to preach at a Mr. Fulton's, 21 
 miles from this place. We left Lexington on the 27th ult. The 
 Tates were to meet us at Louisville on the 29th. We got to Louisville 
 on Saturday evening. The Tates got there on Sunday. They lodged 
 in Shelbyville on Saturday night, at which place they were robbed of 
 all their money, except a little change which James Tate had in his 
 saddle bags, amounting to three or four dollars. John Tate lost all 
 but 25 cents which was in his pocket. It was taken from under their 
 heads when asleep. There was another gentleman sleeping in the 
 same room who shared the same fate. Fortunately for us we were 
 not with them. They advertised in the Louisville, Frankfort and 
 Lexington papers, described the notes as well as they could and offer- 
 ed $100 reward. Their chances for getting it are very dull. We left 
 Louisville on Monday and reached Vincennes on Thursday about 12 ' 
 o'clock. After furnishing ourselves with provisions and grain for 
 
 our horses we came on to the the next day. We rode 
 
 45 miles to the little Wabash. From there we got to a camp in the 
 
 Grand Prairie. The next day we got to the ; from there 
 
 we came to Squire Fulton's, where Mr. Brown and Stuart were to

 preach yesterday. We fared tolerably well for provisions, but suffer- 
 ed a good deal for water. In the prairies there was none but stagnant 
 water from the little Wabash to the Oaka, a distance of sixty miles. 
 The country from the Ohio to the Wabash along the road we travel- 
 ed is mostly poor except in the bottoms along the water courses, par- 
 ticularly on the White Eiver, but they overflow and the people wore a 
 sickly appearance. We hardly stopped in a house in the State of 
 Indiana but there were three or four sick. The people here look much 
 more healthy than on the other side of the river. Eespecting the 
 country I can say nothing from my own knowledge. Some speak 
 highly of it, others not. I expect we will leave St. Louis to-morrow 
 and go on toward St. Charles. I expect Mr. Brown and Stuart will 
 go on as far as Boon's Lick. The rest of us have some thought of 
 going up the Illinois Eiver with Fulton. He is going up to look out 
 a settlement. Whether we will or not is uncertain. There is no 
 office opened for the sale of public land here, and it is doubtful 
 whether it will be before next summer or fall. Land is rising very 
 fast. The common price of unimproved land is from three to four 
 and five dollars per acre. You will remember me to mother and the 
 family and friends. I am yours, affectionately, etc.,

 Dear Brother: 
 
 We received some days since a letter from your daughter 
 which gave us the painful and unlooked for account of the death of 
 an only and affectionate sister. How true is it that in the midst of 
 life we are in death. What is our loss is undoubtedly her gain. 
 What greater consolation could we have, than we have, in her walk 
 and conversation, which I have always understood were that of a de- 
 voted Christian. To her children her loss must be most severely felt, 
 and yet she was spared to see them all arrive at years of discretion, 
 but still they have no mother to consult with, nor to watch over them, 
 such as only a mother can. I feel very much for them, and wish I 
 could assist in any way that would be advantageous — nothing would 
 give me more pleasure.

 I still hope to visit Virginia, but how much of my anticipated 
 pleasure is cut off by this dispensation of Providence, that to us short- 
 sighted creatures is so mysterious. Sister Polly and Betsey both gone, 
 and how soon it may please the dispenser of all things to summon us, 
 He only knows. I feel anxious to know what the children intend do-

 should break up I should be glad to have one of the girls live with us, 
 or indeed both of them if they could only get here. I hope to be able 
 to get to your country next year if we all live. 
 
 My family are in about our usual health. Uncle Joseph Walker 
 is here, very low with an affection of the lungs. I think he will not 
 live many days. Write me immediately and particularly. Give my

 Dear Nephew : 
 
 I received yours of the 1st of August a few days ago and 
 thank you most sincerely for the favor. It has been very grateful to 
 my feelings to receive such kind testimonials from old friends whom 
 we had supposed had almost ceased to think of us as yet in the land 
 of the living. Both Mary, Lavinia and myself have received many 
 letters from friends in Tennessee and Virginia, full of expressions 
 of the deepest sympathy in our bereavement, and bearing the most 
 ample testimony to the worth of the dear departed. Yet how little 
 did they, or any one else know of her excellence ; in purity of heart, 
 sincerity, freedom from guile and disinterestedness, she had few 
 equals ; but it was in the sincere and ardent attachment and the un- 
 tiring vigilance with which she watched over them that she excelled 
 all whom I have ever known. We lived together upwards of twenty 
 years. I know not what to do ; have formed no plans for the future. 
 I expect to send Mary and Lavinia to school, and further than this 
 I have not determined. Mary and Lavinia. have been on the other

 The Northwestern and Northeastern E. E. Co. have finally con-

 I can command the leisure and the composure necessary.

 Dear Brother : 
 
 I would have written to you from "Walker Kelso's, but for 
 the want of paper. I then intended writing you from Mount Sterl-

 not leave there until to-day. We got to Walker Kelso's on Thursday 
 evening, after a very disagreeable journey, owing to the wet weather. 
 Walker Kelso's family are well. I stayed there until Saturday. 
 Aunt Jane, Polly and myself came to Mount Sterling to hear the 
 
 preaching, it being Mr. Howe's sacrament . I came on 
 
 to Eobert Stuarf s, where I was to meet Mr. Brown. Eobert Stuart 
 is going with us, which will detain us until Friday. He intends 
 selling his plantation and moving thither, if the country pleases him. 
 We relinquished the idea of going to Cincinnati, principally because 
 the Louisville road is much the best and somewhat the shortest. Mr. 
 Brown and myself went to Lexington from Stuarf s yesterday, where 
 we met with the Tates and Joseph Walker. I came out to Mrs. 
 Moore's last evening with Joseph Walker. You can tell Mr. Craw- 
 ford that she and the family are well. We have seen several and 
 heard from a number of others that have been in Missouri, all of

 LETTER TO THOMAS H. WALKER FROM HIS BROTHER, 
 
 H. WALKER. 
 
 Uncle Joseph's, Ky., March 15, 1825. 
 
 My Dear Brother: 
 
 On the first of this present month I left Maryville for Mis- 
 souri. The same day I reached John Taylor's, where in making my- 
 self known, I was received by both himself and his lady with much 
 kindness. After leaving there I traveled for two days. At the cabin 
 where I stopped the second night the landlady had neither coffee nor 
 had she any tea, except sassafras, of which I drank two or three cups. 
 Next morning when I awoke I heard it raining, and I assure you 
 that I was not much inclined to lay by in the mountains ; so I set out 
 early and had little or no rain during the day. I made about thirty- 
 five miles. I was well entertained where I staid all night, and the 
 next day I got on about 28 miles to old Jamey Hay's or rather his 
 son-in-law's, for the old man himself is dead. I was informed that 
 Uncle Alex was also dead. This was unexpected intelligence; I 
 hardly knew whether to believe it. The next morning I reached 
 Uncle Joseph's about ten o'clock and I found the information re- 
 specting Uncle Alex's death to be correct. He died on the 25th of 
 July. I am uncertain when I shall set out. I have an opportunity 
 of company in four or five days which, should the weather continue 
 favorable, I will probably embrace. If I go by myself I shall go by 
 Louisville and Uncle Hugh Kelso's, to whose house it is about one 
 hundred and forty miles. Uncle Joseph is anxious and talks much 
 about moving to Missouri. There is as little chance of selling land in 
 this section of country as in Rockbridge, and it will doubtless be some 
 time before he is able to make sale of his. Whether I shall get Peg- 
 gy's money seems uncertain. It will be due from Bailey in May, and

 it is thought he will pay. I heard Mr. Eobinson preach his last ser- 
 mon to the people of Columbia on yesterday. He and family set out 
 this morning for West Tennessee, where he intends living in future. 
 I have had little chance of learning what is the state of religion in 
 this country very particularly, but it is certainly very low and little 
 hopes of it shortly reviving. People in Virginia are not too much 
 disposed to pay their preachers, but in this country they would seem 
 to make it a matter of conscience not to pay them anything. The 
 country is overrun by Marshallites, Methodists, Baptists and Cum- 
 berland Presbyterians. There is no Presbyterian clergymen left 
 within several miles, and I presume that few will exert themselves 
 to procure a successor to Mr. Eobinson. 
 
 May health and every blessing be yours, both of a temporal and 
 spiritual kind, is the sincere wish and prayer of yours affectionately, 
 
 H. Walker.

 My Dear Unknown Cousin : 
 
 With sentiments of highest respect I take this opportunity of an- 
 swering your very kind and pleasant letter of January 14th. I am 
 pleased to know that I have a lovely cousin, Miss E. H. Brown. 
 
 You wish to know something of your kindred in Tazewell County. 
 My father married Miss Barbary Taylor of Eockbridge County ; had 
 three children: James Eutherford, Martha Poague and William T. 
 Moore. My brother James went to Tennessee and married a half- 
 blood Indian and became very wealthy. We have not heard from 
 him for fifty years. My sister, Martha Poague, married Abraham 
 Still, an eminent physician and preacher. He is now dead. She is 
 still living in Kansas; is eighty-six years old. She raised eleven 
 children. Two of her sons are ministers and two are doctors. I 
 think several of her grandsons are ministers.

 My father's second wife was Miss Nancy Shannon of TazewelL 
 They had nine children. Sally, the oldest, married a Mr. Whilly 
 and raised a large and respectable family. They all moved to Mis- 
 souri years ago and have done well. Joseph A. Moore married his 
 cousin, Mattie Moore. They raised eleven children, all living but 
 two. Joseph Moore has been dead some two or three years. His wife 
 is yet living — a very excellent old lady. Milton L. Moore, next 
 brother, married a Miss Perry; went to Missouri at an early day; 
 went to California on a mining expedition and died on his way home. 
 His wife is still living. She raised a very respectable family. A. P. 
 Moore, my next brother, has been dead some thirteen years ; had four 
 children, two dead. John S. Moore, next brother, married a Miss 
 Whilly for his first wife. His second wife was a Miss Shannon ; six 
 children by his first wife and twelve by the last. He lives in Taze- 
 well. Isaac Q. Moore married a Miss Taber of Tazewell. They have 
 eight children living close to me. My sister, Mary Moore, married 
 a Mr. William Whilly, near Tazewell Court House; four children. 
 Mr. Whilly has been dead some time. My sister, Jane S. Moore, 
 married her cousin, James H., only son of Uncle Joseph Moore, one 
 of the best men Tazewell ever produced. They had three children, 
 one son and two daughters. Her second husband was Mr. Charles 
 Tifany, a wealthy and good man. He has been dead eight or ten 
 years. She had one daughter by Mr. Tifany, who married Mr. St. 
 Clare of Bluestone, the wealthiest man in the county. My youngest 
 sister, Elizabeth, married the Eev. Dr. John Hoague of Bland Coun- 
 ty. She has been dead twenty years. She had no children. She was 
 a very handsome, sprightly woman, greatly beloved by all that knew 
 her. 
 
 I will now give you an account of my humble self. I am eighty- 
 three years old the 7th of March, if I live to see it. I am the youngest 
 son of Barbara Taylor, my father's first wife. I am living on my 
 grandfather's old farm, in sight of his grave; have lived here fifty- 
 five years; have been blessed with wonderfully fine health. I can 
 safely say that I have made more tracks and suffered less pain than 
 any other man in the State of Virginia. My first wife was a Miss 
 Matilda Perry of Abbs' Valley, one of the prettiest and best women 
 the world has ever produced. We had two children, Lavina Walker 
 and Elvira Houston. Lavina married William Daniel. She lives in 
 Texas ; has five children living, one dead, a doctor and a preacher in

 the family. Your Uncle Joseph Moore lived and died in Wright 
 Valley, five miles from Abbs 7 Valley. They had ten children, only 
 three living. My second wife was Miss Mary Barns of Tazewell. 
 We had nine children, seven living. Our oldest son, Eobert, was 
 killed at Winchester during the war. Our oldest daughter, Matilda, 
 married Samuel Mustard of Bland County, an excellent man, and 
 doing well. Lavina married a Mr. Higanbothan. They live in Taze- 
 well. My son, Charles, married a Miss Taylor of Tazewell; live one 
 mile above Mr. William S. Moore. My third son married Miss India 
 Taylor. She has been dead about four years. They had but one 
 child. Barbary, Mary and Oscar are all three single and living at 
 home. 
 
 I have been engaged this last summer in building a memorial 
 church in memory of our Grandfather Moore. It is a beautiful 
 church; stands not far from where our grandfather was killed. I 
 would be glad if the immediate descendants of Mary Moore would 
 contribute each a small amount to the church, as I want the names of 
 all her children and grandchildren in our church Bible. 
 
 Enclosed you will find the heading of our church. Please get as 
 many names of our kindred as you conveniently can and send them 
 to me and I will enter them in our church Bible that they may be 
 seen many days hence. 
 
 We would be truly gratified if you would pay us a visit this sum- 
 mer and spend the summer with us. If you will and will let me 
 know, we will meet you at Pocahontas with a horse and saddle, and 
 take pleasure in taking you through the country and visiting your 
 kindred and friends. Please write on the receipt of this and let me 
 know. I think it highly probable that if you were here that some of 
 our good-looking boys would persuade you out of the notion of re- 
 maining in a state of single blessedness the balance of your life. 
 
 Well, my dear cousin, you must be tired reading my badly written 
 and scattering letter. I would be truly glad to see your uncles, Will- 
 iam and Samuel, as they are the only two now living. It has been 
 years since I saw them. Mournfully pleasing is the record of past 
 friendships and past joys, but ours is a world of change. Its name 
 is earth, and that explains the whole. I am looking forward with 
 pleasing anticipations when I will meet with many I have known 
 and loved upon earth, and there enjoy that hallowed friendship which 
 in this world meets with so many disappointments and changes.

 EOCKBEIDGE BATHS IN EOCKBEIDGE COUNTY, VA. 
 
 The Eockbridge Springs, or Thermal Spa, situated on a north 
 branch of the James Eiver, in Eockbridge County, Va., on the main 
 stage road, only eleven miles from Lexington, and the same distance 
 from the Goshen Depot, on the Virginia Central Eailroad, accessible 
 during the summer season by daily stage, may be justly ranked for 
 its known curative effects, and as a remedial means, among the medi- 
 cal mountains so distinguished in that state. They are situated in 
 a beautiful and charming little valley, bounded on the north and 
 south by cultivated uplands, with two miniature mountains, Bun- 
 comb and Marble, guarding its entrance on the east, while the surly 
 sisters, the Hogback and Jump Mountains, which form the Goshen 
 Pass, so celebrated for its wondrous scenery and fluvial strategy, re- 
 strict it on the west. The Valley of the Baths — such it is called — 
 two miles in width and two and one-half in length, is laid off into 
 small and well cultivated farms, interspersed with neat farm houses 
 and thickly settled by a population kind, hospitable, moral, indus- 
 trial and intelligent. The river traversing its entire length affords, 
 by its rapid descent, an unusual water power most inviting to enter- 
 prise and furnishes sites difficult to equal for manufacturing pur- 
 poses. A fine quarry of variegated marble, and almost inexhaustible 
 bank of concrete, rich iron ore, with traditions of silver and coal, 
 make up its mineral products. 
 
 The Valley of the Baths was once the favorite '^hunting ground" 
 of the proud and brave Cherokees, who, driven southward by the ad- 
 vance of civilization, nearly one hundred years afterwards contested, 
 with varied fortune, the prowess of the United States' forces amidst 
 the savannas of the South, and at last removed to other and better 
 hunting grounds beyond the Mississippi. While out on a hunt on 
 one occasion, the Cherokees ventured on what is now known as the 
 Little Calf Pasture, to which their neighbors, the Shawnees across 
 the mountain, claimed an exclusive privilege. They were ordered 
 off, and refusing to go, a fight ensued, in which the Shawnees were

 defeated. The Cherokees, being fewer in numbers, threw up a forti- 
 fication, still visible on the banks of the Calf Pasture, for their de- 
 fense, where they were besieged for several days. They retreated in 
 the dark and were pursued by the Shawnees until the mountain was 
 reached, where they made a stout defense, but were finally driven 
 through what is now known as Goshen Pass, and continued the fight 
 around the base of the mountain only to be renewed in a more san- 
 guinary form on the highlands of Walkers Creek. A desperate bat- 
 tle ensued and amidst the scene of carnage and death, far above the 
 noise of battle, its savage yells and death shouts, a wild shriek was 
 heard, and an apparation with streaming hair and outstretched arms 
 was seen flying through the air from the mountain summit, only to 
 disappear as mysteriously at its base. This strange and supernatural 
 sight was witnessed by the warriors below. They were awestruck; 
 their superstition was aroused : the fight ceased ; a council was called ; 
 the calumet was smoked ; the tomahawk was buried ; a peace was con- 
 cluded ; both parties believed that the Great Spirit was angry and had 
 hid his face under a cloud. From being enemies they became friends 
 and collected and buried their dead in one common mound near the 
 junction of Walker's and Hay's Creeks. This mound was remem- 
 bered by Captain James A. Walker as being forty feet in height, but 
 is gradually disappearing, being demolished by relic hunters. Before 
 the battle the Cherokees had sent their squaws and papooses some 
 distance to the rear, except a pretty Indian maiden, whose interest 
 in a young chief had induced her to climb the mountain and watch 
 the battle. In the hottest of the fight she beheld her chief fall by 
 the hand of a fierce Shawnee, and in a moment of despairing love with 
 one wild shriek, leaped from the mountain top into the abyss below, 
 following her favorite chief to better hunting grounds. From this 
 incident the mountain obtained the name of Jump. 
 
 The battle of Walker's Creek ended the war between the red men 
 in that section. The Shawnees occasionally harassed the settlers un- 
 til defeated by the colonial troops at Point Pleasant in October, 1774. 
 Forced to abandon their homes and driven across the Ohio, they erect- 
 ed their wigwams and dried their scalps on the banks of the "Big 
 Scioto.*' Their removal, however, did not exempt the valley from 
 predatory excursions. Led on by Black Wolf, a chief of unusual 
 strength and size, by battles, midnight murders, and burning houses, 
 attested their attachment for the homes of their fathers. Abb's Yal-

 ley was subject to one of these murdering and house-burning expedi- 
 tions in June, 1786. 
 
 The first settlers in this section were from the north of Ireland, 
 and the lineal descendants of those Scots who years before, for religi- 
 ous and political considerations, had fled to that country from the 
 misrule, persecutions and bloody wars of the Malcoms, Duncans and 
 Macbeths, whose deeds of wrong, injustice and just retribution have 
 been made immortal by the inspirations of the "Sweet Bard of 
 Avon." Finding a change of residence only a change of masters, they 
 sought by a second emigration a release from the presence and re- 
 straints of both, only again to be disappointed. Fleeing from Popery 
 in the old world to meet Episcopacy in the new. The Church of Eng- 
 land, established by colonial law, lost but little of its intolerance by 
 emigration. The Presbyterians, as determined to worship God ac- 
 cording to the Scottish or German confession among the hills of Vir- 
 ginia as on the highlands of Lammermoor or around the Irish cliffs 
 of Monah Vallah, built in 1745, near the present town of Browns- 
 burg, a church, and called it New Providence. The church was built 
 with great difficulty on account of the limited mechanical appliances 
 and resources. It was organized by the Eev. John Blair, in his last 
 visit to the valley in 1746. The Rev. John Brown was its first pastor 
 and continued his pastoral charge for more than forty years. 
 
 A man by the name of Hays, from eastern Virginia, was probably 
 the "Natty Bumpoo," or "Leatherstockings" — the first who hunted 
 and talked with the Indian — the first to settle here when, "like the 
 Lord of the Isle," his "rights there were none to dispute," and who 
 doubtless, at a later date, was connected with Borden's grant. A 
 creek on which he settled in Boekbridge is the only memorial of his 
 name. He was a grand-ancestor of Colonel Jack Hays, distinguished 
 in the Texan and Mexican wars, and of General Harry Hays, who 
 commanded a Louisiana brigade in the Confederate service. The 
 name of Hays, having been made historic in the three wars by the 
 brothers, the last resting place of their ancestors, is still remembered 
 and pointed out on the highlands of Walker's Creek. 
 
 John Walker of Wigton, Scotland, a descendant of the Ruther- 
 fords, first emigrated to Ireland, there becoming the head of a large 
 family, emigrated to Chester County, Pennsylvania, and soon after- 
 wards joined Hays in his frontier settlement in 1735, making the 
 
JOHN WALXEE. 
 
 469 
 
 second settler in that section. He settled near the Jump Mountain 
 on what has since borne the name of Walkers Creek. He was joined 
 shortly afterwards by his daughter, Mary, and his son-in-law, J ames 
 Moore, a young Irishman, who had emigrated to Pennsylvania in 
 1726. James Moore, the emigrant, was the father of the James 
 Moore so barbarously murdered by the Indians in Abb's Talley in 
 1786, and the grandfather of little Mary Moore, whose captivity and 
 imprisonment were of a character so horrid, the recitation of which 
 even now awakens our fullest sympathies. There is probably no one 
 of the frontier settlers of the Valley of Virginia, who has left more 
 numerous decendants, more highly respectable for character, moral 
 and religious, and for wealth and attainments, than John Walker, 
 of Wigton. 
 
 The above sketch was taken from a pamphlet published by Har- 
 nian and Mayo in 1868. 
 
 "An appendix to the old Scotch book called C A Cloud of Witnesses/

 at Leith, who transacted for them with Provost Milns, Laird of 
 Barnton, the man that first burnt the covenant, whereof 200 were 
 drowned by shipwreck at a place called the Mulehead of Darness, 
 near Orkney, being shut up by the said Paterson's orders beneath the 
 hatches; 50 escaped/* The following were a part of the 250, the

 TIMBER RIDGE CHURCH. 
 
 THE OLDEST SCOTCH-IRISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN ROCKBRIDGE. 
 
 Timber Ridge Church is about seven miles north of Lexington. 
 It is a place of historic interest to the Presbyterians of the Valley 
 of Virginia. It was here that Liberty Hall Academy was located, 
 from which sprang Washington College, now Washington and Lee 
 University, at Lexington. 
 
 It was in 1732 that the Scotch-Irish reached Augusta County, 
 which then included what now is Rockbridge, with a large extent of 
 territory both south and west. In 1749 a "mathematical and classi- 
 cal school" called Augusta Academy, was founded by these people 
 near the head waters of the Shenandoah. May 6, 1776, Hanover 
 Presbytery met at Timber Ridge and took this action : "The Presby- 
 tery finds that as the Augusta Academy is circumstanced, it is high- 
 ly necessary now to fix on the place for its situation and the person 
 by whom it shall be conducted, and as this congregation of Timber 
 Ridge appears to be a convenient place, and as they have a minister 
 whom we judge qualified, and Captain Alexander Stuart and Mr. 
 Samuel Houston each offering to give forty acres for the purpose, 
 convenient to the place of public worship, and the neighbors offering 
 to build a hewed log house, twenty-eight by twenty-four feet, one 
 story and a half high, beside their subscriptions, we agree that the 
 Augusta Academy shall be placed upon Timber Ridge upon those 
 lands, and we choose Mr. William Graham rector and Mr. John 
 Montgomery his assistant," 
 
 The Academy was subsequently removed to Lexington and has 
 now grown into a notable University, of which every Virginian is 
 justly proud. It was probably called Liberty Hall from the fact of 
 its being almost depopulated at the time of the Revolution, instruc- 
 tors and students almost to a man entering the ranks of Washington's 
 army. It is a matter of history that so few were left that Rev. Gra- 
 ham, with merely a handful of pupils too young for service, repaired 
 to his home, for study and recitation. Then at the outbreak of the 
 Civil War most of the students were organized into a military com- 
 pany called "The Liberty Hall Volunteers," under Captain J ames J. 
 White, one of the professors of the college. This company of brave 
 men participated in all of the battles of northern Virginia, winning 
 distinction, and sharing in all the triumphs of that splendid army. 
 Representatives of this noble race were to be found in every company

 lowing interesting account of some of the churches in that county : 
 
 "The two first buildings of a public kind which were erected were 
 the church or "meeting house," and the schoolhouse, where religion 
 and the elements of a sound and liberal education were taught, and 
 by the same instructors — Presbyterian clergymen. Those pious, 
 patient, laborious men, who brought to the wilderness the cultivation 
 and refinement of Europe, became the preceptors of little grammar 
 schools at their own houses, or in the immediate neighborhood, and 
 gave their pupils a thorough, if not an extensive, course of education. 
 In a word, these good men trained the youth of Augusta, taught them 
 to love their country and to honor their parents, and by their ex- 
 amples and admirable lessons sought to engage them more warmly 
 in the pursuit of virtue. The first of these teachers in Augusta was 
 Eev. J ohn Craig, who did not confine himself to penmanship, history 
 and mathematics, but in his course embraced a classical education. 
 And in the year 1749, the "Augusta Academy" was established, near 
 the present town of Lexington. In 1782, it was organized, by a 
 charter, as Liberty Hall Academy, and in 1796, George Washington 
 transferred to the institution a gift from the State of Virginia to him 
 for his services in the Eevolution of 100 shares of his James Elver 
 canal stock, and subsequently the Legislature made this amount 
 $50,000.00. The name was then changed to Washington Academy, 
 and, in 1813, to Washington College. From these beginnings sprang 
 Washington and Lee University, now one of the principal seats of 
 learning in the South, an institution in which the leading men of 
 Virginia have always manifested a deep interest. 
 
 In 1865, after the surrender of the Confederate army, General Lee 
 was appointed President of the University, and on his death, in 1870, 
 the name was changed from Washington College to Washington and 
 Lee University. Since, it has steadily increased in prosperity and 
 usefulness. 
 
 Tinkling Spring. — In the southern part of the settlement, on 
 the triple forks of the Shenandoah, near the present village of Fisher- 
 ville, the division of the congregation, known as Tinkling Spring, 
 worshipped. Staunton belonged, in its early days, to this congrega- 
 tion, and the founders, James Patton, John Preston, and the people of 
 
472 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Staunton generally, attended its services. The first building used for 
 worship was a log house, belonging to Preston, and Rev. John Craig 
 preached on alternate Sundays. "The members of this congregation 
 were distinguished," says Foote, "for the part they took in the Indian 
 wars, and furnished some of the leading military men in the border 
 wars/ 5 
 
 Shortly after Beverley's grant, a grant of 100,000 acres was made 
 to John Lewis and his associates, under the name of the "Greenbrier 
 Company." Much of this land was located on the Greenbrier River, 
 a name given to the stream by Colonel Lewis. 
 
 Mr. McCue has been succeeded at Tinkling Spring by the follow- 
 ing : Revs. James Wilson, until 1840 ; B. M. Smith, D. D. ; Robert 
 L. Dabney, D. D., the distinguished author and theologian; C. S. M. 
 See, and Givens B. Striekler, the present pastor. 
 
 The Rev. John Blair, during his visit to Virginia in 1746, formed 
 four congregations, embracing the whole width of the Valley, from 
 a little south of Staunton to some distance south of Lexington. The 
 congregations were those of the "Forks of the James," Timber Ridge, 
 now in Rockbridge, New Providence, and North Mountain. Timber 
 Ridge and New Providence alone remain. In the place of North 
 Mountain there are two congregations, Bethel and Hebron. 
 
 Bethel Church was first built about 1772, principally through the 
 exertions of Colonel Doake, a few steps from the site of the present 
 brick church, about ten miles south of Staunton, and about midway 
 between the Greenville and Middlebrook roads, leading from Staun- 
 ton to Lexington. The first minister was Mr. Charles Cummings, 
 who received a call in 1766, and served till 1772. He was followed 
 by Mr. Archibald Scott, who discharged his duties for over twenty 
 years, with great zeal and fidelity, and dying in March, 1799, was 
 followed, after a vacancy of some years, by Rev. William McPheeters, 
 D. D., a native of Augusta, who was educated in Staunton and at 
 Liberty Hall, Rockbridge. He took charge of Bethel in 1805. In 
 1810, Mr. McPheeters removed to Raleigh, N. C, where he died in 
 1842. His successors have been Revs. Chapman, D. D. (we believe), 
 Francis McFarland, D. D., who resigned and went to Philadelphia, 
 when Rev. Alex. B. McCorkle took his place. 
 
 Hebron Church, which was anciently called "Brown's Meeting 
 House," is situated about four miles west of Staunton, in the midst 
 of much attractive scenery. The original church, under the name of 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 North Mountain, was organized by Dr. John Blair on his visit to Vir- 
 ginia in 1746, and within the bonnds of that congregation there are 
 now Bethel, Shemeriah and Hebron. 
 
 Mossy Creek congregation was originally a part of the Augusta 
 church, but about the year 1767, became a separate organization up- 
 on the request of John Davis and Mr. Makarnie, They were stoutly 
 opposed by Rev. John Craig, who said he could "do all the preaching 
 that was needed between the mountains. " 
 
 Union Church was organized Feb. 17, 1817, Rev. Conrad Speece 
 preaching upon the occasion. The ruling elders were Thos. Hogs- 
 head, F. Gilkerson, D. Hogshead and James Irvine. In 1818, Rev. 
 John Hendren was regularly installed as pastor, and his pastorate 
 extended until 1855. He was succeeded by Rev. R, C. Walker, who 
 was installed in 1857, and served until 18? 7, when he resigned, and 
 for two years Revs. A. S. Maffett and I. X. Campbell preached as 
 supplies. In 1879, Mr. Campbell was installed- as pastor, and is at 
 present in charge. 
 
 These citizen-soldiers were men hardened by exercise and toil. 
 Their bodies seemed inaccessible to disease or pain. War was their 
 element. They sported with danger, and met death with composure. 
 To such men the colony of Augusta, the State of Virginia, and the 
 Republic of the United States, owe their present greatness. They 
 remind us of the founders of Rome, of whom Cato, the elder, said to 
 the Roman Senate : "Think not it was merely by force of arms that 
 our forefathers raised this republic from a low condition to its pres- 
 ent greatness. Xo ! by things of a very different nature — industry 
 and discipline at home, abstinence and justice abroad, a disinterested 
 spirit in council, unblinded by passion and unbiassed by pleasure/*'' 
 
 AUGUSTA COUNTY. 
 
 "The Count}' of Augusta was ushered into existence the 12th year 
 of the reign of George II, as one of the shires of the colony of Vir- 
 ginia. Xo reason appears in the act establishing the county for the 
 name, but it is believed to have been selected in honor of the Princess 
 Augusta, wife of Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, and daughter of 
 Frederick II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha. Frederick Count}- was created 
 at the same time, and it is said, with good reason, to have derived its 
 name from the Prince of Wales himself. The act establishing these 
 two counties was passed Xov. 1, 1738.

 The "utmost limits of Virginia/' as expressed in this act for the 
 western boundary of Augusta County, was the Mississippi Kiver, be- 
 yond which were situated the French possessions known as Louisiana. 
 This region was explored by the French in 1512, and partly colonized 
 by them in 1699. In the year 1717 it was granted by the Crown to 
 the Mississippi Company, but three years later was resumed by the 
 Crown, and in 1763 was ceded to Spain, but was recovered by Napol- 
 eon in 1800. New Orleans was the southern and St. Louis the north- 
 ern capital of these vast territories. The French claimed that their 
 possessions extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Lawrence, a 
 claim that ignored the rights of English colonists to any portion of 
 the western territory, or country lying beyond the Ohio Eiver. In 
 support of their pretensions, the French erected forts and blockhouses 
 at intervals from the great lakes through the western part of Penn- 
 sylvania to the Ohio, then along the banks of that stream to its junc- 
 tion with the Mississippi, whence their chain of military posts fol- 
 lowed the course of the latter river to its mouth. The English colon- 
 ists, more particularly the people of Augusta, found themselves hem- 
 med in by these proceedings of the French, and all expansion west- 
 ward prevented. A conflict, then, between the two races, the French 
 and the English colonists of Augusta, Pennsylvania and New York, 
 was, under these circumstances, sooner or later, inevitable. A con- 
 flict in fact took place as early as 1753, on the banks of the Ohio, be- 
 tween some English settlers and the garrison of one of the forts al- 
 ready referred to. Both parties hastened to lay the story of their in- 
 juries before their respective governments. The consequence was a 
 long and sanguinary war between England and France, in which 
 half of Europe became involved. 
 
 The superior numbers and indomitable resolution of the Anglo- 
 Saxon prevailed in the end, with France retaining Louisiana, then a 
 vast territory. Under this act Augusta embraced the territory now 
 known as West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi- 
 gan, and part of Pennsylvania. This region being the scene of the 
 French and Indian Wars, and the wars of 1764, 1774. 
 
 All the events occurring in this region from the first settlement of 
 Augusta had more or less influence upon the fortunes of the people 
 of the Valley. 
 
 At the period, 1716, of Colonel Spotswood's discovery of the Val- 
 ley, it was the camping, hunting ground or residence of numerous 
 tribes of Indians. 
 
JOHN "WALKER.

 The Shawnees, the most considerable of the Algonquin tribes, had 
 their principal villages east of the Alleghanies, near the present town 
 of Winchester, but their possessions extended west to the Mississippi 
 Biver. Foote asserts (Second Series, p. 159) that the Shawnees own- 
 ed the whole Valley of Virginia, but had abandoned it. He gives no 
 authority for the statement, and we have found none in our research- 
 es. Of all the Indian tribes with whom our ancestors came in con- 
 tact, the Shawnees were the most bloody and terrible, holding all 
 other men, Indians as well as whites, in contempt as warriors in com- 
 parison with themselves. This estimate of themselves made them 
 more restless and fierce than any other savages, and they boasted that 
 they had killed ten times as many white people as any other Indians. 
 They were a well formed, active and ingenious people, capable of en- 
 during great privations and hardships; were assuming and imperious 
 in the presence of others not of their own nation, and sometimes very 
 cruel. 
 
 That portion of the Valley now embraced within the County of 
 Augusta, is not known to have been the home or fixed residence of 
 any tribe of Indians at the period of its settlement, nor is it known 
 that it was not the home of some tribe or branch of a tribe. Such 
 red men as Lewis met on entering Augusta, in 1732, were friendly, 
 and so continued for over twenty years. 
 
 The Valley of Virginia was in 1716, when visited by Spots wood, 
 without extensive forests, but the margins of streams were fringed 
 with trees ; there were pretty woodlands in the low grounds, and the 
 mountain sides were densely covered with timber trees. The wood 
 destroyed by Autumnal fires was replaced by a luxuriant growth of 
 blue grass, white clover and other natural grasses and herbage. The 
 spontaneous productions of the earth were everywhere numerous and 
 abundant, and there were many varieties of game and wild animals. 
 
 The absence of trees in an extensive quarter of the county north- 
 west of Staunton led our ancestors to style it "The Barrens," a name 
 that it still bears, though it is interspersed at this time by handsome 
 woodlands, the growth of the last eighty years. 
 
 The execution of Charles I, in 1649, filled Virginians with horror 
 and indignation, and the well known sympathy of Virginia with the 
 unhapp} 7 "King drew many exiled cavaliers to America, The Govern- 
 or invited Charles II to come to and be King of Virginia, but on the 
 eve of his embarking from Holland for Virginia, in 1660, he was 
 recalled to the throne of England. After he ascended the throne, 
 
476 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Charles II, desirous of giving a substantial proof of the profound 
 respect he entertained for the loyalty of Virginia, caused her arms 
 to be quartered with those of England, Ireland and Scotland, as an 
 independent member of the Empire. This fact, and because Virginia 
 was the first of the English settlements in the limits of the British 
 colonies, led to her being styled "The Old Dominion/' 
 
 In 1710, Alexander Spotswood became Governor. He was an ac- 
 complished and enterprising man — the best of the eighteenth century 
 Governors. He thus describes in his day the state of affairs in Vir- 
 ginia: "This government is," says he, "in perfect peace and tran- 
 quility, under a due obedience to the Royal authority, and a gentle- 
 manly conformity to the Church of England." 
 
 In 1723, Spotswood was succeeded by Sir Hugh Drysdale, and he, 
 in 1727, by William Gooch, who, during his term, commanded the 
 expedition against Carthagena. This expedition was the most im- 
 portant event of Gooch's administration, as, taken in connection with 
 the other colonies, it was another step in the development of union. 
 
 Gooch was a man of firmness and moderation, and ruled Vir- 
 ginia for twenty-two years much to the satisfaction of the people. 
 During his time, wealth and population increased, printing was in- 
 troduced, education became diffused, and its improving effects were 
 felt by all. 
 
 From these matters of colonial history so briefly recapitulated, the 
 reader will understand the causes of the subsequent conflicts between 
 the French and English colonists, the progress of the colony of Vir- 
 ginia, and its actual condition in 1716, when the Valley was discov- 
 ered, and became a few years later the seat of an English settlement. 
 
 The first passage of the Blue Ridge, or discovery of the Valley, was 
 effected by Spotswood at the head of a troop of horse in August, 1716. 
 The party consisted of about fifty persons, who had a large number 
 of riding and pack horses, an abundant supply of provisions, and an 
 extraordinary variety of liquors. The expedition proceeded from 
 Williamsburg by Chelsea, King William County, to Beverly's in the 
 County of Middlesex, where the Governor left his chaise and con- 
 tinued on horseback to Germanna. There, on the 26th of August, he 
 was joined by the rest of the party, among whom were four Meherrin 
 Indians and two small companies of rangers. The party marched 
 thence to Todd's, on Mountain Run, then to the Rappahannock, 
 which they crossed at Somerville's ford, thence by the left bank to 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 near Peyton's ford, on the Rapidan. Here they turned south, re- 
 crossed the river, and proceeded to where Stanardsville now stands ; 
 thence through Swift Bun Gap to the Valley, crossing the Shenan- 
 doah River at a point about ten miles north of the present town of 
 Port Republic. The popular belief, down to Bishop Meade's time, 
 that the party had reached the Valley by Rockfish Gap is thus shown 
 to have been a popular error. 
 
 Then, in 1732, sixteen families from Pennsylvania crossed the 
 Potomac and settled near the present town of Winchester." 
 
 The above account of the formation and development of Augusta 
 County was condensed from Peyton's History of that County. 
 
 Augusta County was well represented at the Battle of Great Mea- 
 dows. "In Braddock's ill-starred defeat in 1755 the backwoods rifle- 
 men of Augusta, under the eye of Washington were most formidable 
 in staying the sad fortunes of that fatal day." In 1756 a most for- 
 midable force marched from this county to invade the Shawnee 
 country. And in 1760 Colonel Boquet led a successful expedition 
 from here, and all through the struggle known as "Pontiac's War/' 
 then again at the time of the troubles with the Cherokees, company 
 after company went from Augusta. 
 
 Point Pleasant also witnessed a desperate struggle in 1774, result- 
 ing in a complete overthrow of their dusky foes by these hardy forest 
 warriors. It is to be regretted, however, that the brave Cornstalk was 
 destined to meet such a tragic death at the hands of those whom he 
 came to succor not long after his hard fought battle at Mount Pleas- 
 ant. It is believed that in point of time, the very first paper present-" 
 ed to the Continental Congress, distinctly proposing separation from 
 Great Britain was one from the people of Augusta. 
 
 On the fields of Guilford and Cowpens some organized companies 
 from the Virginia Valley were engaged and bore the brunt of battle 
 like veterans. 
 
 Then the memorable battle of Kings Mountain was won by men 
 of this same stock. It is probable that nearly all that engaged in that 
 action were immediate descendants of Scotch-Irish settlers. The 
 gallant leaders, Shelby and Sevier, were born and reared in Augusta, 
 and General William Campbell, their chief commander, wore upon 
 the field at this battle the same trusty sword his grandfather bore in 
 the Highlands of Scotland.

 bears date of May 8, 1772, and is entitled "The Petition of William

 Many of our family emigrated to what is now Kentucky, and set- 
 tled in various counties of this state. Campbell County received its 
 name in honor of Colonel John W. Campbell (No. 21), who came to 
 Kentucky at an early period. Having received a grant of 4000 acres 
 of land from the commonwealth of Virginia, which was located im- 
 mediately below and adjoining the grant on which Louisville stands, 
 he became an extensive landed proprietor, and a very wealthy man. 
 He was a member of the Convention which formed the first constitu- 
 tion of Kentucky. During the same year he was elected one of the 
 electors of the Senate, and in the electoral College was chosen the 
 Senator from Jefferson County. He never married. His estate at 
 his death passed into the hands of many heirs. His nephew, John 
 Poage Campbell (No. 24), was the author of many religious works. 
 
 Lincoln County, Ky., was set off in 1780. Its first court was held

 court, and to be commissioned at any court of Oyer and Terminer 
 for the trial of slaves, viz. : Benjamin Logan, John Logan, John 
 Cowen, and ten others. 
 
 It was probable at this time also that John Logan was appointed 
 Lieutenant-Colonel of the Lincoln County Militia. — Collins' History

 We also find the names, George Walker, who was a Senator in Con- 
 gress from Kentucky in 1814-15, and David Walker, a representative 
 in Congress from Kentucky, 1817-20. 
 
 Palmer s Calendar of Virginia State Papers gives some fragment- 
 ary history of Virginia in the Eevolution. 
 
 "In January, 1781, a British force under Benedict Arnold invaded 
 Virginia. They sailed up James Eiver, entered Kichmond without 
 resistance on Jan. 5, destroyed all the public stores there, and some 
 private property. In the meantime the militia had been called out 
 by Gov. Jeiferson, Baron Steuben being at the head of the state 
 troops. Several hundred men from Augusta served in lower Vir- 
 ginia at that time. There is no other record of the fact that we 
 know of. Sampson Matthews of Staunton was Colonel of militia in 
 Augusta, and on the 13th wrote to the Governor that, in accordance 
 with orders, he would start to Fredericksburg early the next morn- 
 ing with about 250 men. The men of the second battallion were then 
 on their way, and also the militia from Eockbridge and Eockingham. 
 Major Posey, of the 1st regiment of the line, a recruiting officer at 
 Staunton, was to go with Colonel Matthews. His men would take 
 some of the beef cattle from Augusta, as ordered. On Jan. 21 Col- 
 onel Matthews wrote the Governor from Bowling Green that Colonel 
 John Bowyer with about 220 men from Eockbridge joined him there. 
 
 General Greene being hard pressed by Cornwallis, it seems to have 
 been proposed to send the militia already in the field to North Caro- 
 lina. In reference to this matter, Baron Steuben wrote to the Gov- 
 ernor on Feb. 15. He agreed with the Governor that "the militia of 
 Eockbridge, Augusta, Eockingham and Shenandoah would be the 
 most speedy reinforcement to General Greene, but they must be first 
 relieved by others. As far as it appears, the regiment or battallion 
 
480 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 under Matthews was not ordered to North Carolina, but other com- 
 panies went from the Valley under Tate, Moffett, &c. 
 
 Major Thomas Posey, recruiting for the regular army at Staun- 
 ton, wrote the Governor March 27, 1781, that according to Baron 
 Steuben's orders he could not enlist men under 5 feet 4 inches. There 
 were men well adapted to military service who did not reach that 
 standard, and he asked for discretionary powers in such cases. 
 
 Colonel Win. Preston wrote in April, 1781, in reference to a call 
 for troops, that "nearly one-half of our militia are disaffected, and 
 cannot be drawn into service. Moreover, the frontier of the county 
 was exposed to depredations by the Indians, and the men could not 
 join Greene's army without leaving their families exposed, &c." 
 
 On April 20th, Colonel Samuel McDowell of Eockbridge wrote to 
 the Governor that a draft was ordered to take place on the 26th, but 
 the men drawn would be ruined. Most of them were in service in the 
 fall of 1780, when Lesley invaded the state, and were prevented from 
 sowing fall crops, and to go now would prevent their raising spring 
 crops. With few exceptions they would leave no one at home to work 
 their farms. This county had in October last, Captain James Gil- 
 mer (Gilmore) and forty odd men in Carolina, under General Mor- 
 gan, for near four months, and was at Tarleton's defeat at the Cow 
 Pens in South Carolina. And there were also three companies 
 drawn when Lesley invaded the state; their numbers were about 180 
 men. On Arnold's invasion, Colonel John Bowyer marched with 
 about 200 men down the country; and when Greene retreated into 
 Virginia, I marched near 200 men from this county to join Greene. 
 I with difficulty persuaded the men to cross the Dan into Carolina. 
 We joined Greene some time before the battle of Guilford Court- 
 house; continued with him till after the battle. The 15th of March 
 last, had 1 captain, 4 privates killed ; 2 captains, 1 ensign and 7 pri- 
 vates wounded, and Major Stuart and 4 privates taken prisoners. 
 From these different calls all the men in this county have been on 
 hard service, each a term, since October last, and nearly two-thirds 
 of them at the same time. 
 
 Stephen Southall, Quartermaster, had 280 barrels of powder and 
 other army supplies stored at Staunton on the 9th of June, 1781. 
 
 Colonel Febiger wrote from camp, June 30, 1781, to Colonel 
 Davies at Staunton, "that the men were literally naked, shirts and 
 blankets excepted; unless supplied they would be compelled to quit

 the field. There was not more than 20 pairs of good shoes in the 
 regiment." 
 
 One-fourth of the Augusta militia were called out by order of July 
 25, and marched on the 8th of August to lower Virginia and York- 
 town, as appears from a letter written by Colonel Matthews Sept. 4th. 
 
 Several calls for troops were made in the beginning of the year 
 1782, which were not responded to on account of Indian invasions 
 on the frontier. On May 7, 1783, Colonel Moffett wrote the Gov- 
 ernor about Indian depredations "nigh ye head of greenbrier." Sev- 
 eral persons had been killed. He had ordered spies to be sent out, etc. 
 
 William Bowyer, sheriff of Augusta, wrote to the Governor Oct. 
 15, 1784, begging indulgence for delinquency. He could not collect 
 the public revenue. The condition of the people was distressed, and 
 hard money was scarce, and products unsalable. 
 
 On a certain day the petition of Michael Coalter, a soldier in Cap- 
 tain McDowell's Company, for additional pay for services as a car- 
 penter, was presented and allowed; and on another day the petition 
 of John Lyle, a Lieutenant in McDowell's Company in the expedi- 
 tion against the Shawnees, was presented. He was probably the per- 
 son known as Eev. John Lyle of Hampshire County, who, according 
 to Foote, was at the battle of Point Pleasant. He was a Commissary, 
 detailed to assist Sampson Matthews, "a master drover of cattle." 
 The subsistence of the troops consisted mainly of cattle driven afoot. 
 Michael Coalter was the father of Judge John Coalter. — Supplement 
 to WaddeVs Annals of Augusta County, Va. 
 
 The following interesting items were found in WaddeVs Annals of 
 Augusta County: 
 
 The Rev. Hugh McAden, a young Presbyterian minister, went 
 from Pennsylvania to North Carolina on horseback in 1755. He 
 kept a diary of his trip, a copy of which is in "Foote's Sketches of 
 North Carolina." It appears from the diary that an excessive 
 drought prevailed in the country during that summer. 
 
 On Thursday, June 19, Mr. McArden set off up the Valley of the 
 Shenandoah, of which he says : "Alone in the wilderness ; sometimes 
 a house in ten miles, and sometimes not that." 
 
 On Friday night (20th) he lodged at a Mr. Shankland's, twenty 
 miles from Augusta Courthouse. On Saturday he stopped at a Mr. 
 Poages. "Stayed for dinner, the first I had eaten since I left Penn- 
 sylvania." From Staunton he went with Hugh Kelso to Samuel

 Downey's, at the North Mountain, where he preached on the fourth 
 Sabbath of June, according to appointment. His horse being sick, 
 or lame, he was detained in the county, and preached at North Moun- 
 tain again on the fifth Sabbath in June, and in "the new courthouse" 
 on the first Sunday in July. The diary says, "Eode to Widow Pres- 
 ton's Saturday evening, where I was very kindly entertained, and had 
 a commodious lodging." The lady referred to was the widow of John 
 Preston, and lived at Spring Farm, now Staunton Water Works. 
 
 The first session of County Court of Eockbridge was held April 
 7, 1778, at the house of Samuel Wallace. The justices presiding 
 were John Bowyer, Samuel McDowell, Charles Campbell, Samuel 
 Lyle and Alexander Stuart, Alexander Stuart was, at this time, 
 qualified as Major. Captain David Stuart acted as Commissary dur- 
 ing the Eevolution. 
 
 At April court, 1782, Archibald Stuart was recommended to the 
 Governor as "deputy attorney for the state." 
 
 From the books of the commissioners of the revenue for the year 
 1800, we obtain some interesting facts. The number of tithables in 
 the county, including Staunton, was 3236. The number of horses 
 was 6088. The cattle were not listed. Four-wheeled riding carriages 
 were taxed, but gigs were not; and the number of the former in the 
 county was exactly two, viz. : Thomas Martin's "stage," and Archi- 
 bald Stuart's "chariot." The total tax was $1,557.78. 
 
 About the year 1748 the Presbyterians began to hold service in a 
 meeting house two miles northwest of Midway, or Steel's tavern. 
 They called the place "Providence," probably after a church in Penn- 
 sylvania ; but in the course of time it was called "Old Providence," 
 to distinguish it from New Providence in Eockbridge. In or about 
 1765, the population on Walkers Creek, Eockbridge, having increas- 
 ed, and the membership being chiefly in that neighborhood, Old 
 Providence was abandoned as a place of worship. When the schism 
 occurred at New Providence in 1789 or 1790 on account of psalmody, 
 a portion of the congregation reopened the Old Providence meeting 
 house, and it became an Associate Eeformed, or "Seceder" Presby- 
 terian Church. They built a strong church in 1793, which still 
 stands, but is disused, a brick church, built in 1859-1860, having 
 taken its place. The Eev. Horatio Thompson, D. D., was pastor of 
 Old Providence for many years.

 defenders of Londonderry. He lived to be over one hundred years old. 
 
 In the spring of 1736. Benjamin Borden (Burden), the agent of 
 Lord Fairfax, came tip from Williamsburg, by invitation, on a visit 
 to John Lewis. He took with him. on his return, a buffalo calf, 
 which he presented to Governor Gooch, and in other ways ingratiated 
 himself with the Governor, so as to receive a large tract of land south 
 of Beverly Manor. The first settlers in Borden's grant were Ephraim 
 McDowell and family. His daughter. Mary Greenlee, related in a 
 deposition taken in 1806, and still extant, the circumstances under 
 which her father went there. Her brother, James McDowell, had 
 come up into Beverly Manor during the spring of 1736, and planted 
 a crop of corn near Wood's Gap: and in the fall her father, a very 
 old man, her brother John, and her husband and herself came up to 
 join the settlement. Before they reached their destination, and after 
 they had arranged their camp on a certain evening, Borden came up 
 and asked permission to spend the night with them. He informed 
 them of his grant, and offered them inducements to go there. The 
 next day they came on to the house of John Lewis, and there it was 
 finally agreed that the party should settle in Borden's tract. 
 
 As early as IT 31, Michael Woods, an Irishman, with three sons, 
 and three son-in-laws, came up the Valley and pushed his way 
 through Wood's Gap, and settled on the eastern side of the Blue 
 Bidge. 
 
 At an early day the people living on the east side of the Blue Bidge 
 were called Tuckahoes, from a small stream of that name it is said, 
 while the people on the west side were denominated as Cohees, as 
 tradition says, from their common use of the term "'Quoth he"' or 
 "Quo ? he," for "said he." 
 
 The first deed recorded in Augusta County, dated December 9, 
 1745, was from Andrew Pickens to William McPheeters, and con- 
 veyed twelve and one-half acres of land in consideration of five 
 shillings. 
 
 The Count}* Court of Augusta did not meet in October, IT 61. At 
 April Court, IT 65, a vast number of military claims were ordered to 
 be certified — for provisions furnished to the militia, for horses press- 
 ed into service, etc. William Christian, William McKamy, and 
 others, presented claims "for ranging,"' and Andrew McCown "'for 
 enlisting men to garrison Fort Nelson." The orders are curt and 
 unsatisfactory, giving no clue as to when and where the services were 
 performed.

 By January Court, 1775, the men who were in the expedition had 
 gotten up their accounts against the government for pecuniary com- 
 pensation. John Hays demanded pay for himself and others as 
 "pack-horse masters." William Hamilton had a bill for riding ex- 
 press, and William McCune another as "cow-herd." 
 
 The Courts Martial Eecord Book gives the names of the captains of 
 militia in 1756, among whose names we find Captain James Allen. 
 Captain James Allen was one of the first elders of the stone church. 
 One of his daughters married Captain James Trimble, and removed 
 with her husband to Kentucky after the Revolutionary War. She 
 was the mother of Governor Allen Trimble, of Ohio, and the late 
 Mrs. James A. McCue, of Augusta, the mother of Major J. M. Mc- 
 Cue. Another daughter of Captain Allen married the Rev. John 
 McCue, the father of Mr. James A. McCue and others. Captain 
 Allen's company, in 1756, consisted of sixty-eight men, and was 
 composed of Walkers, Turks, Kerrs, Robertsons, Bells, Crawfords, 
 Givenses, Craigs, Pattersons, Poages, and others. 
 
 SAMUEL McDowell was the son of John McDowell, who was born 
 in 1733 and who was killed by the Indians, near the forks of James 
 River, in 1742. In 1733 he was a member of the House of Burgesses, 
 and in 1775-6, he and Thomas Lewis represented Augusta in the 
 State Convention. At the close of the Revolutionary War he removed 
 to Kentucky, and died there in 1817, aged eighty-four. 
 
 The wife of Judge Samuel McDowell was Mary McClung. Her 
 brother, John, was the father of Wm. McClung, who removed to 
 Kentucky and became a Judge of considerable distinction. He died 
 in 1815. His wife was a sister of Chief Justice Marshall, and his 
 sons, Colonel Alexander K. McClung and the Rev. John A. McClung, 
 D. D., were highly distinguished. A brother of Judge McClung, the 
 late Mr. Joseph McClung, lived and died on Timber Ridge. 
 
 Although the trustees of the Staunton Academy were incorporated 
 in 1792, their school house seems not to have been completed until 
 about 1810. Judge Stuart gave the lot. A part of the funds em- 
 ployed was raised by general subscription in the county, and a part 
 was donated by the state out of proceeds of sale of glebe lands. 
 
 Alexander H. H. Stuart, of Staunton, was called to the cabinet of 
 President Fillmore in 1850, as Secretary of the Interior.

 petitor, James McDowell, of Rockbridge. The preliminary canvass 
 was noted for the ability and dignity with which it was conducted by 
 the candidates. It is a little remarkable that only two citizens of 
 Augusta, Jacob Swoope and Alexander H. H. Stuart, have ever sat 
 in Congress, and they only for one term each, notwithstanding many 
 eminent men have resided here from the earliest period in the history 
 of the county.

 pany), William Ashford and John Shannon. The men were drawn

 was seventy-one, including Corporals. 
 
 Lieutenant James Todd; and Sergeants, William Lacosts, Will-

 the rank and file numbered seventy-two, and they were from the

 complement of officers is not explained. A note on the company pay- 
 roll says : "Most of these names appear on other pay rolls of the Fly- 
 ing Camp." 
 
 During the war of the Revolution when the Augusta companies 
 were about to start from Midway, the latter part of February, the 
 Rev. J ames Waddell, of Tinkling Spring, delivered a parting address 
 to the men. Many of them never returned. Captain Tate and a 
 large number of private soldiers were killed at Guilford on March 
 15. Some who came back carried on their persons ever afterwards 
 the marks of British sabres. 
 
 Archibald Stuart, afterwards the Judge, was a commissary, but 
 fought in the ranks at Guilford. His father, Major Alexander 
 Stuart, who commanded the Augusta and Rockbridge Battallion 
 (Colonel McDowell being disabled by sickness), was captured. His 
 sword, a somewhat uncouth weapon, presumably of local manufac- 
 ture, was some years ago presented by his grandson, Hon. Alexander 
 H. H. Stuart, to the Virginia Historical Society, of which the latter 
 is president. The sword is without scabbard, that having been lost 
 during the late war between the states, in hiding the weapon from 
 Federal invaders.

 Among the militiamen from Rockbridge was Samuel Houston, 
 for many years afterward a highly esteemed Presbyterian minister. 
 He was twenty-three years of age, and a student of divinity when the 
 call came for the militia to go to the assistance of General Greene, 
 who was hard pressed by the British under Cornwallis. Laying aside 
 his books he fell into the ranks of the Rockbridge company, and had 
 Archibald Stuart, afterward the Judge, as his messmate. 
 
 Mr. Houston kept a diary of the trip, writing every day except one, 
 from his departure till his return, which is published in full in the 
 Second Series of Footers Sketches of Virginia. It is provoking for 
 its brevity and omission of much that would now be interesting, but 
 contains some items worth reproducing. 
 
 The Rockbridge company marched from Lexington to Grigsby's 
 on Monday, February 26th. The next day they marched fifteen 
 miles, and encamped at Purgatory, near Buchanan, in Botetourt 
 County. 
 
 Apparently, the command was in no hurry to reach the enemy. 
 Imagine Stonewall Jackson marching fifteen miles one day and 
 twelve the next, while on his way to reinforce General Lee ! On Sab- 
 bath, March the 4th, however, the day's march was twenty miles to 
 a point beyond New London. This day "we pressed a hog, which 
 was served without scraping." The word "pressed," so familiar to 
 Confederate soldiers, is therefore as old as the Revolution. 
 
 The night of the 4th was spent at a Major Ward's, and on the next 
 day the command crossed Staunton River, into Pittsylvania, and 
 marched eight miles. On the 6th they advanced fourteen miles, when 
 Major Ward overtook them, with a complaint that some of his per- 
 sonal property had disappeared. "We were searched," says the diary, 
 "and Mr. Ward's goods found with James Berry and John Harris, 
 who were whipped. The same were condemned to ten lashes for dis- 
 obeying the officer of the day on Monday." Harris deserted on the 
 7th, and Berry was arrested and sent to prison. 
 
 The Dan River was crossed on the 8th. "At this river some mean 
 cowards threatened to return. This morning (the 9th) Lyle, Hays 
 and Lusk went to General Greene and returned. The same day de- 
 serted George Culwell." 
 
 The headquarters of General Greene's army was reached Saturday 
 night, the 10th, and the Battle of Guilford was fought on Thursday,

 March 15th. Colonel McDowell's batrallion of Augusta and Bock- 
 bridge militia composed a part of General Stephens brigade. The 
 men were ordered to "take trees," which they did with alacrity, many, 
 however, crowding to one tree. The close firing began near the cen- 
 ter, but soon extended along the line. During the battle, which lasted 
 two hours and twenty-five minutes, Mr. Houston discharged his rifle 
 fourteen times. He says, "our Brigade Major, Mr. Williams, fled.' 5 
 For some time the militia displayed great bravery ; they repulsed the 
 enemy several times, and after advancing fell back, when compelled, 
 in good order. Finally they were assailed by the British light horse, 
 "were obliged to run. and many were sore chased and some were cut 
 down." Major Stuart was captured and Captain Tate killed. Eight 
 or ten married married men of the Bethel Church neighborhood were 
 among the slain. The men "all scattered/' but soon came together, 
 and with Captain Moffett and other officers retreated fourteen miles. 
 The following night, through darkness and rain and want of pro- 
 visions, we were in distress. Some parched a little corn." 
 
 Early in the morning of the 16th, the men were "'decamped, and 
 marched through the rain till we arrived at Speedwell furnace, where 
 Greene had retreated from Guilford town."' There "we met many of 
 our company with great joy, particularly Colonel McDowell. 99 Other 
 men given up for lost also came in. In the evening "orders were read 
 to draw provisions and ammunition, to be in readiness, which struck 
 a panic on the minds of many." 
 
 The next day the men discussed the matter of returning home, 
 pleading warn of blankets and clothing. "Many went off ; a few were 
 remaining when General Lawson came and raged very much : and 
 about ten o'clock all but McDowell came off.'*' 
 
 Dan Eiver was recrossed on the 18th. "A little afterward many 
 went to a tavern, where some got drunk and quarreled/ 5 On the 21st 
 "we paid Murphy one dollar a man for horses to carry us over Goose 
 Creek.'' On the 22nd "my brother and I hired Mr. Bountree's horses, 
 and his son came with us to Mr. Lambert's, when, after he received 
 forty-three dollars, he returned. We ate with Mr. Lambert and paid 
 him ten dollars each. I bought five books from him and paid him 
 four hundred and twelve dollars and a half. We crossed the moun- 
 tains, and in the valley saw the wonderful mill without wheels, doors 
 or floors." On Friday, March 23, 1781, Mr. Houston arrived at his 
 brother William's, and there the diary ended.

 We are accustomed to think of the men of the Revolutionary period 
 as all heroes panting for the fray, and patriots ready to make any sac- 
 rifice for the cause of their country. Here we see they were very much 
 like other people. The men who composed Colonel McDowell's bat- 
 talion were, most of them, worthy citizens, of fully average courage 
 and public spirit. But they were hastily levied, untrained, and easily 
 demoralized. However brave each man might be, he could not rely 
 with certainty on the support of his neighbors in the ranks, and there- 
 fore provided for his own safety according to his best judgment. So 
 raw militia have nearly always acted, and nearly always will. 
 
 ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY. 
 
 From Henry Howe's History of Virginia (Published in 1846). 
 
 Rockbridge County derives its name from the celebrated natural 
 bridge. It was formed in 1778, from Augusta and Botetourt. First 
 settlements in that portion of the "Valley" were made by the Scotch- 
 Irish, with a few original Scotch among them. Rockbridge and Au- 
 gusta have always been the strongholds of Scotch-Irish and Presby- 
 terianism. In the spring of 1736 John Lewis, one of the enterprising- 
 men of the "Valley," met Benjamin Burden, who had lately come 
 over as agent for Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the Northern Neck. 
 Burden accepted Lewis' invitation to accompany him to his new home 
 in the "Valley." He spent several months with his friend, exploring 
 the country and hunting the buffalo, with Lewis and his sons, Samuel 
 and Andrew. The party happened once to take a young buffalo calf, 
 which Samuel and Andrew Lewis gave to Burden to take with him 
 to Williamsburg. This sort of an animal was unknown in lower Vir- 
 ginia. Burden presented the shaggy young monster to Governor 
 Gooch. The Governor was so delighted with this rare pet, and so 
 pleased with the donor, that he readily acceded to Burden's request 
 for a grant of land. 
 
 The grant was for 500,000 acres of land or any less quantity, on 
 the waters of the Shenandoah and James Rivers, on condition that it 
 did not interfere with any previous grants, and that within ten years 
 he should settle at least one hundred families on the located lands. 
 On these conditions, he should be freely entitled to 1000 acres adjacent 
 to every house, with the privilege of entering as much more of the ad- 
 jacent lands at one shilling per acre.

 Burden returned to England for emigrants, and the next year, 
 1737, brought upwards of a hundred families to settle upon the grant- 
 ed lands, the spirit of emigration being rife among the Presbyterians 
 in the northern parts of Ireland, Scotland and adjacent parts of Eng- 
 land. Most of Burden's colonists were Scotch-Irish. Among others 
 we find the name of Ephraim McDowell, Archibald Alexander, An- 
 drew Moore, John Patton, Hugh Tilford, also the Prestons, Paxtons, 
 Lyles, Grigsbys, Stuarts, Crawfords, Cumminses, Browns, Wallaces, 
 Wilsons, Campbells, McCampbells, McClungs, Walkers, etc. They 
 were soon joined by others, mostly of their connections and acquaint- 
 ances at home. Their chief article of exchange was tobacco, which did 
 well iri the "Valley." They no sooner found a home in the wilderness 
 than they betook themselves to clearing fields, building houses, plant- 
 ing orchards and cultivating in every way the arts of civilization. 
 They were among the bravest and most effective militia, when called 
 into the field. General Washington signified his opinion of them 
 when, in the darkest days of the struggle of the colonists for their 
 liberty, he expressed his confidence that if all other resources should 
 fail, he might yet repair with a single standard to West Augusta and 
 there rally a band of patriots who would meet the enemy at the Blue 
 Ridge, and there establish the boundary of a free empire in the West. 
 
 This saying of Washington's has been variously reported; but we 
 have no reason to doubt that he did, in some form, declare his belief 
 that, in the last resort, he could yet gather a force in western Virginia 
 which the armies of Britain could not subdue. 
 
 Another characteristic of these people was their rigid Calvinistic 
 tendencies. No sooner had they provided necessary food and shelter, 
 than they began to provide places for regular religious worship. 
 
 The first road from Burden's Grant over the Blue Ridge was a 
 pack-horse road made through Rock Fish Gap. It was made by 
 Ephraim McDowell, ancestor of Governor James McDowell. 
 \ Burden's Land was afterwards known as Walker's Creek from the 
 peral families of that name that settled there. These families being 
 Wewhat numerous and closely allied, were sometimes called "the 
 reek Nation." They built churches and called pastors to the full 
 ^ent of their ability. Necessarily their churches were considerably 
 sttered, obliging many of them to travel many miles to public ser- 
 Ms, but they all went, old and young. Some of these churches are 
 y^tanding, monuments to the zeal and perseverance of these early

 settlers. They are built of the solid limestone of the valley. In build- 
 ing some of them, they had to adopt strange modes of conveyance. 
 For example, the Providence congregation packed all the sand used 
 in their church from a place six miles distant, sack by sack, on the 
 backs of horses, and what is almost incredible, the wives and daugh- 
 ters of the congregation are said to have undertaken this part of the 
 work, while the men labored at the stone and timber. 
 
 Their social intercourse was chiefly religious. When the Lord's 
 Supper was administered in a church, the services usually lasted four 
 days. A plurality of ministers was present, and the people would 
 flock to the place from all the country around, those who lived near 
 giving entertainment to those from a distance. It was customary to 
 have two of these meetings a year, one in the Spring and one in the 
 Autumn. Common schools arose among them. The first academy 
 established in the "Valley" was located at Timber Eidge, near the 
 present village of Fairfield. It was founded in 1776. From this in- 
 stitution sprung Washington College. The first rector was William 
 Graham. 
 
 Dr. Kuffner thus describes the school : The school house was a log 
 cabin. A fine forest of oaks, which had given Timber Eidge its name, 
 cast a shade over it in summer and afforded fuel in the winter. A 
 spring of pure water gushed from the rocks near by. The hill was 
 called Mount Pleasant, and well deserved the name. It consisted of 
 but one apartment. A horn called the pupils together. In this rustic 
 seminary a considerable number of young men began their education, 
 who afterwards bore a distinguished part in the civil and ecclesiastical 
 affairs of the country. 
 
 In the Virginia Historical Society Papers were found the following 
 interesting items :

 Joseph Walker : "Joseph Walker, one of the brothers of my grand- 
 mother Jane, and my mother's uncle, was born July 15, 1722, and 
 lived to a great age. The last years of his life were spent in -Ken- 
 tucky, where I saw him several times, and visited him once or twice 
 in his own home. When I last visited that state, in the year 1805, 
 this aged and venerable man was, I think, still living. He was a rul- 
 ing elder in the Presbyterian Church, a sensible and influential man, 
 pious and much gifted in prayer. From him chiefly has been obtain- 
 ed the data for my records relating to my grandfather's family 
 (James Moore) ; also respecting the Scotch ancestry of my grand- 
 mother, Jane Walker. I know nothing of his children except that 
 his daughter Sarah married John Paxton. Their son, Eev. John D. 
 Paxton, was pastor of a church in Norfolk, Va., and now resides in 
 Kentucky. 
 
 Since writing the above particulars concerning Joseph Walker, T 
 have found an old letter, addressed to me, while living in Augusta, 
 written by Eev. John P. Campbell of Kentucky and dated August 1, 
 1806. In this letter he notices the death of Joseph Walker, and fur- 
 nishes the following particulars: 'Our venerable uncle, Joseph 
 Walker, died about two weeks ago. The company around him had 
 sung, at his request, the 28th Hymn, 2nd Book, Dr. Watt's, as 
 follows : 
 
 'Stoop down, my thoughts, that used to rise, 
 
 Converse awhile with death; 
 Think how a gasping mortal lies 
 
 And pants away his breath.' 
 
 When they had sung the whole hymn through, he asked them to 
 sing the last verse over again. They did so, and he joined with them. 
 
 'Jesus, to tlxy dear faithful hand, 
 
 My naked soul I trust ; 
 And my flesh waits for thy command, 
 
 To drop into my dust.' 
 
 Then saying, Tt is enough,' he turned upon his side, and in a short 
 time expired. Thus died that good man. 'Blessed are the dead that 
 die in the Lord.' Probably born in Ireland, near Londonderry. He 
 was born in 1772, and died about the middle of July, making him 
 84 years old.' "

 Washington, D. C, March 6, 1900. 
 
 The records of this office show that one Joseph Walker served as a 
 private in Captain Thomas Snead's Company, known also as Captain 
 Nathaniel Morn's Company, and as Arthur Teacker's Company, 9th 
 Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel George Mathews, Revolu- 
 tionary War. He enlisted Feb. 2, 1776, and was discharged in Sep- 
 tember, 1776. 
 
 No further information relative to this soldier has been found of 
 record. 
 
 By authority of the Secretary of War:

 The military record of Joseph Walker was found in the Depart- 
 ment of Records and Pensions at Washington, D. C. Singular to say 
 I have been unable to find either in the War Records of the State of 
 Tennessee or Kentucky or the U. S. War Department, any record of 
 my Grandfather Hays' service. I only know from his own lips of his 
 service in the War of 1812, in the stories he used to tell us when we 
 were little folks. His son, Dr. Edgar C. Hays (who by the way serv- 
 ed in Forrest's Cavalry Brigade under Colonel Joseph Wheeler, in the 
 late war), says that his recollection is that grandfather enlisted at 
 Columbia, Ky., and that his company was in the regiment command- 
 ed by Colonel Adair, but a search, as I say, of the records, fails to 
 confirm any of this; but I will say this that the officers to whom I 
 wrote were in accord in stating that the records were very incomplete. 
 
 Yours very truly,

 GEORGE CAMPBELL Hays 4 (3551) (Mary 3 , Joseph 2 , John 1 ) ; 
 m. Dec. 28, 1824, near Winchester, Clark County, Ky., to Sarah Dil- 
 lard Collins (daughter of Dillard Collins and Sarah Montague Dun- 
 can, who was descended from Peter Montague of Virginia) ; both 
 members of the Christian Church. 
 
 George C. Hays was apprenticed at an early age to Mr. Bell, a mer- 
 chant of Adair County, Ky. At the age of eighteen he enlisted in the 
 War of 1812, against Great Britain, and served as color-bearer in a 
 regiment of Kentucky Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Adair, 
 under General Jackson. He was at the Battle of New Orleans, and 
 during the hottest of the fighting the flag was shot away and fell 
 without the breastworks of cotton bales. Young Hays climbed over 
 the breastworks and regained the flag, and stood for some time hold- 
 ing it aloft by its shattered standard ; although the enemy's fire was 
 directed at him he came out unscathed. 
 
 After £he war he returned to Columbia, Ky., where he remained 
 until his marriage. He then removed to Overton, Monroe County, 
 Tennessee, where he engaged in the general merchandise business, in 
 which he was very successful, accumulating what was then considered 
 quite a fortune. He removed to Ralls County, Mo., in 1835, journey- 
 ing overland with his wife, three children and servants, their objective

 bound emigrants, and later a prominent station on the old Santa Fe' 
 trail. Here he resumed the mercantile business, continuing to pros- 
 per until the breaking out of the war between the states, at which time 
 he lost considerable property. 
 
 He gave to his slaves, of whom he owned a goodly number, their 
 freedon at the beginning of the Civil War, but all of them remained

 There was also one daughter, Mary, and possibly more. Mary 
 Hays m. No. 3539 Joseph Walker 3 (Joseph 2 , John 1 ). There was also 
 a General William Hays of the Revolution, who belonged to the Or- 
 der of the Cincinnatus. He was either a brother or son of Major 
 John Hays. 
 
 Dr. John B. Hays, a first cousin to James Walker (No. 3725), m. 
 Ophelia C. Polk, a sister of Maria Jane Polk Walker and President 
 James K. Polk. They moved from Virginia to Columbia, Tenn. 
 They had 2 daughters, viz : 
 
 a. Virginia Hays; m. Captain Ed. Lee, C. S. A., of Columbia, 
 Tenn., on Dec. 25, 1854. They had 1 child, viz: 
 
 Hays Lee; b. 1855. He is now (1898) a practicing physician 
 in Evansville, 111. 
 
 b. Naomi Hays; m. Major W. E. Moore, Chief of Subsistence on 
 General Hood's Staff, in Dec, 186-1. They had 1 daughter, viz : 
 
 Ophelia Polk Moore, who was injured in a railroad accident 
 at State Line, N. C, and died six hours afterward in a 
 church near by, where all the injured were taken. 
 
 Mrs. Moore had a beautiful window placed in this church in mem- 
 ory of her, and afterwards in Helena, Ark., she endowed the Ophelia 
 Polk Orphan Home for girls, in remembrance of her daughter. Mrs. 
 Moore died in Helena, Ark., about 1896. 
 
 Ophelia Polk Moore, daughter of William E. and Naomi Hays 
 Moore; b. at Columbia, Tenn., Sept. 2, 1867; baptized by Rev. David 
 Pise, D. D., Oct. 12, 1867; died at Statesville, N. C, Aug. 27, 1891. 
 It is well for the living to remember the virtues of the blessed dead, 
 who have finished their earthly pilgrimage, for the memory of their 
 good deeds incites those who are left behind to follow in their foot- 
 steps. Actuated by such feelings, a friend, at the request of Mrs. 
 W. E. Moore, compiled a beautiful memorial in testimony of the gen- 
 tle and lovely character of Ophelia Polk Moore, whose untimely and 
 sad death in the terrible railway accident near Statesville, N. C, Aug. 
 27th, has brought sorrow and grief to a large circle of relatives, 
 friends and co-workers in St. John's Church, Helena, Ark.

 the Eesolutions. Tradition ascribes to Thomas Polk the principal 
 agency in bringing about the Declaration. — From Life of James K. 
 Polk, by John S. Jenkins. 
 
 Of Samuel and Jane Polk's 9 children we have account of the fol- 
 lowing three: 
 
 a. James Knox Polk, who became President of the United States. 
 
 b. Jane Maria Polk, who married James Walker. 
 
 c. Ophelia Polk, who married John Brown Hays, a brother of 
 
 Mary Hays, who married No. 3539 Joseph Walker. 
 
 Joseph Walker 3 (3539) (Joseph 2 , John 1 ) ; b. Jan. 10, 1761; m. 
 Mary, daughter of Major John Hays. The name of only one of their 
 children is known, but there were probably others. 1 child, viz : 
 
 3725. James Walker; m. Jane Maria Polk. He was probably the 
 eldest child. He and Jane Maria Polk were m. Feb. 24, 1813. She 
 was b. Jan. 4, 1798, in Charlotte, N. C. While a mere girl she re- 
 moved with her father and family to Maury County, Tenn., which 
 was about 1806. She united with the Protestant Episcopal Church 
 in 1829, living ever afterwards a consistent, faithful member. She 
 possessed in a remarkable degree vigor of intellect as well as unusual 
 physical activity and energy. She and her two daughters, Sally and 
 Anna Maria, spent one winter at the White House with her brother 
 during his Presidency. She went to Nashville when that city enter- 
 tained Lafayette and met him there. This was while J ames K. Polk 
 was Governor of Tennessee. Among her personal friends were W. W. 
 Corcoran and Bancroft, the historian. 
 
 Old "Kally Hill," a place of 12 acres, with a large 1 , comfortably 
 arranged mansion, the home of the Walkers, was given to Mrs. Maria 
 Walker by her sons, Samuel and Joseph Knox. The place was called 
 "Kally Hill" because Mrs. Walker said it should be a rallying place 
 for all the family, which it always was. It was a brick building with 
 a wide hall in the center, and a wing on each side containing large 
 rooms. When President Polk died, leaving no heirs, his property 
 was divided among his sister Maria's children, of whom there were 
 eleven. At the time of her death, Oct. 14, 1876, her descendants 
 numbered one hundred.

 James Walker was born in Fayette County. Ky., near Lexington; 
 died June. 1864, aged 72 years; celebrated his golden wedding in 
 1863; was a remarkably robust man. but never recovered from the 
 shock of hearing that his son Marshall was killed in a duel, just two 
 weeks after the death of his son Joseph Knox. His mother died when 
 he was quite small, and his father married Miss McCrosky. His step- 
 mother bound him out to a cabinet maker, which did not suit James. 
 His old colored nurse, "Lindy/ 5 stole him from the cabinet maker 
 and together they went to Tennessee, walking over 200 miles. She 
 cared for him until he was old enough to care for himself. She 
 spent her long life in her master's family, being always loved and 
 cared for by him. J ames lived for awhile with an uncle, Dr. Hays, 
 He was raised a Presbyterian, but was induced to join the Episcopal 
 Church by his cousin James Piper, who had come to Virginia on a 
 visit. This Piper was the one who wrote his name on the Virginia 
 Natural Bridge, above the name of Washington. But there probably 
 is no truth in the usually credited story that he climbed so far that it 
 was dangerous to retrace his steps and that his comrades hauled him 
 fainting to the top. Mr. William A. Caruthers, one of his comrades, 
 says that fr When he had ascended about 170 feet from the earth, and 
 had reached the point where the pillar overhangs the ravine, his heart 
 seemed to fail him. He stopped and seemed to us to be balancing 
 midway between heaven and earth. We had entreated him to return, 
 all to no purpose. Xow it was perilous even to speak to him. and 
 difficult to carry on a conversation at all, from the immense height to 
 which he had ascended, and the noise of the brook which tumbled 
 down the cascade. At length he seemed to discover that one of the 
 clefts rereated backward from the overhanging position of the pillar. 
 Into this he sprang at once, and was soon out of sight and out of 
 danger.*-' — Henry Howe's History of Virginia. 
 
 James Walker was Senior Warden of the Episcopal Church for 
 over 40 years; was highly educated for the time in which he lived; 
 was always called "Squire' 7 ; was one of the first Episcopals in Ten- 
 nessee; was also the first printer, and started the first newspaper in 
 the State of Tennessee. He owned the first stage line in middle Ten- 
 nessee, also the first iron works in the state, and was a trustee of Col- 
 umbia Institute from the time it was founded until his death. All 
 of his daughters were educated at this institute. He was related to 
 the Ballards, McDowells and Hays, also other families of note in

 EXTRACTS FEOM "AFTER THE BATTLE OF BELMONT." 
 
 BY SALLIE WALKER, BOON, OF CARTHAGE, MO. 
 
 Up to November, 1861, we, who lived in Memphis, thought we 
 realized that the war had begun. From out every home some one had 
 gone to fight for their country. My father, Colonel J. Knox Walker, 
 was a Union man, and all his relatives and family were on that side, 
 but in the twinkling of an eye everything changed. Lincoln's Proc- 
 lamation was read in the morning papers — that night my father was 
 Colonel of the 2nd Tennessee Regiment, C. S. A., the first to be raised 
 in Memphis. Two regiments claimed to be the 2nd. The dispute 
 was never settled until after the Battle of Belmont. At Belmont my 
 father's regiment received its baptism of blood on the battlefield.

 After that it was called the "Bloody 2nd." Memphis had a large 
 Irish population, my father was their friend ; in politics they follow- 
 ed his lead. mother was dead, the children were young (six of 
 them) and the father left the little family to serve his country. I was 
 only a young girl, but shall I ever forget those sad, sad days ? The 
 hearts that were broken, the homes that were made desolate ? 
 
 I was the daughter of my father's regiment ; his sisters, Mrs. W. S. 
 Pickett and Mrs. I. N. Barneti:, gave the nag. I presented the nag. 
 Captain Safferance in an impromptu speech accepted it, then my 
 father with his brave Irish boys in gray (and none braver ever fol- 
 lowed a flag) left for the front. Among many other sufferers Lieu- 
 tenant Jimmie Walker was mortally wounded. This news was sad 
 indeed to everyone, for he was a favorite with all. After what seemed 
 days of anxious waiting, he was brought home, and loving friends 
 did all they could to soften the last few hours, but it was not long 
 until his spirit had fled, and we laid him to rest in Elmwood, the fare- 
 well salute was fired, and we returned home. After the Battle of 
 Belmont the Generals met under a flag of truce, General Grant pro- 
 posed the toast, "General Washington." As the glasses were raised, 
 cousin Marsh Polk, who was a Colonel on General Polk's staff, said 
 "The first rebel," and everybody laughed.

 who was minister at the Court of St. J ames during President Bucha- 
 nan's administration. He was a Lieutenant and was on his Uncle 
 General Marshall Walker's staff all through the war. He attended 
 the University of Virginia, but left it to join the army. After the 
 war he graduated in law from Cambridge. Samuel and his brother 
 John were taken prisoners at Island No. 10, taken to Johnson Island 
 and kept about a year. 
 
 SAMUEL POLK WALKER. 
 
 Samuel Polk Walker, the fifth child of S. P. Walker and Eleanor 
 Wormley, was born October IT, 1842, in Memphis, Tenn., and was 
 therefore not quite 56 years old when he died, Sept. 15, 1898. His 
 brother, J. W. Walker, and sisters, Mrs. Nellie W. Portlock, Mrs. 
 Mary Bailey and Mrs. R. H. Allen, all residents of Memphis, survive 
 him. His father was a cotton commission merchant, one of the larg- 
 est operators in this city, maintaining also a house in New Orleans. 
 
 Judge Walker was married twice. His first wife was Margaret 
 McRae. They were married in Memphis in 1866. She was a daugh- 
 ter of D. K. McRae, one of the most distinguished lawyers of his 
 time, who came from North Carolina to Memphis. His second wife 
 was Miss Mary Howard Lombard. They were married Dec. 18, 1879. 
 She survives him, as do his children, Mrs. E. H. Martin of Green 
 Grove, Miss., and Miss Valerie Walker, children of the first union, 
 and Samuel P., Jr., and Howard, children of the second. The latter 
 are yet youths. 
 
 Judge Walker graduated at the age of 17 as valedictorian of his 
 class from the Nashville College, and then entered the Virginia Mili- 
 tary Institute at Lexington, where he was when the Civil War began. 
 He returned home, entered the Confederate Army and served four 
 years. He was Adjutant for two years upon the staff of General L. 
 Marshall Walker, and after the latter's death became adjutant to and 
 served on the staff of General W. Y. C. Humes until the close of the 
 war. He then entered the Harvard Law School, and completed there 
 the course, returning to Memphis to enter the practice of law with his 
 father-in-law, the firm name being McRae, Perkins and Walker. 
 Subsequently the firm became McRae and Walker. He was city at- 
 torney for several years. Judge Walker was a Mason, being a mem- 
 
518 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 ber of the South Memphis Lodge. He was also a member of the Ten- 
 nessee Club, and of the Memphis Gun Club, the Wapanoca Outing 
 and Oakdonic Fishing Clubs. He was elected Chancellor in 1872, 
 but resigned to give his attention to the business of the firm of Met- 
 calf & Walker, which was formed in 1874, and of which he remained 
 the rest of his life a member. He was the youngest chancellor ever 
 chosen in Tennessee under the present constitution. 
 
 J udge Walker was one of the ablest and most widely known lawyers 
 in the State of Tennessee. The universal esteem in which he was 
 held sprang from a combination of superior professional worth and 
 social characteristics that made him a charming associate in any circle 
 he entered. His grace of manners, delicate regard of others, love of 
 social gnjoyment and his versatility as displayed in turning easily 
 his brilliant mind from tff law's grave study" to lighter vein, caused 
 him to be eagerly sought after in club life and society. 
 
 The conscientiousness with which he discharged his professional 
 duties, the vigor with which he entered upon and continued his work, 
 the lucidity with which he stated cases, the accuracy and readiness 
 with which he seized salient facts, the nicety with which he drew dis- 
 tinctions in the application of legal principles; his conciseness, his 
 clearness, his logic — made it plain that he had sacrificed no profes- 
 sional excellence in becoming a good companion and enlisted the ut- 
 most esteem of those who studied him as a lawyer. His nature kept 
 his heart always in touch with humanity. His life was adorned by 
 noble work. 
 
 Judge Walker died at West Yarmouth, Mass., where the family 
 were spending the summer." — Talcen from the Commercial Appeal,

 Tenn., Aug. 25, 1863. Augusta Adams Tabb, wife of J. K. Walker, 
 was born in Lynchburg, Va., 1824 ; died in Memphis July 30, 1860. 
 She was the daughter of Henry (possibly Wm. Henry) Tabb and 
 Caledonia (Garland or Daniels) and was said to be a direct descend- 
 ant of Pocahontas. She had a brother, Blucher Tabb, who was ap- 
 pointed to the Navy by President Polk, and was killed while in the 
 Navy on the coast of Africa, when only about 18 years old. Her par- 
 ents both dying when she was quite young, her uncle, Samuel Gar- 
 land, was appointed her guardian. He died during the war. From 
 her Uncle Hugh Daniels she inherited $20,000 ; was often called the 
 Virginia heiress, having inherited several other legacies. She was a 
 cousin of General Sam Garland, C. S. A., who was killed in western 
 Virginia. When a young man Joseph Knox left his home in Lexing- 
 ton and went to Tennessee ; was one of the leading criminal lawyers 
 in the state and represented Shelby County in the State Senate in 
 1858-9; was State Delegate to three National Democratic Conven- 
 tions — the one held at Cincinnati when Lincoln and Hamlin were 
 nominated, also at Baltimore and Charleston. He studied law with 
 his L T ncle James K. Polk, and was for awhile Ms partner at Colum- 
 bia; graduated from Yale College with high honors in 1838; was 
 private secretary to President Polk. It is said that the office was 
 created for him. While serving in this capacity he with his family 
 lived in the White House at Washington. After Polk's term expired 
 J. K. Walker practiced law awhile in Washington, then moved to 
 Memphis in 1852. When the war broke out he raised a regiment, 
 which fought like tigers at Belmont. After this battle Walker's regi- 
 ment was called "The Bloody Second." He was a great friend of the 
 Irish, his regiment being composed mostly of men of this nationality. 
 He was presented with the use of a pew during his life time in the 
 Catholic Cathedral at Memphis, although he was a member of the 
 Episcopal Church; was at the time of his death one of the highest 
 Masons in the state. He married Augusta Adams Tabb in Lynch-

 1872, in Springfield, Mo. ; m. General Frank C. Armstrong, C. S. A., 
 April 27, 1863, in Columbia, Tenn. 
 
 During the fall of 1862, after the Federals had taken possession of 
 Memphis and the surrounding territory, Colonel Samuel P. Walker 
 obtained permission to go south, presumably to visit his three sons, 
 who were officers in the Confederate service. His real mission proba- 
 bly was to purchase cotton which he intended to ship through the 
 lines and sell in the North. With the money obtained in this way he 
 no doubt purchased the supplies which he sent to his soldier sons. 
 He also had permission to take with him his wife, daughter Nellie, 
 then a young girl, and a young lady niece, Maria Polk, daughter of 
 his brother, Colonel J. K. Walker. The party remained South several 
 months, a greater part of the time they spent in Oxford, Miss. While 
 South Maria met and became engaged to Frank Crawford Armstrong, 
 a Brigadier-General of Cavalry. After she returned North her health 
 became greatly impaired from the shock of several reports received 
 at diffrent times of the wounding and death of General Armstrong. 
 She begged to be allowed to go South and marry the General. This 
 her father would not consent to, but later when word came that Gen- 
 eral Armstrong's Brigade would be camped near Columbia, where 
 Colonel Walker's parents lived, he gave his consent for Maria to go 
 through the lines and be married at his mother's home. It was a 
 long and hard trip made overland in any and all kind of conveyances, 
 through Federal and Confederate lines. She arrived in Columbia 
 about the middle of April and her marriage was to be on the 27th. 
 On the evening of this day in the presence of about two hundred peo- 
 ple, in the parlors of "Old Eally Hill," Maria P. Walker was married 
 to F. C. Armstrong by Eev. Pease of the Episcopal Church. It was 
 a full military wedding, almost every gentleman present was in uni- 
 form, and the General and his attendants were in the full dress of the 
 
522 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Confederate Cavalry, gray with yellow trimmings. The attendants 
 were staff officers of General Armstrong and General Van Dorn. 
 Maria was given away by her grandfather, James Walker, who only 
 a few weeks before had celebrated his golden wedding. The attend- 
 ants were Sally Walker, sister of the bride, and Captain James H. 
 Polk, of General Armstrong's bodyguard, Maria Barnett and Hal T. 
 Walker, Naomi Hays and Major M. M. Kimmel, Fannie and Sallie 
 Hawkins and Antoinette Polk, cousins of the bride, Major Ed Dillon, 
 and Major Kenny. General Earl Van Dorn and General Forrest were 
 present at the wedding, also several other officers of the army. Im- 
 mediately after the ceremony the Brigade Band played a familiar air. 
 It was by far the largest body of cavalry ever seen together at that 
 time and was a very impressive and imposing function. 
 
 The account of the above was obtained from Mrs. Boon, who was a 
 sister of the bride and was present at the wedding.

 was the father of William C. Boone; and he was the father of William 
 Crawford Boone, who married Lucy Daly. They had 7 sons and 4 
 daughters. One of these, Hampton Lynch Boone, was b. in Fayette, 
 Howard County, Mo., Dec. 15, 1837, and m. Sallie, daughter of 
 J. Knox Walker. When very young he attended Bethany College at 
 Wheeling, Va., and was educated under the late Alexander Campbell. 
 After graduating there he attended the law school at Lebanon, Tenn. ; 
 practiced law awhile, but about that time the gold fever broke out, 
 and he joined a western expedition, and was one of the original forty 
 men who located and named the city of Denver, Col. At the outbreak 
 of the war he entered the Confederate army as Lieutenant at Fayette, 
 Mo., and was all through the Missouri campaign with General Sterl- 
 ing Price. He was at the battles of Boonville, Carthage, Wilson 
 Creek and many others, and was the officer detailed to bury General 
 Nathaniel Lyons, IT. S. A. 
 
 During the Missouri campaign he was captured seven times, but 
 was never exchanged, each time making his escape. Later he was 
 Quartermaster on General Earl Van Dorn^s staff. After General 
 Van Dorn's death he was on the staff of General Frank C. Armstrong. 
 He was one of the first to enter the army, and remained in active ser- 
 vice until its close. Upon the occasion of his death, The Sterling 
 Price Camp Veterans drew up and caused to be published the most 
 complimentary resolutions of respect and esteem. From these resolu- 
 tions the above account of his services was taken. He died at Ard- 
 more, Ind. Ter., April 8, 1890.

 Carthage, Mo. Mrs. Jane Barnett lives in Columbia, Tenn. Her 
 brother James and her sister, Mrs. Ann Phillips, make their home 
 with her. Mrs. Jane C. Barnett, aged 79 years, died Nov. 27, 1899, 
 in Columbia, Tenn., where she was born. She was for many years 
 identified with the social and religious life of the city. She was the 
 oldest member of any church in Columbia, and for more than fifty 
 years taught a Sunday- School and also a Bible class. She spent most 
 of her young womanhood in Washington, during the career of her 
 illustrious uncle, President Polk. During the war she was a tender 
 and careful nurse of sick and wounded soldiers confined in the hospi- 
 tal at Columbia. Many were her deeds of charity, and many a weary 
 heart has she comforted. It may well be said of her, "she hath done 
 what she could." Her life was a box of alabaster ointment which she 
 broke in her Masters cause. Their children were :

 Tenn., September 19th, 1898. 
 
 * # * * jyjy grandfather was named Joseph Walker. He 
 married a Miss Hays of Virginia, an aunt of Dr. Hays. My father, 
 James Walker, was born in Kentucky, but after his mother's death he 
 went to Virginia to live with his mother's relatives. His father mar- 
 ried a second time and there were two half-sisters, one Aunt McCros- 
 ky, and Mary Walker, who was a celebrated beauty. He had several 
 half-brothers in Kentucky whom he never saw. ****** 
 
 I must tell you of a circumstance that happened during the Civil 
 War. On the battlefield of Shiloh, General Walker of the Federal 
 army met your father and could have shot him, but he said, "he look- 
 ed so much like my own brother that I could not." He asked what 
 that man's name was and was told that it was Colonel Joseph Knox 
 Walker of the Kebel army. He said, "that man is my cousin, and T 
 could swear to it." General William Walker came to Columbia after 
 the Battle of Shiloh and was invited to Uncle Polk's to supper with 
 other Federal officers and told Uncle William all about meeting your 
 father on the battlefield.

 JAMES WALKER Cole (3826) . A St. Louis paper gives the fol- 
 lowing account of James W. Cole's experience at the memorable Bat- 
 tle of Manila, where he as a trumpeter sounded the call to arms, and 
 recovered six miles of deep sea cable from the interior of the islands, 
 receiving a wound just as he fired one of the big guns. He received 
 his discharge from the army April 26, 1899. 
 
 J. W. Cole, a St. Louis young man, who was formerly a member of 
 Battery A, and who enlisted in the regular army in Ma}-, 1898, sound-

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Light Artillery into action at Manila on the night of Feb. 5, when 
 the Filipinos attacked the town and began the miserable war that has 
 continued since. 
 
 Cole returned to St. Louis last week with a discharge from the 
 army for disability, an honorable record for over a yearns service, a 
 special mention in writing for secret service work, a scar from a 
 Mauser bullet and a fund of narratives of personal experience and ob- 
 servations. 
 
 Cole recovered the six miles of deep sea cable now doing duty be- 
 tween Cavite and Manila after it had been stolen from the navy yard 
 at Cavite by Filipinos and carried 60 miles into the interior. For 
 this performance he received honorable mention from Colonel Thomp- 
 son, chief of the secret service. 
 
 Cole followed the theatrical profession in St. Louis and is well 
 known about the local theaters. He has a part in "Northern Lights" 
 at the Imperial Theater this week. 
 
 Cole enlisted as a trumpeter, but did little trumpeting, save on the 
 night of the attack. His ability gained him an assignment to the se- 
 cret service and the lack of men in his own command sent him back 
 there as an artilleryman. 
 
 Cole related some of his experiences to the Post-Dispatch. A strik- 
 ing feature about the recital was the fact that Cole proclaimed him- 
 self "nothing but a private" at the outset and declared that others 
 might criticize officers and commanders if they chose, but he would 
 not make adverse comment on the work of his superiors, no matter 
 what his opinion might be. 
 
 Another feature in Cole's tale is the occasional use of expressive 
 slang of the day, as our soldiers in the Orient used it. 
 
 "My first experience under fire was the night of the attack on Man- 
 ila, Feb. 5," said Cole. "Naturally I remember what I saw that night 
 quite distinctly, and I also remember something of how I felt. 
 
 "That was some time after I had returned to the battery, subse- 
 quent to my service in the secret service. 
 
 "The battery's quarters were at Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8, Calle Malate in 
 Manila, just outside the walls of the old town. 
 
 "We had six guns at the quarters. Two were at Fort Malate and 
 four were at our position opposite Block House No. 11, on Artillery 
 Knoll. 
 
 "This block house was one of the chain of fourteen that extended 
 around the town from the bay to the bay. The block houses were in 
 the possession of the Filipinos. The lines at that time were close, in- 
 deed. In some places our lines were within 60 yards of the enemy's 
 trenches. But that is ahead of this particular story. 
 
 "The various commands in the army had quarters in the city and 
 a post at the front. It was the custom to keep a detachment at the 
 post while the main body of the command remained at quarters. 
 
 "At that time our battery was short of men. We had been given 
 
JOHN WAIiKEK. 
 
 531 
 
 the gnus of the Astor battery, which made us a 12-gnn battery, 
 whereas we were a six-gun battery when we occupied Manila. 
 
 "Our quarters were about three miles from our position on Artil- 
 lery Knoll. On the night in question I was trumpeter of the guard, 
 and my station was outside of the building which served as barracks. 
 The guns were always in position in the street. 
 
 "The night was dark as any I remember. A drizzling rain was 
 falling. Directly across the street from the quarters were the head- 
 quarters of the signal service. That building was lighted up. Our 
 barracks were dark. 
 
 " ''Quarter had gone about 15 minutes, and the men were in bed. 
 It was about 9 o'clock, when I saw the operator across the street wave 
 a message at me. I saw that he was excited and surmised the orders 
 must be important. 
 
 "Toeing trumpeter of the guard I was messenger to the captain also. 
 I ran across the street and took the dispatch. I carried it to the cap- 
 tain. He was at supper. I knocked at the door. The captain opened 
 the door. His napkin was fastened under his chin. 
 
 "As the door swung open I saluted and handed him the message, 
 and then stood at attention, waiting for the reply. 
 
 "The light being behind him I could not see the expression on his 
 face as he tore open the envelope and glanced at the enclosure. But 
 he gave it only a glance, then — 
 
 " •'Trumpeter, blow "'Call to arms'" — quick/ 
 
 ec Now } "Call to arms' meant 'something doing." That was no drill 
 command: it meant fight. I faced about, with the mouth of my 
 trumpet out of doors and blew to beat the band. 
 
 "The captain did not finish his supper that night, for he was out 
 with the guns almost as quick as I got there. In seven minutes, so I 
 was told later, after I blew that call the entire force at quarters was 
 out and the guns were manned. 
 
 "The men had turned out of bunks, dressed, received revolver am- 
 munition and taken places in that time. 
 
 •'"'One thing we did not have to do. That was hitch up horses. 
 Why ? Because we had no horses. We dragged the guns. TVe were 
 horse-soldiers, as the boy said. Each man did the work of one horse 
 until firing began and then he did the work of one man or the num- 
 ber that was short at his piece. But we did not have horses to clean — 
 there was consolation in that. 
 
 '"There we stood in the street, waiting. Xo one but the officers 
 knew what had happened, but we in the ranks knew full well, with- 
 out being told, that the long expected had happened : the fighting had 
 been begun somewhere and we were shortly to be in it. 
 
 "There was no sound of firing — no sound but the falling rain, 
 which was increasing. While we stood there the Idaho regiment, 
 which had quarters around the corner from us, dashed past doing 
 double time.

 "Two or three mounted messengers galloped into the city from the 
 direction of our post. We called each other's attention, in that way 
 soldiers have without talking in ranks, to several moving colored 
 lights in the sky, far out beyond where our outposts were. These 
 looked like balloons, and they were — Filipino signal balloons. 
 
 "These things I tell you of transpired within a very few minutes. 
 We were given the command and away we went at a steady pace, fol- 
 lowing the officers who were mounted, out the road towards Artillery 
 Knoll, with the guns rumbling and grumbling behind us. 
 
 "There was no sign of firing, no light in the sky from burning 
 huts, no sign of war until — well, the beginning came quick enough 
 and was apparent enough to suit the most exacting. 
 
 "We had covered half the distance to our position and were passing 
 the old Paco Church, which stood at the fork where one branch led to 
 Artillery Knoll and the other to Malate. 
 
 "I had often admired the church for its quaint architecture and 
 the gay colored dome. It was the chief building of a monastery in- 
 habited by nice old monks. 
 
 "What do you think ? Out of that nice old dome there came a flash 
 — which I thought was lightning — and in the same instant realized, 
 with the report of a gun in my ears, that it was from a sharpshooter's 
 rifle. One of our boys yelped. Another flash and report, another 
 shot, and half a dozen followed. 
 
 "We were being fired on from the church. The battery almost halt- 
 ed, and I feel sure that every man whipped out his revolver — I know 
 I did. My impulse was to defend my life as best I could. 
 
 "The Captain shouted a command, the battery rallied and contin- 
 ued at the old pace, slipping and sliding along the muddy road, while 
 the firing continued. 
 
 "We passed within 50 feet of the church. Four or five shots were 
 fired at the building by our boys in the first excitement. No one ever 
 knew but the men in the ranks who fired them, and no inquiry was 
 made. 
 
 "The fire from the church ceased when we had gone about 100 
 yards from it. On we went through the mud. We began to hear 
 what sounded like volley-firing, way off to the left, but all about us 
 was quiet. 
 
 "There were no signs of life in the trenches and blockhouses in 
 front of our position when we got there. As soon as we got to the 
 knoll the Captain commanded, without halting the battery, 'Action 
 to rear V 
 
 "Well, we did 'action to rear/ and in about 10 minutes Paco 
 Church was out of the business. 
 
 "The tall dome made a good enough mark for the first shot, al- 
 though we were a mile away from it. The first shot fired the build- 
 ing and after that we had a bonfire to shoot at. 
 
 "Nothing else occurred that night. We stood at our posts all night.

 The sound of firing came nearer and nearer as the night wore on. and 
 when daylight lighted np the trenches, the blockhouse, the marshes 
 and rice fields in front, the engagement was on in earnest, and we 
 were under fire from blockhouse No. 11. which was less than 100 
 yards away. 
 
 "So soon as the target was plain enough we opened fire on Messrs. 
 Filipinos and the blockhouse. This was the way it was done, after 
 the mark had been indicated : 
 
 " ''Battery — load !* 
 
 " Tire by batter}- V 
 
 u "'Xo. 1, ready ! — Xo. 2. ready V and on down the line of guns. 
 Then, from the captain : 
 " Tire V 
 
 "That was the end of Blockhouse ^\o. 11 and all the Filipinos in it. 
 Following the destruction of Xo. 11. we turned on Blockhouses 9 
 and 10 and finished them. Our section of two guns at Malate at- 
 tended to Blockhouses 13 and 14 in the same thorough manner. 
 
 "'But while this was going on we were under a heavy cross fire. 
 There were three fires directed at us. one from the Danish Consul's 
 house, another from the trenches on our left and the third from a 
 good position, near a bridge, to the right. Had the Filipinos been 
 good shots we would have suffered severely. As it was, five men were 
 wounded/ 5 
 
 Cole tells of his being wounded without calling attention to the 
 courage and devotion to duty he displayed at the time, but the plain 
 facts show that he acted heroically. 
 
 "'The battery advanced to participate in the destruction of San 
 Pedro de Ma carte after destroying the blockhouses. We had fired 
 several shots. I was acting as No. 2 at my piece, and a boy of 16 — 
 Thompson was his name — was acting trumpeter. The piece was 
 loaded and primed. I had the lanyard in my hand and was in posi- 
 tion, waiting for the command. TVe were firing by battery. 
 
 "I felt a sharp blow on my chest, a stinging pain. I was dizzy and 
 reeling. One hand let go of the lanyard. I heard : 
 
 " Tire Y 
 
 "I braced myself and pulled the lanyard, while the report of the 
 other guns told me I was late. It seemed that the concussion lifted 
 me from the ground. The town and trenches beyond were jumbled 
 in a mass of earth and buildings before me. That was the last I saw 
 or felt until I awoke on a cot, with rows of men on cots about me and 
 a nurse told me I had been out of the business 15 days. 
 
 "My wound was in the chest. The bullet is still in my body. I re- 
 mained in the hospital, it was the second reserve inside of Manila, un- 
 til the middle of July, six months, and was then carried on board the 
 transport Sherman. 
 
 "My condition began to improve as soon as we got out to sea, and

 I was practically well when we readied San Francisco a month later, 
 although I am physically unable to soldier now/' 
 
 Cole arrived at Manila Aug. 16, 1898, three days after the occupa- 
 tion of the city by the American Army. He was doing duty as 
 trumpeter and messenger. The battery was called upon to furnish 
 one man for secret service duty. Captain Dyer recommended Cole 
 and he was detailed to that duty under Colonel Thompson. 
 
 "My most interesting experience in the secret service was in recov- 
 ering six miles of deep sea cable," said Cole. "The cable was origi- 
 nally Spanish property. It was on board the gunboat Isla de Manila 
 when Dewey captured that vessel with some dozens of others on the 
 1st of May. The Manila was sent into dry dock at the Cavite Naval 
 Yard and the cable was placed on shore. While there it disappeared. 
 
 "I was assigned to find the cable. It was a bulky thing to carry 
 away, making almost a carload. I learned that it was in three sec- 
 tions. It was natural to suppose it had been shipped into the interior 
 on the railroad, which was Filipino property. 
 
 "It was not difficult to trace the cable to Corrigedor Island, where 
 it had been stored. I learned that it had been put on a train and 
 started up county. 
 
 "I then assumed the role of an Englishman en route to the gold 
 mines in the interior and visited General Luna at Malabon. Luna 
 was afterwards assassinated. Luna received me courteously and gave 
 me a pass through the Filipino lines. 
 
 "I learned at Malabon that the cable had been transferred to bull 
 carts — it required five carts — -and sent away from the railroad. I 
 secured a pair of native ponies and a cart and went in pursuit. I 
 came up with the ox carts hauling the cable about 60 miles south of 
 Manila and out of the territory that was occupied by Aguinaldo. 
 
 "After getting a sight of the ox-train I kept it in sight and never 
 traveled many miles ahead of it. I knew where the carts halted each 
 night and saw them start out each morning. 
 
 "Finally the train left the road and went out across the rice fields. 
 I kept them in sight. There was a detail of Filipino soldiers with the 
 train. They buried the cable in a marsh and covered it with bamboos, 
 which they stuck in the ground as though they were growing there. 
 
 "The soldiers and the carts left the place. I remained in the neigh- 
 borhood long enough to become convinced that the cable was to be left 
 where it was buried, and then hastened back to Manila to report. 
 
 "I was sent out with a detail of soldiers and piloted them to the 
 spot where the cable was buried. The cable was dug up and hauled 
 back to Manila in ox carts. We took a roundabout course which kept 
 us clear of the Filipino camps and reached Manila in safety." 
 
 "What was your reward?" 
 
 "A piece of paper — honorable mention."

 CHILDEEX OF THE WHITE HOUSE. 
 
 THE C LEVEL AXD BABIES XOT THE OXLT OXES BOBX THERE. 
 
 Eeminiscences of the four little folks of President Polk's household — 
 Told by "one of the children,*' now living in Carthage, Mo. 
 
 The following interesting story of White House children is con- 
 tributed to the Republic by Mrs. H. L. Boon of Carthage, Mo., widow 
 of Major Hampton L. Boon, and great-niece of President James K. 
 Polk. Mrs. Boon's childhood days were passed in the White House, 
 and this bit of history of the little folks who were born and reared 
 there is exceptionally entertaining. Mrs. Boon says: "Although 
 much has been written at various times regarding children of the 
 White House, I have never seen a true account of my fathers chil- 
 dren, so I send you the following account." 
 
 It would seem from the story that boys have never at any time been 
 as plentiful at the White House as girls in the past, and at present the 
 
536 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 three Cleveland babies may play with their dolls without fear of the 
 noisy presence and interference of a boy. 
 
 The little bunch of anecdotes and reminiscences are told by Mrs. 
 Boon as follows: 
 
 "As we look in npon the White House, during President Polk's 
 administration, we see it made glad and happy with the prattle and 
 laughter of little children. 
 
 When Colonel J. Knox Walker moved into the White House to be- 
 come private secretary to his uncle, his family consisted of his beauti- 
 ful wife, then only twenty-one, and two lovely children, Maria Polk, 
 two years old, and Henry Tabb who was called Hal, seven months old. 
 
 Colonel J. Knox Walker was a very handsome man, with polished 
 manners and a charming voice. 
 
 In an Appleton's Journal of March, 1875, I find this description 
 of Mrs. Walker. The writer, speaking of a reception of President 
 Polk's, says : "Mrs. Polk was an elegant hostess, and she was assisted 
 by Mrs. Knox Walker, a most beautiful creature, who possessed that 
 charm of making any place look festive/' 
 
 After reading the above description, one can see why of a large 
 family of relatives, Mr. Polk selected Colonel Walker for his private 
 secretary, and desired him to bring his family to the White House. 
 
 On March 15, 1846, on General Jackson's birthday, and in the 
 room he had occupied, there was born a little girl. Colonel Walker 
 named his little girl, Sarah, for Mrs. Polk, but she was always called 
 Sally. This baby was not named Polk, as Colonel Walker's oldest 
 daughter was named Maria Polk, for his mother, who was a sister of 
 Mr. Polk. 
 
 As but few babies had previously been born in the White House, 
 Mrs. Polk made arrangements for an elegant christening party, but 
 when the rector of Christ Church, Eev. Mr. White Pine, was told 
 about the party to be given, he said the rules of the Church required 
 all children to be brought to the church except where sickness pre- 
 vented. Mr. and Mrs. Polk, not being Episcopalians, were quite pro- 
 voked, and Colonel Walker thought it best to let the matter drop. 
 
 Little Sally, though a mite of a baby, must have made up her mind 
 to be christened in the White House, for shortly afterwards she was 
 taken very ill. Dr. Miller did not think she would live, so Eev. Mr. 
 White Pine was sent for in a hurry and the baby was christened in 
 the White House. 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 537 
 
 On Dec. 9, 1847, J. Knox Walker, Jr., was born in the White 
 House. If Sally had been a little queen during her short reign, little 
 Knox was made a baby king, for it was said that he was the first boy 
 that was ever born in the White House. 
 
 Mr. W. W. Corcoran, after the birth of each of these children, sent 
 an elegant silver cup and spoon. These cups and spoons were the 
 only presents of any value I ever heard of these children receiving, 
 with one exception. Mrs. Polk ordered a breast-pin, and when it 
 came earrings were sent too. Mrs. Polk did not wear earrings, but 
 Mrs. Walker handed her $15.00 saying, "Aunt Sally, I will take 
 them." They were gold harps. Mrs. Polk turned and handed the 
 money to Colonel Walker, with the remark, "Knox, give this gold to 
 little Sally with interest when she is fifteen years old." 
 
 Maria Polk began to play her part as "Queen of Hearts" in the 
 White House, and played it through her short life. While very 
 young, she gained two warm friends, who remained loyal through 
 her life time. One was Mr. Buchanan, Secretary of State in Mr. 
 Polk's Cabinet, afterward President, and the other was General Har- 
 ney. Maria was devoted to Mr. Buchanan, and often ran away to 
 visit him in his office. One day Mr. Buchanan was dining with the 
 President and Maria was brought to the table, when the dessert was 
 being served. Mr. Buchanan said : "Well, my little pet, what did 
 you do with that nice bolt of red ribbon (legal red tape) that I gave 
 you this morning?" "My mamma tied me to the bed-post because 
 I runned away." 
 
 General Harney was very fond of Maria, and when she was about 
 seven years old he bought from Tom Thumb, when he was being ex- 
 hibited in Washington, one of his coaches, and presented it to Maria. 
 It was a beautiful thing, and would hold four small children, a driver 
 and footman. Of course, the latter were children also. 
 
 Hal was a great favorite of the President's. He now has a letter 
 written by his father to his mother, who was on a visit to her girl- 
 hood's home in Lynchburg. In it he says : "I am glad you will soon 
 be home, as Uncle James misses Hal so much. Be sure to have Hal 
 bring him some of Grandpa's Tabb's tobacco, as the last he gave him 
 is about gone." 
 
 Sally was devoted to Mr. Polk, and it was almost impossible to 
 keep her out of his office. Mr. Polk could often be seen walking about 
 holding Sally by the hand, and to the first one he met he would say : 
 
538 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 "Won't you please keep Sally out of my room?" I suppose Salty is 
 the only one who ever attended Cabinet meetings, and on that account 
 acquired her nickname of "Curly." 
 
 Colonel Bobert J. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury in Mr. Polk's 
 Cabinet, was a very bright and lovable man, and his friends declared 
 he would find out all the secrets of state, and he was called by his in- 
 timate friends, "Curly." Sally could not be kept out of the Cabinet 
 meetings, and she was called "Curly." Colonel Walker did not ap- 
 prove of nicknames, but he always called his daughter by the one 
 gained in this manner. After leaving the White House, Colonel 
 Walker kept house for a few years in Washington, but then moved to 
 Memphis, Tenn. I forgot to mention that Maria came very near 
 handing her name down in history. While living at the White House, 
 she put a lighted candle under the bed. If it had not been discovered 
 in time the house would have been burned. As it was, the room was 
 just a little damaged. 
 
 Maria Walker was educated at the Convent of Visitation, George- 
 town, D. C, and spent the winter of fifty-nine in Washington. As a 
 little child she had often given Mr. Buchanan a warm welcome to the 
 White House. Now he as President, and living at the White House, 
 returned the compliment. 
 
 During one of her visits, Mr. James Buchanan, nephew and private 
 secretary to the President, was showing Miss Maria Walker through 
 the White House. He showed her a cradle, and said, "Here is your 
 cradle." But she replied, "No." He said, "Well, it belongs to one of 
 Colonel Knox Walker's children." "It was my sister Sally's." 
 
 Colonel Walker had 10 children, but Knox was the pet lamb of the 
 fold. When 10 years old, he was thrown from his pony and killed. 
 
 Mrs. Walker never recovered from the shock and sorrow. She saw 
 four of her children carried out to Elmwood, and then she too was 
 laid beside them. Though the mother of ten children, she was still 
 very young, and very beautiful, not being quite thirty-six years old 
 when she died. 
 
 Mr. Polk thought Mrs. Walker so beautiful, that when celebrated 
 artists came to paint his portrait, he would have Mrs. Walker sit also. 
 Healy, the celebrated portrait painter, executed an excellent portrait 
 of Mrs. Walker. She is sitting in the east room in the Court of Arms 
 Chair. Sully also painted an ivory miniature. These pictures are 
 prized very highly by Mrs. Walker's children.

 Maria Walker married General Frank C. Armstrong, and it was 
 a coincidence that she, who had been such a pet of General Harney's, 
 should marry a gentleman, who, when in the United States' Army, 
 had been a staff officer of General Harney's. When General Arm- 
 strong married Miss Walker he was in the Confederate army. Mrs. 
 Armstrong died at the age of twenty-seven. She had gone to Spring- 
 field, Mo., for health, and died there, and is buried in the Eoman 
 Catholic Cemetery. 
 
 Sally married in 1866 Major Hampton L. Boon, who had been on 
 General Van Dorn's staff during the war. After the war Major Boon 
 was a well known agent of the New York Life Insurance Company. 
 He died in Ardmore, Indian Territory, in 1893, and is buried in 
 Carthage, Mo., where his widow resides with four children. General 
 Armstrong is at present Assistant Indian Inspector. Hal T. Walker 
 resides with his family in Montgomery, Ala. Joseph Knox Walker 
 was a Colonel in the Confederate army. He died in 1863, and is 
 buried in Elmwood in Memphis. His death was caused by sickness 
 contracted by exposure in the army. President and Mrs. Polk are 
 both buried in Nashville, Tenn. 
 
 Of the many people who went in and out of the White House dur- 
 ing Mr. Polk's term, I know of but two that are living, Sally Walker 
 Boon and Hal T. Walker, of Montgomery, Ala. — Written by Sally 
 Walker Boon, for the St. Louis Republic. 
 
 Mrs. Green of Nashville sends the following in reference to the 
 statement that Sally Walker was born in the White House. As proof 
 of the fact, I publish the affidavit in this connection. 
 
 Tliis is to Certify, That I am a sister of Joseph Knox Walker, who 
 was Private Secretary to James K. Polk, President of the United 
 States, during his whole administration. I solemnly affirm that Sally 
 Walker Boon is the daughter of J. Knox Walker, and was born in the 
 White House at Washington, D. C, in March, 1846. I was spending 
 the winter with my uncle at that time, and was therefore in the White 
 House at the time of her birth. I will swear to this fact if necessary.

 A FAMOUS DUEL. 
 
 HOW GEN. L. M. WALKER WAS KILLED BY GEN. JOHN S. MARMADUKE. 
 — THE STORY TOLD BY A GRANDSON OF DAVY CROCKETT, WHO 
 WAS WALKER'S SECOND. — THE FIRST AUTHENTIC STATEMENT. — 
 A CHARGE OF COWARDICE THE CAUSE. 
 
 During the four years of carnage known in history and memory as 
 "The War of the Secession," there occurred no single incident of a 
 more romantic, sensational or thrilling character, than the duel 
 fought near Little Rock, Ark., between Generals Walker and Mar- 
 maduke. 
 
 This famous meeting on the field of honor, has been written of in 
 many of its aspects. It is possible the facts have never before been 
 chronicled. The following graphic account is from the lips of Col- 
 onel Robert H. Crockett, of Arkansas, a grandson of the historic 
 Davy Crockett, and himself a conspicuous figure in the scenes of 
 which he relates. His story runs thus: "Although more than a 
 quarter of a century has passed since it occurred, yet even now, every 
 scene connected with it, is as fresh and vivid in my "mind's eye" as 
 though it had happened only yesterday. 
 
 Shortly after the death of General Marmaduke, the story of the 
 duel again came to the front, and nearly every leading journal had 
 its own version (with no two alike, and each claiming to be right), 
 while all were more or less incorrect. Some of these narratives and 
 interviews reflected on the seconds rather severely. I read an inter- 
 view with General Frost in a St. Louis paper, which made the old 
 hero say: "The duel was entirely unnecessary, and was the result 
 of bad management on the part of the seconds." 
 
 President Davis of the Confederate States, differs with General 
 Frost, as you will see before I get through. The charge that through 
 my mismanagement, my best friend had been killed, would have long 
 since driven me mad, had I thought it well founded. And yet, God 
 help me, it may have been so. But you shall hear the story — "nothing 
 extenuating, nor aught set down in malice." 
 
 A few days prior to the evacuation of Little Rock by General Price 
 it will be remembered that General Steele's advance forces were met 
 at Reed's Bridge, on Bayou Meto, on the old military road, twelve

 miles from Little Bock, by Price's cavalry, under the command of 
 General L. M. Walker, General Marmaduke commanding one brigade 
 and Colonel E. C. Newton the other. Generals Walker and Marma- 
 duke were both Brigadiers, but the latter ranked the former by senior- 
 ity of commission. After the battle, in which the Federals were re- 
 pulsed, our forces fell back toward Little Eock, General Walker still 
 in command, whose quarters were at the "Eobinson Place," five miles 
 from Little Eock, on the same road. A day or two after the battle, 
 a member of General Marmaduke's staff, accompanied by a stranger, 
 whose name is not recollected, rode up to General Walker's headquar- 
 ters and stopped to dine. After dinner, this gentleman insisted that 
 General Walker and myself should accompany them to the city. Gen- 
 eral Walker asked Major Eagiand (his quartermaster) and myself if 
 we would like to go, to which we both agreed, and our horses were 
 ordered. 
 
 After starting, General Walker and the stranger rode on together, 
 leaving Major Eagiand, the officer and myself riding together in the 
 rear. He (General Marmaduke's aide) said to us: "Who do you 
 say won the fight at Seed's Bridge ?" To which I replied that Gen- 
 eral Walker was in command, and of course, was entitled to whatever 
 credit there be, but the boys who did the fighting won the battle." To 
 which he said, somewhat hastily, "Eo, General Marmaduke won the 
 
 battle, and he says General Walker acted the d d coward. Mind 
 
 you, I do not say General Walker is a coward, but General Marma- 
 duke says so." To this, Major Eagiand and myself made no reply 
 until we had nearly reached General Marmaduke's headquarters, and 
 stopped on the creek to let our horses drink, when I said to him: 
 "Do you remember what you said a little way back of General Mar- 
 maduke's charge againest General Walker?" His answer was: 
 "Perfectly well, but remember I don't say General Walker is a 
 
 d d coward, but General Marmaduke does, and if I was not on 
 
 General Marmaduke's staff, I would like to be on General Walker's." 
 
 WALKER INFORMED. 
 
 General Walker, all unconscious of the charge, stopped at General 
 Marmaduke's headquarters, whom we found to be absent at Little 
 Eock. I called Captain William Price, a cousin of General Marma- 
 duke, and one of his aides, aside, and stated to him what his brother 
 staff officer had said. His reply was : "For God's sake, Colonel, don't 
 pay any attention to it ! Your informant is drinking, and don't 
 
542 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 know what he says ; General Marmaduke, I am sure, never made any 
 such remark." 
 
 Just as we ( General Walker, Major Eagland and myself) were 
 preparing to mount, a lady drove up to the headquarters, with whom 
 I had a few moments conversation, necessarily delaying me, and Gen- 
 eral Walker and Major Eagland had got some distance ahead of me 
 before I started. On overtaking them, I found to my regret, that 
 Major Eagland had communicated to General Walker the conversa- 
 tion which had passed between General Marmaduke's staff officer and 
 myself, for I had hoped to keep it from him, until I could get it more 
 reliably. As I rode up, General Walker turned to me, his face wear- 
 ing its usual smile, and said : 
 
 "Bob, is it so?" 
 
 "What, Marsh?" (We were so intimate that in private, we dropped 
 titles.) 
 
 "What Eagland tells me — that General Marmaduke has denounced 
 me as a coward?" 
 
 "Yes, old man, but Billy Price says that our informant is off his 
 balance to-day, and not reliable. I am sorry Eagland has repeated 
 the report to you. I wanted to investigate it a little, and if the charge 
 was actually made by General Marmaduke, to get it in reliable shape 
 before communicating it to you." 
 
 At this time we saw General Marmaduke and several members of 
 his staff returning from Little Eock. I suggested to General Walker 
 that what he had heard was "not matter for a street brawl," to which 
 he replied, "Don't be uneasy, Bob." When they met, they saluted 
 each other pleasantly, and after the usual courtesies, General Walker 
 remarked, "I have been ordered across the river with my brigade." 
 General Marmaduke replied, "And I have been ordered to remain on 
 this side." "Well," said General Walker, "I hope you may have a 
 pleasant time," and saluting, we rode on. 
 
 Coming into the city, we received orders from Adjutant-General 
 Snead to remove our brigade across at Terry's Ferry, to the south side 
 of the river, nine miles below Little Eock, and returning to headquar- 
 ters, we moved five miles that evening, going into camp on that side 
 of the river. After supper, General Walker requested me to take a 
 walk with him, and said to me : 
 
 "Crockett, I cannot submit to this charge of Marmaduke, and I 
 want you to take a note to him early in the morning." 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 543 
 
 I replied, "Marsh, consider the condition of our informant, and 
 Captain Price assures me that General Marmaduke made no such 
 remark ; let's wait until we get it in more reliable shape." 
 
 He said, "I cannot wait ; I am satisfied that Marmaduke made the 
 charge, and I must demand an explanation, or else resign my com- 
 mission in the army." 
 
 "All right," I answered, "but get General F. or some friend of your 
 own rank, to represent you in the matter, and conduct your corres- 
 pondence ; I shrink from the responsibility." 
 
 He put his arm around my neck, and said, "Bob, old boy, I had 
 rather trust you than any of them, and I make it a test of your 
 friendship." 
 
 What could I do? I replied, "All right, Marsh, sleep on it to- 
 night, and to-morrow morning, I am at your service for whatever you 
 desire me to do." 
 
 THE CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 The next morning he said to me : "Bob, I must do this thing, or 
 else lose the respect of the men under my command. He requested 
 me to write to General Marmaduke and ask if the report was true. T 
 wrote for him as near as I can remember, the following note : 
 
 "General J. S. Marmaduke: 
 
 Sir : — I have been informed that you have pronounced me a cow- 
 ard, and that I so acted in the Battle of Keed's Bridge. Please inform 
 me if you have been correctly reported. This note will be handed by 
 my friend, Colonel Eobert H. Crockett. 
 
 (Signed) L. M. Walker." 
 
 This note I delivered to General Marmaduke in person at his head- 
 quarters. He read it, and said: "This is all right. Tell General 
 Walker I will give him a reply as soon as possible." 
 
 In the meantime, General Walker with his command had crossed 
 the river and camped near Terry's Ferry, eight or nine miles below 
 Little Eock. On the next day, Captain J ohn C. Moore, a member of 
 General Marmaduke's staff, came into our camp, bearing as near as 
 I can remember, the following note : 
 
 "General L. M. Walker: 
 
 Sir: — Yours of date by your friend, Colonel Crockett, re- 
 ceived at hour, and would have received an early reply, but that 
 
 I had to visit my outposts. While I deny your right to demand of me 
 
544 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 an explanation of remarks founded on public rumor, I am frank to 
 say that your conduct in the fight at Eeed's Bridge was of such a na- 
 ture, that I declined to serve longer under you, and have so informed 
 Adjutant-General Snead. This will be handed you by my friend, 
 Captain John C. Moore. 
 
 Very respectfully your obedient servant, 
 
 J. S. Marmaduke." 
 
 Walker insisted that I challenge on this, but instead I sent the fol- 
 lowing reply for General Walker : 
 
 "General J. S. Marmaduke: 
 
 Sir : — Yours of date by your friend, Captain John C. Moore, 
 
 received at hour, in which you reply to my note, that 'My con- 
 duct in the retreat from Brownsville, and in the fight at Eeed's 
 Bridge, was of such a nature, that you declined to serve any longer 
 under me, etc/ 
 
 This language is susceptible of various contractions, and unsatis- 
 factory, and I therefore demand an explicit answer to the interroga- 
 tion contained in my first note. This will be handed you by my 
 friend, Colonel Crockett. I have the honor to be, 
 
 Your obedient servant, etc., 
 
 L. M. Walker." 
 
 This note was delivered without delay, and at the request of Cap- 
 tain Moore, I came to the Anthony House in Little Eock to await an 
 answer. In a short time, Captain Moore came to the hotel, and sent 
 to my room, the following : 
 
 "Colonel R. H. Crockett: 
 
 Dear Sir : — General Walker's note of date, General Marma- 
 duke received at hour. General Marmaduke, while denying 
 
 having used the specific term, 'coward' in reference to General 
 Walker's conduct, yet he holds himself responsible for any inference 
 of that nature, which may have been drawn from his remarks, predi- 
 cated on General Walker's somewhat more than prudent care in the 
 avoidance of all positions of danger in the Battle of Eeeds Bridge, 
 and his refusal to come upon the field, when requested by General 
 Marmaduke to do so. 
 
 I have the honor to be, Colonel, your obedient servant, 
 
 John C. Moore."

 THE CHALLENGE. 
 
 My answer to the above was as follows : 
 "Captain John C. Moore: 
 
 Dear Sir : — Your note of this date, received at hour, in re- 
 ply to General Walker's note to General Marmaduke. It presents 
 but one alternative. As the friend of General Walker, and without 
 consultation with him. I have the honor to demand of General Mar- 
 maduke, through you. the satisfaction due to a gentleman for the in- 
 sult offered. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, etc..

 The reply to the above was as follows : 
 
 "Colonel E. E. Crockett:

 of General Marniaduke, in behalf of General Walker, the satisfaction 
 for an insult offered. I take pleasure in according General Walker 
 the satisfaction demanded. Please meet me at your earliest conven- 
 ience, that we may arrange preliminaries for a speedy meeting. 
 I have the honor to be. very respectfully, 
 
 John C. Moobm." 
 
 I sent a request to Captain Moore to come to my room, which he 
 promptly did, and Ave selected there our advising friends, he choosing 
 Captain William M. Price, of General Marmaduke's staff, and I tak- 
 ing Major John C. King. Captain Moore then wrote the following 
 agreement of the meeting : 
 
 THE AGREEMENT. 
 
 "General J. S. Marmaduke agrees to meet General L. M. Walker 
 on the following terms, to- wit : 
 
 Principals, seconds, advising friends and surgeons to come on the 
 field with side-arms. 
 
 Weapons to be Coifs navy sixes, and to be loaded on the field. 
 
 Seconds to toss for choice of word and position. 
 
 Principals to be placed at fifteen paces apart. 
 
 Weapons to be placed in the hands of the principals, cocked, and 
 to be held at an angle of forty-five degrees up or down, as each may 
 choose. 
 
 The word to be. ''Gentlemen, are you ready' ? 
 
 If both answer in the affirmative, the second bavins: the call shall

 say: 'Beady — one, two, three — fire/ After the word, 'fire/ parties 
 may fire at will, without leaving their places, until all the chambers 
 are exhausted, or one of the parties shall fall, when the command, 
 'stop/ shall be given. 
 
 jSTo one to be on the field, except the principals, seconds, advising 
 friends and surgeons. 
 
 Any infringement of these rules, whether by the principals, sec- 
 onds, advising friends or surgeons, shall subject the person so infring- 
 ing to be shot on the spot. 
 
 Parties to meet at the Godfrey Le Fevre Place, seven miles below 
 Little Bock, on the north side of the Arkansas Biver. 
 
 The meeting to take place between daylight and sunrise on to- 
 morrow morning. 
 
 (Signed) J. S. Marmaduke, 
 
 By his friend, John C. Moore. 
 
 L. M. Walker, 
 By his friend, B. H. Crockett." 
 
 It should be remembered that the above correspondence is from 
 memory, and errors, if any, are excusable by the lapse of years, but it 
 is believed that they are almost verbatim copies. 
 
 By the time the preliminaries were completed, it was midnight. 
 Taking my friend, John C. King, and a surgeon whose name I do not 
 remember, we rode down to General Walkers headquarters, reaching 
 there about three hours before day. Arousing him from a sound 
 sleep, I submitted to his inspection, the correspondence. His only 
 remark on reading it over, was: "All right, Bob, but you should 
 have challenged on the first note, as I desired you to do." 
 
 I answered him : "Never mind, Marsh, my responsibility is heavy 
 enough as it is." 
 
 WALKER SHOT. 
 
 He ordered the horses saddled. Calling up his servant and a guide, 
 we mounted, and, preceded by the guide, forded the river on horse- 
 back by starlight — a dangerous undertaking, as five feet either way, 
 would have put us in the quicksand, which might have resulted in loss 
 of life. Crossing the river safely, we reached the old "La Fevre man- 
 sion" one hour before daybreak, which was occupied by two ladies, of 
 whom we requested the use of a room, which was promptly accorded. 
 
 Just as it was dawning, General Marmaduke, his second, advising 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 547 
 
 friend and a surgeon, accompanied by an ambulance, arrived, and 
 were assigned to another room. As soon as it was light enough to see, 
 Captain Moore and myself walked out one or two hundred yards from 
 the house, and selected the ground in an open grove of heavy timber. 
 We stepped the distance, and placed a chunk of wood to mark the 
 positions to be occupied by our principals, making them north and 
 south, so as to give neither of them the advantage of position on ac- 
 count of the rising sun. 
 
 We then returned to the house and accompanied our principals to 
 the ground, by which time it was light enough to see how to shoot. 
 
 On meeting, Generals Marmaduke and Walker saluted each other 
 with the greatest courtes}^ standing a few paces apart, General Mar- 
 maduke with his arms folded, and General Walker with a toothpick 
 between his lips, calm and smiling as he always was. The advising 
 friends, King and Price sat down on a log, side by side, and loaded 
 the weapons — regular navy sixes, old style — while Captain Moore and 
 myself tossed a silver half-dollar for the choice of position and the 
 word. Captain Moore, being the winner, one toss decided both. 
 
 The principals were placed in position, pistols in hand, the seconds 
 taking positions two paces to the right and left of the line of fire. 
 
 At the word, both parties fired, the sound being simultaneous, and 
 neither was hurt. There was a pause of perhaps a second, and then 
 General Marma duke's pistol rang out, and the ball striking General 
 Walker in the side, he fell on his back, his pistol exploding as he fell. 
 Captain Moore forgot to give the word " Stop," and I gave it for him, 
 for which he afterwards thanked me. At the word, General Marma- 
 duke lowered his pistol. 
 
 I rushed to General Walker, and kneeling beside him, inquired if 
 he was hurt. He said, "Yes, Bob, I am a dead man ; my legs are dead 
 already," still smiling, and without a groan escaping his lips. 
 
 Our surgeon coming to his aid, I arose to my feet, when Captain 
 Moore approached and said: "Colonel, General Marmaduke desires 
 to speak with you." I walked toward General Marmaduke, who still 
 retained his position, and he said to me : "Colonel Crockett, are you 
 satisfied with my conduct ?" 
 I replied : "I am, General." 
 
 "Have I permission to leave my position?" he then asked, and T 
 answered him: "Certainly, sir, my principal, is I fear, mortally 
 wounded, and not in condition for further combat." 
 
548 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 I turned to go back to General Walker, when Captain Moore again 
 called to me, and said : "Colonel, General Marmaduke desires me to 
 tender to you the services of our surgeons, and the use of our ambul- 
 ance." 
 
 In answer, I said: "In behalf of General Walker, I thank Gen- 
 eral Marmaduke for his courtesy, and gratefully accept the use of his 
 ambulance, as we forded the river on horseback, and have no convey- 
 ance in which we can transport General Walker to Little Eock, but 
 we do not need the services of the surgeon, as we are already provided 
 with one." 
 
 A FATAL WOUND. 
 
 A hasty examination by the surgeon developed that the wound was 
 fatal, the ball having passed through the right kidney and lodged in 
 the spine, producing paralysis of the lower extremities. General 
 Walker was placed in the ambulance on his back. I seated myself on 
 the floor, taking his head in my lap, while his faithful negro servant 
 stripped his feet, and bathing them with his tears, vainly attempted 
 to chafe them back to life. 
 
 I was crying like a baby — it was the saddest experience of my life. 
 As we were coming up to the city, General Walker, evidently in great 
 pain, looked up to me, and said : "Bob, did I hit him ?" 
 
 I said : "No, Marsh, I think not." 
 
 "Thank God, I am glad of it !" he said. "He will yet live to do 
 his country service." 
 
 We reached Little Eock at ten o'clock in the morning, stopping at 
 the residence of Mrs. Cates (mother of Pratt Cates), where General 
 Walker lived until the next evening. 
 
 After his death and burial, I addressed the following note to Gen- 
 eral Marmaduke: 
 
 "General J. S. Marmaduke: 
 
 Sir: — General Walker, before his death, requested me to see you 
 in person and assure you that before taking the last sacrament, he sin- 
 cerely forgave you for his death, and desired his friends and relations 
 also to forgive you, and neither persecute nor prosecute you. You 
 will readily understand, General, why I take this method of convey- 
 ing to you in preference to a personal interview. 
 I have the honor to be, etc., 
 
 (Signed) E. H. Crockett." 
 
JOHN WALKER.

 I received no reply to this letter, and of course, expected none. All 
 the parties connected with the duel were placed under arrest, but at 
 their own request were released during the fight at Little Eock, and 
 the retreat therefrom, and at Arkadelphia, we were finally released 
 without trial and ordered back to our respective commands. 
 
 After the war closed, I met Ex-President Davis of the Confederacy, 
 at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, and in conversation with him, he 
 said : " By the way, Colonel, were you not General Walker's second 
 in the Marma duke- Walker duel?" 
 
 "Yes, sir, and we were released without trial, as we understood at 
 the time, by your order, and it was stated you remarked after reading 
 the correspondence, that the duel was unavoidable, and there was no 
 necessity for a court martial. Do you remember, Mr. Davis, having 
 made such a remark?" 
 
 "Not as to the exact words," he replied, ff but I thought then, and 
 say now that no man can hold a commission in the army while lying 
 under an imputation of cowardice on the battle field from a brother 
 officer. Without knowing the grounds on which General Marmaduke 
 impugned General Walker I can say now, as I thought then, that 
 General Walker must have exacted satisfaction for the charge, or else 
 have left the army. Had it been known to me that any officer in the 
 Confederate army had been charged with cowardice, and had not re- 
 sented it, I, as commander-in-chief of the army, would have suggest- 
 ed to him, the propriety of his resignation. Soldiers are efficient only 
 when commanded by officers in whose courage they have implicit 
 confidence." 
 
 SUSAN Walker 3 (3540) (Joseph 2 , John 1 ) ; daughter of Joseph 
 and Nancy McClung Walker; b. Aug. 20, 1762, in Virginia; m. 
 James McCrosky in May, 1789. He was b. Jan. 1, 1760. It is stated 
 upon good authority that James McCrosky was a Eevolutionary sol- 
 dier. (See following sketch.) He was 18 years old in 1776. They 
 both d. in Oct., 1835, she at the age of 73, and he at the age of 76. 
 They lived for many years near Georgetown, Scott County, Ky., 
 where he died. 
 
 William B. McCrosky furnishes the following account of the Mc- 
 Crosky family : 
 
 My grandfather lived in Eockingham County, Va,, during the Eev- 
 olutionary War period. There was, I think, four brothers in the first 
 
550 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 f amity : James, J ohm William and I have forgotten the name of the 
 fourth brother. William was my father. James lived and died in 
 Kentucky in the year 1841 or 1842. Father hearing of his illness 
 went to visit him. I think cousin James was there at the time of 
 uncle's death. 
 
 One uncle went to Pennsjdvania and one went to Tennessee. Un- 
 cle James lived quite a distance from Lexington. Grandfather Blair 
 McCrosky settled 8 miles northeast of Lexington; his farm joined 
 Governor Shelby's on the east. My aunt and family were still on the 
 farm when I visited it in 1856. She was the wife of David McCros- 
 ky, father's half-brother (I think). He had only been dead a few 
 years in 1856. Their house was the first hewed log house with shin- 
 gle roof built in the county. The first roof was put on by boring gim- 
 let holes through the shingles and lath and pinning in place with 
 wooden pegs. The house was built in 1784, of black locust logs, with 
 good foundation and chimney of stone. It still stands seemingly as 
 good as when built. I think James McCrosky of Myers, Fla. (who 
 m. Sophia Lord Barber), is a grandson of Uncle James McCrosky 
 (who m. Susan Walker, granddaughter of the emigrant John). 
 
 L T ncle James McCrosky was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, 
 and was standing beside Washington when Cornwallis handed him 
 his sword. I do not remember of hearing of the death of Uncle 
 James, but I heard of the family leaving Illinois, and going to Cleve- 
 land, 0. I also heard he had a son in Tecumseh, Neb., and two 
 daughters in Washington, D. C. My understanding was that their 
 husbands held government offices.

 HOUSTON FAMILY. 
 
 Memorial of Rev. Samuel E. Houston, D. D., read before the 
 Synod of Virginia, Nov. 3, 1887 : 
 
 The Rev. Samuel Rutherford Houston, D. D., after a long life of 
 eminent piety and earnest labors for Christ, died at his home in 
 Monroe County, West Virginia, on the 29th of January, 1887. 
 
 He was born near the Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County, Vir- 
 ginia, March 12, 1806. His father was the Rev. Samuel Houston, 
 who for many years was the pastor of High Bridge and Falling 
 Spring Churches in Rockbridge County, Virginia. On his mother's 
 side he could trace his ancestry back through seven generations to 
 the illustrious Samuel Rutherford of Scotland, for whom he was 
 named. 
 
 He was gifted with a high order of talents, and his requirements 
 as a scholar were extraordinary both for their extent and thorough- 
 ness. These were generally concealed by his modesty, but when oc- 
 casion demanded, they showed themselves, often to the astonishment 
 of his most intimate acquaintances. 
 
 To his intellectual attainments were added elegance of person, a 
 face that beamed with benevolence, and dignity and simplicity of 
 character which commanded reverence as well as confidence. 
 
 He received his first academic instructions from his father, and 
 at the age of sixteen he entered Dickenson College, Pa. He gradu- 
 ated in the twentieth year of his age. After leaving college he was 
 engaged the next six years as an instructor in the Deaf and Dumb 
 Asylum in Philadelphia. This experience gave him a love for the 
 language and sign of mutes, and throughout life he embraced every 
 opportunity of preaching to the deaf and dumb and conversing with 
 them wherever he met them. 
 
 In the year 1831 he began his study for the ministry at Princeton 
 Theological Seminary, but owing to the prevalence of an epidemic, 
 he left Princeton and went to Union Seminary, Virginia, where he 
 completed his course in 1834. He was soon after licensed to preach 
 by the Lexington Presbytery and ordained to go as a missionary to 
 the foreign field. He was stationed for a few months on the island 
 of Scio, and was then directed to Areopolis in southern Greece. 
 There he and the Rev. George Seyburn commenced their labors to- 
 gether of teaching and preaching the gospel. After four years, in 
 which they had established a successful school and laid the founda- 
 
JOHN WALKEIi. 
 
 571 
 
 tion of a hopeful missionary work, Mr. Houston was compelled, on 
 account of his wife's declining health, to remove to Egypt for a bet- 
 ter climate. While here he supplied the place of the chaplain of the 
 Church of England for six months by the invitation of the British 
 Consul. The expected advantages of climate were not realized and 
 he had to resign to the hands of death the beloved partner of his 
 trials and lay her in a foreign grave. He returned again to his work 
 in Greece, but the critical condition of little Rutherford, his only 
 living child, required his return to America. He arrived amongst 
 his friends in this country in 1841. After spending some time in 
 visiting the churches, he married again, with the full purpose of 
 going back to the mission in Greece. But before setting out medical 
 counsel decided that Mrs. Houston's health would not permit her 
 to live in southern Greece. This he regarded as the voice of Provi- 
 dence assigning him to his work in the field at home. 
 
 In 1842 he became pastor of the churches of Union and Mt. Pleas- 
 ant, Monroe Count}', West Virginia. There for forty-four years he 
 abounded in labors and gathered many souls into the Kingdom. 
 Frequently his churches were blessed with seasons of refreshing in 
 which large numbers were added to the Lord. 
 
 During his long ministry he gTew into the affection of his people, 
 until in the latter years of his life he enjoyed their confidence and 
 love to such a degree that they seemed anxious that every wish of 
 his should be gratified. Xo people were ever blessed with a more 
 faithful and instructive minister. He loved to study and explain 
 the word of God, and during his long pastorate he expounded every 
 part of the Bible to his people. He gloried in the cross and his heart 
 glowed with love to the Eedeemer, and he made all his expositions of 
 the scriptures bear upon Christ and Him crucified. Almost every 
 sermon was a finished production and delivered with an eloquence 
 and an unction that would have charmed and impressed the most 
 cultured and learned audience. Those who have heard him preach 
 during a series of services under the special presence of the Holy 
 Spirit have heard specimens of pulpit eloquence and power of the 
 highest order. 
 
 As a pastor he was unsurpassed in his adaptation to men of differ- 
 ent classes or to persons in different circumstances. He knew just 
 how to bring Christ to the bedside of the sick, to the hearts of the 
 afflicted or to the mind of the inquiring sinner.

 He was the most profitable and pleasant of companions. His well 
 stored mind, his great fund of incident and his genial spirit made 
 him entertaining and attractive to all. 
 
 Few men leave behind them such a record of a holy, useful life ; 
 few receive such unusual testimony to their excellence. Yet he was 
 wholly unconscious of any greatness or superiority in himself. He 
 leaned upon Christ for wisdom, strength and righteousness, and 
 looked to him as the source of all excellence. The last words found 
 written in his diary were these : "There never was such a glorious 
 person as Jesus Christ ; never such a glorious doctrine as the doctrine 
 of the Cross."

 REMARKS OF REV. JOS. A. WADDELL, MODERATOR. 
 
 I cannot forbear from adding to the beautiful tribute just read a 
 word or two of personal testimony to the character of the subject. 
 I have ever regarded Dr. Houston as my father in the ministry, hav- 
 ing under his advice dedicated my life to the service and made my 
 preparation for it with the aid of his counsel and example. Fre- 
 quent observation and intercourse with him impressed me with his 
 apparent exemption from almost all those imperfections which are 
 observed in other men. 
 
 His physical manhood seemed to have been cast in a mould of ex- 
 quisite proportions. It was noble, dignified and commanding ; and 
 his intellectual, moral and spiritual being seemed in all respects to 
 correspond with the form and bearing of the external man. The im- 
 pression given from day to day that he was a rounded character, 
 granded and purer than a transient observation would suggest. 
 
 My testimony can add nothing to his merits, but it gratifies the 
 speaker to pay this brief tribute to his name and memory. It is 
 right and just that one too modest in life to challenge the admiration 
 of his contemporaries should receive after his departure the com- 
 mendation he had so nobly won. 
 
 REMARKS OF REV. DR. WILLIAM BROWN. 
 
 It is not in my power to add anything to what has already been 
 said in reference to this venerable man of God, who has been taken 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 573 
 
 from us. But it is at least a personal gratification to give some ex- 
 pression to the feelings which are in my heart to-day. There is a 
 reason for this which is somewhat special. The mother of Dr. Hous- 
 ton and my own mother were near kindred to each other, and when 
 my mother was brought back from her captivity her home was with 
 the father of Dr. Houston's mother. In this way they were brought 
 up together more like sisters than cousins. 
 
 My earliest recollection goes back to 1821 or 1822. He came with 
 his father to attend a sacramental meeting at New Providence. 
 There was at that time a wonderful religious awakening in Eock- 
 bridge County, and about fifty persons sat down together for the first 
 time, at the Lord's table. It was truly a time of the right hand of 
 the Most High. It was about tins time that Samuel Rutherford 
 Houston and George Seyburn, both in the freshness of youth, made 
 a public profession of religion. This fact, wherever known, made a 
 deep impression. 
 
 It was not my privilege to see a great deal of Mr. Houston in after 
 years, but it may be said that I knew him well. He was a noble ex- 
 ample of what a Christian gentleman and minister ought to be. He 
 had an excellent mind well stored with theological and literary fur- 
 niture. He was a man of quick sensibilities, true and courageous 
 where his convictions of duty were concerned, yet with a heart ten- 
 der, sympathetic and gentle. He was eminently a lover of peace. 
 His piety was of the best sort, thorough, scriptural and consistent 
 through all his life. He was one of the most powerful preachers in 
 the Synod of Virginia, and his ministry was greatly blessed. It 
 would be hard to point to any minister that inspired more respect 
 and affection where he was known. His loss to his family and the 
 church is great. But it is the privilege of the weary to go home and 
 rest when the work of life is over. Our brother now rests from his 
 labors and his works do follow him. Let us bless God for all that 
 he was both by nature and grace ; for all that he now is ; and for all 
 that he will be in the Kingdom of Glory, world without end. Amen. 
 
 Taken from Foote's Sketches of Virginia: — 
 
 Mr. Houston was born on Hay's Creek, in the congregation of 
 New Providence. In his letter to Mr. Morrison, he gives a few pleas- 
 ant facts respecting his ancestry. His parents' names were John 
 Houston and Sally Todd. His father was for many years an elder 
 in New Providence. In his old age he removed to Tennessee, and 
 
574 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 died at about four score years. While an infant, Mr. Samuel Hous- 
 ton was exceedingly feeble; on more than one occasion he was laid 
 down supposed to be dying. As he increased in years he became 
 vigorous; and through a long life enjoyed almost uninterrupted 
 health. In his manhood he was tall, erect, square shouldered, spare 
 and active; particular in his dress and dignified in his deportment. 
 After he became a minister, he never seemed to forget that he was a 
 minister of the Lord J esus, and that all parts of his office were hon- 
 orable. All duties devolving upon him by custom, or by the voice of 
 his brethren, he cheerfully performed to the utmost of his ability. 
 From his deference to those of greater acquirements, or more ample 
 endowments of mind, or more maturity of age, and his unobstrusive- 
 ness upon the public, strangers might have concluded that he was 
 a timid man. And when called to act, and his line of duty led him 
 to face opposition, in whatever form it might come, his imperturba- 
 bility might, by a casual observer, have been considered want of feel- 
 ing. But his kindness and benevolence in the relations of life dem- 
 onstrated the depth of feeling in his heart; and his acquaintances 
 knew him to be pure in his principles, warm in his affections, and 
 unflinching in his bravery. A man was sure of a firm friend, if he 
 could convince Samuel Houston it was his duty to stand by him. 
 His whole apearance and bearing were those of an honest man. His 
 classical education was completed during the troubles and confus- 
 ions of the American Eevolution, and about the time of the removal 
 of Liberty Hall Academy to the neighborhood of Lexington. In 
 1781 a call came for militia to assist Greene against Cornwallis. The 
 memorable Battle of the Cowpens had been fought, and Morgan, 
 under protection of Greene's retreating army, had escaped with the 
 prisoners to Virginia. Cornwallis had encamped at Hillsborough, 
 and Greene was waiting near the Virginia line for reinforcements 
 to drive his pursuer, Cornwallis, back to South Carolina or overcome 
 him in battle. Samuel Houston was called to go as a private from 
 the congregation of New Providence, in his 23rd year. Arrested in 
 his studies preparatory to the ministry, he went cheerfully, with 
 others, to try the labors and exposures of camp. After his death 
 there was found among his papers a manuscript of foolscap, folded 
 down to sixteen leaves a sheet, on which were memoranda of his 
 campaign, covering about the one-half of a sheet of the large size, 
 then in use. He notices all that appeared to him worthy of special

 mention, and as remembrances of all that occurred, no better de- 
 scription of a militia force in its "weakness and efficiency has been 
 left ns from the experience of the Revolution. The beginning is 
 abrupt ; no mention being made of the draft or the officers in com- 
 mand, or the object of the expedition. (For extracts from this diary, 
 see pages 486-488 of this work.) 
 
 The Rev. Samuel Houston, in answer to some inquiries made by 
 the Rev. James Morrison, the third pastor of Few Providence, gave 
 in writing the origin of the congregation. He begins with the grants 
 to Beverly and Burden. "The dividing line between their grants 
 crossed the valley near where New Providence Church now stands. " 
 
 "Those families that came first were nearly connected or large fam- 
 ilies. For comfort and for safety they generally settled near each 
 other, and with the understanding that as soon as practicable they 
 might have schools for their children, and form religious societies 
 and have places of public worship. Those first settlers in the valley 
 were mostly Presbyterians ; but those in New Providence, I believe 
 were wholly so, at least in name. Near the South Mountain, there 
 were several families by the name of Moore; others of Steel; near 
 them, McClung, Fulton and Beard ; and then a little further on, my 
 grandfather, John Houston, and his brother-in-law, John Mont- 
 gomery, and some by the name of Eaken. Near the middle of the 
 valley, on Kennedy's Creek and its branches, were the Kennedys 
 Wardlaws, Logans, and another line of Steels, Edmundsons, Bucha- 
 nans, Pattons, Millars and Stephensons. Toward the North Moun- 
 tain, on Haws and Walkers Creeks, were two families of Hays, three 
 or four Walkers of the same stock, and their brother-in-law, James 
 Moore; two families of Robinsons, one each of Kelly, Hudson, 
 Thompson and Smiley and two of Rheas. In the midst were three 
 of the Berry family, one of Tedford, one of Mc Campbell, two or 
 three McCroskys and a Coalter family. In the course of a few years 
 other families came and settled among them. Their names were 
 McNutt, Weir, Campbell, Wilson, Anderson, Culton, Henry, Lowry, 
 and another stock of Edmundsons, and one family named Todd, my 
 grandfather on my mothers side; two of the name of Stuart, one 
 each of Alexander, Cowder, Gray, Jamieson, and two Pattons. Of 
 all these families, by intermarriages, other families were soon form- 
 ed; also others coming in. 
 
 "The above settlers commenced, at least many of them, in the 
 
576

 woods, and in much fear from savages and wild beasts. Hence, at 
 my grandfather's house, which was some distance from the South 
 Mountain, but nearer it than the western side of the settlement, and 
 a house most convenient for the whole settlement to collect their 
 families together in case of an invasion, the settlers erected a stock- 
 ade fort, the remainder of which I saw around the yard when I was 
 a boy. Near to the fort, at a place then, and now, called Old Provi- 
 dence, they erected a log meeting house, and had worship occasion- 
 ally by supplies from Pennsylvania. In those early days, the popu- 
 lation of Timber Ridge united with Providence to get supplies, in- 
 tending as soon as they could, to have a settled pastor between them. 
 The lower settlement on Hay's Creek and Walker's Creek, felt them- 
 selves too distant from Old Providence, and urged a more central 
 place between the mountains, and proposed the place, now near 
 Witherow's Mansion. My grandfather prevailed upon his neighbors 
 to meet them at the new site; accordingly a log meeting house was 
 erected on the southern side of the creek. The united congregations 
 of Timber Eidge and New Providence called Mr. John Brown, and 
 he was installed as their pastor. The first elders were a Mr. Millar, 
 Andrew Hays, John Logan, Samuel Buchanan, Alexander Walker, 
 my grandfather John Houston, and Andrew Steel. After the con- 
 gregation had agreed upon a site for the new church, having had 
 much difficulty in becoming united in the choice, it was proposed 
 to adopt a name. My aged ancestor said, 'Neighbors, we have hith- 
 erto had unpleasant and fruitless meetings; to-day we have had an 
 agreeable and successful one, and we are indebted to a kind Provi- 
 dence ; let us call it New Providence,' to which all agreed. Then, or 
 soon afterwards, they united in efforts, some contributing, others 
 laboring, until they finished the stone walls, roof, doors, windows 
 and floor, and set in benches and a temporary pulpit, and then rested 
 for some years until I was a boy capable of observation ; for well do 
 I remember sitting in my father's seat and seeing the swallows fly- 
 ing in and out during public worship, to feed their young ones, in 
 nests upon the collar beams and wall plates, or cavities in the stone 
 work. When the people, after some years, finished the work by mak- 
 ing a pulpit with a canopy, a gallery, and by glazing the windows, 
 he says, 'the elders were Andrew Hays, John Logan, Alexander 
 Walker, John Houston (my father), Saunders Walker, and soon 
 after James Henry, Charles Campbell and James McCampbell/

 "About the year 1763, an unhappy difference took place between 
 the pastor, Mr. Brown, and some of the leading men in Timber 
 Eidge congregation, on account of which Mr. Brown talked of re- 
 moving. This deeply affected many of the New Providence congre- 
 gation. But at last they agreed to retain his labors entirely, and on 
 his accepting £80 salary from them alone, his connection and theirs 
 with Timber Eidge was dissolved. Mr. Brown's labors were con- 
 tinued harmoniously in New Providence, until his powers of body 
 failed, especially his voice. Therefore mutually he and the congre- 
 gation agreed for him to be relieved by the congregation becoming 
 vacant, and another called, ail which was in due order effected ; and 
 in a short time his successor, Mr. Samuel Brown, was called and in- 
 stalled as their pastor, which brings us down to the year 1796. 
 
 "A few remarks and I am done. After Mr. J. B. Brown left Tim- 
 ber Eidge many of said congregation retained much affection for 
 him, and through much inconvenience attended almost steadily New 
 Providence meetings and communions as formerly. Another remark 
 is, that before the struggle for independence took place, New Provi- 
 dence kept, the Sabbath with great strictness, and family worship 
 was almost universal. Another remark is, that shortly before the 
 war, some men, whose sons were growing up, felt a desire for having 
 them, or part of them, educated liberally, chiefly with a view to the 
 ministry of the gospel. Accordingly a small grammar school was 
 formed in the neighborhood of Old Providence, composed of Samuel 
 Doak, John Montgomery, Archibald Alexander, James Houston, 
 William Tate, Samuel Greenlee, William Wilson, and others, winch 
 greatly increased and drew youths from distant neighborhoods. This 
 grammar school was moved to the place near Fairfield, called Mount 
 Pleasant; it was, in 1776, established at Timber Eidge meeting 
 house, and named Liberty Hall. Sincerely yours, 
 
 S. Houston." 
 
 Tradition says that the first work after building log cabins for 
 themselves, was to erect a capacious meeting house. For perman- 
 ency and dignity they determined it should be of stone. Limestone 
 for mortar could be found in any abundance, but sand was brought 
 on pack horses six or seven miles from the stream called South Fork. 
 Nails and glass were brought in the same way from Philadelphia. 
 A sycamore, for a long time the only one in the neighborhood, 
 sprung from the bank of refuse brought from a stream where the

 tree abounds. The succeeding generations knew the old sycamore, 
 enjoying its shade on Sabbath noon. So intent were many of the 
 people of New Providence that their house of worship should be 
 properly finished, that they forebore not only luxuries, but what are 
 now esteemed the necessaries of housewifery. One old lady apol- 
 ogized to some company that came to eat with her, for not accom- 
 modating more at a time at the table, and requiring them to eat by 
 turns, that all might have the benefit of her few knives and forks, 
 by saying, "We intended to have got a set of knives this year, but 
 the meeting house was to be finished, and we could not give our 
 share and get the knives, so we put them off for another year." The 
 only pair of wheels in the congregation for many years was made to 
 draw timbers for the church. In their private concerns the drag 
 and sled sufficed. 
 
 The name of the first teacher has been preserved, but not those of 
 his successors, till William Graham and John Montgomery; these 
 are preserved in the records of Presbytery. It does not appear that 
 Mr. J. Brown ever himself engaged in teaching the school which for 
 years was in operation about a mile from his dwelling, in which his 
 elder children received their education, preparatory for those posts 
 of honor conferred upon them by the community. 
 
 The people of New Providence were visited by the missionaries 
 sent out by the Presbyteries of the Synod of New York, and May 
 18, 1748, the Eecords of Synod say, "A call was brought into Synod 
 from Falling Spring and New Providence, to be presented to Mr. 
 Bryam, the acceptance of which he declined." The congregation 
 being pleased with the labors of Mr. John Brown, a licentiate of 
 New Castle Presbytery, who remained in the valley for some time 
 as a missionary, united in 1753 with the people of Timber Eidge in 
 making the call for his services. After Mr. Brown withdrew from 
 Timber Eidge, he continued for many years to preach to New Provi- 
 dence alone. His sketch is given under the head of Timber Eidge. 
 That the congregation of New Providence did not overvalue his use- 
 fulness, is seen in their prosperity. It went united into the hands 
 of his successors, with a cheering prospect of usefulness, the stand- 
 ard of piety, an able eldership, a large number of professors of relig- 
 ion, having sent into the ministry some of her sons, and been the 
 nursery of the Academy and the germ of the College. 
 
 The second pastor was Mr. Samuel Brown, settled in 1796. We

 know nothing of the life of John Brown till he left college ; we know 
 but comparatively little of his successor before he entered on his 
 ministry; and that little we know is from the memoranda of a son, 
 now a minister of the gospel. Samuel Brown, of English origin, 
 was born in the year 1766, of a family of moderate circumstances, in 
 Bedford County, Virginia, in the bounds of the congregation of 
 Peaks and Pisgah, the fruitful mother of many ministers of the 
 gospel prominent in the Virginia Church. 
 
 While preparing for the ministry as a candidate, he was a member 
 of Liberty Hall Academy, under William Graham. At the meeting 
 of Hanover Presbytery, at Concord, July 30, 1791, Messrs. Turner 
 and Calhoun read parts of their trials in preparation for licensure ; 
 the call from Philadelphia for the removal of J. B. Smith, from 
 Hampden Sidney College, was put in his hands with the non-con- 
 currence of the Presbytery; and three young men were taken as 
 candidates. J ohn Lyle, recommended to this Presbytery as a young" 
 man of good moral character, prosecuting his studies, and desirous 
 of putting himself under their care, not as a candidate at present, 
 but for their patronage and direction, was introduced ; and the Pres- 
 bytery, having heard an account of his religious exercises, thought 
 proper to encourage him in his studies. Mr. Samuel Brown was also 
 recommended as a young man in nearly the same circumstances, and 
 wishing to be taken under the directions of Presbytery in the same 
 manner. 
 
 At Bethel, July 27, 1792, Mr. Brown read his essay upon the 
 "Extent of Christ's Satisfaction." This essay was on the 30th con- 
 sidered and sustained, and an essay was appointed him upon the 
 question, "How do men become depraved, and wherein does that de- 
 pravity consist"; and also a Presbyterial exercise upon Eomans 1st, 
 18th. At Providence, in Louisa, Oct, 5, 1792, "Mr. Brown was ap- 
 pointed a popular discourse on Eom. 5th, 1st, in addition to his other 
 parts of trial to be produced at the next meeting." Briery, April 5. 
 1793. — "The Presbytery was opened with a sermon by Samuel 
 Brown, on the subject assigned him." At this meeting the Eev. 
 Devereux Jarret took his seat as a corresponding member. On the 
 next evening the Presbytery met at 7 o'clock, at the house "of old 
 Mrs. Morton," and after consideration, sustained Mr. Brown's popu- 
 lar sermon. The notice of his reading his essay and Presbj^erial 
 exercise is omitted in the records. "The Presbytery then proceeded 
 
580 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 to examine Mr. Brown with respect to his knowledge in the doctrines 
 of divinity, and his answers being satisfactory, it was agreed to 
 license him to preach the gospel; and Mr. Brown, having adopted 
 the Confession of Faith as received in the Presbyterian Church in 
 America, and promised subjection to his brethren in the Lord, was 
 accordingly licensed to preach the everlasting gospel of J esus Christ, 
 and recommended to all the churches where God in his Providence 
 may call him." At a meeting in July, at the Cove, on the 25th in- 
 stant, Presbytery recommended Mr. Brown to the commission of 
 Synod. Under the direction of this commission, he performed mis- 
 sionary service until April 21, 1796. 
 
 The range of his missionary field was large; the bounds of the 
 commission extended over Virginia, West Pennsylvania and Ken- 
 tucky. With the general extent of their bounds, and a large propor- 
 tion of the particulars, Mr. Brown became fully acquainted ; and the 
 selection of a place of living, which he was enabled to make by the 
 good will and choice of the people, was characteristic of the man. 
 For quietness, usefulness, comfort, present success in the ministry, 
 and prospective in-gathering of harvests, New Providence was un- 
 surpassed by any of the numerous vacancies, and was equalled by 
 few that had pastors. Honesty of purpose, simplicity of manner, 
 diligence in business, and a liberal economy characterized the people 
 of this retired but fertile region of country. The congregation had 
 been famous for its attachment to its ministers ; and the condition in 
 which the first minister left it, in his feeble age, bore testimony to 
 his fidelity. The activity of a young man was becoming visibly nec- 
 essary, and Brown the first gave place cheerfully to Brown the sec- 
 ond, and the successor as cheerfully honored his predecessor while 
 reaping the fruit of his labors. 
 
 Tall, spare, broad shouldered, and not particularly careful at all 
 times whether he stood precisely straight, a thin visage with small, 
 deep-set eyes of a grey color tinged with blue, not particularly ex- 
 pressive till the deep passions of the heart were aroused — "Then," 
 said Governor James McDowell, "they began to sparkle and glow, 
 and apparently sink deeper in his head, and grow brighter and 
 brighter, till the sparkling black was lost in a vivid flame of fire"; 
 then the volcano, giving no other sign in muscle or in limb, of its 
 subterraneous workings, was ready to burst. Then, if the explosion 
 was a volume of wrath, it was terrible; if the kindling of a great

 subject, the burst of eloquence was resistless : the bolt shot forth and 
 shivered like lightning." 
 
 The people of Xew Providence considered their pastor as com- 
 pletely suited to them; they desired no other; they could not well 
 conceive a better. And Mr. Brown rejoiced in an eldership of men 
 of simplicity of manners and purposes ; of sterling integrity and un- 
 feigned piety; and a congregation of sensible people, numerous 
 enough for all his capabilities as a pastor, and worthy of the best 
 exercise of those endowments of body and mind that might be fitted 
 for any service the Lord might call. Both were contented. Under 
 his ministry the old stone meeting house, endeared by a thousand 
 recollections, gave place to a new brick building; and as his own log 
 dwelling was about to be exchanged for a convenient brick residence, 
 nearly completed, he came suddenly to the end of his life. Mr. 
 Brown left a widow and ten children, seven sons and three daughters. 
 A sketch of his widow has appeared in the preceding volume. In 
 about six years she followed her husband to the tomb, and lies by his 
 side. One of his elders describes him thus : 
 
 January 1th, 1851. 
 
 Reverexd and Dear Sir : — 
 
 I received your favor of Dec. 4th, only a few days ago, mak- 
 ing some inquiries respecting the Reverend Samuel Brown. In com- 
 pliance with your request, I will with pleasure, send you such notices 
 of him as my information on the subject will allow. He preached 
 his first sermon in New Providence, after taking their call into his 
 hands, June 5, 1796. He was married 9th of October, 1798, to Polly 
 Moore, whose story is known to you. He purchased soon afterwards 
 a small farm near Brownsburg, and commenced teaching a classical 
 school. He continued the school several years. Amongst those who 
 were his pupils I may name Governor James McDowell, Governor 
 McXutt of Mississippi, Samuel McD. Moore, and Dr. Wilson, now 
 of Union Seminary. He attended to the business of the farm him- 
 self, employing no overseer. His salary was only $400 per annum, 
 until a year or two before his death, when it was raised to $500. He 
 was judicious and economical in the management of his affairs. At 
 the time of his installation his means were nothing, his family be- 
 came large, yet at his death his estate was quite considerable. He 
 died suddenly, 13th of October, 1818, having preached the day be- 
 
582 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 fore. His text on that occasion was in the 40th chapter of Isaiah, 30 
 and 31. 
 
 His talents, according to the common opinion, and that is my 
 own, were of a very high order. His judgment in all matters was 
 sound and practical. In cases where it seemed difficult to arrive at 
 a correct decision, he seemed to seize with facility the true view ; and 
 the clearness of his statements hardly failed to bring others to con- 
 cur with him. His preaching was impressive and interesting. His 
 gestures, according to my recollection, were few, but appropriate. 
 In his addresses from the pulpit he was eminent for strength, con- 
 ciseness and perspicuity. Argumentative more than declamatory, 
 he convinced the judgment of his hearers. Plain, instructive and 
 practical in his discourses, he brought the principles of the Bible to 
 bear upon the conduct of his people in all their relations. He also 
 held very strongly the great Calvinistic doctrines of the Scriptures. 
 
 His sermons were short generally. I have heard people complain 
 sometimes that they were too short, but never that they were too 
 long. When he preached two sermons on the Sabbath, as he did in 
 the summer, his last sermon was generally considered the ablest. I 
 never saw but one sermon of his in print ; that one was preached at 
 the installation or ordination of A. B. Davidson, in Harrisonburg. 
 Mr. Brown told me he had preached it without much preparation, 
 that he had however felt liberty in the delivery of it. When the 
 Presbytery applied for a copy he had none, and wrote it out as near- 
 ly as he could; but I think he was not satisfied with it, and people 
 generally did not consider it a fair specimen of his sermons. 
 
 The longer he lived among his people, the more they became at- 
 tached to him. He mingled amongst them on easy and familiar 
 terms ; took an interest in their welfare, both temporal and spiritual. 
 His conversation was interesting, and to use a current phrase, he 
 was the soul of the company in which he was. He took an active in- 
 terest in the Brownsburg Circulating Library, and was desirous to 
 promote the taste, and the habit of reading amongst his people. He 
 uniformly attended to catechising once a year, at the different places 
 of his congregation, and made pastoral visits to some extent. In his 
 day it was not customary to preach at funerals. 
 
 He was a very kind husband, and was always heard to speak of his 
 wife in the most affectionate manner, and he reposed in her opinion 
 and judgment great confidence. His piety was undoubted. He died

 universally lamented, in the prime of life, in full intellectual vigor, 
 in the midst of his usefulness, and when the love of his people toward 
 him, so far from abating, was becoming deeper and stronger.

 BATTLE OF GUILFORD COURT HOUSE, 
 
 Occasionally in speaking of this battle among Ins friends Mr. 
 Houston related two circumstances respecting himself ; one was that 
 on the morning of the battle, he got an opportunity for private pray- 
 er in an old tree top, and with unusual freedom committed himself to 
 the wise and protecting providence of God ; the other was that in that 
 battle of two hours and twenty minutes, he discharged his rifle four- 
 teen times, that is, once in about ten minutes from the time he heard 
 the first fire of the approaching enemy, till his company joined the 
 retreat of Greene. Others in the battle said that he was the first in 
 his line to answer the command, "fire," and that he was quite in ad- 
 vance when he discharged his rifle. It is easy to find the position of 
 the Rockbridge militia in the battle from the diagram and state- 
 ments in the life of General Greene. Greene, with the regulars, were 
 at the court house; some distance in front, crossing at right angles 
 the great Salisbury road on which the British were advancing, were 
 stationed the Virginia militia; some distance in front and across the 
 same road lay the North Carolina militia. The Virginia line was 
 in the forest ; the Carolina partly in the forest and partly in the skirts 
 of the forest and partly behind a fence enclosing the open space 
 across which the British force was advancing with extended front. 
 According to orders, the Carolina line, when the enemy was very 
 near, gave their fire, which on the left of the British line was deadly, 
 and having repeated it retreated ; some remained to give a third fire, 
 and some made such haste in retreat as to bring reproach upon them- 
 selves as deficient in bravery, while their neighbors behaved like 
 heroes. The right wing of the Virginia line was soon turned by the 
 British regulars pressing on to the position of Greene, and like the 
 Carolina line gave vivid examples both of timidity and heroic cour- 
 age; the left wing, in which Houston was, maintained its position 
 till Greene retreated, almost constantly engaged, but not pressed so 
 hard as they might have been by the regulars occupied with the main 
 body of the American army.

 The greatest loss of the Eockbridge and Augusta forces was exper- 
 ienced after they commenced their retreat. Lee's light horse were 
 riot ready to cover them, and their retreat became* a flight exposed to 
 the sabres of the British light horse. Mr. Samuel Steele, that died 
 an old man, near Waynesborough, in that retreat shot one horseman 
 that followed him. Two others came upon him before he reloaded, 
 and he surrendered himself a prisoner. "Give us your gun." "Oh, 
 no, I cant think of that/' "I say, give us your gun !" "Oh, no, T 
 can't think of that." Bursting into a laugh at his simplicity, "Well, 
 carry it along then," motioning him to follow in the rear. He went 
 along some distance, when suddenly springing into the thick top of a 
 fallen tree, he commenced loading his gun. The horsemen, unable 
 to get at him with their swords, put spurs and rode out of reach of 
 his shot. He took advantage of their disappearance and was soon 
 out of danger. David Steele, of Medway, where Waddell addressed 
 the militia before their march, was cut down in the retreat and left 
 for dead. The scar of a deep wound over one of his eyes was fright- 
 ful to strangers through his long life. Judge Stuart, of Staunton, 
 was in the battle, a messmate of Houston, and retained a friendship 
 for him till his death ; excelling in talents he could not, in the opin- 
 ion of the soldiers, surpass him in the cool facing of danger. Cap- 
 tain James Tate, of Bethel, was killed in the early part of the battle. 
 Captain Andrew Wallace, from near Lexington, was in the regular 
 service, and had always shown himself a brave man. That morning 
 he expressed a mournful presage that he would fall that day. In the 
 course of the action, he sheltered himself behind a tree, with some 
 indication of alarm. Being reproached, he immediately left the 
 shelter, and in a moment received his death wound. A brother of his, 
 Captain Adam Wallace, was with Buford at the terrible massacre on 
 the Waxhaw; after killing many of the enemy with his espontoon, 
 he dies bravely fighting. A third brother, Captain Hugh Wallace, 
 in the regular army, died in Philadelphia, of smallpox. Major Alex- 
 ander Stuart, of whom Mr. Houston says, "We lost our Major," was 
 mounted on a beautiful mare. A shot was fatal to her on the hasty 
 retreat. As she fell, the Major was seized and surrendered. His 
 captors plundered him and left him standing in his cocked hat, shirt, 
 and shoes. He was unwounded. Cornwallis took him and other 
 prisoners with him in his retreat to Wilmington. For a time Greene 
 greatly harassed Cornwallis in his daily marches. Mr. Stuart said 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 585 
 
 the prisoners suffered severely, particularly from thirst. So great 
 was the haste of flight, and the unkindness of the guard, that the 
 prisoners were not suffered to intermit their speed even to drink in 
 crossing the runs ; those that attempted to drink were warned by the 
 bayonet point to go on. He dipped water with his cocked hat; 
 others used their shoes. Archibald Stuart was commissary, but at 
 Guilford he took his musket and entered the ranks as a common sol- 
 dier. Major Stuart said that Green afterward told him that there 
 was a turn in the battle in which, if he could have reckoned upon the 
 firm stand of the left wing of Virginia militia, he could have anni- 
 hilated the army of Cornwallis. He knew they were good for a short 
 fight, but was not prepared to see them stand it out as regulars. The 
 defect of the militia system was apparent. The second day after the 
 battle, when they must either march further from home in pursuit 
 of Cornwallis — "to offer the British force more cannon and another 
 regiment of recaptured prisoners, on the same terms as on the 15th" 
 — or return home; they all, the very men who called those who 
 flinched at the Dan "cowards" ; all, in face of their Colonel, and dis- 
 pleasure, "the fury" of the General of Brigade, all marched off home. 
 The American Generals soon learned to object to short terms of ser- 
 vice, and at the same time had full confidence in the courage of their 
 countrymen. 
 
 [I also add a few additional items also found in Foote's Sketches 
 of Virginia relating to the different churches of iiugusta in which 
 Eev. Houston labored. — Ed.] 
 
 At a meeting of Hanover Presbytery at the stone meeting house, 
 Augusta County, November, 1771, Messrs. Samuel Houston, An- 
 drew McClure, Samuel Carrick and Adam Rankin, were on examina- 
 tion received as candidates for the ministry. In May, 1772, at Tim- 
 ber Ridge, on the 22nd, Mr. Houston read a lecture on Colossians 
 3d from the 1st to the 8th verse; and also a Presbyterial discourse 
 on 1 Tim., 1, 5, which were sustained as parts of trial. Messrs. Ran- 
 kin, Carrick and McClure exhibited parts of their trials for licensure. 
 At this Presbytery Mr. John McCue was licensed, and on parts of 
 his examination Messrs. Houston and Rankin were associated. Octo- 
 ber 22, 1772, at New Providence, the Presbytery was opened with a 
 sermon by Adam Rankin, from 2 Cor., 5, 14, and Samuel Houston 
 John, 17, 3; both candidates for licensure. They were sustained. 
 Messrs. Andrew McClure and Samuel Carrick, also produced their 
 
586 
 
 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 pieces of trial ; and the four candidates having passed acceptably all 
 their trials, were licensed to preach the gospel. At Hall's meeting 
 house May 20, 1773, Mr. Houston accepted a call from the Provi- 
 dence congregation in Washington County. The third Wednesday 
 of August was fixed for the ordination : Mr. Houston to preach from 
 Col., 3, 4 ; the ordination services to be performed by Messrs Cuin- 
 mings, Balch and Doak, the second to preach the ordination sermon, 
 the third to preside, the first to give the charge. In August, 1775, 
 the Presbytery of Abingdon was formed, and Mr. Houston made a 
 constituent part. In May, 1786, he took his seat in the Synod as the 
 first in attendance from the Presbytery. In the events of the few 
 succeeding years, Mr. Houston, in common with his fellow citizens, 
 took an active part. He advocated the formation of a new state to be 
 called Franklin. After some years of commotion the State of Ten- 
 nessee was formed and made one of the Union. Unfortunately the 
 Presbyterian ministers were divided in their opinions in the course 
 of the procedure, and suffered, many of them, much uneasiness on 
 a subject the particulars of which it is not necessary to record, ex- 
 cept in a history of Tennessee in its settlement and progress. For 
 various reasons Mr. Houston determined to return to Virginia, and 
 on the 24th of October, 1789, he was admitted a member of Lexing- 
 ton Presbytery. 
 
 In September, 1791, at Augusta Church on the 20th, when A. 
 Alexander opened Presbytery with his trial sermon, he accepted a 
 call from Falling Spring for two-thirds of his time. At this place 
 and High Bridge he performed the duties of a minister of the gospel, 
 faithfully and diligently, till the infirmities of age made it necessary 
 for him to throw the labor on younger men. For many years he 
 taught a classical school with success, mingling firmness and kind- 
 ness in his discipline. He took great delight in meeting his brethren 
 in the judicatories of the church. His last attendance of the Vir- 
 ginia Synod was at Lexington, October, 1837. Bent with age, almost 
 blind, his long gray locks falling upon his shoulders, he sedulously 
 attended the sessions and listened to the debates, and finally gave his 
 vote to sustain the action of the Assembly of ? 37. None that saw 
 him could forget his appearance. Cheerful through life, he was glad 
 when his end came. His works remain. He was one that cherished 
 Washington College in the days of its greatest weakness and depres- 
 sion. When his infirmities came upon him, he resigned his pastoral

 charges, and employed himself in going out into the highways and 
 hedges. About two miles from the Natural Bridge, and sixteen from 
 Lexington, on the road to Fincastle, is a brick church on a hill, sur- 
 rounded by a graveyard. At the western end of the church is a mar- 
 ble slab inscribed:

 John Paxton, one of the three brothers who emigrated with the 
 Houstons first to Pennsylvania and afterwards with them to the Val- 
 ley of Virginia, 1740-45. 
 
 He was a Brigade Inspector for many years, and while from home 
 attending his military duties in the western part of Virginia he was 
 arrested by the hand of death, and breathed his last in Callighan's 
 Hotel, a celebrated inn, in what is now Alleghany County, Va. 
 
 He was a man above the ordinary size, of fine personal appearance 
 and military bearing. We have not been able to gather such knowl- 
 edge of his history as might otherwise, no doubt, have given much 
 entertainment to his posterity, some of whom were among the most 
 distinguished of the tribe. Not many years after his death, his 
 widow left the home which he had inherited from his father on Tim- 
 ber Ridge, and removed with her family to Blount County, Tenn. 
 (about 1807), and settled on Pistol Creek, near a church which was 
 called "Baker's Creek Church/' where she habitually attended with 
 her children. She was a lady of much excellence. Her prominent

 HOUSTON FAMILY. 
 
 BY REV. SAMUEL R. HOUSTON, D. D. 
 
 The following is copied from a manuscript found among the 
 papers of Eev. Samuel Houston (who married Margaret Walker) : 
 
 "John Houston, my grandfather, came from Ireland with his fam- 
 ily when my father was about nine years old, about 1735, bringing 
 with him his mother and wife, who was a Miss Cunningham, and 
 all of his children, excepting the oldest son, James, who died soon 
 after the family left him. 
 
 John Houston's family consisted of the following children : 
 
 a. Robert Houston +. 
 
 b. Isabella Houston. 
 
 c. Esther Houston. 
 
 d. John Houston +. 
 
 e. Samuel Houston.

 Grandfather John Houston remained in Pennsylvania until his 
 three oldest children were married. He then removed to Virginia, 
 and settled on 'Burden's Land/ and with his son-in-law (John Mont- 
 gomery) , was a principal founder of the congregation of 'New Provi- 
 dence/ to which he gave the name. In the cemetery of the same, his 
 mother, aged ninety-seven, his wife and himself, with several of his

 General Sam Houston furnishes some interesting history connect- 
 ed with the family : 
 
 "At an early period in the history of the Houstons, John Houston, 
 with a body of soldiers, reinforced a broken column, and for Ms great 
 courage and unexampled energy was knighted on the field of battle. 
 The greyhounds in their coat of arms, indicates his fleetness in com- 
 ing to the rescue ; the "last sand of the hour-glass," the perilous ex- 
 tremity of the army ; and the motto, Tn time,* its victory. It is the 
 tradition that the Houstons dwelt on the 'Lowlands' of Scotland, 
 and the registering of their 'Coat of Arms" in the government office 
 at London, proves satisfactorily that their standing was somewhat 
 elevated. They took a decided stand in favor of the Reformation: 
 adopted early the tenets of Calvin; sustained with their hearts' sub- 
 stance and blood the religious views of J ohn Knox ; and were perse- 
 cuted for their riffid adherence to the Bible, and the "Bible alone/" 
 as their rule of faith and practice, and to the 'Tresbytery^ as the 
 scriptural form of Church government. Many of them fled to the 
 north of Ireland, and were there and joined in the siege of London- 
 derry, and shared in the final triumph in 1688. In the party which 
 emigrated to America in IT 35, with John Houston, were a number 
 who had considerable money. Believing from all appearances that 
 the crew had designs of robbing the passengers, after holding a con- 
 sultation, the crew were seized, put in chains, and some of the emi- 
 grants who were skilled in navigation, took command of the ship and 
 landed safely in the port of Philadelphia. Two large grants of land 
 were made by Governor G-ooch to induce settlers to come to this fer- 
 tile valley. The land was offered for twenty-five dollars per hundred 
 acres. The Scotch-Irish then came in from Pennsylvania and other 
 places in considerable numbers, and made their homes there.'" 
 
 ROBERT Houston (a), the oldest of John's family, was born in 
 Ireland about 1720; lived on Timber Ridge, some five or six miles 
 northeast of Lexington, the county seat of Rockbridge County. He

 Virginia ; was clerk of the Presbytery of Eockbridge Comity ; was an 
 intimate friend of Dr. Moses Hoge ; corresponded with him for years. 
 These letters were preserved by the family until they were turned 
 over to Dr. Foote, to be used by him in preparing his "Sketches of 
 Virginia." His farm consisted of more than six hundred acres. He 
 was a successful farmer. He invented and obtained a patent for a 
 threshing machine. For about 20 years he taught a classical school, 
 which was well patronized. As a preacher he was plain, practical 
 and tender, and well beloved by his flock. In his dress and manners 
 he was always the gentleman, neat and courteous. For many years 
 his dress was that of the English gentry in former times — short 
 breeches, buttoned and buckled at the knees, long stockings, shoes 
 rather large, with heavy silver buckles; boots, when riding out, 
 reaching nearly to the knees, with white leather tops to them ; a dress 
 coat rounded in front, with many buttons on one side only, and a 
 standing collar. To crown all he wore a broad-brimmed, triangular 
 cocked hat. His father, John, was a brother of Eobert Houston, 
 grandfather of Governor Samuel Houston. Thus Eev. Samuel and 
 Governor Sam Houston were second cousins. His first wife was a 
 Miss Hall, who died within a few months after their marriage. He

 at Rural Valley, Rockbridge County. He was named for the Rev. 
 Samuel Rutherford, of Scotland, author of "The Rutherford Let- 
 ters" and other religious works. Soon after graduating from Dick- 
 enson College, Carlisle, Pa., he became instructor in the Institution 
 for the Deaf and Dumb at Philadelphia, where he remained about 
 six years. After graduating in Theology he was licensed to preach 
 by the Presbytery of Lexington in 1 843 ; was ordained the following

 January, to labor as an evangelist under the direction of the Ameri- 
 can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He was desig- 
 nated to a field in Asia Minor, "Old Kaiseriah," along with Rev. 
 John B. Adger. Rev. Houston was located on the Island of Scio, 
 for the training of "Helpers" for the Greek Mission. This island is 
 about 75 miles from Smyrna, and nine miles from the coast of Asia. 
 He commenced his labors here Nov. 8, 1834, remaining two and one- 
 half years. From here he went to the Province of Laconia, in Pelo- 
 ponnesus. The Rev. George Ley burn joining him, they chartered a 
 Greek coasting vessel and proceeded at once to Athens, thence to 
 Areopolis, the capital of Laconia, and were received with the highest 
 tokens of respect by the Governor and the people of the "old Bey." 
 Here they erected a large school house, sufficient to accommodate at 
 least 150 pupils, with another building for higher studies. In a 
 short time both were in successful operation, the good effects of 
 which are seen to the present day. Owing to the ill health of wife 
 and child he left here after a stay of three or four years, and went to 
 Athens, where the child died. They then went to Egypt. He 
 preached in Alexandria six months, in the house of the British Con- 
 sulate. His wife dying in the city of Cairo, he returned to his labors 
 in Greece. But only remained about eighteen months, being ob- 
 liged to leave on account of the illness of his remaining child. He 
 returned to America, arriving at his home in Virginia Aug., 1841. 
 After some delay, arrangements were made for his return to his 
 missionary labors in the East. His baggage had gone on to Boston, 
 when his second wife was stricken down with a disease, the nature 
 of which prevented their embarking for foreign shores. He there- 
 fore sought for work nearer home and was soon located as pastor at 
 Union, Mt. Pleasant, West Virginia, where he was in 1882. 
 
 His first wife, Mary Russel Rowland, was born in Pattonsburg, 
 Botetourt County, Va. She was the second daughter of Colonel 
 Wm. Rowland, a man of considerable wealth and influence. She 
 was a woman of Christian character, her early devotion to the cause 
 of missions being quite marked. She acquired a knowledge of the 
 Greek language, and was a help-meet indeed to her husband. She 
 died at Cairo, Egypt, in 1839, and was buried in Alexandria. 
 
 The second wife of Samuel R. Houston was Margaret Parks Pax- 
 ton, daughter of Colonel Wm. Paxton. The family to which she be-

 death, August 14, 1896, lie was within a few days of being seventy 
 years of age. His parents were of Scotch-Irish descent. When 11 
 years of age he removed with his parents to Crawfordsville, Ind., 
 where they died. His oportunities for education were ample, and 
 he graduated in 1850 at Hanover College, Indiana, from which he 
 received the degree of Master of Arts. At Hanover he was a class- 
 mate of Judge X. B. Saunders of Belton, and Judge Davis of 
 El Paso. 
 
 He removed to Texas in 1852, settling at Manayunk, on the San 
 Jacinto River, not far from Houston, where he taught school. While 
 teaching, acting under the advice of David G. Burnett, first presi- 
 dent of the Republic, and J. Pickney Henderson, first governor of 
 Texas, he studied law, using their books. In January, 1853, he ob- 
 tained his professional license. In July of that year he removed to 
 Georgetown, Williamson County, where he began the active practice 
 of his profession, rapidly rose in it, and in 1858 was elected district 
 attorney. 
 
 At the outbreak of the war, he enlisted as a private soldier in the 
 Confederate army, and while absent from home at the front he was 
 elected Judge of the Seventeenth Judicial District of Texas, and 
 returned home to enter upon the discharge of the duties of that office. 
 Subsequently, in 1865, because of his well known and pronounced 
 political views, he was removed by the military authorities as an im- 
 pediment to reconstruction. He moved to Austin and shortly after- 
 wards became one of the principal projectors of the "Austin States- 
 man." He was prominent in politics and conducted the campaign 
 which resulted in the redemption of Texas from radical reconstruc- 
 tion rule. While in partnership with Judge Alexander W. Terrell 
 their services were secured as supreme court reporters, and the result 
 of this labor is found in "Volumes 38 to 52 inclusive, Texas Supreme 
 Court Reports. He was later elected and re-elected, without can- 
 vass or solicitation, as Judge of his judicial district, and was holding 
 this office, when he was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of the 
 State of Texas. In 1889 he was selected as Supreme Court Reporter, 
 which position he filled until the date of his death which occurred 
 at Austin. Texas. 
 
 He was rarely absent from church services ; was a liberal supporter 
 of all benevolent objects. He was for a long time Trustee of the 
 Southern Free Presbyterian Church of Austin, yet never connect-

 ed himself with any church. The Texas Presbyterian says: "He 
 came nearer filling the picture drawn by the Psalmist in the 84th 
 Psalm than any man we have ever seen : 'Who shall ascend unto the 
 hill of the Lord ? or who shall stand in his holy place ? He that hath 
 clean hands and a pure heart.' In all his public and private life his 
 hands were clean, his heart right.'"' Rev. E. L. Dabney. D. D., said 
 that Judge Walker was one of the most entertaining men. when one 
 succeeded in drawing him out. with whom he ever talked. 
 
 The ruling traits of Judge "Walkers character were a deep love of 
 justice, an unswerving and an abiding strictness in the performance 
 of duty. He was a thorough master of the principles of law. untir- 
 ing in his search for truth, calm and conscientious in his conclusions, 
 and no art of casuistry could induce him to abandon an opinion 
 formed from an impartial judgment and fortified by reason and 
 sound sense. He was patient and courteous in his deference to the 
 opinions of others and to the views of the opposition, and while firm 
 in maintaining his own honest convictions, he never challenged the 
 honesty and sincerity of others. Few judges ever enjoyed greater 
 confidence on the part of both the bar and the people. His opinions 
 from the bench were generally accepted as conclusive and as lights 
 along the paths of justice. While he was stern in the enforcement 
 of law. the breath of goodness and the robe of mercy were around 
 him. Patience with the erring and offending was a lofty trait of his 
 character. Compassion with him was great and he was often seen 
 quietlv shedding: tears when passing* sentence upon some hanless 
 criminal. 
 
 Judge A. S. Walkers private life was a beautiful conception. It 
 was an example to all men in every sphere of life: in the homes of 
 the rich, in humble abodes and in the daily intercourse with the 
 world. He lived the life of a truly good man. pure, calm, strong, 
 self-reliant and dependent neither upon fashion, fortune nor fame. 
 Judge Walker was a good man. and goodness is the great inspirer. 
 the great refiner and the great glorifier of this world. He wore the 
 crown of fidelity and truth, the crown of earthly royalty, and amid 
 assembled worlds a brighter crown has been placed upon his brow. 
 "Be thou faithful unto death."' saith the Judge of all hearts, "'and I 
 will give thee a crown of life."" Judge Alexander Smart Walker 
 was faithful. His first wife was Anna Jane Wilbarger of George- 
 town. Texas. She was born in Bastrop County. Texas, July v, 1839,

 ALEXANDER Walker 2 (3) (Alexander 1 ) ; was the nephew of 
 John and Katherine Walker, the emigrants. He came to America 
 with them in 1728, with his older brother John (called Jack) and 
 sister Eleanor ; first settled in Pennsylvania, and then with his broth- 
 er John and cousin Alexander (eighth child of John and Katherine) 
 went to Virginia and settled on what was called Walker's Creek, 
 Rockbridge County, then Augusta County; this was in the fall of 
 1734. Alexander Walker lived on the farm now owned by William 
 Walker; his brother John settled about one mile up the creek, and 
 their cousin Alexander pitched his tent nearer the Jump Mountain, 
 about one-half mile from his cousin Alexander's place, they being 
 the first settlers there. The creek which runs parallel with the val- 
 ley was called for them, and still bears that name. Alexander or 
 "Sawney" as he was called, was killed by the falling of a tree, and 
 was buried on a hill which is near and overlooks his farm. In this 
 quiet "God's Acre" rest many of his kindred.

 LIKE OF JENCY WALKER, WIFE OF TAYLOR POLK. 
 
 The following records were furnished by Mrs. F. M. Angellotti of 
 San Rafael, California. We were not able to ascertain the name of 
 the father of Alexander Walker, whose daughter Jency married Tay- 
 lor Polk, but being satisfied that he was of this family and a direct 
 descendant of John and Katherine Walker of Wigton, we have in- 
 cluded the record in this work. Old letters and papers in the Polk 
 family show that the wife of Taylor Polk was J ency Walker, daugh- 
 ter of Alexander Walker, a lineal descendant of J ohn and Katherine 
 Rutherford Walker of Wigton, Scotland. 
 
 Taylor Polk was a son of John Polk, a private in Captain James 
 Watson's company of the famous "Flying Camp" of Lancaster Coun- 
 ty, Pennsylvania, commanded by Colonel James Cunningham, which 
 participated in the New Jersey Campaign of 1776, and was at the 
 Battle of Long Island in August, 1776. (For reference, see Penn- 
 sylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. 15, p. 631.) He was subse- 
 quently in the service of the Pennsylvania line of the Revolution, 
 and received depreciation pay for his services from the State of 
 Pennsylvania up to Jan. 1, 1781. (See Pennsylvania Archives, Sec- 
 ond Series, Vol. 13, p. 183.) 
 
 John Polk married Eleanor Shelby, daughter of Evan Shelby and 
 his wife, Letitia Cox, of Fort Frederick, Maryland, afterwards of 
 Bristol, Tennessee, the "King's Meadows" of Colonial days. Eleanor 
 was a sister of Isaac Shelby, first Governor of Kentucky. John 
 Polk was the son of William, son of John, son of Robert Polk and 
 Magdalen Tasker, his wife, who emigrated to America, and in 1687 
 
JOHN WALKER. 
 
 631 
 
 received from Lord Baliniore the original grant of "Polk's Folly/' 
 in Somerset County, Maryland. 
 
 Kobert Polk was Captain in the regiment of Colonel Porter, under 
 Cromwell. After Colonel Porter's death he married his widow, 
 whose maiden name was Magdalen Tasker. She was the daughter of 
 Colonel Tasker, a Chancellor of Ireland, whose seat was Bloomfield 
 Castle, near Londonderry. (For these facts, and also for descent of 
 Taylor Polk, see American Historical Magazine, Vol. II, No. 4.)

 one of the well known gentlemen and former merchants of this part 
 of the state, his home originally having been at Leavenworth, Ind., 
 where he was born and lived the greater part of his life. He was for 
 some years following the civil war a partner in a plantation with 
 General Powell Clayton, U. S. Minister to Mexico, at Pine Bluff, 
 Ark. He was a veteran of the civil war, and became an associate and 
 close friend of Gen. Clayton. After the war was ended the two went 
 into the cotton business together and purchased a large plantation

 at Pine Bluff, which they operated together for some years, after 
 which Mr. Kelso returned to his old home at Leavenworth, where he 
 went into general merchandising. His store was the leading one in 
 that section of the country for many years, and branch stores were 
 established at surrounding towns. Later he removed to Mt. Carmel, 
 where he engaged in the mercantile business, from which he retired 
 about four years previous to the time of his death.

 City, Mo., then removed to Denver, where the family made their 
 home until November, 1901, when they removed to Kansas City, 
 where she died Jan. 22, 1902, aged nearly 66 years. For many years 
 she was a faithful primary teacher in the Presbyterian Sabbath 
 School. She was a charter member of the Foreign Missionary Soc- 
 iety, and for five years was its secretary. Hers was a lovely Christian 
 character, strong and unwavering in her convictions of right, self- 
 sacrificing in her devotion to her family and always loyal to her 
 friends. Her cheerfulness, humor and enjoyment of companionship 
 was boundless. The above are extracts from a very few of the many 
 loving tributes that were received from friends and kindred when it 
 was known that this their dear friend had been called to the Great 
 Beyond. Her only son, Frank Campbell King, was married April 
 16, 1902, to Georgiana, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dudley

 dence Church in Kockbridge County in Sept., 1819. In addition to 
 his pastoral duties he conducted a classical school, which was success- 
 ful and popular. He was elected a trustee of Washington and Lee 
 College in 1820, which office he retained until 1865, when, owing to 
 ill health, he resigned. He was a man of comely person, friendly 
 manners and noted for a generous, hospitable disposition. His home 
 was two miles west of Brownsburg, Va., at Belle Vue. When he was 
 called to the church of New Providence it was to succeed his father- 
 in-law, Eev. Samuel Brown. — Condensed from Washington and Lee

 In "A History of the Church and Congregation of New Provi- 
 dence," by Eev. E. D. Junkin, I found this scrap of information: 
 
 "There is in the possession of the officers of the church the origin- 
 al deed given by James Wardlaw and his wife, Martha, to John 
 Logan, Samuel Buchanan, Alexander Walker, Sr., Andrew Hays, 
 James Henry, James McCampbell, Thomas Hill, John Houston and 
 Alexander Walker, Jr., as Elders of the Congregation of Dissenters 
 of New Providence, and conveying to them as such the original tract 
 of land on which the church now stands. This deed is dated Novem- 
 ber 14, 1771, and according to the endorsement on its back, was re- 
 corded in the court of Augusta County May 20, 1772. 
 
 The plot of the land is with the deed and calls for eight and a half 
 acres, for which the price of fifty pounds current money of Virginia 
 was paid."

 grandson, Eev. John Andrew McKamy, has collected various records 
 and data concerning his immediate family. It was expected that 
 this material would be included in this work, but was not forwarded 
 in time for insertion. Eev. John A. McKamy has charge of the Sun- 
 day School Department of the Cumberland Presbyterian Publishing 
 House at Nashville, Tenn. He says : "I have heard my father say 
 that his grandfather, * Samuel Walker, was a Captain of Virginia 
 troops under General Washington." 
 
 General James Alexander Walker belonged to a Scotch-Irish fam- 
 ily. He was born in Augusta County, Va., in September, 1833. His 
 great-grandfather, Alexander Walker, was a descendant of John

 Walker of Wigton, Scotland. (See sketch of Gen. Walker in the 
 Richmond Weekly Dispatch of Oct. 24, 1901.) Alexander Walker 
 above mentioned had, so history states, 21 children, most of whom 
 grew to manhood and womanhood, and settled in Kentucky, Ala- 
 bama, Missouri, Illinois and other states of the Union. Of these 
 children the names of only two are known to ns, John and Jane. 
 John m. Sarah Connely. They were the grandparents of General 
 Walker, who was a lawyer by profession, being in 1859 elected Attor- 
 ney for the Commonwealth for Pulaski County, Va. ; was made Cap- 
 tain of a fine volunteer company at the beginning of the war; was 
 promoted to the office of Lieutenant- Colonel in April, 1861. In 
 March, 1862, he was promoted Brigadier- General. In May, 1863, 
 a third promotion raised him to the rank of Brigadier- General of 
 the "Stonewall" 7 Brigade. At the "Bloody Angle/' in May, 1864, 
 he was severely wounded. In July following, his arm yet in a sling, 
 he was put in command of the reserve troops guarding the line of 
 the Richmond and Southside railroads, which roads were the feeders 
 of General Lee's army. 
 
 In January, 1865, he reported to General Lee for active service, 
 and was assigned to the command of Early's Division, which he sur- 
 rendered at Appomattox. 
 
 General Walker was with General Jackson in the famous Virginia 
 campaign, and participated in all the battles of the Army of North- 
 ern Virginia. He was present at Bull Run, Front Royal, Winchester, 
 Cross Keys, Port Republic, Gaines's Mill, Malvern Hill, Cedar Run, 
 Second Bull Run or Manassas, Ox Hill, Fredericksburg, Second 
 Winchester, Gettysburg, Payne's Farm, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spot- 
 sylania Courthouse, Fort Stedman, Petersburg, Sailor's Creek and 
 Appomattox. 
 
 In 1869 he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates from 
 Pulaski County, serving two terms in that body. In 1877 he was 
 elected Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia and served until 1881. He 
 attended three National Conventions, in 1876, 1896 and in 1900. 
 He m. Sarah A., daughter of Major William Poage of Rockbridge 
 County, whose wife was Peggy Allen. The six children of General 
 Walker were James A., Frank, Allen P., Mrs. M. M. Caldwell, Mrs. 
 James R. Jordan and Mr. A. E. Walker of Florence, Ala. Of Gen- 
 eral Walker's immediate family two survived him at the time of his 
 death, Oct. 20, 1901, namely, Hon. Silas Walker and Mary Walker.

 DESCENDANTS OF 
 
 Of the family of William Walker, "The Filibuster/' we were able 
 to learn very little. Eev. J. A. McKamy of Nashville, says : "Will- 
 iam Walker's old home is here within half a square of my office. My 
 people always claimed kin with him." He was born in Nashville 
 May 8, 1824. His father, James Walker, was a banker of Edin- 
 burgh, Scotland, but emigrated to America about 1815. He was 
 first a merchant, then president of the Commercial Insurance Com- 
 pany at Nashville, and his mother's name, Norvell, would indicate 
 that she also was Scotch. There is little memorable in the early his- 
 tory of the man who became successively a doctor, lawyer, editor, 
 president of a republic, major-general and president of another re- 
 public, the subject of deep concern to England, a thorn in the side 
 of two administrations in the United States, and yet died at thirty- 
 six. He was graduated from the University of Nashville in 1838, 
 and from the Medical College of the University of Philadelphia in 
 1843. He completed his medical studies in Edinburgh and then trav- 
 eled in Europe. The American Historical Magazine for July, 1898, 
 from which the above was taken concludes a lengthy article on Will- 
 iam Walker by saying: "It is difficult to imagine what could not 
 have been accomplished in a better or less desperate cause by a man 
 who had in him so much of the stuff of which heroes are made, for 
 Walker was as calm as Lee, as earnest as Stonewall J ackson, as tena- 
 cious as Grant, and no braver man ever wore sword." 
 
 James Walker had three sons, William, Norvell and James, and 
 one daughter who married a man by the name of Richardson and re- 
 moved to Louisville, where her children still reside.
