After earnest but ineffectual efforts, dating from December, 1873, by Mr. John Austin Stevens, of New York, to induce the Society of the Cincinnati, through its President-General, Hon. Hamilton Fish, to enlarge and liberalize the policy of that in- stitution so as to admit to membership all male descendants of original subscribers, or of any officer who was entitled to mem- bership, in the Cincinnati, provided such persons should be other- wise eligible and acceptable, Mr. Stevens was forced to seek a new medium through which to collect, disseminate and trans- mit the patriotic fervor and aims by which he was animated. Mr. Stevens, who is justly revered as the Founder of our Society, felt that the time was ripe for the organization of a great patriotic Society upon the broadest foundations of associa- tion, catholic as to its membership in right of ancestors of the Revolution, and which might be made a factor for good in the direction of public affairs and the inculcation of principles of honor and patriotism in the hearts of the young. With faith in the goodness of his cause, he presented the matter to those of his associates whom he knew to be in full accord with his sentiments, and on the eighteenth day of De- cember, 1875, in the rooms of the New York Historical Society, a meeting was held to discuss the feasibility of this project. The proposition of Mr. Stevens was heartily endorsed and the name "Sons of the Revolution," was adopted at this pre- liminary meeting. A second meeting was had at the same place on January 15, 1876, when Mr. Stevens presented a constitution, which, after thoughtful consideration, was unanimously approved and signed by all who were present. This was the institution of the Society, Sons of the Revolu- tion, and Mr. Stevens was requested to make such public an- nouncement of the fact as he mi^ht think suitable. He issued the followinsf circular letter: ^ JOHN T. SHELBY. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF GENERAL SOCIETY. 17 "Sons of the Revolution : The Society of the Cincinnati, founded at West Point by the officers of the Army of the Revokition in 1783, originally limited its membership to descendants of officers in the elder branch, and, with a temporary and short variation from the rule, has ever maintained its restriction. The approach of the centennial anniversary of American In- dependence is an appropriate time for the formation of a society on a broader basis, which may include all descendants of those w^"'0 served with the army of the Revolution. The undersigned have formed themselves into a society under the name of 'Sons of the Revolution,' and invite the membership of all who, like themselves, are de- scendants of officers or soldiers of the revolutionary army. The object of the Society is to take part in the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. A meeting will be held for organization at the rooms of the New York Historical Society on the morning of Tuesday, the 22d of February next (1876) at twelve o'clock. All persons having a right and desire to become members may send their names and the names of those they represent to the undersigned (Box 88, Station 'D,' New York Post Office). John Austin Stevens." But few acceptances of this invitation were received, and, de- ferring further action, Mr. Stevens awaited with patience a more propitious occasion to present the features of this new Society. At the close of the year 1883, the centennial anniversaries of the evacuation of New York, and of Washington's last meeting with his officers, were events which indicated to Mr. Stevens and his associates that the time had come for a successful and permanent establishment of the order. Elaborate preparations were made for a dinner at Fraunces' Tavern, to be given on December 4, 1883, in commemoration of the close of Washington's military career, in that affectionate and pathetic farewell to his officers, ''With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you ; I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." 18 SOXS OF THE REl'OLUTION. Here, at the time indicated, in the identical "Long Room," assembled a company of representative New York citizens, gentlemen distinguished in the mercantile world and in the walks of science, literature, medicine, jurisprudence and the church. The constitution of the Society, Sons of the Revolution, was presented by Mr. Stevens and his associates, and it was received with enthusiastic acclaim. The original document was brought from the archives of the Historical Society where it had been deposited, and it was signed by all present who were eligible by revolutionary descent, more than forty gentlemen al^xing their signatures, and the New York Society was organized by the election of John Austin Stevens, President, John Cochrane, Vice- President, Austin Huntington, Secretary, and George H. Potts, Treasurer. On the twenty-ninth day of April, 1884, a certificate of in- corporation was executed by the following gentlemen : John Austin Stevens, John Cochrane, Austin Huntington, George H. Potts, Frederick S. Tallmadge, George W. W. Houghton, Asa Bird Gardiner, Thomas H. Edsall, Joseph W. Drexel, James Mortimer Montgomery, James Duane Livingston, Alexander R. Thompson, Jr., and John Bleecker Miller, and on May 2, 1884, Judge George C. Barrett signed the certificate of incorporation. Public attention was immediately attracted to this new Society, and an increase of membership followed, not alone from Newr York, but from the adjoining States. On April 3, 1888, Mr. John Wolf Jordan and fourteen other gentlemen, of Philadelphia, all qualified by revolutionary an- cestry and some of them previously admitted to the New York Society, assembled at the office of Dr. Herman Burgin, in Phila- delphia, and organized an independent Society of Sons of the Revolution for the State of Pennsylvania. The founders of this Society were Oliver Christian Bosby- shell, George Horace Burgin, Herman Burgin, Richard McCall Cadwalader, James Edward Carpenter, Robert Porter Dechert, William Churchill Houston, Jr., John Wolf Jordan, Josiah Gran- ville Leach, Elon Dunbar Lockwood, Charles Marshall. Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker, John Biddle Porter, William Brooke Rawle, and William Wayne. The adoption of an insignium early engaged the attention of the Pennsylvania Society, and in October, 1888, a committee con- HISTORICAL SKETCH OF GENERAL SOCIETY. 19 sisting of Col. Oliver Christian Bosbyshell, Mr. John Wolf Jordan and Dr. Herman Burgin was appointed to secure designs, with in- structions to consider those submitted by Major L'Enfant to the Society of the Cincinnati in 1783. Finally, on January 14, 1889, the present design was accepted, and subsequently adopted by the New York Society, and since by the General Society as the insignium of the Sons of the Revolution. During the same year, committees were appointed to consider designs for a rosette and of a certificate of membership. On November 11th, the rosette of the New York Society was accepted, and has since been adopted by the General Society. The beautiful seal of the New York Society was also unanimously adopted. Considerable diversity of sentiment had been manifested in the discussion relating to the selection of society colors. The Cincinnati had taken the colors blue and white for the distinctive ribbons suspending their order, as descriptive of the union of America and France, and the very intimate associa- tion of Sons of the Revolution with the Cincinnati in all patriotic celebrations and the large number of those gentlemen who had participated in the organization of the societies in New York, Pennsylvania and District of Columbia, forbade the great dis- courtesy of appropriating colors which belonged to them by so long a prescription, and the buff and blue were selected, as being distinctive marks of the uniform of the continental soldiers. Acting under a special dispensation from the New York Society, granted in response to their application therefor, pre- sented on March 11, 1889, certain gentlemen, residing in the City of Washington, organized in the month of April, 1889, the District of Columbia Society. Tlfe founders of this Society were David D. Porter, John Lee Carroll, C. R. Rodgers, S. R. Frank- lin, Nicholas Longworth Anderson, Robley D. Evans. J. G. Walker, Theo. B. M. Mason, Richard Rush, W. K. Van Reypen, Daniel Morgan Taylor, John Schuyler Crosby, Arthur Henry Dutton, and Archibald Hopkins. In the early part of 1890, the large increase of membership in New York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, and the unanimous manifestation of a desire for a closer bond of as- sociation between these societies, and the establishment of some general rules under which their proceedings might be harmonized, resulted in the appointment of committees from New York and 20 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Pennsylvania, to consider the feasibility of an union, and report their joint action to their several societies. At a conference of these committees in Philadelphia, Feb- ruary 12, 1890, to which was added Mr. Arthur Henry Dutton from District of Columbia, the fundamental principles for a General Society were evolved, and to Mr. Sims was given the honor of drawing a constitution. Clifford Stanley Sims was a Justice of the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals, and, for many years, President of the New Jersey Society of the Cincinnati. In the draft of a consti- tution for Sons of the Revolution, he took as a model, the in- stitution of the Cincinnati. A comparative analysis of the two instruments will disclose how closely he followed such of the sections of the institution as were appropriate for the new Society, adopting, in many portions, the exact language of the original document ; and in submitting the result of his labors, he stated that he had omitted provisions for amendments, believing the course pursued by the Cincinnati, for such emergencies, to be the best. Within less than two months after its submission, the constitution prepared by Mr. Sims and reported by the Joint Committee was unanimously approved and ratified by the three original Societies of New York, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Delegates from these Societies were at once appointed to meet in joint convention to establish the more perfect union contemplated in the Constitution drawn by Judge Sims. At Washington, on the nineteenth day of April, 1890, in Chamberlin's Hotel, the deputies from the three Societies of New York, Pennsylvania and District of Columbia were called to order by Mr. Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, President of the New York Society, and that assemblage of distinguished gentlemen effected the consummation of the work so ardently desired. The General Society, Sons of the Revolution, was established upon the broadest foundations of fraternal and ancestral association, and State equality, and the following gentlemen were the first officers elected : J. D. LIVINGSTON. HISTORICAL SKETCH OF GENERAL SOCIETY. 21 General President, Ex-Governor John Lee Carroll, of Maryland, General Vice-President, Major William Wayne, of Pennsylvania. General Secretary, James Mortimer Montgomery, of New York. Assistant General Secretary, Timothy Matlack Cheesman, of New York. General Treasurer, Richard McCall Cadwalader, of Pennsylvania. Assistant General Treasurer, Arthur Henry Button, of District of Columbia. General Chaplain, Daniel Cony Weston, D. D., of New York. From such simple, slow-growing, but dignified and substan- tial beginnings, has developed the magnificent Society we know and admire to-day and which a friend has pronounced "the most prosperous, united, stable and patriotic organization of our country." At the Sixth Triennial Meeting held in Washington, D. C, on April 27-28, 1908, thirty-two Societies in as many States were reported as firmly established and maintaining an active ex- istence. Others have since been added, including one in far-away Manila. At the Seventh Triennial Meeting held in Washington, D. C, on April 18 and 19, 1911, delegates from eighteen State Socie- ties were in attendance, and thirty-two Societies, with a total active membership of 6,505, were reported as maintaining a gratifying existence. In all there have been fifteen meetings of the General Society since its formation in April, 1890. The dates and places of these meetings are as follows : 22 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION.

In conclusion, we add a few thoughts from our General His- torian, Hon Holdridge Ozro Collins, to whose larger "History of the Society, Sons of the Revolution," (1905), we are so greatly indebted for the condensed sketch here given. In the Appendix to his History, which contains an interesting and de- tailed account of the monuments and memorials erected and other valuable work done both by the General Society and by the various State Societies, his opening words are as follows : "The Society, Sons of the Revolution, has been charged with being only a didactic exposition of sentimental ideas ; that its dominating principles are pride of ancestry and class exclusive- ness ; that its most important work is devoted to the establish- ing of a genealogical descent through four or five generations HISTORICAL SKETCH OF GENERAL SOCIETY. 23 of American progenitors, that we may say we are not as this publican, whose father came to us m the steerage. "How far from the truth are these statements, every member of the order knows. The millionaire, the political leader, or the social autocrat can not be enrolled among our membership, un- less he is descended from a participant on the colonial side, in our War for Independence, and unless he is a man of integrity, and respected by his neighbors. The laborer who earns his bread in the sweat of his daily toil, if qualified, is as welcome to us as he who sits in the executive chair, or presides in our courts of justice." "William Lcverett Chase, the lamented President of the Mas- sachusetts Society, in his address of April 19, 1895, said : " 'The only good from such orders as the Sons of the Revolu- tion may be the highest good if we realize the sacred trust of duties, a proud legacy committed to our faithful keeping — to preserve in their purity, to broaden and ennoble by our own self- sacrifice and transmit to those who come after us, with no spot or stain, unless it be our holy privilege to pour our blood upon the altar of American liberty, and go to our God and our fathers with the only crown we revere — that of martyrdom for princi- ples which have dignified and elevated living, and will shed eternal lustre over dying to maintain and perpetuate.' " SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. The Constitution of the General Society. Done at the City of Philadelphia on the \2th day of February, 1890, and of the Independence of the United States, the one hun- dred and fourteenth. Adopted in the City of Nen' York, March 8th, 1890. Section III amended April 23rd, 1892. Section VIII amended April 21st, 1896. Section VII amended April 19th, 1905. I. It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper celebration of the National holidays of the United States of America, that popular concern in the events and men of the War of the Revolu- tion is gradually declining, and that such lack of interest is attrib- utable, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign countries as to the neglect, on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes, to perform their duty in keeping before the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; therefore, the Society of Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, in the military, naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Continental Con- gress by their acts or counsel, achieved the Independence of the country, and to further the proper celebration of the anniver- saries of the birthday of Washington, and of prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records, and other documents relating to that period ; to inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; and to promote the feeling of friendship among them. STANDARD OF The Society of Sons of the Revolution (Adopted 1891) "Let us raise a Standard, to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hand of God." CONSTITUTION OF THE GENERAL SOCIETY. 25 11. The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their re- spective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient; and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for carrying them into effect adopted. III. The State Societies, at such annual meeting, shall choose, by a majority of the votes present, a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a Treasurer, a Chaplain, and such other ■officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, to- gether with a board of managers consisting of these officers and of nine other members, all of whom shall retain their respective positions until their successors are duly chosen, IV.

V. The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting their own affairs consistent with the general good of the Society ; judge of the qualification of their members, or of those pro- posed for membership, subject, however, to the provisions of this Constitution ; and expel any member who, by conduct unbe- coming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community in general or of the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to continue in member- ship. VI. In order to form funds that may be respectable, each member shall contribute, upon his admission to the Society and annually thereafter, such sums as the by-laws of the respective State Socie- ties may require ; but any of such State Societies may provide 26 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTluyi. for the endowment of memberships by the payment of proper sums in capitaHzation, which sums shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the income only of which shall be expended. VII. The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held every three years, and special meetings may be held upon the order of the General President or upon the request of two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist of two Delegates from each State Society and one additional Delegate for every one hundred (100) members or major fraction thereof; and on all questions arising at meetings of the General Society each Dele- gate there present shall be entitled to one vote, and no votes shall be taken by States, and the necessary expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State Societies. VIII. At the regular meeting, a General President, General Vice- President, General Second Vice-President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Registrar, Historian, and Chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of the votes present, to serve until the next regular general meeting, or until their successors are duly chosen. (At the meeting of the General Society held in Washington, D. C, on April 19, 1911, the following amendment of Section VIII of the Con- stitution was proposed and will be voted on at the next Triennial Meeting, viz. : "Resolved, That Section VIII of the Constitution of the General Society be amended by adding one Vice-President for each State Society and adding two more General Chaplains.") IX. At each general meeting the circular letters which have been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be considered, and all measures taken wdiich shall conduce to the general wel- fare of the Society. X. The General Society shall have power at any meeting to ad- mit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine all questions affecting the qualifications for membership in or the welfare of any State Society as may, by proper memorial, be presented by such State Society for consideration.

SEAL, SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Historical Sketch of Kentucky Society. From the earliest records preserved, it appears that the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the Commonwealth of Kentucky was instituted on June 24, 1894, and was incorporated on the 26th day of January, 1895, and that the following names were signed to the original articles of incorporation, viz. : Lucas Brod- head, George B. Kinkead, Leslie Combs, Robert W. Woolley, James Duane Livingston, John T. Shelby, Desha Breckinridge and Wilbur R. Smith. All of these gentlemen, with the excep- tion of James Duane Livingston, a member of the New York Society, and Wilbur R. Smith, a member of the District of Col- umbia Society, had previously qualified for membership in the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the following order, viz. : Lucas Brodhead, Desha Breckinridge, Leslie Combs, John T. Shelby, R. W. Woolley and Geo. B. Kinkead. It further appears that on divers dates between June 3, 1895, and September 28, 1899, William S. Fulton, Otis S, Tenney, Louis des Cognets, H. B. McClellan, James Edward Bassett, James A. Todd and Geo. W. Ranck, formally subscribed their names to the constitution and by-laws as members of the Society. It further appears that on February 4, 1895, a temporary organization was effected by the election of Leslie Combs, as President, and Wilbur R. Smith, as Secretary. It further appears that: On May 11, 1895, H. B. McClellan, O. S. Tenney and Rev. W. S. Fulton were elected members of the Society, and that a committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws for the Society, and that — On May 20, 1895, Louis des Cognets was received as a mem- ber, a constitution and by-laws were reported to the society by the aforesaid committee and thereupon duly adopted, and the fol- lowing were elected as officers for the ensuing year, viz. : President — Leslie Combs, Vice-President — J. D. Livingston, (29) 30 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. Secretary — Wilbur R. Smith, Treasurer — Louis des Cognets, Historian— li. B. McClellan, Chaplain — Rev. W. S. Fulton, Registrar — Lucas Brodhead, and the following as the Board of Managers, viz. : John T. Shelby, O. S. Tenney, Leslie Combs, W. S. Fulton, J. D. Livingston, W. R. Smith, Lucas Brodhead and H. B. McClellan, and the date of the annual meeting was fixed, for the 4th of July; and the date of the monthly meeting for the first Monday of each month ; and that— On June 3, 1895, at a meeting of the Board of Managers, James A. Todd was duly elected to membership in the Society, and his election was afterwards ratified at a meeting of the Society held on July 24, 1896, and that— On August 8, 1895, at a meeting of the Board of Managers, application for membership was made by James A. Curry, J. Howard Curry, Butler T. Southgate and Thomas R. Morgan, and further that the application of Dr. Henry E. Tuley, of Louisville, Kentucky, for membership, on certificate from the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia, and the application for membership of Chas. Hodge, by certificate from the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the State of Pennsylvania, were approved ; and that — On August 12, 1895, at a meeting of the Board of Managers, the report of the Registrar was received that the applications for membership by Thos. R. Morgan and Butler T. Southgate are correct, and the Board of Managers ordered their names to be recorded as members. Messrs. James A. Curry and J. Howard Curry were requested to furnish certified extracts from the au- thorities referred to in their applications. The foregoing synopsis covers all proceedings for the year 1895. Within the first year of its existence the Society attained a membership of fifteen. By resolution adopted at a meeting of the Society held on March 24, 1911, the articles of incorporation were for the first time ordered amended. These amended articles, constituting the present charter of the Kentucky Society, are given in the follow- ing pages. JUDGE GEO. B. KINKEAD. 3 C^ ROBERT W. WOOLLEY, HISTORICAL SKETCH OF KENTUCKY SOCIETY. 31 Mr. Lucas Brodhead, who took a leading part in the forma- tion of the Society, writes thus of its founding: "I do not know of any facts concerning the early history of our Society that you will not find in the records. Mr. James Duane Livingston, a mem- ber of the New York Society, was the moving spirit in the organ- ization of the Kentucky Society and really organized it. I think I attended all of the early meetings of our Society, but remember nothing worthy of record that took place." Mr. James Duane Livingston, the prime mover in the estab- lishment of the Kentucky Society, testifies to the point as follows : "I was one of the original incorporators of the Society of Sons of the Revolution in New York in 1883, and was instrumental in founding the Kentucky Society. I never transferred my member- ship from New York, but the Kentucky Society accepted me at that time and I thus became one of the founders of the Kentucky Society by reason of membership in the New York Society." Of the other founders of the Kentucky Society, General Wil- bur R. Smith had joined the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia in January, 1894, became one of the incorporators of the Kentucky Society on January 26, 1895, and his membership was transferred from the District of Columbia to the Kentucky Society by certificate issued March 4, 1895. Those who were admitted members and, together with Messrs. Livingston and Smith, took part in the institution of the Society on June 24, 1894, were Lucas Brodhead, Desha Breckinridge, Leslie Combs and John Todd Shelby. Later Robert Wicklifife Woolley and George Blackburn Kinkead qualified for member- ship and united with the other six founders in incorporating the Society. The applications of each of the six new members, in this group of eight, were certified by James Duane Livingston and afterwards approved by James Mortimer Montgomery, Secre- tary-General of the General Society of Sons of the Revolution. The applications of Major H. B. McClellan and of Major Otis S. Tenney, both admitted to membership on May 11, 1895, were also approved by the personal endorsement of the General Secre- tary. To the date of this publication the Society has had altogether a total membership of sixty-four (64), of which number six were acquired by transfer from other State Societies. 32 SONS OF THE REJ-QLUTIOX. While one ancestor is sometimes represented by several repre- sentatives, one member may represent several Revolutionary an- cestors. This accounts for the fact that the Revolutionary ances- tors represented in this Society outnumber the members who have joined it. It is not to be inferred, however, that all of the Revolu- tionary ancestors of each member have been given in the appli- cations. The converse of this is true in numerous instances. Such ancestors, however, may be added to our records at any time by means of supplementary applications. Of the sixty-seven (67) ancestors represented, thirty-four (34), or over half, were of Virginia; Pennsylvania furnished eleven (11); New Jersey furnished five (5); Connecticut fur- nished four (4) ; Maryland and Nevv' York, three (3) each ; Rhode Island, two (2) ; and North Carolina, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, one (1) apiece. Of this same total of sixty-seven (67) Revolutionary heroes represented by descendants in this Society, forty-nine (49) were military officers, one (1) a naval officer, twelve (12) were pri- vates and five (5) were civil officers or served in some important civil capacity. The Society has held at least one meeting each year since its organization, has for several years past tried to have each year at least one formal religious function of a patriotic nature, and has usually celebrated with an annual dinner. Its activities have been hampered somewhat by the smallness of its membership, but this drawback is one which, with proper effort, may be overcome. It is our hope and expectation that with the publication of this Year Book a wider and livelier interest will be aroused in the objects of the Society. On June 17, 1908, the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, we entertained about thirty visitors from the Ohio Society of Sons of the Revolution. On October 19, 1908, the One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh Anniversary of the Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, this courtesy was returned by the Ohio Society of Sons of the Revolution, who on that occasion had as their guests at dinner at the Queen City Club in Cincinnati certain members of the Kentucky Society, to which a general in- vitation had been extended. We contributed twenty-five dollars ($25.00) toward the monument, which has been erected at Annapolis, Maryland, in HISTORICAL SKETCH OF KENTUCKY SOCIETY. 33 honor of the French soldiers and sailors of the Revolution, whose remains are interred there, and which was unveiled and dedicated, with impressive ceremonies, during the sessions of the Triennial Meeting held on April 18 and 19, 1911. The Society has lost from its membership, by death, six mem- bers, whose obituaries will be found printed in the following pages. Without going into further detail, the state of our mem- bership on April 19, 1912, may be recapitulated as follows, viz.: 1. Number of all names on rolls April 19, 1912, counted from the founding of the Society on June 24, 1894 64 2. Lost by death 6 3. Lost by transfer to other State Societies 4 4. Lost by resignation, etc 21 Total Losses 31 31 5. Total Active Membership, April 19, 1912 33 To the same date only three (3) insignia have been issued to members, A duplicate card index of all members, containing a digest of their applications, has been prepared by the Secretary and one set of these cards has been filed with the Registrar-General of the General Society. In several instances applicants for member- ship have failed to prepare duplicates of their papers, but where such duplicates existed, these, too, have been transmitted to the General Registrar for safe-keeping. Any authorized person, hav- ing an interest in the matter, may procure from the Secretary or Registrar a certified copy of any application on payment of a fee of one dollar. 34 SONS OF THE RESOLUTION.

The name of this organization shall be "The Society of Sons OF THE Revolution in the Commonwealth of Kentucky." ARTICLE II. OBJECT. The object of this society is to perpetuate the memory of the men who achieved the independence of the United States ; to com- memorate events and honor places connected with the American Revolution; to assist in collecting- historical material and in pre- serving memorials relating to those events ; to inspire greater devotion to the principles for which our revolutionary forefathers struggled ; to foster the same spirit of patriotism ; and to secure a more faithful prosecution of these ends by the promotion of friendship and good-fellowship among the members of this Society, ARTICLE III. MEMBERSHIP. Any male person above the age of twenty-one years shall be eligible to membership in "Sons of the Revolution" who is de- scended from an ancester, as the propositus, who, either as a mili- tary, naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, or official in the service of any of the thirteen original colonies or States, or of the national government representing or composed of those colonies or States, assisted in establishing American Independence during the War of the Revolution, between the 19th of April, 1775, when the hostilities commenced, and the 19th of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease ; Provided, That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor in the minute-men or militia it must be satisfactorily shown that such ancestor was actually called into (37) 38 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. the service of the United States or of some one of the thirteen original States, and that he performed garrison or field duty; and — Provided, further, That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor as a sailor or marine it must in like manner be shown that such service was other than shore duty, and was regularly performed in the Continental Navy, or in the navy of one of the original thirteen States, or on an armed vessel other than a merchant ship sailing under letters of marque and reprisal ; and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly enrolled in the ship's company, either as an officer, or seaman, or other- wise than as a passenger ; and — Provided, further. That when the claim of eligibility is based on the service of an ancestor as an official, such service must have been performed in the civil service of the United States or of one of the thirteen original States, and must have been sufficiently important in character to have rendered the official especially liable to arrest and imprisonment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, as well as liable to conviction of treason against the government of Great Britain. Service in the ordinary duty of civil office, the performance of which did not particularly and effectively aid the American cause, shall not constitute eligi- bility. In the construction of this article, the volunteer aides-de-camp of general officers in Continental service, who were duly an- nounced as such, and who actually served in the field during the campaign, shall be comprehended as having performed qualifying service. The civil officials and military forces of the State of Vermont during the War of the Revolution shall also be comprehended in the same manner as if they had belonged to one of the thirteen original States. No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying serv- ice for membership in Sons of the Revolution, where such an- cestor, after assisting in the cause of American Independence, shall have subsequently either adhered to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record throughout the War of the Revolu- tion. No person shall be admitted unless he be of good moral character and be judged worthy of becoming a member. CONSTITUTION OF THE KENTUCKY SOCIETY. 39 ARTICLE IV. OFFICERS.

Whenever the cause for expulsion shall not have involved turpitude or moral unworthiness, any member thus expelled may, upon the recommendation of the Board of Managers be restored to membership by the Society at any meeting. The Society may drop from its roll the name of any member who shall be at least one year in arrears in the payment of dues, and who, on notice to pay the same, shall fail to do so within thirty days thereafter, and upon being thus dropped, his mem- bership shall cease and determine ; but he may be restored by the Society to membership at any time, on his application there- for, and upon his payment of all such arrears and of the annual dues from the date when he was dropped to the date of his res- toration. SECTION XIV. DECEASE OF MEMBERS. Upon the decease of any member residing within the State of Kentucky, appropriate action concerning the same shall be taken by the Society and it shall become the duty of the other members, when practicable, to attend the funeral in a body. SECTION XV. DELECMES TO THE GENERAL SOCIETY. Delegates to the General Society shall be chosen by the mem- bers of this Society at its meetings next preceding that of the BY-LAWS. 47 General Society, and, failing such choice, delegates shall be selected by the Board of Managers. SECTION XVI. PROPER METHOD OF WEARING THE INSIGNIA. Sub-Sec. 1. The rosette should be worn in the left lapel of the coat, but never in the overcoat. Where members belong to several orders or societies having rosettes, choice should be made of one rosette; more than one should never be worn at a given time. It is proper to wear rosettes with ordinary house or street dress. No rosette of any order or Society should ever be worn at the same time with the insignia. Sub-Sec. 2. Members of the Society may wear the insignia on the left breast as prescribed in the Constitution. But it is recommended that when the insignia of this Society is used to- gether with the insignia of other orders or societies, the regula- tions of the United States Government for army officers be under- stood as applicable to civilians also, as follows : "The badges are to be worn on the left breast of the coat, the tops of the ribbons forming a horizontal line, the outer end of which shall be from two to four inches (according to the height of the wearer) below the upper line of the shoulder." It may be added for informa- tion, that the Government regulations further provide that "the ribbons be suspended from a bar of metal passed through the upper ends, and attached to the coat." Sub-Sec. 3. Persons who are or have been State officers are entitled to wear the insignia suspended from ribbon around the neck, and are recommended for the dignity of the Society to so wear it, but this ribbon should be used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In the case of a dress suit the insignia should be drawn up to within an inch of the tie. In the case of a uni- form it should hang close to the opening of the military collar. Sub-Sec. 4. Persons who are or have been General officers or hold or have held the office of President or Vice-President of a State Society, are entitled to wear the broad ribbon across the breast, and are recommended for the dignity of the Society to wear it. But this ribbon should be used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In case of a dress suit, it should be worn under the waistcoat ; in case of a uniform, it should be worn 48 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. over the coat. It is recommended that the neck ribbon should not be used at the same time with the broad ribbon. When the latter is worn, the insignia may be suspended from the left breast, or appended to the broad ribbon where the latter crosses the hip. Sub-Sec. 5. The prestige and influence of the Society of Sons of the Revolution depend largely upon the loyalty of its members. It is therefore deemed especially important that every member should possess and should use on all suitable occasions the emblems and insignia of the Society. It is hoped that mem- bers who may not have procured insignia as yet will do so as soon as possible. Finally, it is recommended that on all public patriotic occasions the officers and members of our Society shall urge that proper recognition be given to the representatives of the Society of Sons of the Revolution. SECTION XVII. LOCAL CHAPTERS OF THE SOCIETY IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY. When ten or more members of the Society in the Common- wealth of Kentucky residing within any County of the Common- wealth outside of the City of Lexington and County of Fayette, and outside of any counties immediately adjacent to Fayette County, shall petition the Board of Managers, it may authorize and empower such petitioners to form a local Chapter to be known as the Chapter of Sons of the Revolution in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Such Chapter, when authorized, may adopt such local regulations and by-laws as to it may seem proper, provided that such regulations do not conflict in any particular with the Constitution of the General Society of Sons of the Revolution, or with the Charter, Constitution or By-Laws of the Society in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Only members in good and regular standing in the Society in this Commonwealth shall be eligible to membership in these Chapters.

The Kentucky Society of Sons of the Revolution respect- fully invites attention to the aims of this organization, and so- licits the membership of those who are eligible, in order that its sphere of usefulness may be increased. Our objects are: 1. To keep alive the spirit of patriotism. 2. To revive the memories of the heroes of 1775-1783. 3. To foster devotion toward the institutions of our country. 4. To encourage historical research in relation to the Revo- lution. 5. To preserve documents, relics, and individual records of the Revolutionary Period. 6. To promote the celebration of patriotic anniversaries. 7. To impress the importance of these subjects upon the rising generation. The Society is non-political and non-sectarian. To become a member of this Society, the applicant should be twenty-one years old, of good repute in the community, and be recommended by two members. Proof is required that the applicant is a lineal descendant of an ancestor who was at all times unfailing in his loyalty, and rendered actual service in the cause of American Independence, either as an officer, soldier, seaman, marine or minute-man in the armed forces of the Continental Congress, or any one of the several colonies, or as a signer of the Declaration of Independ- ence, or as a member of any Continental, Provincial, or Colonial Congress or Legislature, or as a civil officer either of one of the colonies or States, or of the National Government, or as a member of a Committee of Safety or Correspondence. The first step in applying for membership should be to as- certain the name of the ancestor who lived at a time that would HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER. 51 possibly include him in the Revolutionary service, and the name of the place in which he lived. Then write to the Adjutant- General or Secretary of State in the Colony or State where the ancestor lived, and obtain from him a certified copy of the an- cestor's record. The certificate should be filed with the Secretary of the Society, together with the names of two persons who have signified their willingness to recommend the applicant. The records, in print or manuscript, of the several States, and of the United States Departments of War, of the Navy, of State, and of the Bureau of Pensions should be consulted. In referring to printed works, the volume and page should in all cases be correctly given. A blank form with full instructions will then be furnished by the Secretary. A concise record of the ancestor's service is required. The pedigree need be traced only to the ancestor who served in the war, but, if desired, may be carried farther back. Citations from authorities in proof of service are required from duly authenticated histories, town and county records, pub- lished genealogies and other printed records. If more than one line of descent is claimed, supplemental applications in duplicate should be made for each line of descent. Reference to authori- ties in manuscript must be accompanied by certified copies, and authentic family papers must be submitted, if required. Mere tradition is not enough. Dates of birth, marriage and death should be given as far as ascertainable. All applications, when complete, should be sent in duplicate to the Secretary. The initiation fee is three dollars ; annual dues, two dollars. Price of gold insignium, eighteen dollars ($18.00) ; price of rosettes, twenty-five cents (25c) each. Ordinary Certificate of Membership, issued by the local Society, costs fifty cents (50c) ; engraved Certificates of Membership, issued by the General Society, cost five dollars ($5.00) each. Insignia and rosettes may be obtained from The Bailey, Banks & Biddle Company, Philadelphia, or through the Secretary or Treasurer of this So- ciety; Certificates of Membership may be obtained by applying to the Secretary and prepaying the cost of same. An authenti- cated copy of any application for membership may be obtained from the Secretary on payment of a fee of one dollar ($1.00). 52 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Blank applications for membership may be had at ten cents (10c) each. INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS. The Society would caution applicants that very little depend- ence can be placed on "family tradition" as to the rank held by one's ancestors. While authentic family records are not to be despised, it is nevertheless true that if family genealogies were to be taken as evidence, or the war stories handed down from one generation to another were to be believed, it would demon- strate that the army of the Revolutionary War was composed almost entirely of captains, majors and colonels. The soldiers of the struggle were held with such veneration by their neigh- bors and friends that, when they reached a good old age, nearly all were dubbed, by courtesy, captain, major or colonel, and family tradition has handed these titles down to posterity. Again, many were officers of militia after the war and obtained titles in that way. So, when the official records are examined, they disclose an altogether dififerent rank, or, as is often the case, no rank at all, and applicants in consequence are sorely disappointed. To begin to make a search for proofs, the applicant must know the State from which the ancestor served; and in writing for information he should simply ask for the military service of such ancestor in the Revolutionary War, giving his name, his State, and, if possible, the name of the county or town from which he served. The following works may be consulted and the following of- ficials and others, in the various States, may be written to for certificates of military service, and for the fees for same: CONNECTICUT. This State has published a very com- plete Roster, containing 27,000 names, which volume is in the Young Men's Mercantile and Public Libraries, Cincinnati, Ohio. DELAWARE. Write Secretary of State, Dover. The rate for office copies is two cents per line, and $L00 additional for certificate. GEORGIA.

Depositions and Patents), in the Kentucky Land Office in the State Capitol, at Frankfort, Ky., and, for certified copies of Military Warrants or other records in the State Land Office, write the Auditor of Public Accounts or the Clerk of the Land Office at Frankfort. Also, consult the Year Book for 1896 of Kentucky Society of Sons of — the American Revolution ; Heitman's "Historical Register of Of- ficers of the Continental Army" ; Safifell's "Records of the Revo- . lutionary War" ; Collins' History of Kentucky ; Filson Club Pub- lications, especially Vol. 2, on "The Wilderness Road," Vol. 12, on "Bryan's Station," and on "Battle of Blue Licks," Vol. 16, on "Boonesborough," and Vol. 26, on "The Kentucky Moun- > tains," with Pension Rolls in Appendix ; Green's Historic Fam-^ ilies of Kentucky ; Virginia Magazine of History and Biography ; Calendar of Virginia State Papers ; Waddell's Annals of Au- gusta County, Virginia, and other authoritative histories of Virginia counties ; Chalkley's Abstracts 'from the Records of Augusta County, Virginia; Summers' History of Southwest Virginia ; Draper's "King's Mountain and Its Heroes" ; "Dun- more's War," by Thwaites and Kellogg; "The Revolution on the Upper Ohio, 1775-1777," by Thwaites and Kellogg; "Frontier Defense on the Upper Ohio, 1777-1778," by Thwaites and Kel- logg; "Conquest of the Northwest," by Wm.

Write to Chief Clerk in the State Auditor's Department, Raleigh. Will search for name, and, if found, will furnish a certificate for $5.00. The Revolutionary rolls of this State are irretrievably lost, and all that can be found is a list of the officers of the ten Continental Regiments from North Carolina, which were a very small part of the force North Carolina, from time to time, put in the field ; and a few fragments of the roll of the rank and file of those Regiments. Practically all of the material in existence has been published in the Revolutionary Records of North Carolina, to be seen in the Lexington Public Library. The Secretary of Young Men's Mercantile Library Association, Cincinnati, Ohio, also has the list of the officers of the ten Regiments mentioned above, which can be consulted there. PENNSYLVANIA. Write State Librarian, Harrisburg, who will cause a search to be made to find the name, the fee for which will be $2.00, and if the name is found and a certifi- cate furnished, $1.00 more, or $3.00 in all.

Write to Secretary of State, Colum- bia, or Secretary South Carolina Historical Society, Charleston. There are no Rosters in existence of the Revolutionary soldiers from this State, so far as known. The State has little or noth- ing. The New York Historical Society, 170 Second Avenue, New York City, has a few volumes containing some Rosters of officers and privates, but yery meager. VERMONT. Write Adjutant-General, Montpelier. No charge for making research, but where name is found, the charge is $2.00 for furnishing certificate, VIRGINIA. The Revolutionary records in this State are very meager, and it is difficult to find anything; they consist mainly of the records of Land Bounty Warrants, which were is- sued by the State to soldiers who served three years or more. Write. Mr. W. G. Stanard, 314 West Gary St., Richmond, a- gentleman highly recommended who has given considerable at- tention to tracing Virginia genealogies ; he will make research of everything there is available at the State Capital, for which he charges $1.00, to be paid in advance. If he finds the name, he will notify applicant and will charge $1.50 more to furnish certificate of- same. Much may be found in the Virginia Maga- zine of History and Biography, and in the Calendar of Virginia State Papers. Reliable county histories, like Waddell's Annals of Augusta County, also furnish much valuable and authentic information. See, also, Chalkley's Abstracts from the Records of Augusta County, Virginia, and "List of Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia," published by the Virginia State Library, at Rich- mond, Va., and Revolutionary Militia of Virginia, by J. T. McAllister. The fees should in all cases accompany the inquiry, and where no charge is made for research, if the name is not found, the money will be returned by the officials. U. S. PENSION ROLLS. If applicants have reason to be- lieve their ancestors drew a pension, they can get a record of their military servce by writing the Chief of Record and Pen- sion Office, War Department, Washington, D. C. There is no 56 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. cost for obtaining this data, and it takes ordinarily about thirty days to get a reply. The government passed no general pension laws until 1818, when it granted pensions to those who had served nine months or more in the Continental Army or Navy, but not to State troops, militia or minute-men. In 1832, pensions were granted to all officers and soldiers, whether Continental, State or Militia, who had served one or more terms, a period of two years. A mistaken idea prevails that there are on file in the Adjutant- General's office, complete rosters of the soldiers of the Revolu- tionary War, and that it is only necessary to write to that depart- ment to obtain a record of the ancestor's service. There are no complete rosters of Revolutionary soldiers in any department of the Government, nor anywhere else. CERTIFICATES OF MEMBERSHIP. The Certificate of Membership issued by the local Society is reproduced on the next page. The price of same is fifty cents (50c), to be paid when certificate is ordered. The Certificate of Membership issued by the General Society is shown in the Report of the proceedings of the Special Meeting of the General Society held in Boston, Mass., on April 19, 1895. It there appears as an insert between pages 54 and 55, and on page 54 of this Report are a description of the certificate and directions for securing same. This certificate is printed on parchment, was designed by Stanford White, and the plate was etched by William Sartain. The size of the plate, 19 x 24 inches, will permit inscribing the name and service of but one ancestor. To cover the cost of plate, parchment, engraving, engrossing, affixing seal, etc., the price has been fixed at five dollars ($5.00). Any member desiring either of the above certificates, will please send the name of the ancestor he may wish to have appear there- in, together with a remittance to cover cost of same, to the Secre- tary of the Kentucky Society. to G ^ — .

Tenney, LL.D., our venerable president and the dean of the Lexington Bar, was born on December 4, 1822, in Hanover township, New Hampshire. His father was Seth Tenney, who served in the war of 1812 with the rank of cap- tain, and his grandfather, David Tenney, was a soldier of the Revolutionary army. Major Tenney received a good education, entering Norwich Listitute at thirteen years of age, preparatory to college, and graduating at Norwich University in 1845. From the same university, two years later, he received the master's degree, and in 1881, the degree of doctor of laws. After leav- ing the university he was an instructor in a military institute at Wilmington, Del., but soon removed to Kentucky, and estab- lished a military school at old Fort Mason, near Mt. SterHng, in 1847. Subsequently he began the study of law with Col. Walter Chiles, of Mt. Sterling, and in March, 1849, was ad- mitted to the bar. He continued in the practice of his profes- sion, without interruption, until 1862, when he began his serv- ice for the Confederacy as drill master for the battalion raised by Thomas Johnson. At the organization of this command as the Second Battalion, Mounted Rifles, Johnson was elected lieu- tenant-colonel commanding, and Tenney received the rank of major. In this capacity he served during the remainder of the war, in numerous raids, campaigns and skirmishes, was with Generals Wheeler and Forrest at McMinnville and Farming- ton, with Wheeler in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and the Caro- linas, with Morgan at Mt. Sterling, Ky., and Greenville, Tenn., where the famous commander was killed, with Jubal A. Early in the Shenandoah Valley, and toward the last of the war, in the engagements at Saltville and Marion, in southwest Virginia. When General Lee surrendered, he was still in that region, and thence returning to Mt. Sterling, he surrendered there, with many of his comrades, April 14, 1865. (57) 58 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. When peace was restored, he attempted to resume his prac- tice, but was refused permission by the presiding judge of the Montgomery Circuit Court, who ruled that he was not a citizen, according to the expatriation act passed by the Kentucky Legis- lature in 1861-62. He thereupon appealed to the Court of Ap- peals, the highest State court at Frankfort, and obtained a de- cision which restored not only him, but many other Confederate soldiers, to their privileges at the bar. (See Ex parte Tenney, 2 Duvall, 351, separate concurring opinions by Judges Robert- son and Williams.) Major Tenney continued in the practice at Mt Sterling until 1882, during that time being twice the candidate of his party for the position of circuit judge of the district. Since 1882 he has been a citizen of Lexington and prominent in the legal pro- fession of that city. In his prime he ranked with the masters of the profession in Central Kentucky, but, of recent years, owing to the weight of advancing age he has been content to retire from active practice, while still filling most gracefully the position of dean of the local bar. On May 18, 1848, he was married to Junia M. Warner, daughter of James Warner, of Delaware, and there were three children born of this marriage, Lillian H., who married Joseph B. Russell, a banker of Boston, Mass., and brother of Gov. Wil- liam E. Russell; Anna M., wife of W. W. Hamilton, of Lex- ington, formerly of Mt. Sterling, Ky., who died December 6, 1907; and Harriet H., who died November 26, 1863. Major Tenney is Commander of John C. Breckinridge Camp, No. 100, of the Confederate Veteran Association of Kentucky and has been such for many years. He is also the honored President of the Sons of the Revolution in the State of Kentucky and, with the exception of an interval of a single year, when, in 1907, by reason of a daughter's illness, he was compelled to be in Southern Texas, he has held the office of President contin- uously since 1902.

RANCK, CHARLES SCOTJ BRENT, HENRY B. McCLELLAN, WILLIAM C. P. BRECKINRIDGE. JAMES A. CURRY, RURIC N. ROARK. i!^K^ GEORGE W. RANCK GEORGE WASHINGTON RANCK. On August 2, 1901, at 10:47 o'clock, while walking on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad tracks just below Tarr's Distil- lery in front of the old Ater place, in the west end of the city of Lexington, George W. Ranck, Lexington's distinguished historian and literateur, was struck and instantly killed by engine No. 18 of the L. & N. train from Louisville, due to reach Lexington at 10:59 a. m. At the time of his tragic death he had been exam- ining a spot of ground associated with the first settlement of Lexington, and, evidently bent on fixing definitely a certain local- ity, had his attention wholly centered on the problem when the fast-moving train ran him down. The data he was collecting was to be used in a historical paper he had agreed to prepare for this Society. George W. Ranck was born in Louisville, February 13, 1841. His father, Solomon Ranck, a descendant from a Huguenot fam- ily, removed immediately afterwards to Shelbyville, Kentucky, where the son was reared. There, also, about 1855, he attended Shelby College, one of his teachers being J. Proctor Knott, after- wards Governor of Kentucky. During the school year of 1864 he attended Kentucky University at Harrodsburg, living in the family of President A. R. Milligan. He followed the University to Lexington in 1865 and became a teacher and later principal in its academy. In 1868 he married Helen Carty, daughter of John Carty, one of Lexington's prominent citizens of that time. In the year 1868, by becoming editor of the Lexington Observer and Reporter, he began the literary work which he continued until his death. But ill health forced him to abandon this paper in 1871. From his early life, Mr. Ranck's taste tended strongly to litera- ture, and especially to the study of the history of his native State. There are few more valuable contributions to local history than those produced by his pen, and he was justly considered one of the closest and best-informed students of Kentucky history. He compiled his well-known History of Lexington in 1872 ; in 1875, "O'Hara and His Elegies" ; and in 1882, the History of Fayette County. Since that time he has published "Bryan's Station," and "Boonesborough," always devoting himself to study. Colonel W. H. Polk, the antiquarian and historian of Central Kentucky, (83) 84 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. ha? pronounced Ranck's "Boonesborough" "the ablest and most comprehensive of all his works" and in his "Daniel Boone," Reuben Gold Thwaites, the distinguished historian of Wisconsin, calls it a "stately monograph." His other writings include "The Traveling Church" and "Girty, the White Indian." He was a member of the Filson Club and of the Virginia Historical Society and of other societies organized for historical and research work. While he regarded Lexington as his home, of late years he had spent much of his time in travelling. Though not a member of any church, he attended Christ Church Cathedral. He was sur- vived by his wife, two daughters, Miss Helen C. Ranck and Mrs. George P. Ross, of Lexington, and a son, Mr. Edwin C. Ranck, himself a writer of ability. In all the relations of life Mr. Ranck was a model citizen. Ideal in his home life, he was a loyal friend, a courageous, high- minded, polished gentleman. He was especially interested in the organization of this Society and in its work, and gave freely of his time and energies to its development. The value of his serv- ices to it can not be overestimated, and the Society will not only miss his kindly and genial presence, but will continue to feel the loss of his faithful and painstaking labors. CHARLES SCOTT BRENT. Charles Scott Brent, a member of this Society, died in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, on the night of July 1, 1903, after an illness of some months. I\Ir. Brent was born in Paris, Kentucky, March 3, 1844, and was engaged in business in his native city until he came to Lex- ington, about twenty years before his death. Engaging actively in business here, he was recognized as a most important factor in the commercial interests of the community. He was one of the largest grain and seed dealers in the State, and for years a director of the Fayette National Bank. Courteous and attractive in manner, of large experience in business, scrupulously fair, just and liberal in all of his dealings, success followed his enterprises, and he was universally held in high regard by his fellow-citizens. He served from 1862 to the end of the Civil War as a soldier C. S. BRENT. HEXRV BRAIXARD McCLELLAN. 85 in the Union Army, being First Lieutenant of Company B, Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, U. S. A. Mr. Brent took the greatest interest in this Society and in its work, and gave freely of his time and counsel in the promo- tion of its interests. The value of a life like his can not be esti- mated. His strict integrity, unfailing courtesy, uniform fairness in his dealings with his fellows, his unassuming dignity and lofty Christian manhood could not fail to leave an impress upon the community in which he lived, and upon those who knew his man- ner of life. He was in his sixtieth year at the time of his death, and was survived by his wife (who, before marriage, was Elizabeth T, Young, a descendant of the Carrs and Todds of Virginia and Kentucky), by three sons, Alfred K., Harry K. and Charles Scott Brent, Jr., and a daughter, Elizabeth Brent, now Mrs. Don Forman. HENRY BRAINARD McCLELLAN. Major H. B. McClellan, for thirty-four years Principal of Sayre Institute, was, on Saturday, October 1, 1904, stricken with apoplexy while attending services in the First Presbyterian Church and later in the same day died at his home on Park Avenue, in the city of Lexington. Born in Philadelphia, Pa., on October 17, 1840, he lacked but a few days of being sixty-four years of age. He was descended from an old Connecticut family, his grandfather serving with merited distinction in the war of the Revolution. Major McClellan himself served with distinction in the Confederate Army, rising from the ranks. He entered the army in May, 1861, as a private in the Third Virginia Cavalry, C. S. A. Early in the war he was made Second Lieutenant and Adjutant in General Fitzhugh Lee's brigade. He served on the Peninsula under General Magruder and during the Battle of Chancellorsville was promoted to the rank of Major. During the third and fourth years of the war he served, with the rank of Major, as Assistant Adjutant General and Chief of Staff of the Cavalry Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, under General J. E. B. Stewart, and after Stewart's death under General Wade Flamp- 86 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. ton. For three months previous to his assignment to General Hampton's command he was on the personal staff of General Robt. E. Lee. Major jMcClellan came to Kentucky shortly after the close of the war. In 1869 he was Assistant at Sayre Institute. The fol- lowing year he was elected its Principal and served continuously in that capacity until his resignation at the conclusion of the school session ending in June, 1904. During the thirty-four years of his principalship, more than 400 young women were graduated from Sayre Institute. Among these are found some of the most promi- nent women in Kentucky and other States. Until co-education was instituted in colleges and the tuition of girls' schools cheapened, Sayre Institute, under Major McClellan, became one of the most famous schools for young ladies in the South, as many as 303 students having matriculated in a single year. In spite of the exacting nature of his duties as the head of a large school. Major McClellan found time to produce some valu- able military papers, particularly in relation to cavalry operations in the Civil War. At the reunion of the Army of Northern Vir- ginia, held at Richmond, Virginia, on October 27, 1880, he deliv- ered the chief address. In 1885 he published his "Life and Cam- paigns of Major-General J. E. B. Stewart," a valuable contribu- tion to the literature of the Civil War. He was a devoted member of the Kentucky Society of Sons of the Revolution, untiring in his efforts to promote its growth and welfare, and ready at all times to render service in its behalf. At the time of his death he was the Society's honored Secretary, to which office he had been elected for several successive terms. Major McClellan was a Southerner only by adoption. He was born in Philadelphia and educated in Massachusetts. At the age of eighteen, after graduating from Williams College, he went to Virginia, where, until the breaking out of the war he worked on a plantation and taught a private school in Cumberland County. During his short stay in Virginia he early fell in love with the generous character of its people, and in the war espoused the cause of his adopted home. On the 2d of June, 1904, Sayre Institute (now Sayre College) celebrated its semi-centennial, and at the same time the 34th anni- versary of Major McClellan's principalship. At that time many beautiful and deserved compliments were paid to him. As a citi- MAJOR H. P.. McCLELLAN.

He left the imprint of his character upon his students and, more than any other individual, was responsible for the noble work done by the institution of learning, over which he so long presided. In this and other States he was honored and loved by many, in hundreds of homes where his death was mourned as that of a father. On December 31, 1863, he was married to Catharine, daughter of George H. Matthews, of Buckingham County, Virginia. Mrs. McClellan was always an invaluable helpmate to her husband, sharing with him the management and responsibilities of Sayre Institute. Major ]\IcClellan was survived by his wife and six children, one son and five daughters. They are : Dr. John Hancock Mc- Clellan, of Chicago, 111., and Miss Mary C. McClellan, a graduate in medicine, who is also practicing her profession in Chicago. Misses Margaret and Georgia McClellan are teachers of excel- lent capacity, engaged in school work, the former in Lexington, Ky., and the latter in Chicago. The two remaining daughters, Anna and Emily McClellan are married, the former being the wife of John E. Holloway, of Biarritz, France, and the latter the wife of Rev. Albert R. Vail, of Urbana, Illinois. WILLIAM CAMPBELL PRESTON BRECKINRIDGE. William Campbell Preston Breckinridge was born near Balti- more, Maryland, on the 28th of August, 1837, and died in Lex- ington, Kentucky, November 19, 1904. He was liberally educated, being a graduate of Center College, of Danville, Kentucky, in the famous class of 1855 and of the Louisville Law School. His career at the bar was begun under favorable circumstances. Thor- oughly equipped with a comprehensive education and endowed by nature with superior mental ability, his advancement in his chosen profession was steady and rapid. He practiced law in Lexington from 1858 till September, 1861. His army service, however, interrupted his early career at the bar, for during the Civil War he espoused the cause of the South under the leader- 88 SONS OF THE REJ'OLUTION. ship of his illustrious cousin, John C. Breckinridge, and as a captain in General Morgan's cavalry command went forth to battle for the Southern Confederacy, He was a brave and fear- less soldier, and rose to the rank of Colonel of the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, C. S. A. For two years after his return home he edited the Lexington Observer and Reporter, and then again turned his attention to the law, in which field of endeavor he rapidly rose to distinction. He was also chosen as one of the professors of law in the Ken- tucky (now Transylvania) University. His congressional record is a matter of history. For five successive terms he was elected to represent the Lexington or Ashland District in the law-making body of the nation, and served from the Forty-ninth to the Fifty- third Congress, 1885-1895, inclusive, being elected each time with- out serious opposition. Fie was recognized as one of the most gifted orators in the House of Representatives, and his eloquence and masterful understanding of the issues discussed, conspicu- ously that of the tarifif, won him a national reputation. After his retirement from office he practiced law in Lexington and con- tinued to practice law until his death. For the seven last years of his life he was editor of the Lexington Herald. His law part- ner for nearly thirty years before his death was Hon. John Todd Shelby, of the Lexington Bar. In his prime he was one of the most brilliant orators in America and was familiarly known as "the silver-tongued orator" of Kentucky, and his pre-eminence as a lawyer and writer was widely recognized. In 1894 Colonel Breckinridge was not a candidate for the con- gressional election, having been defeated in the primary by W. C. Owens, of Georgetown. In 1896 he espoused the cause of that branch of the Democratic party represented in the Indianapolis convention and was one of the most prominent figures in that body of men gathered as the "exponents of good government and sound money," as opposed to the "Chicago platform" and the candidacy of William J. Bryan. He made an active canvass in behalf of the principles enunciated there, and was a factor in the success of the issue. He was defeated for re-election, although he received a vote in the Seventh, or Ashland, District, where he was a candidate of the "sound-money Democracy" and the Repub- lican party combined, largely in excess of any previously given to him in any of his successful campaigns. He was a candidate COLONEL W. C. P. BRECKINRIDGE. WILLIAM CAMPBELL PRESTON BRECKINRIDGE. 89 not from choice, but from necessity, and was well content to remain in his home and at his law practice rather than to again enter the arena of politics. Colonel Breckinridge was thrice married. First to Lucretia Hart Clay, granddaughter of Henry Clay and daughter of Thomas Hart Clay. Secondly, to Issa Desha, daughter of Dr. John R, Desha and granddaughter of Governor Joseph Desha. His third wife was his cousin, Mrs. Louise Scott Wing, daughter of Robert W. Scott and widow of Rumsay Wing, United States minister to Ecquador. Of his children, Desha Breckinridge, after graduating at Princeton, was educated in the law in his father's ofifice and in the law department of the University of Columbia (now George Washington University), admitted to the bar at Lexington in 1892 and afterwards associated with his father, has for sixteen years been principal owner and editor of the Lexington Herald. Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge, a daughter, was ad- mitted to the Lexington Bar in December, 1896, but after prac- ticing there but a short time, pursued her studies to the Doctor's degree in the University of Chicago, and has been ever since con- nected with that institution. She has written much on economic and social subjects. Ella D. Breckinridge, another daughter, is the wafe of Judge Lyman Chalkley, of Lexington. Curry Breck- inridge, the youngest daughter, has interested herself in educa- tional work. TRIBUTES. (By James Poyntz Nelson.) The simplicity of Colonel Breckinridge's life forbids any ex- travagant praise of him. The very language of justice to his character seems like an exaggeration. The portrait of one be- loved, be it ever so perfect, is only an illustration of the original. To us who knew this great man, in his many-phased, wonderful life, any portrayal of him must be insufficient. This tribute is only the words of him who would speak not completely, but justly and lovingly. Carlyle, in his essay on Robert Burns, draws a fine picture of the storm-beaten vessel as it casts anchor at last in its safe harbor. What if its sails are rent and its rigging torn and its hull scarred by pitiless gales and relentless seas? The Master has brought his precious cargo safe and duty is fulfilled. Through 90 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. stress and storm Colonel Breckinridge brought the precious cargo of his soul safe into port and delivered it to the God who gave it. Conflicts beset his way, but we know the splendor of his courage. He was a man of incomparable gifts. Many and rare virtues shone throughout his life. In his great public career he was un- tainted by failure to fulfill the obligations put upon him. We take measure of his greatness should we look about us for some one to fill his place. The State is bereft and we are without a leader. Where can Kentucky find such another son? Where for her people is such another wise counselor? He belongs to a day of splendid things. He leaves us comfortless. We call the roll of those who once made Kentucky foremost in our nation's councils. No answer. Behold our house is left unto us desolate. Colonel Breckinridge was an analyst, pre-eminently a teacher. He loved to define and to instruct, and his instruction was a delight for its lucidity. He gave of himself always the best. Nothing was too simple for him to lend it his serious thought. Nothing too great for him to master. A child's question was as worthy of thought- ful answer as that of the most learned. The answer to the child was as full of the Master's wisdom as that to the seeker after profound truth. To him truth was positive and all truth momen- tous. His mind dwelt with truth and kept fellowship with wis- dom. To one he was the brave soldier ; to another the wise statesman, the convincing pleader, the orator with lips aglow with divine fire. To many he was a soul in love with the true, the beautiful, the good, a mind illumined by transcendent knowledge. His lips spoke only that which is pure and just and right. He was an honest man. He was beloved. He led us, and to follow him, whether in victory or defeat, was a privilege, our pride and our delight. Eminent among Colonel Breckinridge's virtues was his intel- lectual integrity, linked with lofty intellectual courage. Thor- oughly equipped and disciplined, his mind met every question squarely, without prejudice, and then gave answer in language that left no room for doubt. W' hatever he touched he illumined. The learning of others was purer from his using. Men's hearts throbbed in response to the power of his words and he swayed them at his will. But he moved them with lofty motives, with sublime purposes, to right issues. WILLIAM CAMPBELL PRESTON BRECKINRIDGE. 91 To think of him as gone is as though life had lost something of its strength and reality. Yet he is not lost to us, for our love for him has made him part of us. It enfolds and enshrouds him. His gentleness and courtesy, his sweetness and helpfulness, are as dear to us as his wisdom and greatness. Too sacred, save for tenderest recollections, are the evidences that he gave of his bene- ficent friendship. These we keep with those treasures that men hold dearest, and dying make mention of. (By Dr. John A. Lewis.) On Saturday, November 19, 1904, at the silent hour of mid- night, when the intelligence was flashed over our broad land that the noble and generous heart of Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge had been stilled, and that his great brain had ceased its activity forever, deep sadness came to the heart of many a comrade who wore the gray. Others knew him and loved him and ad- mired him as a politician, statesman, lawyer, orator, but none knew him and none loved him as did we, his old soldiers and comrades who followed him through long years of danger and privation on the tented field. As our captain, our colonel, our brigade commander, we had followed him upon many a hard-fought field. Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia had all been eye- witnesses to our conflicts. Nothing daunted us, neither the suns of summer nor the storms of winter, nor mountains, nor swollen rivers, nor miry roads, nor hunger, nor thirst, nor the battle, if he was at the fore. As Captain commanding his old company, or as Colonel commanding his own beloved regiment, the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, or as Acting Brigadier in command of the Kentucky Cavalry Brigade ; whether under the command of Gen- eral John H. Morgan or "Fighting" Joe Wheeler, he never failed to receive from his superiors praise and recognition for his sol- dierly ciualities. He was a superb soldier, brave, faithful, constant, unfaltering, honored and beloved — even adored — by every good and true soldier in his regiment. His soldiers knew that he had a brave and generous heart, because he shared with them their every hardship and their scanty rations and braved with them the storm of battle on many a trying day. How I wish he could have bequeathed to some friend or comrade his noble and generous nature, his soldierly qualities and his great brain, with its store- 92 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. house of knowledge. What a blessing it would have been to the human family ! To me it has always seemed inexpressibly sad that for a human being gifted by nature, after being carefully reared and trained by loving hands at great outlay of treasure and labor, then having passed through the rich school of experi- ence, going out fully equipped for the grave responsibilities of life, having arrived at that point in his existence when he might prove a real blessing to mankind, his time is up, the gavel falls and his voice is forever hushed in the corridors of time. To-day we stand in the presence of just such a picture. What a mine of treasure was lost to the world when the great heart of Colonel Breckinridge ceased to beat, and his great brain ceased to think ! To-day peace to his ashes, and all honor to his illustrious memory. JAMES ANDREW CURRY. On March 29, 1909, at his home at 615 North Broadway, in Lexington, Kentucky, died, in his eighty-first year, James Andrew Curry, one of the best known and best-loved men of that city. He was born in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, on January 23, 1829, and, after little more than three years of training in country schools of his native county, he secured, at the early age of fif- teen, a position in the Harrodsburg Post Office. At sixteen years of age he was apprenticed to an uncle to learn the tailor trade. Completing his apprenticeship in four years, he then engaged in the merchant tailoring business on his own account. This lasted but a year or two, when he found his interest drawn to the drug business. He was connected with the drug business in Harrods- burg until 1878, when he sold out and moved to Danville, Ky. There he carried on the same business until 1883, when he came to Lexington. In this city he became a member of the wholesale grocery firm of Curry, Tunis & Norwood, the name under which the firm continued until Mr. Curry's death. The name of James A. Curry is connected with practically all of the efiforts for the better development of the civic life of Lex- ington that were undertaken after he came to make that city his home. He was a philanthropist of the noblest type, a prominent churchman, financier, public-spirited citizen and successful busi- JAMES A. CURRY. JAMES ANDREW CURRY. 93 ness man. His whole life was one of usefulness to many indus- tries and institutions. He was an elder in the Second Presbyterian Church for more than thirty years, and was ever active in the afifairs of the church. He was also one of the chief factors in establishing the Young Men's Christian Association building in Lexington, and was the largest individual contributor to the fund that erected the beau- tiful structure. He became President of the Association in 1894, and continued so until the time of his death. He was vitally in- terested in the efforts of young men to better themselves, and many who were never connected with the Y. M. C. A, were helped through a college course or started in a profitable business career by his kindly interest and generosity. The Good Samaritan Hos- pital was another one of the important public charities which he signally befriended. Mr. Curry celebrated his eightieth birthday in January, 1909, but, imtil a few days before the end, there was scarcely any re- laxation in his business duties. He seemed as hale and hearty as in the days of young manhood. There is always a shock when a widely-known man passes away, but the sure test of his greatness and worth is the sense of loss felt after the shock is past. As years roll by men are forgotten, but if their lives have not been failures, their works do not die. All over Kentucky the name of James Andrew Curry is linked with the memory of good deeds. Lasting monuments, in the hearts of friends, are reared in Lexington and throughout his native State to the worth of this Christian gentleman. But the world is better because of the life of the man, by whose death in the fullness of his fruitful years, many were made to grieve. Two sons and two daughters survived him: J. Howard Curry, until recently head of the large wholesale grocery house of Curry, Brown & Snyder, of Lexington ; T. P. Curry, of Danville, Ken- tucky ; Mrs. J. T. Tunis, of Lexington, Kentucky; and Mrs. C. H. Tebbitts, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. 94 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. RURIC NEVEL ROARK. Dr. Ruric N. Roark, President of the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, of Richmond, Kentucky, and one of the most widely-known educators of the day, died in his fiftieth year on April 14, 1909, at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, where he had been under treatment from a general breakdown due to overwork. In the midst of his initiatory work of making the Kentucky State Normal School, in the Eastern District, a great professional institution, he was called away from his plans to higher things. He was just entering upon work in what he considered to be his sphere of greatest usefulness. Dr. Roark was born at Greenville, Muhlenberg County, Ken- tucky, May 19, 1859. He was educated in the Greenville Academy and in the National University at Lebanon, Ohio, where he was graduated in 1881. He married Miss Mary Creegan at Lebanon in 1882. He taught for several years in his alma mater. In 1885 he established the Glasgow Normal School at Glasgow, Kentucky, where he remained four years, when he was selected as Dean of the Pedagogical Department of State University at Lexington, Kentucky. In this position he remained for seventeen years, ful- filling his duties most acceptably and meeting with remarkable success. He resigned in 1905. After spending a year in post-graduate work in Clark Uni- versity, at Worcester, Massachusetts, he was selected as President of Eastern Kentucky State Normal School, in which position he remained up to the time of his death. Dr. Roark received the degree of Ph. D. from the National Normal University at Leb- anon, Ohio, in 1896. He was the author of some popular teachers* professional books. Chief among these is his Psychology in Edu- cation, which has had an extensive influence. His other books are Economy in Education, Method in Education and General Outline of Pedagogy. These text-books have all commanded a wide sale. He also contributed a number of valuable articles on educational topics to various magazines and teachers' journals. He was considered by experienced educators to be one of the best institute conductors in the South and did a great deal of that work in this State. His work in that line was not confined to PROFESSOR RURTC X. ROARK RURIC NEVEL ROARK. 95 Kentucky, but extended into a number of other States, where his ability won for him an enviable place among the prominent edu- cators of the country. He was one of the most prominent and efficient leaders in the teachers' fight for better educational facili- ties in the State and for higher salaries, and much of the success of this movement is due to his untiring efforts. Dr. Roark was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Richmond. After Dr. Roark's death the affairs of the Normal School were conducted for a time by his accomplished wife, and since the election of Prof. J. G. Crabbe (formerly State Superintendent of Public Instruction) to the Presidency of the Normal School, Mrs. Roark has held the position of Dean of Women. The following is a tribute to Dr. Roark by Mr. P. W. Grin- stead, of Campbell County, Kentucky, a member of the Board of Regents of the Normal School and a personal friend of Dr. Roark : While yet at the meridian of life, as one would think, and just as his long-cherished plans and life-time hopes for better educational ideals in Kentucky were being realized, the death of Dr. Roark comes with grievous shock to the people of this, his native State. Few men have lived and worked to a more fruitful end than he. The death of no man has caused the State-wide, personal grief that will be felt when his passing is known to our people. Scarcely can there be found even a small community in the State that has not felt his gentle, genial influence, either as a teacher, as institute lecturer, or as a writer upon educational topics. He has instructed the present generation of the Common- wealth, and has thus created for them ideas of fundamental living and therefore of enduring character upon which the future Ken- tucky is to be builded. Born in Muhlenberg County, in May, 1859, his early educa- tion was in the common schools and in Greenville Academy. Thence he went to Ohio for his higher education, graduating from the National Normal University at Lebanon in 1881, where he also taught for four years, and where he married Miss Mary Creegan the year following his graduation. He then returned to Kentucky and became President of the Glasgow Normal School, where he remained until 1889, when he was appointed dean of the Normal Department at State College, which position he held for seventeen years. It was here that he really did his 96 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. life's work. As head training teacher of the student teachers of the Commonwealth, he was the fountain head of inspiration. A thorough and painstaking student himself, he became the personal ideal of those who came to his classes. A cheerful, happy, optimistic gentleman in personality, he showed, without preachment or precept, how to get happiness by giving pleasure and good cheer, as the flower sheds perfume without losing its fragrance, or as the bird warbles its own joy into the world about it. This spirit has not died. It will remain among us, inspiring and yet to inspire our youth. Those who shall never see this great, good teacher and lover of his fellowmen, and even those who shall never hear his name spoken, shall yet receive the benefi- cence of his gracious spirit, reflected and reproduced in others, again living and blessing those upon whom its benign influence may fall. Not only did he teach Kentuckians how to think and how to live, but he wrote books for his profession. His "Psychology in Education," "Methods in Education" and "Economy in Educa- tion" are standard works everywhere — even in foreign lands. Thousands of American teachers read them as they prepare them- selves for their chosen profession. For years Dr. Roark has been in great demand in other States for educational lectures and as an instructor of teachers' insti- tutes. Many times he has been called to positions in other States. But he loved Kentucky. His greatest desire was to be of service to his State. The duty uppermost and nearest and dearest to him was the betterment of educational conditions in Kentucky. It was he more than any one man who showed the need of trained, better educated teichers, and created by his example, by his in- spiration, and by his work such a sentiment in favor of State Normal Schools that the Legislature, in 1906, by unanimous vote of both Houses, established two such institutions. Now, three years after their establishment, 1,800 students are being trained in these normal schools. But he did not go to the Legislature to ask for normal schools. He was quietly pursuing his advanced studies at Clark University, far away from where his work had been done, having resigned his position at State College the year before in order to again become a student. When the Governor appointed the Regents for the State Normal Schools, Ruric Nevel Roark's name was the only one RURIC NEVEL ROARK. 97 mentioned for President of the Eastern School at Richmond. With one accord they asked him to take charge of the school. Without hesitation, without inquiring what the salary was to be, and without even waiting but a few days to receive from Clark University the doctor's degree, for which he had been studying, he came at once back home and entered again upon his great work, that of building for the "Great Empire of Eastern Ken- tucky," as he was wont to call it, a school to train the teachers of our children for all time to come. In this arduous labor he shed his life's blood. Surrounded with difficulties of all kinds — lawsuits, lack of adequate funds, meagre accommodations, a small faculty — he toiled on, and lived only to know that the school is assured of permanent State support and adequate income to make it what it should be. But it is the irony of fate, as he is being laid to rest in the Richmond cemetery, that a number of magnifi- cent new buildings are being erected upon the campus of the school he hoped to see grow into the full stature of his splendid conception. May we hope that one of these new temples of learn- ing shall be made to commemorate his name! He could not wish a fitter monument to his work. In another month he would have been but fifty years old. A quarter of a century covers practically his career of quiet, but patient usefulness. And yet he did so much, for which generations to come shall bless him, that it can be truly and affectionately said: "He has not lived in vain." 98 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. PROSPICE. Fear death? —to feel the fog in my throat, The mist in my face, When the snows begin, and the blasts denote I am nearing the place, The power of the night, the press of the storm, The post of the foe; Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form. Yet the strong man must go : For the journey is done and the summit attained, And the barriers fall. Though a battle's to fight ere the guerdon be gained. The reward of it all. I was ever a fighter, so — one fight more, The best and the last! I would hate that death bandaged my eyes, and forbore, And bade me creep past. No ! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers. The heroes of old. Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life's arrears Of pain, darkness and cold. For sudden the worst turns the best to the brave, The black minute's at end. And the elements' rage, the fiend-voices that rave, Shall dwindle, sliall blend, Shall change, sliall become first a peace out of pain. Then a light, then thy breast, O thou soul of my soul ! I shall clasp thee again, — And with God be the rest ! — Robert Broivning. PROF. A. R. MILLIGAN. Alphabetical List of Revolutionary Ancestors.

Yea, let all good things await Him who cares not to be great, But as he saves or serves the state. Not once or twice in our rough island-story, The path of duty was the way to glory: He that walks it, only thirsting For the right, and learns to deaden Love of self, before his journey closes, He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting Into glossy purples, which outredden All voluptuous garden-roses. Not once or twice in our rough island-story, The path of duty was the way to glory: He, that ever following her commands, On with toil of heart and knees and hands. Thro' the long gorge to the far light has won His path upward, and prevail'd, Shall find the toppling crags of Duty scaled Are close upon the shining table-lands To which our God Himself is moon and sun. Such was he : his v;ork is done. But while the races of mankind endure, Let his great example stand Colossal, seen of every land. And keep the soldier firm, the statesman pure: Till in all lands and thro' all human story The path of duty be the way to glory. From "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Welling-ton;" Tennyson.

General James Franklin Bell, Major-General in the United States Army, was born near Shelbyville, in Shelby County, Ken- tucky, on January 9, 1856. Only a meagre summary of his arduous and eventful career can be given here. He received his preparatory education in the public schools of Shelbyville, and, in 1874, entered as a cadet the United States Alilitary Academy at West Point, New York. From this historic institution he graduated with honor in 1878. Was at once commissioned Second Lieutenant and, later, as First Lieutenant of Cavalry. He served on the plains in the Seventh U. S. Cavalry, Custer's old command and a crack regiment, from 1878 to 1894. Cap- tured a band of half-breed Cree Indians, near Fort Buford, South Dakota, in 1883. Served in the Sioux Campaign, around Pine Bridge, South Dakota, in 1891. Was Adjutant of regiment and Secretary of Cavalry and Light Artillery School, 1891-1894, and Aide to General J. W. Forsyth, in California, Arizona, and the State of Washington, in 1895-1898. Served with marked dis- tinction in the Spanish-American Campaign in the Philippine Islands and in the Philippine insurrection. Was promoted Cap- tain, U. S. A., in March, 1899. On March 7, 1899, was wounded in action at San Juan del Monte, Philippine Islands. On July 5, 1899, was appointed Colonel of Volunteers, and organized the Thirty-Sixth Infantry, U. S. Volunteers, in the Philippine Islands during the same month. He continued in command of this regi- ment until December, 1899. In 1899 he was awarded a congres- sional medal of honor for gallantry in action, near Porac, Philip- pine Islands. December 5, 1899, was appointed Brigadier-Gen- eral of Volunteers. Commanded the Fourth Brigade, Second Division, Eighth Army Corps, and Third District, Department of Northern Luzon, to July, 1900. Was Provost Marshal-General of the City of Manila, Philippine Islands, to February, 1901. Appointed Brigadier-General, LI. S. A., in February, 1901. Com- manded First District, Department of Northern Luzon, to No- vember, 1901, and the Third Brigade, Department of Southern Luzon, to December, 1902. Returned to the United States in GENERAL J. FRAXKLIX BELL. JAMES FRANKLIN BELL 109 1903. Was Commandant of the Infantry and Cavalry School, Signal School and Staff College, to April, 1906. Became Ma- jor-General, U. S. A., on January 3, 1907. Received the degree of LL. D. from the State University of Kentucky, at Lexington, on June 6, 1907. From April, 1906, to April, 1910, was Chief of Staff and, next to the President, the virtual head of the United States Army. In the spring of 1910, by his own request, he was relieved from this responsible and very exacting position by President Taft, and since December, 1910, he had been as- signed to duty in the Philippines, over the military establish- ment of which he has supreme command. On January 5, 1881, General Bell was married to Sarah Buford, daughter of Thomas Jefferson and Grace (Bowers) Buford, of Rock Island, Illinois. Her sister, Anna Buford, is the wife of Brigadier-General Ernest A. Garlington of the regular army. no SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. TO THE FLAG. From Address by Hon. Henry Watterson, Delivered on August 9, 1898, at Dedication of Monument Over THE Grave of Francis Scott Key, Author OF "The Star-Spangled Banner/' in Frederick, Maryland. (Copyright, Duffield & Company, and used here by permission of the author and the publisher.) "The Star-Spangled Banner ! Was ever flag so beautiful, did ever flag so fill the souls of men ? The love of woman ; the sense of duty ; the thirst for glory ; the heart-throbbing that im- pels the humblest American to stand by his colors fearless in the defense of his native soil and holding it sweet to die for it — the yearning which draws him to it when exiled from it — its free institutions and its blessed memories, all are embodied and symbolized by the broad stripes and bright stars of the nation's emblem, all live again in the lines and tones of Key's anthem. Two or three began the song, millions join the chorus. They are singing it in Porto Rican trenches and on the ramparts of Santiago, and its echoes, borne upon the wings of morning, come rolling back from far-away Manila ; the soldiers' message to the soldier ; the hero's shibboleth in battle ; the patriot's solace in death ! Even to the lazy sons of peace who lag at home — the pleasure-seekers whose merry-making turns the night into day — those stirring strains come as a sudden trumpet-call, and, above the sounds of revelry, subjugated for the moment to a stronger power, rises wave upon wave of melodious resonance, the idler's aimless but heartfelt tribute to his country and his country's flag."

All generations of American people will owe a debt, that can not be measured, to the memory of Colonel GEORGE ROGERS CLARK, and his brave ofificers and soldiers, for the results of the campaign the progress of which is so simply narrated in the ensuing pages. This is the original letter sent by Colonel — afterward General — Clark, to the illustrious revolutionary states- men, George Mason, of Virginia, his friend and patron. On the second of January, seventeen hundred and eighty- one, the Legislature of Virginia declared in certain resolutions passed that day, that "Colonel George Rogers Clark planned and executed the secret expedition by which the British posts between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers were reduced." In this undertaking he had not even the advice of General Washing- ton, or of any other officer, and was at the time only twenty- five years of age. But for this conquest made by Colonel Clark for the United States — and particularly for Virginia — in the midst of the terrible struggle with England, the boundary of our land, conquered in the revolution from Great Britain, would, in all probability, have been the eastern bank of the Ohio, or the Allegheny mountains, instead of the eastern shore of the Mis- sissippi. The whole country between the rivers, in no very definite expressions, had been transferred by France to England by the treaty of Paris, 1763, and possession rather indefinitely deliv- ered in 1765. The people of Illinois, in 1771, demanded a gov- ernment of their own by the people, as free and bold as had been claimed as an English and American principle in New England and South Carolina; and in 1772 they sent through their agent in London, Daniel Blinn, their indignant protest to Lord Dartmouth, the British Secretary, against a new gov- ernment proposing to put them under the officers of the crown (111) 112 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. only. This government against which they protested, included Vincennes, which had then been settled more than seventy years. These facts are alluded to as showing the direct and sole posses- sion and acknowledged dominion of Great Britain at the time of our revolution. Yet Spain and France both contended in the preliminary negotiations at Paris in 1782, that this great land could not be ceded to the United States, that they had no legal claim to it. Dr. Franklin, in August, this year, when engaged in these nego- tiations at Paris, speaking of the claim of Spain to the western country, says: "My conjecture of that court's design to coop us up within the Allegheny mountains, is now manifest. I hope Congress will insist on the ^lississippi as the boundary, and the free navigation of the river from which they would exclude us." The claim that Spain made was futile, and could not bear examination. She could not connect her claim to the lower Mississippi with this territory. The constructive possession could not reach up so far ; Clark had built Fort Jefiferson below the mouth of the Ohio, and Virginia had actual possession also between the rivers. This was the pretense of Spain ; in the winter of 1781, a detachment of about sixty-five Spaniards, ac- companied by about the same number of Indians, took posses- sion of a small English Fort, called St. Joseph, situated near the source of the Illinois River. They hoisted the Spanish stand- ard, and pretended to take possession of the fort, and its de- pendencies, and of the river Illinois, in the name of the Spanish king. This was what the Spanish minister called a conquest ; and he insisted that, if the country did not belong to the king of Spain, it did not belong to the Americans, but to the Indians. France could make no claim ; she could only dispute the claim of the colonies, or of the United States ; and even this she fore- bore to do through her principal minister the Count de Ver- gennes, but Rayneval, the principal secretary of the great min- ister, was put forward, to make this dispute. The negotiations at Paris in 1782, as far especially as Spain and France were concerned, were for the matters of compromises between these powers, respectively, and Great Britain ; and they so ended as far as these three powers were concerned ; and it did not matter to them how the Americans came out in these negotiations. The object in regard to the western country, was GENERAL GEORGE ROGERS CLARK. GENERAL GEORGE ROGERS CLARK. 113 to keep it out of the hands of the United States, and then it could be set off to one or other of the three powers in considera- tion of something else. England was then temporizing with Spain, as the issues of these conferences between England, Spain and France showed to every observer. How else could Spain have claimed anything in the face of Britain? But the English envoy could not pretend that it did not belong to the colonies that had set themselves up as the United States. The conquest had been fully made by Clark in 1778 and 1779 ; and in October, 1778, the county of Illinois was established by the General Assembly of Virginia, covering all the territory, and provision was made for its protection by reinforcements to the army of Clark; and in Alay. 1780, the Act of October, 1778, was continued and amended, and other reinforcements ordered by Virginia. In fact, as an almost natural result from Clark's campaign, the land between the rivers was actually under the government de facto, as well as de jure, of this country, for it could not be denied that the patent of Virginia, with some por- tion to other colonies, covered the whole region, so that the arms of Clark had settled the question of possession, and civil, as well as military rule, of this great territory, which now holds so many millions of people. These prominent facts were be- fore the British minister, and before the world. He could not say, then, that this part of the land was in the power of Eng- land, any more than Virginia herself was after the battle of Yorktown ; and he was too accurate a jurist to yield to any claim of Spain, or to hear the objections of France. But what would have been the judgment of Great Britain, beset by France and Spain, and looking to its own aggradizement, as every country does, if this campaign had never been made? The force of con- quest, the moving etiquette of treaties of peace, would have been lost. But there are additional facts springing out of this conquest. The act of Congress of 1780 recommended to the several States to cede their out-lands, such as those west of the Ohio, to Con- gress, looking, of course, to what had been done by Clark. And the act of Virginia of October 20, 1783, about the transfer of these lands to Congress, recites the act of Congress of 1780 and the Virginia act of 1781, concerning these same lands. And Virginia, on 2d January, 1781, granted one hundred and fifty 114 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. thousand acres to the officers and soldiers of Clark, and the same act reserved land for other officers and soldiers between the rivers Scioto and Little Miami. Now, the preliminary articles of peace and boundary had been under negotiation for months, and were signed by Oswald for England, and by Adams, Franklin, Jay and Laurens for America, on the 30th of November, 1782, when, of course, these things had been well understood ; and afterward, on the 3d of September, 1783, the definite treaty of peace and boundary was signed at Paris by Hartley for England, and Adams, Franklin and Jay for the United States. Surely all that had followed the campaign of Colonel Clark, had been well debated and con- sidered, and but for our holding the country under military and civil rule, as much a part of the United States as any other portion of its territory, we would have had our boundary, not the east bank of the Mississippi, but the east bank of the Ohio, or the ridge of the Alleghenies. In contemplating the depth of our gratitude, let us think whether New Orleans and St. Louis and all the great country of Louisiana would, in any reasonable probability, have been purchased of the First Consul, and come to us through Mr. Jefiferson but for this campaign of Clark. No, certainly not. This magnificent country, made of this and other purchases, now extending as one with us to the north Pacific, might to this hour have been broken from us at the mountain's summit or the river's shore. GOVERNOR ISAAC SHELBY. From Funeral Oration by Hon. William Taylor Barry "On the Death of Adams, Jefferson and Shelby," delivered in Lexington, Kentucky, on August 15, 1826. The numerous band of patriots devoted to the cause of In- dependence, exerted equally their best endeavors for its success, and the least of them are entitled to our eternal gratitude. As death fixes the seal of glory on their lives, history will assign to each their rank. Whether civil or military services merit the highest praise, will not be a question ; each should be rewarded in proportion to their degree, and the motive with which they were rendered. All made up their minds to risk their fortunes, characters, and lives, in a revolution, evincing by this bold de- termination, courage sufficient to sustain the patriot in the toils of the field, or the labours of the cabinet. Without giving pre- eminence to the soldier or to the statesman, it must be conceded, that the union of capacity for both employments, is the perfection of character. Many great examples of this are to be found in both ancient and modern history ; but none that we read of united them so perfectly as George Washington : and to him not only our own country, but the world, assigns the first rank — justice to his memory and our own fame — requires this rank to be maintained in all its dignity. The great men we this day commemorate follow after the Father of his Country. To the historian it belongs to relate in full their early and later achieve- ments, and the particulars of their public and private lives ; and it will be for impartial posterity to give them their place in the scale of excellence. The limits of this occasion will only allow a sketch of the conspicuous acts and prominent traits, that may serve to illustrate their characters. Adams and Jefferson and Shelby are no more ! Their spirits have fled, and their bodies are mingled with the clods of the valley; but that which gained our love and raised our admiration, still subsists. Their (115) 116 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. services and noble achievements, liberty, independence, and glory, remain! Amidst the general mourning that covers the land, Kentucky has particular cause of sorrow. Although admonished by recent affliction, and the infirmities of age, that the death of ISAAC SHELBY was near at hand, yet the news falls heavily on us. All hearts are sorrowful ; and the State is like a family of little ones, weeping over the shrouded remains of a beloved father ! He was indeed a father to Kentucky — his services are inter- woven with the history and his fame blended with the glory of the State. It is a high but just compliment, to say of Shelby, that he was formed on the model of Washington — uniting what is rarely to be met with in the same individual, qualifications for exalted civil and military offices. Whether we regard his serv- ices in the cabinet or in the field, we shall see much to admire and applaud. In 1779, he was a member of the Virginia Legisla- ture, and in the fall of that year was appointed by Mr. Jeffer- son, then governor of the State, Major of the escort of guards for running the boundary line between Virginia and North Caro- lina. The extension of that line threw Shelby into the State of North Carolina. As soon as he became a citizen of that State, he was appointed by Governor Caswell, Colonel of Sullivan County. In 1782, he was a member of the Legislature of North Carolina ; and appointed the same year a Commissioner to settle preemption claims on the Cumberland River, and to allot bounty lands to the officers and soldiers of the North Caro- lina State line. He was, after aiding as a member of the Con- vention in forming the Constitution, elected the first Governor of the State of Kentucky, in 1792; and was again called to the same high station in 1812. What higher evidence of merit for civil office, could he adduced, than these proud testimonials? In \nrginia and North Carolina, we see him associated in the struggles of the American Revolution, and called to counsel with the great patriots that adorn the annals of those States. When Kentucky became an independent State, he is placed in the Executive Chair, to organize the government, and discharge the delicate and important duties confided to him, to the entire satisfaction of the people. By filling the various public offices with the intelligence and virtue of the country, the State be- GOVERNOR ISAAC SHELBY. 117 came at once respectable and received an impulse, that has carried her on rapidly in the career of improvement. The circumstances under which he was again elected Gover- nor, are the highest proofs of public confidence, it was after the late war had been declared. The venerable Charles Scott, at the expiration of his term, had retired from office ; the coun- try looked around for one worthy of succeeding- that distin- guished patriot ; all eyes were turned to the Hero of King's Mountain. The people, confiding in his integrity, courage, ex- perience, and known patriotism, selected him, unsolicited on his part, as best qualified to call forth and give direction to the energies of the country. The public expectation was more than fulfilled. The ability and fidelity with which he discharged the duties of Chief Magistrate, his incorruptible integrity, his un- wavering attachment to public economy, and to the principles of civil liberty, give him an elevated place amongst American statesmen, and entitle him to our warmest gratitude. But we have yet to contemplate him in scenes of more brilliant achievements. Shelby was happily constituted for military life In person and in mind. His appearance was noble and engaging. Accustomed in early life to the use of arms, and the pursuit of game, the mountain air and exercise in the open country improved his con- stitution and enabled him to bear the greatest fatigue ; of a bold and manly turn of thinking, he disdained a voluptuous life of indolence and folly, and resolved to season himself for grand exploits in the rough school of toil and privation. The vigour of his mind, and the military spirit with which it was imbued, was displayed at an early age. When yet a stripling, like David, he encountered the enemies of his country. In 1774, acting as Lieutenant of a volunteer company, he was in the memorable battle of the 10th October, 1774, at the mouth of Kenhawa, fought by a detachment under General Andrew Lev/is, against the combined Indian forces. In this terrible conflict, which lasted from day-light until dark, our young hero bore himself as an officer with spirit and gallantry. His good conduct on that occasion attracted the attention of Governor Dunmore, who rewarded his heroism with the appointment of second in com- mand of a garrison established on the spot, where he remained until some time in 1775, when the garrison was discharged. The American Revolution followed soon after, and opened to 118 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. him a scene where his talents were fully displayed. In July, 1776, he was appointed Captain of a minute company, by the committee of safety in Virginia. In 1777 and 1778, he was commissary to the frontier garrisons ; active and indefatigable in his duties, he often furnished supplies upon his own credit, when that of the public failed. Such was his good conduct in this station, that Patrick Henry, then Governor of Virginia, thanked him in person for the important services he had ren- dered his country. In North Carolina he was soon engaged in the most important services. At the summons of General Charles McDowell in 1780, he repaired to the camp at Cherokee Ford on Broad River, with three hundred mounted volunteers. He was immediately dispatched with Colonel Clarke, at the head of six hundred mounted men, to watch the movements and beat up the outposts of the enemy. Ferguson, an active partisan officer in the Royal militia, at the head of two thousand five hundred men, made various eflforts to surprise Colonel Shelby, but his designs were all bafifled. On the first of August, at Cedar Spring, they met Ferguson's advance of seven hundred men ; a severe engagement of half an hour ensued, when Ferguson came up with his whole force, but not until the Americans had gained a decisive advantage, capturing fifty prisoners, and by a judicious retreat bearing them off to their own camp, in the face of the enemy. Colonel Shelby was again detached with Clarke and Williams, at the head of seven hundred horsemen, to surprise an encampment of an equal number of tories at Musgrove's Mill, on the south side of the Enoree River, about forty miles dis- tant ; Ferguson's army lay exactly between. They marched on the evening of the 18th of August, 1780, avoiding Ferguson's encampment, and at the dawn of day, about half a mile from Musgrove's Mill, had a short skirmish with a patrol party of the enemy, in which several of them were killed. At this juncture, they were apprized by a countryman of a reinforcement of the garrison the evening before, by six hundred regular troops from New York, commanded by Colonel Innis. But a moment was left for counsel — it was imprudent to bring on the attack ; the men were harrassed and worn down with fatigue, and could not escape. It was resolved to give them battle. The drums and bugle horns of the enemy already announced their movement — a breastwork of brush and logs was quickly thrown across the GOVERNOR ISAAC SHELBY 119 road ; Captain Georman was sent in front with twenty-five men to commence a skirmish ; the stratagem succeeded ; the enemy were drawn on in disorder to the breastwork, and in less than one hour Colonel Innis, with all the British officers except a single subaltern, were either killed or wounded, two hundred prisoners taken, the enemy defeated and driven across the river with great slaughter. After this signal victory, the Americans intended to have surprised the British post at Ninety-Six, but the news of Gates' defeat, involving the destruction of the main army, made a retreat necessary. This was a difficult task, in- cumbered as they were, with prisoners and wounded men ; but it was accomplished by a rapid movement continued for thirty- six hours without food or rest, before the superior numbers of an angry and vigilant foe. It was soon after this, that the expedition agamst Ferguson was planned. This officer, thinking himself secure, had per- mitted some of the tories to go home. By forced marches the Americans, with nine hundred and ten men, attacked Ferguson at King's Mountain, and killed and took eleven hundred and five. The influence of this victory was immense. It disheartened the tories, animated the spirits of our own countrymen, that had been depressed by reverses and disasters at other points. The part that Colonel Shelby took in this achievement, sharing the glory of the victory with Colonel Campbell, Sevier, and other brave co-patriots, is now a matter of history. The merit of the action is enhanced by the reflection, that the conquerors at King's Mountain were volunteers, and the expedition under- taken and carried on, without any aid from government. The Legislatures of North Carolina and Virginia, aware of the im- portance of the service, did justice to the gallant commanders, by appropriate resolutions voting them swords as emblems of their good conduct and bravery. After the afifair at King's Mountain, Colonel Shelby continued to render important serv- ice in the South, under General Marion, one of the most in- trepid partizan leaders of the revolutionary war. At the close of the war, he retired to private life, and en- gaged in the pursuits of agriculture. He proved to be one of the best practical farmers in our country — by industry and judi- cious management his fortune was rapidly augmented. He was content to repose on the laurels he had won in the war of in- 120 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. dependence. His talents, his services and high reputation, gave him just claims to preferment. The people, too, eagerly solicited his services ; but he could never be induced to enter upon public life, unless the exigencies of his country rendered his services indispensable. He would not permit his name to be placed on the list of candidates for the office of Vice-President, although warmly solicited from various parts of the Union ; and declined the office of Secretary of War, that was subsequently tendered him by President Monroe. Like Cincinnatus, he remained un- ambitious at his farm, enforcing, by his example, the duties of private life ; teaching industry, temperance, and economy ; ex- tending acts of benevolence and humanity to his countrymen, and setting an example to afifectionate husbands, kind parents, and humane masters. Colonel Shelby was at his residence in Lincoln County, en- joying in affluence, the sweets of domestic life, when he was again called upon to assume the helm of State. At the ad- vanced age of 63, had he wanted an apology, this was an ample one; but his mind was characterized by constancy and invin- cible firmness. He saw his beloved country, for whose inde- pendence he had fought in his youth, again in imminent danger, assailed by the same inveterate foe. The fire of patriotism re- kindled in his bosom, he did not hesitate, but abandoning the allurements of ease, and listening only to the voice of honor, we see him again with youthful ardour, entering upon the execu- tive duties, boldly hazarding his reputation in the contingencies of a war, the glorious results of which were yet in the womb of time. The volunteers from Kentucky, who had gone forth to battle, notwithstanding the bravery and good conduct of their officers, had met with sad reverses. The dreadful defeats at the River Raisin, and the Rapids of the Miami, had deprived our State of many gallant and patriotic citizens, and filled the country with mourning ; the cruelties practiced by the savage allies of England, and countenanced by the British officers, was the cause of deep and powerful excitement ; the public indignation was aroused and our militia, anxious to revenge their slaughtered countrymen, were impatient to be led to battle. Shelby thought the time had arrived to put an end to the contest in that quarter, and resolved to take the field in person. As he was preparing for the campaign, a happy incident occurred. The delivery of GOVERNOR ISAAC SHELBY ■ 121 the sword voted him by the Legislature of North Carolina in 1781, had, from some cause, been delayed, and was handed to him just in time to be used in acquiring fresh laurels. Proud emblem of victory — glorious remembrancer of the gallantry and heroism of two wars ! At a short notice, four thousand volun- teers rallied around Governor Shelby, and, by a rapid movement, in a few days joined General Harrison's army, just in time to profit by the splendid victory of the immortal Perry, which had opened the way for the transportation of the American army into Canada. The promptness with which this was effected, the rapid pursuit of the enemy, the successful result of the battle on the Thames, in the total defeat of the combined Indian forces and capture of Proctor's army, are already recorded in the his- tory of the late war. Congress have expressed their high es- timate of the important services of Shelby in this campaign, and conferred on him, by unanimous vote, the honours due to fortu-* nate and victorious commanders. It was an animating example to the young soldier, to see this aged veteran leading on his troops, engaged ardently in the toils of war, and cheerfully sub- with admiration the plain republican Governor, who could thus mitting to its numerous privations. The British officers regarded suddenly lead his countrymen to battle and to victory. And the citizens of Ohio crowded the road to gaze on the Hero of two wars, as he returned in triumph to his own State. One or two incidents illustrative of his character, that have not found a place in general history, deserve to be mentioned. In the action on the Thames, Coloned Johnson's regiment were sustaining the brunt of the battle. That gallant corps, whose sorrows now bleed afresh on account of the recent death of one of their beloved commanders, was suffering severely under the gal- ling fire of the Indians. Shelby saw and felt for them. In strong emotion he said, "Those brave men will be cut to pieces !" Eager to succour them, and fearing that the reinforcement ordered by the vigilant commander-in-chief, would not be up in time, he led in person a regiment to their relief, advancing fearlessly and with youthful ardour, to the point where the battle raged. On the march homeward, the greatest number of the troops were com- pelled to traverse the margin of the lake, exposed to hardships and privations. Transportation was only furnished for a few. Shelby declined the easy berth oflfered him in one of the vessels, and 122 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. remained with those of his men who expected to encounter dif- ficuhies. He had another object in view\ The land route passed over the fatal plains of Raisin. Vengeance had been taken on the cruel foe ; the spirits of our slaughtered countrymen were appeased, but their bones lay bleaching on the ground. It was reserved for Shelby to give then Christian burial. Touching spectacle ! A victorious army, halted to perform this solemn ceremony, are seen with their venerable commander, placing the cypress by the laurels, and bedewing the grave of heroes with the soldier's tears ! At the expiration of his term of office, Governor Shelby retired to his farm. The citizens of Frankfort and its vicinity, with whom he had mingled and interchanged the civilities of social life, gave him repeated evidences of affectionate regard. At the moment of his departure from the seat of Government, a compliment was paid him, that awakened recollections of the interesting events of the late war and that of the revolution. A national salute was fired with the memorable cannon that was taken from the British at Saratoga, surrendered to them at De- troit, recaptured on the Thames, and presented by the United States to Governor Shelby. He was as magnanimous as he was brave. Although con- scious of meriting, by his services in the late war, the honours his country were anxious to bestow upon him, yet he was un- willing to receive them at the expense of another, and they were delayed, with his assent, until justice was done the brave commander of the Northwestern Army, under whom he had served. Another trait in Shelby's character remains to be noticed, which crowns the whole — his reverence for religion. This was displayed in all his conduct, public and private. He respected the Sabbath, and invariably attended preaching. At the time of his death, he was building, near his residence on his own land, a house for public worship. A splendid example of piety, to heroes and statesmen. He lived until the Fiftieth Anniversary had passed, and wit- nessed the rejoicings on the Nation's Jubilee. Although in deli- cate health, his dissolution was sudden. He had contemplated the approach of death with calmness ; selected a place on his own farm for his grave, the spot on which he had fifty years before GOVERNOR ISAAC SHELBY. 123 pitched his tent. He had often expressed the wish, that when he died no person might be present but his wife. In this he was gratified. Shortly before he expired, he had walked out, returned, took his seat, and was conversing cheerfully with the partner of his bosom ; the conversation closed for a moment ; a long breath was heard, his wife turned to look, he was gone, without a struggle, or the distortion of a muscle of his face. Such was the closing scene of ISAAC SHELBY, distinguished, in his early youth and in old age, for his energy, zeal, and magnanimous exer- tions for his country. At this solemn and afifecting moment, when we are assembled to pay the last tribute of respect, let us be attentive to the precious and instructive lessons furnished by his life, and stimulated by the bright example, emulate his noble deeds. SHELBY MEDALLION AND KENTUCKY STATE SEAL. 124 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. GENERAL CHARLES SCOTT. Address upon His Life and Character, by Colonel Thomas Leonidas Crittenden, delivered in Frankfort, Kentucky, on November 8, 1854. The State of Kentucky, by an act of the last Legislature, ap- propriated funds to defray the expense of bringing to her cap- ital the remains of three of her distinguished sons, that they might be buried with honors suited to their merfts, and becom- ing the dignity of a great and grateful State. Governor Powell, to whom was intrusted the direction and management of this ceremony, with too high an estimate of my capacity, has assigned me the honor of making such an oration over the remains of General Scott as is customary on these occasions. Many things warn me that my oration must be brief ; and yet I have to sketch the life of a man who served his country with honor and renown, both in the tented field and in the council chamber, for more than half a century. I must recall to you some of those inci- dents in his eventful public career which won for him the con- fidence and esteem of his contemporaries, and this high honor from posterity. In this way, to my thinking, I shall best dis- charge my duty. For good deeds and great deeds outpraise all eulogists. It is a full century since General Scott began his public and patriotic services. One hundred years ago and these poor re- mains were clothed with the manly frame of Corporal Charles Scott, and the soldier's heart that ever dwelt in his bosom w^as stirred by the clang of arms and the terrible battle cry ! He was born about 1733 in Virginia in that part of Goochland County afterwards, in 1748, set apart to form Cumberland County, and in 1755, side by side with Washington, he fought in that disastrous battle which resulted in the defeat of General Brad- dock. From this period till the Revolution, I have not been able to trace his conduct in life. But when that great struggle began, he took at once, and manfully, as he did every thing, the side of justice and of freedom. He raised the first company of volun- teers south of James River that ever entered into actual service. He so distinguished himself that a county seat in Virginia was named for him as early as 1777. Soon after this — to put the GENERAL CHARLES SCOTT. GENERAL CHARLES SCOTT. 125 very stamp and seal of genuine patriotism and all soldierly quali- ties upon him — Washington himself appointed him to the com- mand of a regiment in the Continental line. He was with Gen- eral Wayne at the storming of Stony Point, July 15, 1779. He rendered gallant service at Trenton and Germantown, favored an attack on the British, while they occupied Philadelphia, and was the last to leave the field at Monmouth. Stated more in de- tail, he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Second Virginia Regi- ment in 1776, appointed on February 13th of that year; Colonel of the Fifth Virginia Regiment from May 7, 1776; Colonel of the Third Virginia Regiment, from 12th August, 1776; and on April 2, 1777, he became a Brigadier-General in the Continen- tal Army. At Charleston, S. C, on May 12, 1780, he was taken prisoner and remained on parole till the close of the war. He became brevet Major-General on 30th September, 1783. Doubtless it would be very interesting to follow, step by step, through all his perilous life, the bold, blunt, strong-minded, nat- ural man ; but I have not been able to find a biography of Gov- ernor Scott, nor indeed any detailed account of his life. Just here and there, in times when none but men are wanted, and at places where none but men are found, you will see his name. Starting, however, as he did, under the eye of Washington, and from the ranks, it is clear that his rapid and distinguished pro- motion was the result of good conduct and true merit. And now after almost thirty years of fighting, from the commence- ment of the French and Indian wars under General Braddock, to the close of our wonderful and glorious Revolution under Washington, General Scott removed to Kentucky, and settled in Woodford County in the year 1785. But the Indians still con- tinued their depredations, and the veteran soldier could not re- pose even upon all his laurels while the women and children of his adopted State were exposed to the murderous and merciless savages. In 1788 he was chosen a member of a local Board of War for Kentucky, appointed by Congress to have charge of protecting the district from attacks of the Indians. The other members were Col. Isaac Shelby, Harry Innes, John Brown and Benjamin Logan. In 1791 he was with General St. Clair, at what has been well called a second Braddock's defeat. In 1793, he, seconded by General Wilkinson, commanded a corps of horsemen in a successful expedition against the Indian towns on the Wabash. In 1794 he commanded a portion of Wayne's army 126 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. at the battle of the Fallen Timber, where the most effective and brilliant victory was gained on August 20th of that year. And here, I believe, after almost forty years of warfare, the peaceful life of General Scott may be said to begin. He was no scholar. His school-boy days were stirring, busy, dangerous times. Edu- cation was a costly thing, and difficult to be had at any price where he lived ; and besides, long ere he was a man in years, the camp was his only schoolhouse, and the rough trials of life his only teachers. The first elements of an education were all that he acquired at school. But to a man of his stamp and mind, every incident in life is a lesson, every opportunity a teacher, and every day brings some wisdom. For there was about him a natural judgment which made him take a right view of things, and shaped always his general course aright. He thought but little of himself. No intrigue, no art was ever used by him to exalt himself in the public estimation. He felt the impulse, and he played his part. It was his noble nature to love his friends, but above all to love his country. In 1808, when most of his life was spent — after arduous services and long years had wasted the vigor and strength of his manly form, while his patriotism and his virtues had but been hardened by exposure — with his intellect still unimpaired, he stood before the highest earthly tribunal. And then the people of Kentucky pronounced him their chief man. The people looked back over his long and well spent life — for all could mark his course, deeds having written his name on many pages of his country's history — and finding no blot or stain upon his fame, they could not with- hold their suffrages. No eloquence nor flattering tongue be- sought their support. The old soldier, with modesty unfeigned and real as his merit, thought the office of Governor too high a place for his ability, and too great a reward for his services. In the honesty of his soul he bluntly told the people, in the brief speeches he made to them, that his competitor was far better qualified for the distinguished position than he was himself, but that if they would be foolish enough to elect him, he would do his best for them. He was almost unanimously elected ; and the same singleness of purpose, the same fidelity and devotion to his country, which had marked his military conduct, character- ized and distinguished his administration. He was the Gover- nor of this State when war was declared in 1812, and one of his last official acts as Governor was to commission General Har- GENERAL CHARLES SCOTT. 127 rison as Major-General, and so to give him the command of the Kentucky troops. Before the actual declaration of war, when our people were suffering great abuse and outrage at the hands both of England and France, but especially of England, his messages teem with the most glowing and courageous patriotism. In 1810, in his message to the Legislature, he says: "As we have but little to hope from the justice of either of the belligerent powers. Great Britain or France, we should most earnestly prepare ourselves to have as little to fear from their anger. Prepared to do that justice which we ask, we should be prepared to enforce those rights which we claim." In 1809, he says in another message: "Our arms purchased our liberties, and by our arms must they be defended. It is the order of nature and of fate." He de- plores with a patriot's earnestness that blindness and fury of party spirit which would accomplish its own purposes and ends, forgetting in the ardor of political strife the only object for which politicians and parties should seek, the true interest of the country. And it was also his sentiment, his real sentiment, for it always governed his conduct, that at the sacred call of duty all dangers dwindled into shadows. These were some of the incidents in this man's life, and these, and such as these, were the generous and noble sentiments which animated his heart. He died at a very advanced age on October 22, 1813. Let us remember that General Scott was a chief, even amongst the wondrous men of the Revolution — and that these men pur- chased all our blessings by the hardships they endured, by the bravery with which they encountered every danger, and by the blood which they spilt in our great cause. No living man can rightly claim so much gratitude from his counrrymen, on the score of hard and perilous services rendered. He was a man to be remembered. The pens of Tacitus and Livy have made immortal the names of many Romans for a tithe of his achieve- ments. We can not command historians like these. Alexander himself, with the world at his feet, envied the fortunes of Achilles in having Homer for his poet. And yet these distin- guished dead whose funeral rites we celebrate to-day, could ask no other history of their lives than that which Kentucky wrote when she decreed these honors to their memory. Could General Scott have foreseen this day, his brave old heart would have leapt with joy. Dangers have dwindled until not a shadow even 128 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. is left. The exciting questions which roused every patriot heart, the zealous and ardent support of friends, the angry and active resistance of opponents, are gone and almost forgotten. How would it rejoice the heart of such a man to see the State whose perils were his own for so many years, reposing in that security he did so much to win for her! What joy to see his loved country, in her pride and power, remembering with grateful heart his services — honoring, as she does here, his memory, and engraving with her mighty hand his name and fame upon a page of her own history — declaring to all the world this was my son, my brave, true-hearted son ; let all my children cherish his memory; let their deeds be like his! And this, in truth, Ken- tucky says to-day. Since the world began, no people have ever risen to power or splendor who have not cherished and striven to perpetuate the memory of their great men. The Jews, God's peculiar people, carried with them the bones of their benefactor, Joseph, in their pilgrimage through the wilderness. And David invokes a bless- ing upon the men who rescued and buried the remains oi the mighty King Saul. The Egyptian monuments to their mighty dead, with hieroglyphic inscriptions which may yet be deciphered, and reveal great names and mysteries to the world, are every- where renewed. These were great people — and their examples are worthy to be noted — to the one the world fs indebted for the Bible, to the other for the Alphabet. Funeral ceremonies have differed among different nations ; but no nation, whether barbarous or civilized, has neglected some mark of respect for the dead, or of honor for the distinguished dead. The Greeks, of Athens, whose art and literature twenty centuries have not paralleled, gathered her chief men, and her soldiers, too, from the fields where they fell in her defense, and buried them with public funeral? of great pomp. Nor while they continued to be- stow honors only on true merit, did they ever want a soldier or a sage. And Rome — whose institutions were devised to incul- cate chiefly the military virtues — to what a pitch of grandeur and power she attained by the honors she showered upon these virtues ! Her founder she deified. Her victorious generals led chained Kings behind their cars as they drove in triumph through her streets. But when in her degeneracy she bestowed honors upon slaves, upon courtiers and servile flatterers, there came then a race of people, barbarians though they were, who still GENERAL CHARLES SCOTT. 129 honored manhood, and they trod upon the neck of this once proud mistress of the world. And when Alaric died, the leader by whose skill and bravery these barbarians had trampled upon Rome, though no marble monument, with high-sounding in- scription, marks his grave, yet in their rude way they honored him with a funeral ceremony whose memory will outlast the Pyramids. They made the captives he had taken in war turn from its course a river, and in the river's bed they laid their leader, and with him the spoils of nations ; then turning back the river to its channel, with barbarous hands they slew these captives, that no enemy might know the last resting place of their chieftain, nor foot of foe or stranger tread o'er his head when they were gone. It was their tribute to the only virtue they esteemed — manhood. And thus, too, was Attilla buried by his furious Huns. It was the custom of the Scythians to em- balm their great dead, and carry them into every province of their dominion, that the very features and appearance of a mighty man should be fastened on the recollection of his country. These honors, so freely given by the barbarians to what they esteemed good and great, inspired, perhaps, the ambition of Attilla, who, from his rude palace in Hungary, ruled to the farthest con- fines of modern Russia, and exacted tribute from the degenerate Emperors of Rome and Constantinople. The French, too, al- ways devoted to glory, have done especial honor to the memory of their great soldiers — and they have had their Bonaparte. Titles, and palaces, and monuments are freely given by Eng- land to her mighty men — and she has had her Wellington. Our forefathers honored freedom most, and gave highest tribute from their hearts to those who were greatest in her cause — and we have had our Washington. Let Kentucky make this Cemetery her Temple of Honor, though she worships only God, and let her see that none approach its pure shrine but by the way of Virtue, and she will never want for heroes in the day of battle, nor statesmen in the council chamber. And then our free institutions, which the old soldier now about to be interred endured so much to establish and maintain, shall extend their blessings to a thousand generations. Our posterity shall gather here, as we have done to-day, hun- dreds of years hence, to pay the last tribute to some mighty one, when every turf beneath their feet shall be a great man's sep- ulchre. 130 SONS OF THE REJ'OLUTION.

Author of '" Concerning the Forefathers." Robert Patterson, pioneer, soldier, citizen, the son of Francis Patterson, of Bedford Coiint}\ Pennsylvania, was born on March 22). 1753. in a cabin on the Military road, which traversing- the western area of the State, passed under the shadow of Big Cove Mountain. At seventeen he enlisted with the Lancaster Mounted Rifles: afterward, in 1774, he joined the Pennsylvania rangers for a six months scouting ser\-ice. They penetrated to the Scioto Valley. There was desultors" fighting and Robert had his horse shot from under him and aided in the capture of a Mingo Chief. At Pickaway Plains he met with noted hunters from Kentucky : Boone, Kenton, Harrod and Logan, whose description of the vast and fertile lands south of the Ohio filled the young adven- turer with desire to go there. L'pon his return to his father's home, the enterprise was decided upon. Francis Patterson pre- sented his son with a complete hunting outfit and a horse and sent him on his way. with the understanding that Robert was to pre- empt land for his father as well as himself in the Kentucky wilderness. At Fort Pitt he joined a party which was being made up to go down the Ohio River. They landed, after a two weeks voyage, at Salt Lick and proceeded by marches to Royal Spring (Georgetown) where he spent the winter with the McClellands. In November, 1775. Patterson and a hunter named Sterrett wandered many miles from the fort into new territor}- to the South and on the 9th of the month camped on the banks of Cane Run. The next day they came to a fine spring which so charmed the young hunter that he built a rough shack, m.arked R. P. on a number of trees and F. P. on others, thus laying claim to the land in that ^^cinit}- in his own and his father's rights. In April. 1776, he returned to his claim and erected a stouter cabin, which, however, he did not occupy at the time. He came and went from Harrod's and McClelland's 132 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. to his claim, clearing the land and raising crops to establish his certain right. In October, 1776, he and five other young men made a journey by canoe up the Ohio to Fort Pitt in search of ammunition for the forts. This expedition was attacked by the Indians, two of the hunters killed and Robert Patterson wounded with a tomahawk in the side. After terrible suffering and privations, he was rescued by a party and taken to Fort Pitt to recover. From there he went to his father's home and induced his brother William to go to Kentucky, find his claim and work it. After his return to Kentucky, Robert joined the fighting force of the District, was engaged in ten battles all told, and was wounded ten times. He was in command under Colonel Bowman in the expeditions up the Mad River Valley, and was wounded at the battle of the Blue Licks and barely escaped with his life. In 1778, George Rogers Clark planned the celebrated Illinois Cam- paign, and sent for Robert Patterson to join him. He (Patter- son) was put in command over seventeen rangers whose duty it was to scout the country, ahead of the main force, and re- port conditions to the commander. From information thus ob- tained the attack and capture, first of Kaskaskia, then of Cahokia, were successful. In return for his prowess, the government of Virginia granted a tract of land to Patterson and instructed him to erect a fort somewhere in the center of Kentucky, The site of his own home seemed the most natural place. There- fore, with fourteen men, he proceeded to raise a log block house and to name it Lexington. This was in Alarch-April, 1779. In 1780, Robert Patterson again returned to Pennsylvania, married Elizabeth Lindsay, of Falling Springs, and brought her home with him to the Lexington Fort. When the Indian troubles were over, he built a stone house (still standing), and six children were born there. In 1804, Robert Patterson lost much property by going se- curity for a friend and he felt that a change would benefit them all. He had united with three men and purchased a large tract of land which afterwards became Cincinnati. But the Valley of the Miami held greater attractions for him and to Davton he therefore went and made it his permanent home. He died in 1827 and is buried in a lot overlooking the city. COLONEL ROBERT PATTERSON. COLONEL ROBERT PATTERSON. 133 Robert Patterson's services to the cities of Lexington and Dayton were many. He was valiant in ridding the country of the savages and making it a safe place to live. He was always in the post of the greatest danger ; commanding the advance in the march on Kaskaskia, protecting the retreat after Gen- eral St. Clair's defeat. In times of peace he was interested in churches and schools, vineyards, good roads, stockraising and bridge building. He was one of the first to bring a school-mas- ter to the hamlet of Lexington and to aid in the purchase of the first library. In Dayton he was prominent in all public enterprises, was made Quartermaster in the War of 1812, helped found the First Presbyterian Church, built mills, promoted the canal and in every way devoted himself to works of public benefit. His descendants are among the Goodlets and Steeles, of Ken- tucky; the Browns, Irvins, Andersons, Evans and Nisbets of Ohio. Robert Patterson was one of the masters of the early times and his memory should be kept green in the two cities whose foundations he laid and whose fortunes he did so much to foster.

How grateful the relief which the friend of mankind, the lover of virtue, experiences when his eye rests upon the greatest man of our own or of any age — the only one upon whom an epithet so thoughtlessly lavished by men, to foster the crimes of their worst enemies, may be innocently and justly bestowed! With none of that brilliant genius which dazzles ordinary minds ; with not even any remarkable quickness of apprehension ; this eminent person is presented to our observation clothed in at- tributes as modest, as unpretending, as little calculated to strike or to astonish, as if he had passed unknown through some se- cluded region of private life. But he had a judgment sure and sound ; a steadiness of mind which never sufifered any passion, or even feeling to ruffle its calm; a strength of understanding which worked rather than forced its way through all obstacles — removing or avoiding rather than overleaping them. If pro- found sagacity, unshaken steadiness of purpose, the entire sub- jugation of all the passions which carry havoc through ordinary minds, and oftentimes lay waste the fairest prospects of great- ness — nay, the discipline of those feelings which are wont to lull or to seduce genius, and to mar and to cloud over the aspect of virtue herself — joined with, or rather leading to, the most absolute self-denial, the most habitual and exclusive devotion to principle — if these things can constitute a great character, with- out either quickness of apprehension, or resources of information, or inventive powers, or any brilliant quality that might dazzle the vulgar — then surely Washington was the greatest man that ever lived in this world uninspired by Divine wisdom, and un- sustained by supernatural virtue. Nor could the human fancy create a combination of quali- ties, even to the very wants and defects of the subject, more perfectly fitted for the scenes in which it was his lot to bear the chief part, whether we regard the war which he conducted, the (135) 136 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. political constitution over which he afterwards presided, or the tempestuous times through which he had finally to guide the bark himself had launched. Averse as his pure mind and temp- erate disposition naturally were from the atrocities of the French Revolution, he yet never leant against the cause of liberty, but clung to it even when degraded by the excesses of its savage votaries. Towards France, while he reprobated her aggressions upon other States, and bravely resisted her pretensions to con- trol his own, he yet never ceased to feel the gratitude which her aid to the American cause had planted eternally in every American bosom ; and for the freedom of a nation which had followed the noble example of his countrymen In breaking the chains of a thousand years, he united with those countrymen in cherishing a natural sympathy and regard. In truth, his de- votion to liberty, and his intimate persuasion that it can only be enjoyed under the republican scheme, constantly gained strength to the end of his truly glorious life ; and his steady resolution to hold the balance even between contending extremes at home, as well as to repel any advance from abroad incompatible with perfect independence, was not more dictated by the natural jus- tice of his disposition, and the habitual sobriety of his views, than it sprang from a profound conviction that a Commonwealth is most effectually served by the commanding prudence which checks all excesses, and guarantees it against the peril that chiefly besets popular governments. His courage, whether in battle or in council, was as perfect as might be expected from this pure and steady temper of soul. A perfectly just man, with a thoroughly firm resolution never to be misled by others, any more than to be by others overawed ; never to be seduced or betrayed, or hurried away by his own weaknesses or self-delusions, any more than by other men's arts, nor ever to be disheartened by the most complicated difficulties, any more than to be spoilt on the giddy heights of fortune — such was this great man — great, pre-eminently great, whether we regard him sustaining alone the whole weight of campaigns all but desperate, or gloriously terminating a just warfare by his resources and his courage — presiding over the jarring ele- ments of his political council, alike deaf to the storms of all extremes — or directing the formation of a new government for a great people, the first time that so vast an experiment had ever GEORGE WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON. 137 been tried by man — or finally retiring from the supreme power to which his virtue had raised him over the nation he had created, and whose destinies he had guided as long as his aid was re- quired- — retiring with the veneration of all parties, of all nations, of all mankind, in order that the rights of men might be con- served, and that his example never might be appealed to by vul- gar tyrants. This is the consummate glory of Washington ; a triumphant warrior where the most sanguine had a right to de- spair ; a successful ruler in all the difficulties of a course wholly untried ; but a warrior whose sword only left its sheath when the first law of our nature commanded it to be drawn ; and a ruler who, having tasted of supreme power, gently and unosten- tatiously desired that the cup might pass from him, nor would sufifer more to wet his lips than the most solemn and sacred duty to his Country and his God required ! To his latest breath did this great patriot maintain the noble character of a Captain, the patron of Peace, and a Statesman, the friend of Justice. Dying, he bequeathed to his heirs the sword which he had worn in the War of Liberty, and charged them "Never to take it from the scabbard but in self-defense, or in defense of their country and her freedom ; and commanding them, that when it should thus be drawn, they should never sheath it nor give it up, but prefer falling with it In their hands to the relinquishment thereof" — words, the majesty and simple eloquence of which are not surpassed in the oratory of Athens and Rome. It will be the duty of the Historian and the Sage in all ages to let no occasion pass of commemorating this illustrious man ; and until time shall be no more will a test of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and in virtue be derived from the veneration paid to the immortal name of WASHINGTON I 138 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION.

And every field and bloody battle plain Was sanctified and hallowed by her slain; When Packenham, with England's proudest means. Swept boldly down on salient New Orleans, Who held the sacred bonds of Union then Like young Kentucky's stalwart riflemen?

Stanton. KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE REVOLUTION. An Address delivered by Samuel M. Wilson before the Kentucky Society of Sons of the Revolution, at Lexington, Kentucky, on April 5, 1904. At one of our former meetings the question was asked if there was not some way by which the descendants of the pioneers who explored and settled Kentucky and held it against the sav- ages and their unnatural British allies might be granted admis- sion into this Society. The question, perhaps, was even broader than this and suggested that in the event applicants of this descrip- tion were eligible to membership, how could they support their claims with the requisite "documentary evidence?" Without assuming to answer either of these questions, it has occurred to me that they present a still broader and more funda- mental question, namely. What was Kentucky's part in the Revo- lution? The battle of Lexington was fought on the 19th of April, 1775. Scarcely three weeks before, Daniel Boone and his fellow roadmakers had reached the south bank of the Kentucky River, and near the mouth of Otter Creek had marked the site of Boones- boro. Kentucky at this time was an unexplored region of in- definite extent. This region was supposed to be a part of the territory of Virginia, but so shadowy was her title that a company of enterprising gentlemen of North Carolina undertook to buy two-thirds of this immense tract, lying south of the Kentucky River and west and north of the Cumberland, from the Cherokee Indians at Watauga. Notwithstanding the treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768, which seemed to relinquish to Great Britain and her col- onies the complicated Indian title to Kentucky and other border lands of the West, the Shawnee tribes north of the Ohio still claimed the right of occupancy in their ancient hunting ground. As a political subdivision of Virginia, Kentucky was not yet known. The name of the region was as uncertain as its title. The (139) 140 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. most western county of Virginia at this time was the County of Fincastle, which necessarily included Kentucky. The name Kentucky was used for the purpose of identification, but it ap- pears to have been applied not to the transmontane region as a whole, but to a particular part of it now known to us as "Central Kentucky," This localization of the name is strongly illustrated by the habit of addressing letters in early times to persons "At Kentucky," a center of settlement and civilization in the savage, unbroken and seemingly boundless wilderness. This notion has been preserved even to the present day in the Eastern part of the State where I was asked by one of the na- tives some two years ago if the apple crop in Kentucky was not unusually good that season. Louisa, Levisa, Chenoa, Che- noca, Transylvania, Fincastle, Kentucky — these were a few of the diverse names by which this far-western region was known. Spasmodic efiforts at exploration and settlement had been made by small parties of homeseekers and adventurers, prospecting on their own account, from the time of Col. James Patton and Dr. Thomas Walker in 1748 and 1750 to the coming of the McAfees in 1773-4. But no secure foothold had been gained and no permanently successful inroad had been made prior to the arrival of the Transylvania Colonists in April, 1775. The war of the Revolution dates from the battle of Lexington, fought on the 19th of April, 1775. The organized and systematic and per- manent settlement of Kentucky begins practically with the same date. This settlement was begun not merely in rebellion against the crown of Great Britain, but in derogation of the rights of the Colonial governments of Virginia and North Carolina as well. Henderson and Hart and their associates undertook to establish a proprietary government, not as Penn and Baltimore had done, by virtue of a charter from the King, but by right of private contract. This colony of Transylvania was to be separate and independent of the older colonies not by virtue of any compact or articles of separation between the parties but solely by the force of their own choice and declaration to that effect. Ignoring the parent colonies, the Transylvania pro- moters sought recognition from the Continental Congress as an independent Commonwealth and despatched their representa- tives to Philadelphia before they sued for leniency at Williams- burg. The dreams of these empire-builders were shortlived, but KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE REVOLUTION. 141 they were none the less splendid and marked their authors as men of unusual genius, enterprise and daring. Their whole program was revolutionary. Every man of them proceeded in utter disregard of the sovereignty of both King and Colony and acknowledged no over-lord or superior in the prosecution of their plans. It is not without interest and significance in this connection to recall that by the Proclamation of 1763 the King of Great Britain had forbidden any grants of land be- yond those lying on the headwaters of the streams which flow eastward into the Atlantic ocean. Nearly all the streams in Kentucky flow in a northwesterly direction, so that every land- grant and every appropriation of land on these "Western Waters" was made in open defiance of the royal proclamation and prerogative. The unique position which Kentucky occupied may be brought out in a still stronger light by other considerations. Thus as an independent proprietary government it stood "midway be- tween the claims of Great Britain on the north, of colonial Virginia on the east, and of the Spanish government on the south and west." It was no doubt anticipated by the Hender- son speculators that the distractions incident to the war in the eastern part of the country would divert attention from this revolutionary enterprise until it could be firmly established. But they counted without their host. The country to which they claimed title was already dotted here and there with the cabins of the more venturesome pioneers and with a few of those nuclei of population called "Stations." These forerunners of the Transylvania movement looked upon that movement with suspicion if not with genuine alarm. These free and hardy sons of the forest were filled with a devouring land-hunger even more insatiable than the Spaniards' thirst for gold. But they were also jealous of their wild forest freedom. They knew nothing of the feudal system except to abhor it. Quit-rents such as the Transylvania proprietors proposed were a badge of vassalage and this was wholly at war with the free spirit of the pioneers and their intense longing for landed independence. Nothing less than a freehold estate could satisfy their craving, for with them, as with the knights and barons of old, no lesser estate was considered worthy of a freeman's acceptance. 142 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Fortunately for the future of the Commonwealth as well as for the good of the parties immediately concerned, these un- willing tenants of the Transylvania Company found a ready and able champion of their cause in the person of that farsighted and patriotic soldier of fortune, George Rogers Clark. It is a never-ceasing subject of surprise to me that such a man should have appeared in such a quarter at such a time. He combined in himself in the highest degree command over the three great departments of political activity, viz., war, diplomacy, and state- craft. He has been called the "Hannibal of the West," but the likeness, it seems to me, stops short with the persons of the two men, for their careers were radically dissimilar. In the versatility and vigor of his genius he may be likened with equal propriety to the great Napoleon. But in my opinion he re- sembles no one so much both in character and achievement as he does that intrepid spirit, Robert Clive, and his conquest of British India. With a keen perception of the state of things in the western country, its exposed condition and the strategic value of its outposts ; with no means at his command equal to the contest, but with unwavering devotion to his native land, a supreme confidence in himself, and a courage that oftentimes bordered on foolhardy recklessness, George Rogers Clark ac- complished for Virginia and the Confederation only on a smaller scale what Clive accomplished for Great Britain in its empire of the East. Clark's first efforts were directed toward balking the plans of the Transylvania Company. This done, he straightway turned his attention to the conquest of the Northwest. Recent revival of interest in this period has made the romantic story of how Kaskaskia and Cahokia were taken and "Old Vincennes" captured and recaptured again and the neighboring Indian tribes completely pacified, a familiar tale to all of us, but I doubt whether any of us have consciously and carefully tried to answer the question as to what was Kentucky's part in these stirring and momentous events. Without attempting anything like a minute and comprehensive presentation of the facts, it is enough to point out that the work done by Kentuckians during the Revolutionary War in subduing the forest, in checking the Indians, in resisting the assaults of hostile bands instigated and frequently accompanied and led by A. SMITH BOWMAN. KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE REVOLUTION. 143 inhuman English allies, in building frontier forts and afford- ing protection to the scattered and defenseless settlers, and in boldly and enthusiastically seconding the war of conquest against the English military posts of the Northwest, was a direct and substantial contribution to the success of the American cause. Had the Indians come against this border-land clad in redcoats instead of redskins, no one can doubt that they would have met with the same determined repulse that time after time swept them back across the Ohio, The Indian invasions were all a part of the British scheme for subjugating the rebellious colo- nies. Because the red men had, perhaps, private and tribal grievances of their own, against the immigrant whites, does not detract from the significance of their alliance with the Brit- ish. They were co-partners in a common cause. The same brutality which prompted the use of mercenary Hessians on the Atlantic coast secured the employment of blood-thirsty red- skins in the valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi. But if I may judge others by my own way of looking at these things, it has not been our habit to look upon the Indian conflicts as in any sense a part of the great struggle for American inde- pendence. Would it make any difference in our view of the matter if these savage invaders had all been clad, like Tecumseh at the Thames, in a British uniform? Taking the substance and letting go of the shadow of things, it seems to me that every blow struck by a pioneer in conflict with the Indians, was a blow struck in behalf of the Colonies against the Crown. Tories could not dwell peaceably, much less thrive, amid the liberty-loving settlements of the West. Every immigrant from "Old Virginia" and the Carolinas was of necessity a Whig and a patriot. Lands were granted as a reward for military service against the English and in return for allegiance to the newly-created Commonwealths. The Tories — the native sym- pathizers with the foreign foe — were treated with even greater severity than the British themselves and where they were not subjected to the barbarities of war, suffered a social ostracism scarcely less bearable, and were compelled to witness the con- fiscation and spoliation of their property. This enmity toward the Tories was carried out in the A'^irgina land law, which not only limited the grants to soldiers and loyal citizens, but provided for the escheat of lands previously patented to subjects of Great 144 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Britain. It will be remembered that old Transylvania Univer- sity got a large part of her original endowment under the opera- tion of this drastic law of escheat. It strikes me as something more than a mere coincidence that the westward movement of population to Kentucky and the outbreak of the Revolution in Virginia and New England came at about one and the same time. It seems as if a fallible human foresight had had its defects supplied by a designing Providence. Knowing that a rear-guard would be indispensable during the protracted struggle in ^'hich the Colonies were about to en- gage, and that the feeble and timorous governments on the seaboard might not take the necessary precautions if left to themselves, the God of Battles seems to have provided for the certain emergency by impelling the settlers westward. And this thought seems to have been in Boone's mind when he speaks of himself as "an instrument ordained to settle the wilderness." It was not in the hope of greater safety or exemption from hos- tilities that they came. These sturdy backwoodsmen had far less fear of King George's uniformed veterans than they had of the unreclaimed and unmapped wilderness and its savage, lurking beasts and still more savage and stealthy men. They came because of their needs, because of their lust for land, and because the impulse to come was irresistible, but they came not through fear or any craven desire to escape the brunt of the impending conflict, but as valiant forerunners of the mighty hosts which in war and in peace were soon to follow after. At Boones- boro, at Bryan's Station, at Harrodsburg, at Logan's Fort, at IMcClelland's Station, at Ruddle's and Martin's Stations, at Lex- ington, at the Falls of the Ohio and other historic spots, they erected their modest dwellings and built their crude stockades and bid defiance to their enemies, both civilized and savage. Time and again their courage and their fortitude were tested and many noble lives were sacrificed and much blood was spilled, but they stood firm and held their ground against all comers with an unyielding faith in the ultimate triumph of the American arms. These pioneer riflemen were seldom enlisted in any regularly organized military company, or, if enlisted, no care was taken to preserve the muster rolls. No record was kept of their en- listment or their services, and having performed their "tour" KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE REVOLUTION. 145 of duty in the campaign immediately before them, they dropped the rifle for the axe and the hunting--knife for the plough and resumed the more congenial occupation of tilling the soil and clearing the forest. They were volunteers in the truest and most literal sense of the word. They fought not for con- quest or glory but to defend their families, to win their inde- pendence and to secure to their homes freedom from molesta- tion and attack. They were Cincinnati every one of them, the highest type of patriots. Unlike their brethren, the Minute- men of the older Colonies, of whom John Randolph in the United States Senate once said rather cynically that they were so-called because they "were raised in a minute, armed in a minute, fought in a minute, and vanquished in a minute," these warriors of the west did not waste their time masquerad- ing as a valiant Home Guard, invincible in time of peace, but ready to flee on the first approach of an enemy, but they armed and organized only under the pressure of a real necessity and then they became a terror at which the stoutest Indian heart might quail. What they did at Boonesboro, at Estill's Defeat, at the Blue Licks, at the Blockhouses on the Wilderness Road and in the campaigns against the Northwest is written imperish- ably in the memory of their descendants and their fellow- countrymen. But the proof of their sufferings and their serv- ice lies largely in tradition. Few written memorials have been preserved — the "documentary evidence" which our membership demands is wanting, and this want puts a bar of exclusion in the way of those who are otherwise eligible and entirely worthy to enroll themselves as true "Sons of the Revolution." In com- mon with her sister States of the South, Kentuclcy has been slow to manifest her appreciation of departed worth by erecting monu- ments to their memory. At heart I think we are just as keenly alive to the merits of our great men and women as any people in the land, but by outward, visible tokens we have been all too slow in manifesting this feeling of reverence and admira- tion. Monuments of brass and marble are expensive and not al- ways satisfactory or appropriate. In the case of one modest but tasteful shaft in this city we have seen how ruthlessly after the passing of a few generations the iconoclastic hand of pro- gress and improvement can destroy the touching tribute which love pays to the honored dead. This emphasizes the truth that 146 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. next after character itself there is nothing in this changeable and changing world as stable and abiding and immortal as a little book. There is no monument as lasting as the printed page. How then can we better show our gratitude and our admira- tion for the departed heroes of the pioneer age and what better service can we render our neighbors and fellow-Kentuckians who deserve to belong and by all means ought to belong to this society, but are kept out for lack of the necessary "documentary evidence," than to collect the vagrant data scattered here and there through official records — land-warrants, deeds and deposi- tions — and private correspondence and private papers, which tend to establish the Revolutionary services of the pioneer fore- fathers? A valuable work in this direction might be accom- plished merely by compiling and bringing together in one volume a list of the names of these pioneer soldiers of the Revolutionary period and by collecting from books already published, which expressly or incidentally treat of that period, all available in- formation on the subject. An annual contribution of this kind will in time grow into a literary monument of incalculable value. It may after all be but a "literary cemetery" but it will be a noble city of the dead and from its epitaphs, from its record of patient suffering, of serviceable life and heroic death, present and future generations may gather not only material for eloquent funeral orations but fresh inspiration for the deeds of sacrifice and service and daring of which humanity ever stands in need. Thus this Society may do for Central Kentuclcy what the Filson Club has been doing for the State at large. It can at least utilize the old materials in a new way and thus furnish to the world ample justification for its continued existence. As bringing vividly to mind the reality of the war in Ken- tucky and the Northwest, by the kindness of a most estimable Daughter of the Revolution whom I am happy to count as one of my best friends, I have been given the privilege of reading to you two letters written by members of Clark's Garrison at Kaskaskia in September, 1779. These letters were addressed to Colonel Evan Shelby, who at that time was Colonel of the militia of Washington County, Virginia, and was the father of Kentucky's first governor. The writers were evidently resi- dents of Washington County, where a number of the troops ■31 W. E. BARRON.

"Jno. Williams." "To Colo Even Shelbey." It requires no imagination to heighten the effect or lend color to the brief but impressive narrative contained in these early models of phonetic spelling. It brings back those strenuous days — the march of Clark and his faithful followers through the "drowned lands of the Wabash," the frequent pow-wows with wavering but half-friendly Indian tribes, the valuable in- tercession of the French priest with his Indian half-breed or Canadian-French parishioners, whom one of our cultured fel- low-townsmen on St. Patrick's Day humorously declared were Irishmen because they received absolution from the priest be- fore going with Clark on his second campaign against Vin- cennes. He evidently reasoned (some,what facetiously) that this land is to-day so largely the inheritance of descendants of the Scotch and the Irish and the Scotch-Irish that the French, whom Clark shrewdly converted to his purpose, might safely be left wholly out of the count. The treaty between France and the United Colonies came at a most opportune time for Clark's purpose and was as efifective as armed legions in achiev- ing the surrender of the frontier English forts and in winning the half-neutral Indians to permanent peace and amity. Let us lend our aid so far as we may to the pleasant task of saving from total oblivion the names and the fame of those Kentuckians who took part in this notable struggle. Kentucky shares in the glories of the Revolution not simply because she was geographically and politically an integral part of Virginia, but because her part in the war was in large measure distinc- tive and peculiar to herself. She rendered a service which could not have been had without her and it is certain either that the cause would have been entirely lost or that peace would have been made with the Colonies confined to a much narrower f-'J w if'.; ^ k V 't. h w KENTUCKY'S PART IN THE REVOLUTION. 149 strip of territory had Kentucky been eliminated as a factor in the struggle. With clear appreciation of this fact, a recent writer has summed up the situation in a sentence. "When the armies of the Revolutionary War are counted," says Mr. Archer Butler Hulbert in his Historic Highways of America, "that first army of twenty-five thousand men, women and children which hurried over Boone's little path, through dark Powell's Valley, over the 'high-swung gateway' of Cumberland Gap, and down through the laurel wildernesses to Crab Orchard, Danville, Lexington, and Louisville, must not be forgotten. No army ever meant so much to the West; some did not mean more to the East." THE MOTHERS OF THE WEST. The Mothers of our Forest-land ! Stout-hearted dames were they; With nerve to wield the battle-brand, And join the border fray. Our rough land had no braver In its days of blood and strife — Aye ready for severest toil, Aye free to peril life. The Mothers of our Forest-land! On old Kentucky's soil, How shared they with each dauntless band War's tempest and life's toil ! They shrank not from the foeman.

Their bosoms pillowed men; And proud were they by such to stand In hammock, fort, or glen ; To load the sure old rifle, To run the leaden ball, To watch a battling husband's place, And fill it should he fall! — Gallagher. ISfJ SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. A MEMENTO OF POST-REVOLUTIONARY DAYS IN KENTUCKY. Fayette County, Ky., July 5, 1794. To His Excellency, Isaac Shelby, Governor of Kentucky: My Esteemed Friend — I was greatly disappointed by your not coming to my house on yesterday (July 4). We had a glorious time and a big dinner. Forty men sat down at my tables, who had served in the late struggle for our freedom and independence. It was a glorious sight to behold, and I wish King George III and Lord North could have witnessed the scene in the wilds of America. On the return of this glorious birthday of our freedom from British despotism, the heart of every patriot in the late struggle may rightfully pour its high- est tribute to God and the great sages and soldiers who re- solved to stake their lives and sacred honor in maintaining the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the limits of our country, from Massachusetts to Georgia, the hearts of a free and happy people have been dedicated on yesterday to the con- templation of the great blessings achieved and bequeathed to us by such heroic leaders as George Washington, Israel Putnam, and Nathaniel Greene. Such brave leaders took their lives in their hands, and liberty or death was inscribed on their hearts. God, in the plenitude of His beneficence, has generally chosen men qualified to resist kings and tyrants in their attacks on the rights of the people. The history of our mother country fur- nished full proof of this fact and our own glorious country in the late war for independence is a more brilliant illustration of the great truth that God hates all tyrants and despotic rulers, and sooner or later overthrows all such rascals in causing the people to rise up and cut their heads ofif.

An Address delivered by Samuel M. Wilson before the Ohio Society of Sons of the Revolution, at the Queen City Club, Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 19, 1908. The Flying-Camp and the Minute-Man Have had their meed of praise ; To the Pioneer and Backwoodsman We'll pledge these laurel bays ! Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Ohio and Kentucky Societies of Sons of the Revolution: In obedience to the very kind and cordial invitation lately extended by this magnificent Society of the Queen City, we have come, a half-score of Kentuckians, to join with you to- night in commemorating an event which virtually terminated the Revolutionary War "with the seal of Independence." On the seventeenth of last June, in the heart of the Blue Grass, it was our rare pleasure to have you as our guests in celebrating the anniversary of the first important battle of that same momen- tous struggle. As the Battle of Bunker Hill marked its be- ginning, so the Surrender at Yorktown marks its close. With- in the compass of the six years, which separated these two car- dinal events, is embraced nearly everything of importance that transpired during the war. We are familiar with the doings of Washington and his generals, with the campaigns of the Colonial Militia and the Continental Line, and with the sacrifices and sufifering and the heroic service of unnumbered patriots who withstood the enemy along the Atlantic coast and throughout the regions watered by streams, which flow eastwardly into that ocean. But in the one hundred and twenty-five years which have sped by since peace with Great Britain was proclaimed, what attention have the sons and grandsons of sires, who acted their heroic and gallant part in the great contest, paid to the progress of the war in the West, and to the fierce death-struggle (153) 154 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. there carried on between friends and adherents of the Colonies and the submissive subjects and servants of the British Crown? BeHeving that this sphere of action has been too much neglected, that it will bear a closer study and is everyway worthy of your in- terest and your admiration, I invite your attention for a few moments to-night while I attempt to speak briefly of "The Ohio Valley in the Revolution." At the bare mention of so broad a theme, do not, I pray you, begin to run over in your minds the length and breadth and spaciousness, or compute the acreage or bound by parallels of latitude and longitude that magnificent imperial domain which modern cartography has named "the Ohio Valley." Far be it from me to so abuse your patience or so pervert the pur- poses of this festive hour as to seek to stun or stagger you with the tonnage of the text, to weary and bewilder you with un- meaning details, or to traverse countless leagues of the earth's surface in the brief quarter of an hour at my disposal. The geographer and the statistician can better serve you in that role. The true boundaries of the Ohio Valley were almost as un- known in the time of the Revolution as the interior of the Dark Continent before Livingston and Stanley penetrated and mapped its secret recesses. It was for the most part terra incognita, and Finley and Boone and Kenton in Kentucky and Clark and Todd and Bowman and their brothers-in-arms on this side of the river, were explorers and discoverers, quite as much as they were simple invaders of a disputed territory, in their persistent war- fare with untamed Nature and in their determined conquest of the native human occupants of the soil. From Fort Pitt and Lake Erie on the north to the conflu- ence of the Ohio and Mississippi on the south, and from the Allegheny and connected ranges of mountains on the east to the central watershed of the Father of Waters on the west, this ill-defined and unsurveyed region, roughly speaking and with- out taking the landmarks too literally, constituted the Ohio Valley which, in merest outline, I would have you recall to your minds to-night. It was a theatre of practically limitless extent, the actors were comparatively few, but on this stage was en- acted one of the mightiest and most thrilling dramas ever vouchsafed to the human race. DR. S. H. HALLEY. THE OHIO VALLEY IX THE REVOLUTION. 155 It has been beautifully said of it by one of your Ohio au- thors — "The Ohio reached far out into the foothills of the Al- leghenies and Cumberland Mountains, beckoning to the Colo- nists on the Atlantic seacoast : with outstretched arms, spread as wide apart as are the sources of the Allegheny on the north and those of the Tennessee on the south, it called through the dark forests to the conquerors of the West to come to their own for their own was waiting to receive them gladly." This great river of the IMiddle West was in time sure to become the main natural highway of inland travel and, consequently, the occupa- tion of the Ohio Basin was of the highest strategic importance, because the occupation of the remainder of the continent must, of necessity, inevitably follow. But as Parkman has well said: "If the English-speaking population flowed westward, it was in obedience to natural laws, for the King did not aid the movement, and the Royal Governor had no authority to do so. The power of the colonies was that of a rising flood, slowly invading and conquering by the unconscious force of its own growing volume, unless means be found to hold it back by dams and embank- ments within its appointed limits." Hence it was that not only Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania but the widespreading prr^rie lands of "the Illinois" and all this mighty Valley of the Ohio, even to the turbid waters of the parent stream of all — the invincible Mississippi itself — were, by the irresistible march of events, made sure as a possession and an inheritance for Virginia and. b}' cession from her, became in time part and parcel of these United States, and will so remain forever! Throughout the bloody years from 1775 to 1783, the Ohio River was the boundary line between the advancing pioneers from the Southwest and the British and Indians in the North- west ; not only was it a boundary line, but also the one great avenue of ingress and egress where countless minor battles were fought on water and forest-bound shore. The American head- quarters were at Fort Pitt ; the British at Fort Detroit. These .points, together with Fort Niagara, also held by the British, formed the key of the great West. Fort Pitt was the threshold of the northern door to this vast region. This post at the "Forks of the Ohio" was the starting-point and base of supplies for many campaigns and expeditions before and after, as well as during, the Revolution. 156 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. At the first outbreak of hostilities, the Americans attempted to neutralize and pacify the Indians who inhabited the dense forest that lay between Pittsburg and Detroit and so success- ful were they that it was two years before active, organized war in the west was begun. The Delawares on the Muskingum remained neutral until near the close of the war ; the British, however, as early as 1777, were successful in arousing the fight- ing blood of the Wyandots and Shawanese and lesser allied tribes, wild for the warpath and filled with greedy lust for the bounty for scalps. It was upon Westmoreland, Washington, and Fayette coun- ties, in Pennsylvania, and the Panhandle of West Virginia — the "Monongahela Country" (or West Augusta, as it was officially called by the Virginians), that the first blows of the Revolution in the West, outside of Kentucky, were struck, while the brunt of the struggle was undoubtedly borne by the Kentucky settle- ments, which grew steadily from 1775 to 1783, or throughout the entire period of the Revolution. As soon as the news of strife on the seacoast had time to spread, the borders were aflame with wars and fightings. The men who in this crisis de- fended the western border against the savage tribes — the fron- tiersmen, in their conflicts with Tory and Canadian loyalists, British partisans, and blood-thirsty savages, during the years when Washington and his comrades were fighting for inde- pendence along the Atlantic seaboard — were doing the work essential to the cause of freedom, as well as the ragged continen- tals who faced British and Hessian battalions in New York or New Jersey or the rugged mountaineers who overcame Fergu- son and Cornwallis in Virginia and the Carolinas. "Two of the most powerful nations of Europe contested for the possession of the 'Forks of the Ohio.' " The hostile In- dians made repeated eflForts to destroy the Fort erected at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, first by the French and later by the British, and strove incessantly to regain and hold possession of the hunting-grounds which were fast slipping from their grasp. After the season of rest and quiet which followed the sup- pression of Pontiac's Rebellion, a contest was inaugurated be- tween the Provinces of Pennsylvania and Virginia for the con- trol of Fort Pitt. As the trouble with the colonies increased. THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE REVOLUTION. 157 the British Government deemed it advisable to abandon Fort Pitt and to withdraw the troops stationed there as a garrison. In January, 1774, troops from Virginia, sent by the Governor, Lord Dunmore, under command of Dr. James Connelly, took possession and changed the name to Fort Dunmore. Dr. Con- nelly was arrested by Arthur St. Clair, then a magistrate of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and put in jail, but was soon released on bail. He went back to Virginia, but shortly returned with civil and military authority to enforce the laws of Virginia. This contest continued for several years and the warring factions made the ownership of Fort Pitt uncertain. Maryland, too, had contended, sometimes with the shedding of blood, for the possession of this important point. It was not until 1785 that commissioners were appointed, the boundary of Western Pennsylvania finally run, and that State established in the possession of Fort Pitt and the "Monongahela Country," as it was called. From the conspiracy of Pontiac, which culminated in a frightful carnival of blood and rapine in 1763-1764, down to the year in which Cornstalk and his fierce warriors were re- pulsed at the mouth of the Great Kanawha, the Indians gen- erally were held in check. But with the opening of the Revolu- tionary struggle, this enforced quiet was broken, the Indians were incited by British emissaries to fresh attacks on the ex- posed frontiers, and the war in the West was as determined and even more vicious and bloody than the Whig and Tory con- flicts then in progress on the seaboard. In a peace conference held at Fort Pitt in July, 1776, Pon- tiac and Guyasuta avowed that in the impending conflict be- tween England and America the Indians on the north and west of the Ohio and its main source, the Allegheny, would refuse to take sides, but would maintain an armed neutrality. But this promise was no sooner made than broken. During the struggle for independence, the settlements west of the Alleghenies had little to fear from the invading armies of Great Britain ; but, influenced by the English, the implacable Indians carried on their periodic murderous excursions. Instigated by the agents of Great Britain, it was not long before a deadly struggle began. Scalping parties of Indians ravaged the frontier, sparing neither age nor sex, and burning 158 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. and destroying all that came in their path. Companies with headquarters at Fort Pitt, were formed to protect the settle- ments, and expeditions were made into the enemy's country, but with no very great or enduring- success. Brigadier-General Edward Hand took command of Fort Pitt in June, 1777, and some time later made several expeditions against the Indians, but, having an insufficient force, his opera- tions were singularly unfortunate. These fruitless efforts only emboldened the savages to continue their desperate attacks. In 1778, General Hand was succeeded by Brigadier-General Lachlan ]\IcIntosh. The latter planned a formidable expedition into the "Indian Country," as the Ohio, Indiana and Illinois shore of the River was known thro' many critical years, but only succeeded in erecting two forts, Fort Mcintosh and Fort Laurens, one on Beaver Creek, a small tributary of the upper Ohio, the other near Sandusky Bay. He was unable to draw the Indians into an actual encounter, and, disheartened from the want of men and supplies, he resigned his command. The dep- redations of the Indians continued and in a short time Colonel Daniel Brodhead was assigned to the difficult post on the Ohio. Like his predecessors, he planned great things, but lacked the means necessary to put them into execution. In November, 1781, General William Irvine took command of the disorganized post at Fort Pitt and by his firmness soon re- stored order, and comparative quiet reigned through the winter of 1782-1783 on the Pennsylvania border. On October 1, 1783, simultaneously with the establishment of peace between Great Britain and the United States, General Irvine took his final leave of the Ohio Valley. Among the hundreds of small actions that took place on the Ohio during the eight years of the war, the attacks on Fort Henry at Wheeling in 1777 and again in 1782 and the defeat of Colonel David Rogers near Cincinnati in 1779, stand con- spicuous as the most important fights immediately on the river. "The second attack on Fort Henry occurred early in Sep- tember, 1782, about two weeks after the terrible battle of the Blue Licks in Kentucky, which filled the whole West with sor- row, mourning and alarm." It is of the highest significance that in this attack the Indians advanced with a British flag waving over them. GEO. S. SHAXKLIX. THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE REVOLUTION. 159 It was in the second attack on Fort Henry that the dauntless EHzabeth Zane performed the heroic feat of fetching for the beleaguered fort a fresh supply of powder from the magazine which had been improvised at her father's block-house, about sixty yards away from the fort. This stout-hearted maiden by herself alone duplicated the daring exploit of the Bryan Station women in Kentucky, which had so thrilled the border scarcely a month before. "This dauntless pioneer maiden's name Is inscribed in gold on the scroll of fame. She was the lassie who knew no fear When the tomahawk gleamed on the far frontier. If deeds of daring should win renown, Let us honor this damsel of Wheeling town, Who braved the savages with deep disdain — Bright-eyed, buxom Elizabeth Zane. Talk not to me of Paul Revere A man, on horseback, with naught to fear ; Nor of old John Burns with his bell-crowned hat — He'd an army to back him, so what of that ? Here's to the heroine, plump and brown, Who ran the gauntlet in Wheeling town; Here is a record without a stain — Beautiful, buxom Elizabeth Zane." Many and many a blockhouse where the people of the dif- ferent neighborhoods "forted"' in times of danger, were invested as was Fort Henry. In times of danger, bodies of rangers and scouts patrolled the forests and watched the trails of the so- called "pathless wilderness" with unwearying caution. In the sanguinary defeat of Colonel David Rogers, who was trapped into an ambuscade at the mouth of the Little Miami, a short distance above your city, sixty Kentuckians were killed, and of this massacre Butler, the Kentucky historian, says "the annals of Indian or border warfare contain not a bloodier page." To summarize the course of the war in the Ohio Valley, we may group the events around three centers of population and military influence and activity. Fort Pitt at the Forks of the Ohio, Fort Boonesboro on the Kentucky River, and Fort Sack- ville at Vincennes on the Wabash. We have considered in a 160 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. general sort of way the military operations which had their springs at Fort Pitt. To my fellow-travelers from Kentucky, if not to the Ohio Sons of the Revolution, any minute account of the bloody deeds which darkened, while they sanctified, the pioneer and Revolutionary annals of Kentucky, would have the tiresome ring of an ofttold tale. For all that, it remains true that the written memorials and oral traditions among us which preserve the mingled chivalry and romance and grim tragedy of the bloody deeds which darkened, while they sanctified, the whites, are a source of never-ceasing interest and inspiration. At Lexington, at Harrodsburg, at Logan's Fort, and at the Falls of the Ohio, Indian assaults, instigated by the Canadians and British at Niagara and Detroit and other points on the Great Lakes, were again and again repelled. Who has not heard of the siege of Bryan's Station, where dauntless women saved the day, and of the three sieges so valiantly withstood by the intrepid defenders of Fort Boone? The Battle of Little Mountain or Estill's Defeat was another celebrated encounter in which the fierce Wyandottes, in a hand-to-hand combat, worsted the too- venturesome whites. Ruddles' and Martin's Stations on the Licking were stormed with British cannon, and the Battle of the Blue Licks, in which the best and bravest of Kentucky fell, was so plainly a Revolutionary engagement that it has been officially recognized as such by the general government. But why should it alone of all the many fights in the war-swept region of Ken- tucky receive this high distinction? With proper exertions on the part of the Sons of the Revolution in this great central valley, methinks there would be a very different tale to tell. But the one brilliantly successful campaign of the Revolution in the Central West was the conquest of Illinois by that daring Virginia youth, George Rogers Clark. And, in the Southwest, contemporaneously with Clark's master-stroke and of no less importance was the subjugation by Colonel Evan Shelby of the Cherokee and Chickamauga Indians on the Southern confines of the Tennessee. A report of both achievements w-as communicated to the Continental Congress by Thomas Jefferson, then Governor of Virginia, and appropriate Resolutions, expressing the appreciation and thanks of the Con- gress and warmly commending these resolute guardians of the frontier, were duly adopted by that body. The severe punish- THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE REVOLUTION. 161 ment administered by Colonel Shelby and his firmness at all times in dealing with the Southern Indians was of incalculable value and supremely important at this critical period, and there is no minimizing- the heroism of George Rogers Clark's conquest of the Illinois and no exaggerating the effects of that conquest. The Indians of the Wabash and lake regions no longer hovered about Fort Sackville at Vincennes to be urged upon Kentucky by British officers. True, the Kentucky stations were attacked repeatedly and savagely but without avail. No British-Indian army established a foothold south of the Ohio River, and the grasp Clark secured in Illinois was never relaxed. Virginia immediately took control of the region north of the Ohio and retained it until all but the Virginia Military Reservation in Ohio was surrendered to the general government. Clark's operations on this side of the river are brought vividly home to us by reason of the fact that on his later expeditions aimed at the upper Ohio Indians and against the British at Detroit he paused to erect one or two block-houses at or very near this spot. There are other circumstances connected with that early time which should bind the Queen City and the Blue Grass very close together. John Filson, our first historian, and Col. Robert Patterson, the leading founder of Lexington, in association with Israel Ludlow and Matthias Denman laid the foundations of this splendid metropolis when they projected their picturesque though pedantically-named village of "Losantiville" as the settle- ment to be made on this attractive site. Col. John Todd, another Lexingtonian, and in ability, courage, and culture easily at the head of Kentucky's pioneers, was the first civil governor of the county of Illinois, established by Virginia after Clark's conquest of the Northwest, and which included all of the present State of Ohio and her sister States of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin as well. Thus in a very imperfect way and yet at undue length, I fear, I have endeavored to sketch the history of military events in the Ohio Valley during the Revolution. Enough has been said, I trust, to raise a formidable presumption, if not to abso- lutely demonstrate, that the Revolution actually did reach the waters of the Ohio and the vast inland empire which it drains; and the suggestion that there are materials still awaiting ex- 162 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. ploration should provoke further inquiry and research and its results will surely repay the labor and time expended. Not a few books and numerous able and instructive mono- graphs have been written about detached portions of this fasci- nating subject. Western Pennsylvania in the Revolution, the part Kentucky played and Clark's Conquest of the Illinois, have all received attention from the antiquarian and the curious in- vestigator but the historian of "The Ohio Valley in the Revolu- tion" is yet to come. When the story is told as it deserves to be, it will not have the appearance of motley or of a checkered mosaic but will stand forth a finished masterpiece — a symmetrical, harmonious and connected whole. One simple, practical suggestion, in conclusion, and I know you will be glad to let me sit down. If the men who pioneered and peopled this matchless valley of the Middle West, did aught to entitle them to a place and a name among the Heroes of "Seventy-Six," those of us here gathered, lineal Sons of the Revolution, in this City whose name perpetuates the highest type of manhood, the liberty-loving and law-respecting citizen-soldier, the ideal hero of a Republican Commonwealth, and which also preserves the name appropriated and made famous by a fraternal society of the stalwart veterans of that immortal struggle, descendants of those who strove mightily along the seacoast and on the banks of its majestic rivers, descendants, many of us, of trans-Allegheny pioneers, grandsons and great-grandsons of Putnam and Zane and their fellow-voy- agers from New England, of Symmes and his justice-loving Jerseymen, of Patterson and Ludlow and their brave comrades from Pennsylvania, of Gist and Cresap and Shelby and the small but devoted band of stout-hearted Marylanders, of Clark and Todd and the "fighting Virginians," and of many a modest hero who tramped alone or with wife and little ones over the long and toilsome Wilderness Road from Virginia to Kentucky and braved all the nameless dangers and hardships of the wilderness that he might plant freedom and a home for his posterity to the remotest generation, yea all of us, of whatever name or persua- sion, should henceforth unite to redeem the Revolutionary an- nals of the Ohio Valley from the obscurity into which many of them have fallen and from the oblivion with which they are threatened and, with one accord, let us concentrate our at- A.

SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. Enough, perhaps, has already been said in the Introduction concerning the Land Bounty Warrants granted by the Com- monwealth of Virginia to her soldiers and sailors of the Revolu- tion, and of which, to the number of 4,627, a catalogue is pub- lished herein. But, it may serve to explain more precisely how these warrants came to be issued, to give a brief account of the system established by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the award of such warrants. In attempting to do this, we have drawn very freely on SafTell's "Records of the Revolutionary War," a valuable compilation published in the year 1858, just as Safifell himself had previously drawn on Hening's "Digest of Laws on the Subject of Land Bounties" (Hening's Stats, at Large of Virginia, Vol. 11, pages 559-565), published in 1823. Congress, by acts of the 16th and 18th of September, 1776, and others subsequent thereto, stipulated grants of land to the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army, and to certain officers of the medical department. At that period, Congress had no land actually at its disposal, for all of it belonged to the States ; and it would have been compelled to purchase lands to make good its contracts, had it not been for the liberality of the States. Virginia, holding immense tracts of unappropriated land, adopted the idea suggested by the Continental Congress, of grant- ing land bounties to her officers and soldiers, both on the State and Continental establishments ; and, having it more in her power, she was naturally more liberal than Congress in those grants. By act of May, 1779, chapter 6 (Hening's Statutes at Large of Virginia, Vol. 10, page 23,) "concerning officers, soldiers, sailors, and marines," a bounty of one hundred acres is promised to each private at the end of the war ; and to the officers, the like quantity as is allowed to officers of the same rank in Virginia regiments on Continental establishment. By the same law, two hundred acres are given to each volunteer soldier who served under Colonel George Rogers Clark, until the reduction of the posts in the Illinois country, and to each soldier who should re- SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 165 enlist for the protection of the Illinois country, one hundred acres, and the Hke quantity to each trooper of cavalry who should en- list for the war, for the defence of the eastern frontier. A quantity of land, not exceeding 150,000 acres, was reserved to satisfy the officers and soldiers under Col. George Rogers Clark, in the Virginia Cession of the Northwestern Territory to the United States. (Hening's Statutes, Vol. 10, page 564, and Vol. 11, pages 326, and 566.) By said Resolution of January 2, 1781, it is further provided. "That in case the quantity of good lands of the southeast side of the Ohio upon the waters of Cumberland River and be- tween the Green River and the Tennessee River, which have been reserved by law for the Virginia troops upon continental establishment, and upon their own State establishment, should (from the North Carolina line bearing in further upon the Cumberland lands than was expected) prove insufficient for their legal bounties, the deficiency shall be made up to the said troops in good lands to be laid off between the rivers Scioto and Little Miami, on the northwest side of the river Ohio, in such propor- tions as have been engaged to them by the laws of Virginia." The act of May, 1779, chapter 13, Section 2 (Hening's Stat- utes, Vol. 10, page 50), prescribes the evidence on which war- rants for land bounties shall issue, and by the same chapter (Section 3), referring to a Resolution of the General Assembly of the 19th of December, 1778. a tract of country, bounded by the Green River, the Cumberland Mountains, the North Carolina Line, the Tennessee River, and the Ohio River, was reserved for the officers and soldiers of Virginia. A considerable part of this territory having fallen into North Carolina, by the extension of the boundary line between that State and Virginia, a further tract of land, included within the rivers Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee, and the Carolina boundary line, was substituted by the act of November, 1781, Chap. 19, Sec. 8, (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 462), in lieu of that so fallen into North Carolina. By the same act. Section 9, provision is made for surveying these military lands ; Section 12, declares that the bounties in lands given to the officers in the Virginia line in Continental service, and the regulations for surveying, shall be extended to the State officers ; Section 13, gives the cavalry the same advantages as 166 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. the infantry; and Section 14, entitles the officers and seamen of the navy to the same advantages as those in the land service. But the act of October, 1782 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 161), is even more explicit as to the navy, and declares that the "officers, seamen, and marines, or their representatives, shall be entitled to the same bounty in lands and other emoluments as the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental estab- lishment." The Act of October, 1779, Chapter 9 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 141), is in these words: BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, That every person acting as chaplain, surgeon, or surgeon's mate, to any regiment or brigade of officers and soldiers raised within this Commonwealth, and upon Continental establishment, and who hath or shall hereafter serve in that office the space of three years, or during the war, shall be entitled to and have the like quantity of lands as is by law allowed to commissioned of- ficers receiving the same pay and rations. Chapter 21 of the acts of October, 1779 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 159), fixes, with precision, the quantity of land to be apportioned to the officers and soldiers on the continental and state establishments and in the navy, as follows : ~ BE IT ENACTED, That the officers who shall have served in the Virginia Line on Continental establishment, or in the army or navy upon State establishment, to the end of the present war, and the non-commissioned officers, soldiers, and sailors, upon either of the said establishments, their heirs or legal representa- tives, shall respectively be entitled to and receive the proportion and quantities of land following : that is to say, every Colonel, five thousand acres ; every Lieutenant-Colonel, four thousand, five hundred acres; every Major, four thousand acres; every Captain, three thousand acres ; every subaltern, two thousand acres ; every non-commissioned officer, who, having enlisted for the war, shall have served to the end thereof, four hundred acres ; and every soldier and sailor, under the like circumstances, two hundred acres ; every non-commissioned officer, who, having enlisted for the term of three years, shall have served out the same, or to the end of the present war, two hundred acres ; and every soldier and sailor, under the like circumstances, one hundred acres ; every officer of the navy, the same quantity of land as an officer SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 167 of equal rank in the army. And where any officer, soldier, or sailor, shall have fallen or died in the service, his heirs or legal representatives shall be entitled to and receive the same quantity of land as would have been due to such officer, soldier, or sailor respectively, had he been living. To this, the Act of October, 1780, Chapter 3 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 326), adds the following provision: And each recruit, and also all our soldiers, now in service, that have already enlisted, or who may hereafter enlist, by the first day of April next, to serve during the war, and who shall continue to serve faithfully to the end thereof, shall then receive a healthy sound negro, between the ages of ten and thirty years, or sixty pounds in gold or silver, at the option of the soldier, in lieu thereof, to be paid for or procured by equal assessment on property ; and, moreover, be entitled to three hundred acres of land, in lieu of all such bounties given by any former laws. An Act of October, 1780, Chapter 27 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 2>72>), further provides: BE IT ENACTED, That there shall be allowed to a Major- General fifteen thousand acres of land, and to a Brigadier- General, ten thousand acres of land, to be reserved to them and their heirs, in the same manner and on the same conditions, as is by law heretofore directed for the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line in Continental service ; and there shall be, more- over, allowed to all the officers of this State, on Continental or State establishments, or to the legal representatives of such of- ficers, according to their respective ranks, an additional bounty in lands, in the proportion of one-third of any former bounty heretofore granted them. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the legal repre- sentative of any officer on Continental or State establishment, who may have died in the service before the bounty of lands granted by this or any former law, shall be entitled to demand and receive the same, in like manner as the officer himself might have done when living, agreeable to this rank. The Act of May, 1782, Chapter 47 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 81), contains this provision: BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That any officer or soldier who hath not been cashiered or superseded, and who hath served the term of three years successively, shall have an absolute and 168 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. unconditional title to his respective apportionment of the land appropriated as aforesaid; and for every year which every such officer or soldier may have continued, or shall hereafter continue in service, beyond the term of six years, to be computed from the time he last went into service, he shall be entitled to one-sixth part in addition to the quantity of land apportioned to his rank respectively. The Act of October, 1782, Chapter 34 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 161), makes due provision for all Virginians in the naval service in these words : And that all officers, seamen, and marines, or their represen- tatives, shall be entitled to the same bounty in lands and other emoluments as the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental establishment. Finally, by Act of October, 1783, Chapter 4 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 309), the following apt directions are given con- cerning the order in which the allotted lands shall be taken up — AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the surveyors under the direction of the superintendents, and the claimants having a right to survey from the priority of their numbers, shall proceed in the first place to survey all the good lands, to be adjudged of by the superintendents, in that tract of country lying on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, as set apart by law for the said officers and soldiers, and then proceed in like manner to survey on the northwest side of the river Ohio, be- tween the rivers Scioto and the Little Miami, until the deficiency of all military bounties in lands shall be fully and amply made up. In the year 1784, the Superintendents appointed by the depu- tation of officers, (October Session, 1783, Chap. 4, Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 309), proceeded to Kentucky for the pur- pose of laying ofif and surveying the lands in the military dis- tricts of the Kentucky reserve, but found them in the possession of the Indians, and claimed by them. The settlers in the country earnestly represented to the Legislature of Virginia, that, if the surveys were persisted in, the infant and defenceless settlements in Kentucky would be involved in all the horrors and calamities of an Indian war. Accordingly, at the October Session of 1784 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 447), the Legislature authorized the Governor of Virginia to suspend, for such time as he may think the tranquillity of the government may require, the sur- COL.

SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 169 veying or taking possession of those lands that He on the north- west side of the river Ohio, or below the mouth of the Tennessee River, and which have been reserved for the officers and soldiers of the Virginia Line, and the Illinois Regiment. In pursuance of this authority, the Governor of Virginia, on the 6th day of January, 1785, issued his proclamation suspending the surveys. Thus Virginia, by her own act, put it out of the power of her officers and soldiers, after the 6th of January, 1785, to locate their warrants. This inhibition by the State authority continued until the 10th of January, 1786, when the prohibition was con- tinued by the act of the General Government. At that date, the treaty of Hopewell was concluded between the United States and the Chickasaw Indians, guaranteeing to the Indians, as part of their habitation and hunting-ground, all the lands below the Tennessee River, and providing that if any citizen of the United States, or any person not being an Indian, shall attempt to settle on any of the lands thereby allotted to the Chickasaws to live and to hunt on, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States of America, and the Chickasaws may punish him or not, as they please. The Treaty of Hopewell remained in force until 1818, when the Indian title was extinguished. This purchase from the Chickasaws was negotiated on the part of the United States by General Andrew Jackson and Governor Isaac Shelby. After that period Kentucky would not permit the location of military warrants to be made. At the December Session, 1810, of the General Assembly of Kentucky, an act, approved January 25, 1811, was passed "to Revive the Law allowing longer time for receiving Platts and Certificates into the Register's Office." Section 1 of this Act (Littell's Laws of Ky., Vol. 4, page 228, Chapter CCXL, and Morehead & Brown's Statute Law of Kentucky, Vol. II, page 915), contained the following provisos, viz.: "PROVIDED, That no survey made, or to be made, by virtue of a land office treasury warrant, issued from the State of Vir- ginia, prohibited or not liable to be entered within the bounds claimed by the Cherokee Indians, or Tellico lands, or within the bounds claimed by the Chickasaw Indians, or within the bounds reserved and set apart for the officers and soldiers south of Green River, shall be returned to the register's office: PRO- 170 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. VIDED, NEVERTHELESS, that any survey made by virtue of a legal entry, made prior to the first day of May, 1792, by virtue of a warrant or warrants, for military service in the revolutionary war with Great Britain, issued to one of the officers or soldiers, in the State or Continental line of the Virginia troops, said entry and survey having been made within the said bounds set apart for the officers and soldiers, south of Green River, except the lands south of the Tennessee River, claimed by the Chickasaw Indians, may be returned to the register's office, and patents may issue therefor as heretofore." This Act of 1811 was the last of the Kentucky Acts granting an extension of time for making and returning surveys, and it only gave time until March 1, 1812, and expressly forbade patents from being issued on any surveys made since Novem- ber 29. 1798, and not saved by the disabilities mentioned in the Act of that date. "From 1792 to 1800, that portion of Kentucky," says a former Auditor of the Commonwealth, "east of the high lands between the Tennessee and the Cumberland rivers, and reserved for the officers and soldiers of the Virginia State and Continental Lines, was not held in much estimation by the early land speculators and settlers, owing to the fact of the fear of Indian hostility, and likewise a belief that all the good lands on the rivers and creeks had been appropriated by the military claims, and the remainder thereof was poor and barren. Kentucky valued them thus: In 1795, at $30 per 100 acres; in 1796, at $40 per 100 acres; and in 1800, at $20 per 100 acres." Owing to all these difficulties, military warrants in vast numbers long remained unlocated, and Congress at different times appropriated vast quantities of western lands lo satisfy the demand, but so enormous was the quantity required, that up to 1844, it is said, 6.S0,000 acres of warrants still remained unsatisfied and unlocated. In addition to the liberal provision made by Virginia for endowing her veteran troops with lands, she also, very early in the war, enacted legislation looking to the retirement of her troops at the close of hostilities on half-pay during life. Being unable, however, to redeem the pledges given in these statutes, those who claimed under them proceeded to enforce their claims by suit in the State Courts of Virginia and, as shown below, SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 171 Congress, by appropriate legislation, afterwards undertook to satisfy these judgments. We give herewith a brief synopsis of all this legislation. Virginia Half-pay During Life. Act of May Session, 1779. (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 25.) BE IT ENACTED, That all general officers of the army, be- ing citizens of this Commonwealth, and all field-officers, cap- tains, and subalterns, commanding, or who shall command in the battalions of this Commonwealth, on Continental establish- ment, or serving in the battalions raised for the immediate de- fence of this State, or for the defence of the United States ; and all chaplains, physicians, surgeons, and surgeons' mates, ap- pointed to the said battalions, or any of them, being citizens of this Commonwealth, and not being in the service of Georgia or of any other State, provided Congress do not make some tanta- mount provision for them, who shall serve henceforward, or from the time of their being commissioned, until the end of the war ; and all such officers who have or shall become supernu- merary on the reduction of any of the said battalions, and shall again enter into the said service, if required so to do, in the same or any higher rank, and continue therein until the end of the war, shall be entitled to half-pay during life, to commence from the determination of their command or service. Act of November Session, 1781. (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 467.) BE IT ENACTED, That the officers and seamen of the navy of this State, as they stand arranged by a late regulation, shall be entitled to the same advantages as the officers belonging to this State in the land service, agreeable to their respective ranks. The officers of Virginia, under the foregoing acts, prosecuted their claims for half-pay to judgment in the courts of the State, and Congress assumed the payment of those judgments, etc., by the following 172 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Act, Approved July 5, 1832. SEC. 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, That the proper accounting officers of the Treasury do liquidate and pay the accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia against the United States, for payments to the officers commanding in the Virginia Line in the War of the Revolution, on account of the half-pay for life promised the officers aforesaid by that Common- wealth, amounting to the sum of one hundred and thirty-nine thousand, five hundred and forty-three dollars and sixty cents. Sec. 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, required and directed to pay to the State of Virginia the amount of the judg- ments which have been rendered against the said State for and on account of the promise contained in an act passed by the General Assembly of the State of Virginia, in the month of May, A. D. 1779, and in favor of the officers, or representatives of the officers, of the regiments and corps hereafter recited, and not exceeding in the whole the sum of two hundred and forty-one thousand, three hundred and forty-five dollars, to-wit: 1. To the officers, or their legal representatives, of the regi- ment commanded by the late Colonel George Gibson, the amount of the judgments which they have obtained, and which are now unsatisfied. 2. To the officers, or their legal representatives, of the regi- ment denominated the Second State Regiment, commanded, at times, by Colonels Brent and Dabney. the amount of the judg- ments which they have obtained, and which are now unsatisfied. 3. To the officers, or their legal representatives, of the regiments of Colonels Clark and Crockett, and Captain Rogers' troop of cavalry, who were employed in the Illinois service, the amount of the judgments which they have obtained, and which are now unsatisfied. 4. To the officers, or their legal representatives, serving in the regiment of State Artillery commanded by the late Colonel Marshall, and those serving in the State Garrison Regiment com- manded by Colonel Muter, and those serving in the State Cavalry, commanded by Major Nelson, the amount of the judg- SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 173 ments which they have obtained, and which are now unsatisfied. 5. To the officers, or their legal representatives, who served in the navy of Virginia during the late war of the Revolution, the amount of the judgments which they have obtained, and which are now unsatisfied. Sec. 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, directed and re- quired to adjust and settle those claims for half-pay of the of- ficers of the aforesaid regiments and corps, which have not been paid or prosecuted to judgment against the State of Virginia, and for which said State would be bound on the principles of the half-pay cases already decided in the Supreme Court of Appeals of said State; which several sums of money herein directed to be settled or paid, shall be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated by law. On the 12th of August, 1848, Congress appropriated a further sum of $81,273.17, for the payment of these Virginia half-pay claims, and made it the duty of the agent of the State to first deposit authenticated copies of the acts or judgments under which the money was paid by the State of Virginia. As no attempt has been made to incorporate in this volume any list of Revolutionary Pensioners, it has not been thought necessary to say anything about the State or National Pension Laws having to do with the Revolution. There was, of course, very extensive and cumulative legislation by the National Govern- ment on this subject. Moreover, it is estimated by Captain Anderson C. Quisenberry that of the Revolutionary soldiers pen- sioned by the National Government "more than three thousand were Kentuckians." To this statement, Captain Quisenberry, one of the most eminent and reliable authorities on Kentucky history, adds: "Taking into consideration the great number of soldiers who had not served long enough to become entitled to a pension, or who refused ever to apply for one, or who died before one be- came available, it is apparent that there must have been in Ken- tucky, first and last, at a moderate estimation, at least three Revolutionary soldiers who never got a pension for every one who did. This would make an aggregate of twelve thousand of those old heroes who became citizens of the State. Fifteen thou- sand would probably come nearer the actual fact. They now 174 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. have many thousands of descendants who are citizens of the State. In addition to these are thousands of others, descendants of Revolutionary soldiers, who have moved into the State during the last one hundred and thirty-six years, whose Revolutionary ancestors never were citizens of Kentucky. So, as has already been stated, there are probably more descendants of Revolution- ary soldiers in Kentucky, in proportion to population, than in any other State in the Union." Just how tlie Military Land Warrants catalogued here hap-- pened to come into the possession of the State Land Office of Kentucky may be best explained by subjoining the legislation bearing upon that subject. Under the "Act concerning the erection of the District of Kentucky into an Independent State," passed by the Virginia Assembly on the 18th of December, 1789 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 13, page 17), and commonly known as the "Compact with Vir- ginia," which was accepted by the Ninth Kentucky Convention held at Danville on July 26, 1790, and in pursuance of the Act of Congress of February 4, 1791, providing for the admission of Kentucky into the Union, Kentucky became a separate and independent commonwealth and, as such, a constitutent member of the United States of America, on June 1, 1792. In Sections 9 and 10 of the Compact with Virginia, it is provided as follows: 9. "That no grant of land, or land warrant to be issued by the proposed State, shall interfere with any warrant here- tofore issued from the land office of Virginia, which shall be located on land within the said district, now liable thereto, on or before the first day of September one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one. 10. "That the unlocated lands within the said district, which stand appropriated to individuals or description of individuals, by the laws of this commonwealth, for military or other services, shall be exempted from the disposition of the proposed State, and shall remain subject to be disposed of by the Commonwealth of Virginia, according to such appropriation, until the first day of May one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two, and no longer : thereafter the residue of all lands remaining within the limits of the said district, shall be subject to the disposition of the pro- posed State." HENRY P. KINKEAD. SKETCH OF J'IRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 175 At the very first session of the General Assembly of Ken- tucky, held in the town of Lexington in the month of June, 1792, an Act establishing a Land Office and providing for the ap- pointment of a Register thereof, was adopted. This Act, which was approved June 27th, 1792, and appears as Chapter XI, of Littell's Laws of Kentucky, Vol. 1, page 75, provides, in Section 2 thereof, as follows : Sec. 2. "BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That all records (or copies thereof as the case may be) of patents or grants for lands heretofore issued, with all papers and documents relating thereto, and certificates of surveys of lands now in the Virginia register's office and not patented, shall when obtained, be re- moved and lodged in the said office for their safe-keeping; and all future grants of lands shall issue from the said office in the manner and form heretofore issued from the register's office of Virginia, all certificates of surveys which have been made or here- after may be made and recorded in the surveyor's office, shall be returned to said register's office, in order that grants may issue thereon in like manner as heretofore directed. And the said office shall be kept where the general assembly hold their ses- sion." At the second session of the Kentucky General Assembly, held in Lexington, in the months of November and December, 1792, an Act concerning Surveyors and the Register of the Land Office, was passed and approved December 22, 1792. Sec- tions 3 and 5 of this Act, which appears as Chapter LXXVIII, of Littell's Laws, Vol. 1, page 165, read as follows: Sec. 3. "AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That every entry of land made on any military or treasury warrant, or which shall be made until otherwise directed by law since the first day of May last, which is in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two, and every survey made on any such entry, or grant that may issue for land by virtue of any survey made on such entry, is hereby declared null and void. Sec. 5. "The governor is requested to appoint two fit persons to examine the surveyor's office for the Virginia State and Con- tinental lines, and report to the next assembly the quantity of land entered in the reserved military boundary in this State before the first day of May last ; and the persons so appointed 176 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. shall be made a reasonable compensation for their services, and to cause this act to be made known throughout this State." The next piece of legislation which we find relating to this subject is the following Act passed by the General Assembly of Virginia on November 11, 1793, and the original of which is found in Volume 1, pages 234-5 and Chapter 16 of Shepherd's Statutes at Large of Virginia, same being a continuation of Hening's Statutes. This Act is as follows : "An Act to y\.uthorize the Register of the Land Office to deliver the Original Title Papers, respecting Lands in the State of Kentucky. "L BE IT ENACTED, That the register of the land office deliver to any person or persons whom the executive of this State shall certify to him to be officially appointed by the State of Kentucky, all original papers now being in the land office, re- specting the titles of lands within the said State. "2. And be it further enacted. That any person or persons who may be appointed by the State of Kentucky, shall have free access to the records of the land office and to the commissioner's books, and be at full liberty, at the expense of the said State, to make a fair copy or copies of all records that relate to the title for lands within the said State, and of the said commissioner's books, which copy or copies shall be certified and subscribed by the register of the land office, who shall thereunto affix his seal of office : Provided, That the State of Kentucky shall be at no expense for the register's certifying and examining the same. "3. This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passing thereof." The first Act adopted by the General Assembly of Kentucky on the same subject was an Act approved February 27, 1797, which appears as a part of the Session Acts of the February Ses- sion, 1797, and which will be found in Littell's Laws of Kentucky, Vol. 1, page 642, Chapter CCCV. This Act is as follows: "An Act concerning the Original Title Papers of Land in this State remaining in the Register's Office in the State of Vir- ginia. "BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, That Edmund Thomas is hereby authorised and appointed to ap- SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. \77 ply to the Executive of the State of Virginia, for all the original papers in the Register's office of that State on which the titles to land in this State depend, or in any wise relating thereto; and where the originals can not be had, to take copies of all the war- rants, plats and certificates ; and also of all patents that have been issued for lands lying in this State, and enter the same in well-bound books to be provided by him for that purpose. And the said Edmund Thomas is hereby authorised and empowered to demand and receive from the Register of the Land Office in the State of Virginia, all monies by him received on plats and certificates for which the patents have not issued, together with a list of their names, and the several sums paid by them as well on lands whereon the patents have not been issued as otherwise; and shall pay and account for the same to the treasurer of this State on oath, and lodge the said list with the Register. The said Edmund Thomas shall secure all the books and papers that he is hereby directed to receive from the State of Virginia, in sufficient trunks, and transport the same to this State, and lodge them in the Register's office, and take the Register's receipt therefor. "The said Edmund Thomas shall enter into bond with sufficient security, to the Governor of this State, for the time being, in the penalty of two thousand pounds, for the due and faithful per- formance of the duties that are enjoined him by this act, within ten months from the passage of this act. And the said Edmund Thomas shall be furnished with the sum of one thousand dollars out of the public treasury, to enable him to obtain and bring the said papers to this State ; and he shall be entitled to a compensa- tion for his services when performed. "The auditor shall grant a warrant to the said Edmund Thomas for the amount of the sum allowed by this act ; and the treasurer, upon the said warrant being produced to him, shall pay the same." Supplementing the above enactment, a subsequent Act, adopted by the General Assembly of Kentucky, was approved February 3, 1798, and same appears as a part of the Session Acts of the January Session, 1798, and will be found in Littell's Laws of Kentucky, Vol. 2, page 181, Chapter XCVIIL This last Act is as follows : 178 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. "An Act to amend an Act, entitled 'An Act concerning the original Title Papers of Land in this State, remaining in the Regis- ter's Office in the State of Virginia.' "WHEREAS unavoidable delays have prevented the Act passed at the February Session (1797), entitled 'An Act concern- ing the original Title Papers of Land in this State, remaining in the Register's Office in the State of \'irginia,' from being carried into effect ; and from the great expence attending the execution of the said business, it is necessary that further provision be made for completing the same : "BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, That Edmund Thomas, the agent for the State, shall have the fur- ther time of nine months to complete the business enjoined him, according to the above recited act, anything to the contrary not- withstanding ; and shall, moreover, be allowed the sum of three thousand dollars, in addition to the sum already received, for finally completing the business enjoined him by the act afore- said, one-half of which he is entitled to receive on his requesting the same, and the other half on his producing the governor's certificate of his having completed the business ; and the auditor shall issue his warrant accordingly. "This act shall be in force from the passage thereof." To further authenticate the warrants, of which a digest is printed herein, we have published a fac simile of one of the original warrants, as same appear in the two manuscript volumes in the Land Office at Frankfort. This fac simile is of Warrant No. 2012 for 1666 2/3 acres of land granted to Major-General Charles Scott in consideration of his services for his eighth year as a Brigadier in the Virginia Continental Line. This is the same General Scott who afterwards became Governor of Kentucky. We also had photographs made of the Certificates to each of the volumes in question and cuts of these photographs are in- cluded in the present publication. They not only authenticate our digest of the warrants but furnish interesting evidence of the manner in which Edmund Thomas, Esquire, the special agent for Kentucky, executed his important commission. The first of these Certificates, appended to the first volume of transcripts, reads as follows : ( re .\ L ( // ^.v / ^ , >/^^v: <^>.r,.:.<:^4.,.,^^^.y' — \ X y/f^/Al^ ^ \ ■^ CERTIFICATE No. 1, VIRGINIA MILITARY WARRANTS.

Price, Regr." ^ The Virginia State Library has this year (1912) published a Special Report of the Department of Archives and History for 1911," which contains a list of about thirty-five thousand (35 000) names of "Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia." Mr. Eckenrode. 180 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. the Chief Archivist, draws some interesting conclusions from this partial completion of the stupendous task he has undertaken, namely, to supply full, connected and reliable data concerning all the forces, continental, state, militia and navy, furnished by Virginia in the Revolutionary War. "The number of men who served from Virginia in the Revolutionary War," says Mr. Eckenrode, "can never be ac- curately known for the lack of company and regimental rolls, but it is certain that a very large proportion of the able-bodied white male population was actually in service at some time or other during the struggle. The lists of militia called into the field have not yet been found, if such lists exist, although thou- sands of men were ordered into service for short periods of time, especially in 1780 and 1781. "The principal sources for the names of soldiers of the Con- tinental and State lines are the lists of those serving in the two branches who received back pay due them after the war and the index of applications for land bounties made by soldiers who had served three years or more in any military capacity or by their heirs." "The militia records," he adds, "are exceedingly fragmen- tary. Strangely enough, the pay-rolls for the western depart- ment have been preserved, and it is probable that the names of few Kentucky militiamen have been lost, while the rolls for the eastern and much more thickly settled and civilized portion of the State have not been found. * * * ]\To estimate of the number of militia called into the field in the course of the war can be safely made at the present time." From this most valuable report it is learned that among the archives of the Virginia State Library are several hundred loose manuscript rolls of militia and regulars in the Illinois Depart- ment, and this collection is known as the "Illinois Papers." The pay-rolls have been formed into a separate collection designated as "Illinois Papers, D." "These pay-rolls," says Mr. Eckenrode, "contain practically all the names of the men serving in the western part of Virginia during the Revolutionary War." This will, doubtless, be good news to those Kentuckians of the present day who have long cherished the belief that the "Pioneer Commonwealth" deserved far more credit for the part she played during the Revolutionary struggle than is generally SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 181 accorded her and that this fact would plainly appear with the production of the requisite "documentary evidence." Here it is at last. It will be understood, of course, that the Military Land War- rants, to be found in the State Land Ofifice of Kentucky and of which a complete synoptical Catalogue is here for the first time published, do not constitute all of the land bounty warrants is- sued by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The total number was probably somewhere between seven and eight thousand, if not more. The list inserted here, as will be seen, contains but 4,627 names, all told. The office of Register of the Land Office of Kentucky was created by Act of June 27, 1792 (Littell's Laws, Vol. 1, page 75), and by an Act of March 11, 1898, this office was abolished and the work of the Land Office placed in charge of the Auditor of Public Accounts. (See Kentucky Statutes, Section 4001a.) That the records of the Land Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky are of incalculable importance is evident, upon a moment's reflection, to every person, when the fact is recalled that the title to all lands in the State are based upon the original papers to be found in this office. Since the time that the territory embraced in the now State of Kentucky was only a county of Virginia down to the present time, the records have been kept in several systems known as the Virginia, Kentucky, Headright or South of Green River, Land Warrant, etc. Virginia Grants. The Commonwealth of Virginia issued from 1782 to 1792 about ten thousand grants of lands within what is now the terri- tory of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Quite a number of these grants were based upon warrants issued by the Common- wealth of Virginia in consideration of military services in the French and Indian war, and in the war of the Revolution. The grants under this system are recorded in sixteen books. The surveys upon which they were issued are recorded in eleven books. There are indexes to both grants and surveys. The original papers are in file boxes, labeled and indexed. 182 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Kentucky Grants. From 1793 to 1856, these grants were issued by the Com- monwealth of Kentucky, and are recorded in twenty books. In this system are to be found MiHtary, Seminary or Academic, Treasury Warrant, and Pre-emption Grants, based upon War- rants and Surveys made, and issued by Virginia before Kentucky separated from that State. These twenty books are indexed. The original papers to said grants are in file boxes, properly labeled and indexed. Military Grants. These are grants that were given by the Commonwealth of Virginia to officers and soldiers for services performed during the Revolutionary War and were located upon what was known as the military or reserved line, the boundary of which was as follows: "Bounded by the Green River, and a southeast course from the head thereof to the Cumberland Mountains ; with the said mountains to the Carolina (now Tennessee) line, with the Carolina (Tennessee) line to the Cherokee or Tennessee River, with the said river to the Ohio River, and w-ith the Ohio to the said Green River," (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 56). Some of these grants were located west of the Tennessee River, and were legalized by an Act of the Kentucky Legislature, which was approved December 26, 1820. (See Session Acts, 1820, pages 197-200, Chap. CLV.) The Military Grants are recorded in the Virginia, Kentucky, and West of Tennessee River Systems. A cross-index of the Military Warrants shows 983 names of officers or soldiers whose warrants were assigned to other parties. For a fuller index and syllabus of these Land Office docu- ments, reference may be had to the useful "Report on the Ar- chives of the State of Kentucky," by Dr. Irene T. Myers, of Tran- sylvania University, published in the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1910, pages 331-364, and reprinted, in 1912, as Appendix C, to the Eleventh Report of the Public Archives Commission (Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.)

Dembitz, published in 1890, said chapter being entitled "The First Disposition of the Land," and Littell's Laws of Kentucky, Vol. 1, pages 385-464. Littell & Swigert's Digest of the Statute Law of Kentucky (1822), Vol. II, pages 7\2-7ZZ, Chapter CVII — gives the "Land Law of Vir- ginia, modified by Kentucky." This Virginia Land Law, com- mencing with the spring session of 1779, and terminating with the fall session of 1791, is to be found not only in Hening's Statutes at Large of Virginia, but is reprinted in full in the first volume of Littell's Laws, pages 385-464. Much the greater part of it will also be found in the first volume of Bradford's Laws of Kentucky (1799), pages 291-342, Chapter XCVIII, under the title, "A collection of the acts or parts of acts of the Virginia Assembly concerning the Titles to Lands in this Com- monwealth," approved December 17, 1796. Toulmin's Digest also gives the same. In the Appendix to Volume III of Lit- tell's Laws, at pages 587-588, will be found reprinted the Vir- ginia Act of October, 1778, Chapter ZZ, entitled, "An Act to vest certain lands on the Ohio and Green Rivers, in fee simple, in Richard Henderson and Company, and their heirs." (See Hen- ing's Statutes, Vol. 9, page 571.) The following Index or Catalogue sets forth in tabulated form the contents of each one of the 4,627 Military Land War- rants granted by Virginia and of record in the Kentucky State Land Ofifice at Frankfort. These warrants are entered, in the two manuscript volumes heretofore mentioned, three to each page. Most of them are unsigned, though some of the earlier ones and a few others here and there bear the copied signature of John Harvie, Register of the Land Office. The originals doubtless bore Harvie's official seal also but no seal or fac simile thereof is affixed to any of these copies. The substance of each warrant is given here under the fol- lowing headings, to-wit: (a) Number of Warrant, (b) Name of Officer or Soldier, (c) Number of Acres of Land Awarded, (d) Character of Service, whether as Private or Officer, and, if Officer, of What Grade, (e) Department of Service, under one or the other of the following designations : 184 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.

Several of these designations, of course, are used inter-changeably for the same department or command. In only a few instances, as will be noticed, is the name given of the particular regiment to which the bounty claimant belonged. There is no express mention at all of any of the military com- REVEREXD CHAS. LEE REYNOLDS, D. D. SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 185 panics. No mere Minute-man or member of the Militia appears to have received any of these warrants. A great many, as will be observed, were granted for service in the Virginia State Navy. In one instance, that of Warrant No. 3753, to John Roots, for 3,000 acres, the bounty appears to have been allowed by Lord Dunmore, and this action of the last royal governor of Virginia was approved and the warrant passed by the General Assembly of Virginia, on February 14, 1784, in favor of George Washing- ton, assignee of Roots. Of course, this grant was not made in consideration of services in the Revolutionary War. The next headings in the Catalogue cover (f) Length of Service, and (g) Date of Warrant. The arrangement of the names is alphabetical but only as to the initial of the last or surname of each bounty recipient. Warrant No. 1, for 100 acres, was issued August 8, 1782, to James Askew, a Private, who had served three years in the Continental Line. The last war- rant of the series. No. 4,627, for 1,333 1/3 acres, was issued October 29, 1793, to Henry Bedinger, a Captain in the Con- tinental Line, for his eighth year of service. Thus, the issuing of these warrants, first and last, covers a period of eleven years. As already explained, the Act of May, 1779, Chapter 13, Section 2 (Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 51), prescribes the evidence on which warrants for land bounties shall issue. Such memorials, if still preserved, will doubtless be found hid away among the ancient archives of Old Virginia, at the State Library or State Capitol in Richmond. This evidence, if now to be had, would most certainly prove of great interest and value and, that the character of the evidence may be known, we quote, for convenience, the provisions of the above-mentioned Section 2 of the Act of May, 1779. Said Section reads as follows : "And Whereas a certain bounty in lands hath been engaged to the troops on continental establishment raised by the ordinances of convention or the laws of this Commonwealth, and to the troops upon Virginia establishment: BE IT ENACTED, That the officers and soldiers of the said troops, as well as the officers and soldiers to whom a bounty in lands may, or shall be hereafter allowed by any law of this Commonwealth, shall be entitled to the quantity of waste or unappropriated lands respectively en- gaged to them by such laws, a commissioned officer or his heirs, upon certificate from any general officer of the Virginia line, or 186 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. the commanding officer of the troops on the Virginia establish- ment as the case may be, and a non-commissioned officer or soldier, or his heirs, upon certificate from the colonel or com- manding officer of the regiment, or corps to which they re- spectively belonged, that such officer or soldier hath served the time required by law, or hath been slain or died in the service, distinguishing particularly the time such officer or soldier hath served, and in what regiment or corps such service hath been performed, or death happened ; and upon making proof before any court of record within this Commonwealth by the person's own oath, or other satisfactory evidence of the truth and authen- ticity of the said certificate, and that the party had never before proved or claimed his right to land for the service therein men- tioned, which proof the clerk of the court before whom it shall be made, is hereby empowered and required to endorse and cer- tify upon the original certificate, making an entry or minute thereof in his order book and recording the same ; and every county court shall annually, in the month of October, send to the register's office, a list of all certificates granted by their re- spective county courts upon any of the before mentioned rights, there to be recorded." By Act of May, 1782, Chapter 47, Section 8, it was declared that land bounty warrants should be granted, upon producing to the Register a certificate from the Commissioner of War, and not otherwise. (See Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, pages 83-84.) But by Act of October, 1782, Chapter 14, the office of Commissioner of War was abolished and the duties transferred to the Executive. (Hening's Stats., Vol. 11, page 133.) From and after that period, certificates for land bounties were uniformly issued by orders of the Governor and Council or Executive Department of the Commonwealth, upon the production before the Executive of satisfactory evidence by the party claiming the bounty that he was entitled thereto. This practice subsequently received ex- press legislative sanction in Chapter 12 of the Virginia Acts of 1815. Occasionally warrants were issued "agreeable to a Resolution of the General Assembly," of a specified date. These resolu- tions are not published in Hening's Statutes at Large of Vir- ginia and. to find them, one must resort to the original Session Acts or to the Journals of the General Assembly. In the case SKETCH OF VIRGINIA BOUNTY LAND SYSTEM. 187 of Major-General Baron Frederick William Steuben, we find a bounty of 15,000 acres, ''in consideration of his military services, granted to him by a particular Act of Assembly, agreeably to a Certificate from himself, which is received into the Land Office." The Act in question recites — "As a testimony of the high sense the General Assembly of Virginia entertain of the important serv- ices rendered the United States by the Honourable Major-General Baron Steuben, // is further enacted, That fifteen thousand acres of land be granted to the said Major-General Baron Steuben, in like manner as is hereinbefore granted to other Major-generals." (See Acts of October, 1780, Chapter 27, Section 5; Hening's Stats., Vol. 10, page 375.) For certified copies of any of the warrants here catalogued, address the Auditor of Public Accounts of Kentucky, or the Clerk of the Land Office, care of State Capitol, Frankfort, Ken- tucky, enclosing fifty cents (50c), the statutory fee, for each copy desired. CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF VIRGINIA, From the Commencement of the Revolution^ in 1775, to THE Establishment of Kentucky as an Independent Commonwealth, on June 1, 1792. John Murray, Earl of Dunmore, was the last Royal Governor of Virginia. He served as Governor from his accession on March 31, 1772, to the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775, when he abandoned his office and left the country. From the abdication of Lord Dunmore to the formal erec^ tion of Virginia into an independent and sovereign State, in June, 1776, there was an "Interregnum," during which the executive functions were exercised provisionally by the Presidents, for the time being, of the successive Virginia Conventions. Peyton Randolph was President of the Conventions of March and July, 1775, but having died before the next Convention, held in December, Edmund Pendleton was appointed his successor. 188 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. Edmund Pendleton was President of the Conventions of December, 1775, and May, 1776, at which last, the Constitution of Virginia being adopted, the powers of the Convention ceased. Patrick Henry was elected the first Governor of Virginia, under the Constitution, on the 29th of June, 1776, the same day on which the Constitution was adopted, and he continued as Governor until the latter end of the May Session, 1779, of the Virginia Assembly, Thomas Jefferson was elected Governor June 1, 1779, and served as such until June, 1781, when he resigned. Thomas Nelson, Junior, was elected Governor June 12, 1781, and continued as such until November 30, 1781, when he re- signed. Benjamin Harrison was elected Governor November 30, 1781, and served until November 29, 1784. Patrick Henry was elected, a second time. Governor of Virginia, in DecenTDer, 1784, and held the office until December, 1786. Edmund Randolph was elected Governor in December, 1786, and continued as such until December, 1788. Beverley Randolph was elected Governor in December, 1788, and served as such until December, 1791. Henry Lee ("Light-Horse Harry") was elected Governor in December, 1791, and held the office until December, 1794. It was Governor Henry Lee, the father of General Robert E. Lee, who pronounced Washington, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." SAMUEL M. WILSON.

French and Indian War Military Warrants, Commonly Called "Proclamation Warrants." As many large tracts of land in Central Kentucky were entered, surveyed and patented on Warrants granted under the King's Proclamation of October 7, 1763, for military services in the French and Indian War (1754-1763), a few brief ex- tracts from that Proclamation may be of interest in this connec- tion. These Military Surveys, it will, of course, be noted, are not to be confounded with the military land grants for services in the Revolutionary War. Very few of the latter were ever located in any part of the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. So Much of the King's Proclamation of 1763, as Relates TO THE Titles to Land in Kentucky.

''We do likewise authorize and require the governors and commanders in chief of all our said colonies upon the continent of North America, to grant the like quantities of land, and upon the same conditions, to such reduced officers of our navy, of like rank as served on board our ships of war in North America at the times of the reduction of Louisbourg and Quebec in the late war, and who shall personally apply to our respective gover- nors for such grants. "And whereas it is just and reasonable, and essential to our interest, and the security of our colonies, that the several nations or tribes of Indians with whom we are connected, and who live under our protection, should not be molested or disturbed in the possession of such parts of our dominions and territories as, not having been ceded to, or purchased by us, are reserved to them, or any of them, as their hunting grounds, we do therefore, with the advice of our privy council, declare it to be our royal will and pleasure that no governor, or commander-in-chief in any of our colonies of Quebec, East Florida, or West Florida, do pre- sume, upon any pretence whatever, to grant warrants of survey, or pass any patents, for lands beyond the bounds of their re- spective governments, as described in their commissions ; as also that no governor, or commander-in-chief, in any of our other colonies or plantations in America, do presume, for the present, and until our future pleasure be known, to grant warrants of survey or pass patents for any lands beyond the heads or sources of any of the rivers, which fall into the Atlantic ocean from the west and northwest, or upon any lands whatever, which, not having been ceded to, or purchased by us, as aforesaid, are re- served to the said Indians or any of them.

DANIEL BOONE. Society of the Cincinnati. Because of the resemblance of the Society of Sons of the Revokition to the Society of the Cincinnati, after which it was patterned; and because of the fact that a considerable number of the charter members of the New York, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia Societies, by which our General Society was formed, were also members of the Cincinnati, it has been thought proper to incorporate into this Year Book a condensed sketch of the Cincinnati and a list of the original members of this society (as far as their names have been preserved) in seven of the thirteen original States of the Union. This institution, moreover, is so intimately connected with affairs at the close of the Revolution, and with preparations for the return of the country to the pursuits of peace, after emerging from the conflicts of an eight years' war, that some account of it, in this connection will not be out of place. It has been beautifully said that "Providence moves through time as the gods of Plomer through space — it takes one step and ages have rolled away ;" and though it has rolled twenty-three centuries between the illustrious farmer of Rome and our own immortal farmer of Mount Vernon, yet, in the night-march of the former to the aid of the despairing army of Minutius, and in that of the latter, over the storm-lashed and icy billows of the Delaware, on the Hessian encampment at Trenton, the same "Arcturus, Orion, Pleiades, and the chambers of the South," known also in the days of the patient man of Uz, still perpetuated by the same moving Providence, enlightened both armies ; and the gaze of both generals has rested upon the same constellations, so that time, by similitude of circumstances and character, seems to have been so far annihilated as to bring the two to stand con- temporaneously on the great platform of human liberty, and to a personal recognition of each other in the great Society of Peace, bearing the name of the one and presided over by the other, whose valedictory proclaimed, that, "Having finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of action, and bidding an af- (277) 278 SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. fectionate farewell to this august body, under whose orders I have so long acted, I here ofifer my commission, and take leave of all the public employments of life" — and of whom it was said, when the "clods of the valley" were about to cover all of him that was mortal : "Our virtuous Chief, mindful only of the common good, in a moment of tempting personal aggrandizement, hushed the discontents of growing sedition; and, surrendering his power into the hands from which he had received it, con- verted his sword into a ploughshare, teaching an admiring world that to be truly great, you must be truly good." In an address delivered by Hon. Hamilton Fish, President- General of the Cincinnati, on March 22, 1889, he said : "I regard the Society 'Sons of the Revolution' as a younger brother of the Cincinnati, laboring to perpetuate the same princi- ples and inheriting the same memories which belonged to the Cincinnati." The Society of the Cincinnati was founded May 13, 1783, at Temple Hill, near New Windsor, New York, at the last canton- ment of the American Army, five years prior to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, by Washington, Knox, Steuben, and other officers of the Revolutionary War. The Institution of the Society adopted at the cantonment of the American Army, on the Hudson River, May 13, 1783, contained the following provisions, viz. : "It having pleased the Supreme Governor of the universe, in the disposition of human affairs, to cause the separation of the colonies of North America from the domination of Great Britain, and, after a bloody conflict of eight years, to establish them free, independent and sovereign states, connected by alliances, founded on reciprocal advantages, with some of the greatest princes and powers of the earth : "To perpetuate, therefore, as well the remembrance of this vast event, as the mutual friendships which have been formed under the pressure of common danger, and in many instances cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the American Army do, hereby, in the most solemn manner, associate, consti- tute and combine themselves into one society of friends, to en- dure as long as they shall endure, or any of their eldest male posterity, and in failure thereof, the collateral branches, who SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 279 may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members." 'The State Society will regulate everything respecting it- self and the societies of the districts, consistent with the general maxims of the Cincinnati." **:):*;!: ******* * "All the officers of the American army, as well those who have resigned with honor, after three years' service in the capacity of officers, or who have been deranged by the resolu- tions of Congress, upon the several reforms of the army, as those who shall have continued to the end of the war, have the right to become parties to this institution ; * * * and as a testimony of afifection to the memory and the offspring of such officers as have died in the service, their eldest male branches shall have the same right of becoming members, as the children of the ac- tual members of the Society." The first meeting was presided over by Baron Steuben at his headquarters at Fishkill-on-the-Hudson. General Washington was its first president, and Major-General Knox, secretary. Alex- ander Hamilton succeeded Washington as president, at which time the membership included representatives from the thirteen original States. Membership is limited to the eldest male pos- terity of the original members, and, in case of the extinction of the direct line, to the next in order of descent, if found worthy. In some State societies, descendants in the female line are admis- sible when the male line is extinct. It is worth noting that the city of Cincinnati received its name from prominent members of the Society of the Cincinnati, who were respectively governor and secretary of the Northwestern Territory. Members of this society, in whose veins runs the blood of officers who took part in the struggle for the independence of the colonies, meet an- nually to revive the memories and the glories of the War of the Revolution. In its earlier years the Society was strongly antagonized on account of its plan of hereditary membership, and, as believed, its exclusive, aristocratic and anti-republican tendencies, and its establishment met with a most bitter opposition throughout the young nation. By Samuel and John Adams, Jefferson, Gerry, Jay, Franklin, and many others, distinguished in the civil depart- 280 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. ments of the government, it was denounced as an order of chivalry, making rapid strides towards an hereditary miUtary nobility, sowing the seeds of vanity, ambition, corruption, discord and sedition, "Which will change the form of our government from the best to the worst in the world." This feeling of opposition has long since passed away, and the Society of the Cincinnati remains the animating spirit and venerable original of many other military, ancestral and patriotic orders which, like the Sons of the Revolution, perpetuate the memories, sacrifices, and associations of American wars. Benjamin Franklin, who, at first, took alarm at what he considered the aristocratic pretensions of the new Society, upon fuller information on the subject, so far withdrew his opposition, as to accept membership in the Pennsylvania Society. We dare say if Jefferson and those who, like him, were ap- prehensive that the Cincinnati might prove subversive of contitu- tionel liberty and republican principles, were alive to-day and could see the crying need for such organizations to keep alive the spirit of patriotism, love of country, and the national ideals, they would give it all possible encouragement and support and be as zealous in its defence as they were formerly severe in its condemnation. None but the ignorant and prejudiced can to- day deny that there is a very real and urgent need for the con- serving influence of societies such as these. The rise of the vulgar rich, the danger of industrial domination, the menace of foreign immigration, the vicious tendencies of the tyrannical trusts, the corrupt combinations between politics and business, and other evils which threaten our life as a free and enlightened nation, all combine to create an imperative demand for the reso- lute maintenance of our inherited rights, and this, the history of our country and all experience demonstrates can best be ac- complished thro' patriotic organizations such as the Cincinnati, Sons of the Revolution, and Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. The economic and social upheaval throughout the land calls for the diligent exercise of the highest qualities of patriotism and public-spirited service and the vexed problems which our national life presents will admit of no evasion or postponement. By every impulse of tradition and training the Cincinnati and Sons of the Revolution arc best qualified and equipped to combat GEO. K. GRAVES. SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 281 these imminent evils and to solve these intricate and troublesome problems. But the "joy of conflict" is as compelling to-day — the sweet satisfaction of vanquishing, in fair fight, foemen worthy of one's steel, is as alluring to-day in the arena of politics, busi- ness, and society, as ever tempted our soldier sires to the field of battle. Hence, there is no need of apology for these Revolu- tionary organizations. The signs and tendencies of the times are a sufficient reason and their own honorable history is a sufficient justification for their continued existence. Cantonment of the American Army On Hudson's River, . . . 10th May, 1783. Proposals for establishing a Society, upon Principles therein mentioned, whose Members shall be Officers of the American Army, having been communicated to the several Regiments of the respective Lines, they appointed an Officer from each, who, in conjunction with the General Officers, should take the same into Consideration, at their Meeting this Day, at which the Honor- able Major-General Baron de Steuben, the senior Officer present, was pleased to preside. The Proposals being read, fully considered. Paragraph by Paragraph, and the Amendments agreed to, Major-General Knox, Brigadier-General Hand, Brigadier-General Huntington, and Captain Shaw were chosen to revise the same, and prepare a copy to be laid before this Assembly, at their next Meeting, to be holden at Major-General Baron de Steuben's Quarters, on Tuesday the 13th instant. Tuesday, 13th, May, 1783. The Representatives of the American Army being assembled, agreeably to Adjournment, the Plan for establishing a Society, whereof the Officers of the American Army are to be Members, is accepted, and is as follows, viz. : The Institution of the Society of the Cincinnati, Agreed Upon at the "Cantonment of the American Arm\% ON Hudson River, May 13, 1783." It having pleased the Supreme Governor of the Universe, in the disposition of human affairs, to cause the separation of the 282 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTION. Colonies of North America from the domination of Great Britain, and after a bloody conflict of eight years, to establish them free, independent, and sovereign States, connected, by al- liances founded on reciprocal advantages, with some of the greatest princes and powers of the earth. To perpetuate, therefore, as well the remembrance of this vast event, as the mutual friendships which have been formed under the pressure of common danger, and in many instances cemented by the blood of the parties, the officers of the American army do hereby, in the most solemn manner, associate, consti- tute, and combine themselves into one SOCIETY OF FRIENDS, to endure as long as they shall endure, or any of their eldest male posterity, and in failure thereof, the collateral branches, who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members. The officers of the American army, having generally been taken from the citizens of America, possess high veneration for the character of that illustrious Roman, LUCIUS QUINTUS CINCINNATUS ; and being resolved to follow his example, by returning to their citizenship, they think they may, with propriety, denominate themselves THE SOCIETY OF THE CINCIN- NATI. The following principles shall be immutable, and form the basis of the Society of the Cincinnati : An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights and liberties of human nature, for which they have fought and bled, and without which the high rank of a rational being is a curse instead of a blessing. An unalterable determination to promote and cherish, between the respective States, that union and national honor so essentially necessary to their happiness, and the future dignity of the Ameri- can empire. To render permanent the cordial afifection subsisting among the officers. This spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all things, and particularly extend to the most substantial acts of beneficence, according to the ability of the Society, towards those officers and their families who unfortunately may be under the necessity of receiving it. The General Society will, for the sake of frequent communica- tions, be divided into State Societies, and those again into such districts as shall be directed by the State Society. SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 283 The societies of the districts to meet as often as shall be agreed upon by the State Society; those of the State on the fourth day of July annually, or oftener, if they shall find it ex- pedient; and the General Society on the first Monday in May annually, so long as they shall deem it necessary, and afterwards, at least once in every three years. At each meeting the principles of the institution will be fully considered, and the best measures to promote them adopted. The State Societies will consist of all the members resident in each State respectively ; and any member removing from one State to another, is to be considered, in all respects, as belonging to the Society of the State in which he shall actually reside. The State Societies to have a president, vice-president, secre- tary, treasurer, and assistant treasurer, to be chosen annually by a majority of votes, at the State meeting. Each State shall write annually, or oftener, if necessary, a circular letter to the other State Societies, noting whatever they may think worthy of observation, respecting the good of the Society, or the general union of the States, and giving informa- tion of the officers chosen for the current year. Copies of these letters shall be regularly transmitted to the secretary-general of the Society, who will record them in a book to be assigned for that purpose. The State Society will regulate every thing respecting itself and the societies of the districts, consistent with the general maxims of the Cincinnati ; judge of the qualifications of the members who may be proposed : and expel any member who, by conduct inconsistent with a gentleman and a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community in general, or the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to con- tinue a member. In order to form funds which may be respectable, and assist the unfortunate, each officer shall deliver to the treasurer of the State Society one month's pay, which shall remain forever to the use of the State Society ; the interest only of which, if necessary, to be appropriated to the relief of the unfortunate. Donations may be made by persons not of the Society, and by members of the Society, for the express purpose of forming permanent funds for the use of the State Society ; and the in- 284 SONS OF THE RESOLUTION. terest of these donations appropriated in the same manner as thai of the month's pay. Moneys, at the pleasure of each member, may be subscribed in the societies of the districts, or the State Societies, for the re- Hef of the unfortunate members, or their widows and orphans, to be appropriated by the State Society only. The meeting of the General Society shall consist of its officers, and a representation from each State Society, in number not exceeding five, whose expenses shall be borne by their respective State Societies. In the general meeting, the president, vice-president, secre- tary, assistant secretary, treasurer, and assistant treasurer-general, shall be chosen, to serve until the next meeting. The circular letters which have been written by the respective State Societies to each other, and their particular laws, shall be read and considered, and all measures concerted which may con- duce to the general intendment of the Society. It is probable that some persons may make donations to the General Society, for the purpose of establishing funds for the further comfort of the unfortunate ; in which case such donations must be placed in the hands of the treasurer-general, the interest only of which is to be disposed of, if necessary, by the general meeting. All the officers of the American army, as well those who have resigned with honor, after three years' service in the capacity of officers, or who have been deranged by the resolutions of Con- gress, upon the several reforms of the army, as those who shall have continued to the end of the war, have the right to become parties in this institution ; provided that they subscribe one month's pay, and sign their names to the general rules, in their respective State societies, — those who are present with the army immediately, and others within six months after the army shall be disbanded, extraordinary cases excepted. The rank, time of service, resolutions of Congress by which they have been de- ranged, and place of residence, must be added to each name ; and as a testimony of afifection to the memory and the offspring of such officers as have died in the service, their eldest male branches shall have the same right of becoming members as the children of the actual members of the Societv. SOCIETY OF THE CINCINNATI. 285 Those officers who are foreigners, not resident in any of the States, will have their names enrolled by the secretary-general, and are to be considered as members in the societies of any of the States in which they may happen to be. And as there are, and will at all times be, men in the respective States, eminent for their abilities and patriotism, whose views may be directed to the same laudable objects with those of the Cincin- nati, it shall be a rule to admit such characters as honorary mem- bers of the Society, for their own lives only ; Provided always, that the number of honorary members in each State does not exceed a ratio of one to four of the officers or their descendants. Each State Society shall obtain a list of its members, and, at the first annual meeting, the State secretary shall have engrossed, on parchment, two copies of the institution of the Society, which every member present shall sign ; and the secretary shall en- deavor to procure the signature of every absent member ; one of those lists to be transmitted to the secretary-general, to be kept in the archives of the Society, and the other to remain in the hands of the State secretary. From the State lists, the secretary-general must make out, at the first general meeting, a complete list of the whole Society, with a copy of which he will furnish each State secretary. The Society shall have an Order, by which its members shall be known and distinguished, which shall be a medal, of gold, of a proper size to receive the emblems, and suspended by a deep- blue ribbon, two inches wide, edged w"ith white, descriptive of the union of America and France, viz. : The principal figure, CINCINNATUS ; three senators pre- senting him with a sword and other military ensigns ; on a field in the background his wife standing at the door of their cottage ; near it a plough and implements of husbandry. Round the whole. Omnia rcliquit scrvarc Rempuhlicani.

The Society, deeply impressed with a sense of the generous assistance this country has received from France, and desirous of 236 SOXS OF THE REVOLUTIOX. perpetuating the friendships which have been formed and so happily subsisted between the officers of the allied forces, in the prosecution of the war. direct, that the President-general trans- mit, as soon as may be. to each of the characters hereafter named, a medal containing the order of the Society-, viz. : His Excellency the Chevalier De La Luzerne. Minister Plenipo- tentiary ; His Excellency the Sieur Gerard, late Minister Plenipo- tentiary ; Their Excellencies the Count D'Estaing. the Count De Grasse. the Count De Barras. the Chevalier De Touches. Admirals and Commanders in the Xa^-^■ : His Excellencv the Count De Rochambeau. Commander-in-Chief; and the Generals and Colonels of his army, and acquaint them that the Society does themselves the honor to consider them as members. RESOL\'ED. That a copy of the foregoing institution be given to the senior officer of each State Line, and that the officers of the respective State Lines sign their names to the same, in the manner and form following : viz. : We. the subscribers, officers of the American army, do hereby voluntarily become parties to the foregoing institution, and do bind ourselves to obser\-e. and be governed by. the principles therein contained. For the performance whereof we do solemnly pledge to each other our sacred honor. Done in the Cantonment on Hudson River, in the year 1783. General Heath. General Baron De Steuben, and General Knox, were appointed to wait on His Excellency General Wash- ington, with a copy of the Institution, and request him to honor the Society by placing his name at the head of it.
