A Century of Wayne County, Kentucky Ning Knives; in the Ash Beds Were Bones of Many Animals A Century of Wayne County Kentucky, 1800--1900 A Century of WAYNE COUNTY KENTUCKY 1800,, 1900 BY AUGUSTA PHILLIPS JOHNSON THE STANDARD PRINTING COMPANY HICORPORATED LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY PUBLISHERS COPYRIGHT, 1939 BY AUGUSTA PHILLIPS JOHNSON JAMES A. PHILLIPS 1845-1913 MARTHA ANN HARDIN PHILLIPS 1848-1915 F24THER and MOTHER FOREWORD Tms IS NOT A FORMAL HISTORY of Wayne County. It is the accumulation of a mass of data concerning the people who settled here, their background, their lives and accomplishments, and early history. It has been tied together as well as the information available made it possible to do so. It was undertaken under a sort of inward compulsion to discharge an obligation to some of those concerned. I seemed the logical one to do it as much of the material was dug from old manuscripts, newspaper files, let­ ters, Bible records, etc., in my possession. 1This work was begun as a history of Joshua Jones, but it be­ came increasingly clear that the whole of early Wayne was closely allied. The ties of kinship or friendship held these families in such a bond that -there could be no separate history. And more and more I have been impressed with 1the splendid character of the men and women who settled Wayne County; and their descendants are worthy of their fine forebears. I wish to give grateful acknowledgment to all those who aided me by generously allowing use of their family records. To my father, James A. Phillips, I owe much. It has been a source of deep regret 't:hat he did not write a history of this sec­ tion himself, as he was so well fitted to do. The articles signed "J. A. P." were written for the Wayne County weekly which he edited for a number of years. It may seem that a disproportionate amount of space has been devoted to some families. The explanation is that they are those who responded to the request for this information. All material has been left in its original form wherever it was possible to do so. December, 1938.

They made camp near Mill Springs and remained there hunting and trapping for more than two years. It is easy to understand their extended stay, for nature has made this a region of rare beauty. The quiet meadows merging into verdure-clad hills, the clear, running streams on their way to the Cumberland River, make of this a beauty spot not excelled anywhere in the state. And here were fur-bearing animals in abundance. Among these "Long Hunters" were James and Richard Knox, Willian1 Allen, Joseph Drake, Obadiah Terrell, John Rains, Uriah Stone, Henry Smith, Edward Cowan, Christopher Stoph, Humphrey Hogan, Cassius Brooks, Robert Crockett, James Graham, Iohn Montgomery, Abraham Bledsoe, Richard Skaggs, Henry Skaggs, David Lynch, Kasper Mansco, and Russell and Hughes. They made a camp and a depot for their game and skins near an excellent spring about six miles from the present site of Monti­ cello. They found no trace of human settlement but in dry caves were many places where stones had been set up that covered quantities of human bones. Dr. W. D. Funkhouser and Dr. William Webb, on an archaeological expedition in 1922 for the University of Kentucky, explored the caves of this section and in their book, Ancient Life in Kentucky, say: "Hines Cave, about six miles from Monticello, yielded the most remains of any in Kentucky. The cave is spacious and well drained. The entrance is protected from wind, rain, and snow by high cliffs, yet well lighted for some distance. The bottom is level and dry and this must have been a desirable shelter to the people who occupied it. There were remains from many fires and in the graves were many artifacts, awls, needles, and skin- 4 A Century of Wayne County, Kentucky ning knives; in the ash beds were bones of many animals. In one grave was found the skeleton of a young woman with a round piece of shining mica of the type that comes from North Carolina. Many skeletons were found and many more artifacts, stone hoes, flint arrowheads, pipes, pottery, and textiles. Ani­ mal bones were those of wolf, bear, wildcat, raccoon, fox, deer, buffalo, beaver, rabbit, turkey, quail, turtle shells, and mussel shells. Many other caves in this section indicate they were the homes of the cave dwellers or Indians who lived in caves in pre­ historic times." The hunters separated into groups to meet here again. They built another depot on Caney Fork of Russell's ,creek, where Mt. Gilead Church was built later. Some of the hunters returned home. Some built rafts, loaded them with skins and floated down the Cumberland River to the Ohio, thence to the Missis­ sippi and on down to New Orleans. Stoph and Allen were ~aptured by Cherokees. The Indians plundered the camp during their absence, carrying off skins, pots, pans, etc. Bledsoe' s pro­ fanity is perhaps excusable when, returning, he wrote on a fallen sycamore: "2300 deerskins lost; ruination, by God." These men were from the settlements on the Holston and Clinch and New ·River-as hardy a band of pioneers as ever came into the Wilderness. They knew not the word fear. They were skilled in woodcraft and could meet the Indian on his own ground, but they lacked the cruelty of the savages who were even then committing depredations on the Virginia border. In the meantime, growing dissatisfaction v,ith British rule was steadily leading to war. In 1774 Colonel William Preston, commanding the militia in Southwest Virginia, gave orders to Captain Billy Russell, of Russell's Fork, to warn settlers and surveyors in Ken­ tucky of an Indian uprising. Captain Russell selected Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner £or this undertaking. They camped about five miles from Monticello, and Stoner liked the country so well that he afterwards returned and made his home there for many years and is buried near Monticello. Lewis Preston Sum­ mers, in his History of Southwest Virginia, page 226, quotes the following report of a battle between Indians and British

    THE DESCENDANTS OF GABRIEL JONES OF ESSEX AND CULPEPER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. by Mildred Conway Jones 1 2 FOREWORD This document has been retyped (using a computer scanner and editor) from a copy of the manuscript that was written by Mildred Conway Jones in about 1949. The purpose of this effort is to provide a document that can be updated easily with corrections and additions to the Gabriel Jones descendant tree. Sarah Carter Jones Rogallo February 1997 Refomatted using OpenOffice March 2011 3 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to acknowledge gratefully the valuable assistance of Margaret Jones (Mrs. Frank Westfall) Dearduff, of Parkville, Missouri, who prepared the data on the Illinois branch of the Robert Jones line, assisted in collecting material included in Generations I and II, and so ably typed the manuscript. To Anne Elliott (Mrs. Arthur Lee) Odell, 443 S. Roosevelt Avenue, Pasadena, California, also goes grateful appreciation for collaborating on the sketch of Robert Jones and for the line of Elizabeth Ashby Jones. 5 6 THE DESCENDANTS OF GABRIEL JONES OF ESSEX AND CULPEPER COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. The origins of this particular Jones family are not known, the first definitely identified being Gabriel Jones of Essex County, Virginia, who emigrated to Culpeper County in 1744. The Reverend Clayton Torrence, of the Virginia Historical Society, who did research for Mrs. William Green Poindexter of Greenwood, Mississippi, suggests that the above Gabriel is probably a descendant of Richard Jones of York County, will dated March 28, 1660, (York Records, Book 3, p. 98), who was survived by wife, Elizabeth, sons Gabriel and Richard, and daughters not named.

    LAIR: A Language for Automated Semantics-Aware Text Sanitization based on Frame Semantics Steffen Hedegaard, Søren Houen, Jakob Grue Simonsen Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen (DIKU) Universitetsparken 1, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø Denmark [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—We present LAIR: A domain-specific language that enables users to specify actions to be taken upon meeting specific semantic frames in a text, in particular to rephrase and redact the textual content. While LAIR presupposes superficial knowledge of frames and frame semantics, it requires only limited prior programming experience. We have implemented a LAIR compiler and integrated it in a pipeline for automated redaction of web pages. We detail our experience with au- tomated redaction of web pages for subjectively undesirable content; initial experiments suggest that using a small language based on semantic recognition of undesirable terms can be highly useful as a supplement to traditional methods of text sanitization.
