D. 1912 United States of America Compiled by WILLIAM CRUMBY CLAGHORN Philadelphia ]OHN \1/ILL!AM CLAGHORN,6 of Philadelphia. Jrrftttt When nearing the completion of a work of this character the writer cannot help but refer to its inception. One hundred years ago a young New Englander by birth came to Philadelphia to earn his living and if possible make his fortune. He was eager, ambitious and patriotic. His father was dead, and also both grandfathers, but he knew how unselfishly they had served their country; one as a major in the Continental Line, and the other as the commander of a ten-gun privateer. His respect for his male progenitors and his love for his mother led him to carefully transcribe the genealogical lines of both families. These records made by John William Claghorn& have been handed to us, and with the assistance of Surgeon Charles E. Banks, Captain George Cleghorn Tancred, Charles Claghorn, and John W. Claghorn, 3d, and many others directly and indirectly connected with the family have completed this volume. Let us continue these records and pass to each succeeding gen­ eration with the same interest in their preservation and exten­ sion that has been shown in their compilation. 7 IDl}r C!!luglrnru 1Jtatttily.

D. 80, during the invasion of the Romans, a camp was estab­ lished by Agricola near the border line of Scotland, at a place called Glegerne. There are still traces of this camp and it is described in General Roy's History of Military Rome Antiquities -and with a very good plate. There was also an ancient Chapel of Clegerne in connection with the Abbey Dryburgh, but the site is now unknown. The Barony of Cleghorne was held by Roger de Valonius in the twelfth century; who, as is shown by a Bull of Removal in 1203, had given twelve acres of land to the Canons of N ewbattle, who held them until 1273, when their title to them was confirmed by Pope Gregory X, but by an endorsement in this Bull, the possession of them passed from the Abbey. In 1228, the lands of Cleghorn were held from Philip de Val­ onius by Robert Carmicely or Karamikley (Carmichael)- he was succeeded by his daughter, Ellina, who in 1306 did homage for her lands to Edward I. In 1441, the lands of Cleaugh and part of Cleghorn were granted to Sir Allan Lockhart, of Lanarkshire, whose family still hold title to the same in the present year of 1912. After the origin of the name Cleghorne, we find it first ap­ pearing as a family name in the fifteenth_ century. A little later William Cleghorne and John Cleghorne, of Le­ thanhope, are mentioned in Pitcairns' Criminal Trials, Vol. I, Part I, A. D. 1502, as follows: I I Witt (!Hnglµtru Ji atttily. "James Grey in Fawlishope produced a Remission for the Art and Part of the cruel slaughter of cattle and the theft of goods, and James Ker, of Linthoune, became surety to satisfy." The claim of William Cleghorne was for a horse and eighty sheep and the claim of John Cleghorne for the theft of goats and goods. This was at the termination of a period of great unrest on the Scottish border, which ended during the reign of Henry VII by the marriage of his daughter to the King of Scotland. m4e Q!laglJnru JTrunily. Qtlrg~nntt!l tn Ehiuburg~ atth tts ]ttrinity The Cleghornes who resided in Edinburgh and its immediate vicinity were principally merchants, although we find a number of them holding public offices in Scotland and in England .. James Cleighorne, who married into the Rous or Rouse family, in England, was the Warden of the High Commissioner's Court, and a man of considerable wealth, as is shown by various items in his Will, 1640, as follows: "My body to be buried in St. Margarett's Church in West­ minster, in the place where my deceased and beloved wife lieth buried. * * * I give to the poore of Okingham £3, unto Mr. Bateman £20, to the poore of St. Margarett's £5. To my daugh­ ter Ellen £2000, twoe gilded tankerds, one silver drinking boul, twoe gilt spoons, and my gould chaine, etc. -* "' * Unto my grandchild James Rouse my whole right and interest in a patent of the Reversion of the office of Warden of the High Commis­ sion Court, and I appoint my brother-in-law John Exton, Doctor of the Civil Lawe, and Mr. Robt. Castle, rector of Glatton, my sole executors." Dr. George Cleghorne, of Dornock, is mentioned at the time of the "Renewal of Power and Commissions" granted in Publick Affairs, July 16th, 1650. Those appointed were the Marquis of Argyle, five Earls, five Lords, five Baronets, nine Lairds, one General, one Advocate, and fourteen Laymen. Among them was Dr. George Cleghorne, of Dornock, who had several sons appren­ ticed to merchants in Edinburgh. It was also a relative of his, Mr. David Cleghorn, of Edinburgh, who was elected to Parliament in 1668. C!Urg~nrurs tu Olrumnuh. 1Lnt~tuu. Olnrstnrp~tm. ett. After the apparent origin of the family name in Lanark, we find numerous Cleghornes around the Firth of Forth, where they settled and their descendants remained for several hundred years. In 1352 the farms of Grotthill, Cramond, were made free, and in 1500 or thereabouts we find a David Cleghorne at Groutoun with his family, the rest of the farms in that section being still under the feudal laws. David Cleghorne died in 1577 and at the time of his death there were living in this section about ten persons by the name. In 1600 there were numerous families by the name of Cleghorne occupying farms in Cramond, Corstorphine, Abercorn, Wister­ Dudingston and East and West Craigs of Corstorphine, near Edinburgh. James Cleghorn the elder died in West Craigs, June 5th, 1588, and left among others a son James and a son Harry. Harry or Henry was apprenticed to a merchant in Edinburgh in 1611. We have no record of his death, but know that he had three sons and one daughter, namely, Thomas; David, James and Isobel. Thomas must have died early or in some way became removed from the family, as upon the death of David Cleghorn in 1647, we find that he willed his estate to the younger children, James and Isobel. As near as we can determine this young James Cleghorn is the ancestor of the Cleghorns and Claghorns of America. 14 tJJ!Jt Qtlag!Jnm Jinmily. In January, 1650, the English army, under Cromwell, occupied the parish of Corstorphine for about one year. During that time the country and farms were devastated by war, and the various families driven out. This condition lasted until the Battle of Dunbar, which took place at Dunbar on September 3d, 1650, which after a severe de­ feat to Charles II, resulted in the capture of over 9,000 Scots. About five thousand of these were released, being wounded, and the balance in various ways sent to England, according to letter of Sir Arthur Haselrigge, Governor of Newcastle, in whose charge the prisoners were, to the Council of State, dated October 31st, 1650, only eleven days before he was ordered to send 150 of them to New England on the ship "Unity." Of those at Durham, 350 were delivered to Major Clark for transportation to Virginia. The balance of the prisoners were either sent to the Salt Works at Shields or put to work in New Castle. Five hundred were kept in Durham Castle, and about six hundred at the Cathedral. By ordinance of Parliament, dated the 20th of October, 1651, two hundred and sixty-two Scots imported from the ship "John and Sara" free of duty and were consigned to be sold by those at whose expense they were sent over to the inhabitants who were in need of slaves or servants. These were registered at Gravesand at the Search Office on November 8th, 1651, by John Bradley, Sealer with the Arms of the Commonwealth, and entered at Boston by Edward Rawson, Recorder, on May 13th, 1652. That some effort was made to find the whereabouts and condi­ tion of these prisoners is shown by the Petition of Lieut.

  • Copper Sheathing, Industrial Espionage and an Eminent American Entrepreneur
    Copper Sheathing, Industrial Espionage and an Eminent American Entrepreneur Louis Arthur Norton For millennia wooden ships that plied the world’s oceans were plagued by biological problems. These were a multifaceted result of water temperature, salinity, levels of sunlight and the quantity of nutrients in the water. Vessel hulls, in time, collected seaweed affecting their speed and maneuverability. The ship’s longevity was impacted by infestations of two marine borers: the shipworm, a wormlike clam and tiny crustaceans known as gribbles. Combined they largely destroyed the integrity of marine timber structures, often working together to bore tunnels in wood to make it spongy and friable. Countless schemes were tried over time to solve sea flora and wood-rot problems. Some produced limited success until, in the eighteenth century, a relatively simple and practical solution was found, one that would shape maritime history. The evolution of that discovery ultimately affected two American icons, one a storied ship, the other a patriot, entrepreneur and an industrial opportunist. Of weeds, quasi-worms and “lice” Continuous attack by saltwater flora meant that seaweed and barnacles had to be laboriously and mechanically scraped off from a careened ship1. In a procedure called “graving,” a graving compound, a mixture of tar, tallow and sulfur, was smeared on the cleaned hull. It was effective against seaweed for several years (though not against borers), but had to be refreshed frequently at great labor costs. This process helped with the weed problem, but it did not affect shipworm infestations, a far more complex, problematic conundrum.2 The term “shipworms,” is a misnomer.

Advisor: Professor Joyce E. Chaplin John Michael Huffman Americans on Paper: Identity and Identification in the American Revolution Abstract The American Revolution brought with it a crisis of identification. The political divisions that fragmented American society did not distinguish adherents of the two sides in any outward way. Yet the new American governments had to identify their citizens; potential citizens themselves had to choose and prove their identities; and both sides of the war had to distinguish friend from foe. Subordinated groups who were notionally excluded from but deeply affected by the Revolutionary contest found in the same crisis new opportunity to seize control over their own identities.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

  • Dr. J.P. London Obituary
    DR. J. PHILLIP LONDON OBITUARY JANUARY 22, 2021 His signature was “Always my best’—Jack.” It was both a promise and an expectation. His passions were his family, the Navy, and CACI International (NYSE:CACI), the company he led for almost fifty years and grew into a $5.7 billion information technology juggernaut with 23,000 employees in 155 offices worldwide. A luminary of the government contracting industry, Dr. J. Phillip “Jack” London, CACI’s Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board, passed away on January 18 at age 83. An Entrepreneurial Visionary, Dr. London is known as the founder of the modern-era CACI. Joining the company in 1972 as employee number 35, he rose through the ranks to become the President and Chief Executive Officer, positions he held for more than 20 years until he passed the reins to a successor in 2007. An avid trend reader, he was always one step ahead of the market, nimbly growing the company’s capabilities, service offerings, and footprint over decades of expansions and contractions in his market. Dr. London was an industry giant who drove all of CACI’s major strategic initiatives, including a highly successful mergers and acquisition program, which he initiated in 1992. He oversaw 79 company acquisitions. As he has said, “Building a company takes more than just good management and leadership skills. It requires a different kind of mindset; one that envisions, motivates, innovates, and supports the company and its employees along the way. Some people are good at making companies more efficient or profitable, but building is different.

    UNITED STATES SHIP CONSTITUTION 1 - Aft by EMign John looch, USN. ,"-, -.-.~..":--~~~~ .......- - _. ~ Welcome aboard USS CONSTITUTION. the oldest fully com- missioned warship in.the world and still a part of the U.S. Navy.

During those years. the young nation'seconomy depended upon. and was nurtured by. seaborne commerce with peoples around the world. Those of our merchants who traded in the Mediterranean found it increasingly more difficult to conduct busi- ness because of the attacks of the Barbary (North African) pirates. who knew there was no U.S. Navy to stop them.

Some of the canvas came from Rhode Island and New Jersey provided the keel and cannon balls.
