UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Copyright by- Ross Frederick Bagby /99& ABSTRACT In 1846 Virginia courts freed 383 slaves of Roanoke plantation by ruling which will of John Randolph of Roanoke's was valid. Sent to found a free black colony in Mercer County. Ohio, these "Randolph Slaves" were refused entry by a mob of Mercer County whites. The freed people instead dispersed throughout western Ohio. In the 1880’s, the Randolph Slaves and their descendants explored legal action, culminating in the 1903 lawsuit MOTON VS. RESSENS. This demanded Mercer County farmers surrender properties on which the Randolphs would have settled. Behind the drama of these lawsuits, migrations, and mob threats is a saga of communities forming and interacting. How those 383 blacks came to be the slaves of Randolph of Roanoke begins with economic pressures creating Virginia piedmont tobacco plantations such as Roanoke. Family quarrels and tragedies left the slaves property of the possibly insane John Randolph, whose inspirations included his older brother Richard founding the Virginia free black community of Israel Hill. Examining Roanoke's plantation records with methodologies from genealogy to statistical analysis enables reconstruction of how Randolph's slaves lived ; how master, slaves, and overseers interacted : and who constituted the 383 people manumitted. Mercer County, Ohio, seemed ideal for the Randolph Slaves because of an existing black community assisted by abolitionist Augustus Wattles. However, Mercer County had not only racial tensions but conflicts within the white community over religion, ethnicity, and politics. Vigilante practices had already produced a mob against a local dam. After repulsing the Randolph Slave resettlement, antiblack leaders attempted expelling all local blacks, failing when Augustus Wattles petitioned Ohio's governor. Mercer County continued to have a history marred by violence and mobs throughout the 19th century. The Randolph Slaves dispersed throughout more hospitable counties, remaining distinct within local black populations. They did not forget the thwarted plan. Lawsuits in the 1900's again confronted Mercer County farmers with Randolph Slaves. In judging their claims, courts weighed the original legal disputes over Randolph's wills, plus what 11 defined a Randolph Slave". Though the Randolphs lost, they demonstrated a persistent community. Ill ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my gratitude to Prof. Frank F. Mathias of the University of Dayton, whose professional courtesy freed me to begin researching this topic. Joyce Alig of the Mercer County Historical Society not only helped me with information but loaned me her copy of the Brief of the Defendant in Error in the 1907-1917 lawsuits. Of my fellow librarians. Minor Weisiger of the Virginia State Library and Margaret Cook of the College of William and Mary's Earl Gregg Swem Library distinguished themselves to me not only for their aid with the archival materials but for their continued services regarding minor matters in the mailed photocopies. The Herculean achievement of Mercer County Courthouse secretary Jill E. Snyder in photocopying for my use the over 1,000 page typescript of MOTON v. KESSENS amidst the other demands on her time here at last receives its just due. My parents made this entire enterprise possible through their financial support and willingness to chaffeur me. Dr. Merton Dillon patiently listened to me as this work evolved from seminar paper to Master's thesis, and often saved me from despair. Dr. Randolph Roth first acted as second reader to that thesis , then took on the more daunting role of principal advisor as master's thesis evolved into doctoral dissertation. OSU faculty members economist Dr. Richard Steckel and medical historian Dr. John C. Burnham provided crucial help when consulted in their specialties. Randolph Slave descendant Janet C. Martin shared much valuable information with me. 1 V VITA August 12, 1958 .................................................

  • Leviticus 25:1-13 – the Sabbath of Sabbaths
    28.01.18 – Leviticus 25:1-13 – The Sabbath of Sabbaths Snakes and Ladders At home we have this old fashioned Snakes and Ladders board game, complete with a tear down the fold line from countless years of boundless fun and frustration. There is nothing quite like getting a couple of lucky roles and smugly leading the pack, only to end up on snake and suffering the shame of sliding back down the board below everyone else. We often play Snakes and Ladders at the Bible Study we run for the Young Adults around the traps. They think it’s just for fun, but really, it’s a teaching tool. You see, this old fashioned Snakes and Ladders board is complete with moral lessons and consequences for actions – both positive and negative. If you look closely you will see that: Industry leads to Success Indulgence leads to Illness And Indolence leads to Poverty. Eleanor, who was a med student on practicum here in Tauranga last year, said once, ‘surely it’s not just indolence that leads to poverty, but also bad social policy that leads to poverty. We played Snakes and Ladders last Wednesday night and three times I was caught being indolent. I begged to differ, because really, I worked hard to be in the leading position I was in. I rolled sixes and earned extra turns. I was Thrifty which lead to Fulfilment on the 85th square via a shortcut which saved me 44 steps. And then I was accused of being indolent! I had worked hard for my position! We also have this rule where if you land on someone then you jump them back to half their score.

  • United States V. Hodges: Treason, Jury Trials, and the War of 1812
    FOREWORD: Title United States v. Hodges: Treason, Jury Trials, and the War of 1812 Author Jennifer Elisa Smith Document Type Article Publication Date 2016 Keywords Legal history, treason, jury, Justice Gabriel Duvall, War of 1812 Abstract In August 1814 a number of British soldiers were arrested as stragglers or deserters in the town of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Upon learning of the soldiers’ absences the British military took local physician, Dr. William Beanes, and two other residents into custody and threatened to burn Upper Marlboro if the British soldiers were not returned. John Hodges, a local attorney, arranged the soldiers’ return to the British military. For this, Hodges was charged with high treason for “adhering to [the] enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” The resulting jury trial was presided over by Justice Gabriel Duvall, a Supreme Court Justice and Prince Georges County native, and highlights how the crime of treason was viewed in early American culture and the role of the jury as deciders of the facts and the law in early American jurisprudence. Contextually, Hodges’ trial took place against the backdrop of the War of 1812 and was informed by the 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr.

Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

He would often respond to queries as to how he was doing with, Dying sir, dying. Randolph never married, probably due to a genetic disorder known as Klinefelter Syndrome, in which a male has an extra X chromosome, which leads to infertility, impotency, and beardlessness. Some con- tend his long affliction with tuberculosis was the cause. His disorder also left the successful political orator with a well- known high-pitched voice. Despite his feminine-sounding voice, his speeches in Congress were known for their power, which struck fear in the hearts of political opponents. When Randolph entered the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, with spurs jingling and his favorite hounds around him, his hat pulled down to his eyes, and a whip in his hand, the speaker of the House did not dare challenge him. At least not until Randolphs nemesis, Henry Clay, became speaker in 1811, and ordered the dogs out. Randolph opposed Clay over Clays John Randolph’s support of the Bank of the United States, Journey on Slavery high protective tariffs, and the Kentuck- ians advocacy of war with the British. Clay, for his part, led a group of new congressmen in 1811, elected by a wave In a day and a state where slavery was legal and popular, of anger in the Western states at Britains John Randolph, a Virginia congressman and plantation selling of guns to the Indians on the fron- tier.
