W. BUTTERFIELD L'Bfy DOF mtwm &W. CINCINNATI ROBERT CLARKE & CO 1873 1 heeked Entered, according to act of Congress, in the year 1873, By C. W. BUTTERFIELD, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. ; Prefatory. Crawford's campaign was one of the most notable of the distinct military enterprises of the Western Border War of the Revolution. Nevertheless, it has heretofore found but little space upon the page of American History. This, however, is not surprising, when we consider that its most striking incidents occurred within a brief space of time, and beyond the bounds of western civilization. On account of the paucity of authoritative published statements relating to the expedition, I have been com- pelled, from the commencement, to depend, to a consider- able extent, upon authorities in manuscript. Nor can this be regretted, as it has caused the pushing of investigations, whenever practicable, to fountain sources. I have relied upon traditions, only when better testimony was wanting and not even then, without careful consideration and the closest scrutiny. It is believed, therefore, as much relia- bility has been attained as could well be, concerning events transpiring mostly beyond the extreme western frontier of our country during the turbulent period of its struggle for independence.

For well over one hundred years, the Seal of the Supreme Court was simply an embossed image without color. The creator of this Seal is unknown. S In 2009, the Court added color to the Seal and changed the number of the stars in the battle shield from eighteen to thirty-five, representative of West Virginia being the thirty- fifth state. The current Seal of the Court is shown on the opposite page. The faded blue and yellow are not only reflective of West Virginia’s official state colors of blue and gold, but in their less vibrant state suggest the long-standing tradition of the court system. The goddess Dice – the “Goddess of Justice” – sits immovably upon a bluestone bolder, a rock typical in central Appalachia. The boulder itself is on solid ground.

  • 2370 (FORMER) DOLLAR SAVINGS BANK, 2792 Third Avenu
    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 12, 2010, Designation List 425 LP -2370 (FORMER) DOLLAR SAVINGS BANK, 2792 Third Avenue, the Bronx Built 1919; addition 1926; Renwick, Aspinwall & Tucker, architect Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 2307, Lot 54 On December 15, 2009 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Dollar Savings Bank and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The Dollar Savings Bank was founded in 1887 by John Haffen of the prominent Haffen family, which controlled much of the Bronx in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was the first thrift institution to be organized in the Bronx, preceding its competitors by sixteen years. Structured as a mutual savings bank, it was managed for the benefits of the depositors, which assured that most savings would not leave the Bronx. The bank’s early leaders moved quickly to organize development in the Bronx and used the savings deposits to fund improvements in the borough. As the number of accounts increased, the bank’s location in the Haffen building at 2808 Third Avenue was unable to accommodate its rapid growth, and the bank sought new and more spacious quarters. Designed by the renowned firm of Renwick, Aspinwall & Tucker in 1919, the Classical Revival Style, and the free standing bank building illustrate the style adopted by savings institutions during the last decades of the 19th and the first decades of the 20th century.

  • Descendants of Archibald Paul
    Descendants of Archibald Paul Generation No. 1 1. ARCHIBALD1 PAUL was born ca. 1731 in Antrim Co., N. Ireland, and died ca. 1802 in Winnsboro, Fairfield Co., SC. He married AGNES. She was born ca. 1733 in Antrim Co., N. Ireland. Notes for ARCHIBALD PAUL: He died at age 71. Another name for Archibald was PAULL. General Notes: "They Came Through Charleston", by Richard K. MacMaster: Ulster Roots Aug.-Sept., 2002. The South Carolina Assembly passed an act in 1761 to encourage settlers to come to the colony. The colonial government would pay four pounds sterling for the passage of every poor Protestant brought to South Carolina from Europe. The measure was actually a benefit to shipowners who received the bounty for the passengers they carried in their ships. The Charleton firm of John Torrans, John Greg and John Poaug had used their influenceto get the bill passed and were eager to take advantage of it. They alone of Charleston merchants had a network of business associates in Belfast and Londonderry, whom they could set to work sending ships with passengers for South Carolina. All of the ships that carried immigrants from Ulster in the bounty years 1763-1768 were consigned to Torrans,Greg and Poaug. The three merchants petitioned for land, not for themselves, but for the settlers they would bring to South Carolina. In June, 1762, the South Carolina Gazette reported: "We hear that application has been made to his Excellency our Governor, by petition, for two townships, of 20,000 acres each, to be surveyed and reserved for a number of poor Protestants the petitioners engaged to bring over."

  • THE BATTLE of SANDUSKY: JUNE 4-6, 1782 Parker B
    THE BATTLE OF SANDUSKY: JUNE 4-6, 1782 Parker B. Brown preparing his history of Colonel William Crawford's WhenSandusky expedition, Consul Willshire Butterfield confronted both a challenge and a handicap. The challenge he summarized in the preface of his work : "Crawford's campaign was one of the most notable of the distinct military enterprises of the Western Border War of the Revolution. Nevertheless, it has heretofore found but little space upon the page of American History. This, however, is not surprising, when we consider that its most striking incidents occurred within a brief space of time,— and beyond the bounds of western— civilization." The handicap a scarcity of reliable information was equally real: "On account of the paucity of authoritative published statements relating to the expedition, Ihave been compelled, from the commencement, to depend, to a considerable extent, upon authorities inmanuscript. Nor can this be regretted, as it has caused the pushing of investigations, whenever practicable, to fountain sources. Ihave* relied upon traditions, only when better testimony was wanting." Undaunted by the challenge and handicap, Butterfield produced a military history that is still respected. 2 His notebook of "plans and notes" shows his diligence. 3 One page alone lists twenty-five letters Mr. Brown published articles on Crawford's Defeat in the October 1981 and January 1982 issues of the Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine. This article commemorates the two-hundredth anniversary of the battle in June 1782.— Editor 1 C. W. Butterfield, An Historical Account of the Expedition Against Sandusky Under Col.
