  • Raymond's Obelisk by Parker Hills – October 29, 2019
    The obelisk | photo courtesy of Obelisk detail | courtesy of Parker Hills Parker Hills Raymond's Obelisk By Parker Hills – October 29, 2019 For 172 years a gleaming white monolith has marked the grave of a Mississippi rifleman of the Mexican War. It has served double duty as a silent sentinel on the grassy hillside overlooking Raymond’s Confederate Cemetery. In one of the strange coincidences of life, and even death, this alabaster cenotaph has a connection to the soldiers from the next American war, the Civil War, who lie at rest a hundred yards downhill. On the sunrise side of the monument, the gracefully etched eulogy divulges only part of the story: “Malcom McInnis—A volunteer in the 1st Reg. of the Miss. Rifles. He served 12 months in the war with Mexico: returned with the Regiment on the 18th of June, and died on the 20th, A.D. 1847, aged 29 years.” McInnis was one of 991 members of the First Mississippi Infantry—the famed “Mississippi Rifles.” The regiment mustered in Vicksburg in June 1846, and elected United States Congressman Jefferson Davis as its colonel, and the famed duelist, Alexander McClung, as the second in command. The unit traveled to New Orleans and then sailed on July 26, 1846, to a point near the mouth of the Rio Grande for the war with Mexico. With their 1841 Whitney rifles and Bowie knives instead of bayonets, these men defeated Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna’s Mexican lancers at the Battle of Buena Vista on February 23, 1847, assuring a victory for Gen.

Susannah Kearny, was born at Newark, New Jersey, August 30, 1794. He lived in New Jersey until he matricu­ lated in Columbia University in 1809. While here the na­ tional crisis of 1812 brought his natural aptitudes to the forefront. When a call· for volunteers was made for the War of 1812, Kearny enlisted, even though he was only a few weeks away from a Bachelor of Arts degree. In the early part of the war he was captured at the battle of Queenstown. But an exchange of prisoners soon brought him to Boston. Later, for gallantry at Queenstown, he received a captaincy on April 1, 1813. After the Treaty of Ghent the army staff was cut' as much as possible.

    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

  • Charles Ingersoll: the ^Aristocrat As Copperhead
    Charles Ingersoll: The ^Aristocrat as Copperhead HE INGERSOLL FAMILY is one of America's oldest. The first Ingersoll came to America in 1629, just nine years after the T^Mayflower. The first Philadelphia Ingersoll was Jared Inger- soll, who came to the city in 1771 as presiding judge of the King's vice-admiralty court. Previously, he had been the King's colonial agent and stamp master in Connecticut. During the Revolution, Jared remained loyal to the Crown. He stayed in Philadelphia for the first two years of the war, but in 1777, when he and other Tories were forced to leave, he returned to Connecticut, where he lived quietly until his death in 1781.1 Jared's son, Jared, Jr., was the first prominent Philadelphia Inger- soll. He came to Philadelphia with his father in 1771, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1778. Unlike his father, Jared, Jr., wholeheartedly supported the Revolution. Subsequently, he was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a member of the city council, city solicitor, attorney general of Pennsylvania, and United States District Attorney. Politically, he was an ardent Fed- eralist, but politics and affairs of state were never his prime interest; his real interest was the law, and most of his time and energy was devoted to his legal practice.2 Jared, Jr.'s, son, Charles Jared Ingersoll, was probably the most interesting of the Philadelphia Ingersolls. Like his father, grand- father, and most of the succeeding generations of Ingersolls, Charles Jared was a lawyer. He began a practice in Philadelphia in 1802, but devoted much of his time to politics.
