That floor and two flights of stairs also gave way sending timbers and men to the second floor. Altogether, it was a three-story fall or about 40 feet.3 Two of the men who lived through the frightening experience gave eye-witness accounts years later. D. N. Ford, a soldier in Capt. B. F. Toomer's Company of the 24th Mississippi Regiment, Walthall's Brigade, had been captured near Lookout Mountain and brought to Nashville. He recalled having had dinner (lunch) the day before but no supper. "When breakfast was announced, 150 men including officers were allowed to go down to eat at one time. I was very hungry, as was the case with all the boys, so about the time we thought the first crowd had finished, I with some 200 of the boys began to crowd around the head of the stairway when all at once about 20 feet of the floor gave way and went crashing down with almost the entire 200. Down we crashed through the fourth third, and landed on the second floor, a conglomerated mass of humanity. Two of the crowd were dead on the floor, one died before he reached the hospital, and about 20 others died 6om injuries received in the fall.

"After I pulled myself out of the pile of men and timber with my ankle broke4 I looked up to see the way we had traveled, and I saw that some of the boys were hanging on to the broken joists that they had caught hold of as the floor gave way. I suppose they were rescued later. I think the two that were dead on the floor fell 6om the fifth floor after we had opened up the way, as they were lying by the edge of the pile. One of John Morgan's men said he didn't mind the fall - it was missing his breakfast that he hated." " Another veteran of the incidenf John A. Templeton of Co. I, 10th Texas Cavalry, commented some 39 years later that he remembered the o-ence as vividly as though it had just happened. He was among five members of his company being held prisoners at the Maxwell House on the day of the calamity. While three of the group went down to eat, Templeton and another man stayed behind to hold their accouments. Templeton recalled: "I loitered around the head of the stairway, and at the time the stairs gave way, I was leaning against the wall of the room around the stairs. Quicker than thought and with a noise almost deafening, we went downward, a conhsed mass of humanity. Fortunately, owing to the fact that I was on the outer edge of the crowd, I fell on top and, with a few others, was rescued before falling entirely to the bottom of the stairs. In the scramble, I lost my hat and requested one of the guards to go with me down another staiway to try and gel either my own or someone else's. This he politely did. On reaching the bottom of the stairs, a sight met my eyes that I shall never forget. Several poor fellows were already laid out dead, while many others were so badly hun they were dying. Some were between the floors and were mashed almost to a jelly." William Hosea Isham, a private in Co. B, 17th Tennessee Infanlry: was standing at the top of the stairs when the crash came. He thought he was falling to certain death but he landed feet fist and found himself standing erect with many dead &d wounded beneath him and piled around him. Out of the 114 who fell with him, he believes he was the only one who went back upstairs. "My survival has always seemed a miracle," he said.' News of the accident spread quickly around the city, and hundreds of persons rushed to the scene. W. C. Collier, who was standing near the building at the time of the collapse, told of seeing Miss Lavhii Taylor who happened to be passing by. He said she stopped and raised her dress, tore off the underskirt, and rushed into the Maxwell House and began administering to the ~ounded.~Mrs. Mary Pope Creighton of Nashville also is said to have taken one of the victims, John Rundell, to her home, passing him off to federal authorities as her own son After she nursed him back to health, he slipped out of Nashville and rejoined his unit south of the city.9

Two of the six who died - Pvt. Lindsey of Alabama and Squire Marston, a civilian from Chattanooga -- were reported to have been killed immediately, and four others died either en route to the hospital or a short time later. On the 1st of October, the prisoners remaining at the barracks were sent by train to Louisville, Ky. From there, some were transferred to Camp Morton in Indianapolis, ind., and others to Camp Douglas, 111.. Twenty-five year old Capt. John S. Lakin of the 89th Ohio's Company C was commander of the barracks. His military records show he was appointed first sergeant 26 Aug 1862 and moved steadily up the ladder, being named captain 25 Feb 1863 -- about seven months before the temible accident. One Nashville newspaper said he was an efficient commander and "in no way to blame for the accident, for he has frequently warned the inmates of the barracks against crowding around the stairways." Nevertheless, the catastrophe apparently had a severe impact on hi.Four months later, he resigned from the Army. Lakin died 13 Apr 1868 in Rushville, Indiana.'O Following is the list of Maxwell House prisoners that was published in the Nashville Press on 20 Sep 1863 and reprinted in Confederare Veteran,Vol. XUI, No. 5, May 1905.11 (Additional information in parentheses or footnotes has been added by the Tennessee Genealogical Magazine where possible.)

After the boundary between the Cherokee Indians and the adjacent colonies was adjusted by the Treaty of Hard Labor in October 1768, many border settlers were tempted to move farther into the great wilderness. William was the first to venture farther into the West to stake his claim, haveling ftom his home in Virginia to the basin where it is believed he had previously hunted with Daniel Boone. The latter had left proof of his havels through this area by an inscription he carved on a giant beech tree on the waters of Boone Creek which read, "D Boon, Cilled a Bar in Year 1760.'$ William cleared a patch of land between the Watauga River and the mouth of a stream on Boone's Creek to build his cabin. The place was wisely chosen. The cabin he constructed was on the side of a ridge hidden from any lndians who might pass by in a canoe along the river. The falls at the mouth of the stream prevented the turning of a canoe out of the river into the creek. The spot also has been described as being beside a small river, where the stream widened and bubbled and made music over the boulders, forming a convenient crossing place, and a scene of wild beauty, Other Virginia family and neighbors soon followed the Beans west, as well as Regulators ftom escaping the tyranny of the royal governor, William Tryon.' The new settlers ftom Virginia included their son, William, Jr., who did not accompany them on their move, and Lydia's brothers, John and George Russell, and George's wife, Elizabeth, who was William's sister. William and Lydia as well as their family and fiiends who had settled in the area were under the impression that they were in Virginia's territorial limits, but a 1772 survey disclosed the adventurous pioneers were actually located on Cherokee hunting ground and beyond the jurisdiction of both Virginia and North Carolina. Not wanting to move back and lose the hard work they had done on their plantations, signed a 10-year lease with the . Soon after the signing, the Wataugans formed the for the purpose of law and order. The organization is believed to have been the fmt political body organized in America ftee and independent of any other government rule. WiBean and George Russell were among the 13 "Commissioners" elected by the association. The Wataugans purchased their land ftorn the Cherokee Nation in 1775, and the foUowing year petitioned North Carolina for recognition of their government, which was termed "Washington Dishict." The No- vember 1777 session of the General Assembly approved the formation of Washington County, assigning it the boundaries of most of present-day Tennessee. In July 1776, the militant Cherokees prepared to attack the illegal settlers of the white communities who had encroached on their hunting ground. The Overhill wanion, who were said to have numbered about 700, planned to separate into three forces and attack the Holston, Nolichuciy, and Watauga sealements. Nancy Ward, the Ghigan or Beloved Woman of the Cherokees, disapproved of killing civilians and was able to warn several settlements in advance of the attacks, giving the pioneen time to defend themselves or flee to the forts for protection. During a luU in the Grst attack on , James Cooper and 12-year old Samuel Moore slipped out of the fort on some harmless mission. They were caught near the mouth of Gap Creek. While attempting to escape across the river, Cooper was shot and scalped. Young Samuel was captured and taken to the tempomy camp of Chief Old Abram on the . It was reported that Lydia was late in leaving her cabin and was captured by a band of braves as she rode on horseback hmher home to the Watauga Fort. She also was taken to the temporary camp. I A white hader who had accompanied the Indians on this campaign served as an interpreter. He told Lydia she I was to be killed and, as he spoke, a wanior cocked his guo and held it in a threatening manner. The chief through the interpreter questioned her as to the mength of the white people and the number of forts. Lydii was not intimidated i and replied in a manner that gave the chief the impression that the settlers were well able to take care of themselves. I i She told him that the settlers had enough guns, powder, and lead to stop any attack, and dcientwater and food to I i last a long time. i I When Old Abram lied the siege, he returned to the Overhill Towns, and took Samuel, Lydia, and two or

Lydia was imprisoned at Toqua, a town near , and Samuel was carried off to , where he was tortured in a barbaric, savage way before being bumed at the stake. Lydia, formally condemned to death, was *en to a mound where an upright stake pole was buried near the center. She was tied to the pole with leather thongs, and then dry tree branches were laid at her feet and lighted. The ftenzied savages were gloating over their chance to sacrifice their second captive. Defeat had whetted their remorse- less appetites. Nancy Ward, having learned of the torture and burning, suddenly appeared. She went on the mound and kicked the burning branches away, stomped out the remaining small flames, and cut the thongs. Nancy then turned to the angered warriors and spoke with harsh words, "It revolts my soul that Cherokee warriors would stoop so low to torture a squaw. No woman shall be tortured or burned at the stake while I am Honored Woman." Nancy led Lydia down ftom the mound through the glaring warriors and took her to Chota. While Lydia was recovering at Nancy's home 6om her injuries, the Indian woman expressed an interest in learning how to make butter and cheese fiom cow's milk. Nancy had acquired a small herd of cows and was eager to interest her people in raising their own meat and fmcrops. Lydia taught Nancy and members of her family how to produce butter and cheese. With wildlife in the forest dwindling and traders' supplies increasing in cosf Lydia also taught Nancy how to set up a loom, spin thread or yarn, and weave cloth. Until this time, the Cherokees were wearing clothing made fiom a combination of animal s!& and lwmed cloth purchased ftom the traders. The skills learned from Lydia had far-reaching consequences on the Cherokees as they became Europeanized in terms of gender roles. The women became housewives and the men became farmers. Wiam, his sons, and his brother-in-law, Capt George Russell, served under Col. Sevier at the Battle of King's Mountain in October 1780. William died in the spring of 1782 and his will was probated in the May session of the Washington County Court. 'Liddy,' as Wimreferred to her in his will, received a Nego girl "Grace," horses, cattle, household - goods, land, and a dlwhich at her death was to go to son Russell. The remainder of the estate was to be divided among their children. Sons William, Robert, and George were designated as executors. The Washington County 1787 tax list shows Lydia as having 400 acres and two black poles. She died before 18 June 1788 in Washington County (now Grainger), and, in accord with William's will, Russell inherited the land and a mill. The Indians Wed two members of Lydia's family after her death Her brother George was killed in the fall of 1796 or early 1797 while on a hunting hip fiom his home on German Creek in Grainger County. Her daughter Jane was struck by an arrow while sitting outside knitting on 24 Nov 1798. Lydia and Wiam's descendants are as plentiful as raindrops down the mountainside. Much has been docu- mented about the courage and independent nature of the ftontiersmen. Only a few lines in the history books refer to Lydia's capture by the Cherokee Indians. She was a pioneer wife, and courage and bravery were expected of her. Perhaps no other woman in Tennessee history better exemplifies the term 'ftontier woman' than Lydia Russell Bean..

His opponenf Patrick Jack, died before the election and Anderson's election was virtually unanimous. In June 1845 when the question of annexation came up in the Texas Congress, Anderson presided over the session despite an illness. When a favorable vote was cast and the Congress adjourned, he left immediately for home. He had gone only 20 miles when his fever flared up and he was forced to stop at the Fanthorp Inn in what was then Grimes County. He died there 3 Jul 1845 and was buried in the Fmthorp Cemetery. In 1846 the town of Fanthorpe was changed to Anderson, and a new county was established and named in his honor..

IN 18Z7~uRYCOUNTY - Columbia Suffers Growing Pains; Residents Call On Legislature To Act

With Columbia, Tenn., suffering 'growing pains' in 1817, its citizens called on the General Assembly for help. Some of the Mawy County town's leading residents submitted a petition asking the legislature to take action similar to that requested by the town of Franklin at the previous session.They pointed out that Columbia's population and growing importance made it "absolutely necessary" to enact laws for regulating the town and should be delayed no longer. The citizens called on the legislature to: (1) appoint James Walker, Edward W. Dale, and Samuel McDoweU justices of the peace; (2) increase stock in the state bank to allow establishment of a branch bank in Columbia; or (3) issue a charter for a bank on the town's own strength, using the nearly $20,000 in proceeds from the sale of town lots after tirst applying some of the funds to building a bridge across the Duck River opposite Columbia and keeping public buildings in repair. Signers of the petition were: J. J. Aldemon, P. R. Booker, George Breckenridge, John Britelman, A- Brown, Thomas Brown, V. M. CardweU, Sam'l carruthers, P. Cheatham, J. Cherry, Samuel Craig, Wiam Craig, D. Craighead, Edw. W. Dale, Benoni Dickey, John H. Estes, Jos. Ewhg, W. James Frierson, Wiim Frierson, A. C. Hays, M. Helm, W. A. Rill, A. Lain; J. M. Lewis, Edw. B.

Mix, bounded from New Orleans to Cincinnati, take great pleasure in stating the following facts as they came under our immediate observation: "On the morning of the 16th inst. about 9 o'clock we were haiIed by seven persons on the beach of the Mississippi just above Island 65 to which signal Capt. Mix responded by sending his small boat on shore to take them in. When they arrived on board, they proved to be seven Germans consisting of five men and two women who (after being interrogated by one on board who spoke the German language fluently) narrated their piteous [experience?] and their distress to the Captain. He to his immortal credit immediately rounded to and proceeded to the point designated by the Germans (being by this time several miles above the point where the seven were taken in) in search of the remainder of the unfortunate persons. After having arrived at the point designated, he fired several signal guns and waited a considerable time in hopes of being able to hear something of the unfortunate people. But to his great regret, he was compelled to leave without having it in his power to afford that relief of which he would have been proud. "Would we be going too far or saying too much when we, with one accord, give utterance to the fact that Capt. Mix gave the strongest evidence upon this heart-rendering occasion that he possessed a heart embodying within itself all those noble and generous feelings which characterize a high-minded and honorable man and worthy model to command an Empress!

R Davidson A. Pettibone R Walker W. F. Larkin S. W. Case M. Casey S. Jones W. F. Corbin Z. Shepperd John Anderson B. Gray, Jr. E. Frean T. Herren A. Harny." The Eagle reported that, in corroboration of the above, Mr. E. H. Sheppard, who was on the Independence bound for Memphis, also was induced to leave the boat with a mule and he, too, went to the point where the Captain told him he would take them on board again and even chased the boat seven miles on shore, but to no avail. The paper concluded: "What has become of the poor German emigrants, no one knows. Wholly ignorant of the counhy; they doubtless wandered into the wilderness in hopes of finding settlements; and that many of them have perished with stanration and cold, there can be but little doubt. The Independence is a slow miserable boat and we were at the river Tuesday evening when she arrived at this place. She had on board a great many Germans who were huddling around the butcher's block buying meat as if really famished and attracted great notice for their eagerness to get food; we did not then know of their condition." In a few weeks, Capt. O'Harra contacted the paper after having seen the article. The Eagle reported 30 Jan 1846 that O'Aarra had published a statement "entirely to our satisfaction," vindicating himself from all charges made against him and that a passenger on board corroborated the vindication in a published statement. [Unfortunately, two issues of the paper are missing fiom the microfilm and the statements of O'Hara and his corroborating passenger must have been in one of them.] In its 30 Jan accounf The Eagle said the Germans who signed the charge against the captain had been "ignorantly led" as to inhuman conduct on Capt. O'Harra's part and further adds: "The Captain states that he did lond sonre I00 Germans on the lower end of the Island and all ofthenr - ,vith the exception ofthefeu, who signed the statenrent sent to usfor publication - were token on baard his boat again at the upper end ofthe island. These few - insteod ofpassing to the head ofthe island with the others - did not do so and were consequently lefr and supposing the others had ~tlanderedoffinto the ~vildernesstofreeze and stanv published the statenrent denouncing the captain. O'Harra also said that neither Sheppard nor his jackoss were passengers on the boat. " The story doesn't end there, however. On 5 Feb, The Eagle did an about-face following a visit from Sheppard himself and ran this statement: "No gentlen~anstands higher for unimpeachable veracity and uprightness tlian Egberi H. Sheppord, Esq., ofHaywood County. He is known by hundreds ofMemphis citizens and ... having had an intervie~swith Mr. Sheppord, we are now sati.sJed that cap^ O'Horra is not asfreefronr the charges alleged against him as we had supposed ... " The paper reported that Sheppard was in the process of getting certificates fiom passengers on board The Independence showing that O'Harra did behave very badly toward his passengers and had told several falsehoods in his statement. Whether Sheppard obtained the certificates is not known, but apparently those involved decided to let the matter drop. No further stories on the subject were found in The Eagle..

'Twas the first day of the census, and all through the land, They spoke of employmenf of schooling and such, Each pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. They could read and write some, but really not much.

The woman seemed tired, with lines on her face, Now picture a time warp ... it's now you and me, And wisps of brown hair tucked back into place. As we search for the people on our family tree.

She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; If they knew, would they wonder at the yearnings we feel, His sister, she whspered, was napping in bed. And the searching that makes them so lovingly real?

She noted each person who lived there with pride, Would they understand our efforts, our smuggles, And she felt the fmt stirrings of the wee one inside. To reach back to touch them because they are ours?

The certificate program was originated by The Tennessee Genealogical Society in 1986. The first such program in the state, it honors settlers who came to Tennessee from the first settiement in 1769 through the year 1880. Certificates of ancestry are issued to descendants who provide documentary proof of their ancestors' residency at any time during that period in the area that is now Tennessee.

If you want to place your Tennessee ancestors in this roll of honor, write TGS today for an application form. FiU it out and return with suppodg documents relating to your prime ancester's Tennessee residency and tracing his descendants down to the present. Each application must be accompanied by a $10 fee. Hand-lettered ancestry certificates suitable for framing will be issued each person whose application meets program qualifications.
