Thank you to our host, Laurie Croft, who planned a lovely sunny day to tour Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello. In wandering through his house and gardens, you certainly began to gain a sense of the man and his strong personality. After a delicious lunch at historic Michie Tavern we then traveled to Laurie’s alma mater, the University of Virginia, for our regular meeting and a tour of the grounds. The University very kindly opened its special collection of Signers memorabilia to the Society, a rare treat for all. We were also shown a replica of the Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration plaque that is to be installed in the room due to Laurie’s diligence. Those who stayed over on Sunday were treated to a tour of the King Family Vineyards, which I am sure Mr. Jefferson himself would have quite enjoyed along with a sip or two of their fine wine. Next spring, Lucy Tonacci will be hosting a very different meeting weekend at Stratford Hall, the home of her ancestor, Signer Richard Henry Lee. A little teaser: You might even meet Mr. Lee himself. It will be a weekend filled with events for children as well as adults. So watch for the notice of this fun-filled weekend of history. It is with great sadness that I must report on the death of Page Laubach Warden, a descendant of Thomas Nelson, Jr. Until the time of her death she was a most interested and ardent supporter of this Society. I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy as well as the Society’s to her family. She will certainly be missed. I shall look forward to welcoming all to Philadelphia on the 4th of July and watching the young bell tappers as they solemnly perform the ritual ringing of the Liberty Bell at 2 p.m. A very special honor indeed for those young people. This year Independence Hall will be carrying the ceremony on the internet via YouTube as well as the local TV stations and print media. As usual, we will be continuing the tradition of having our Annual Congress in the historic Long Room at Independence Hall and listening to the reading of the Declaration of Independence as writ- ten by our noble ancestors, who did truly not only pledge but give their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor to the great cause of Liberty and Justice for all. What a grand legacy that we have been left with as the Society continues its commitment to keeping alive the memory and values of our ancestors. Sincerely, Hope Middleton Wood, President-General 2 Spirit of ’76 Spirit Spring 5-17.qxp_Newsletter 5/3/17 1:08 PM Page 3 Spring 2018 meeting will be at the home of two Signers Nature and history will draw you and your family to the Virginia plantation Stratford Hall April 20-22, 2018. Explore the Great House and stables, kayak on the Potomac, search fossil sharks’ teeth on the beach, grind the gristmill, toast marshmallows at a bonfire, hike the 1,900-acre property and much more. DSDI member Lucy Duke Tonacci invites all DSDI members and their families to this home of her fifth great-grandparents, Thomas and Hannah Lee. Their sons, Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, were the only brothers who signed the Declaration of Independence. They both grew up at Stratford Hall in the 1730s and 1740s. On Saturday evening, we will be entertained by an actor and historian playing Richard Henry Lee. All meals, classes, meetings and a mini-camp are planned at Stratford Hall for you and your family. You may stay at the lux- urious Inn at Stratford Hall or book a cabin for your family. DSDI is holding all of the plantation’s lodging to create a mem- orable weekend.

  • The Frontiers of American Grand Strategy: Settlers, Elites, and the Standing Army in America’S Indian Wars
    THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 11, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Andrew Alden Szarejko All Rights Reserved ii THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Much work on U.S. grand strategy focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If the United States did have a grand strategy before that, IR scholars often pay little attention to it, and when they do, they rarely agree on how best to characterize it. I show that federal political elites generally wanted to expand the territorial reach of the United States and its relative power, but they sought to expand while avoiding war with European powers and Native nations alike. I focus on U.S. wars with Native nations to show how domestic conditions created a disjuncture between the principles and practice of this grand strategy. Indeed, in many of America’s so- called Indian Wars, U.S. settlers were the ones to initiate conflict, and they eventually brought federal officials into wars that the elites would have preferred to avoid. I develop an explanation for settler success and failure in doing so. I focus on the ways that settlers’ two faits accomplis— the act of settling on disputed territory without authorization and the act of initiating violent conflict with Native nations—affected federal decision-making by putting pressure on speculators and local elites to lobby federal officials for military intervention, by causing federal officials to fear that settlers would create their own states or ally with foreign powers, and by eroding the credibility of U.S.

    Charles City County Business Directory County Guide Compiled September 1998 By: Charles City County Department of Planning January 2016 **Please contact the Department of Planning to report any incorrect information** Introduction Charles City County is a quiet, rural haven located in the east-central portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1634, the colonial General Assembly met at Jamestown and divided the Virginia Colony into eight shires, similar to those in England. These were Accomack, Charles River, Henrico, Elizabeth City, James City, Warwick River, Warrosquyoake and Charles City. The Charles City shire was named for the English King's son, Charles, who later became King Charles I. When first established, Charles City comprised a large area on both sides of the James River, but gradually it lost land area to the formation of other counties. Settlement in Charles City County began as early as 1613. Many of the famous estates were patented in these early years. Charles Carter built Shirley Plantation about 1769. It is believed to be the first Virginia plantation. Today the Carter family still owns Shirley Plantation. Benjamin Harrison, IV, built the Berkeley Plantation mansion in 1726. Berkeley was the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Virginia. Berkeley was also the home of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States. John Tyler, tenth President of the United States, purchased Sherwood Forest in 1842. William Byrd, III, a notable Virginia planter, author, and colonial official constructed Westover Plantation about 1730. Evelynton Plantation was originally part of William Byrd's expansive Westover Plantation.

  • Saint Louis Mercantile Library Special Collections - Letters M-002 – Harrison, Benjamin
    Saint Louis Mercantile Library Special Collections - Letters M-002 – Harrison, Benjamin Extended History of Collection M-042 – Harrison, Benjamin Benjamin Harrison (V) (1726-1801) was born on April 5, 1726 at Berkeley Plantation, the eldest son of Benjamin Harrison IV. Berkeley Plantation is still situated on the James River. Benjamin's mother, Ann Carter, was the daughter of Robert “King” Carter whose family like the Harrison’s was a force in Virginia and American politics. In 1748, at the age of 22, Benjamin married his second cousin Elizabeth Bassett, the daughter of William Bassett, from neighboring New Kent County, and a niece of George Washington’s wife Martha. Benjamin attended William and Mary College where he met Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. His classical studies education was cut short after a lightning strike killed his father and two of his sisters at Berkeley on July 12, 1745. At age 19 he returned home and took over managing Berkeley’s 1,000 acre operations including ship building and horse breeding. Eight of the Harrison’s children survived to adulthood. Their most famous son was William Henry Harrison, the American general in the victory over the Indians at Tippecanoe, and who was elected President of the United States in 1840. Their great- grandson, Benjamin Harrison, a Civil War general, was also elected President, in 1888. Harrison’s public service began in the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1749 and continued there for 25 years, sometimes as Speaker. He vehemently opposed the Stamp Act and helped pen the Colony’s protest. By 1772 he was urging that the importation of slaves be curbed and heavily taxed.

  • Remembering and Forgetting an American President: a Landscape History of the Harrison Tomb
    Remembering and Forgetting an American President: A Landscape History of the Harrison Tomb Charles H. Wade Fulton County, Georgia ABSTRACT: In the village of North Bend, Ohio rest the remains of little-known US President William Henry Harrison. After a long and distinguished military and political career and his election as president in 1840, Harrison earned the dubious distinction of the shortest term in presidential history after falling ill and dying after just one month in office. Following his wishes, Harrison was entombed in an inconspicuous crypt on his North Bend property. For decades afterward, the Harrison Tomb suffered from neglect and vandalism, an artifact that deteriorated along with the memory of this obscure president. There were numerous proposals to preserve the tomb, but nothing materialized. Shortly after World War I, new interest in preserving history and heritage arose, and the tomb received professional preservation and a monument. However, the tomb fell into disrepair again for several more decades until the Ohio Historical Society and a local non-profit restored the grounds and added enhancements to create a park and monumental setting in the 1990s. Through a landscape history approach, this paper traces the evolution of the Harrison Tomb from an austere crypt into a memorial landscape. An historical analysis and comparison to other presidential monuments shows an inequality in the way American society remembers its prominent leaders in the cultural landscape and attendant artifacts. I demonstrate that it was the knowledge and awareness of the Harrison Tomb’s landscape and material culture that provided the impetus to restore it and create a monument for President Harrison after he was essentially forgotten.
