  • Chapter 7 Jurisdictions Carved from Territory
    CHAPTER 7 JURISDICTIONS CARVED FROM TERRITORY SOUTH OF THE RIVER OHIO Territory South of the River Ohio - Tennessee In 1790 the State of North Carolina ceded to the United States the area referred to as "a certain district of western territory." Known initially as "the Territory of the United States, south of the river Ohio," it had substantially the same boundaries as the present state of Tennessee. The North Carolina Deed of Cession provided: ... the territory so ceded shall be laid out and formed into a State or States containing a suitable extent of territory; the Inhabitants of which shall enjoy all the privileges, benefits and advantages set forth in the Ordinance of the late Congress for the Government of the Western territory of the United States ... .1 Eighthly, That the laws in force and use in the State of North Carolina at the time of passing this act shall be and continue in full force within the territory hereby ceded, until the same shall be repealed, or otherwise altered by the Legislative authority or the said territory ....2 This stipulation, among the others set out in the Deed of Cession, was accepted by Congress 3 and incorporated by reference in "An Act for the Government of the Territory of the United States, south of the river Ohio," approved May 26, 1790. 4 Thus from the moment of its organization, "the territory . south of the river Ohio" was provided with a complete body of 1.

  • A Man on the Move: William Dubocq (1769-1834)
    A Man on the Move: William Dubocq (1769-1834) This is the story of the French Connection in our family. When Guillaume Dubocq immigrated to Philadelphia with his wife and two young daughters in 1804, they were fleeing the massacres of white Europeans in the French colony of Saint Domingue during the slave rebellion that ended with the independence of the black nation we now call Haiti. But, that wasn’t the end of the story … really it was only the beginning of his travels as he and his family moved about building considerable wealth in a variety of businesses. The last decade of the 18 th century was a difficult time in France … especially for the nobility … and a difficult time in Saint Domingue for anyone whose skin was white. Obviously the discord of the French Revolution and Haitian Slave Rebellion made record-keeping a very secondary endeavor. So we know only bits and pieces about the early lives of Guillaume Dubocq and his wife Marie- Anne Françoise Trochon de Loriére. Guillaume Dubocq was born in Libourne about 1770 to Jean Dubocq and Marie Labatte. This town is near Bordeaux in southwest France. We learned about his parents and his hometown from the 1799 record of his marriage. There he also gives his age as 28, implying a birth year of 1771 … but in an 1834 document he gave his age as 65, implying he was born in 1769. We know nothing about his earlier ancestors, though it is possible that a 25 August 1723 marriage of François Dubosq and Phillipe Michelet recorded in Libourne may be the wedding of his grandparents … since the family name was variously spelled Duboscq, Dubosq, Dubocq, and Duboc.

  • The Vine and Olive Colony: a Cutting of Napoleon’S Empire Grafted Onto American Stock
    The Vine and Olive Colony: A Cutting Of Napoleon's Empire Grafted Onto American Stock General Count Charles Lefebvre-Desnouettes, leader of the Napoleonic exiles at ªEaglevilleº in the ªstate of Marengoº, Alabama, USA an oldfashionedhistoryTM by Bill Kitchens First edition appeared in the June 1999 issue of Early American Life. Copyright 2017, William E. Kitchens The French might well be forgiven letting their fancies escape the grinding reality of Napoleon©s defeat and the restoration of the widely (though not universally) hated Bourbon Monarchy. Paris periodicals and artists© imaginations fed the escapist hunger with fantastic scenes of a far away wilderness paradise where exiled heroes of the Grand Armee labored alongside poets and scholars building a new world on the ideals of Rosseau and the French Revolution; while fair ladies, who would grace an emperor©s court, ministered tenderly to their needs. Cynics no doubt scoffed at the very idea, but such a place did exist ± well, sort of. Perhaps the papers hadn©t gotten all the details quite right, that happens now and then. It wasn©t the "state of Marengo", it was the state of Alabama. But there were scores of soldiers and renowned officers, and poets and scholars, among others of all ranks and occupations. There was an aura, at least, of liberty, equality, and fraternity. And, God knows, there was wilderness, and there was labor. There were even fair ladies, who had once graced the Emperor Napoleon©s court, now going about in their silk ball gowns and satin slippers tending to their menfolk and their children, and their chickens, cattle, and hogs.

PROCEEDINGS IN HUNTSVILLE, 1819 The movement toward statehood in the Alabama Territory, created in 1817 when Mississippi was admitted as a state, formally began in March 1819 with congressional passage of the Enabling Act.

  • Chapter 5 Statehood and Settlement Lesson 1 Becoming a State Mississippi Territory  in 1798, the U.S
    Chapter 5 Statehood and Settlement Lesson 1 Becoming a State Mississippi Territory In 1798, the U.S. Congress created the Mississippi Territory. It included the land in Mississippi and Alabama today. Many new settlers came after wars in the 1800’s. They took land from the Native Americans. Squatter A squatter is a person who settles on land without any right to do so. People hoped this would allow them to own the land when it went up for sale. Land Speculators A land speculator is a person who buys land very cheaply and then sells it for a higher price. Land speculators outside of their office Steps to Statehood The land that is Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory. Mississippi became their own state and the land that is Alabama today became the Alabama territory. William Wyatt Bibb became governor of the Alabama Territory. A legislature was formed in the AL territory. They met in 1818 and discussed the steps Alabama could take to become a state since there were already 60,000 people living in the territory. Steps to Statehood After having 60,000 people, the legislature sent a petition, or request to Congress. Congress approved our petition and passed an enabling act that enabled Alabama to become a state. This enabling act required the Alabama Territory to hold a constitutional convention. Delegates met at the convention and wrote a constitution. We also had to survey and map out Alabama’s land. President Monroe signed the papers and we became a state on December 14, 1819. Steps to Statehood The Alabama Territory governor William Wyatt Bibb becomes the first governor of Alabama.
