"It appealed to me rvt deceived that man under those circunstances for anything," Voider, at his request, was escorted through much of the Ctonfederate army, and after considering the situation silently for several minutes he maoe up his mind. "Vfell, it seems to me General Buckner, that I ought to surrenc!sr<," But Buckner was by now thoroughly enmeshed in this most unusual affair. "Wait," he said, • .if you have information that would in duce you to think that the sacrifice of every man at this place v^ould give your army an advantage elsewhere, it is your duty to do ^.t,'' VJilder pondered agadn, then concluded that he possessed no such infor mation, "I believe I will surrender," he sai.d, and he did so on Sept ember 17, giving up just over 4,000 officers and men. Buell v;as by then at Cave City and moving to Munfordville, and Bragg tried to entice him into attacking the Confederates in a strong position there, Buell refused the bait, and Bragg then moved aside to Bardstoen to meet Kirby Smith, and Buell was left free to march into Louisville, After considerable miuieuvering, the battle of Ferryville was fought on October 8, Bragg was not defeated, but he then decided to leave the state which had disappointed him by fai.ling to rise to the Confederate cause. He retreated through Cumberland Gap, not^ through the gateway vjhich he had entered vrf.th such high expectations. Bragg wrote his wife in bitter terms: "VJhy then should I stay ivith my handful of brave southern men to fight for cowards. . •?" In return, Kentuckians in the Confederate army probably hated Bragg more than any other Southern General. Morgan received permission to slash through the Bluegiass to dam age Buell's supply lines and then seek safety by returning through western Kentucky, He went b^l^ ^xington, reached Elizabethto~*-n by October 20, crossed the Green River at Morgantown two days later, and rested at Hopkinsville, the pursuit having ended. On Novciaber 1 he crossed into Tennessee.

THE PATTQNS OF DONEGAL By Patricia Burton, PO Box 742 Troy, Michigan 48084 How does an Aiaericain go about looking for information about a long dead Irish-born brother and sister? Perhaps my methods were not of tne standard form, but, within a very short space of time they were most successful, chiefly due to the assistance I received along the It v;as the morning of April 11th of this year when I Shannon Airport (Ireland). I was seeking the home of a James and his sister, Elizabeth (Mrs John Preston), which had been no the 17th century as "Springfield." c + Some time earlierp their great grandfather had come from co land to settle at "Croghan" in 1626. By 1688, his grandson r-n y ton, had acquired the estate known as "Springfield." This ' home of James and Elizabeth, along with several brothers an sxs • All I really knew was that the two homes v/ere located wxthxn century boundaries of the Barony of icilmacrenan. ^ V^y were James and Elizabeth Patton important to an torian in 1974? The answer was the lOOth running of tucky Derby on May 4th. For, it v;as James Patton, back ' «h-tla had brought the first Thoroughbred to /jaerica - "Bulle ^ ^o^t his sister's four daughters became the "mothers" of Ken^uc y s m famous families. . wortz- The day after my arrival at Shannon I set off in my i r*«ia rented "Avenger,- with my tape recorder, a supply of canne o ~arid a hop^ that vriLthin tv;o vjeeks X'would rj.nd--some ansv/ers aa early life of the tvjo Pattons. . . Not too far from Shannon, I came across a large sign on v/ay "Dromoland Castle-Vtelcome." That was really the went in, intending to merely look around. I ended up night in the castle-hotel owned by West Virginian Bernar c on $ which had the American flag flying from one of its turrets. The green-uniformed porter very kindly showed me aroun ' introduced me to Mrs Casey, who ran the gift shop. She prove from Pompano Beach, Florida. in VJhen I appeared in the lobby the following morning, the formed me that "Danny" who worked in the tap-room was from . gal and had some information for me, along with a map. "Danny poi out the small spot marked Kilmacrcnan. "There isn't much had better plan on staying at Letterkenny, where they have a o c^, he advised me. That was Saturday. ^ . By Sunday afternoon I was a registered guest of the Ba Hotel at Lettprkanny, and had met Miss Deborah Diggins, hostess or their dining-room, "Are you over here on a holiday?' she asked. u ^ "Not really," I told her. "I'm doing historical research for o American Revolution Aiid T nm looking for the ear y ome o£ the Patton family. Have you ever heard of any Pattons living aroun ICilmacrenam? * She shook her head, "No, I'm not from around here." Then, moments later, she was back at my table, coming from the ection of the kitchen. She had a map in her hand. "This might be o help. You may keep it if you like. Also, some of the people out xn the kitchen tell me that there are Pattons still living over at Ki ma- crenan. That's not very far from here, you know, just a few miles. I thanked her. And, as the sun vjas still high, I got into t e little Avenger and headed for Kilmacrenan. It was tiny, scarcely more than a cross-roads. As it was Eas er, the streets v;ere barren of residents. I ended up returning to the Ballyraine Hotel for the night. Monday morning I headed back once more. This was now Aprxl $ my fifth day in Ireland. . I stopped just before the bridge, got out of the car to stre c and finish my morning Coca-Cola. As I v/as standing there, a man passs by, "Pardon me," I said, "but could you please tell me if there are any members of the Patton family living here?", "Aye," he replied, "that there are. That's Willie Patton s just beyond the bridge, sind that's Willie Patton coming out hxs ro.^ gate." By the time I climbed back into the little car and got xt xn gea , Mr.Patton had crossed the road and headed up towards the church. "Mr. Patton," I called as I stepped the car in the church-yard, '*Mr, Patton, v/ould you please wait a mor.ent?" , Somewhat surprised, he came back dovjn the hill# and I exp axne vdio I vjas a^ what I was seeking, He listened intently, but then shook his head. "No, I ^ of any 'Croghan' or 'Springfield' We got this land from the enure an I am afriad I can't help you." Then, thinking for a moment, he ad e : "We night go up to see Mrs. Orchard at the Presbyterian Manse, is an old Bible up there which they found in their attic. It mxg e of some help." Mr. Patton got into the car and we drove on up the hill, out to open the gate and then motioned me to drive on into a wxn xng driveway vjhich was bordered with a profusion of bright spring owers. It was there that I met Mr. and Mrs. Robert Orchard, the resx- dents. They were both exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hov;ever, s old Bible proved useless for my search. It had no dates on the ® covers. I ran off the names of the places I was seeking-"Crog an, "Springfield" and "Clonmell Castle." ^ "Are you sure it's not 'Springvale' you are looking for? as-e Mrs. Orchard. "I know where that is." . j „ I shook my head- No, I was sure is was "Springfield." By this tine we had Miss Diggins' map spread over tha oor an we were all down on our hands aiK3 knees, pouring over the names on xt. Several moments passed, ajid it seemed fruitless. Then Mrs- OrohAxvi "T hnvo hoard oJ! a. p3Ace ca.llea 'Springfield' but it's not in this section. It's wg.y up past MilXford arid around Mulroy Bay. There is a little store up there and the woman who runs it can tell you how to find 'Springfield,' But I believe the old house was recently torn down. Only the foundation is left and some of the out-buildings." She indicated a small cpot on the map. I mark ed with my pen. Then, looking just above it, there, on the map, was marked "Crogh- an Ho." I knew I was on the right trackJ Tuesday, April 16, my sixth day in Ireland, I headed up through Millford and bordered the beautiful Mulroy Bay, finally coming to a small place called "Tavmey" (Tamney), Just as Mrs. Orchard had said, I found the small filling station and went in, "I'm looking for some information," I told the lady behind the counter, "about an old place called 'Croghan' and another, 'Springfield. Somewhat surprised, she asked, "Are you sure it's Croghan you're looking for? That's quite an old place." "Like 1626?" I smiled. "That's the one," she said, "My husband ov.'^is it!" Then, she add- ed, "You irvill find 'Springfield'on the other side of the road. But the person you should really see first is Mrs. Borland who lives right up there," she pointed to the other side of the store building. "She has been working on this history for some time and can tell you what you want to know." I began jotting down some quick notes. And her name? It was Mrs, John Shiels. I found Mrs. Borland, and it turned out that I was not a stranger to her. Back in January the "Donegal People's Press" in Sligo had run an article telling that cui American hisjfcorian was coming to Ireland in the i3pring. So, novj I v/as there in Mrs. Borland's room, just down the road from the sites of "Croghan" and "Springfield." Before long we were in my little car, heading down the road, vHth Mrs, Borland's son in the back seat, Vfe v/ent to "Croghan" first. The old gatehouse is still intact. Remains of the former driveway can be seen, with their entrance posts loug covered over vath turf and vines. One wall of the original houce stands, as part of the latter-day building now occupying the site. ^ The view from the front lawn v/as beautiful. Rolling fields in the j-oreground. Beautiful Mulroy Bay beyond. Great patches of yellow daffodils. And, in the back, the mountains. So this v;as where William Patton from Scotland had settled in 1626! Here he had raised his family. And, somswhere along the line, here had b«en born Margaret Patton v;hose grandsons vrould fight, and one ivould die, at the historic Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. Leaving there, we passed by the Fsinad Glebo House, also built in 1626, It is in an amazing state of survival, now owned by a fairtily from America. Just past there, we turned to the left. A short distance, we tur- ned left again, into a long driveway. "This is the entrance to Spring field," Mrs. Borland told roe. We circled around a drive behind a new- er house where a lady was standing in the yard. She waved. This was Miss Kerr. She and her brother now owned the old plantation. The original house had been torn down just six yoars before when it bec?rjne a hazard due to its condition. It had contained sixteen rooms. Miss Kerr told us. Parts of the cellar were still several of the old out-buildings were still there as well as ions of the old walls which had surrounded it. ^ I snapped picture after picture. Then, we went xnto talked for a time vdth Miss Kerr while she prepared the noon- ay m for herbbrother and two young men who were working on the p ace. When we returned to Mrs. Borland»s she brought out ^ torical book which she had prepared on the local area. It top prize a year or so before. For me, it was a source o in pa+t_ for she had done one part on "Springfield." It told of ow on had leased his property to a John Dill at the time Fa^^ on settle in Virginia. Later, Dill purchased "Springfield. There were also pictures of "Springfield" as it had been prime and another, as it fell into partial decay. t 4n turn Mrs. Boland turned over her work for me to make notes, , - ? gave her some that I had brought with me. For some time ere silence as vie both sat writing. ^,,crv For me, I now had concrete proof of the early ccm- affluent life - that the Pattons had lived in this country be ing to settle on the Virginia wilds. For Mrs. knowledge of what happened to the Pattons after they ha e P field," something she had never known before. Kai-w nn On Thursday I returned. Mrs. Borland was away, so I we „ ^ ^t^en to "Sormgflelo, TO xne nomes oy myseif. rirst tO s."- it where the Kerr's were also absent. After taking itiore pi- , I sat for a time in the driveway, mulling over the fates o and sister who had left this home so long ago. James Patton? He had brought that first Thoroughbred to in 1730 and later had settled on the Virginia frontier. til 1755, when he was killed by a band of Shawnee Indians " tier, he had been the most powerful man in Augusta County, In 1745, he laid off the first road down the Valley,of Virginia.^ that same road is known as Interstate^-Sl, one of our great super highways. - By 1753, Patton was serving as County-Lieutenant, Comman Militia, President of the Augusta Court, President of the ^uS^ta V - try and the Commissioners of Tinkling Springs Presbyterian^ ong g County Coroner, County Escheator and County Customs Collec-or. Two years later he was dead, leaving two daughters, as grandchildren. His wife had died earlier, in 1748, and was burie a Tinkling Springs Cemetery. _ . ,, His vast estates in America included "Springhill," "Springfield, "CJierry Tree Bottom," and "Indian Fields." The latter place v/as m to his beloved grandson, James Thompson, who built a home upon this a r land, naming it "Kilmacrenan," in honor of his grandfather^s home-.an . To-day, that house still stands in Tazewell County, Virginia. James Patton's great, great grandson, John Buchanan Kioyd, would become Secretary of War of the Unites States in 1856- ^ Elizabeth Patton? Against her parent's wishes, she had marrxed a obscure ship's carpenter from Londonderry, named John Preston. Four of their children were born in Ireland and a fifth in Virginia. T e girls all married and went to Kentucky, founding the famed Bi-ec ^nrxG;,e Bro\7n, Smith and Howard families. William Preston, the came a key figure on the frontier. To-day his home at "winit at Blacksburg, Virginia, is open to the public. Ironically, it xs xn this same area that his uncle.

Tribute of Respect by Stocktons Valley Baptxst Nemory of P-1 d^r JOSEPH C PENTON, DEARLY BEL0';ED BRETHREnT"^ have no" the gratitude d.c i:ror. us to our Heavenly Father for span g 17 o:^ the brethren, and especially the lives of our ministers during our aGcociational year; yet the silent boatman has dipped his oarr into the dark river and stealthily moored his vessel to earthly shore for a few moments and removed one of our beloved and trusted sentinei.i.s from his high place in Zion. Scarcely had the pleasures and labors of our last annual meeting ended when the sad intelligence passed throughout our bounds that our beloved brother Elder Joseph C Denton was dead, and we feel that hia long life of usefulness secured for him the confidence of our entire brotherhood and entitles him to a memorial page upon the Association book and the book of the Baptist Church at Clear Fork, Clinton Coun^-yj Kentucky, which he Joined in the beginning of his religious life in vjhich he enjoyed uninterrupted fellov/ship and served as a Deacon, then as Pastor till death - and that his faithfulness entitles him to more thain a passing notice. Elder Joseph C Denton was born May 5 1811; professed hope m Christ in 1838, and on the fourth Saturday in December he was approve for baptism; on Sunday morning was buried in baptism by Elder WA Coo per, On the fourth Saturday in September 1842 ordained Deacon ^ " dres Isaac Denton and William D Sewell; liberated to preach the fourth Saturday in September 1850; ordained to the full work of the mxna-. .y on the 23rd day of October 1853 by Eldres WA Cooper, James Abston, and R K Dick. He succeeded his father in the pastoral care of the churcn at Clear Fork, whose ministry reached back to preaching the first sermon in this part of the country, and gathered up the material which was organized into the church, and was its first and only Pastor *5°^ organization in 1793 to his death, coveri^ng a more tnan .i-.ty years. The subject of our memoir continued to his deatli, wh^ch occ urred on the 29th day of September 1887, aged 76 years, 4 months, and 11 days. This period, covering well nigh ninety years, was attcn e with great blessings; many revivals have succeeded, and the church has exercised a large influence throughout its existence upon the polity of Stockton Valley Baptist Association. . • ^ • Under the ministry of father and son the church, the churcn ^Gcex- ved its lessons in the principles of the doctrine of Christ, and has r risen to colossal proportions among her sister churches, which c hi. i ed the teachings of both of its pastors, and, of late years, especially of Brother JC Denton. His labors vjere not confined to his own church but reached throug hout a large portion of our associational body. But not only in Uio labors in the ministry, but in his every day walk of life, he shone with untarnished lustre in deeds of mercy and usefulness among his neighbors, his brethren, and in his family. His feelings were as ten der a a babe, yot he stood v/ith the firmness of a granite clij- en r.vible princ^^jiei v;ere at issue. He planted hiaself only upon the trut.i, Witli breast bared to the storm, and amidst the tecjpest, rose^hignor aix.. rhone brighter, and still possessed charity and broad libera-.-i'y or ^ all. In the confiision w£vr, ivhen aronsrost o£ meii trenbled v/itn 18 and all men's hearts failed them, Brother Denton exhibited the same unfailing confidence, the same calmness, the same words of en couragement to all as in times of profound peace - faithful to gently reprove the faults of a friend, or to apologize for an enemy. Hii^ sweet temper possessed a magnetism to attract the disaffected, and gave to him almost a resistless influence in reconciliation of diff erences between brethren or neighbors. He was a man of faith unfeigned, living a life of prayer, whence he drew his great strength and influence. In prayer he seemed to ob tain a nearness to the throne seldom given to men - then he seemed to breathe the atmosphere of Heaven and his heart to glov/ with a warmth of love that encircled the entire number of fallen men. In the pulpit he possessed a native eloquence that entitled hxm to be called the "sweet tongued" Denton. His theme was the cross of Chr-^ ist, the cleansing blood of Jesus. I'iELth these he sought to win sin ners to the Saviour's love, and which seldom left the hearts of his hearers unmoved. But the labors of love with him have ended *'ajid his words follov; him", Vfe believe that our loss is his gaJ.n, hence we ought to submit to the will of our Father in Heaven, who called his child, our brother, from labor to the rest of the good, and bind us more strongly together in the bonds of unbroken brotherhood. Our brother, we are grieved for thee; thy love for us surpassed that of vromen. His life is a testiL- monial to the living of an abundant entrance into the Heavenly rest- being administered to him. Nearly at death's door he exclaimed '-Oh, hov7 bright!" His last ivords: "May the Lord bless and save you all, is my prayer. Amen," Then he entered into that sweet "sleep from which none ever v/ake to weep.'L . While we pay this last tribute to his memory we would shed tears of sympathy and Christian condolence vri.th his grief-smitten vn.dow.
