  • William Croghan, Sr
    WILLIAM CROGHAN, SR. [1752-1822]: A PIONEER KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN BY SAMUEL W. THOMAS, PH.D. Louisville, Kentucky By 1790, William Croghan was prepared to build his country seat. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, an accomplished surveyor, a rising entrepreneur, and within the year would become a father. The home he constructed a few miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, now on Blankenbaker Lane, withstood the test of time and in 1961 was purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the County of Jefferson. It has been restored by Jefferson County and Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. of Louisville to preserve and demonstrate a way of life led by a prominent pioneer Kentucky family and to serve as a fitting memorial to the home's most illustrious occupant, George Rogers Clark [1752-1818].1 William Croghan married General Clark's sister, Lucy Clark [1765-1838] in 1789 and the retired western military leader came to live permanently at the Croghan home, Locust Grove, in 1809. This paper is the result of the research program undertaken for the restoration of Locust Grove. The author wishes to thank Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. for its most generous support of the project. The land for Major Croghan's country seat was purchased on April 10, 1790, from a fellow surveyor, Hancock Lee [ca. 1736-1820]. The 387-acre tract near the fails of the Ohio River had been part of Colonel William Peachy's [1729-1802] 1,000-acre military land grant and its purchase cost 341 pounds.2 While the Georgian brick house was under construction, the family maintained a log cabin.

  • The Evolution of James Madison and Alexander Hamilton's Rivalry And
    The Evolution of James Madison and Alexander Hamilton’s Rivalry and the Founding of America’s First Party Faction Megan Yang Many national heroes arose from the rubble of the Revolutionary War, but only one was deemed noble enough to lead the new republic: George Washington. Throughout his presidency, Washington strove to preserve a sense of unity and agreement amongst the citizens of a young America, stating in his Farewell Address, “To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a government for the whole is indispens- a b l e .” 1 This sense of concern for the future of the state was palpable throughout the nation’s new capital in the mid-1790s, following the first official division within Washington’s own cabinet. “In every political society, parties are unavoidable,” wrote James Madi- son in an essay for the National Gazette.2 Even in the earliest days of our country, extreme political polarization played a significant role in determining America’s future, whether it was considering King George’s right to levy taxes on the colonists or the constitutionality of raising a national bank. However, no political division has proven so infamous and highly debated as Madison’s 1792 co-founding of Amer- ica’s first official party faction: the Republican Party. This was the year that Madison seemingly abandoned long-time ally and co-author of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, by becoming a proponent of pacifism and state rights. By doing this, many historians and even his contemporaries, including Hamilton, argue that Madison too easily deserted his own principles for those of a more liberal Thomas Jeffer- son.

  • Hamilton: an American Elitist
    ENGEL Hamilton: An American Elitist AMANDA ENGEL An unexpected cultural phenomenon, Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical brought Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton back into the public eye over 200 years after his death. This paper inquires as to whether Hamilton accurately depicts the political beliefs of its titular character. It also explores the ways in which Hamilton can help us understand the relationship between individuals, social power, and our conceptualizations of the past. In doing so, it concludes that the show fails to address the elitist ideas that saturated Hamilton’s political theory. Consequently, it argues that Hamilton projects contemporary values onto a historical figure and supports the highly contentious Great Man Theory of History. Alexander Hamilton is making a comeback. Slandered both in life and centuries after death, Hamilton’s work has been, at best, relatively unappreciated by the public and, at worst, caricatured and demonized by Thomas Jefferson and his admirers.1 But everything changed when lyricist, composer, and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda began dazzling Broadway audiences with Hamilton: An American Musical in 2015. A celebration of Hamilton’s life, the show was highly praised for its cast of non-white actors and its unique musical style, which combines rap, hip-hop, R&B, and traditional showtunes. Hamilton’s cultural impact was significant; it quickly earned a level of mainstream recognition that was unheard of for a Broadway musical. The show has arguably become the most popular and accessible means of learning about Hamilton and by extension, perhaps, the era in which he lived. As such, we have to wonder: Is Hamilton really the revolution we think it is? This paper will consider the following questions: Does Hamilton: An American Musical offer a fair and comprehensive depiction of Alexander Hamilton’s politics? What does its portrayal of 1 Stephen F.

  • Virginia: Edward Carrington
    Virginia: Edward Carrington Like the majority of his colleagues in the U.S. Marshal Service, Edward Carrington was active in local politics and was a veteran of the American Revolution. Born in Cumberland County, VA on February 11, 1748, Carrington worked as a lawyer, gentleman planter, and a local politician before the American Revolution began.134 In 1775, he became a member of the Goochland County Revolutionary Committee and when the Continental Army accepted the Virginia artillery unit in March 1776, Carrington was one of the unit’s lieutenants. Almost a year and a half after the battles of Lexington and Concord, Carrington joined the First Continental Artillery as a lieutenant colonel and participated in the battles of Monmouth Courthouse (June 28, 1778), Hobkirk's Hill (April 25, 1781) and the siege of Yorktown (September 28–October 19, 1781) among a host of other battles.135 136 Additionally, Carrington served as General Nathaniel Greene’s Chief of the Quartermaster Department during Greene’s Southern Campaign of 1781 and after the siege of Yorktown through the end of the war (September 3, 1783).137 After the American Revolution, Carrington initially returned to his private life as a lawyer and manger of his estates, but returned to public service as a Virginian delegate to the Continental Congress from 1786-1788.138 139 Because of his long and honorable history of public service, and because they had become such close friends and confidants, President Washington appointed Carrington as the first U.S. marshal for Virginia in September 1789. As such, Carrington was charged with the monumental task of ensuring that his 68 deputies counted Virginia’s population in a timely manner.140 Unfortunately, the 1790 Census schedule for Virginia was destroyed when the British burned Washington D.C.

It is the family iof General Jonathan Clark, elder brother of the Conquerer of the Northwest, which is here set forth.1 None of. the previously published accounts of this branch has covered the descendants thoroughly or in sufficient detail. While no genealogical record can be complete in all its parts, it is hoped that this article will bring forth from interested persons additions,and corrections which will be included in the later installments or will be filed in the archives of The Filson Club. In The Filson Club History Quarterly of January, 1935 (Volume 9, No. 1, pages 1-34), Mr. R. C. Ballard Thruston pub­ lished an article entitled "Some Recent Finds Regarding the Ancestry of General George Rogers Clark. "2 Searchers of the Clark ancestry are referred to it. The consideration of the ·present account begins with John Clark, father of Generals Jonathan and George Rogers Clark. JoHN CLARK, son of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Wilson) Clark~ was born 9 October (O.S.) 1725 in King and Queen County, Virginia, and died in August, 1799, at "Mulberry Hill," Jeff~~­ son County, Kentucky.
