.a'hose who have made a study of my book, the "Hume, Kennedy, Brockman and Allied Families," can well appreciate the need for this revised edi­ tion. Ever since the "first book appeared in print I have had a strong desire to correct a few of the most glaring inaccuracies-not that this edition is entirely free from errors, but I have tried hard to make each statement authoritative and when pos­ sible quoted its source. Without the assistance of Dr. Erskine Hume, Mrs. Linda Kennedy Wine, Dr. John R. Hume, author of the "Hume Family" (1903), Mrs. Thomas W. Cooke and others, this volume would not have appeared. If you feel ap­ preciative please thank these men and women who have really been responsible for the actual work of gathering records and reading proof. I have acted largely as a, Clearing house and except for the expenditure of some fifteen hundred dollars on the work, have done very little else. Respectfully submitted, W. E.

I IUME OF WEDDERBURN

INTRODUCTION TO HUME FAMILY

Of the family of Dunbar, from which the Humes sprang, Douglas, in his !'Peerage of Scotland," remarks: "No sur­ name in Scotland can boast of a more noble origin than that of Dunbar, being descended from the Saxon Kings of England and the Princes and Earls of Northumberland. The family has furnished Earls of Northumberland, Dunbar, March, Marchmont, Hume and Zetland; Viscounts of Blasonberrie and Melville; Barons Melrose, Hume, Polwarth, Redbraies, Greenlaw, Dunglas and Dundas; Baronets, Knights of the Garter and Thistle, Privy Counselors, Ambassadors, Envoys, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, Judge Archbishops and Bishops, Joint Regents of Scotland; Duchess of Lauderdale, Countess of Dunbar, Douglass, two of Crawford, Moray, Sutherland, Huntley, Fitzwilliam, Suffolk, Ely, Findlater, Arran, Marshall, Hume, Stair and Bute; Viscountess Dun­ can; Baroness Dalkeith, Seton, Crichton, Torpichen, Ers­ kine, Polwarth, Bagany and Lovat.'' The Humes are the eldest cadets of the family of Dunbar, the main line of which is now extinct. Hume Castle is one of the most conspicuous forts in the Merse. This ancient stronghold, erected on an eminence which overlooks all sur­ rounding country, kept its eye, as it were, not only over the neighboring lands, but also on the seacoast and across the Tweed into England for a long distance, and seemed to indi­ cate that it was sentinel for interests far and wide. Here, for long, was the residence of the main line of the Hume ( or Home) family, which early rose to eminence in the polit­ ical life of Scotland, being ennobled as Lords, and afterwards as Earls of Hume. It is still represented in the main line by the present Earl of Hume. , The Humes of Wedderburn are the eldest cadets of the family of Hume. They may also be said to be more prolific, more so even than the parent stem, both in offshoots and in honors. Among their descendants are to be enumerated the 8 THE HUME FAMILY

Humes of Polwarth, ennobled first as Lords of Polwarth in 1690, and as Earls of Marchmont in 1697; the Humes of Manderston, of whom a younger son, George Hume of Spot, sometime Treasurer of Scotland, was ennobled as Lord Berwick, and afterwards as Earl of Dunbar (the ancient line of these Earls being extinct) ; while two of his daugh­ ters and heiresses, the elder, Anne, was mother of the Third Earl of Hume, and the younger, Elizabeth, was wife of Theo­ pilus Howard, Lord Walden, afterwards second Earl of Suf­ folk. From Wedderburn also descended the Humes of Black­ adder, Baronets of Nova Scotia, from whom Sir David Hume, Lord Crossrig, is derived; also Sir John Hume of Renton, Lord Justice Clerk, in the reign of King Charles II; the Humes of Castle Hume, in Ireland, and other families of distinction and note. In America the family has fur­ nished officers in every war fought by the Colonies or by the United States. For centuries the Humes of Wedderburn were one of the most dominant families of the Merse. Scions of a war­ like house and posted on the border as if for the very pur­ pose of guarding the "in country" against the incursions of the "auld inimies of England," they were ever ready to venture their lives in the fray, and indeed they had their full share of the fights and forays of the border strife of old. Few of the older Lairds are known to have had any other death-bed than the battlefield, and their first funeral shroud was generally the banner under which they led their retainers to the fight, and which has come down to their descendants stained with their blood. (From "The Report to Parliament on the Manuscripts of Col. David Milne-Home, of Wedderburn Castle.") This sketch and much of that to follow-has been prepared from the following sources: The History of the House of Wedderburn, written in Latin in 1611 by David Hume of Godscroft (the translation of the work exists only in manuscript form) ; Histories of Noble British Families, Vol. 2, by William Drummond, of London; The Peerage of Scotland, by Sir James Balfour Paul; The Scots Peerage, by Douglas; The Historical Man- THE HUME FAMILY 9 uscripts Commission's Report on the Manuscripts of Col.

The Armorial Bearings of the Humes of Wedderburn are: Arms: Quarterly first and fourth, vert a lion rampart argent, armed and langued gules, for Hume. Second, argent three papingoes vert armed and membered gules, for Pepdie. Third, argent a, cross engraied azure, for Sinclair.

TRADITION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME "HUME" William, grandson of Gospatrick, fourth Earl of Dunbar, married Ada, daughter of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar. A certain man named Philipp, holding both the king and law at defiance, headed a numerous troop of robbers, who lurked in the wood nearby and could not be taken. William, son of the Earl of Dunbar, having one day met this robber chief, slew him and carried his head to the Earl. The King for this action gave him the lands where he made his home. William was "Dominus de Hom," or master, of the lands which were his home. From this, says tradition, originated the lands of Home or Hume. lorn in Celtic, means a hill, of which Ihom is the genitive, in the pronunciation of which the I is mute. The final "e" in Home was added later.

(Macbeth did not live long in his victim's chair, but was slain by Malcolm, son of Duncan I, in 1057.)

BEGINNING OF THE HUME FAMILY Malcolm II, King of Scotland Ethelred the Unready, King of England Malcolm II, King of Scotland, 1005-1034 A. D., had one child, Bethoc, who married Crinan, Lay Abbott of Dunkeld. To this union were born two children: Duncan, King of Scotland, 1034-1040; and Maldred, who married Aldgatha, daughter of Uchtred, and granddaughter of King Ethelred, of England. Egbert was the first King of United England, A. D. 827- 828. His second son, Alfred, known in history as Alfred the Great, was later King of England. Egbert was a direct an­ cestor of Ethelred the Unready, King of England, A. D. 968-1013. In the year 1002 he married Emma, the sister of Richard, Duke of Normandy, a lady who was known as the "Flower of Normandy." He was the last of the six early Saxon kings. Elgiva, the fifth child of Ethelred, married Uchtred, Prince of Northumberland. Their daughter, Ald­ gatha married Maldred, grandson of Malcolm II, King of Scotland. From these two royal houses sprang the Hume family. Maldredus, a son of Malcolm II and Edith, and his wife Ald­ ga tha had one son, Cospatrick, Earl of Northumberland, who fought at the battle of Hastings, and who was the first Baron of Dunbar, and ancestor of the Barons of THE HUME FAMILY 11

Hume. He died in 1081. His second son, Cospatrick II, was the first Earl of Dunbar, and Baron of Hume. He died in 1139, and was succeeded by his son, Cospatrick III, second Earl of Dunbar, and Baron Hume, who married Ada, daughter of King William the Lion. He went on a crusade and died at the siege of Damieta, in Egypt, 1147. His son, Cospatrick IV, third Earl of Dunbar, died in 1166, and was succeeded by his son, Sir Patrick, ancestor of Earls of Hume, and Hume family. Sir William, son of Sir Patrick, was the first Lord of Hume, which land and title he was given by the king. (See tradition of the origin of the name "Hume" already given.) He married his cousin Ada, daugh­ ter of Sir Patrick, fifth Earl of Dunbar. Sir William de Hume, the son of Sir William, first Lord of Hume, was succeeded by his son, Sir Ga,Ifridus de Hume, the third Lord of Hume, in 1300. His son, Sir Roger de Hume, was the fourth Lord of Hume, in 1331, and was succeeded by his son, Sir John de Hume, who was the fifth Lord Hume. Sir John wore a white doublet when in battle, and was known all over the border as "Willie of the White Doublet." Sir Thomas Hume, son of Sir John, married Nichola Pepdie, Baroness of Dunglass, and quartered his arms with her own. Hence the ·popinjays. They had five children, of which the second son, Sir David Hume, was the first Baron of Wedderburne. Sir David, ha,ving inherited from his father the lands of rrhurston, and from Archibald, Earl of Douglass, a grant of the Barony of W edderburne, in the County of Berwick, had a confirmation of it from the King, in 1413, for his military services. He was knighted by King James II in 1443, and died in 1467. Sir David Hume, the son of the first Baron of Wedder­ burne, married Elizabeth Carmichael. He was a warrior of great worth to his country. It was he who forced Robert Graham, the murderer of King James I, from his hiding place and brought him to justice. He died in 1450, before his father, of wounds received in a fight with robbers in the Lammermuir Hills. fiANNER CARRIED BY THE HUMES At Battle of ··FJoddcn Field,'" 1513. THE HUME FAMILY 13

Sir George Hume, the son of Sir David, in 1469 became heir to his grandfather's estate in the lands of Wedderburne. His brother, the Right Honorable Patrick Hume, Earl of Marchmont, Viscount of Blasunberry, Lord Polwarth, Lord High Chancellor of Scotland, lived with him for eighteen years. "The two brothers," says Godscroft, "were a rare example of brotherly love." Such examples are rare in Great Britain, where the inhabitants boast of their affection for their relatives, in truth, they have less than other na­ tions. Sir George married Mariota Sinclair, daughter and co-heir of John Sinclair, of Herdmanstone, from whom he inherited half of the lands of Polwarth and Hedmanstone. He built an addition to the house of Wedderburne, fortified it with seven towers and ditches, and placed over the outer gates his name and arms. (1743.) There is one incident in the life of Sir George Hume which is particularly worthy of mention, and which nearly cost him his life. Percy, Earl of Northumberland, having some time previously collected a great army of about five thousand men, boasted that in spite of, and in dbgrace to them, he would ravage the lands of the Humes and ca,rry off their cattle. This he proceeded to do. The Humes gathered together hurriedly about eight hundred men, and chose Sir George as their leader. They repulsed the attack and won a great victory over the Northumbrians. About a year later Sir George was riding alone when he saw several Englishmen advancing to plunder his home. He seized his spear and dashed forth alone on his horse to attack them, and they, thinking that he led a large army, quickly fled. As soon as the enemy realized that Sir George was alone, they faced about and overcame him. During a dispute that followed as to who should have so great a pris­ oner, one of the English struck him in the face, which so enraged Sir George that he drew his dagger and slew the offender. The English then rushed upon him and shame­ fully mangled his body (1497). The Scots erected a cross upon the spot where Sir George fell which still remains standing. 14 THE HUME FAMILY

Sir David Hume, son of Sir George, succeeded his father as the third Baron of Wedderburn in 1499. He was knighted by King James IV of Scotland, and was killed with his eldest son, Sir George, in the battle of Flodden in 1513. Sir David, the second son, succeeded his father in 1513. He was the principal factor in the slaughter of Anthony D' Arey "de la Bastie," in 1517; was a fearless fighter and was commander-in-chief of the army. The King, James V, was very friendly to Sir David, as was evidenced at a later period when, on being asked what disposition should be made of some French prisoners, the King replied, "Give them to Davie Hume's keeping." Sir David was cited before the Council of Edinburgh and not appearing, was outlawed, but was later pardoned. He later rendered such valuable assistance to the King that he was granted an augumen­ tation to his arms, with the motto, "Remember.'' His death was caused by falling from his horse in 1523, during a battle. A cross was erected on the spot where he fell. His wife was Alison, sister of Archibald, Earl of Angus. She was brought up in the Catholic Church, but later changed to the Protestant faith. On her death-bed a crucifix was brought to her, but she turned her head away and said that her faith was in no such trifle, but in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.* Sir David was succeeded by his eldest son George, who was killed at the battle of Pinkie, September 10, 1547, and he in turn being unmarried, was succeeded by his brother, Sir David Hume of Wedderburn. Sir David Hume succeeded his brother, the fourth Baron of Wedderburn, as the fifth Baron of Wedderburn. He was a great singer, and one of the most prominent lawyers of Great Britain. He married Mariota, daughter of Andrew Johnstone of Elphinstone. On account of her extended charity work and good influence in the community she was known all over the border as the "Good Lady Wedderburn.'' Sir David was captured after the battle of Pinkie in 1547, and carried to England, where he remained two years until his ransom had been paid. He died in 157 4, and is said to

*Noble British Families, by William Drummond; London, England. THE HUME FAMILY 15 be the first male of his family to die a natural death, all others having been killed in the service of their country. Sir George Hume, son of Sir David, was born in 1550. He married Jean, daughter of Haldane of Gleneagles. He was a splendid student, and a valuable officer. He held for the greater part of his life the positions of Comptroller of Scot­ land, and Warden of Marches. He died in 1616, and was succeeded by his son David. Although the Virginia family is not lineally descended from Sir David Hume, brother to Sir George Hume, 6th Baron of Wedderburn, it is right that so noted a historian should be given a place in this record. David Hume, of Godscroft, was the second son, and fifth child of Sir David Hume, fifth Baron of Wedderburn. He was a philosopher and historian, intended for the bar, but abandoned the in­ tention of becoming a lawyer owing to ill health. Among the noted books written by him where the "History of the House of Douglas and Angus" and "History of Humes of Wedderburn." He had a son and daughter. James, the eldest child, was a noted mathematician; and Anna, the second child, was a writer, and assisted her father with his books. Sir David Hume, 7th Baron of Wedderburn, succeeded his father in 1607. (This is the Mr. Hume who assisted Capt. Smith of Jamestown.) In 1625 he was named principal sheriff of the county of Berwick, and in 1635 was created a Baronet by King Charles I. Sir David was an old man when killed at the battle of Dunbar in 1650, fighting against Cromwell.* His wife was Margaret, daughter of Sir John Hume, of Coldingknows. Sir George Hume, the son of Sir David, did not live to in­ herit his father's estate, but was killed in the battle of Dun­ bar with his father. His wife wa,s Catherine Morison. They had three children, as follows: 1. Catherine, m. John Beaton, of Blebo, in Fife.

*It is interesting to the author to note that in the battles against Cromwell, Sir Henry Brockman, and his brother, Sir William of Beachborough, Kent county, England, were known adherents of Charles I, and were engaged in the cause with Sir David Hume. 16 THE HUME FAMILY

2. Margaret Hume. 3. Sir George Hume, 8th Baron of Wedderburn, was born in 1651. He sold half of his lands of Polwarth to Sir Patrick Hume for 9000 marks. Sir Patrick was a distant relative of Sir George's. He was born in 1641 at Polwarth, Berwickshire, and was the son of Sir Patrick Hume, of Polwarth. He became a member of Scottish Parliament in 1665. His opposition to the policy of Lauderdal~ resulted in his imprisonment. After his release, he joined the Duke of Monmouth, but becoming a suspect, he hid in the family vault of Polwarth Kirk until he could flee to the Nether­ lands. He returned to Scotland in 1685 with the Argyll expedition, and when that failed escaped to Utrecht, where he remained until William of Orange came to England, when he returned and once more entered the Scottish Parlia­ ment. In 1690 he was made Lord Polwarth of Polwarth, and six years later became Lord High Chancellor of Scot­ land, and was created Earl of Marchmont in 1697. Sir George Hume married Isobel, daughter of Sir Francis Liddell, of Ravensworth. He died in 1716, leaving two chil­ dren, George and Francis. George Hume, eldest son of Sir George, the 8th Baron of Wedderburn, was the 9th Baron of Wedderburn. (More later.) Francis Hume, of Quixwood, second son of George, the 8th Baron of Wedderburn, married Elizabeth, second daugh­ ter of Sir Patrick Hume of Lumsden. He was engaged in the rebellion with his brother; was captured at Preston and after imprisonment, transported to Virginia in 1716. He became the factor to Governor Spottswood, his kinsman. He died in 1718 and was buried on the banks of the "Rapid Anna" River. George Hume, the surveyor, saw his grave in 1723. "It was enclosed with pailes," so he wrote his family in Scotland. Francis had two children as follows: Alexander Hume; died unmarried. John Hume who married Margaret, daughter of Alexan­ der Home of Coldingham. From him were descended two claimants (both unsuccessful) to the peerage of March­ mont. THE HUME FAMILY 17

George Hume, eldest son of George, the 8th Baron of Wedderburn, was the 9th Baron of Wedderburn. He was engaged in the cause of Prince Charlie in 1715 ; was taken prisoner at Preston, tried and condemned, but later par­ doned. There was an attempt made to confiscate his estates, but having previously mortgaged them, under the old com­ mon law, the crown could not take possession. He married Margaret, a daughter of Sir Patrick Hume, of Lumsden, and died in 1720.

THE FRENCH BRANCH OF THE HUME FAMILY THE COUNTS DE HUME DE CHERISY By EDGAR ERSKINE HUME, of Frankfort, Ky. One occasionally finds a reference in the histories of the family of Hume to one of the name who went to Germany at an early date, and there married and left numerous descend­ ants. I have in vain looked through many historical and genealogical works in the larger libraries of Germany for confirmation of this bit of family history. However, while looking for the records of another French family in the "Dictionnaire de le Noblesse," I found the following interest­ ing account of the French branch of our family. Although I am acquainted with numerous and varied histories of the houses of Hume Wedderburn, and their branches, I have never at any time fou,nd the slightest mention of these Counts de Hume de Cherisy of Burgundy. The account in the Dictionnaire de la Noblesse is in two parts, the first be­ ing the genealogy of the Wedderburn family in Scotland, the second being the story of the French Humes. The part of the article dealing with the Humes of Wedderburn is that as is given elsewhere in this volume, that of their descendants in France, I have translated, as follows: I. GEORGE, son of the first George Hume of Wedderburn, is the founder of the French branch. He went to France at the beginning of the 16th century with his kinsman Robert Stuart, Lord of Aubigny, Marshall of France, and Prince of the Blood Royal of Scotland. Having served under him for a long time in the Company of the twenty-four Gentlemen of the Scottish Guard, he obtained from King Francis I letters 18 THE HUME FAMILY

of naturalization under the name and arms of Hume in June, 1534. This was registered on the 13th of the November following. On his arrival he purchased the lands of Cherisy­ sous-Montreal in Burgundy. This name he added to his own name Hume. He had married on March 20, 1531, Anne de la Boissiere de Santigny. Their son was: II. ANTOINE, Count de Hume de Cherisy, Seigneur de Cherisy, Montomble, Savilly, etc., Governor of Montbeliard and Flavigny. He married on July 1, 1571, Martine Stuart, Lady of Quincerot, Censy, Jours, Sanbourg, Vertamont, etc., niece of Mareschal d' Aubigny, and in the presence of Robert Stuart, Lord of Vizinnes, her brother.· To this union was born: III. JEAN, Count de Hume de Cherisy, Chevalier, Seign­ eur de Cherisy, Saville, Montomble, Quincerot, Censy, etc., Gentlemen in ordinary to the Royal Household, Lieutenant in the Bodyguard, Governor for the Duke of Verneuil. He Wp,S charged with numerous honorable commissions by Henry IV and Louis XIII and the Queen his mother. This is proven by numerous letters and especially by a Brevet of Pension which was accorded him in recognition of the signal services by him rendered at the siege of Amiens, and on other occasions. He married on July 15, 1596, Marthe de la Croix, Lady of Pimelles, Villedieu, etc. They had: 1. Charles, became Abbott of Monastery of Molessmes, by virtue of a decree addressed to the community by the "high and mighty Louis de la Tremoille." 2. Charles-Antoine, who succeeded. 3. Marthe, Lady of Pimelles, married Oct. 21, 1623, Edme-Fran­ cois du Pe, Baron de Tannerre and Louesme-by whom she had a son, Frarn;ois du Pe, Chevalier, called Marquis de Louesme in his papers, Seigneur de Vizinnes, Censy (in Burgundy) and de Saint-Aubin (in Touraine). Mar­ the was left a widow and remarried Jean de Curtenay, by whom she had no issue. (Diet. de la Noblesse, XV, 548). 4. Jeanne, Lady of the fief of Cruzy, married Jan. 30, 1642, Antoine de Dupin de Perron, Seigneur de Courcelle, etc. 5. Marguerite, Lady of Montomble, married May 6, 1624, Lazare de Conigham, Seigneur d'Arcenay, etc. 6. Louise, Lady of Censy, married July 22, 1647, Pierre de Pal­ luau, Chevalier, Seigneur de Vouraces, Courcemain, Saint­ Saturnin, etc. 7. Martine, Lady of Quincerot, married Jan. 13, 1619, Charles de la Motte, Damoiseau, Seigneur de Serrigny, etc. THE HUME FAMILY 19

These five daughters received the above-mentioned lands for their dowers by virtue of a division which was made by them and their brother on April 8, 1644. IV. CHARLES-ANTOINE, Count de Hume de Cherisy, Chevalier, Signeur de Cherisy, Villedieu, etc. He was suc­ cessively Colonel of the two regiments of Conde, Marshall of the Camps and armies of the King. On August 15, 1652, he was made Governor of Clermont and Ca,telet, where he was killed in 1658. He married on Feb. 12, 1635, Marie de Sivry, Lady of Conclay, daughter of Guy, Chevalier, Seign­ eur and Baron de Villargoix, Conclay, and other estates, and Antoinette de la Plume, his wife. Their issue were: l. Edme, died unmarried. 2. Louis, who succeeded. 3. Roger, married Anne-Lazare de Fresne. Their son was, Cesar, Captain in the Picardy Regiment, who died un­ married, leaving his estates to his mother. Thus the estate of Cherisy, which his father had received at the time of his marriage passed to the said Lady de Fresne. 4. Paule-Antoinette, married N--- Darizol, a Bourbonnois. 5. Louise, received the lands of Conclay, married Berigne-Jac­ quet, Baron de Tremoins. 6. Catherine, a nun. These three daughters were older than their brothers. V.

LOSS OF THE WEDDERBURN ESTATE TO THE VIR­ GINIA FAMILY

Ninian Home of Billie held a mortgage on the estate of Sir George Hume, and under the old common law which was in vogue a.t that time, the entire estate could be taken for the debt. It was at this time that Sir George had previously­ mentioned trouble with his country, and therefore he could not fight in the courts. Ninian Home now took possession of the Wedderburn Estate, but not the title of Baronet of Wedderburn, to which he was not entitled and which still belongs to the Virginia family. He married Margaret, seventh child of George Hume, 9th Baron of Wedderburn. This line became extinct after the death of Patrick Hume, their son, and the property was taken over by the descend­ ants of Jean Hume, a sister of Margaret, Ninian Home's wife, whose descendants are now in possession of the Wed­ derburn Estate, and have taken the name Home.* Following are the children of Sir George Hume, 9th Baron of Wedderburn: 1. Sir David Hume, 10th Baron; died 1763; no issue. 2. George Hume, emigrated to America; (more later). 3. Sir Patrick Hume, 11th Baron of Wedderburn, died 1763 without issue. He was a surgeon in the Royal Navy. 4. Captain John Hume, of the Royal Navy, died without issue, 1738. 5. John, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. 6. Captain James Hume of the Royal Navy; killed on Fireship Pluto, in Bay of Biscay, 1758. History speaks of him as a brave and daring officer. 7. Margaret Hume, married Ninian Home, of Billie; had one son, Patrick, who succeeded to the estate of Wedderburn. 8. Isobel Hume, married Alexander Home, of Jardinfield. 9. Jean Hume, married John Todd, Clerk, Minister of Lady Kirk. Their descendants are now in possession of the Wedderburn Estate. Sir George Hume, second son of Sir George, 9th Baron of Wedderburn, emigrated to America in 1721, and settled in Spotsylvania County, Va. He was a surveyor, and the one who taught George Washington surveying. He married

*The name Hume and Home are spelled both ways in Scotland, but both are pro­ nounced HUME. In some cases brothers have been known to spell their names~ one with O and another with U. HUME is the most popular way of srelling the name. 22 THE HUME FAMILY

Elizabeth Procter, daughter of George Procter, of Fred­ ericksburg, Va., and had six sons. Before proceeding further with the Virginia branch, it seems appropriate to make mention of some of the efforts of the Virginia line to secure the property and the title which rightfully belongs to them.

EFFORTS TO REGAIN THE ESTATES OF MARCHMONT AND WEDDERBURN The first efforts made by anyone to regain the Scottish dignities and estafos, to which they were clearly entitled, were made in 1811, by George Hume, the heir and grandson of George Hume, of Scotland, and would have been crowned with success had not the death of the claimant brought the matter to an abrupt end. The following is a copy of a letter from James Hume, Jr., to his cousin, George Hume, the claimant, attd explains fully the conditions at that time: Mr. GEORGE HUME, Richmond, Ky., U. S. A. Dear Sir: I received your letter some time ago, which was dated 29th of December last (1809). I am happy to inform you that I and my· family are enjoying a great share of health at this time. Your friends in this part of the country that I have seen or heard of are all well. I am happy to hear of your welfare, and that of your family, though certainly sorry to hear of the death of our old Uncle William. You wrote me to tell how our affairs stand respecting the estates of Wedderburn and Marchmont. It has been out of my power to give you such satisfactory an answer as you would wish until late. I will now inform yon of everything that I know. Last fall a Mr. Alexander Dick came to Fredericksburg, a Scotch and British agent from Edinburgh, near the estate of Wedderburn, and is well acquainted with the estate. I was recommended by Mr. Robert Patton and other friends to make a friend of Mr. Dick. I have done so, and directed him to make every inquiry about the estate, and give me the earliest information, which he has done. About two months past he complied with his promise and I received a letter from him directed to Mr. Robert Patton and then to me. He informs me that he has made every inquiry, and has searched all of the records there for the entail, and he cannot find it, nor any one that has title to the estate, so much as the claims from this coun­ try, which Mr. Dick verily believes from the papers which I have shown him, that we are the heirs-at-law, and that we only have right to the estates of Wedderburn and Marchmont. He writes me that a Lieu­ tenant Home holds the estate in possession at this time. After the death of the last heir in that country there was no one to take posses­ sion, so Parliament took charge of it until the right party should come. THE HUME FAMILY 23

Mr. Dick also writes me that the Lieutenant will stand a suit before he will give up, but seems willing, provided that we are the rightful own­ ers, to come to a settlement and divide, which Mr. Dick recommended me to do, for we or our great grandchildren will never see the end of it, if we sue for it. As to the Marchmont estate he believes that they will give that up, as the man who holds title to it is dead, and the widow who is now in possession says that if the rightful owners come, she is willing to give it up. All of the above is now for your consideration, and give me an answer to this Jetter as to what I am to do, and how to proceed. * * * James Hume, Jr., Fredericksburg, Va. October 5th, 1810. More than a year elapsed after the above letter was writ­ ten before the necessary affidavits were procured, and the power of attorney sent to Virginia, empowering James Hume to act in the case. Whether this dela,y was caused by lack of mail service, or what caused it, is not known. There is a report among old papers in the Marchmont house, that Mr. Dick entered suit in chancery in 1811, and that said suit is still on the Chancery Books. It is said by Sir Hugh Hume Purvis Campbell to be true, and that it is kept there to prevent the Marchmont claimants from entering suit for the same dignities. If this is true, it is an item the American· claimant should not lose sight of, as it bars the operation of the statutes of limitation. December 11, 1811, Mr. Hume gave his nephew the necessary papers, affidavits, etc., to establish his claim. Mr. Dick found the occupant, Lieut. Home, absent on a cruise around the world on a voyage of discovery (see Cook Voy­ ages). He had been with Capt. Cook on his memorable voyage, and after the death of Capt. Cook he kept up the same work. On his return home, he made an effort to be made Earl of Marchmont, but his right not being proven, he was not successful. The following reference appears in the genealogist's guide, and shows that Sir Alexander entered his claim (see House of Lords Session Papers, 40, 1822). Francis Hume, Esq., made a similar claim, which was disallowed on account of•a claimant in America (See session papers, 1838). 24 THE HUME FAMILY

As far as the author knows, no further claim has been made by the American Branch for the estates of Wedder­ burn and Marchmont. The death of George Hume, the claimant, has ended the attempt of the American family to regain the estate. At a more recent time, the Scottish Branch made a claim in the English courts for the title of Baron of Wedderburn. The court decided that this title rightfully belonged to the American Family.

Hume (born September 1st, 1858), eldest son of John Hurne, Jr., who was the eldest son of John Hurne, Sr., and Ann l\fazyck, is the father of nine children. His wife, Harriett Donald Perkins, daughter of Captain John N. Per­ kins, veteran of the Mexican and Civil War, and their chil­ dren are as follows: Charles L. Hume, born 1881 in Rome, Ga., now a resident of Bluefield, West Va. Anita Hume, born in 1884, novv Mrs. W. J. Carey of Rome, Georgia. Eleanor Hume, born 1886, now Mrs. R. H. Haskins of Hazar,d, Ky.

Harriet Elizabeth Hume, born 1905, living in Rome, Ga., with parents. John Hume, great grandfather of this line, born at Charleston, S. C., in 1798, was the reputed "Earl of March­ mont," but all records of his line were lost in the fire and earthquake in Charleston. The family were members of St. Michael's Church of that city, which was destroyed. The family characteristics are modesty and high integ.. rity-their motto is "True to the End," and they live up to the standard. Rome, Ga. Dear Mr. Brockman: I am surprised to know one so young as you are has been inspired and enabled to compile the book of "Hume, Brock­ man and Kennedy" families, and revive the lost traditions of a noble line. All honor to you! May the "shades of de­ parted ancestors" know of the work you have done, as well as the inheritors of the long- line of "goodly folk." After all, THE HUME FAMILY 27 what better can come to a man than inspiration of so hon­ orable a line! I have four good boys from the same, and when I think of their high moral standard I thank the old line for them. My own family of "Perkins" are good people and I count with pride some very noble men and women among them, so, though our family has inherited the one failing of the im­ migrant, "George Hume," not being money-makers, I am glad to sa,y that they are comfortable and at least every dol­ lar they have is clean. I have nine children, all grown and married except two; one twenty, Katherine, and one fifteen, Harriet. My husband is the rightful "Earl of Marchmont." In 1840 his grandfather, John Hume of Charleston, South Caro­ lina, received a letter from England telling him that he was the heir and he wrote back that he preferred to live in America and be Earl of '"Marsh mud," playing on the rice lands and title, but I think he did his sons an injustice not to have kept the proofs at least. I suppose the facts could be gotten from the court house in Charleston, or England, where the decree was made. I will be glad to give my family names to be added if there is to be another edition, and let me thank you for what you have done in keeping up the heritage of a good name and hoping some day to have the pleasure and honor of voting for yol;l to fill a high office, I close with respect.

THE LINE OF ANDREW HUME IN AMERICA By Mrs. Linda Kennedy Wine, Culpeper, Va. The following information was copied from Hume History by Dr. John R. Hume, St. Louis, page 31. Alexander 2nd, Earl of March­ mont. Born 1675, married Margaret daughter and heiress of Sir George Campbell. Was a member of parliament for Berwickshire in 1704 and resigned his seat in favor of his younger brother, the Hon. "Sir Andrew Hume" of Kimmerghame, Berwickshire. And on Page 65-Francis Hume, a man of great wealth and powerful influence by purchase succeeded to Estates of Quixwood, and George, a seven­ teen year old son of the old Baron of Wedderburn, were held in prison in England for two years after which Sir Francis was deported to Virginia and placed in care of his cousin, Governor Spotswood, where 28 THE HUME FAMILY he remained as factor for two years but the miasmatic climatic was too severe for his constitution which together with grief for his wife and two sons, he died in 1718.-Brockman.

Andrew Hume first appears in the "Minutes Books" of Fauquier County, Virginia, beginning in 1759. Tradition says, he came from Scotland to Stafford County. But as 27 books of that county were destroyed by the Union sol­ diers while camping in the clerk's office during the Civil War (many of them being cut to pieces with knives), it is not strange that no records can be found of him there. His home, "Locust Grove," in Fauquier County, was destroyed by fire and old family records burned with it. In the manu­ scripts of Col. David Milne-Home of Wedderburn, Scotland, beginning 1413, there seems to have been an Andrew Hume in almost every generation. Page 23 shows Andrew Hume as a witness for "George of Wedderburn in 1478." Page 2 says: "The Humes of Wedderburn were the oldest cadets of the family of Home, and that there were numerous de­ scendants who "shared the honors," etc. Andrew Hume of Fauquier is believed to be the son of Ninian Home, who ma.r­ ried Margaret, a sister .of Emigrant George, in 1726. He was about the age of Charles Hume, youngest son of Emi­ grant George, and who married Hannah James and Jived in Fauquier County (1764). Then Charles, son of Francis, second son of George of Wedderburn, a,lso married in Fauquier, Miss Celia Shumate, showing that Andrew Hume lived among them. It is said that Ninian Hume had six­ teen (16) children and that all of them died young. This seems improbable, as on page 10 in the manuscripts we read he had, some say 16 children, but it gives only the names of nine, six sons and three daughters, viz.: Ninian, Patrick, Abraham, David, And~ Thomas, Isabel, Jean and Margaret. Each child is accounted for except Andrew. We read further, that General David Hume died in 1809, and leaving no issue, was succeeded by his sister Jean-by this time the only surviving member of Mr. Ninian Hume's sec­ ond family. Andrew Hume died in Fauquier County, Vir­ ginia, in 1802. His life corresponds exactly with the An-:. drew of Ninian's family. It is on record that Ninian Hume THE HUME FAMILY 29 came to America to look for his cousin Francis, who died at the home of his cousin, Governor Spotswood. It is an estab­ lished fact that many of the Humes besides Emigrant George and his uncle Francis came to America and here closely allied by intermarriage for many generations. We find Patrick Home in Stafford County, in 1699. Also Francis Home, Wm. Hume in King George County in 17 46, where he married prior to 1753-Frances, the daughter of Wm. Pattershall of that county from whom she inherited a large legacy. Alexander and James Hume lived in Fairfax County, Fauquier and Spotsylvania at the time of George the Emigrant. Wm. Hume, late of the Kingdom of Great Brit­ ain, deceased, left a son James and a widow Sarah Hume, in Culpeper in 1753. I have been told by my cousin, the late Miss Carrie L. Hume of Orange, that Jacob Hume, a grandson of Andrew Hume of Fauquier, was a kinsman of the family before his marriage to Sally B. W. Lowen, a sister to Mary Lowen, wife of Benjamin Hume, Margaret Lowen, wife of Humphrey Hume, and Fanny Lowen, wife of Wm. Waller Hume. The above were sons of Charles Hume and Hannah James Hume and their wives were sisters, daughters of Benjamin Lowen of County of Culpeper. This relationship"" to Jacob Hume was always recognized and claimed between the descendants of Emigrant George Hume of _Spotsylvania and Culpeper, and Andrew Hume of Fauquier County. In book 3, page 382, is the will of Andrew Hume, March 20, 1802. His wife being dead, he mentions only his children, viz.: Robert, Andrew, John, George and Hannah Hume. His sons, George and Andrew, were execu­ tors of his estate. Dear Mr. Brockman: Since yo1,1r first book was published we have discovered that our great, great, great grandfather Hume was Andrew and not Robert as stated by my aunt Nettie Hume in your book. His will is recorded here in the clerk's office. The lawyer we had failed to find it. Cousin Linda discovered it. I'm enclosing a small chart just to. find out what you would like me to do. Mrs. Spurr, just a month or so ago, wrote to Mrs. Wine, asking if she could find her Hume ancestors and enclosing a chart beginning with Andrew of Lanquin and Robert, Andrew, John and George. She descends from John__ -and says that Andrew, Jr., settled in Abingdon, 30 THE HUME FAMILY

Va., and had one daughter. She also says that Robert settled in Ohio and his sons were Gus, William, Stockton, Samuel and George. She says the last mentioned, George, lived near Columbus, Ohio, came from Hampton County, Virginia in 1823 or 1824, to Ohio, visited Kentucky while John Hume was living. _Her great uncle Matthew Hume told her this, he was the son of John. She is mistaken about Robert settling in Ohio, his will is here and his children mentioned. He was my line. You find these Stockton Humes on page 59 of your book. They were kin to us evidently, visit­ ing each other as kin. . . . May 14, 1923. Roberta Vance. Charlestown, W. Va., October 18, 1915. Mr. EVERETT BROCKMAN, Washington, D. C. D'ear Sir: Mrs. Anna Hume Bowersett forwarded me your letter asking for the address of the heirs of one Catherine Ann Lewis, daughter of Robert Hume, of Fauquier. Catherine Ann Hume mar­ ried Capt. James B. Lewis, of the U.S. Navy, and lived in Alexandria, Va. She has one son living, Robert H. Lewis, 118 W. LaFayette Avenue, Baltimore, Md., he being the only one of her children living. She has two daughters who married. Virginia W. Lewis, .who married J. H. B. Kemp, left one son, James B. Kemp, of Maquoketa, Iowa, Elizabeth Battail Lewis, the other daughter, married Chas. W. Lewis. They died leaving two daughters, Virginia W. Lewis, who married Earl S. Fitz, of Abbottstown St., Hanover, Pa. Ann Catherine Lewis, the other daughter, lives with me. I think it possible that Robert H. Lewis could give you some information on the Hume family. Thanking you for the interest you have taken in the matter, I am, Very sincerely yours, CHAS. H. LEWIS. Children of Andrew Hume: 1. Robert, born 17 44, m. Sarah McKay, died 1809. 2. Andrew, went to Abingdon, Va. We are trying to find his descendants. 3. John, went to Kentucky; line furnished '!>y Mrs. Ruth Spurr. 4. Hannah, line given by Mrs. Wanamaker. 5. George, went to Ohio, nothing known of his descendants.

HUMES OF WEDDERBURN Emigrant George Hume, son . of Sir George Hume, ninth Baron of Wedderburn, Scotland. First Generation

GEORGE HUME was born at Wedderburn Castle on May 30, 1698. Together with his father, Sir George, and his uncle Francis, he participated in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. His uncle Francis was sent to America, where he was received by his cousin, Governor Spottswood, more as a guest than a political prisoner. Governor Spottswood made him one of the fifty gentlemen of the famous "Transmontane Party" in 1716. Campbell in his account of this expedition says: "There were about fifty persons in all. They had a large number of pack horses, an abundant supply of pro­ visions, and an extraordinary variety of liquors." "This gay party," says Smith, "started from the Governor's castle, at Germania, and after leisurely advancing through the country reached Swift Run Gap, which is by most persons taken to mean the historic pass. Here Governor Spotts­ wood cut his ma,jesty's name George I upon a rock of the highest mountain, giving it the name Mt. George. The others in the party, not to be outdone, named the next mountain, Mt. Spoitswood. On this memorable trip the adventurers were compelled to carry a lot of extra horseshoes. Their tenderfooted tide­ water animals were unable to endure the rocks bare of foot, and so one of the chief camp duties was to keep the horses in place and in order. On their return to Germana Governor Spottswood gave each one of the party who had drunk his toast on Mt. George WEDDERBURN CASTLE- The Home of the Humes i·n Scotland. THE HUME FAMILY 41 a golden horseshoe, with the legend "Sic juvat transcendere montes" engraved upon it, and constituted what was called the Transmontane Order. King George for this action made Governor Spottswood a Knight of the Garter, and each of his followers was afterwards called a "Knight of the Golden Horseshoe." Francis Hume died in 1718. "In the Virginia State Library there is a complete list of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe, the name of Francis Hume being among the list. There were only about forty Knights. This is one of the greatest honors that has come to the family in America. The document mentioned says, in part: 'On the 25th of December, 1716, in the hall of the House of Burgesses, Governor Spottswood, dressed in full court costume, viz., crimson velvet coat, ruffles at the throat and wrist, assisted by the Rev. Hugh Jones, chaplain of the General Assembly, invested the following gentlemen, authorized by his Majesty's Council, with the badge of the Golden Horseshoe.' Here follow about forty names. The Governor ended with 1these words: 'Your names, gentlemen, honored and distinguished as they are by illustrious ancestry, may by the mutations and in­ stability of human greatness be yet rescued from ob­ livion by these simple memorials.' The members of the order then kneeled down and were invested in due form with the insignia of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.'' George Hume, after being two years in prison, was taken from the Marchelsea, and much against his will, placed on a Glasgow slaver. At the request of Captain Dandridge, ancestor of Martha Washington, George was exchanged to his vessel and put ashore at Norfolk, Virginia. With a letter from Captain Dandridge he went into the country to Wil­ liamsburg, the seat of the newly founded College of William and Mary. Here he found his cousin, Governor Spottswood. and presented Captain Dandridge's letter to him. Shortly after his arrival in Virginia, George Hume had a severe illness which neaJ"ly resulted fatally. His recovery was due to the skill of Doctor Brown (Doctor Brown is buried in Old Bruton Parish Church, near East gate Wil­ liamsburg, Va. He died two years later in 1725), an ac- 42 THE HUME FAMILY

quaintance from Scotland, who was then in America. In 1723, two years after landing, he was employed as assistant to the chief surveyor of William and Mary College and sent to the field to work. In this capacity he remained three years, at the expiration of which time he was engaged by King Geo. II as official surveyor of the county of Orange. In 1727-28 he laid out the present city of Fred­ ericksburg. George Hume served in the Colonial Troops of Spott­ sylvania County as a lieutenant under command of Captain William Bledsoe. He produced his commission in open court and took oath on September 2, 1729. This is recorded in the Order Book of Spottsylvania County. The sword which he carried was mentioned in the inventory of his estate, recorded in Culpeper Will Book A, page 228. This service makes all his descendants eligible for the Society of Colonial Wars and the Society of Colonial Dames. In 1731 George Hume received his commission as deputy to the king. This with a marriage dower of 2,000 acres of land enabled him to take up a residence with his family near the new city of Fredericksburg and push his occupation as surveyor. George Washington was, from his sixteenth to his eight­ eenth year, under the tutelage of George Hume, and from him learned the profession of surveying. Washington and one of the older sons of George Hume (William) were born the same year, reared in the same villa,ge, and were taught by the same instructor, Mr. Williams. When Sir Thomas Fairfax, Baron Cameron, came to Virginia to take possession of his estates, he found there a claimant to all lands between the north and south branches of the Rappahannock River. The King claimed that the north branch, and Fairfax that the south branch, of this river was the boundary of the Culpeper grant (Fairfax was the grandson of Lord Culpeper). Lord Fairfax had enough power in England to demand a Board of Arbitration to set the matter right. The King allowed this, and therefore appointed one Abercrombie, of Georgia. Fairfax appointed FLY-LEAF OF FIELD BOOK Which Was Used by George Hume, While Surveyor. 44 THE HUME FAMILY his eighteen-year-old friend, George Washington, to repre­ sent him. George Washington now influenced Abercrombie to accept his former teacher of surveying, George Hume, as the third arbiter of the Fairfax estates. George, like all the Humes, was an Episcopalian. He was a vestryman of St. George's parish, and the parish records mention him many times. In 1726 he was reader in a new parish (i. e., St. George's at Germana, founded by Governor Spottswood). In 1727 he was custodian for the parish poor. At another date he was appointed to "set the church east and west." At another he was appointed by the parish to count and levy the King's rates on tobacco in the said parish of St. George. The letters from George Hume to his mother, brothers, and sisters in Scotland, as well as their letters to him, have been preserved. They throw interesting light on conditions in Scotland and Virginia at this time. Much of our infor­ mation on the life of George Hume is had from these. One of them gives an account of Braddock's Defeat, another of surveying, "as far to ye West as ye branches of Misossippy." The letters from the brothers of George Hume, all of whom, except the eldest, were officers in the British Navy, are most interesting. Many tell of fights with Spanish and French privateers. Some of these letters were published in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography for October, 1912. George Hume was surveyor for Lord Fairfax from 1743 to 1750. On the 30th of November of that year King George II commissioned him surveyor of Orange County. His bond to the King is preserved in the records of Orange County.

Miscellaneous Notes by Sallie Hume Douglas. The George Hume b. Wedderburn Castle in Scotland May 30, 1698, who was Surveyor to Lord Fairfax in Va. and who married Elizabeth Procter of Fredericksburg, Va., was a Colonial Militia Officer. "George Hurne, Colonial Militia Officer." "The Colonial Militia Officers who produced their commissions be­ fore the Court of His Majesty Hon'l. Justices for the county as direct­ ed by law. Capt. William Bledsoe and his officers James Williams and George Hume took ye oath Sept. 2, 1729." ( See Order Book, Page 3-12, Colonial Records for Spotsylvania Co. Colonial Militia." The above entitles a woman to belong to the Colonial Dames of America. Crozier's Spotsylvania says, "George Proctor was from St. George's Parish, and lived there in 1737." Also "George Proctor had 2 other daughters besides Elizabeth. One married Charles Steward and Margaret married Elias Sharp." Crozier's Spotsylvania County Records Page 116 say-"George Proctor of St. George's Parish Spotsylvania Co. Planter sells to Chas. Burges of Lancaster Co.

(Records are at the Theological Seminary near Hon. Frank Hume's old home in Alexandria, Va.) "The record of Orange Co., the adjoining County, show Nov., 1737, George Hume produced his commission as deputy surveyor of Orange and duly sworn in." (See Records Book No. 1, Page 63-1737.) "George Hume deeds to the Wardens of St. Mark's Parish a tract of land for glebe and church site in the Great Forks of the Rap­ pahanock, several deeds from George Hume and Elizabeth his wife." "He was appointed full surveyor of Orange Co. Nov. 30, 1751, and gave bond." (Record books of Orange Co.) "The record books of Culpeper Co., July 17, 1760, Roger Dixon, Clerk.

George Hume, Administrator." "George Proctor acknowledged his deed of gift for land unto his daughter, Elizabeth, wife of George Hume, June 4th, 1728, page 231." ( Spotsylvania Co. Records.)

On February 16, 1727, George Hume married Elizabeth Procter, daughter of George Procter, and his wife Mary. This is shown by the Governor's order book for Spottsyl­ vania County. George Procter, who died in 1738, was a prominent man of Surry and Spottslyvania Counties. He had been one of the soldiers in Bacon's Rebellion and with Thos. Bushby had drawn up the Bill of Grievances for Surry County. The reasons for drawing up this Bill may be briefly stated: "On Jan. 29, 1677, there arrived in Virginia, which was· still in a state of great agitation following upon the collapse of the popular movement, a commission composed of Sir John Berry, who had come over as admiral of the fleet, Herbert Jeffreys, and Francis Moryson, who were in command of the regiment of English soldiers sent out to put a summary ending to the insurrection. The three com­ missioners brought over with them a full set of instructions to guide them in their actions. Of their instructions, which THE HUME FAMILY 47 covered a wide ground, the fifth opened as follows : 'You shall inform yourselves of all grievances in general.' In accordance with the order, the commissioners 'inquired into and took the complaints at large of the respective counties in writing.' These complaints throw the clearest light on the mixed causes which led up to the uprising under the leadership of Nathaniel Bacon." (Va. Hist. Mag. 11, 170.) George Proctor was one of the forty men who signed the petition for the forgiveness sent to the King on February 6, 1676. (Wm. & Mary Quart., Oct. 1902.)

There was a Sally Ann Pro~ter, a widow of Madison's Hundred who fortified her house during Bacon's Rebellion. (Dr. Lyon G. Tyler) She claimed connection with Gov. Sir George Yeordly, our ancestor. I do not know just where she comes in.-J. R. Hume. The children of George Hume and Elizabeth Proctor, were as follows: 1. George Hume, married Jane Stanton. 2. Francis Hume, married Elizabeth Duncan. 3. John Hume, m. 1st, Miss Long, of Virginia; 2nd, Jean Gleann. 4. William Hume, married Anne---. 5. James Hume, m. Frances Patterson.t 6. Charles Hume, married Hannah James (ancestor of the author).

Record of his will may be found in Madison Court House, Madison, Virginia. George Hume was also a surveyor like his father. He was a sergeant in the Company commanded by William Payne, Jr., in the First Virginia Regiment, under the command of Colonel George Gibson, during the Revolutionary War, serving from September 14, 1777, to March, 1778. See record in the War Department. Their children were as follows:

*FRANCIS HUME, SECOND SON OF EMIGRANT GEORGE HUME

Second Generation FRANCIS HUME, second son of George Hume and Eliza­ beth Proctor, was born in Spotsylvania County, Va., in 1730 or 1731. He was a planter and had 609 acres of land in Culpeper County from a grant by Lord Fairfax in the year 1760. However, he must have been a land-owner in his own right before this, for in one of his father's letters to the family in Scotland he is mentioned as the owner of a plan­ tation in Culpeper County on the Great Fork of the Rappa­ hannock River, fifteen miles from Culpeper Court House. Francis Hume served in the troops of Culpeper County in the French and Indian War. He was in the command of Captain John Field. This was proven to the satisfaction of the court of Madison County, Ky., by the oath of Charles, the son of Francis, who was at that time living in or near Madison County. On March 8, 1777, Francis had a lease of land from Bowles Armistead for the consideration of 500 pounds of tobacco. The lease was to be in force during his natural life and that of his wife Elizabeth, and his son James. The rec­ ords of the county snow that he made a deed to his son Armistead in 1806. In Deed Book AA, page 524, of Cul­ peper County, August 14, 1806, Francis Hume transferred all of his property, both real and personal, to his son Armi­ stead Hume, of Culpeper, County and to his eldest son Charles of Fauquier County.

*The line of Armistead Hume and Priscilla Colvin was compile::1 by Mrs. Thomas Worthington Cooke, who was formerly Miss Alice Hume, dauzhter of Hon. Frank Hume, of Washington, D. C. The 1ine of Charles Hume antl Celia Shumate was compiled by Dt. EJgar Erskine Hume, of Frankfort, Ky.-Brockman. THE HUME FAMILY 59

At the time of the Revolution, Francis served under his old commander, John Field, against the Indians who were allied to the English. This was proven in court of the county of Culpeper in July, 1811, and Francis was given bounty warrant in consideration of his services. See "Revo­ lutionary Soldiers of Virginia," Vol. 1, page 232. Authority for William Hume's service is given on the same page. Francis Hume died on his plantation in Culpeper County in 1813, and was there buried. He is described in the family papers as having been a "tall, heavy-set man." He married Elizabeth, daughter of James Duncan of Hamilton Parish, Fauquier County, Va. She survived her husband and died at the home of her daughter, Nancy Sharp, in Columbia, Mo., in 1822, at the age of 94. Children of Francis Hume: 1. Elizabeth, married John Almond, of Spottsylvania County. 2. Nancy, m. Lewis Sharp and lived at Columbia, Mo. After becoming a widow her mother lived with them until death in 1822. 2 3. Charles, m.

Third Generation

2. CHARLES HUME, eldest son of Francis Hume and Eliza­ beth Duncan, was born on his father's plantation in Cul­ peper County, Virginia, and there spent his childhood. While still a young man he went to the adjoining county of Fauquier and there married. A part of the wedding ap­ parel of Charles and his wife Celia,-his silk stockings and knee buckles, and her white shoes-has come down to his descendants, and is now in the possession of Dr. Edgar Erskine Hume, of Frankfort, Ky. 60 THE HUME FAMILY

Charles was in Fauquier County at the time of the War of 1812, in which he served as a commissioned officer. He was First Lieutenant of his kinsman Captain Joseph Hume's company of the First, or Crutchfield's Regiment of the Vir­ ginia Militia. He was discharged at Fredericksburg on Dec. 17, 1814. (War Department Records.) In Fauquier County, Charles Hume and his brother Ben­ jamin were engaged in business. The old account book of the firm is preserved, though much faded. It has been kept up to this time in the old family-record chest. This chest is made of heavy black walnut, and was brought from Scot­ land by George Hume, the grandfather of Charles. The Deed Books of Culpeper and Fauquier Counties show that Charles Hume and Celia, his wife, made, on Dec. 14, 1803, a trust deed to James Ross to secure Humphrey Pierce. As often happens, the friend for whom he endorsed failed and Charles lost all. Everything went at a forced sale and the tragedy of seeing forty faithful slaves sold so impressed his son Lewis, then but six years old, that it was indelibly stamped on his memory until his death at the age of 7 4. Charles now decided to emigrate to Kentucky, which he did about 1818. He went first to Madison County, where he had relatives, for his uncle George, son of him who came from Scotland, was living there with a large family. It was during his residence here that Charles was able to prove to the court that his father had served in the French and Indian War. In a military list for Madison County, for 1827 (now in the Kentucky archives), Charles Hume is men­ tioned as a Captain in Tevis' Regiment of Militia in the Cherokee Indian War. Charles Hume's farm was on the line between Madison and Garrard Counties, but the house was actually on the Garrard side. After living here several years, Charles and his family removed to Trimble County. In Trimble County, his farm was on Locust Creek about six miles from Milton, a small town on the Ohio River. His home on this farm was a large double log house, as were all of the houses in that part of the state at this time. THE HUME FAMILY 61

Charles lived on his farm until his death, which occurred in 1838 or 1839. He is described by one of his grandsons, who was just old enough to remember him, as a tall, broad­ shouldered man with iron-grey hair, short, grey beard, and but slightly bald. Up to his last illness he was able to walk almost as erect as in his youth.. He and all of his sons were over six feet tall. His grandson, Dr. Enoch Edgar Hume, of Frankfort, Ky., was said to have resembled him remark­ ably. Charles Hume married Celia, the daughter of John Shu­ mate, of Fauquier County on June 1, 1803. John Shumate was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was killed at the bat­ tle of Bladensburg, on Aug. 24, 1814. His parents were Jean de la Shumate, a Huguenot emigrant, and Judith Bailey. John Shumate married Susannah Crump, daugh­ ter of Benjamin Crump of "Round Hill" and Mary Barbour Price his wife. Benjamin Crump was an officer in the Virginia line in the Revolution, and received a military war­ rant for land in Kentucky for his services. Celia Shumate Hume was tall with fair hair and blue eyes. She played well on the violin and there are persons still living who can remember spending evenings at her home enjoying her music. She died in 1854 or 1855.

Fourth Generation 3. REV. LEWIS HUME, second son of Charles Hume and Celia Shumate, was born in Fauquier County, Va., on June Rl~V. LEWIS HUME 66 THE HUME FAMILY

22, 1814. He was only a child when his father emigrated to Kentucky with his family, but he and his elder brother and sister retained a vivid memory of better fortunes in Virginia. James Armistead, the eldest son, and Lewis, helped their father in the management of the farm which he bought in Kentucky with the remnants of his Virginia property. Thus Lewis lived on his father's property in Trimble County, Ky., until his marriage. After his marriage Lewis, who had been an Episcopalian, became a convert to the faith taught by Alexander Camp­ bell. The McGee family, into which he had married, had been Scotch Presbyterians, but, they too, went into his church. He then entered the ministry of the Christian Church. While preaching in churches in Anderson and Spencer Counties in early manhood, he became an intimate friend of Dr. John Hampton Clark, a zealous member of his church. Their sons Edgar E. Hume and Champ Clark were destined to continue that friendship through life. After preaching at his home church for many years, Rev. Lewis Hume was pastor of the Jefferson Street Christian Church of Louisville for about three years. At the end of this time he retired to spend his old age on his beloved farm in Spencer County. Here he died on May 22, 1888, and was buried beside his wife and son, Dr. Lewis Hume, in the old McGee graveyard, but later all three were buried in the cemetery at Frankfort, in order that "all might rest to­ gether," as Dr. Edgar Hume, Lewis' son, had requested. Rev. Lewis Hume was six feet three inches in height, of handsome features, with dark hair and clear hazel eyes. His younger son, Dr. Lewis Hume, was also six feet three. The generosity of Lewis Hume so far outran his means that his family was often embarrassed by it. This was especially true during the War, when he declared that though his calling prevented his fighting, it de_manded that he do all in his power to :relieve the distressed soldiers of the South, to whom many a goodly horse was given and the best that his larder afforded. THE HUME FAMILY 67

Rev. Lewis Hume married on June 6, 1843, Lamira Doug­ las McGee, who was born March 15, 1826, and was the eld­ est child of Enoch Kelly McGee, a planter of Spencer County, and his wife, Rebecca Cartmell Crist. The father and grand­ father of Enoch, both named Patrick McGee, were soldiers of the Revolution, the father in the Penn. Rifle Regiment, and the son in Harrod's company of Ky. Volunteers. Lamira Douglas McGee's maternal grandfather was Jacob Crist, the younger brother of Gen. Henry Crist, of the Revolution­ ary Army, who distinguished himself at the Battle of Salt Licks, where, after being wounded in the foot, he crawled twelve miles to warn the settlements of the approaching Indians (see account in Collins' History of Kentucky). Ja­ cob Crist married Rogeneah, daughter of Nathan Cartmell, a pioneer Kentucky Revolutionary soldier, who was with Gen. Geo. Rogers Clark on his famous expedition against the Illinois forts. Nathan Cartmell's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all named Nathaniel, the former being a Revolutionary soldier in Virginia, the latter having emigrated from Lancashire, England. Lamira Douglas McGee was the great-granddaughter of Captain Paul Froman, of the Revolutionary Army, through his son Jacob. Jacob Froman was a Kentucky Revolutionary soldier and later a member of the first Constitutional Con­ vention of the State, and was one of the committee which fixed the permanent seat of government at Frankfort. He represented Mercer County in the first Kentucky Legisla­ ture, and was afterwards in the Wabash Indian War. La~ mira Douglas McGee was sixth in descent from the pioneer Jost Hite, the first white man who entered Shenandoah Val­ ley of Virginia, and who brought with him the German im­ migrants. He became Justice of the first court of Orange County. He had five sons who were officers of the Continen­ tal Line of the Revolutionary Army, two of whom, Capt. Abraham Hite and Lieut. Isaac Hite, were original members of the Society of the Cincinnati. Lieut. George Hite (son of Abraham) was also a member. He had, while a student at William and Mary College, been one of the founders and first treasurer of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. 68 THE HUME FAMILY

Lamira Douglas McGee was seventh in descent from Colo­ nel Joshua Fry, who wa,s Commander-in-Chief of the Ameri­ can forces at the beginning of the French and Indian War, but resigned his commission on account of his age and was succeeded by Colonel George Washington. Lamira Douglas McGee died in Spencer County on May 22, 1886, and was buried as above stated, first in the McGee gra,veyard and later in Frankfort Cemetery. Their children were: 4 1. Dr. Enoch Edgar, married Mary South (of whom later) 2. Celia Minerva, born Feb. 14, 1846; married Mar. 24, 1869, Andrew Jackson Maddox, born Sept. 27, 1848; died May 30, 1916. He served in Berry's Co. (H) of Cluke's Regi­ ment (8th) of Gen. Morgan's Confederate Cavalry. Celia Minerva Hume died at her home in Bardstown, Ky., on Jan. 8, 1907. The issue of this line were: (1) Aline, b. Feb. 13, 1872, and died Sept. 17, 1910, leaving one child, Evelyn Hume Beard; (2) Myra Todd, b. Oct. 23, 1873; (3) Elijah Hume, b. April 18, 1870; served in the Spanish American War in the 23rd Inf. and was in the battle of Manila Bay, Iloilo, and others. He died unmarried Aug. 13, 1906. 3. Dr. Lewis Nicholas, born Dec. 18, 1853; graduated in medi­ cine at the University of Louisville in 1874, and became the partner of his brother; died unmarried on April 27, 1888.

Fifth Generation 4. DR. ENOCH EDGAR HUME, eldest son of Lewis Hume and Lamira Douglas McGee, was born on his grandfather's farm in Trimble County, Ky., March 24, 1844. When b.e was about two years of age, his father removed to Spen­ cer County, where Edga,r's maternal grandfather had other farms. He was educated in the Louisville Public Schools and at Mt. Washington Academy, where he took up the study of medicine. When the Civil War broke out, young Hume decided to enlist in the service of the Confederacy, for all of the family on both sides were Southern sympathizers. While attempt­ ing to leave home, he and his grandfather, Enoch McGee, were arrested by the Union authorities. Mr. McGee, a wealthy landowner, had given of his means to equip soldiers

70 THE HUME FAMILY for "Dixie." The grandfather was released on account of his age, but the grandson was sent to Camp Chase, Ohio, a Union military prison. While a prisoner here he "bunked" with C. Elmer Vreeland. A sketch of the prison, drawn by Mr. Vreeland, and sent to Miss Ida Belle Smith (afterwards Mrs. Vreeland) shows the quarters occupied by himself and Hume. The letters to Edgar from his mother during the War tell of many hardships and graphically picture the horrors of civil warfare. One gives an account of the hanging in his own front yard of a boy of the neighborhood for attempting to join the Confederate forces. After the War, the family thereby having lost all they possessed, "except the bare land," Edgar, still desiring to study medicine, resolved not to be a burden on the family. He therefore went to Clearfield County, Penn., where he managed a lumber camp for about a year and a half. He always said that this open air life gave him the strong con­ stitution for which he was afterwards famous. On his return to Kentucky he entered the Medical Depart­ ment of the University of Louisville, where he studied un­ der the three Yandells, Theodore Bell, Gross, and others. He was graduated in 1869 after prepa,ring a thesis on "Te­ tanus." At the suggestion of his friends, he went to Cam­ den, a small town in the neighboring county of Anderson, to practice his profession. While in Camden he was the room­ mate of James Beauchamp Clark (Champ Clark), after­ wards .Speaker of the House of Representatives, who was at that time a school teacher. Mr. Clark was later candidate for the Presidency of the United States, but was defeated in the Baltimore Convention by Hon. Woodrow Wilson. The friendship of the fathers of Clark and Hume has already been mentioned and it was on this account that young Clark came to Camden to teach. Clark and Hume joined the Ma­ sons the same night, both of their fathers having been members of this fraternity. On page 102 of Vol. I of "My Quarter Century of American Politics" Champ Clark wrote: "At Camden, in Anderson County, I had many friends, three of whom rendered me most timely financial assistance when I needed it THE HUME FAMILY 71 most. They were Uncle Billie Stephens, a well-to-do farmer; Dr. Thomas H. Hudson, now a prominent physician in Kansas City; and Dr. E. E. Hume who recently died, after being for years the leading physician at Frankfort, Kentucky. Hume and I boarded and roomed together at the hospitable home of Uncle Billie, who was a remarkable personage. * * * Dr. Enoch Edgar Hume was a large, robust, handsome man, who turned no one sick or afflicted away. He at­ tended all, white or black, rich or poor, pay or no pay. He rode for miles around, in all sorts of weather, to attend his patients. He was the first physician to treat Gov. William Goebel when he was assassinated. By rooming with him for two years I learned the hardships, incon­ veniences, and sacrifices of a country doctor's life. From that day to this I have had a high opinion of and deep sympathy with country doctors. This began with the love and admiration I had for Doctor Hume. He was a splendid physician, and no nobler man ever breathed. God bless him in his grave! His only son, Edgar, is now a surgeon in the army, making a splendid record and with a magnificent prospect." Friendships of the Humes and Clarks were represented in the third generation by Genevieve Clark and Eleanor Hume who attended Friends School in Washington together. After practicing medicine in Camden three years, ,Doctor Hume went to New York for further study. He was here the pupil of the elder Janeway, Sayer, Flint, Loomis, Simms, and others. He was graduated from the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1875 and also took special work at the Manhattan Eye and Ear Infirmary and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons (now the Medical Department of Columbia University). While in New York he was, without his knowledge, brought out as candidate for the lower house of the Ken­ tucky Legislature, by the Democrats of Anderson County. On his return he was elected and represented the county in the session of 1875-77. At the end of this time he declined a unanimous nomination for the S,ta,te Senate. He was mar­ ried in Frankfort the same year. In the spring of 1880 he removed to Frankfort where he practiced medicine very successfully for over thirty years. During this time he practiced in the family of every Gover­ nor of the State. He had been for many years the friend of Senator William Goebel and was his physician during his twelve yea,rs as Senator. When Mr. Goebel was shot on Jan­ ury 31, 1900, he was, at his own request, taken at once to Doctor Hume's office, then in the Capital Hotel. Doctor Hume had charge of the case until Goebel's death on Feb­ ruary 3rd. At the same time Doctor Hume was visiting the 12 THE HUME FAMILY

Governor's Mansion three times a day where the daughter of Governor Taylor was very ill. He is said to have been the only outsider who went through the lines of soldiers into the Mansion during this unhappy period. In recognition of his services to his brother, Arthur Goebel requested that he be made a member of the Goebel Monument Commission, of which Governor McCreary was chairman. Doctor Hume was at different times President of the Franklin County Medical Society, the Kentucky Midland Medical Society, and the Association of Railway Surgeons. He was one of the founders of each of the above bodies. He was a member of many medical and surgical societies and associations. No man in the State was more active in reforms and ad­ vances- of all kinds. He was one of those who worked for the passage of bills to improve the Kentucky River, build up the roads of the State, etc. He was untiring in his efforts to keep the seat of government at Frankfort, at the time that other cities in the state were making such efforts to have it removed. He and certain other citizens never rested in this work until the question was finally settled by the Leg­ islature's passing the act to build the new Capitol at Frankfort. From 1905 to 1909 Doctor Hume was Mayor of Frankfort. He gave the city one of the most businesslike and morally clean administrations in its history. Without borrowing money, selling any of the city's property, issuing bonds, or otherwise extending the credit of the municipaHty, he met all financial demands placed upon it and compassed substan­ tial public improvements never before attempted. He was <1 great worker in behalf of the common schools of the State and called a meeting of the teachers at Mam­ moth Cave in the summer of 1907 and helped to form the Kentucky Educational Association, an organization which has done much in the advancement of teaching in Kentucky. Besides this he was deeply interested in the education of the negro. He believed tha,t in this way the economic efficiency of the race could be greatly increased, thus benefiting all classes. He was instrumental in the establishment of, and THE HUME FAMILY 73 for :many years was chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Kentucky Colored Normal School and during this time instituted many improvements. He was greatly be­ loved by the colored people of Kentucky, who, as a token of their appreciation of his kindness to them, presented him with a, gold ring and named one of the buildings of their normal school for him. Dr. Hume's health had been failing for several years and on January 1, 1909, he decided to retire from active prac­ tice. His brother-in-law and partner, Dr. John Glover South, continued to practice after Doctor Hume's retire­ ment. During the remainder of his life, Doctor Hume con­ tinued his interest in things not medical, and indeed on the day before his dea,th, he approved certain plans for improve­ ments at the Colored Normal School. During his last months, Doctor Hume left home only once. On this occasion he went with his son to the polls to vote for his old friend, James Bennett McCreary, for Governor. This was the father's last, and the son's first vote. Doctor Hume died at his home "The Magnolias," in South Frankfort July 5, 1911, one of the most universally beloved men the city and State had ever known. He was buried in the Frankfort Cemetery beside his parents and brother. Dr. Enoch Edgar Hume married on Dec. 19, 1877, at the Christian Church, Frankfort, Ky., Mary, eldest daugh­ ter of Col. Samuel South and his wife Malvery Blackwell Jett. Col. Samuel South had been a soldier of the Confed­ eracy. He was severely wounded at Chickamauga and was voted a Medal of Honor by the Confederate Congress for gallantry in action. He was the eldest son of Col. Jeremiah Weldon South and his wife, Mary Magdaline Cockrell. Col. Jeremiah South served for many yea.rs in the Kentucky Legislature, both in the House and Senate. He raised a regi­ ment for the Mexican War, but Kentucky's quota being full, he was not allowed to go to the front. He had six sons and three sons-in-law in the Confederate Army. He was the eldest surviving son of Gen. Samuel South, who served in his father's command in the Revolution; was commissioned Captain in 1792, and served in several of tbe Indian Cam- 74 THE HUME FAMILY

paigns. He was Colonel of the Kentucky Mounted Volun­ teers in the War of 1812. At the battle of New Orleans he was breveted General for bravery. He was for many years in the Kentucky Legislature and during this time was de­ feated for Speaker by Henry Clay by but one vote. He was Treasurer of Kentucky 1818-26. He was the eldest sur­ viving son of Major John South, who served in the Cherokee Indian Expedition, and was an officer of the Kentucky Troops during the Revolution. Major John South and his family were in Boonesboro and some of his letters have been preserved. In one, written at the request of the in­ habitants of the fort to Gen. George Rogers Clark, he asks for aid against the Indians and offers his services and those of the men on the expedition against the Indian towns. He ,> was for a time in command of Fayette County Militia, and represented that county in Kentucky's first Legislature. The great-grandfather of Mary South on her mother's side was Steph_en Jett, a soldier of the War of 1812, and one of the Kentuckians who fought with Texas in the Revolu­ tion of 1836, when that State won her independence of Mex­ ico. John Jett, the father of Stephen, was an officer of the Virginia, Navy during the Revolution. Mary South was fifth in descent from Hiram Bryant, who was the son of Captain William Bryant, the founder of Bryant's Station. Mary South was a great-great-grandniece of Daniel Boone, the pioneer. Lieut. John Glover, great-great-grandfather of Mary South was in the Revolution, Indian Wars following, and · War of 1812. Ensign Simon Cockrell, another great-grand­ father, served in the Revolution and Indian Wars. His let­ ters to the Governor of Virginia have been published. He was a member of the Virginia Assembly and represented Clay County in the first Missouri Legislature. His father­ in-law was John Vardaman, a soldier of the French and In­ dian War, and the Revolution. John Vardaman was the ancestor of the present Senator Vardaman of Mississippi. Mary South Hume died at the home of her brother Dr. John Glover South at Frankfort, Ky., on April 17, 1915. She was born at Jackson, Kentucky, on October 16, 1858.

At the time of the final offensive on the Piave, Colonel Hume volun­ teered to organize a number of surgical groups for front line service. These groups served with the 3rd, 4th, and 8th Italian Armies and were directed by Colonel Hume in person.

"At the time of the final offensive on the Piave he established three dressing stations at the front lines for the purpose of render­ ing first aid. He personally supervised the work of the stations 78 THE HUME FAMILY visiting them in turn. By his coolness and courage while exposed to danger and by his disregard of his personal safety he set a wonderful example to those under him. His services clearly merit the award of this distinction. G. Montuori, Registered No. 5406. Lieutenant General Commanding the Army." The Hospital Center continued to serve in the Italian War Zone until February, 1919, when it was ordered home. During the epidemic of influenza it had the lowest death rate of any organization in the Army.

We congratulate his government on having an officer so worthy of the name and a man of such sterling qualities to represent it abroad. Slavko Miletitch, Minister of Public Health."

Fifth Generation CHARLES CONNOR HUME, son of Charles Hume and Frances Virginia Rawlins Hume. A stained-glass window placed by his brother Frank Hume, in the Pickewaxen Epis­ copal Church, Charles Co., Md., bears this inscription, "In memory of Maj. Charles C. Hume, C. S. A., son of Charles and Frances Virginia Hume; born in Culpeper County, Va., Feb. 2, A. D. 1842; died May 20, 1863, in this vicinity in the line of duty-a brave young hero in the Army of Northern Virginia." He had been engaged in the dangerous service of passing through the lines of the enemy confronting the Army of Northern Virginia, gathering information, and re­ passing and communicating the results to General J. E. B. Stuart. On one of these trips he was killed near Pickewaxen Church, and in the church yard buried, nearby the window bearing the inscription above recorded. He was unmarried. 9. HON. FRANK HUME was born July 21; 1843, in Cul­ peper, Va. He removed to Washington, where he was edu- HON. FRANK H UME 92 THE HUME FAMILY cated. Espousing the cause of his native South, as hi3 brother Charles also did, he promptly enlisted in the Volun­ teer Southrons, Company A, 21st Mississippi Regiment, Humphrey's Brigade, Longstreet's Corps, Army of North­ ern Virginia, May 15, 1861, because three of his kinsmen were in this famous Company. He participated in thirteen principal battles of the War, remaining in the field until the end of the hostilities. He was severely wounded at the bat­ tle of Gettysburg. Besides being a successful wholesale merchant in Wash­ ington, D. C., he was also connected as director in several large and important business enterprises. He was desirous of having pure food laws passed by Congress, and was largely instrumental in the great success of the first Pure Food Congress, which was held in Washington, he being vice-president of the Convention. He served four terms in the Virginia Legislature. On June 22, 1870, in Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, D. C., Rev. Thomas Addison officiating, he married Miss Emma Phillips Norris, daugh­ ter of Hon. John Edmund Norris and Eliza Tydings (Phil­ lips) Norris. Mr. Norris was a prominent lawyer and poli­ tician of Washington, but was formerly of Virginia. Mr. Hume owned the beautiful and valuable estate of "War­ wick" in Arlington County, Virginia, just across the Po­ tomac River from Washington, where he entertained his friends in true old Virginia style. He also had a winter home in Washington. He died at the latter place July 17, 1906, and was buried in Ivy Hill Cemetery near his Virginia estate, about one and one-half miles from Alexandria. Mr. Hume was a public-spirited man, taking much inter­ est in everything pertaining to his native State. He was a man of strong personality, broad views, strict integrity, and unassuming manners. He was sincere in his friendship and socially very companionable, winning the confidence of all who were brought in personal contact with him. He was always extremely interested in everything pertaining to his ancestry, and early began to collect valuable books and man­ uscripts, also interesting paintings and pictures of the an­ cestral castles in Scotland, and eminent members of the THE HUME FAMILY 93

Hume family. He and his wife visited Col. and Mrs. David Milne-Home at Caldrn in the fall of 1900, and accompanied by them, made interesting trips to many handsome estates in the possession of members of the Hume family. Wedder­ burn Castle, with its grand double staircase of fine marble, its handsome mantels and old furniture, was of especial interest to them, having been the birthplace of George Hume, who came to America. They visited Marchmont House, an estate which consisted of over 14,000 acres, and the property of Sir Hugh Hume Purvis Campbell; also the ruins of Hume Castle; old Fogo Church, and many other places of interest to members of the Hume family. Several years later their daughters, Mrs. Lynn Horner, and Mrs. Henry C. Jewett, and the latter's husband Maj. Jewett, were entertained for a week at Wedderburn Castle by Col.

JOHN HUME, SR., THIRD SON OF EMIGRANT GEORGE HUME

JOHN HUME was born in 1732 or 1733, and a,t the age of 11 years was taken by his uncle, James Hume, Captain in the British Navy, and placed on board his vessel, H. M. S. South Sea Castle, then lying at Norfolk, or Hampton Roads, to protect the Colonial Commerce against Spanish and French privateers. Young Hume was put in school at Nor­ folk, where he remained during the greater part of the year 1744. Here he studied arithmetic and navigation. In 17 45 he went with his uncle to sea, and visited London, Ports­ mouth, and Dover during his travels. After having been three years at sea, he went with his uncle to Scotland, and remained eleven months at the home of his grandmother, the Countess of Hume. In 1748 he and his cousin Ninian Hume returned to America. In 1766 he married Helinor Manson, of Long Lane, Boston, Mass. (From Hume Family, by Dr. John R. Hume.) His daugh­ ter Eleanor married --- Simpson. For some years he and his1 son John, Jr., wer1: engaged in the salmon industry. Their children were as follows: John, m. Nancy Webb, and was the progenitor of the Humes on the Pacific Coast. Charles, who was an American soldier in the War of 1812, was captured by British and died of privation on shipboard the same year.

WILLIAM HUME, FOURTH SON OF EMIGRANT GEORGE As Copied From Book (Revised) of Dr. John R. Hume March 3, 1926. Mr. W. E. Brockman, Minneapolis, Minn. My dear Kinsman: I wish to commend you for your splendid effort in getting up the excellent work on the Hume line which your book contains, so far as I have been. able to examine the proof it seems to be eminently correct. As I am the pioneer in the line of Hume genealogy, I feel a deep interest in the work and wish for you the highest success. Regarding the William Hume controversy about which you wrote me, there is no controversy among the informed. We have the dear old hero safely buried in the old family graveyard by the side of his wife in the Georgetown, Ken­ tucky, cemetery where his ashes have slumbered for more than a century. Under the slab placed there by his execu­ tor and devoted son Gerard B. (Jarred) Hume a century ago. We have his wife's gra,ve also marked; and a connected • 100 THE HUME FAMILY line of his posterity down to the present hour, living within a few miles of his resting place, some quite nearer. We have his Will and the order of probate and the discharge from his executorship after almost a half century of proba­ tion, the demise of one executor and the appointment of another. The Will may be found of record in the archives of the County of Pendleton, Kentucky, in the City of Fal­ mouth. A descendant of his, one J. C. Hume, was Clerk of the Court some years ago when I visited the place and gave me the entire record. I also have many receipts, deeds, slave deeds, Wills, family records, transcripts of testimony, Certificates of Attorney­ ship in fact, furnished by non-resident heirs to their kin for purposes of administration, they having moved away from Kentucky. I have also his commissions as a lieutenant first in the Kentucky State Militia in Indian days, then that of his son, Joel B., first as a Lieutenant, then a Captain, and finally as a major, in which capacity he went with Jackson on many of his Indian fighting expeditions. I have many family letters from the absent brothers and sisters and their husbands and wives after the emigration to Illinois as late as 1843. _ These letters contain many warm controver­ sies over the relative merits of Jackson and Clay, one dear brother-in .Jaw asserting at one time that he would never write one of those funny old letters of his that it cost 25c to send from Adams County, Illinois, to Falmouth, Kentucky, till Henry Clay was elected President, but he did, as evidence in my possession will show. These ancient papers bear dates from 1770 in Fauquier County, Virginia, to 1843, Adams County, Illinois, and are signed by old William Hume, son of George, the Scotch Emigrant, his sons, George, my grand sire, Gerrard B., his executor, and Joel B., his son, as well as by some of their numerous progeny, whom ! quite distinctly recall. We have a hand painted picture of him painted in Virginia by a daughter of Chas. Hume, William's Brother. But there were two Williams in Kentucky, William of Pendleton, our William, and William of Bourbon, his nephew, some years his junior, son of Kentucky George, as THE HUME FAMILY 101 we call him old Scotch George's eldest son, and the Execu­ tor as his will printed in my book will show consequently our ancestor's nephew. Then there were three other Williams in our line, John had a William James who married the Patterson woman in Pennsylvania, and a son William born in about 1790 aild emigrated with his brother Andrew to Marion County, Ohio, and Charles had a son by that name of whom I have not much information except that he was some years older than the Pennsylvanian. Respectfully, John Robert Hurne, M. D., Wedderburn Farms, Doniphan, Mo. WILLIAM HUME, FOURTH SON OF EMIGRANT GEORGE HUME, was born at Fredericksburg, Va., about 1734. Of the little that is known concerning his life, most of that little relates to his childhood. He seems to have manifested from infancy a very decided liking for letters, and had before his majority attained quite a distinction in learning. He seems, according to tradition handed down by J. B. Hume, Esq., lately deceased, a grandson of his and Lewis Hume, grandfather of Dr. Jno. R. Hurne, who spent much of their infancy and boyhood at the old gentle­ man's side, to have attended the same school as did George Washington, and to have been flogged by the same dozing, drowsy Mr. Williams at Wakefield, as had the honor of being the only man who ever flogged the redoubtable hero of Yorktown. Many oral tales are extant in the family con­ cerning adventures not at all Washingtonian, of these young knights errant. One of which is backed by history and will bear repetition, is the adventure made on a Sunday after­ noon in taming a refractory colt, which seems to have been a very spirited one, and sacrificed its life in a hurdle race over the hillside ditches with Washington on its back and Hume at its halter. Most of these tales are traditionary and per­ haps badly mutilated, and I do not give them as history, but as evidence of history, that is of the fact of the com­ panionship of these men in their boyhood, as a reason why 102 THE HUME FAMILY

Hume in his later years should break away from other mem­ bers of the family and join his cause with that of the Colon­ ists and fight against his own kinsmen who came with Fer­ guson from Scotland and died for England under the guns of Washington, at Guildford C.H. and King's Mountain. Wm. Hume attended college somewhere in his native col­ ony. Tradition points to Staunton, but reason seems to suggest that his college was a private school of common grade. There were several such schools in Fredericksburg, as in other colonial towns, where gentlemen's sons might get the elements of an education which would befit them for the object toward which every colonist boy of that period turned his longing gaze-a course at Oxford, Cam­ bridge, Eton or Harvard. He studied law, and at the age of twenty married a Miss Susan Elzephan, daughter of a wealthy planter of South Carolina, who bore him a son, to whom he gave the name of Alexander. This is supposed on very good authority to have been the Alexander Hume who was lieutenant in the 2d South Carolina regiment and fell with Sergeant Jasper the second day after his enlistment at Savannah, Georgia, Octo­ ber 9, 1777. Weems, in his life of Marion, tells the story of his death most beautifully (Mrs. Ellett in her Romance of Revolution at p. 176 also tells the story) (See page 70.). While there is no absolute certainty at this time that this is the man, probability is strong to that effect. William Hume lived in South Carolina at the time of the birth of his son. That son bore the patromynic of his ancient ancestor, Alexander. He was reared by his ma­ ternal grandparents at Charleston, S. C. There were no other Humes in South Carolina at that date. Tradition in the family points to a death so described. Hume's wife died leaving two sons, and after her death Wil­ liam came home to Virginia and married a Miss Gran­ ville and located on the frontier and engaged in keeping a store, in which business he seems to have been quite suc­ cessful for some years. By his second marriage he had five so:n,s and one daughter, as follows: Rev. George, who came to Kentucky, Jarred, who served with his father and THE HUME FAMILY 103 brother in the Revolutionary War. The former with Wash­ ington and the latter with Wayne-his old papers say a staff officer. His family have an old powder-horn picked upon the field at Yorktown and kept as a memento of the surrender. (I have that powder horn.-Dr. J. R. Hume.) Rev. Geo. Hume, third son of William, first child by sec­ ond marriage, was born in Culpeper, Va., in 1756. He se­ cured a liberal education· early in life and engaged in the calling of a merchant; but at the age of twenty-two he en­ listed with his father in the war against England and was appointed chaplain of his regiment, which was with Wash­ ington through the entire campaign and was discharged at Alexandria, 1781. Immediately after coming home he mar­ ried Elizabeth--Proc-ter, his second cousin, and 'made a home for hii motherless brothers and sister after the death of their mothe11; his father married again in 1782, and as George had a daughter and a son at this time the father and son gathered their families together and came across the mountains to Kentucky. George had been ordained a preacher in the Baptist Church and tradition says that on each Sunday the colony composed of the Humes, Roberts, Sleetes, Ellises, Shelbys, Floyds, Procters, Sturgeons, Bal­ lards, Hinds, Greggs and many others would assemble around the camp-fire and listen to the fiery eloquence of this man of God, as he preached to them the Gospel that was to be the strongest power in civilization of their country. Chil­ dren in this party who were old and in their second child­ hood when I was a child have recited in my presence the early impression made upon their minds by the deep spir­ itual fervor and the strong and holy beauty of these occa­ sions, as seated about on the trunks of fallen trees, the children at play among the flowers. The younger and stronger men standing picket against Indians, sang in holy harmony some old Scottish song or psalm sacred to cove­ nanting days, which seemed to be wafted upward and to be taken up by the voices of angels. After which Hume or Sleete, the preachers in the party, read an extempore ser­ mon, all hearts joined in a prayer, another soul-reaching song, and worship was ended for the day. Such was the 104 THE HUME FAMILY formation of the sturdy character of these hardy pioneers; such was the intensely religious spirit that made up the early life of the West and gave direction to its after course. Many of these families were branches of noble families of Great Britain, and many are the Jacobite or covenanting songs warbled by the Kentucky child of today who knows nothing of the meaning of the "Bonny Prince Charlie" that he sings about, and that mayhaps sent his ancestors as refugees to the wilderness. Yet there is the old spirit of chivalry in his veins as true as that which marked the days of feudalism and shed its blood with the Humes, Lees, Ran­ dolphs, Campbells, Douglasses and others at Flodden Hill or Agincourt. The religious fervor of these people is as fervent as that of those who went with Montrose, or Spots­ wood, singing, to the execution block. Had it not been for these hardy spirits who carved this country out of the desert, scarcely could she have borne the fearful burdens of treachery, viciousness and crime that fought with England, first against our country for England's paltry gold, and next sought our shores as a city of refuge where the hand of justice might be stayed. Elzephan Hurne, fifth son of William, was born in Vir­ ginia, about 1760. He was a surveyor, and came to Ohio, and assisted in surveying the village of Losantiville, now the city of Cincinnati. A queer co-incidence is that in this work Elza Hume, paternal greatuncle and Col. John Bene­ field, maternal great-grandfather of the writer of this page, were associates and fellow-workmen. Israel Benefiel, my grandfather, my mother's father, was born in the old fort at Cincinnati, in 1806. Elza Hume married there about the same time. Betsy Hume-Coleman was maternal ancestor of the Cole­ mans of Kentucky and Indiana. Several of her descendants have married in later years, into the family lines as we shall see later on. Patrick Hume, who was born in the heated days of 1776, was an infant in arms when his mother died. His father was then in the Virginia State troops in the colonial service. The home was destroyed and the mother died. The father THE HUME FAMILY 105

returned and found his sons all scattered and his wife dead. He collected them together at the home of his son, George, at Culpeper and in 1782 married a widow named Sarah Baker, and came with his family to Kentucky and lived near the present town of Walton for some years. He died in 1821 at Rising Sun, Ind., and is buried there. Of his third marriage nothing is definitely known. The marriage record gives the date, and tradition describes the woman, but no date is given of her death, which is supposed to have occurred in Kentucky. She left no issue. The character and habits of William Hume seem to have differed from oth­ ers of his family in many particulars. Some of the others were loyal to the King. But William following the destiny of the colonial government which cost him seven years of blood and poverty, sacrificing on the altar of his country his home and his fortune, and at the close of the struggle he denied the claim of his Tory relationship, moved away from among them and made an effort to lose trace of them in Kentucky's forest; but an old negro servant of the family came over the mountains to nurse her "pooh orphin chiluns" and told the story of the family history. Afterward William Hume became reconciled to his Tory brothers and returned on a visit to his childhood home. He died in 1809, thirty years after the war ended. He survived longer than any of the six sons of George Hume, Sr., except James, who died in 1821. Wm. Hume adopted the faith of his mother and lived and died a devoted member of the old line Baptist Church, which has been the hereditory creed of the George Hume, Jr., and William Hume lines to the present day. Of the sons of William Hume information is quite authen­ tic in the principal sentiment. William, by his marriage with Miss Elzephan, of Charles­ ton, had two children and possibly more, John and Alexan­ der are the names that remain, but which of the two is the older we do not know. Alexander was reared by his grand­ parents and educated to a station becoming his rank and birth, and was 20 years of age at the outbreak of the war with England, his Maternal Ancestors being enlisted in the struggle for liberty. Young Hume was enlisted in the same 106 T'HE HUME FAMILY

cause in 1777, when the Immortal Second South Carolina regiment was organized at Charleston, and the Historic Silken banner made by the ladies was presented to them, young Hume, a Lieutenant, was one of the officers to whom the precious. banner was given, Sergeant Jasper and Private Busche, both of whom fell with him, on the second day of his enlistment, were the others of his famous trio. Weems in his life of Marion, page 70, tells of this glorious band and their heroic deaths. Busche fell by the flag he had sworn to save, Hume snatched it from his death cold hand and mounting to the top of the parapet waved its silken folds before the shattered army. Scarcely had the cheer died out upon his lips and the flag set in its place, when a ball pierced the heart of young Hume, and he fell across the body of his dead comrade, the banner was rescued again by a French officer whose name is not given, and a third time its shattered bars were swung to the breeze, but the enemy again laid its defender low and the colors falling over the works among the British were about to be lost, it was at this time that Jasper leaped over the works down among the enemy and saved the flag. Next morning, the soldier who buried the dead, found young Hume, Busche and the Frenchman, lying together where they fell. In a golden locket upon Hume's bosom was the picture of Miss Cruickshank, of Charleston, to whom he was soon to have been marriecl_ John Hume, the other of the two children by the first wife, is said by some to have been older than Alexander, this would seem quite probable, as he was taken with his father to Virgi;1ia, and reared there by a step-mother, his life in his boyhood is not very clear, he told his children he had been in 3cotland, and his descendants. have many souvenirs of Scotland which were brought to America by John or his father William. John Hume married a Miss -l&ng, and had by her two sons, one of them predeceasd him. The other was reared by his mother's people, who came from that colony, Charleston, S. C. John marrie::l second Miss Jeane Glenn, a lady of Scottish parentage, and with her came to--'Long Run, Ky., where he located in THE HUME FAMILY 107

1783. At this time he had a family of four children, John; William, Sarah, and a fourth daughter who married Chris­ tian Young. He took up a large grant of land, and lived and prospered until 1798, when his health failing, he made his will, and died in 1802. Once he and his sons, who were with him, and were driv­ ing some cows, when they were captured by a roving band of Indians. John, the older son, escaped and ran fourteen miles to Shelbyville, notified the Governor, who sent Col. Floyd with twenty men to rescue Hume and his son. Floyd supposing the band to be merely a small detachment, rushed into the ambuscade with all his men and was almost annihilated. Fourteen of his men lost their lives. Hume escaped, but his son John, fell defending his father. A mere boy of sixteen fought against a large band of Indians until his father escaped, and then trying to make his own escape was struck down. His body lies under the shaft erected by the legislature of Kentucky, with fourteen of Floyd's men. William Hume, son of John, lived until 1790, when he died of smallpox. Sarah, daughter of John Hume and Jeane Glenn his wife, married Thomas Sturgeon in 1786. Hon. Isaac H. Sturgeon has told the story of their descent and it is to him we will give credit for the following: Hume-8turgeon Letters. 1834. Having learned through Mr. James E. Yeatman, of St. Louis, Mo.­ a conneetion of Mrs. Sturgeon-that he knew a gentleman by the name of Hume, whose relatives had attended the Convention of Humes in Philadelphia to try to trace the Hume kin oi:, heirs, I got his address and this copy in reply. Clarkville, Tenn., April 5, 1861. Isaac H. Sturgeon, Esq.: Dear Sir: Your letter of the 12th is received and I regret that I cannot give you the desired information. I never saw the advertise­ ment referred to. In the year 1834 or 1835, Joseph E. Elliston, of Nashville (now dead), asked me the name of my grandfather, where born, residence, number of children, names, etc., etc., and informed me that a gentle­ man by the name of Hume had died in Scotland, leaving a large amount of money, etc., to be divided among his relatives; but we found out that we were not related to him, so failed to get a share. This is all 108 THE HUME FAMILY

I can tell you about it. I have forgotten the name of the Hume who died. If, however, I can serve you in any way in making inquiry with regard to the matter I will be happy to do so. Yours truly, W. T. HARRIS.

The following is a copy of a letter from my father's brother, Hume Sturgeon, who died some years ago in Franklin, Johnson County, Ind.:

My dear Nephew: At this time we are all as well as common. I hope when these lines reach you they may find you in good health. * * * Jane or Jennie and James Forsyth, according to Mrs. Alice M. French of Indianapolis, had a son, John Hume Forsyth, who married Sarah Ann Hughes. Their daughter, Ermina, married Joseph Jef­ ferson Moore, and had a daughter Alice M. Moore, who married Mr. E. M. French. Mr. French died several years ago. Mrs. French has a grown son. James Forsyth (son of my father's sister, Jane Sturgeon, who mar­ ried Thos. Forsyth) was wanting to know where Grandfather Hume was born. To the best of my recollection he was born in Scotland. I can recollect that it was published in the papers; that there was a large estate left John Hume and other sons of George Hume, who were last heard from in the United States. Your affectionate uncle, HUME STURGEON.

My uncle, Trammel Conn, who married my father's sister, Nancy Sturgeon (both are dead), wrote me as follows in regard to my great­ grandfather, John Hume.

Long Run, April 1, 1869. Mr. Isaac H. Sturgeon: Dear Nephew: This leaves us all well at' present. * * * I received your letter some time ago; but delayed answering it until I saw Peggy Collins and others. (Peggy Collins was my father's sister, and married a prosperous ~nd estimable man named Levi Collins-both are dead). Uncle Trammel says: I send you two land warrants assigned by Bland Ballard to your great-grandfather, Jno. Hume. Also a letter from Humes Long, of Millerstown, Vir­ g1ma. You see he calls your great-grandfather, uncle. His first wife must have been a Long, judging from the letter, and that he married her in Virginia. His last wife was a Glenn. Her connections live in Shelby County, Kentucky. Peggy Collins says that a long time ago-twenty-five years or longer-a man named Philip Young got up a paper that a Hume had died in Scotland and left a large estate to her son, Mr. Hume, and he was going there to see about it. Nothing ever came of it. Peggy Collins says she recollects that her Grandfather Hume said her father's name was John, and he was named after him. Your affectionate uncle, T. CONN. THE HUME FAMILY 109

JOHN HUME, GREAT GRANDFATHER OF ISAAC H. STURGEON

My information is that my greatgrandfather, John Hume, came from Scotland,* and first settled in Virginia and after­ ward moved to Kentucky. I do not know the year he came to the United States, nor when he moved to Kentucky. My understanding is that he was married twice. His first wife was a Long and lived in Virginia. I learn that he had two children by his second wife, and both children died. He then married Miss Jane Glenn, of Shelby County, Kentucky, and had by this wife two sons and a daughter.* His sons were named John and William. William died of smallpox and John was killed by Indians, in defending his father, who escaped, but was wounded and recovered. His daugh­ ter was named Sarah. She married my grandfather, Thomas Sturgeon, 11 of April, 1786. They both died in 1845. They had a large family-five sons and five daugh­ ters. I have only the date of my father's birth-30th day of October, 1793. He died September 5, 1822. His wife-my mother-was born December 25, 1791, and died July 13, 1833, leaving three sons, Edward T., Isaac H. and Thomas L. Sturgeon. Edward and Thomas are both dead. Thomas died July 11, 1857, Edward July 6, 1885. Isaac (myself) alone is living. The names of my grandfather and mother's children­ all dead-were: sons, (1) John Hume, (2) Simpson, (3) James, (4) Hume, (5) Thomas. John Hume Sturgeon mar­ ried Nancy Netherton and had a large family. I do not know who James and Hume married. Thomas Sturgeon, Jr., married Elizabeth Tyler, my mother, August 25, 1816. The daughters were as follows: (1) Jane, (2) Mary (Polly), (3) Nancy, (4) Elizabeth, (5) Margaret (Peggy). Jane married her first cousin, Thomas La~ Sturgeon, Nancy married Tramel Conn. Elizabeth married Thomas

*This is a mistake. He was born in Culpeper County, Va., but traveled on the ocean and in S.cotland. *It has since been learned that a second daughter married Christian Young and left issue (see will) a Mr. Young probably of this line, once tried to get up an interM est in the Scotch E'states. 110 THE HUME FAMILY

Eaton, and had two sons. Margaret (Peggy) married Levi Collins, and they had a large family. I have track now of most' of this generation. They are scattered all over the country-Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Kansas, Iowa and other States. I lacked five days of being a year old when my father died-September 5, 1822. I was only eleven years old when my mother died. When I was about seven years old most of the Sturgeons moved from Kentucky and settled in Johnson County, In­ diana, around Franklin, the county seat, and Trafalgar, a small village in that county. When my mother died, July 13, 1833, I and my brothers went to live with my mother's brother, Robert Tyler and his wife, Mary Lawrence Chambers Tyler. They were very kind to us. It was long after I was grown, before I knew where my Sturgeon relatives lived after they went to In­ diana; but now, November 14, 1901, I have track of all or most of them. I got my name from my grandmother Tyler's side. Her mother's and father's names were Isaac and Leah Hughes. My grandfather Tyler married their daughter, and they named one of their sons Isaac Hughes, after Grandma Tyler's father. So, when I was born my father and mother named me Isaac Hughes Sturgeon, after mother's brother, Isaac. He was a fine man, well educated and a fine lawyer. Five of my grandfather Tyler's sons became lawyers; viz.: Isaac W., Edward, Robert, John W. and Charles Tyler. Sam­ uel died at twenty years of age. Levi the oldest was a good lawyer; but never practiced. They had seven sons and three daughters. Nelly died when two years old; Elizabeth married my father, and Mary married Allen How, one of the best of men. Several years ago, while on a business trip to Louisville, I decided to visit the home of my childhood and the graves of my father and mother. I hired a stonemason to take us up to the old Baptist Long Run Church. As we came back we crossed a field roamed over by cattle and I noticed two neglected graves unclosed, that cattle roamed over. I called THE HUME FAMILY 111

Mr. Johnson's attention to the graves and their neglect. Why, said he, they are the graves of your great-grandpa and ma Hume. I got him to go with me at once to Mr. Gregg, who owned the land, and I wanted to buy the acre around the graves. He would not sell; but said I could en­ close the graves with a heavy stone wall. In 1896 my cousin, Geo. W. Conn, wrote me that two lit­ tle walnut trees had grown up inside the walls, and the walls were out of order, I got him to have trees dug up and get new stone and lay the walls in cement. He has it done and so well done that it would take an earthquake to disturb the walls again. On September 1, 1897, the members of the Baptist Church decided to hold the Centennial of the old church, and I was asked to come to it. I had got hold of the ordination paper of My Uncle John, and the only hymn he ever tried to compose. I had them nicely printed and bound and sent to the church, and when I got there they had them hung up on the wall, one on each side of the pulpit. Uncle John has. a great-grandson living here, Rev. Menta Sturgeon, who was then, and is now, the minister of Tower Grove Baptist Church, in this city. *Hon. Isaac Hughes Sturgeon, the representative of the John Hume branch of William Hume's family was born in Kentucky, 1821, and is now, Nov. 10, 1902, 81 years old. His father, Thos. Sturgeon, Junior, died when the son was less than one year old, and left the mother with a family of three small children. The mother died before the lads had passed out of childhood into youth, and then they were left to the care of the Tyler relation. They being descendants of the Tyler family from which President Tyler came. In early manhood young Thomas entered the office of Hon. Warden Pope, of Louisville, Ky., and began the study of law, in which profession he was to be a bright and shin­ ing light. In 1855, young and buoyant, Mr. Sturgeon turned his back on the historic hills of his childhood and came to St. Louis. Then a struggling young village occupied by

*Ree note end of chapter. 112 THE HUME FAMILY a truly American population and pulsating with the best blood in the old South. Into this kindred stream young Sturgeon plunged and so well did he fit into his place as a · leader in the exclusive sets of the old city that he soon sought and won the hand of one of St. Louis' fairest daugh­ ters and in 1856 he led to the altar Miss Ann Celeste Allen, the light of whose sweet face yet sheds its benediction upon his way as together they watch for the going down sun. The Sturgeon Home is one of the few landmarks of Early St. Louis. Bellegarde they named the historic· pile when more than 50 years ago it lifted its stately walls from the hill top above the Lordly River in the midst of one of the richest plantations of the new west. This beautiful old mansion with its stately halls, its old statuary and pictures, its old furniture and books, once the gayest as it is now one of the quietest homes in the great city. Here in old Bellegarde, Mr. Sturgeon was married, here in this home, to one of the fair daughters of the family, Winston Churchill, the gifted young son of St. Louis, was married, and here only a few days ago, Lucretia, the beau­ tiful daughter of Mrs. and Mr. Sturgeon-their youngest, gave her heart and hand to Young Dr. Green, of this city, another scion of an old American family. During the fifty years of his residence in St. Louis Mr. Sturgeon has occupied the places of highest trust in the gift of the people, as well as federal appointments of high trust. Assistant U. S. Treasurer under Franklin Pierce, he has been a strong power in politics to the present time hav­ ing held federal appointments under every President from Pierce to McKinley. The City of St. Louis is indebted to him for saving it to the Union in the stormy days of '61. Being personally acquainted with Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Pope and the Presi­ dent he devined the efforts being made by the Confederates to capture the U. S. munitions of war at Jefferson Barracks and St. Louis, and secured an order from the War Depart­ ment for a guard sufficient to save the city from being taken by the rebels, and it was not a day too soon. For this intrepid conduct Mr. Sturgeon received a letter of thanks THE HUME FAMILY 113

from Secretary Stanton and President Lincoln. Mr. Sturgeon was for a long time president of the North · Missouri-now the Wabash Railroad. He has been succes­ sively elected comptroller of the city, and has filled other offices of trust in the city of St. Louis; retirlng only when he had crossed the border line of eighty years. His line is as follows : John Hume, killed by Indians in defending his father at time of Floyd's massacre, in Jeffer­ son County, Ky., February, 1783. He was but sixteen years of age but saved the life of his father, who was wounded, but recovered. His body was buried with the thirteen sol­ diers in a sink hole. The State of Kentucky has since erected a monument over this grave. William, younger son, died of smallpox about 1790. (1) John Hume Sturgeon married Nancy Netherton; reared a large family.

Eld. George Hume, oldest son of William Hume, by Gran­ ville Woman, was born in October, 1755, in the city of Fred­ ericksburg, Va., where his father was engaged in keeping a store. So old records read. Young Hume was nearer to the home of his maternal than his parental ancestors, and received most of his early training among them, and when he grew to manhood he married Elizabeth, eldest daughter of George Procter, Jr., his second cousin. This marriage oc­ curred in 1780, or 1781, soon after his return from a seven 116 THE HUME FAMILY years' service in the American Army, having with his father and brother served under the command of the older Hume's early playmate, Geo. Wa,shington. At the close of the struggle he found himself penniless; but having in 1782 received a patent for lands in the territory of Virginia, he came with his young family to what is now the State of Kentucky, and located at Harrodsburg. The Humes­ father and sons-belonged to a party of emigrants who came over the mountains together to found a church of their own faith in which Hume, Jr., was a preacher and of which all were members. On their arrival at their destination it was learned that all the lands near the city had been taken and that they would have to go to some remote point to get bodies of land sufficient size to locate-or "lay," as the early settlers called it-their warrants. So, accordingly John Hume, the older, as has been told, went to Long Run. George went northward to Campbell, one of the upper counties-so­ called. Jarred also went to the upper counties, and Elzephan went across the, river into Ohio, where he followed the call­ ing of a civil engineer, and was one of the party who plotted the city of Cincinnati, then known as Losantville. The daughter, Betsy, married a Mr. Coleman, of Virginia and lived near Lexington. Patrick was a lad of 10 or 12 years and lived with his father in Campbell County, at the home of Elder George. George Hume has two children born in Virginia, Anna, born in 1781, and John born in 1782, the latter being but a few weeks old when he was taken to Kentucky. At Har­ rodsburg William, the noted preacher, was born March 30, 1786. One daughter, Katie, and another son, Aquilla, also first saw the light at the same place. In 1791 the family came to the new home and erected a, cabin-a part of the present old house-and built a stockade around it, and here the other children were born to the first wife, who died in 1797. Lewis, 1793 ; Phoebe (Rice), 1795 ; Agnes, 1796 ; and an infant, which survived its mother only a few weeks. Here the father married a second time, 1799, and here was born the second family of children Elizabeth, George THE HUME FAMILY 117 and Sarah. The old house was remodeled in 1812, and is still standing in a good state of preservation. George Hume married for his second wife Susan Hutchin­ son, of her antecedents nothing is known. She died in 1819, and he, old and infirm, was drawn into-the weakest act of his life, a third marriage to a lady about his own age, living at Rising Sun, Ind. Her name is unknown. He survived this union but three or four months, and died at her home in Rising Sun, Ind. He was then pastor of a church near that place. The date of his death is not known, except that it occurred in 1821. He was buried at Rising Sun, Ind. His life was an active one. He established nearly all the churches of his denominations in Kentucky at that time, and preached to them until his death. Of his sons and daugh­ ters, part of the history is quite clear, part is lost. Anna Hume wa,s born in Virginia, in 1781; married Ed­ ward Stephens, and died in 1855.

The American patriot and Kentucky pioneer was born at Harrodsburg, Ky., March 30, 1786.

He could, on a still day be heard dis­ tinctly for more than a mile, and instances are yet recalled of his having been heard a distance of two miles when the air was still in the evening. Those who knew him say he was scarcely less original in his ministerial methods than Lorenzo Dow. He married Miss Betsy Aldrich and lived and reared his family on part of his father's early pre-emp­ tion in Kenton County, Ky. He died of cholera after having preached one of his most powerful sermons, July 8, 1849, and is buried in Independence cemetery; a beautiful monu­ ment maa:-ks his last resting place.

Procter of Fredericksburg, Va. Lewis was born August 8, 1793, in the old house still standing in Kenton County. He spent his childhood here among the Indians, and in the later days of his life it was his custom to sit for hours recounting the tales of the Kentucky frontier from his own life, and of the Revolu­ tionary war which he had from his grandfather, who died at his father's house, when he (Lewis) was 16 years old (1809). In 1799 when Lewis was six years old, the father took for his second wife Miss Susan Hutchinson and it seems that her lot as a stepmother was not strewn with flowers. The boys of the family were true sons of the forest, brought up to the freedom of the open woods a,nd fields. They, and especially the one of whom we write, refused to obey the gentle words of the new mother, and at the age of nine he was apprenticed to a tanner where he remained three years, but being unable any longer to endure the hardships of such life and longing for the freedom of his native hills, he ran away when he was not twelve years old and joined a camp of surveyors of which his uncle Elzephan Hume was a mem­ ber and became ax-man, chainman and scout, always doing his full part as a man. He rema,ined with these people until he was 17 years old, travelling in that capacity over a great part of Indiana. He was at Fort Knox, Indiana, in 1804, at Tippecanoe in 1810, the day after the battle he assisted in burying the dead and returned with Harrison to Vincennes. The twelve-mile strip, granted by the Kickapoo Indians to the settlers was part of his labors. The author remembers once as a child to have crossed this line in the company of his grandfather and to have been told that he assisted in surveying this line before he was grown (65 years ago). In 1812 the president issued a call for two more companies of troops to go to Canada, and join Commodore Perry. These companies were quickly raised and instead of two hundred men, 800 volunteered. The 200 being chosen from 124 THE HUME FAMILY the ranks of the Kentucky Scouts. Col. William Ellis was elected captain. Hume and one of his cousins from Madi­ son County, Ky., joined as privates and went with Ellis to Canada, but arriving at Malden about the time of Perry's famous battle on Lake Erie, were not sent to the front as the destinies of the war were fought out and won by the intrepid commodore before they could be put into commis­ sion. Hume remained with his command a,t Malden, Can., during the year 1812-13 and was mustered out in January. He started in February to his home in Kentucky, the dis­ tance all of which he made on foot, in an adventure of this kind on the Maumee river. The stream was swollen to a mile in extent. Hume tied his belongings and money be­ tween two poles and attempted' to swim with them across the stream but lost money, clothes, discharge and all in the water while battling with floating ice. He, however, reached home safely and spent two more years with the Scouts in Southern Indiana. In 1815 he came home to Kentucky, married Sallie Sleete, a daughter of Weedon Sleete, and niece of the wife of his Uncle Elza, as Elzaphan Hume was called. He settled on a farm in Boone County and lived there until a son was born, the wife and mother died when the child was only eleven days old. Accounts of her death are current as told by Grandmother Hume, second wife who was present, are that Sally, the first wife, died from drinking water from a poisoned spring, her father died from the same cause on the same day. The story goes that the family had been drinking water from a, spring near the house and that on this occasion some suspicious persons had been near the spring, but no danger was anticipated until the father and daughter had sickened, then some young horses drank the same water and died. Soon the young mother sickened and died. The father who was sick when the daughter died, arose from the bed, went across the room, stood by the bed­ side for a few minutes, then to the door and as one moved from on high delivered a discourse of such strength and power that a great religious awakening started from it. When he had finished he bestowed his parting blessings upon the assembled audience, crossed the room, lay down THE HUME FAMILY 125 upon the bed from which he had risen, and in a few mo­ ments was dead. This is the story as told by my grand­ mother who was an eye witness. It is also said that on the death of this daughter and her father, another and the last child was born only an hour later and that she was named in honor of the sister Sally who lay dead under the same roof. The record in the Hume bible is as follows: "Sary Hume, decea,sed, July 26, 1817." Lewis Hume, married a year later to Mary (Polly) Rob­ erts of Verona, Kentucky. After the second marriage, they lived in Kentucky until 1832, when they emigrated to Dear­ born County, Ind., where the younger children were born. While here Hume had a narrow escape from a tragic death. Several young animals had disappeared from his corrals and one morning after a, fine colt had been killed, he started to locate the miscreant and strangely enough car­ ried along his rifle with only one charge of powder and no shot. He had not gone far w'hen he came upon an immense brown bear lying down to rest after his night's repast. Mas­ ter Bruin resented the hunter's intrusion with a, show of fight, retreat was impossible as the bear was a better run­ ner than the hunter. So nothing was to be done, but fight and hastily pouring a charge of powder into his rifle, he dis­ covered that he had no balls, so he cut a plug from the wooden ramrod of his gun and fired with such precision into Mr. Bruin's mouth as to lay him dead at the feet of the bunter. This was one of his favorite stories and occurred on a little creek called Laugherty, in Dearborn County, In­ diana. From Dearborn County, Hume emigrated with his brother Aquilla, to Rush County, Indiana, in 1836, and set­ tled at Moscow. Here he remained and reared his family, and after several of his children had married he moved to Jasper County, Illinois, in 1854, and from thence in 1860 to Sullivan County, Indiana. He settled within one mile of the scene of his early work, as scout and surveyor in Jefferson township, Sullivan Coun­ ty, Indiana. He died December 23, 1875, and wa,s buried in Indian 126 THE HUME FAMILY

(X) Phoebe Monroney, died at the age of 2 years and 6 months. (XI) James Monroney, died at the age of 1 month and 15 days. The younger children of the elder George Hume and Susa,n Hutchinson, his wife, two in number, were born in the an­ cestral home in Kentucky, elsewhere shown in these pages; George and Sarah were their names. Sarah, the elder, so grandmother Mary Roberts Hume said, was 14 years old when she married into the family, 1818, and lived at her house. Her subsequent history is not known, except that several families in Southern Indiana claim descent from her line. The author, however, believes that the Sarah Hume from which they came is a daughter of George Hume, Sarah's brother, and is the Sarah Ann also called Ann, who married Younkers, and is the ancestress of S. C. Younkers, elsewhere mentioned, and of the Giegoldt family living at Aurora, Indiana. George Hume, Jr., son of elder George and Susan Hutchin­ son, was born Oct. 6, 1806, married in Indiana to Lucinda Powell, and died, as told in the following letters from his grandsons to the author: Oak Forest Home, Near Aurora, Ind., R. R. No. 1, .July 24, 1901. Mr. S. C. Younkers, Rosendale, Mo. Dear Sir: I received your very interesting letter of the 18th inst., yesterday, the 23rd, making inquiries about the Hume family. The names that you gave of my father's family are all right, but not in order of their ages. As near as I can tell it is about this way. Margaret (Wilson) Younker, Nancy (Wilson) Kirtly, Jesse Wilson, John Wilson, and some who died when quite young; I have forgotten their names. Your grandmother, Younker's mother, was a Hume; that is, her maiden name was Hume. Yes, my grandmother Wilson was Ann Hume. I cannot tell you where your grandfather Hume came from to In­ diana. His name was George. I do not know the names of your mother's brother and sister that died on Wibbon's THE HUME FAMILY 145 place. That Hume's name that was here about 30 years ago was Ambrose, and he lived at Indianapolis, Ind. He now lives at Clearwater, Kan. I have always been told by my father that several of the Hume brothers came to this country _about the time of the Revolutionary War, and some of them were engaged in that conflict. They were brothers or uncles of my grandfather. I have a powder-horn that was picked up on the battlefield of Yorktown by *Garrette Hume, a brother of my grandmother Wilson, the next day after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. It was given to my grandfather Wilson, who carried it through Wayne's campaign against the Indians, then it fell to my father who in turn .gave it to me. I have also been told by my father that there is a large fortune awaiting the Hume family in Scotland. If I had received your letter a week or two ago I might have learned more about the matter. All of my father's family is dead, Rebecca died last December the 15th. She was 85 years old. Jf you write to me again send your letter to Aurora, Ind., R. R. No. 1. We have a rural route here now and I have changed my address from Dillsboro to Aurora, R. R. No. 1. Write to me and tell me all about the folks, and where they are and what they are doing. Where is uncle Bowman and what is he doing; and tell me what success you are having in regard to the estate, we are all well and hope this will find you the same. I remain your cousi.n and well-wisher. Lucian J. Wilson, Rosendale, Mo., December 30, 1901. Dr. Jno. R. Hume, St. Loui.s, Mo. Dear Sir: I was somewhat surprised to get a letter from St. Louis, but when we come to think of it the Hume family, it is no small thing. Well, Doctor, I don't know how to start out to give you the best information, but my grandfather was George Hume, he was born October 6, 1806. This I get from my mother's old bible. He was married to Lucinda Powell at Wilmington, Ind., but JI do not know the date. * * * 146 THE HUME FAMILY

My mother was the only child that lived to raise a, family, the rest died of milk sickness before they were grown. My grandfather died and my grandmother married a man named Smith, got a divorce and married AquiIIa Aldridge, a steamboat captain on the Ohio. My grandfather was also a captain, but do not know when he came to Indiana. Here is what is written on the flyleaf of a book which I have. "This is the property of George Hume, a son of the Baron of Wetherborn." It may be that this is not the way he spelt the name as it is blotted and hard to make out. * * * If I could have gotten my father's old papers when he died, I could send you papers and books 200 years old, but I was already married and living away and my brother got all the papers. He lives in Kansas, and has an old brass plate which George Hume used to survey land with; he also has a lode stone which belonged to him. I have some old books that belonged to George Hume also. My mother's name was Sarah Ann; she married James W. Younkers, August 9, 1848. I rema,in your friend, S. C. Younkers.

Dr. Jno. R. Hume, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Friend: I was glad to hear from you. The torn paper explains all I want to know. You mention the book which my mother has. This book was given up to a Mr. Ambrose Hume, 30 years ago. If that book could be found there is some very valuable information in it. The book is 200 years old. I have no survey papers, it is the old brass plate with figures on it which he used with the lodestone in surveying. My brother George has them and grandfather's old bible. I will send my grandfather's and mother's old family Bible Record. George Hume, born October 6, 1806; married Lucinda Powell at Wilmington, Ind. James W. Younkers, born February 5, 1824; died Septem­ ber 6, 1892. THE HUME FAMILY 147

Sarah Ann Hume, born February 15, 1830; married James W. Younkers, August 9, 1848, had 8 children, as follows: 1. America Younkers, born July 8, 1849. 2. Samuel C. Younkers, born May 10, 1852. 3. George H. Younkers, born April 31, 1854. 4. Hannah Younkers, born June 14, 1857. 5. David B. Younkers, born May 29, 1861. 6. Marinda Younkers, born November 7, 1864. 7. Frank Younkers, born February 16, 1867. 8. James Younkers, born June 17, 1869. America, Hannah and Frank are dead. All the living children except George H., are married. America Younkers married Mary E. Gano, September 23, 1873; had 9 children; Clarence E. Younkers, born August 8, 187 4, now in regular army ; Mary H. Younkers, born August 10, 1877, ma;rried Herbert Hughes, has 2 children­ Elice and Howard; Clyde F. Younkers, born November 8, 1879, now in regular army, Ross Younkers, born September 30, 1881; Alma Younkers, born September 1, 1886; Elzy and Wilson-twins, born April 9, 1888; Nellie, born Febru­ ary 24, 1891; Amos Younkers, born December 23, 1893. Of the family left by Elza Hume not a great deal is known. Mention has frequently been made in these pages to his life. Now a brief allusion to some of his descendants will be all we shall ha,ve time and space to reveal. A grandson of his, Dawson Hume, now living in Boone County, Ky., is the oldest one of the family living; Elza had three sons-John, Sleete and James. Of John nothing is known. Sleete raised a large family and has descendants at Verona, Ky. John, Sleete, Mrs. Carlise and James, Dawson Hume, of Hume Postoffice, Ky., William Hume, postmaster at Hamilton, are de­ scendants of the same line. James Hume left issue at Lex­ ington and Williamstown, Ky. Jarred Humed, Revolutionary soldier, surveyor and Ken­ tucky pioneer and Indian fighter was the 4th son of William Hume and the second by the second marriage, his mother be­ ing the Gransville woman. He was but 15 years old when the war broke out in 1775, but promptly enlisted in the ranks of Gen. Anthony Wayne, being too young for regular service, he became camp boy and body servant to Wayne himself, and remained with the 148 THE HUME FAMILY army to the close of the war. At the famous battle of Stony Point he was raised to the staff of the intrepid Mad Anthony and ranked as major. His old papers were still in the possession of his son in the early life of the author; and the Armstrong family in Kentucky, descendants of his daughter, Betsy, have a copy of his Land Warrant which he received for service in that contest. Jarred Hume was born in 1760, and was probably younger than Betsy his sister, although this cannot now be deter­ mined. He was younger by 5 years than his next older brother (George) and probably younger than the only daughter. He like many others of his race did not marry until late in life. He married Mary Aldridge in Harrison County, Ky., in 1805 or 1806, he being then· 45 years of age. During the years 1799 to 1807, at which time he settled on a farm in Harrison County, he was engaged in surveying and platting lands, his old instruments are still in existence. He received a large grant of land in Kentucky, more than 2,000 acres, for his war service and work as surveyor, but located by mistake on an older grant and lost all. He also served as Indian scout during the last decade of the 18th Century. When he married he had nothing except his claim, but during the next ten years had quite an estate and ranked among the most aristocratic public men in the baby Com­ monwealth, but lost all in 1811. He was not able to sustain the shock, being too old then to start life again he sickened and died lea,ving three small children. Joel, the famous preacher, Betsy, who married one Armstrong, and Jarred Banks, who married, went to Memphis, and died in 1861, leaving a large family of children, about whom not much is known.

Betsy married an Armstrong, reared a large family in Kenton County, Ky., and died some years ago.

Elder Joel, the subject of this ~ketch, was the youngest child. His life is best told in the following item from a contemporary journal of his denomination, and letters from his family. THE HUME FAMILY 149

Wadesville, Ind., Nov. 30, 1901. Elder Joel Hume was born in what was then Campbell, but now Kenton, County, Ky., June 13, 1807. Died March 28, 1901. His father Jarred Hume was born in Virginia and died in Kentucky, when Elder Joel Hume was about Twenty­ two months old. Elder Joel Hume and my grandfather (Elder William Hume) were cousins, their fathers being brothers (she did not know their names). Elder Joel Hume had one brother, Jarred Banks Hume, who died in Memphis, Tenn., in the 52nd year of his age. Yours respectfully, Martha A. Fletchall. Joel Hume's children are as follows: Mary died in Cali­ fornia, Elizabeth, Rachel Amanda (Wilkerson), Malinda, died in infancy, Julia, Sarah and Joel. Obituary Notice of Elder Joel Hume Died at his residence in Owensville, Gibson County, Ind., at 1 :30 o'clock A. M., Sunday, March 29, 1891, in the 84th year of his age. When one so venerable and aged as Elder Hume, and who so long has been identified with one of the religious denom­ inations of this county, is called to his eterna,l home, we deem it but justice to give a more extended notice than a simple announcement of his death. Elder Hume was born in what was, then Campbell, now Kenton County, Ky., June 13, 1807. His father, Jarred Hume, died when his son Joel was about twenty-two months of age, and left the family in straightened circumstances. His mother (Mary Alldridge) being left with two small boys moved back to her father's in Boone County, where she re­ mained a widow some six years, and then married Asa Peek, and took the subject of this sketch and his little brother to the home of her husband. Elder Hume remained with his mother until about two years after her second marriage, and then left and worked among relatives and friends, for which he received enough to clothe himself, and was per- 150 THE HUME FAMILY mitted to attend school during the winter. All the time spent in attending school would not exceed ten months, but in that time he learned to read and spell "tolerably well." When about fifteen years old, he came to Indiana, and 10- cated in Switzerland County, where at the age of seventeen years, he met and married Miss Malinda Dusky. About two years after his marriage he left Switzerland and located in Parke County, where he lived some six or seven years, and it was during this time that he was made to realize his con­ dition as a sinner in the sight of a holy and just God. This exercise of mind continued for some four months, when he was led to hope that the Lord, for Christ's sake, had par­ doned his sins, and he soon afterward united with the Metho­ dist Church and lived with them about two months; but at time becoming convinced that their doctrines and principles, were not taught in the scriptures, he became dissatisfied and joined the Vermillion church of Regular Baptists, and in February, 1837, this church liberated him to speak, and he was ordained in December, 1837. In March, 1840, he moved to Posey County, and joined the church at Farmers­ ville, by letter. This church was then, as now, a member of Salem associations of Regular Baptists. A short time after locating among the Baptists in Posey County, Elder Hume was challenged by Elder Elijah Goodwin, a minister ofCamp­ belite or Christian Churcli for a public discussion of the points of difference between them. Though Hume was young in the ministry at that time, and this his first debate, while Goodwin was a populai preacher and an old debator, it is said by old residents that Hume made it "mighty interesting and a little warm for Brother Goodwin," who soon after left this part of the state and located at Indianapolis. Following this he had two other debates with the same denomination, and two with the leader of the General Baptists, Elder Benomi Stinson, but amidst all the warfare made against him, Elder Hume continued on his way trusting in the Lord, and relying on Him to bring him safely out of all trouble, and the evidences are that the Lord had abundantly blessed his efforts. In 1842, he accepted the care of Bethlehem church, near Poseyville, and was its pastor for nearly twen- THE HUME FAMILY 151 ty-eight years-also the care of Bethany (Beech) church, of which he became a member soon after, having joined the latter, and there his membership remained and he continued to be the pastor of Bethany church to the day of his death, and he was laid to rest by the side of his first wife, who has slept in Bethany church yard since Oct. 10, 1854. Of the ten children, eight daughters and two sons, but four­ three daughters and one son-are now living. August 20, 1856, he was married to his second wife, Miss Fannie, daughter of Daniel Yaeger, a member of Salem Church, of which Elder Hume was at that time pastor. Though this noble woman was 26 years younger than Elder Hume, the union proved a. happy one and none ever had a more devoted companion or kinder nurse. She was faithful and tender during all his sickness, ever ready at all times to administer to his wants, and no one could have done more, and to her, in her present disconsolation we extend our sym­ pathy and bid her know that he who has gone from her is happier now, in the great beyond, than it is possible for mor­ tal to be here on this earth, but all who are true believers and faithful followers of the meek and lowly Jesus will cer­ tainly reach that peaceful rest. S. J. W.-(in a local paper.) As has been said, Patrick Hume, the youngest child of William Hume and Granville wife, was born during the first year of the War of Independence, 1776, about two months after his father enlisted in the Colonial Army, and was seven years of age before he saw his father. His mother died dur­ ing the first year of the child's life and he was given into the care of strangers, and when at the close of the Revolu­ tion, the father and brothers came home the child could not be found, until several weeks' search had been made. He was then found and returned to his home. His father married a third time, when the lad was eight years old, and emi­ grated to Kentucky where the boy grew to manhood and married Elizabeth Coleman, and reared a family of 6 chil­ dren, only one of whom is living. His wife died in 1825, in Dearborn County, Ind., and he in 1837, in Marion County, Ind. His children are as follows: 152 THE HUME FAMILY

(1) Madison Hume born in Kentucky in 1807, married Eliza Bowers in 1828, and died in Indianapolis, Ind., in 1866. He was a minister in the Missionary Baptist church. They reared 6 sons and 5 daughters as follows: Olivia (Com­ meggs) 1832, dead; Esther (Schooley) 1835, dead; Francis (Wells) 1837, alive; Elizabeth (Lane) alive; Phoebe Ann (Infant) 1842, dead; John P.

Brownell 1888, and has 3 boys as follows: Halford Hume Brownell born 1889, Albert Hunry Brownell born 1893, and Norman W. Brownell born 1897. Mr. Brownell is Principal of the Manual Training High School and a consulting engineer of Louisville, Ky. Halford B. Hume, the younger child of Newton Hume, was born March 1872, died 1880. Madison Hume had also the follow­ ing named sons, George C., who died in infancy; Thomas J., now living in the West, and Ezra 0. Hume born in 1847, died 1867. (2) Ambrose C. Hume was born in Dearborn County, Ind., June 21, 1824, married Lavina McCray Harding, on March 21, 1846. He is a minister in the Missionary Baptist Church. Their family of 7 children, 5 sons and 2 daughters, as follows: Oliver E., Shelton M., dead, Laben Judson, Ede C., Mary E. Jolley, Sarah I. Shields. and Ellsworth Hume. Oliver E., born 1847; Shelton M., born 1849, died 1892; Laben J., born 1852; Mary E., born 1851; Sarah I., born 1860; Ede C., born 1855; Ellsworth, born 1864. *Col. Benefiel was one of the pro-Slavery Members of the Constitutional Convention which met at Corydon, Harrison County, Indiana, June 10, 1813. The members for Knox were as follows: Col. John Benefiel, John Johnson, John Badollet, William Polke, Benjamin Parke, all of Vincennes. Dunn in his Commonwealth History of Indiana, page 425, says the Knox County Delegation was the strongest in the Convention. On ,Tune 20, the Convention took up the Slavery Issue and continued for nearly a month to debate the issue. THE HUME FAMILY 153

All the Knox County Delegation except Benefiel voted for anti-slavery and the Involuntary Servitude Clause was stricken out over his protest. At the close of the Convention he came home to Fort Hadden, was elected Col. of Light Horse Cavalry and Justice of the Peace for Carlisle in 1819. A street in that Village bears his name. His grave and that of his faithful wife a,re in old Johnson Graveyard, three miles east of Carlisle, Ind., a neat slab erected by his son, Israel, marks his last resting place. ANOTHER LINE THOUGHT TO BE THAT OF WIL­ LIAM HUME, FOURTH SON OF EMIGRANT GEORGE. (Material furnished largely by Mrs. Ida March, now Mrs. W. I. Douglas.) WILLIAM HUME, thought to be fourth son of Emigrant George, was born in Virginia in the year 1734, and died in 1795. The surname of his wife is not known. She is re­ ferred to in a deed of land as Anne, wife of William Hume. They were married in Pennsylvania, it is thought, and came to Virginia, where their children were born. The records of Culpeper County, Va., show that one William Hume, mar.., ried Sarah Baker, on October 29, 1783. This may have been our William Hume, and Miss Baker, his second wife, but of this no definite data ha,s been found. Following is a copy of the original Deed of land in Green­ brier County, Virginia (now a part of W. Va.), to the hein; of William Hume: Book 55, page 30.

1. Third Generation. lVIARY HUME was born in 1773. She married George Crawford, and died October 20, 1823. Her tombstone in Madison county, Ohio, gives her age as 50 years, 27 da,ys. They had only one child William, who was born Feb. 14, 1799, and died Feb. 4, 1875. Before proceeding further it seems appropriate to give a short sketch of t]1e ancestry of the Crawford family. WILLIAM CRAWFORD of Culpeper county, Virginia, was the father of George Crawford, who married Mary Hume. As shown by his Will, he had a large family. His Will is as follows: Culpeper County Virginia. Will Book , page 336. IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN, I, William Crawford of the Parish of Marks, in the county of Culpeper, being sick and weak of body but sound of mind and memory, thanks be to God for the same, and calling to mind the uncertain duration of life, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner following: 156 THE HUME FAMILY

GEORGE HUME (0) married Ann Scott. They settled in Madison. County, Ohio, in 1826. MT. Hume died March 20, 1856. Mrs. Hume still resides with her daughter, Mrs. Edwards, at Lilly Chapel. She is now eighty-eight years old. George Hume was a son of William and Ann Hume, natives of Ireland (There was a family of Humes in Ire­ land called Scotch-Irish. I have visited their castle now in family at Fermaugh-Dr. J. R. Hume), who .became early settlers of Virginia. THE HUME FAMILY 157

where they lived and died. Ann, wife of George Hume, was the daughter of Thomas and Ellen (Owens) Scott, natives of Ireland. Mrs. Hume was but four years of age when brought to Ohio in 1798, and settled in Pike county. (History of Madison county, Ohio, page 1087.) George Hume and Ann Scott Hume had ten children, as follows: 1. Elizabeth, b. Dec. 16, 1818; d. Oct. 28, 1819. 2. William P. Hume, b.

ROBERT HUME (0), the well remembered pioneer, was a son of William and Annie Hume, he a native of Virginia, and she of Pennsylvania, who were the parents of a large family, but who died when Robert was about fourteen years of age. Our subject was born in Faquier County, Va., in 1781, and in 1799 came with two elder brothers to the vicin­ ity of \Vestfall, Pickaway Co., Ohio, where he assisted in ra1smg one crop. Thence he went to Chillicothe, and en­ gaged as clerk in a store, remaining there until 1804, when he removed to Madison County, Ohio, purchasing land in what is now Paint Township. In 1808, he married Isabella Stockton Davis, a native of Morgantown, Va. (now W. Va.). and daughter of John and Isabella Davis, of that State.*

*The official career of Robert Hume spreads over nearly forty years of the county's existence. He owned about 600 acres of land, upon which he was Jiving when Madi­ son County was formed, and he was chosen as Clerk and Recorder of said County, serving in both offices, respectively, from 1810 until June and July, 1815, at which time he resigned, removed to Chillicothe, and thence to Kentucky. In the spring of 1811, he erected a cabin on the site of John Dungan's residence in London, into which he moved from the farm the same year. A couple of years passed away, and the cabin was replaced by a substantial two-storied hewed-log house, in which he kept a tavern until his removal to Chillicothe. During his absence from Madison County, a store was operated in London, under the name of Needham and Hume, these ge_n­ tlemen supplying the capital. In a few years, he again came to Madison County, and in 1823-24 represented that district in the Ohio Legislature. He was County Treasurer from 1826 to June, 1838, and again Recorder from July, 1839, until his· death, his wife }:laving died a few years prior to the latter date. Politically, Mr. Hume was a Whig, and an ardent supporter of his party.

A. Hume, who, al­ though not a pioneer in the strictest sense of the term, has, nevertheless, lived so long in Madison County, and served the people so faithfully that to leave him out of this chapter would be an injustice. He was born in Paint Township, this county, Sept. 30, 1809, and is a son of Robert and Isa­ bella Hume, who are mentioned in the foregoing pages. Here he grew up during the pioneer days, and in 1841 was ap­ pointed Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. He was elected to fill that position eleven times in succession, serving con­ tinuously until February, 1882." Page 333: "In March, 1857, the shade trees on each front of the Court House were planted under the supervision of A. A. Hume, and add much to the appearance of the struc­ ture. In May, 1841, A. A. Hume came into office as Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. He died June 22, 1891." 10½. JAMES .STOCKTON HUME (3) was born April 6, 1817, and died Dec. 7, 1894. His wife was Rebecca McMurray.

She received her early education in the London Public School, from which she was graduated in the year 1886. The year following was spent in Oxford College, Oxford, Ohio. The death of her father on March 2nd, 1889, necessi- 166 THE HUME FAMILY tated further education in order to prepare for the battles which she would have ~o face, therefore, a business educa­ tion was secured at the Willis Business College, Springfield, Ohio. In the year 1891 she was appointed Court Stenog­ rapher for the court of Common Pleas at London, Ohio. This position she held until she was appointed to the position of Deputy Clerk of the Probate Court of Madison County, Ohio, Nov. 18, 1894. Service in this capacity up to the present time (1916) speaks of her ambition, efficiency, popularity and devotion a,t all times to her work. These and other common sense qualities have won her the friendship of the business as well as the social world in this and adjoining counties. She is a member of the Presbyterian Church, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the Health and Welfare League, the London Chapter of the Daughters of the Amer­ ican Revolution, and other social clubs of London, Ohio.

He was the son of Daniel March and Rebecca Spahr, both of Little York, Penn., and one of a family of ten children. His wife, Cath­ erine (Crawford) March, was born November 15, 1846, and was the daughter of William Crawford (a relative of Col. William Crawford, who was burned at the stake by Wyan­ dotte Indians in Wyandotte County, Ohio, June 11, 1782) and Sarah Blizzard, whose parents were among the very first settlers in Madison County, Ohio. Burton Blizzard, the father of Sarah Blizzard, was Justice of the Peace for thirty years and County Commissioner of Madison County from 1816 to 1839, inclusive. He assisted Patrick McLene in lay­ ing out the lots for the town of London. His parents emi­ grated from Virginia in wagons to Ross County, Ohio, ex­ periencing many trials and hardships and reaching their THE HUME FAMILY 167 destination in five weeks from the time of starting. They settled on the Governor Worthington farm, five miles from the present site of Chillicothe, which place and Columbus at that time were only trading posts. His wife, Amelia Wil­ loughby, daughter of Job Willoughby and Mary Mills, both from near Cambridge, England, died at the age of ninety­ four years, October 30, 1881. She was born on the 18th day of January, 1788.

Brockman: Miss Griggs, Librarian, Memorial Con­ tinental Hall, gave me your name and address, thinking you might give me some information concerning Jam€s Hume, the 5th, son of George Hume of Virginia. I have a chart of the family back to Ethelred, King of England, A. D. 968-1013. If I have anything you care to have will be very glad to send it to you. My uncle has two very large and compl€te (as to detail) charts. What I have is not so complete but should be glad to give you any of it. What I am trying to do is prove some service of James Hume in the Revolutionary War. He seems to have been th€ Ancestor of Alexander who gave service and was killed but this is not very clear. If you can assist me in this I shall appreciate it very much. 168 THE HUME FAMILY

While residing there, he married Hannah, James, of Fauquier County, Dec. 26, 1764 (Hannah James was born Nov. 10, 1745). (Va. Co. Records, Vol. 6.) He died April 7, 1821. - Eleven children were born to this union, as follows:

Third Generation 2. JOHN HUME (1) was born May 21, 1766, and died in 1838. He married Ann Elizabeth Clarke, of Madison. Miss Clarke was born in 1768, and died in 1832. They had four­ teen children, as follows: 12 1. Patsy, m. George Hunton. 13 2. Lucy, m. Joseph Wilson Thompson. 3. Martha Hume, no record. 14 4. Sarah Hume, m. George Bumgarner. 15 5.

3. ANNE (NANCY) HUME (1) was born Feb. 1, 1768. She married Wilhoit Robinson. No further record ha,s been found. 4. BENJAMIN HUME (1) was born Feb. 11, 1770. He mar­ ried Elizabeth Taliaferro, daughter of Laurence Taliaferro of Rose Hill, Orange County, Va., on August 25, 1801. No issue. In 1831 he married Mary Lowen, and had one daugh­ ter, Betty Taliaferro, who married Rev. W. F. Robins, a Methodist minister. The Lowen family in America is of English descent, prob­ ably a branch of the family whose seat was in Middlesex, England. Thomas Lowynn or Lowyun was listed September 2, 1635, as one of those to be transported to St. Christoph­ er's and imbarqued in the "William and John," according to Hotten's List of Immigrants. Col. Thomas Gooch, who came to the American Colonies in 1746 from Hatfield, Ha,rtford County, England, had mar­ ried in England Sarah Lowen, "sister of Francis Lowen, of Middlesex, England." Colonel Gooch settled at Homesteads, Gooch's Bridge, Delaware, and died November 16, 1788. His wife, Sarah Lowen Gooch, died in October, 1784, and one of her grandsons was named Francis Lowen Gooch. (McKen­ sie's Colonial Families of the United Sta,tes of America, vol­ ume 7, page 161.) The fact that the name of Francis Lowen has appeared in practically every generation of the Lowen and allied fami­ lies in America to the present day supports the belief that the immigrant ancestor was of the Middlesex, England, fam­ ily. It is believed that the American branch lived first in Pennsylvania, and followed the line of immigration down 172 THE HUME FAMILY through the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and later to Ken­ tucky. The first of the name known in Virginia was John Lowen, who purchased land in Orange county from Alexander Spots­ wood, April 7, 17 40. By 1767 he was a resident of Culpeper county, where he also bought land from Spotswood heirs, in­ creasing his holdings on the Rapidan river to more than 500 acres. He died in Culpeper county in 1779, and his personal estate was inventoried at 17,341 pounds and 15 negroes. John Lowen's estate was divided August 11, 1779, among his widow, Margaret Lowen, and the following children: Francis Lowen, Benjamin Lowen, Sarah Sisson, wife of Wil­ liam Sisson, Ann Lowen, and Mary Thomas, wife of James Thomas. John Lowen's widow, Margaret Lowen, by her will dated February 20, 1792, left her estate to her daughter, Sarah Sisson, and her grandchildren, Charlotte Sisson, Sarah Sis­ son, Benjamin Sisson, Fanny Bryan Sisson and Tarpley Sis­ son. Benjamin Lowen, son of John and Margaret Lowen, was an officer in the Revolutionary War. His commission as en­ sign of the Culpeper militia, signed by Thomas Jefferson, Governor of Virginia, May 15, 1780, is still in the possession of his descendants. He d.ied between November 29; 1789, when his will was dated, and 1792. The .will mentions his wife, Mary Lowen, and his eldest daughter, Betsy Lowen. Three of his daughters married into the Hume family. Mar­ garet Lowen married Humphrey Hume September 18, 1800; Mary Lowen married Benjamin Hume, April 26, 1831; Fan­ ny Lowen married William Waller Hume (no dates availa­ ble) ; Sany B. W. Lowen married Jacob Hume (a cousin). Mary Lowen, widow of Benjamin Lowen, was still living December 31, 1803, when she and his heirs purchased land in Culpeper county. Francis Lowen, the other son of John and Margaret Low­ en, is believed to have been born about 1755-1760. The first deed of record to him in Culpeper county was from his broth­ er, Benjamin Lowen, July 19, 1779. His lands were on Ce­ dar Run and in the great fork of the Rappahannock river, THE HUME FAMILY 173 deeds show. On August 1, 1784, Francis Lowen married in Culpeper county, Lucy Bourne, who was born February 23, 1765. She was the daughter of Francis Bourne, of Culpeper county, who had married in 1757 Frances Christopher, who was born in Culpeper county in 1736 and died in Jessamine county, Kentucky, in 1816. Francis Bourne was the son of John Bourne, who moved to Culpeper county about 1734, and died there between 1760 and 1774; he married first, Miss Ramsey, who bore him three children, one of them being Francis Bourne, and second, Eleanor Davis, who bore eight children. John Bourne was the son of Robert Bourne, the immigrant, who came froDl England about 1657 with one brother and one sister and settled six miles from Fredericks­ burg, in Spotsylvania county, Virginia, where he died in 1726-1727. Francis Bourne and his wife, Frances (Christopher) Bourne, who were the parents of Francis Lowen's wife, went to Kentucky in 1780, were three months at Fort Boonesbor­ ough, returned to Virginia, and went back to Kentucky in 1784, when they settled in Jessamine county. Both were members of the Church of England, but Francis Bourne be­ came in Kentucky a Baptist minister, a calling followed by severa,l of his descendants, who are scattered through Ken­ tucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and Mississippi. Francis Lowen followed his father-in-law to Kentucky in about three years, as he was still living in Culpeper county when he gave a power of attorney to John Grinnan N ovem­ ber 22, 1787. The date of his first appearance in Kentucky is not known, because of burning of records of Fayette coun­ ty, Kentucky, in 1803. Fragments of these burned docu­ ments show that he was living before February 7, 1791, in that part of Fayette county which later becctme Jessamine county, and that he had a 2,000 acre patent. His near neigh­ bors were his wife's relatives, the Bournes. Francis Lowen died in Jessamine county, Kentucky, Sep­ tember 3, 1820. His wife, Lucy (Bourne) Lowen, died be­ tween April 29, 1834, and March, 1837, dates of her will and its probate.

The following letters from Mrs. Mary A. Gardner, a granddaughter of Fontaine Hume, is evidence and suffi­ cient proof of Fontaine, Hume's life and death in the South: Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 30, 1915. Mr. WM. EVERETT BROCKMAN, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Brockman: I am enclosing an ·of the records I have been able to find of Fontaine Hume. I am also enclosing a letter which has been forwarded me from my home in answer to a communication THE HUME FAMILY 179

I sent while in Washington, to the Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge, F. A. A. M. I do not know if it will be any help to you, as I suppose that you have all of these records. A few days ago I sent by parcel post all communications I could find of my mother's, also a picture of one of my uncles, D'avid or William (Hume), rather think William, which I hope that you have received. I am leaving in a few days for Miami, Fla., where you may address all communications. With best wishes for a closer knowledge of each of our family, and a hearty welcome to all that may come my way, I am, Sincerely yours, MARY A. GARDNER.

Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 5, 1915. Mr. W. E. BROCKMAN, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Brockman: We drove out to Raleigh Sunday and found the neglected old resting place of years ago. After wandering through ruts, weeds, and forest delvas, among shattered tombs, broken slabs, and sunken graves, we found the resting place of dear grandfather, Fontaine Hume. Strange to say, it was the best preserved grave around, slab was firm and erect, and the grave not sunken. I felt so gratified, it seemed some unknown spirit had cared for it. On the slab is Fountaine Hume, Madison Gounty, Va., departed this life Oct. 20, 1836, age 34 years, 3 months, and 10 days. I believe this furnishes all that I can obtain; however, if I can be of any more service, let me know. Kind remembrance to all. Yours sincerely, MARY A. GARDNER. Fontaine Hume and Alcenia A. (Austin) Hume had two children, as follows : 51 1. Sarah Ann Hume, m. Henry Clay Dollis. 2. John William Hume, b. June 28, 1834, d. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 28, 1842. 19. WILLIAM C.

20. DAVID HUME (2) was born in Madison County, Virginia. For a number of years he lived and kept store with his brother William at Orange, C. H., but later moved to Alex­ andria, and went into the Commission Grocery Business. It was while there that he married Fannie Dade, of a well­ known family of Virginia,. Mr. Hume was a prominent man in Virginia and in Washington, D. C., in which latter place he was known as the "Elegant Virginian." He was distinc­ tively known for his physical beauty, as well as beauty of character, and for his great generous heart. He was a prominent Mason; an active member of the Episcopal church in Alexandria, Va., where he resided; and well known for his rriany acts of charity. After his death the Masons erected a monument to him in Culpeper Co., Va., and placed his picture in the Masonic Hall in Alexandria, Va., where it now hangs. At one time Mr. Hume was one of the wealthiest men of the State. Owing to his untimely death, leaving all of his children minors, his fortune was wasted. by lawyers, the bulk of it being kept by them as fees. His wife, Fannie Dade Hume, died at the birth of her daughter, Harriette Shepherd Dade, who later married Rev. C. E. Watts. The children of David and Fannie (Dade) Hume, were as follows: 52 1.

He immediately began the practice of his profession at his old home, and very soon won the confidence, not only of his people in Madison County, but of people in the surrounding country. This confidence was not misplaced, for to the day of his deaith old friends continued to praise him for the splendid service he had ren­ dered his community. In 1852, he married Mary Emma Thompson, of Fauquier County, daughter of .Joseph Thompson and Lucy Hume, his wife. Ten children blessed this union, seven of whom are now living.

The following letter addressed to the author is from Miss Carrie Lee Hume, the oldest child of Dr. Hume and Louisa Kennedy Hume: Orange, Va., March 6, 1915. Dear Mr. Brockman: Your letter to hand regarding our family received, and as my brother is at this time ill, I will answer for him. Our greatgrand­ father was Charles Hume, he had six sons and one daughter. Our father Charles W. Hume, graduated in medicine and practised many years in this county. He was exempt from service during the Civil War, on account of his services being needed in the community as a physician. Our· grandfather was a farmer; our great-grandfather was said to be a son of George Hume, the surveyor, who came to America in 1720, and married Miss Proctor. * * * My brothe'!' Dr. W. W. Hume, and myself are neither married, and live at the Old Kennedy Home, Elmwood, in Orange County, Va., two and one-half miles from Orange C. H. Our brother, Albert Wilson, died in 1908, was not married. Our sister Sarah Ann died in 1887, was not mar­ ried. * * * Hoping this may be of some value to you, I am, Respectfully, CARRIE L. HUME. DR. WILLIAM WALLER HUME, eldest son of Dr. Charles Wesley and Louisa Kennedy Hume was born May 9th, 1856. He was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore in 1889. Because of his high stand­ ing in his classes, studious habits and devotion to his chosen profession he was assigned to a place in the Hospital of the College and remained there for two years. He then went to Hinton, West Virginia, where he practiced his profession 186 THE HUME FAMILY with marked ability and success until he was offered the place of physician and surgeon to the Quinnimont Coal Company of ·west Virginia, operating a number of mines. Accepting this position he remained there until by severe illness which left him partially parnlyzed he was unable to pursue his profession. He then returned to his native County of Orange, Virginia,, and took charge of his two valuable farms there, and although greatly handicapped by his physical infirmities he managed them with marked skill and unusual success up to his last illness. William Waller Hume came of old Virginia families who maintained the finest tradition of this historic Common­ wealth and no loftier expression of them can be found than in his life. He leaves a record of suffering, relieved of sym­ pathetic ministrations, kindly acts and professional devotion rarely equaled. He died August the 28th, 1922. His only surviving near relatives were his only sister, Miss Carrie L. Hume, and his first cousins, children of his only uncle, James F. H. Kennedy of Orange County, Virginia. For his cheerful happy disposition his genuine old Virginia hospi­ tality, his many acts of kindness to the sick and the poor around him, he was greatly beloved and sadly missed by a la,rge circle of relatives and friends. He was buried at Elm­ wood, the ancestral Kennedy home near Orange, Virginia. CARRIE LEE HUME, oldest child of Dr. Charles Wesley Hume and Louisa Kennedy Hume was born March 26th, 1854. Miss Hume received her education in the schools of her neighborhood at Culpeper, Virginia, and from the Bridgewater College of Rockingham County, Virginia, and for a number of years she taught a flourishing school at her home "Elmwood," near Orange, Virginia. She was earnest and conscientious in all she undertook, was gen­ tle and refined in manner, kind and sympathetic to all in trouble. Losing her mother when very young she had many cares and responsibilities for one of her age. She was a devoted daughter and sister, all her younger life being spent in tender, loving service to her devoted and beloved father, his elder sisters, her two younger broth- THE HUME FAMILY 187

ers and little sister and in later years devoted and ten­ der ministrations to her afflicted brother, the late Dr. W. W. Hume, was known and admired by all who knew her best. She was a devoted and consistent member of Trinity M. E. Church, Orange, Virginia. She was self-sac­ rificing and gave liberally to all good causes, a true Chris­ tian. She died September the 3rd, 1924, after a short illness and was laid to rest among her loved ones in the family cemetery at Elmwood, Orange County, Virginia. She was the last of her immediate generation and was sadly missed . in her community by a large circle of relatives and friends. 27. 4 FRANCIS SPARKS (11) was born March 27, 1805, ma,r­ ried William Pratt, and had one child: 61 1.

44. 5 JOSEPH TATUM (16) married Jane Wood, and had two children, as follows: 1. .Robert Tatum, married ---. 2. Waddie Tatum, married ---, and has one daughter, MYRTLE TATUM, who is a trained nurse, and resides in Washington, D. C. Mr. Tatum is a prosperous business man of Orange County, Va., and is a director of the Orange National Bank. 45. 5 RACHAEL ANN TATUM (16) married William B. Estes. Mr. Estes was a son of Miss Harvey, of England, who came from one of the wea,lthiest and most aristocratic families of the British Isles. The valuable property in England which she should have inherited was given over to some distant relatives before she was located by the agents. The author well remembers having heard his grandmother, Rachael Ann Tatum, speak of the fortune that would some day come from England, from the Harvey Estate. Following is a record of some of the Harvey family in England, who are the ancestors of the author's great-grand­ mother Harvey, mother of William B. Estes:

Gabriel Harvey, an English writer, born at Saffron Waldron, in Essex, in 1545. He was elected in 1570 fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cam­ bridge, when he became an intimate friend of Edmund Spencer, for whose Hobbinol in the Shepherd's Calendar he served as model. Mr. Harvey was an excellent scholar, and an elegant Latin writer. He had bitter controversies with Greene, and Nashe, the dramatist, who made him the butt of the brilliant satires, "Have with you to Safron Wal­ den" (Nashe) 1596, and "Quip for an Upstart Courtier" (Greene). After Mr. Harvey's retort to the former in the "Trimming of Thomas Nashe," 1597, Archbishop Whitgift forbade all such books of satire. WILLIAM HARVEY, a physician, born 1578, discoverer of the cir­ culation of blood, born at Folkestone, Kent. He was educated at Can­ terbury and Cambridge, and traveled through France and Germany to Padua, the most famous school of physic at that time. In 1607 he was elected a fellow of the College of Physicians, and in 1609 he was made assistant physician at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. In 1615 he was made Lumleian lecturer at the College of Physicians, where he made known his theory of the circulation of blood, publishing his essay on the subject in 1628. William B. Estes was born Oct. 20, 1823, and married Miss Tatum Dec. 15, 1852. She was born Feb. 23, 1823, and died July 30, 1904. THE HUME FAMILY 193

RACHAEL ANN TATUM, by her daughter MARY HANNAH (ESTES) BROCKMAN (deceased) My grandfather was Isham Tatum, and grandmother Mary, who was known as Polly Hume Tatum. They raised a family of fifteen children to be grown. Their names were John, Hamet, Charles, Rachael Ann, Sallie, Mary, Martha, Lucy, Tabby, Hannah and Ed. John and Hamet, on reaching manhood went to Missouri, where they married. Both were prosperous business men, and each accumulated a considerable fortune. Charles was a resident of Madison County, where he rebuilt the old homestead, and married Hannah Sparks, also of Madison. They were well-known for their hospitality, their home being a stopping place for many travellers. Many ambitious men were taken into their home in order that they might attend the Locust Dale School for young men, which was located nearby. Having no children of their own they raised three orphan girls, who remained with them until their marriage or death. There are many sweet memories that come to me of this dear old place, and many things that I could relate of Uncle Charles and Aunt Hannah (the latter for whom I was named). They lived to be old and died and were buried in the old family burying ground at their home. My mother, Rachael Ann Tatum, was married to William B. Estes in the year 1853, and they moved to Orange County, where they re­ sided until my father's death. Eight children were born to them, seven of which lived to be grown. The reader, I hope will pardon me if I make a few remarks about my mother, who is now gone to the great beyond. My pen is unable to portray her lovely character, her kind and good disposition, and her patience, which made all who knew her remember and love her. She was a member of the Methodist Church, of which she lived a consistent member until her death, which occurred July 5, 1903, at the home of her son, W. I. Estes, near Gordonsville, Va. She was buried at her old home, Oak Dale, Orange County, Va. The children of W. B. Estes and Rachael Ann (Tatum) Estes are, as follows : 1. Cordelia Catherine Estes, m. Albert Brockman. (See Brock­ man Family.) 78 2. William Isham Estes, m. three times. 79 3. Joseph Hamet Estes, twice married. 4. Mary Hannah Estes, m. Wm. Joseph Brockman. (Parents of W. E. Brockman. See Brockman Family.) 5. Anne Elizabeth Estes died young. 80 6. Lucy Ellen Estes, m. Charles C. Bell. 81 7. Ida Jane Estes, m. ,Joseph Matthews. 8. Charles Robert Estes, died single in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md., age 35 years. 46. 5 SALLIE TATUM (16) married Thompson, and had three children, as follows : 1.

Left no issue. 50. 5 HANNAH TATUM (16) married William Locker. Their children are, MATTIE, PEYTON, and CHARLES LOCKER. One of the sons, probably Peyton, is a Military Attache to the, French Embassy. All are highly educated and have made their mark in the world. 51. 5 SARAH ANN HUME (18) was born in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 27, 1831, and died there Oct. 22, 1890. She was mar­ ried in Memphis, Tenn., June 4, 1846, to Henry Clay Dollis, a broker. Mr. Dollis was born in Maysville, Ky., Feb. 26, 1818. Miss Hume was a favorite of her uncles William and David Hume, who wrote frequently to her, as shown by letters under the biographical sketches of these two men. From the time of their death, little was known of Sarah Ann (Hume) Dollis. The Civil War seemed to separate the two families, and until the year 1915, the late generation had no record of the descendants of Fountaine Hume, her father. An account of the discovery of this branch of the family will be given under the head of Mary A. (Dollis) Gardner, the granddaughter of Fontaine Hume. The children of Sarah Ann (Hume) Dollis and her hus­ band, Henry Dollis, are as follows : 90 1. Mary Agnes Dollis, m. Curtis W. Gardner. 91 2. Calevarius Dollis, m. James H. Kendall. - 3. Susan Alcenia Dollis, b. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 4, 1856. Unmarried, 1915. 4. Isaac H. Dollis, b. July 10, 1858. Three died at birth. 52. 5 FRANCES PAGE HUME (20) at the age of 26 married Col. Cartre Braxton, who was then 28 years old. He was 196 THE HUME FAMILY the son of Carter Braxton and Elizabeth (Fray) Braxton, formerly of Norfolk, Va. They were married Feb. 16, 1865. Mrs. Francis P. Braxton died a few months after her mar­ riage. 53.

(By lVIiss Carrie Watts, Charlottesville, Va.) 5 HARRIETTE SHEPHERD HUME (20) married Rev. Charles Edward Watts, a Methodist minister, and member of the Virginia Conference. He was the son of James Dil­ lard Watts, who was three times married. He had two sis­ ters and nine brothers. The brothers were lawyers, doctors, and ministers. Dr. Shannon Watts went to California and became immensely rich and famous. He left no sons. Rich­ ard Watts was s,tudying medicine at the opening of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the service and died shortly afterwards with typhoid fever. Judge Sterling Watts, of Tazewell, Va., was another son by the third marriage. Rev. Robert Watts was a son by the third marriage, and Tom Brown Watts was the only son by the second marriage. He was in college when the war broke out, and was killed in the service. General Cornelius Watts is a distinguished lawyer, and a son by the third marriage. He resides in Charleston, W. Va. Morton Simms Watts is a teacher and resides in the West. Lucien Clarke Watts is a farmer in Albemarle County, Va. Rev. Charles Edward Wa,tts was a child by the last marriage of ,James Dillard Watts and Lucy Ann Simms. Miss Simms was related to Patrick Henry, whose mother was a Miss Simms, or Semms. John Wesley Watts, another son, was a law student when the war broke out and claimed him. He was a gallant soldier, and had just been promoted to the rank of Captain, when he was taken prisoner by the "Yankees" and shot while trying to make his escape. One of the daughters married Dr. Stovall, of Kentucky, and died several years ago, leaving a large family. The other daugh­ ter married Asa Prince." The following sketch was taken from the History of Albe­ marle County, by the author of this book, which gives ad- THE HUME FAMILY 197 ditional information on the family of Lucy Ann Simms, wife of James Dillard Watts. "William Simms, who lived in the north part of the county and who was the father of Ann Simms, who married Samuel Brockman, and Nancy Simms, who married Ambrose Brockman, had a brother James Simms, who lived in the same section. James Simms married Mildred Durrett, first, and secondly, J-- Early, and had two sons, Richard and Isaac Simms. Richard married Elizabeth Clarkson, and had four children, as follows :

1. Elizabeth Simms, m. Edgar Wingfield. 2. Jane Simms, m. Tandy Brockman, of Orange County, Va. 3. Cornelia Simms, m. Rev. Rohert Watts. 4. Lucy Ann Simms, m. James Dillard Watts." "Samuel Brockman was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary Army, and owned extensive lands in the northeast part of the county." He was the son of William Brockman, of St. Thomas Parish, Orange County. William Brockman was the great-grandfather of Fletcher Brockman, of whom an extensive account is given in the 1915 issue of "Who's Who in America," and of W.W. Brockman, of Madison Hall, Va. Samuel Brockman, the progenitor of the Amherst County Brockman family, was the father of John Brockman, the progenitor of many of the Orange-County Brockmans, and of the Louisa-County family. The author of this book traces his ancestry back to this point. Rev. Charles Edward Watts, husband of Harriette Shep­ herd (Hume) Watts, is now (1915) located in Charlottes­ ville, Va. Mr. Watts is talented, highly educated, and a Virginia gentleman in the truest sense. He is one who be­ lieves that one's education is never completed, and at this time he uses his spare time seeking deeper truths of the world of knowledge at the University of Virginia. His wife is the daughter of David Hume, and Fannie (Dade) Hume, who lost her father when only a small girl. The life of Mrs. Watts has been one of a steadfast Chris­ tian, of that exalted type which lives for others. Truly it can be said that she has been to her family a perfect mother and wife. DR. WILLIAM W. HUME Beckley, W. Va. THE HUME FAMILY 199

Their children are as follows : 1. FranceB Page Watts, m. Wm. David Thornhill. They have two children: William David, Jr., and Dora Page Thorn­ hill. They reside in Kentucky. 2.

JOSEPH THOMPSON HUME (22) the eldest son of Dr. Chas. E. and Mary E. Hume, was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, February 3, 1855. He inherited at an early age the traits of his father and decided to make his life's work the practice of medicine. He attended and grad­ uated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Balti­ more, Md., March 15, 1887, and started the practice of his profession at Hinton, West Va. Through his fair dealings and sympathetic understanding of human nature he soon won a host of friends and enjoyed a wonderful practice in Hinton. He met Miss Grace Irene Benedict of Lebanon, 0., whom he married October 25, 1898. Dr. Hume along with his medicine was interested in the affairs of the State and nation and was elected by the people of his county to repre­ sent them in the State Assembly at Charleston, West Vir­ ginia. In 1909 he with his family moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he went to evade the severe winters of the North. He started right into practicing medicine again and as before, soon had many friends and admirers and he en­ joyed his practice up until the year before his death. Dr. Hume was a typical Virginia gentleman of the old school- 200 THE HUME FAMILY stately in appearance, and pleasing in manner. He passed away May 16, 1920, at his residence in St. Petersburg. Sur­ viving him are his wife and four children. E. Benedict, Margaret Elizabeth, Robert Thompson and Mary Virginia Hume.

54½. DR. WILLIAM WALLER HUME OF BECKLEY, WEST VIRGINIA Dr. William Waller Hume, son of Dr. Chas. Edward Hume, and Mary Emma Thompson, was born Sept. 21st, 1868, at the quiet country estate, Mont Chine, Orange County, Virginia, where his parents refugeed during the late War Between the States. The parents of Dr. William Waller Hume suffered many vicissitudes and reverses of fortune, occasioned by the Civil War. Times were very dif­ ficult for them, and no less difficult for this ambitious strug­ gling child, who as it were, was born with a great thirst for knowledge. William Waller Hume was a sturdy, active, intelligent boy, but marked by that reserve, modesty and high sense of duty, which he carries through life. Today he is termed "The modest, unpretentious man and able physi­ sian." Dr. Hume is entirely a self-made man-his oppor­ tunities when a child were more than meager. At the age of fourteen years, he was obsessed with the desire "to be up and doing"; adrift at the age of sixteen, he found employ­ ment successively; at Shenandoah, Virginia, as messenger boy for the N. & W. R. R.-a few months later he became Manager for The Shenandoah Iron Mercantile Company; then Manager of the J. B. Brown Mercantile Company-at Culpeper, Virginia, with the Norman Ashby Shoe and Dry Goods Company. Ambition spurring him and his small sav­ ings placed aside, he left his native state in 1890, having purchased an interest in the W. W. Hume & Co. Drug Store, Hinton, West Virginia, of which business he became the proprietor. While engaged in this business (that he might be better equipped) he studied pharmacy at the Maryland School of Pharmacy, Baltimore, Maryland. Later he sold THE HUME FAMILY 201 this business and purchased the John Drew Drug Store, corner Connecticut and L Sts., Washington, D. C. This busi­ ness was purchased by the 0. H. Wood Drug Co. in 1897. In 1898 Dr. Hume entered the University of Virginia for the study of the noble profession of medicine, graduating with honor three years later. Immediately he entered upon his professional career as physician and surgeon for The Raleigh Coal & Coke Company, and The Raleigh Lumber Co., Raleigh, West Virginia, which positions were held for and offered to him by one of the largest stockholders and general manager of The Raleigh Lumber Company, who re­ marked: "Dr. Hume is the physician we need. I've watched his career with keen interest since he was a mere boy and I know his worth." Through his intensely energetic, reso­ lute and conscientious temperament, he speedily won renown and fame as a leading physician and surgeon. In 1904, his physical health succumbed to his heavy practice, thereby causing him to resign public practice to enter private work. At this time he established the Beckley Hospital, the first hospital founded in the county of Raleigh, West Virginia. This institution gave him recognition as one of the most capable surgeons of the State. He afterwards sold the Beck­ ley Hospital, but continued in private practice, giving most of his time to the specialty, Obstetrics. However, the over­ taxing of his strength again made it still more urgent that he decide upon less heavy work. Dr. Hume now enjoys the specialty, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, and is located in the same county in which he began the practice of his chosen profession. Dr. Hume comes from a long line of distin­ guished physicians-his father, Dr. Charles Edward Hume, enjoyed the distinction of being among the most able medi­ cal men in children's diseases; his brother, Dr. Joseph Thompson Hume, now of St. Petersburg, Fla., is an obstetri­ cian of note. "The Hume Doctors" enjoy not only a state­ wide reputation, but national. In 1903 Dr. Hume married Miss Gazelle Hundley, a young lady of French and English ancestry-a member of one of the oldest and most distin­ guished families of the Tidewater Section of Virginia, being a daughter of the late Prof. John Trible Hundley and grand- 202 THE HUME FAMILY daughter of Judge Muscoe Garnett of Essex County, Vir­ ginia. She is a niece of Lieut. Kemp Garnett, Capt. Frank Garnett, and Dr. David Garnett (Surgeon in Confederate Army), all of whom won distinction in the Confederate Army and gave their lives for this cause. Her congenial and sympathetic companionship and his appreciation of it contributes much to his success. A daughter, Mary Gar­ nett, was born to this union and died in infancy. A son, Beverly Roy Hume, now blesses their lives. Apart from Dr. Hume's ability as a professional man, he is a keenly alive, alert, business man, holding prominent positions of trust in the business world. Since his graduation from the University of Virginia, successively, every two years, he goes to the large medical centers for post-graduate work, viz., The New York Polyclinic, the New York Post Graduate School of Medicine, the Polyclinic of Tulane University of New Orleans, the Polyclinic of Philadelphia, the Wills Eye and the Medico-Chirurgical of Philadelphia. 55. 5 CHARLES HUME (22) married Kate Gibson, Sept. 27, 1892. Their only child, HORACE CATLETT HUME, re­ sides in Webb City, Mo. 56. 5 BENJAMIN ROYAL HUME (22) married Miss Marga­ ret Coons, of Danville, Va. No children. 57. !'i GEORGIE HUME (22) married Richard Kelly, of Cul­ peper, Va. They have seven children: EMMA, MAUD, HARRIET, ALEXANDER, LUCY, GEORGIE, and THOMPSON KELLY. Emma Kelly, married January the 5th, 1918, Dr. John H. Hoskins, a graduate of Richmond College who also took Post Graduate work in Buffalo, N. Y., and is a specialist in eye, ear and throat diseases. Dr. Haskins is located in THE HUME FAMILY 203

Lynchburg, Va. Their children are Emily Hume, born Oc­ tober 6, 1919, and John, Jr., born April 2, 1923. Mr. Richard Kelly has a large furniture store in Culpeper, Va., and is associated with his son, Alexander Kelly, the firm being "R. T. Kelly and Son." Misses Maude and Har­ riet Kelly are teaching in Miami, Florida, and Miss Georgie Kelly is a student at the Peabody Conservatory.of Music in Baltimore, Md. 58. 5 BESSIE ADINA HUME, youngest daughter of Dr. Charles E.

THE CALDWELL FAMILY Two brothers-Caldwell-Privateers, sailing under Span­ ish colors, settled in the town of Caldwell near Paisley in Southern Scotland, about 400 years ago and from them de­ scended the families of the name of Caldwell. William Caldwell who was an only child, married and settled in Fredericksburg, Va., where he became a mer­ chant and was a proud well to do man. He reared three sons, John Skelton, Robert and Richard. Each of these in turn married and each had a son William, named for the grandfather, but all three died without issue. Richard Cald­ well was a physician in Fredericksburg and reared a family THE HUME FAMILY 205

He went to Tennessee when young and became a Presbyterian Minister preaching the Gospel until he was eighty years old.

The following letter will give information of Mrs. Este's ancestry: Charleston, W. Va., March 12, 1915. Mrs. ISHAM ESTES, Rapidan, Virginia. Dear Mrs. Estes: I am sorry not to be informed of the genealogy of most of the names that you mention, but will give you a sketch of what I remember about the Hutt family. My lineage and yours is the same to the marriage of Catherine Spence with the third Gerard Hutt, but there we separate. I am descended from one of the sons, William Spence Hutt, who married a French lady, Miss Willard. You are de­ scended from another brother, Thomas, who married Mary Young, widow of Elliott Sturman. * * * Susie Hutt, of Neenah, Va., and Wyatt Hutt, are somewhere connected with our family. * * * I have traced our ancestry back to Col. Thomas Gerard of St. Mary's County, Md. His daughter Temperance married the emigrant Daniel Hutt, of London, in 1669. He died leaving one son, Gerard Hutt, whose Will in 1739 says, that his wife was Ann, and his children, Thomas, Gerard and Daniel, and four daughters. They lived at Prospect Hill, in Westmoreland County, Va. Daniel Hutt died in 1674. I don't know how old he was, but a short time before his death he was excused from paying taxes on account of his age. Gerard Hutt died about 1739-40, and left his home, Prospect Hill, to his son Gerard, who married Mary ---, and had several children, named in his Will in 1771. We are principally concerned with his son Gerard, who married in 1760 Cath­ erine Spence. Their children were, Mary, born 1761, and married James S. Dozier; John, born in 1763, was a gallant Revolutionary .sol­ dier, and known as "Yellow Jacket." He married Elizabeth Cockerell. Gerard ( 4) was born in 1765, and married Miss Robinson, first, and after her death, married Miss Demerritt. Thomas, your ancestor, was born in 1768, and married Mary Young Sturman. Nimrod was born in 1770, married F. B. Atwell. Ursula, born 1771, married John Rob­ inson, first, and George Rust, second. My ancestor, William Spence Hutt, was born about 1773, and married Constance Eugenia Etienette Willard, of Paris, France. It would take some time to look up the de­ scend.ants of Gerard Hutt and Catherine Spence Hutt. The father of Catherine was John Spence, and his father Thomas Spence, whose mother was the daughter of Col. Youell. Col. Youell's mother was named Ann Sturman. It has b-een impossible to find out the names of the wives of Gerard Hutt, Sr. and Jr. It is possible that these names were Wyatt, Throckmorton, Meredith, or Banks, as all of these. seem to be connected with the family. My great-great-grandmother, Dunbar, THE HUME FAMILY 211 who was the daughter of William Spence Hutt, was named Liewelly Hutt, and it is a name well known in King George County, Va. * * * The Gerard family were very prominent both in Maryland, and in Lan­ cashire, England. Col. Gerard was Lord of St. Clements Manor, in Maryland. I have visited the site of the Manor House on the beau­ tiful Wicomico Bay. * * * Sincerely yours, A. B. BAINES. 79. 6 JOSEPH HAMET ESTES (45) was born Jan. 19, 1857. He attended school at Locust Dale Academy, and while there lived with his Uncle Charles Tatum. He was a bril­ liant scholar, and was graduated with high honors.

Two children were born to this union, Viola Gertrude, and Louella Evelyn. Mr. Estes then moved to Orange County, Virginia, where he engaged in the busi­ ness of a retail merchant. Mrs. Estes died when her second daughter was only a baby, in the year 1900.

Dear Cousin Sarah: Your highly appreciated letter was received some weeks ago, in which you asked me to excuse you for writing again, and reckon I would think strange o-f it. You must not entertain such feelings, but ever feel free to communicate with me. I only wish I could be of some service to you. I feel that I am the one who should ask to be excused for negligence and delay. You ask my opinion about a piece copied from a paper about the Hume Estate, I have never received it, so pllease send me a copy. I will be glad to give you my humble opinion or any information in regard to it. All join me in much love to your mother, daughter, and yourself. Write soon, again, as I wish to hear often. Yours very truly, J. F. H. KENNEDY. THE HUME FAMILY 215

Under the subject Fontaine Hume, the author promised to relate the circumstances of the discovery of the Fontaine Hume branch of the family. During the summer of 1915, Mrs. Mary A. Gardner, returning from a trip to the Pacific Coast, stopped in Washington, D. C., for a few days. Hav­ ing heard so much in the early part of her life about the Hume family, her ancestors, she thought she would love to know some of her kin. After a search through the direc­ tory of the city, she decided to call on Mrs. Frank Hume, and make an effort to locate her relatives. Mrs. Hume was found in her summer home, near Alexandria, Va., where she extended to Mrs. Gardner a hearty welcome, but was not able to locate the relationship of Mrs. Gardner with her family. Mrs. Gardner was directed to the author of this book who had been looking two years for some descendant of Fontaine Hume. He had about decided to give up the search, and say that the record of Fontaine Hume was not known, when Mrs. Gardner, Fontaine's granddaughter, was ushered into his home. Only a genealogist will under­ stand the delight which the author experienced with this visit.

After a short conversation with Mrs. Gardner, the author had no doubt that the long lost had been found. The author found Mrs. Gardner possessing the same lovable traits of character that are so evident in the Humes, and was over­ joyed with his new found relative.

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were as follows:

92 1. Pearl Cecelia Gardner, born Jacksonport, Ark., Aug. 7, 1873; married in Miami, Fla., April 23, 1906, to William Ballard Moore. 2. William Clay Gardner, born Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 8, 1874; died Sept. 27, 1875. 3. Ruby Agnes Gardner, born Dec. 18, 1875; died July 1, 1876. 4.

They have one child, a son, Alexander Griffin Friend, born Oct. 3, 1900. ADDENDA MISCELLANEOUS NOTES My dear Mr. Brockman: I am making another effort to get enough information together to include in your book. I am going to my home in Virginia the :first of this coming week and shall let you hear from me as soon as I have made a few inquiries. In the meantime, if you are successful, in any measure, in your inquiries I shall be so glad to hear from you. It would seem that I should be able to establish connection. My great grandfather, Armistead Hume of Culpeper County, was born in 1805 (or 1806) and married Ann Adams. Their names appear in the 1850 census of Culpeper County and the ages given are 44 and 39. A letter from the clerk of court at Culpeper says, "From an old THE HUME FAMILY 217 deed made by Armistead Hume in 1847 it would appear that his father's name was John and his mother's Frances." This agrees with the information. I have always had that Armistead Hume's father was named John and his mother Frances Turner. Among the chil­ dren of Armistead Hume and Ann Adams was Mary Ellen, born 1834, who married in Culpeper County George W. Vaughan of Cul­ peper County on Jan. 10, 1856. If I had been at home last summer when your first letter came about your book I think I could have straightened my line out in time, but I did not get back from Europe until September and then came straight on to Kentucky. With the hope that I may still be able to get enough together to be of use and wishing you success in these final days of your work, I am, Sineerely yours, P. F. Bishop. Mrs. A. V. Bishop, So.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME KENNEDY

Kennedy is derived from the Celtic Ceaunthigue, meaning the head of a Sept or Clan. The following account was taken from the Historical and Genealogical account of the Principal families of the name Kennedy, from an original manuscript by Robert Pitcairn, writer of His Majesty's signet, F. S. S. A., and the Hon. F. S. S. A. Perth, etc., published in Edinburgh by William Tait, and in London by Longman and Company. The Kennedys are originally believed to be Carrick, at all events, previous to the year 1256 A. D., Neil, Earl of Carrick, granted a charter in fa:vor of Roland of Carrick, who is proved to be an ancestor of the Kennedys. This grant 1.vas confirmed by King Alexandria III, January 20, 1275, and ratified by Robert II, October 10, 1372. (Reg. Mg. Sig. 114- 116). As the family ever after this grant bore the name Kennedy (the head of a house or household), it is probable that this surname was adopted commemorating this in­ stance. "Seeing that thair is sum nottis for memory, hereafter to follow off the name Kennedy, I thoct it gude to conterne thair beginning and how they rease to be great, and so forth to this hour." 6 THE KENNEDY FAMILY

Ancient Home of the Kennedy Family, Ruin of Dunure Castle, on the• Ayrshire Coast, Scotland, as it is today.

DUNURE CASTLE, the ancient seat of the Kennedys, stands on a rock on the Ayrshire coast, close by the sea, fac­ ing the rugged hills of Arran. Although now a ruin, its massive walls and battlements, its deep dungeons and vaults, and its commanding position, show that in the days of old it was a place of great strength, the fortress and armoury of the feudal chief Gilbert of Cassillis, who bore the name of "King of Carrick." The castle is supposed to be over six hundred years old, and is said to have been captured by a Kennedy who fought in the army of Alexander, at the battle of Largs. He took it from the Norsemen who held it, by storm, and entered it by right of conquest. For generations it was held by the Cassillis family, and was the scene of many a tragedy which the judgment day will fully disclose. It was here that kings and chieftains often met in council, and warriors sometimes joined in mortal combat. ORIGIN OF THE KENNEDY FAMILY AND ITS UNION WITH THE FAMILY OF ROBERT BRUCE, KING OF SCOT'LAND

Robert Bruce (1274-1329), known as the national hero of Scotland.-On the death of his father in 1304, he became the sixth lord of Annadale. At the beginning of his career he supported Edward I, hoping doubtless to secure his father's accession to the Scottish throne. Thus, as Earl of Carrick, he swore fealty to the English monarch at Berwick, and in 1297 renewed his oath at Carlisle. Shortly after this, however, he served with his vassals, under Wallace, the popular leader in the War o'f Independence, but after the capitulation of Irvine, he was again at peace with Edward. In 1298 he was once more a rebel, and burned the castle of Ayr, whilst five years later, he was again fighting on the English side, during the siege of Stirling. Henceforward there was no vacillation; he appears always as a champion of his nation's liberty, as one who, five centuries later, was to be the inspiration of many a patriotic song from the fervid pen of the National Poet, Burns. His secret alliance with Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrews, undertaken as a means of defeating Edward's ambitious projects, was an important step in his career. For all the clergy, Lambert had been the most loyal supporter of Wallace, and was there­ fore, after his meeting with Bruce, a firm bond of union between the two leaders of national movement. Bruce was crowned king by the Bishop of St. Andrews, Scone, in 1306. Events, however, soon happened which seemed to fulfil his wife's prophecy, that he would be a summer, but not a winter king. In June, 1306, he was surprised by the Earl of Pembroke, Commander-in-chief of the English Army, in Methven wood, and was compelled to seek refuge in the moors of Athole. Two months later he suffered a second defeat, near the head of Loch Tay, at the hands of the 8 THE KENNEDY FAMILY

Comyn's uncle, Lord of Lorn. Leaving his queen at Kil­ drummie Castle, Aberdeenshire, he was obliged to lead a wanderer's life in the W. Highlands, until he managed to escape to the Islands of Rathlin ( off Antrim, Ireland). Many are the stories which Barbour collected from the people, themselves, of the hairbreadth escapes of Bruce, and of his valor and calm submission throughout all the vicissitudes of fortune. Meanwhile his friends at home gave him up for dead, and Edward proceeded with his work of vengeance. The Castle of Kildrummie was captured, its defenders slain, and the queen was ruthlessly taken from the sanctuary of St. Duthaic, at Tain. Bruce's followers were executed, his lands were confiscated, and he and many of his followers were excommunicated. But Bruce's days of hardship and reverse were nearly over. Early in 1307 he landed at Car­ rick, and though at first he was compelled to take refuge in the hills of Ayshire, he rallied his forces, and at Loudoun hill, subdued the English under Lord of Pembroke. His final success was assured by the death in 1307, of his formid­ able adversary, King Edward. Edward II so effectually wasted time over the funeral and the fascinations of court life, that by 1308, Bruce was in possession of all the great castles, with the exception of Stirling. And this stronghold, too, fell into his hands after the memorable defeat of the English at Bannockburn, (1314). His superior generalship had deprived the enemy of their huge numerical value. It was an epoch-making victory, for never again did an English monarch conquer Scotland. In 1318 Bruce captured Berwick, which was henceforth a Scottish, instead of an English frontier. On the accession of Edward III, the Scots made wide incursions into the northern counties, but the treaty of Northampton, 1328, finally closed hostilities. By its chief clause, "Scotland shall remain to Robert, King of Scotland, and his heirs free and undivided from England, without any subjection, servitude, claim, or demand whatsoever." The fighting days of Bruce were now over. The last two years of his life were spent at Cardross Castle, on the Firth THE KENNEDY FAMILY 9 of Clyde. He was a victim, alas, of the ravages of leprosy, which he had contracted during his campaigns. On his death his heart was extracted, embalmed, and given to Sir James Douglas, who was to have carried it to Jerusalem, but he died whilst :fighting the Moors in Spain. The relic was finally deposited in the monastery of Melrose, whilst Bruce's body was buried in the Abbey of Dunferline. In Sir Walter Scott's poems will be found many references to this story. Such was the end of the Scottish champion, who was beloved and respected by his people, as was ever Pericles, by the Greeks, or Scipio, by the Romans. Bruce's distinction as lawgiver and administrator was not inferior to his military genius. Besides providing equal justice for the rich and the poor, reforming the abuses of the feudal laws, and procuring a succession of the settlement of the estate, he made many wise provisions for the defense of the realm; the garrisoning of the towns, and the fortifi­ cation of the borders and castles, and the arming of able bodied citizens. Nor did he neglect commerce. The con­ stant attention he gave to shipbuilding suggests that he foresaw the importance it would be to the countries later. King Robert Bruce's wife was Isabella, daughter of the Earl of Mar. They had one daughter, Princess Margery, or Marjorie, who married Walter, Lord High Stewart. To this union was born a son, Robert II, King of Scotland, 1371-90. Robert II (1316-90), King of Scotland, 1371-90, acted as regent during the exile captivity of his uncle, David II, and was most prominent during the latter's reign. In 1371 he succeeded David, and became the founder of the Stuart dynasty. He was by no means a strong ruler, and his turbu­ lent and strong barons, including the Earls of Douglas, Mar, March, and Moray, made raids into England at their pleas­ ure. The distress occasioned by these raids and their re­ prisals was very great; after the successful expeditions of 1384 and 1385 by John of Gaunt and Richard II, respectively, the Scots completely routed the English at Otterburn in 1388. 10 THE KENNEDY FAMILY

Robert III (1340-1406), King of Scotland, succeeded his father, Robert II, in 1390. The war with England broke out agJ-in with the accession of Henry IV to the English throne in 1399. In August of the following year, Henry entered Scotland at the head of a powerful army, and ad­ vanced as far as Edinburgh, which was, however, success­ fully defended by the King's eldest son, the Duke of Roth­ say. In the following year, however, Henry Percy (Hot­ spur) made a more destructive inroad as far as Preston in East Lothian. In consequence of the successes of the English, attempts were made to arrange a peace between the two countries, but without success. Hostilities had been suspended for some considerable time by these negotiations, when King Robert decided to send his only surviving son, James, Earl of Carrick, to France; and the prince, then in his eleventh year, was captured at sea by an English vessel (March 30, 1405). His detention by King Henry is said to have broken the heart of his father, who expired at the Castle of Rothsay in Bute. He was succeeded by his son, James I. King Robert III, of Scotland had one daughter, Princess Mary Ctewart, who married Sir James Kennedy, of Dun­ more, Scotland. Sir James had three brothers, Gilbert, .Alexander and Hugh Kennedy. They were the sons of Sir Gilbert Kennedy, and the grandsons of Sir John Kennedy. Sir John Kennedy's father was Sir Gilbert de Carrick. Sir James Kennedy died in 1466. By the marriage with Princess Mary Stewart, there was born one son, as follows: SIR GILBERT, first Lord Kennedy, married May, daugh­ ter of ---. He was succeeded by his son, Sir John, second Lord Kennedy, who married 1st, Elizabeth Montgomery; 2nd, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Alexander Seaton de Gordon; 3rd, Elizabeth, daughter of Lord Chicton. Their children were as follows :

1. David, third Lord Kennedy. 2. Alexander, ancestor of the Kennedys of Gervannars and Barqulianny. 3. John; 4-William; 5-Janet; 6-Helen, who married Adam Boyd, of Pendhill. THE KENNEDY FAMILY 11

SIR DAVID KENNEDY, third Lord Kennedy, and first Earl of Casillius, married Anna Bothwick, and after her death married Georgia, daughter of Lord Boyd, and grand­ child of King James II. Their children were: 1. Gilbert, fourth Lord Kennedy. 2. William, of Crosseguall. 3. James, Lord of Broneston. 4. Thomas, Lord of Coif. 5. Catherine; 6-Helen; 7-Christine. SIR GILBERT, fourth Lord Kennedy, was second Earl of Cassillius. He married Isabel, daughter of Colm Camp­ bell, Earl of Argull. They had nine children, as follows: 1. Gilbert, fifth Lord Kenn€dy. 2. David, m, Janet, daughter of Duncan Kennedy, Abbott of Crossegnal. 3. Archibald Kenn€dy; 4-Henry; 5-James; 6-Robert; 7- Janet, m. Lord of Freriche; 8-Helen, m. Lord of Kil­ kilt; 9---. SIR GILBERT KENNEDY, fifth Lord Kennedy, and third Earl of Cassillius, succeeded to his title in 1527. His wife was Sophia Kennedy, daughter of Alexander Kennedy, Lord of Bargany. Following are their children: 1. Gilbert, sixth Lord K€nnedy. 2. David. 3. Sir Thomas, Lord of Reiland. 4. Jane, m. William, Earl of Orkney. 5. Catherine, m. Sir Patrick --, of Barnbaroch. SIR GILBERT KENNEDY, sixth Lord Kennedy, and fourth Earl of Cassillius, married Margaret Lajone, daugh­ ter of Lord Glames. Their children were : 1. Sir Gilbert Lord Kennedy; 2-Sir John, fifth Earl of Cassil­ lius, m. Jean Fleming, daughter of Lord Fl€ming; he died 1615; 3-Hugh Kennedy. SIR JOHN KENNEDY, fifth Earl of Cassillius, was suc­ ceeded by his nephew Sir Jolin, who was the son of Sir Gilbert, seventh Lord Kennedy. ~ THE KENNEDY FAMILY

SIR JOHN KENNEDY, sixth Earl of Cassillius, married Hamiltone, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Haddington. Sir John's brother Gilbert, was the progenitor of two lines of Kennedys in America.

AMERICAN BRANCH NO. I.

REV. THOMAS KENNEDY, the oldest son of Sir Gilbert Kennedy, who was brother to the Earl (sixth) lived for some time in Donoughmore, in Tyrone, Ireland. He removed to Scotland in 1642. He had two children, Thomas and John Kennedy.

JOHN KENNEDY, a Presbyterian minister, married Lily ---, and had one son, Andrew Kennedy.

ANDREW KENNEDY was born in Ireland in 1747. He emigrated to America, and settled in Pennsylvania. The old President's mansion at 526-530 Market Street, was pur­ chased by Mr. Kennedy for $30,000. His descendants are numerous, and include some of the most prominent people in America.

AMERICAN BRANCH NO. 2.

REV. GILBERT KENNEDY was the progenitor of the second line in America. He, like his brother, was a Pres­ byterian minister, born at Girvan in Aystine, 1651. He had one son, as follows: 1. Rev. Gilbert Kennedy, elected as moderator in 1700; was the father of three children, a. Rev. Gilbert Kennedy, ordained 1704; emigrated to America in 1730. b. Rev. Robert Kennedy, came to America in 1730. c. William, born in Londonberry, 1695; ordained a Pres­ / byterian minister, 1704; married Mary dau. of Marian Henderson; emigrated to America, 1730. VIRGINIA BRANCH The descendants of the Pennsylvania branch of the Ken­ nedy family are numerous, and are scattered all over the United States. It has not been possible for the author to connect the Virginia line directly with the one in Pennsyl­ vania, but of this connection he has no doubt. Mrs. Linda W. (Kennedy) Wine, and Miss Carrie A. Kennedy, think that, from what their fathers have told them, the progenitor of their line, James Kennedy, who married Barbara. Smith, of Virginia, came directly from Ireland or Scotland. The author of this book does not agree with them, as he has proof that .several of the Pennsylvania Kennedys came to Virginia previous to 17 45. James Kennedy, the Virginia ancestor, was not heard of until shortly before the Revolu­ tionary War, when he resided in Louisa County, Va. There­ fore, it is possible, and more than probable, that James Ken­ nedy is descended from the Pennsylvania family that came _to York County, Virginia. Mrs. Wine has called the atten­ tion of the author to the Journal of Albert Kennedy, son of James Kennedy, in which he states that he visited relatives in Hanover and the lower counties of Virginia; therefore, it is reasonable to believe that these relatives were members of the Pennsylvania family. In 1744 William and Joseph Kennedy executed a deed in York County, Va., and shortly afterwards, William Kennedy, and his wife Hannah, of Chester County, Pa., executed a deed to William Allan, of Surry County, Va. With the above evidence, the author feels that he is not wrong in treating the Virginia family as a branch of the Pennsylvania and Scotch-Irish Kennedys. The writer feels that this connection would be easily established, were there available records to search, but on account of many of Vir­ ginia's most valuable historical records having been de­ stroyed by "a common foe," in 1861-65, he is content with the records submitted as being sufficient, proof of the above stated conclusions, and respectfully submits them for the kind consideration of the Kennedy family. THE HUME-KENNEDY FAMILY OF VIRGINIA Records collected by: Mrs. Linda W. (Kennedy) Wine, Culpeper, Va. Miss Carrie A. Kennedy, Roanoke, Va. Mr. W. Everett Brockman, St. Paul, Minn. BY MISS CARRIE A. KENNEDY First Generation 1. The illustrious Hume family had its origin in Scotland in years long past. Its history in successive generations is to be found elsewhere in this book, with the addition of the American branch, descended from George Hume, the Emi­ grant. Following the line to date of the marriage of his great­ granddaughters Matilda and Mildred Hume, to Albert and Granville Kennedy, respectively, this record is copied from the "Hume Book," published fifteen or twenty years ago, by the Hume Genealogical Association, of St. Louis, Mo. So far as the writer knows, this association is no longer in existence. George Hume, the progenitor of the Wedderburn-Hume family of America, was born in Scotland, in Berwickshire, at the castle of Wedderburn, May 30, 1698. He came to America in 1721, settled in Culpeper County, and engaged 1 in land surveying. In 1728 he married Elizabeth Proctor, a daughter of George Proctor, of Fredericksburg, Va. On his death in 1760, six children survived him: George, Francis, John, William, James and Charles. Charles, the sixth son, was born October 7, 1739, and died April 7, 1821. He and wife were buried near Oak Park, Madison County, Va. In 1765 h~ married Hannah James, of Fauquier County, Va. Miss James was born November 10, 1764. There were eleven children: The eldest, John, married Ann Clark, February 5, 1793. Their children were: Patsy, Lucy, Martha, Sarah W., Matilda, *Mary (Polly), Mildred, Fontaine, William C.,

David and Gabriel. John and wife are buried in the old Hume burying ground near Oak Park, Va. His grave-stone bears the inscription: "Sacred to the memory of John Hume, born May 21, 1766, died February -, 1838." On his wife's tomb are the following words: "Sacred to the mem­ ory of Ann Hume, born---, 1769, died January 14, 1832." Time has effaced the figures lacking in the inscriptions. From the marriage of Matilda Hume and Mildred Hume into the Kennedy family of Virginia, sprang the Hume­ Kennedy families on the maternal side. Turning to the Kennedy family: The first of this family known to his descendants in America, was James Kennedy, who is thought to have come to America and settled in the Colony of Virginia. The date of his arrival is not known; however, it preceded by many years the War of Independ­ ence. It was well known to his grandchildren that he served in the Revolutionary War throughout the long struggle. This fact is confirmed by the follo"-:ing information from records of the Pension Bureau, Washington, D. C.: "It ap­ pears that this James Kennedy was Lieut. and Adjutant of a Virginia regiment raised to defend the State Garrison during the Revolutionary War, and disbanded on February 6, 1781. He died March 10, 1828, and a claim for half pay on account of said services was allowed from the date of discharge to the date of his death, which was paid to his administrator, Granville Kennedy, of Henrico County, Va. There is no other data as to his family, and no other soldier of that name of the Virginia troops found on the record at this office." This document is duly signed by the proper authorities. Later records from the same source furnished proof that this administrator, Granville Kennedy, was the son of James Kennedy, and at that time lived near Standardsville, Va. The writer is indebted to Mrs. Linda (Kennedy) Wine, of Culpeper, Va., for this valuable information, as well as for other very interesting historical records of the family. Thorough search by Mrs. Wine, a great-granddaughter of James Kennedy, convinces her that his family descended from the Scotch families in Ireland, and is of Scotch-Irish 16 THE KENNEDY FAMILY

lineage; notwithstanding the Celtic origin of the name, as known in Ireland. Its meaning there is the Head of the House. The name was once written McKennedy in Scotland, and its bearers were attached to the Clan Cameron, enjoying all the honors and privileges of such connection. Mrs. Wine has made the interesting discovery that all of the Kennedy Families in both countries, who have a right to that name, came from the same parent stock, wore the same Tartan or Plaids, and used the same Coat of Arms. From records obtained in Louisa County, Va., we know that there were other members of the family with James Kennedy in America. Among the files there is found the Will of Garrett Kennedy, given under his hand the 3rd day · of September, 1796. This Will was proven in open court on the 14th day of September, 1807, by the oaths of two wit­ nesses, and then ordered to be recorded. Garrett Kennedy directs that after the death of his wife, Delphia, a certain tract of land and certain slaves be sold and the proceeds be equally divided among his brother Charles' son, William; his brother Martin's son, Launcelot, and his brother James' son, Albert. We feel assured, therefore, that Charles, Martin 1>nd Gar­ rett were brothers of James, and lived in Louisa County, Va. Again in the division of the estate of Davenport Kennedy, the legatees are Joseph Kennedy, *William Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, James Davenport, Samuel Shannon, Ambrose Ed­ wards, Nancy Kennedy, Polly Kennedy. Samuel Shannon married Polly Kennedy; Ambrose Edwards married Dorothy Kennedy. We have not been able to place Davenport Ken­ nedy with absolute certainty, but believe that both he and his legatees were closely related to James Kennedy. A sister, Dicey Kennedy, married James Davenport, in Louisa County, November 12, 1785. James Kennedy married Bar­ bara Smith, of Louisa County, September 14, 1790, who

THE KENNEDY FAMILY 17 was also Scotch, her family moving with James Kennedy to Kentucky and are buried there near Somerset, Pulaski County. The following record was found at Louisa Court House: To the clerk of the County Court: Sir: You will please let James Kennedy have license to marry my daughter Barbara Smith, and this shall be sufficient Warrant for so doing. Given under our hands, and sealed with our seals this 14th day of September, 1790. GEORGE SMITH, (seal). I - SMITH, (seal). Witness: JOHN SMITH. The following records were found in the State Library, Richmond, Va., by Mr. Brockman, the author of this book: House Document No. 6, 1835-36 James Kennedy, Lieut. State line, served three years as sergeant in the Continental Line and for his good conduct was appointed Ensign in the State Garrison Regiment; while he was Lt. in 1779, reported supernumerary in February or April, 1782. Enlisted services as early as 1776, as sergeant ( see report of this claim to Governor May 14, 1834, by the commander of Revolutionary claims, and the evidenC'e there referred to which are on file in the office of the Executive Dept.). An allowance was made in December, 1782, of 2666% acres of land for his service as an officer. He is entitled to additional bounty lands. James Kennedy is referred to in the following documents: H. D. 1834, Doc. 3, 5, 8; 1835-36 Doc. 695; Auditors Accounts VII, 173-79; H. D. Dec. 1829-38; War Reports, 5, 13; Peti­ tions 52 and 55. Following are the children of James Kennedy and Bar­ bara Smith: 2 1. Albert Kennedy, b. 1792, m. Matilda Hume. 3 2. Granville, born 1798, m. Mildred Hume. 3. Charles Kennedy. 4. George Kennedy. 5. Washington Kennedy. 6. James Kennedy. 7. Betsy Kennedy, married Jameson Rouse of Madison Co., Va. 8. Nancy Kennedy, married William Price. 9. One other daughter, m. Mr. Hayes. James Kennedy moved from Virginia to Kentucky, some time between 1815 and 1821, after seven of his children were grown. George, Charles, Washington. and James accom­ panied, or soon followed him. Betsy and Nancy are also found in their father's home in Kentucky. Betsy or Eliza­ beth, soon returned to Virginia and married Jameson Rouse 18 TH E K E N N E D Y F AM I L Y of Madison Co. Nancy married Wm. Price, and lived near her father, James Kennedy in Kentucky. Granville served in the War of 1812, while Albert and Washington enlisted in the War with Mexico. Where Washington located after­ wards, we do not know. There is only one mention of George after he went to Kentucky, and so far as we kno,v no record of Charles after he left Virginia for Kentucky; none of James, Jr., later than 1821. Albert made three trips to Kentucky, but lived in Virginia. Granville Kennedy never lived outside of Virginia. Albert married Matilda Hume, and Granville married her sister Mildred Hume. From these marriages on the paternal side sprang the Hume-Kennedy families of Orange, Madison and Greene Counties, Virginia.

Second Generation.

2. 2 ALBERT KENNEDY (1) was born in Louisa County, Va., March 22, 1792. After a liberal education he began to teach school. It was while teaching in Madison County that he met Matilda Hume, whom he married on Feb. 10, 1818. She was the great-granddaughter of George Hurne, the emi­ grant. For many years Albert Kennedy lived, farrhed, and taught school in Madison County. He was the first man to organize and teach a Sunday School in Mt. Zion Church, near his home in Madison County. When his son James Fontaine Hume was twelve years old, he bought and moved to the old Taylor home, known as Elmwood, three miles from Orange C. H., Va. It was from this house that he went to the Mexican War and to which he returned to spend the last years of his life. He was a staunch Methodist, taking active part in all church work, and dispensing large hospitality, not only to the min­ isters of the Virginia Conference, but to a wide circle of relatives. He died Sept. 14, 1864, at "Woodlawn," the ad­ joining home, where his son lived, and was interred at Elm­ wood. THE KENNEDY FAMILY 19

FROM THE COUNTY RECORDS OF LOUISA COUNTY Furnished to Mrs. Linda W. Wine, by the courtesy of Mr. Philip B. Porter, County Clerk. The Power of Attorney was given to Albert Kennedy, by his father, James Kennedy, who signed, sealed and acknowl­ edged the document on the 13th day of March, 1815, when it was recorded by the Court of Louisa. This Power of Attor­ ney gave Albert Kennedy the right to attend to and secure all of his father's lands in the state of Kentucky, where he had several tracts, also to look after a claim in the State of Ohio, and in Indiana Territory.

JOURNAL OF ALBERT KENNEDY Over One Hundred Years Old, in Possession of His Grand­ daughter, Mrs. Linda W. (Kennedy) Wine, Culpeper, Va. (Extracts.) Jan. 1, 1815, Albert Kennedy, anticipating this action of his father, began preparation for a journey to Kentucky. It is interesting to note his steps from day to day, with the incidents of travel, as they are here recorded. On January 9, 1815, he attended Court at Louisa, Va. The next day he goes to Hanover, then on to Richmond, from whence he returns to his starting point, on Jan. 21st. On January 28, he goes to Madison, and visits old friends, the Humes, Clarks, Frys, and others. While on his way to "Meeting," Feb. 19, 1815, he sees a handbill confirming the good news of PEACE with England. Early in March he goes back to Louisa, leaving his brothers James and Washington with friends until his return from Kentucky. (He seemed to have the care of these younger brothers in the early days of his manhood.) On March 16, he attended a wedding at "Grandfather Smith's." The bride was "Aunt Mary Smith," who married Joseph Carpenter. The 22nd day of March was the anniversary of Albert's birth. On this day he decides to keep a journal regularly. It grows more interesting as he approaches Kentucky, where he meets with old friends and rela­ tives who had left Virginia for their new homes in the blue grass region. On March 23, Albert leaves Louisa, passing on through Orange to the Clark's; on to Mr. John Hume's, in Madison. Nightfall of the 30th finds him on the Rapidan, where he lodges with Mr. Charles Hume. He passes from one countv to another, swimming streams, and finally reaches Kentucky April 10, 1815, unharmed and feeling devoutly thankful. Very wisely he rests every Sabbath and attends "Meetings." April 18 he spends at the home of William Davenport, a relative, and reaches the home of Mr. George Hume, of Scott County, near Lexington, April 22. Thence he goes to Louisville, Frankfort, Shelbyville, Danville, and on to the Clarks; to Lexington and back to Major Davenport's. May 12 brings him to the home of William Price, 20 THE KENNEDY FAMILY who married his sister Nancy. Later he goes to Paris and Millers­ burg. At one time he crossed the Ohio River at Brown's Ferry, but came back to Kentucky the next day. He sees his Uncle William Smith's gold mine. Again he visits friends and goes to Georgetown to see a relative, Captain James Wash. Finally he starts back to Vir­ ginia, from Major Davenport's, June 12th. He writes as follows, "On the 15th of June, I went to my father's land on Buck's Creek, Pulaski County, and stayed with Col. Griffin, who lives on a part of said claim; looked over the land with him; and had it surveyed, etc. There are 180 acres. I allowed him $134.50 for improvements. May 12, Mr. Fergus gave up his right to father's land on Marrowbone Creek, Cumberland County, Ky. I then sold the above mentioned land for $300.00." His task accomplished, Albert resumes his homeward journey, passing through Montgomery and Augusta Counties, Va., and into Tennessee, and back into Virginia Aug. 3rd he reached Uncle John Gillum's, thence he goes to Thomas Jefferson's; later to Capt. Wash's; thence to Louisa Aug. 5, 1815, having traveled, going and coming, 2,467 miles. On this trip he paid Maj. Crogham for a copy of an entry of 1,000 acres of land entered for James Kennedy. The next si~ years, Albert is in Virginia, mingling socially with the Humes, and associated with them in business. In the meantime he marries, in 1818, and his father moves to Kentucky, locating on his land on Buck's Creek. James Kennedy was accompanied by his sons, George, Charles, Washington, James, jr., and his daughter Elizabeth. His daughter Nancy had married William Price, and lived near her father in Kentucky. June 5, 1821, Albert starts on his second trip to Kentucky. This is very similar to his first trip. The same places and friends are visited as before, with a few additional ones, where other families resided. June 15, he came into Kentucky near Mt. Sterling. Several days later he went to Paint Licks, and on to Gen. Thomas Kennedy's. He does not mention any relationship with the gentleman, but stops twice on his trips with him. June 23, 1821, Albert reaches Pulaski County, and joins his father and family at Buck's Creek. He remained there sev­ eral days. From this time until June 28, he visits old friends and re­ lations. On that date he goes to his father's. Together they attend the Circuit Court at Somerset, July 30, 1821. August 6, 7 and 8 he makes a business trip to Mercer and Lincoln Counties, and meets William Sparks, and Caleb Tinsley. He writes, "Col. Henry James surveyed our part of the land, 436½ acres,-was busy to Aug. 29, when I made a compromise with Mr. Fergus, and bought a horse from McGuires." Sept. 3, he returned with his father to Somerset on busi­ ness, and to his home at night. Sept. 4, he started from his father's to Virginia. The number of miles traveled from June 5, when he left home, until his return, Sept. 17, 1821, was 2,444. Albert makes a third trip to Kentucky after his father's death. The following entries are found in his journal:

Dec. 15, 1828, I left home about 12 o'clock. Went to Stanardsville, and spent the night with Brother Granville. Dec. 29, spent the night at Dr. Williams in Ky., and went to the home of William Price; thence to father's old home in Pulaski County. Dec. 31, went with Wm. Price to see the lands at the old place, and to see Brother Washington, and spent the night with Sister Nancy, and met Charles, George, and Washington. Jan. 2, 1829,-at the old home place today. The negroes were sold, the amount of sales, $1,731.37 1/2. Spent the night at TH E KE N N E D Y F AM IL Y 21

Matilda Hume, wife of Albert Kennedy, was born May 21, 1797, and died June 17, 1862. She was a woman of great piety, and her gentle Christian influence was felt by all who knew her. She was buried at Elmwood, the present home of her grandson, Dr. W. W. Hume.

The children of Aibert Krnnedy and wife Matilda (Hume} Kennedy, were as follows:

4 1. James Fontaine Hume Kennedy, m. Ellen M. Smith. 2. Louisa V. S. Kennedy, m. Dr. Charles Wesley Hume. (See Hume Family, Par. 26). Three other children (deceased).

3 2 GRANVILLE KENNEDY (1) was born in Louisa County, Va., Jan. 2, 1798. When but a youth he enlisted in the \,Yar of 1812, in which his record was most creditable. He was married to Mildred Hume, great-granddaughter of Emigrant George Hume, March 8, 1826. After their marriage they lived for one year in Madison County, and then moved to Orange, subsequently the northern part of old Orange, with a portion of Albemarle_, which was set off into a new county, called Greene, in memorv of the celebrated Revolutionary General. The Granville Kennedy home fell within this new county, and was located near the present town of Stanards­ ville. Nestled among the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, the home and vicinity were known as "Mountain Valley." Into the home circle entered the refining influence of inti­ mate association with the Methodist preachers and classical teachers of the neighborhood, and the best surrounding social element. THE KENNEDY FAMILY ~

MR. JAMES FONTAINE HUME KENNEDY M THE KENNEDY FAMILY

The head of the house was a quiet man. He possessed mechanical and architectural skill, and while directing the slaves in the cultivation of tobacco and farm products, some­ times employed himself in repairing and housebuilding. Doubtless he built or added to the snug little home to which he carried the young ·wife. Here, with the exception of the eldest child, father of the writer (Miss Carrie A. Kennedy) all of the children were born, and here all grew up. Mildred, his wife, was gentle and lovely in disposition, but forceful in her influence over children and household. It is said that when her husband was unusually disturbed the mere touch of her hand restored his wonted equilibrium. She died suddenly October 14, 1853. Granville lived through the stormy scenes of the Civil War, while two of his sons, William Davenport and Marcellus, fought in the ranks of the Confederates. He passed c:rway at his home July 21, 1869. He and his ·wife lie side by side, with all save two of their children, in the little graveyard surrounding .Mt. Ver­ non Methodist Episcopal Church, near the family residence in Greene County. Their children were as follows:

JAMES FONTAINE HUME KENNEDY (2) only son of Albert and Matilda (Hume) Kennedy, was born Nov. 19, 1827, near Oak Park, Madison County, Va., where he lived until twelve years of age when he moved with his parents to Orange County, Albert Kennedy having purchased Elm­ wood, one of the old Taylor Estates, in 1839. The name "Fontaine" came into the family through the inter-mar~ riage of the Humes and John De La Fontaine families. John TH E K E N N E D Y F AM I L Y 25

MRS. JAMES F. H. KENNEDY U THE KENNEDY FAMILY

Hume, Grandfather of Jas. F. H. Kennedy, had a son Fon­ taine Hume and a daughter, Mildred Fontaine Hume. Fontaine Kennedy was educated in the private schools of his day, attending for some years the one at Montebello, the home of the Caves in Orange County, Va. Later he was sent to the School for Young Men at his Uncle Granville Kennedy's in Greene County. He was a man of modest mein with the attributes of honesty, truth and faith. His life was an open book and his nature free from guile; of Scotch an­ cestry, his heritage was of integrity, fostered throughout years of Christian adherence to the divine law-the type which leaves its impression on both family and friends. He married first Miss Penelope Peyton, who died leaving one child Peyton H., now deceased. On November 15, 1854, he married Ellen M. Smith of Culpeper, Va. He died in Wash­ ington, D. C., at the home of his son William Munsey Ken­ nedy, at the age of 81 years, leaving a widow and seven chil­ dren and was buried at Elmwood, Orange County, Va. His wife was the granddaughter of Isaac Smith of Hunterdon, N. J., and daughter of George W. and Maria (Freeman) Smith. She was born at the "Towers," in Caroline County, Va., built by John Walden (known as "Lord John") was a niece of Fauntleroy BaU and a lineal descendant of the Eng­ lish W aldens. Most of her young life was spent in Culpeper County. It was a beautiful life, being of that exalted type of Christian character which lives for others. The close of her life was a glorious triumph; anxiously awaiting the summons-fall­ ing asleep in Jesus, on her 82nd birthday, March 27, 1910, at the home of her son, E. S. Kennedy, Washington, D. C. As Mother, Wife and Friend we pay her but the just tribute. She was buried by the side of her husband at Elmwood, Va. Following are the children of J. F. H. Kennedy, and Maria E.

REV. JAMES SKIDMORE KENNEDY ~ THE KENNEDY FAMILY

5. 3 REV. JAMES SKIDMORE KENNEDY (3) was born in Madison County, Va., Dec. 31, 1826. His career was long and full of work as a Methodist minister, with several inter­ vals devoted to the education of the young in church schools. As a boy he was thoughtful and ambitious, never neglecting an opportunity for self-improvement. When about twenty years of age, with foundations well laid in a classical school which was taught near his home, he left the paternal roof in January of 1846, and traveled three hundred miles by stage to Emory and Henry College, located at Emory, Va., in Washington County. There he graduated in 1849. From his Alma Mater he received the degrees of A. B. and A. M. Later in life the degree of D. D. was conferred upon him by Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C. In the fall of 1849, he took charge of the town academy, Cleveland, Tenn., and a year later accepted a professorship in Strawberry Plains College, Jefferson County, Tenn. In this vicinity he met aml married Melinda Williams Stringfield. Returning to Vir­ ginia he took charge of the preparatory department of Ran­ dolph-Macon College, at Ashland, Va. At the end of a year, he joined the Virginia Conference, in which he served until the fall of 1857. Yielding to the earnest solicitations of his father-in-law, he then asked for transfer to the Holston Conference. Up to the time of his retirement from active service, the rest of his life was given to his church in East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Southwest Virginia. During the Civil War many thrilling experiences came to him. In the summer of 1863, he refugeed with his little fam­ ily from East Tennessee to Emory, Va. In 1865 he moved to Asheville, N. C. After serving one year as pastor, he took charge of the Asheville Female College. Ten of the best years of his life were given to this work, followed by two years as president of Weaverville College, Weaverville, N. C., nine miles north of Asheville. Again returning to the trav­ eling connection, he gave twenty-one years, unbroken, to the church, a short lifetime of efficient service, retiring from its ranks in 1898. However, he did not cease to preach THE KENNEDY FAMILY ~

Mr. Kennedy was a member of four General Conferences -1866, 187 4, 1882, and 1894. A friend, in writing of him said, "Whatever he did was ably done. He was a scholar of rare merit, a painstaking and accurate student, versatile and entertaining in conversation. As a preacher, he was thought-provoking and edifying; as a pastor, systematic, faithful, diligent, and efficient; and a gentleman by instinct and practice." He died Nov. 20, 1905. This record would be incomplete without further mention of his faithful wife, Melinda W. Stringfield, who was in every sense his fit companion and true helpmate. She was the daughter of Rev. Thomas Stringfield, and Sarah Wil­ liams Stringfield, and was born at her father's home, Straw­ berry Plains, Tenn., March 16, 1833. At the East Tennessee Female Institute, known as "The Old Institute," Knoxville, Tenn., she received her education under Dr. D. R. McAnnally. In the summer of 1851, she married James Skidmore Ken­ nedy, and together they lived and worked for more than fifty years. It was her husband's pleasure, as well as her own, that she should accompany him in his pastoral visits. During the last twenty years of his ministry they seldom failed to follow this rule. In these visits the poor were first remembered, though the prominent members of his flock were never neglected. Besides this joint labor, there was no church work engaged in by women, including various kinds of church societies, in which she did not take part. A fine sense of humor added to her personal charms, and the parsonage was a social center for old and young of the con­ gregation, its mistress delighting to dispense Christian hos­ pitality. James Skidmore Kennedy and wife spent their last days in the home of their son, E. M. Kennedy, Knoxville, Tenn. Her death occurred April 14, 1905. Seven months later he passed away, Nov. 20, 1905. They sleep in Old Gray Ceme­ tery, Knoxville, Tenn. TH E KE N N E D Y F AM IL Y 31

6. 3 WILLIAM DAVENPORT KENNEDY (3) was born in Greene County, Va., June 4, 1829. He was married Dec. 18, 1849, to Lourenna Miller Moyers, daughter of William Henry Moyers, a native of Culpeper County. Miss Moyers was born in Greene County, Dec. 5, 1825. Mr. Kennedy's life was short, but manly. He was a farmer in his home county, until he enlisted in the Confederate Army, whe.re he proved to be a brave and patriotic soldier. Early in his army serv­ ice he fell a victim to typhoid fever, prevalent in camp life, and was placed in a hospital in Richmond, Va., where he died July 10, 1862. His remains were taken home by his brave young wife, and laid to rest in the family burying­ ground near Mt. Vernon Church, Greene County. Compelled to bring up her children alone, lVIrs. Kennedy, by her heroic courage, wonderful self-reliance, and fine executive ability, won the admiration of all who knew he1·. The farm was managed entirely at her own discretion, and she had scarcely laid aside the arduous task when her sons reached manhood's estate. In later years she made her home with her eldest son, William Henry Kennedy, in Char­ lottesville, Va. For nine or ten years before her death she was blind, but always happy, bringing sunshine to all who were around her. Possessing a splendid constitution, and having an admirable disposition, she lived to a good old age, and through all her life was as loyal to the Church as to ~ THE KENNEDY FAM'ILY her family. She passed away Jan. 17, 1914, and wa:,: buried in Riverside Cemetery, Charlottesville, Va.

She lived in her father's home un­ til some time after his death, when she and her younger sister, Lourenna F., removed to the home of their mother's noble kinsman, Charles Tatum, near Oak Park, Madison County, Va. She died April 27, 1898.

8. 3 EDWIN C. KENNEDY (3) was born Oct. 24, 1834, in Greene County, Va. After growing up, his sight was greatly impaired from injury received while hunting. He went to California before the Civil War, returning to the Virginia home in 1866. Later he again went West. If he is still living his whereabouts are unknown. It is thought that he may have died on the Pacific Coast.

12. 4 LINDA WALTON KENNEDY (4) was born May 13, 1860. She married Charles H. Wine, a prominent real estate dealer of Culpeper, Va. Mrs. Charles H. Wine is the daughter of James Fontaine Hume Kennedy, of Orange County, Va., and granddaughter of Albert Kennedy, old.est son of .James Kennedy. The lat­ ter was of Scotch-Irish birth, he or his ancestors coming to this country before the Revolutionary War. They either came direct to Virginia, or first to Pennsylvania, and later to Virginia, where James and his children were citizens of Louisa County. Through the marriage of her grandfather Albert Kennedy to Matilda Hume, Mrs. Wine is descended in direct line from George Hume, the "Emigrant." By inheritance Mrs. Linda Kennedy Wine possesses ster­ ling qualities of two lines. Staunch, quiet, and thoroughly energetic in regard to all of the affairs of life-all pertain­ ing to mind and spirit, as well as those relating to the phy­ sical-she is progressive, enjoying to the full all that such a spirit gathers by contact with the best thought of the day, and unconsciously impartinJI to others this strength. Mrs. Wine is prepossessing in manner, entertaining in conversation, and a good writer. She is, at the same time, modest and very reticent in regard to herself. To her, life has had no common meaning. She has realized its oppor­ tunities and responsibilities, and has thrown herself with earnest and unfaltering purpose into the task of reaching her ideals. After fitting herself for teaching, it was her pleasure to communicate to others what she so highly vaJ .. ued. For six years teaching was her favorite employment. In Albermarle, Amherst, Prince George and Orange Coun­ ties, Va., she filled positions in public and private schools, where her work was well and faithfully done. On the 28th of November, 1888, she was happily mar­ ried to Mr. Chas. H. Wine, and went to Culpeper County to live. For the past seven years their home has been in the town of Culpeper. Here she gathers her friends and rela­ tives, making hers their home, and ministers with both THE KENNEDY F A MILY n

grace and pleasure to their comfort and happiness. 'l'he home is blessed with four young daughters, who are develop­ ing into fine young women. They are useful and ambitious teachers, having responded nobly to the joint training of a devoted father and mother, whose earnest desire has been to fit them for receiving and imparting the best in life. Truly it may be said of Mrs. Wine, "The heart of her hus­ band doth safely trust in her." The compiler wishes here to gratefully acknowledge the persistent, earnest and energetic efforts of Mrs. Wine in securing records for this publication. She has not only visited many of the counties in search of Court Records, but­ has on several occasions visited his home in Washington, and spent many weary hours in the Library of Congress in order that the information she furnished might be authen­ tic. Much of the information contained in this reeord would not have been secured, had it not been for the untiring efforts of Mrs. Wine. Mrs. Wine has in her possession the ,Journal of Albert Kennedy, her grandfather, which is over one hundred years old, from which much of this work has been taken. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Wine are, as follows: 1. Ruby Kennedy Wine, born Sept. 4, 1889. She was educated at Blackstone, Va., in the Blackstone Female Institute, from which she was graduated; Randolph-Macon Women's College, Lynchburg, Va.; and the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va. From the latter place she has re­ ceived her professional teacher's certifi~ate. 2. Alice Edna Wine, born January 28, 1891. Attended the Cul­ peper High School, and Blackstone Female Institute, from which she was graduated, Later she attended Ran­ dolph-Macon Women's College and the University of Virginia. From the latter place she has received her professional teacher's certificate. 3. Georgie Hume Wine was born July 9, 1893. She was edu­ cated at Blackstone Female Institute, and the Culpeper High School, from which she graduated. At the dose of the scholastic year 1915, she received the degree of Bach­ elor of Arts, from the Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg. Va. Miss Wine is now a teacher in the high school at Paris, Texas. 4. Eleanor Gertrude Wine was born Oct. 24, 1894. She at­ tended the Culpeper High School for three years, from which she went to R:mdo'ph-Ma'.'.on Institut9, Danville, Va., where she graduated in Expression and Academic work.

She received a liberal education from schools of her native State, Virginia, and was also graduated from the Peabody Teacher's College of Nashville, Tennessee. Many years of her young life were spent in school rooms of her own state, Virginia, and also in large southern schools. She was a faithful and successful teacher and wa8 greatly beloved both by her pupils and patrons. She is a woman of great faith in God, kind, gentle and refined in manner.

16. OSCAR LITTLETON KENNEDY, son of Jas. F. H. Ken­ nedy and Ellen Smith Kennedy, was born Nov. 13, 1867. With high ideals and untiring energy he was a man of unusual attainments, a thorough scholar, a faithful and suc­ cessful educator and a musician of note. When quite a youth he won the prize in the Competitive examination at the University of Virginia, giving him a free scholarshp at the State Normal College of Nashville, Tennessee, from which he was graduated in one year. He later attended and received his degree from the Vanderbilt University of the same state. After teaching for some years in large southern schools he returned to his native state and was for sixteen years principal of large schools in Berkeley and Nor­ folk, Virginia, also conducting a night school for the young business men and boys. He played the violin for years in Epworth M. E. church of Norfolk, Va., where his music was appreciated, but for which he refused any remuneration. It was while in Norfolk that his health became impaired, forcing him to give up his loved profession. After resting for several months at Woodlawn. his birthplace and boy­ hood home near Orange, Virginia, and studying for awhile at the Boston Musical Conservatory he decided to rest and travel, sailing from New York for London in 1908. In the years that followed he visited the principal Euro­ pean countries, spending some time in Berlin where he again pursued his music under famous masters. It was said of him "He played divinely." But his greatest pleasure was traveling with a great Scotch Evangelist playing in large churches and tabernacles, distributing religious literature and working among the peasantry of those countries. He returned to the United States two years before the outbreak of the great war. He loved and admired the valiant French people, and feeling he could do some good by playing for the boys behind the lines and ·be helped in the sunny clime of OSCAR L. KENNEDY OSCAR L.

He not only possessed a bright mind, but was a good scholar and also possessed a lovable disposition, being an acknowledged favorite with his family and friends. His wife was Miss Mary Elmer Kloeber, who was born at Lynchburg, Virginia, May 12, 1876, daughter of Dr. John E. and Mary S. Kloeber, his wife. They were married May 27, 1896, and reside in Washington, D. C., where Mr. Kennedy is of the firm of Kennedy Broth­ ers, in real estate. Following are their children: 1.

17. 4 CARRIE A. KENNEDY (5) was born in the home of her grandfather, Granville Kennedy, of Greene County, Va. Her infancy was passed in Virginia, where her father's work as a Methodist minister lay for a number of years in Notta­ way, Brunswick and Isle-of-Wight counties. Soon the itin­ erent wheel turned him into Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia, and later to Western North Carolina. Here she entered upon the arduous task of school duties and life be­ came real and earnest. At Asheville, N. C., a beautiful lit­ tle mountain town, she grew up. living within the walls of the Asheville Female College. She was happy to owe her ~ THE KENNEDY FAMILY education chiefly to the tuition of her father and others per­ sonally and deeply interested in her progress and welfare. Since that time the little mountain town, always beautiful for situation and always a center of hospitality and culture, has become a celebrated "Mountain City." The college prop­ erty now belongs to the city, and furnishes the site and buildings, with all modern improvements, for its leading public school.

After finishing the school course, Miss Kennedy rested a year, then taught three years in her Alma Mater. Follow­ ing this was a period of six or seven years given to private school work. In 1883 her lot was cast in West Tennessee, where she taught in Obion County, near the clebrated Reel Foot Lake. Returning to East Tennessee, she secured a posi­ tion in the public schools of Knoxville. Later she repaired to Virginia and taught for a short time. Then came a de­ cided change in her life. She was offered a home and clerical work by Mrs. D. H. McGavock of Nashville, Tenn., Secretary of _the Women's Board of Foreign Missions. This position Miss Kennedy filled for more than five years. The next six years were given to the same work under Mrs. S. C. True­ heart, successor to Mrs. l\1cGavock. After this came a period of nearly seven years in the editorial rooms of the "Chris­ tion Advocate," general organ of the M. E. Church South when Miss Kennedy was employed as stenographer and on general clerical work. In all, nineteen years were spent near and in the heart of the City of Nashville. During that time many opportunities came to Miss Kennedy for enjoying the best people and things; for making little journeys, and some­ times longer ones; for attending Chautauquas; for hearing the best of classical music, and lectures, and oratory of every description; for watching the movements of the times in church, mission and school work. Also there was the oppor­ tunity to note a prosperous city's growth.: to study much of interest in the capital of 1'The Old Voiunteer State,'' its past as well as present, and best of all there was the forming of friendships, lasting and ennobling. In 1909 Miss Kennedy returned to East Tennessee, and THE KENNEDY FAMILY ~

20. 4 REV. JAMES LILLBOURNE KENNEDY (5) was born at Strawberry Plains, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1857. He has been a missionary to Brazil since 1881. He was educated in Wof­ ford and Weaverville Colleges, graduating in 1877 from the latter institution in the State of North Carolina. He entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South in 1878, and offered his services a few years later to the Board of Foreign Mis­ sions of that church. He was accepted and appointed to Brazil, sailing March 2, 1881. Two years later he returned to his native land to recuperate from a severe attack of yel­ low fever. While at home he was married to Miss Jennie Wallace, daughter of Robert Wallace and wife Harriet. Miss Wallace was born Jan. 16, 1858, near Knoxville, Tenn. Her education was acquired in private schools, and at Branner Institute, Mossy Creek, now known as Jefferson City, Tenn. She was an attractive person and lovely in character. After her marriage to Mr. Kennedy, they returned to the field, where she soon became ardently attached to the work. For nearly thirty years she was a model wife and mother; most faithful and helpful to her husband, and to her he attrib­ uted much of his success. Side by side they ministered to all classes around them, but she was especially devoted to women and children. Failing health called her home in the fall of 1912. The best medical aid proved without avail, and she died Jan. 1, 1913, and was buried in Old Gray Cemetery, Knoxville, Tenn. The following summary of Rev. James L. Kennedy's work is from the pen of Bishop W. R. Lambuth, and was written two years ago: "Mr. Kennedy has frequently taken active part in directing the construction of our church buildings in THE KENNEDY FAMILY ~

Brazil. He has translated into Portuguese and published a book of Wesley's Sermons; the larger Wesleyan Catechism; assisted in the translation of our Ritual, which he published, as well as one edition of our Discipline. He compiled and published a Life of Wesley, besides a number of Gospel Facts. He has been a faithful, indefatigable worker, ever holding aloft the Banner of the Cross wherever duty called him. During his missionary life of thirty-two years, he has been superintendent of the entire mission for one year; pre­ siding elder for thirteen years; pastor on stations and cir­ cuits, twenty-three years; editor of the Conference Weekly, eleven years; Sunday School editor, four years; agent of the Publishing House, and book editor, two years; president of the Annual Conference, once; delegate to the General Con­ ference, which convened in Birmingham, Ala., in 1906. He is now (1913), president of the Sao Paulo Sunday School Convention. On July 12, 1913, in company with his daugh­ ter, Miss Eula Lee Kennedy, his sister, Miss Mary B. Ken­ nedy, Bishop Lambuth, and other missionaries and friends, Mr. Kennedy embarked again for his work, in the 'Land of the Southern Cross,' there to continue, he hopes, with still greater success, the work to which he has devoted him­ self since he was twenty-three years old." So it was that, on August the first, 1913, Mr. Kennedy, after an absence of eight months in the U. S. A., began anew his missionary labors in the capital city of Sao Paulo. From that date till now-the close of 1925-he has enjoyed most excellent health, and has dedicated himself actively to important city pastorates or to the presiding eldership in very extensive districts, serving, as well, on several boards of trustees of most important institutions of the church. Notwithstanding the dark deep shadow thrown across Mr. Kennedy's life by the death of his wife, whom he left buried under the sod of her native Tennessee, his Brazilian home was made very happy by the presence of an elder sis­ ter, Mary B. Kennedy, and his two accomplished daughters, Eula Lee and Jennie Ruth, who had graduated with highest honors at Randolph Macon Woman's College and other very near and dear relatives.

MRS. DAISY PYLES KENNEDY Wife of Rev. James L. Kennedy ~ THE KENNEDY FAMILY

His son, Wallace, remained in the United States and during the "World's War" became a volunteer member of the 80th Division of the American Army, and was in the trenches in France for thirteen months. WaHace has since married and is now an employee of the Federal government in the city of Chicago. On October, the 25th, 1918, his second daughter, Ruth, was given in holy matrimony to the Rev. Mr. Franklin T. Osborn, a highly accredited missionary of the Episcopal Church and is now doing, under the Rev. Bishop King­ solving, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Both daughters of Mr. Kennedy having now already married and his sister Mary intending to soon return to the United States, he would thus be left alone in the parsonage in Piracicaba. After six years of wiclowerhood, he was happily married to Miss Daisy Pyles, descendant of noble people of the Southern States. She, however, was born in this country of excellent parents, viz.: Mr. Judson Pyles and wife, Josephine McKnight, both of whom c:i.me to Brazil just after the "War between the States." A pupil of our best Brazilian schools-especially of the "Collegio Piracicabano," Miss Daisy Pyles pursued an addi­ tional course of studies at LaGrange College, Ga., and at the Nashville Methodist Training School, from 1905 to 1908. From this latter Institution, she was sent to Brazil as a regular missionary of the Woman's Council, of the Metho­ dist Episcopal Church South, in the year 1908. Owing to her delicate health, and acting upon medical advice, she resigned her official relation to the "Woman's Council," after having given a few years of very efficient and faithful service, as professor, in the "Collegio Mineiro," situated in the city of Juiz de Fora. Though no longer a missionary officially, Miss Daisy Ellis Pyles always shone for Jesus, and, as her health would permit, was generally employed either in private teaching or in school work either of her own church or that of the Presbyterian Church, in Lavras, where she labored not less than three years, giving much satisfaction to the directors Frank M. Long and Eula Lee Kennedy Long. James Alvin, between his parents. Eulalee next to her father. Lewis in his father's lap. Willard next to his mother. M THE KENNEDY FAMILY

The marriage of the Rev. J. L. Kennedy to Miss Daisy Ellis Pyles took place on the twenty-ninth of October, 1918, in the home of her widowed mother, at Santa Barbara, Estado de Sao Paulo, Bishop John M. Moore, D. D., officiat­ ing in the religious service. From this union, on October the 27th, 1919, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, was born one son, viz., Embree Moore Kennedy, who is now over six years old. His first name is Embree, after Bishop Embree E. Hoss, D. D., L. L. D., who was a dear friend of both parents. His middle name after a greatly esteemed friend, Bishop John M. Moore. Embree is a bright, lovable little boy, and if he can sus­ tain the good names of the Bishops E. E. Hoss and John M. Moore, not to say anything of the name of his parents, he @ould be a great and good man. Mrs. Kennedy is a very active church worker; she has been a delegate to more than one Annual Conference, and, in 1922, she was a member of, and took part in, the General Conference which met at Hot Springs, Arkansas. She is now District Secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Central Brazil Annual Conference. Rev. James L. Kennedy and Jennie Wallace were mar­ ried May 16, 1883.

THE BROCKMAN FAMILY

Origin of the Name-Early History of the Brockman Family -Brockmans of EEsex and Kent Counties, England -The American Branch.

THE NAME

BROCH AND BROCHE MEAN FROM A RESIDENCE BY A STREAM. THE MEDIEVAL FORMS ARE ATTE­ BROC AND ATTENBROKE, PLURALIZED BY BROOKS, BROOKES; BROOKMAN, BROKEMAN AND BROCKMAN. ALL ARE VARIATIONS OF THE SAME NAME. THE GERMAN FAMILY HAVE ALWAYS SPELLED THE NAME B-R-0-C-K-M-A-N. ONE AUTHORITY GIVES THE ORIGIN OF BROCK AS MEANING VASSAL.

Broch is also the Anglo-Saxon for burg or burgh. In Scotch it means and is applied to the ancient round towers or strongholds existing in the north of Scotland. In Gaelic­ speaking districts they are called "Duns," and "Caisea,ls" (castles). There are four hundred Brochs in different parts . of Scotland, most of which are in absolute ruins. They are known to antiquarians as "Pictish Towers." The best known examples of these are Mousa and Clickemin, in Shet­ land; Dun Carloway, in Lewis; and Dun Dornadilla, in Suth­ erland. The essential features in construction are alike in all cases, though there is difference in details. The exterior diameter differs in width and varies between forty and seventy feet. In the outer wall there is a small doorway about six feet high and about thirty-six in~hes wide. This is the only opening whatever in the outer wall, and is defended by a small chamber within the wall on both sides of the entrance. Furthermore, there are, some dis- . tance within the opening, sliding holes for a sliding bar to guard the entrance. The wall is about fifteen feet thick, ....__/,, I If I //, 1,;,11/I- - /f;- . ' I

BEACIIBOROTJGH, Early llomc of the Ilrockman Family, K ent County, England. EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 9 enclosing a circular courtyard, open to the sky, in which is frequently found a well. Narrow circling galleries arranged in tiers one above the other are built in the interior of the wall, connected by a staircase which winds from the base to the summit. These galleries are lighted and ventilated from the inner area or courtyard, sometimes called the "Well," by means of windows placed in perpendicular rows, and sep­ arated from each other by single slabs of stone. No Broch now existing is complete in its upper part, so that it is im­ possible to tell their original height and number of galleries built in the inner wall. Mousa has a height of forty feet with six galleries, and Dun Carloway thirty-four feet with five galleries .. Small bee-hive shaped chambers are built around the inside of the court on the ground floor, but in some cases the wall at the base is solid, with only one aperture in which the staircase leads to the gallery. The outer chambers have for their roof the floor of the chambers above. Extensive excavations have been undertaken by the Society of Anti­ quaries of Scotland, and many relics of the former inhab­ itants have been found. From the tools and the relics found it is thought that the Broch dwellers were agriculturists and that the Brochs were used for the refuge of themselves and their cattle from the numerous plundering bands that rav­ aged many parts of Great Britain. Most authorities date the building of the Brochs to a Post-Roman period, that is, not earlier than the fifth century. Harold, Earl of Orkney, besieged Mousa about A. D. 1155, but failed to capture it, The Brochs probably suffered at the hands of the Northmen from the ninth to the twelfth century.

EARLY ENGLISH RECORDS Early records show that the Brockman family lived in the counties of Hertfordshire, Somerset, Essex, and later in Kent County, England. The English spelling has been Brok­ man, Brokeman, Brookman, Brookeman, Brockeman, and Brockman. This is referred to in Visitation of Kent, Vol. 42, page 72, dated 1619. The church registers of Maidstone and Leeds show the entries of the name Brockman in the year 1200 A. D.

HERTFORDSHIRE COUNTY, ENGLAND :MANOR OF BROCKMAN.-This Manor was originally calJed by the name of Mymme-Hal!, and was derived from "In Mas North Meimms," of which it was holden by fealty and a certain rent. It derived its present name-Brockman-from John Brockman, from the thirty-fourth year of the reign of King Henry, the sixth. It is found that John Twyner, Esq., granted to John Fortescue and others, the Manor of Mymme-HalJ, late the possession of John Brockman, which John Brookeman appears to have purchased lands in the parish of John Nashe, in the ninth year of the reign of King Henry the Fourth.

The Brockman family of Essex County, England, lived on the Fawkenborne Estate, and the latest records show that John Brookman was Lord of Fawkenborne. The Essex fam­ ily, for the most part, spelled their name BROOKMAN. No further record has been found of this family. It is known that many at that time emigrated to the Barbadoes. In proof of this the author quotes, as follows: "List of Emi­ grants to America, by Hotten, page 467: "Parish Registers, The Barbadoes: Burialls in ye Parish of St. George's, from ye 25th of March, 1678, untill ye 29th of September, 1679: Amy, ye wife of Thomas Brockman, buried 8 ber 09 (Oct. 9, 1678)." 12 E AR L Y AM E RI C A N H IS TORY

SIR HENRY BROCKMAN OF BEACHBOROUGH, COUN­ TY OF KENT, NEWINGTON, ENGLAND Sir Henry Brockman, of Newington, County of Kent, was the second son of John Brockman and his wife Florence St. Legar Brockman, of the County of Essex. He purchased lands in this county in the year 1455. His wife was the daughter and co-heir of Jo Chilton, of Kent County. Beachborough is a seat in the northwestern part of the Parish of Newington. In the latter part of Queen Eliza­ beth's reign, it was bought by Sir Henry Brockman, who died possessor in 1573. The Manor House is still standing (1916) and remains in the possession of the Brockman family. 14 E ARLY AMERICAN HISTORY

Children of Sir Henry Brockman:

1. Sir William, m. Margaret Clark (of whom later). 2. J o,hn Brockman. 3. Julia Brockman, married Thomas Broadnax.

Sir William Brockman, son and heir of Beachborough, married Margaret, daughter of Humphrey Clarke, of Kings­ worth. He died in 1605, and his wife in 1610. Mrs. Brock­ man was 79 years of age when her death occurred. They had two children, as follows:

1. Margaret, married Sir Edward Duke, Knight of Aylesforth. 2. Sir Henry Brockman, married Helen, daughter of Nicholas Sawking.

Sir Henry Brockman and wife Helen had three children. She died and Sir Henry married again. The name of his second wife is not known to the author. In Berry's Kent Genealogies, the name is not given. The children by both marriages are as follows:

1. Margaret Brockman, m. Valentine Norton, of Fordwich. 2. Helen, no r-ecord found. 3. William Brockman, third child and oldest son by first mar­ riage; of whom later. 4. Nicholas Brockman. 6. Zouche Brockman, m. ., and had three chil- dren, William, -died 1696; Zouche; and *Henry. William had three children, James, died 1712; Henry, of Cheriton, married and had several children, one, Caroline, married Rev. Ralph Drake ( See Drake-Brockman sketch), died 1752; and William, the cavalier, died 1707, no issue. 7. Elizabeth. 8. Mary. 9. Agnes

*Sir Henry Brnckman was born Nov. 8, 1623, and baptized Nov. 16, 1623. The records of Sir Henry's emigration from England have not been proven conclusively, except that his father was engaged in the cause of Prince Charles, and that immedi­ ately after the death of Charles I every tenth man was killed who engaged with him, and the rest were sent to the Barbadoes. History (Myer's Central History) sh'?ws us conclusively that this occurred, and English Court records show us that Sir Henry and his family were against Cromwell ; therefore we feel certain that these men were sent to the Barbadoes. There we have record heretofore given, that several of the Brockman's lived, then took passage on ship under the command of Capt. John Jour­ da1ne, and landed in the colony of Maryland. Further records of Sir Henry Brockman will be found in this book under Head "The American Branch." E A R L Y AM E RI C AN H I S T OR Y 15

*Letters of Mr. Fletcher Simms Brockman Showing His Search in England for Records of the Brockman Family. England, Hythe, Kent County. MRS. J. W. SIMPSON, May 30, 1905. Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Mrs. Simpson. Since reaching England I have made the ac­ quaintance of the Kent County Brockrnans and visited the old family seat which has been in the hands of the family since 1550. Unfortu­ nately, Mr. Francis Drake Brockman, the lord of the manor, was not at home when I called and is now in another part of England. I met, however,. in Folkstone, which is nearby, Mr. Albert D. Brockman, a cousin of Mr. F. D. Brockman. Mr. Albert Brockman is much inter­ ested in the Brockman genealogy. He confirmed the information con­ cerning the family which I had gathered at the British Museum and some rurther facts. I enclose herewith a brief r•esume of this infor­ mation: (1) The name Brockman is not common. (2) .Most Virginia settlers were from the Cavalier;,. The Kent Brockmans were pronounced cavaliers. (3) The given names William, Thomas, Robert, Henry, John, Mary, Caroline and Elizabeth are common in both branches. ( 4) The family characteristics are strikingly similar. (5) The Virginia Brockmahs, as we first see them, l;lave just about the station in life, as prosperous leading planters, which we would ex­ pect from those coming from among the landed gentry. (6) There is a fact which would seem to point to another conclu­ sion, that is, the Kent Brockmans have always been churchmen; the Virginia Brockmans, as far as I can learn, have always been Baptists.t * * * Most sincerely, FLETCHER SIMMS BROCKMAN. S. S. Minnehaha, Atlantic Transport Line, July 2, 1905. MR. WHITFIELD BROCKMAN. My Dear Whit: We have not kept in as close touch with each other this year as I had intended. I do not blame you for not writing, since I know by experience how important it is to save one's eyes after a hard day's work on the Chinese language. I had expected to see your letters to Mother, but, for some reason, she has not sent them to me. I think she sends them first to Frank and he forgets to forward them to me. This does not justify me, h0wever, for not writing oftener than I have done. Mary and I had a delig~tful trip to Europe. We are returning now and hope to start from Seattle on the Minnesota during the last week in August. We shall look eagerly for you at Y okohoma. I understand that these large boats are apt to be long in making the trip and often much behind. So you must not be disappointed or discouraged if you have to wait. I have been much delighted that you have done such good work on the Language and yet kept your health. We shall have much time to talk things over when we get together. I am sure that there shall be much of interest to discuss. *Owing to the fact that the author had compiled this record before the letters of Mr. F. S. Brockman came into his hands, the suggestions contained therein have not been followed up. They are presented to substantiate some of the work of the author. -W. E. B. tThe author calls attention to the strife in England at this time between the church and state. History says, "]\/!any prominent families left the country and sought free­ dom in the new Colonies."-W. E. B. EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 19

Mother had probably written you tnat I "tracked" the Brockman family down, so to speak, in England. The old manor house, which was bought by Sir Henry Brockman in 1455, is still standing and in possession of the family. We met several of the family who were most cordial, kind and anxious, as they said, to claim kin with us. The family is a most honorable one in England as well as in Vir­ ginia. I will tell you much more about it when I reach China. ,:, * * Devotedly, your brother, FLETCHER.

To Mr. W. W. Brockman, Y. M. C. A., Peking Road, Shanghai, China. S. S. Minnehaha, July 7, 1905. MRS. J. W. SIMPSON, Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Mrs. Simpson: Your excellent letter reached me in London in good time. Before receiving your letter, I had received one from Mr. Alfred Brockman, of Folkestone, who is much interested in the Brock­ man genealogy, and not less than elsewhere the American Branch, gave, me these extracts from the Cheriton records. Henry, the son of William Brockman, baptized at Newington, Jan. 5, 1694. Henry, the son of William, gent., born in 1623. Before your letter came he sug­ gested one of these as the original American Brockman, since there is no record of their death. The first is rather early to have sold land in Maryland in 1674. The second is just about the age we: might ex­ pect. The William Brockman, gent., is in all probability the Sir William Brockman, of whom I wrote you. In the genealogy there put down, he is said to have two sons, Henry, who died without issue in 1622, and William. his successor. Mr. Alfred Brockman says, how­ ever, that it has long been the custom of the Brockmans to take the name of a deceased child for one of the younger children. Sir William was a pronounced loyalist, and led a force against Cromwell once at Maidstone in 1648, and was afterwards severely punished, that is, he was deposed as high Sheriff of Kent and heavily fined. It is not un­ likely that his youngest son would, under such circumstances, find his chances in England very dark. His older brother would inherit the estate and his father would have no influence with the government to secure him advancement. He would naturally turn to the West Indies or America. All of this seems probable, but I have not been able to get any proof of it. After receiving your letter, I searched such records of the Maryland Historical Society as were in the British Mu­ seum and found that Capt. John Jourdaine came to :Maryland with a party of Hollanders, all of whom were naturalized by the legislature of Maryland. They seem to have been people of some prominence. What seems to have been most probable is that Henry Brockman went first to the Barbadoes and there met Capt. J ourdaine and came with him to Maryland. There are several soerces of information in London which I did not have time to investigate, namely, the Mss. concerning Maryland in the Public Records Office; the Will of Sir William Brock­ man. A still more likely source is the material which must exist at 0 Beachborough, possibly letters from Sir William to his son, or of William to hip brother. There is also the records of the Barbadoes. * * * Faithfully yours, FLETCHER S. BROCKMAN. 20 E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S T O R Y

THE AMERICAN BRANCH

BROCKMANS OF ENGLAND, THE BARBADOES, MARY­ LAND, VIRGINIA, NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE FAR SOUTH.

First Generation

1.

HENRY BROCKMAN was born the 8th and baptized the 16th of November, 1623, in Kent County, England, and in the Manor House of Beachborough, bought by his ances­ tor Sir Henry Brockman in the year 1455. The exact date of his settlement in Maryland and his ren:ioval to Virginia is not known. The following record will furnish what in­ formation the author has of his Maryland life. Some time previous to 1674 Capt. John Jourdaine came from England via the Barbadoes, bringing many immigrants with him, as shown by the following record: In the Land Commissioner's Office, Annapolis, Md., there is the following reference to Henry Brockman: "Henry Brockman came and proved right to fifty acres of land for his term of service to Capt. John Jourdaine, of St. Marie's County, Md., April 27, 1674." (Vol. 18, folio 13.) There is no record of th~ Will of Henry Brockman. In reply to some inquiries made, the following information was given: "The Lord Proprietary of Maryland offered a bounty of 50 acres of land to any person who would come to this province to inhabit it. It seems that Capt. John J ourdaine paid the expenses of Henry Brockman to this province, he agreeing to serve him in any way that he desired. At the expiration of that agreement Henry Brockman was entitled to 50 acres of land; as to term of service, we cannot explain ; he may have been secretary to the Captain or served in some other capacity. We find no record of a grant to Henry Brockman. On April 27, 1674, Henry Brockman assigned his right to 50 acres of land for Term of Service unto Thomas Salmon (Liber 18, folio 13.) We have no record E A R L Y AM E R I C A N H I S TORY 21

of marriages in this office. The most complete record of Parish marriages, including all vital records, will be found at the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, Md." On account of the lack of County Records in many of the early settled counties of Virginia, we have not been able to prove conclusively the children of Henry Brockman. How­ ever, we present here what we believe to be correct. All available records have been searched for the Will of Henry Brockman, but without success. In King and Queen County, Va., where we first find the Brockman family, no records are available earlier than 1850, the rest having been destroyed by the "Common Enemy in 1861-65."

Second Generation 2. SAMUEL BROCKMAN (1) of King and Queen County, Spottsylvania, and Orange, is believed to be the progenitor of the several lines of Brockmans in Virginia., North and South Carolina, and the far south. Samuel Brockman re­ sided, during the early part of his life, in King and Queen County, Virginia. He was a wealthy planter and owned a large number of slaves. By a, Deed which will be submitted, Samuel Brockman moved from King and Queen to what was then Spottsylvania County, Va., but is now a part of Orange. The transfer took place in 1732, and Orange was formed from Spottsylvania, in 1734. Louisa County wa,s formed from Hanover in 17 42. The county is watered by the North and South Anna rivers. The surface hilly and the soil medium but has suffered some in­ juries from lack of system in agriculture. Several gold mines have been opened in the county but have not been worked to any extent. It was in Louisa County that La­ fayette matched his forces with Wayne at the Raccoon ford on the North Anna River. He crossed the river south of this point where Brock's bridge now stands. Louisa first sent Patrick Henry as a delegate to the House in 1765.

December 5, 1925. Dear Mr. Brockman: Have been waiting to hear from Mrs. Spangler but as yet have not. Am enclosing proof of Wm. Brockman and his wife Elizabeth also his children. You will see that Eleanor and not Moses Brockman de­ scended from William. I saw the record in the Court House at Burlington, Boone County, and we were so pleased at the explanation, it would seem it had been written that way for a purpose, "Eleanor Brockman wife of Moses Brock­ man." So you see Moses is still without an ancestor. The daughter of Eleanor and Moses married Elijah Rogers and I am working on the Rogers' line now, but will not be able to complete it for a year, as we leave in February for six months in Europe. What will the cost per page for material submitted on Brockman line be? There are only a few interested, I be­ lieve, would like to know if you had records examined at Albemarle County in regard to Samuel and Rebecca. I have made the copy from my original copy which was sworn to. Very sincerely, NOLA S. EICHELZER. Deed Book 21, Page 446. In Clerk's office in Orange, Vir­ ginia, I find a deed stating and proving that Elizabeth Smith was the wife of William Brockman. At a court held for Orange County on Monday, the 24th of June, 1799, this indenture of agreement between Thomas Smith, Elizabeth Brockman, James Smith, William Brock­ man controlling the estate of Thomas Smith, the father of Elizabeth Brockman. Witnesses, Jos. Barbour, Thos. Barbour, Richard Barbour, Samuel Brockman. Signed by MRS. FANNY STORRIE, Researcher. Book A, Page 430 T. Brockman heirs to John Brockman, whereas William (now deceased), died intestate in the state of Kentucky in or about the year 1812, seized of a certain tract of land containing about 221¼ acres, And whereas the said legatees of the said William Brock­ man, deceased, have jointly and severally agreed to relin- E A R L Y A M E R I C A N H I S T O RY 27 quish to Elizabeth Brockman (widow of the said deceased) each of their right and title to the 221 acres of land afore­ said during her natural life, and whereas Mildred Brockman, Eleanor Brockman (wife of Moses Brockman), Nancy Brock­ man, Catherine and Sally Brockman, five of the daughters of the said William Brockman, deceased, are each entitled in the reversion to one equal ninth part of so much of said tract of 221 acres after the death of said widow aforesaid, Now, therefore, this deed made the 4th day of December, 1816, between the said Mildred Brockman and John Brock­ man. In a deed from William Brockman to Lucinda, wife of John Brockman, I find that William Brockman conveyed 2/9 of this 221 acres, his share as son of said Brockman, and a 1/9 share which he bought from William and Jane Dollins, Jane being mentioned as another heir of said Brockman. Also a deed from the seven heirs of Elizabeth Brockman Mahanes, Albemarle County, shows that she is another daughter of said William Brockman. At a court begun and held at Boone Court House in Boone County, Kentucky, on Monday, 7th day of September, 1812. On motion of Andrew Brockman letters of administration of the estate of William Brockman, deceased, is granted herein, who entered into bond with William Brockman and Moses Brockman, his securities in the penalty of two thou­ sand dollars conditioned as the law directs. Signed, Will Lebree, Jas. Graves, Abral1am De Pew, Moses Scott, Weden Sleet, Mark McPherson. Sworn to by M. E. Rogers, Clerk of Boone County.

The Liue of Moses Brockman We have been unable to trace the ancestry of Moses Brockman, but it is believed that he moved from Virginia to Boone County, Ky., early in the 19th century. As shown by the records of Orange County on March 23, 1786, Moses Perry married Susan. •h.ughter of a Samuel Brockman. The possibility establishes a line of kinship and it is likely that Moses Brockman was a nephew of Susan. 28 E ARLY AM E RI C A N H I S T O RY

Woods History of Albemarle County states on page 389, "that Elizabeth and Moses Brockman emigrated to Boone County, Kentucky, early in the century." Moses Brockman left Kentucky in 1828, went to Clinton County, Indiana, settled and died there. Susannah Brockman, daughter of Moses Brockman, was born September 14th, 1779, died October 12th, 1884. (Taken from tombstone) in Clinton County, Indiana. Susannah Brockman married Elijah Rogers in Kentucky, went to Clinton County, Indiana, 1828, lived and died there. Moses Brockman is said to have gone to Kentucky through the influence of Daniel Boone. In the pages to follow you will read several letters from Mrs. Nola Sparks Eichelzer. Mrs. Eichelzer was a, daughter of Elijah Sparks and Elizabeth Sparks. Elijah Sparks was a son of Allen Sparks and wife Nancy, who was the son of James Sparks and Elizabeth Ray Sparks. Nancy Sparks was a daughter of Elijah Rogers and Susannah Brockman, a daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Brockman. Dear Mr. Brockman: In August I made a visit to my old home in Clinton County, Indiana, with the hope of getting some information of the family genealogy. My Aunt, Mrs. Sarah Sparks Miller of Frankfort, Indiana, told me that my great grandmother was a Brockman of Virginia, and that through the influence of Daniel Boone, Moses Brockman, her father went to Kentucky and then moved to Clinton County, Indiana, in 1828. One of his daughters, Susan, married Elijah Rogers. Their daughter Nancy was my grandmother. She married Allen Sparks and they had three children, Elijah, my father, Sarah, who lives in Frankfort, and John S. My father and John died some years ago. When I returned to Detroit I went to the Burton Historical Library and found your interesting book of the Brockman family. I wish to become a member of the Daughters of the Amer­ ican Revolution and in looking through the records found that Samuel Brockman of Virginia, was a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary war. If I had the right I should like to qualify through him for membership in the organization. There E A R L Y AM E RI C A N HI S T OR Y 29 are records in Clinton County stating when the Brockman and Rogers families moved to Indiana. My aunt also told me that we are related to Col. Richard Taylor through the Brockmans. As you have made such an extensive study of the family history I am taking the liberty of thus writing you to ascer­ tain if possible if I am a lineal descendant -Of the Samuel Brockman who was head of the family in Virginia in 1790. If I am I shall purchase one of the books without delay. NOLA SPARKS EICHELZER. 809 Atkinson Ave., Detroit, Michigan, October 16, 1925. Dear Mr. Brockman: Have been interested in the Brock­ man records for several years and have made several trips to Kentucky and Virginia searching records. I am a descendant of William Brockman, one of the three sons of Samuel and Mary (Henderson) Brockman. Have just learned that you are rewriting your book and wish to pass one thing on to you. My research shows that William, son of the old Samuel, married Elizabeth Smith. Have proof that this is the right William by a deed in Albe­ marle County showing .that Wm. Brockman and wife Eliza­ beth sold to Samuel and wife Rebecca their share of the land willed them jointly (Samuel and Wm.), in 1759 by their father Samuel, consisting of 350 acres in Albemarle County. Wm. Brockman was one of the signers of the Orange Peti­ tion and served in the Revolutionary war. His daughter Eleanor married Moses Brockman (perhaps a cousin). Wm. and his family and Moses and Eleanor went to Kentucky and Wm. died there in 1812. Only two weeks ago we drove past the old farm and saw where the mill had been. Moses and Eleanor are buried in Clinton County, Indiana, and have seen their stones. Have searched far and wide but cannot find from whom Moses Brockman descended. He served in the war of 1812 in Kentucy. Have made the research for sentiment only and if this will help will be pleased. Very sincerely, MRS. EDW. H. (NOLA S.) EICHELZER. 30 EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY

November 9, 1925. Dear Mr. Brockman: I went to Washington, October 19th, with the intention of going on to Virginia, but was taken ill so could not make the trip, much to my regret. I wanted to verify a statement of a deed in Albemarle County which is and no doubt will interest you. Page 118, Book 5, is the transfer. to "Samuel Brockman and wife Rebecca by William Brockman, the land willed to them by their father Samuel (350 acres) in 1759." It seems Samuel Brockman and Rebecca lived in Albemarle County while William and wife Elizabeth lived in Orange, near the Albemarle line. William was a miller on Priddy's Creek, also a miller after he went to Boone County, Ky. William was born 1740, died 1812, in Boone County, Ky. He married Elizabeth Smith of Orange and children were William, John, Elizabeth, Jane, Mildred, Eleanor, Nancy, Sally and natherine. Samuel Brockman, whose wife was Rebecca, died 1792. It seems clear to me that my William is the son of the old Samuel. Transfers of land in William's family by his chil­ dren show that they bought back the old homestead willed to Joseph, son of John, which Joseph had sold. Your Wil­ liam did not marry until 1784. It seems a latter generation to me. I do not feel like getting my line in shape. Have been ill for weeks and am planning to take a long trip abroad. But I feel so sure that my William is the right one and know you want to be sure also before going on. I know you could get a copy of the deed if you care for it. While in Washington I met Dr. Fletcher Brockman. My husband and I are interested in his work. He is a fine man. This is the first I have written since writing you last and trust you will accept it in the way I mean it, just to help if I can. Much success to you. Very sincerely, NOLA S. EICHELZER. My William was one of the signers of Orange Petitions in Orange County, 1782. E A R L Y A M E RI C AN H I S T O R Y 31

November 22, 1925. Dear Mr. Brockman: I must plead illness again in neg­ lecting to answer your letter. My research begins with the old Samuel Brockman and wife Mary (Henderson) Brockman, who had sons, Samuel, John and William. I think you start with the son Samuel, who is the second Samuel, and my William, born 1740, died 1812, was a brother. I do think it would prove very satisfactory to you to have the records of deeds of Albemarle County examine:::l. In that way I learned that "Samuel the second" wife's name was Rebecca. This was from the deed where William sold his share of the 350 acres of land willed William and Samuel jointly (1759) to use or dispose of as they wished, Book 5, page 118. This Samuel died 1792, leaving a son, Samuel, who married Nancy Durrett of Orange County in 1791. Also a son William, who lived in Albemarle County. Also found a record showing that William B. appointed his wn Ambrose to look after his busineRs, which name corresponds with your own. My William, brother of Samuel, who died 1792, also had sons, William, Jr., and John. The family all went to Boone County, Ky., in about 1806, William, Jr., went ·on to Howard County, Mo. Have examined your book several times at Detroit Library and to me it gives the impression that your William is the son of the old Samuel of the will. That William is mine and your William begins with the next .generation or the second Samuel. Do hope you will examine Albemarle records to verify "Rebecca." I have proof from Tax Records of Orange County that Samuel the third and William began paying taxes on the inheritance from their father, who died 1792. Mrs. Stovin of Orange did a great deal of research for me and she was fine. She proved my William a son of the old Samuel. Mrs. Stovin died two years ago quite suddenly. I understand Mrs. Wine is doing your work. She tried to do some work for me on my Rogers line of Culpeper. 32 E AR L Y AM E RI CAN H I S TORY

This is a very important piece of work and only wish 1 were able to go to Virginia and look through the recordi: again. Very sincerely, NOLA S. EICHELZER.

SAMUEL BROCKMAN (3), son of Samuel Brockman and wife Rebecca, married Nancy Durrett. There may have been a number of children, however, we have record of only one, Mary, who married Jacob Crossthwaite. The records to follow are taken from the Family Bible of Mrs. Peter Taylor (1765-1835), of Virginia and Madison County, Ky.:

Jacob Crossthwaite-Born May 12th, 1730. Mary Brockman-Born Sept. 15, 17 45. Married October 11, 1764. Dates of deaths not given. Children: Samuel Crossthwaite, born August 19, 1765.

Elizah Crossthwaite, born May 19, 1776. Mary Crossthwaite, born May 22, 1785. Asa Crossthwaite, born July 27, 1797. (The latter I judge was a grandson.)

Timothy C. gave the land on which Orange Court House, Virginia, now stands. The leaf containing the Taylor record has been torn out, but the tombstones in the Taylor burial grounds have the following records: "In memory of Peter Taylor, died July 10, 1812, in the 67th year of his age (17 45) ." "In memory of Mrs. Nancy Taylor, consort of Peter Ta,ylor, Sr., died May 26, 1835. in the 69th year of her age." E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S T OR Y 33

Mar­ ried Nancy Chenault, daughter of William Chenault and his wife, Susannah Phelps. He left one daughter, Susan, who married James A. Harris, Lincoln County, Ky. Her descendants prominent and wealthy. Samuel Taylor was an invalid for a year hefore he died. His brother, Dr. William Taylor, took him back to Virginia to visit relatives.

Tabitha Taylor Phelps My grandmother was a beautiful woman of much dignity, black eyes and hair and bore a striking resemblance to her mother, Mrs. Nancy Crossthwaite Taylor. My father, Thomas Phelps, bore a striking resemblance to his mother. He was 6 feet 2 inches tall and one of the handsomest men I have ever seen,-brown eyes and his hair turned gray at 70 years. The brown eyes and hair were from grandmother Taylor. Tabitha Taylor Phelps, you see, valued her Brock­ man descent so highly that she put Brockman the names of E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S T O R Y 35 three of her children. In 1910 while in Rome, Italy, I had the portraits painted in oil of my father and mother by Liguor Guido Gindi, to whom I carried a letter of introduc­ tion. My mother was with me and sat for hers, but I only had a small wood cut of my father. Portraits of my father and mother painted before this are owned by my sister. The Rome portrait of my father is excellent. The Taylor name is extinct since the three sons who married left only daughters. Partial list of slaves of Peter Taylor.

WILLIAM BROCKMAN (3) of Albema,rle County lived on Priddy's Creek, owned a considerable quantity of land, and had one of the first mills erected in that section. He died in 1809. A Baptist Church, the predecessor of· the present Priddy Creek Church, was on his land, and he devised it to the congregation, who used it as a place of worship. Following is the Will of William Brockman:

212 South Glenwood Ave., Peoria, Illinois, November 25, 1922. My Dear Mr. Brockman: I have been trying for some time to straighten out my friend's line of Brockmans, but so far I have been unable to do so. I have also been trying to purchase one of the books you compiled, as I felt that I could place my line or rather one of my Brockman lines. Do you have any more copies, if not could you send me one of your copies to read and I will return same promptly. I can give you any reference you may want. I am the His­ torian of our D. A. R. Chapter here. I find in the Census of 1790 that there were at that time the following Brockmans in Albemarle County, Virginia, as heads of families: John, Lewis, Samuel, Samuel, Jr., Wil­ liam, also another William, and I also find the same heads of families in Orange County. I do not know that one of the above heads of families was our family because I have the following data: William Brockman was born Jan. 17, 1777, and his wife was also a Brockman. Lucy Brockman was born Jan. 19, 1787, and they were married in Albemarle County, in February 3, 1806, by the Rev. Jacob Watts. Their children were Burlinda Brockman. Born October 22, 1807, and Willis Brockman, born August 13th, 1809, and Nancy Brockman, born Sept. 4, 1811; Simms Brockman (our line), born Ma.y 22nd, 1813; John Brockman, born Jan. 11, 1816; Elizabeth Emry, born March 25, 1818; William M., born Jan. 27, 1829; Ellen, born Aug. 28, 1822, and Julian Brockman, born Jan. 28, 1825. Now, can you tell me who the parents of either William or Lucy were? It would seem that we ought to get a Revolu­ tionary ancester from one of these lines. That is what I am most anxious to get right now. Please let me hear from you at your very earliest convenience. I have been working on this line so long that I am beginning to get out of patience. Yours sincerely, MRS. GEORGE SPANGLER. E A R L Y AM E R l C A ~ H I S T O R Y 39

5D JOHN BROCKMAN (2) of Spottsylvania and Orange Counties, Va., married Mary---, and had a large family. The name of his wife is not known for certain, but is thought to have been Collins, as evidence of which I quote from the Will of Joseph Collins: "Spottsylvania County, Va., Nov. 11, 1752. Part of my estate to my daughter Mary Brockman. * * * This Will is signed by Joseph Coilins and witnessed by Samuel and William Brockman." In 1752 John Brockman purchased land in Louisa County from Philipp Aylett (Elliott), on the Northanna River. Previous to this he resided with his father, Samuel Brock­ man, in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County. He was a pros­ perous land owner and owned a large number of slaves. He died before his father in 1756. The following Deed to John Brockman was copied from the records at Louisa, Va., by the author:

AMBROSE BROCKMAN (4) of Albemarle County, Va., married Nancy, the daughter of Capt. William Sims. Am­ brose Brockman was Ensign, and 1st Lieut. in 1st Company, 88th Reg., of the Revolutionary War. He enlisted in the 88th regiment north of the Three Notch Road, 1st Battalion. Previous to the War he was a Baptist minister. No record is available of their children.

SAMUEL BROCKMAN ( 4) of Albemarle County, died before 1807. His wife was Ann, daughter of Capt. William Sims, and sister to his brother's wife. He was a Revolu- E A R L Y A M E RI C AN H I S T O R Y 43 tionary soldier and served as Ensign, 1st Lieut., and Cap­ tain, having enlisted in the regiment with his brother Ambrose. William Sims lived in the northeastern part of the county on the waters of Priddy's Creek and Blue Run. The first mention of his name occurs in 1779, when he bought land in that neighborhood from Josiah Bush. He was a captain of a militia company in the War of the Revolution. He built one of the first mills on Priddy's Creek, and for many years it was a noted point in that vicinity. He died in 1797. He and his wife Agatha had nine daughters and two sons, as follows: Mary, the wife of John During; Elizabeth, the wife of Jno. lVIcCann; Lucy, the wife of Jno. Dalton; Joanna, the wife of James Onsley; Ann, the wife of Samuel Brockman; Nancy, the wife of Ambrose Brockman; Agatha, the wife of Catterton; Frances, the wife of Richard Flint; and Rosa­ mond, the wife of Joseph Williams; Robert and Jolin were the two boys. James Sims, who lived in the same section, was probably a brother to William, certainly the guardian of his younger children. He was twice married, first to Mildred, daughter of Richard Durett, and second, to J-­ Earley. He had two sons, Richard and Isaac. Richard D. married Elizabeth, daughter of David Clark­ son, and his children were Elizabeth, the wife of Edward Wingfield; Jane, the wife of Tandy Brockman; Cornelia, the wife of Rev. Robt. Watts; and Lucy Ann, the wife of James D. Watts. His home was near the mouth of Priddy's Creek. He died in 1862. Isaac died in the Buck Mountain District in 1836. His wife was Nancy Catterton.

SAMUEL BROCKMAN (5d) of Trinity Parish, Louisa County, Virginia, was the oldest son of John and Mary Brockman. The name of his wife is not known. A daughter Susan married Moses Perry, and had children, Nancy and Jessie Perry, as shown by the Orange County Records on March 23, 1786, a license was issued for Moses Perry and Susan Brockman, with Samuel Brockman, presumably her father, signing as security for performance of the marria,ge contract. It is thought that Samuel Brockman also had a daughter, Sarah, as we find tha,t on September 14, 1784, a license was issued for marriage of Thomas Bibb and Sarah daughter of Samuel Brockman. Mrs. Edna White Mccamp­ bell thinks that Jane Brockman, who married Roderick Perry, was also a daughter of Samuel Brockman. The cor­ respondence relative to it will be found in the following pages. Roderick Perry of Louisa County, Va., October 8, 1792, sold to Edmund Burton of the same County two hundred acres therein, Roderick Perry's wife, Jane, joining in the transfer-Louisa, Louisa Co., Va., County Clerk's Office Book G.

In it he men­ tioned his sons, William, Thomas, and Thornton; also his daughters, --- Langford, Polly Fitch or Fitz, Patrick, Elizabeth Bates and Sally Eaiter. Charlottesville, Albemarle Co., Va., County Clerk's Office, Book 6, Page 293. It is probable that Nancy (Perry) White belonged to the same Perry family as the above mentioned Perry's.

"Dear Edna: I received your letter yesterday afternoon, was glad to hear from you and to know that someone else in the family feels an interest in our lineage. . He (Robert White) married Miss Perry of Va., a cousin of Com­ modore Perry. Sincerely, Nashville, May 16, 1906. Cousin Lou."

Dear Mr. Brockman: Through the courtesy of Mrs. E. M. Kennedy I have had access to your most interesting book, Hume, Kennedy and Brockman families. Samuel Brockman of Trinity Parish, Louisa County, Vir­ ginia, had grandchildren, Nancy Perry and Jessie Perry, Louisa, Louisa County, Virginia, County Clerk's Office, Book 1, Page 107. Persistent tradition in the Tennessee branch of this fam­ ily says Nancy Perry was a cousin of Commodore Perry. If possible will you kindly refer me genealogies of the Perry family that will prove this tradition? 46 E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S T O R Y

Will you please tell me, also, who was the father of Samuel Brockman of Trinity Parish, Louisa County, Vir­ ginia? I shall greatly appreciate this information. Edna White McCampbell.

lVIr. W. E. Brockman: Before the second edition of the Brockman book is published I very much hope that the line of Samuel Brockman of Trinity Parish, Louisa County, Vir­ ginia, can be completed. I have compiled a great deal of genealogical data on the Perry, White and Poindexter families of Virginia. These families were connected with the Washington Pages and practically all of the old colonial families of Virginia. I do not know the name of Nancy Perry's father and mother. She was a cousin of Commodore Perry, if family tradition is correct in this case. When further data is collected on the Samuel Brockman line it may be that data on Nancy Perry will be found. She was born in 1784 and married Robert White in 1800. I am much interested in the second edition of tbe Brock­ man book and trust it will not be long before it comes out. Edna, White McCampbell. 614 Walnut Street, Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 3, 1925. Mr. W. E. Brockman, 405 Marquette Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Mr. Brockman, Your letter of Dec. 1st has just been received. If Samuel Brockman of Trinity Parish, Louisa, County, had a daughter, Jane, I believe she was the wife of Roderick Perry. I am enclosing an excerpt from a letter, from Miss Lida B. Perry, who has considerable data on the Perrys. It is probable that Roderick Perry was descended from Edward Perry of St. Mary's County, Maryland, likewise, the latter may have been a descendant of Samuel Perry, who EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 47 married Mary Tucker, May 9, 1690. The Brockmans were in Maryand before going to Virginia, and I trust the enclosed notes may assist you in connecting the two lines. Very truly yours, (Mrs. H. H.) Edna White McCampbell.

JOHN BROCKMAN (5) of St. Thomas Parish, Orange County, Virginia, married Amelia Martin. He was born in Virginia about the year 17 40, where he resided until all of his children were born, and most of them grown. He then moved to North Carolina, and thence to South Ca,rolina. A record in the Bible of his grandson, Col. Thomas Brock­ man, showing the death of John Brockman, Sr., as having taken place Aug. 13, 1825, is thought to be the record of our subject. Mr. Brockman was a Colonel in the American Rev­ olution.

My Dear Mr. Brockman: I have succeeded in finding military da.ta of John Brock­ man and I take pleasure in sending the information to you. Mr. C. A. Norris of Raleigh, N. C., was most helpful to me. My application for membership was favorably passed upon and I now am a D. A. R. I am still working on John Owen for supplementary papers. John Brockman enlisted from Caswell County, N. C., and adjoining County to Gilford County. So you see it was dur­ ing his stay in North Carolina that he served in war. I listed him "Officer" in my application, as size of pay warranted my listing it. His mention as being paid for ser­ vices is the only record Mrs. Norris could find, but that wa,s E A R LY A M E R I C A N H I S TORY 49 sufficient for our papers. My papers were sent in June 1st and returned by June 10th. I copied the family history from your book, also referred them to your history. I appreciate any kindness you have done in the past, and it is a great pleasure to send you a copy of my record. Cordially yours, ANNIE L. FEAGLE (Signed).

ASA BROCKMAN (14) was born in St. Thomas Parish, Orange County, Va. At the death of his father he moved from the home place near Monrovia to a plantation near Thorn Hill, Va., where he held land jointly with his brother Oswald. Some time after 1807 he married Lucy Ellis Qui­ senberry, the youngest child of Aaron Quisenberry, Jr., and Sallie Ellis Quisenberry, his wife, both of Orange County. After returning from the War of 1812, Mr. Brockman sold his property to John Estes, whose descendants reside there at this time (1916). Mr. Brockman's wife was of German descent and came from one of the oldest and most honored families of Germany. It is appropriate at this time to give a short sketch of a family so well known, and one which has taken such an active part in the development of Piedmont, Virginia.

QUISENBERRY.

(From Quisenberry Family, by A. C. Quisenberry.)

The Quisenberry family of America is descended from Thomas Quisenberry, of Eng1and, who settled in Virginia in 1624. He descended from Henrich Von Questenberry, of Cologne, Germany, who became a citizen of England about 1468, and who was of the elder branch of the family of Questenberry at Cologne. Falmes Cologne Berglish Families says: "The Questen­ bergs or Quisenberrys, a Cologne family, is remarkable, as it rose in three generations from ordinary burghs, to become Barons, Counts, and Imperial Counts." Henrich von Questenberg was the founder of the English branch of the family. He was educated at Cologne Univer­ sity. As a young man he went to England in connection with the Hanseatic interests of his family, and in 1467 mar­ ried an English girl, Catherine, of Canterbury. For this, which they considered an offense to the family, he was dis- 62 E AR L Y A M E R I C AN H I S T O RY inherited and expelled from the Hanseatic League.

One of the transfers of property at Louisa Courthouse shows the connection between the unborn child \I Ii. \\'JTJTFlELD \\ \I.TON llROCK\f.\X .\:--D \\'!FF, IXL\ ('\!,,SELS (Lake) HIWCK\I \'\, .\:'\D Tl!FlR T\\'O CIIILDRFN, \\'JLUS BLO('KFR .\\D ROS\ WOOD BROCK\I.\N.

HENRY WILLIAM CLARK (45) was born in Laurens District, S. C., May 22, 1825. The family moved to the State of Ga., when he was a child, in 1829. He professed re­ ligion when he was about fifteen years old, and became a member of the Baptist Church.

In the month of May, 1870, Mr. Clark moved to the city of Montgomery, Ala., and took possession of a purchase he made for ten thousand dollars. For several years he was engaged in the life insurance business. In 1876 he engaged in the manufacture and .sale of yellow pine lumber, and was thus employed for twelve years. In 1881 he was attacked with bronchitis from which he never recovered. Mr. Clark is the author of the "Genealogy of the Brock­ man, Parks, Dean, Davis, and Goss Families," published about ten years ago. It was through the kindness of Mrs. 102 E A R L Y AM E RI C A N H I S T ORY

M. J. Stewart, the oldest daughter of Mr. Clark, that the author of this book was able to use his records of the South­ ern Branch of the Brockman family. These recol'ds were secured by Mr. Clark with the aid of Dr. Thomas M. Owen, of Montgomery, Ala., and published in book form. The author is indebted to Doctor Owen for his assistance in securing theright to use Doctor Clark's work, which was copyrighted, and is incorporated herein. In politics, Mr. Clark was a Democrat. He received the degree of Royal Arch Mason in 1864; served as secretary 1864-66; served as King in 1869; received the order of High Priest in 1867; was a Knight Templar, and was cre­ ated a Knight of the Illustrious Order of the Knights of the Red Cross in 1868; was introduced, created, and dubbed a Knight Templar and Knight of Malta, or order of Holy St. John of Jerusalem in 1868.

They were married at the residence of her parents in Chambers County, Ala., Sept. 19, 1848, her uncle, Elder Benjamin Goss officiating. She was a young woman of attractive personality with a happy faculty for entertaining her friends. She made a frugal and industrial housekeeper and a proper helpmate to her husband. She was of a sympathetic nature, pitied the poor and afflicted, and was always ready to give to their aid and support. She lived a consistent member of the Baptist Church, which she joined in early life, and had an abiding faith in the promises of the Gospel. She died at the family residence in Houston Street, Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 12, 1893, and her remains were interred in the family burying ground in that city. The children of I-1. W.

NEWTON LELAND BENNETT. Of the seven sons of Mark and Lucetta Brockman Bennett, the oldest survivor is Newton Leland. At seventeen he volunteered with Company B, 13th Regiment, S. C. V., and drilled with the company encamped at the Lightwoodknot Spring, near Columbia, S. C.; but was not mustered into service at that time. Acting under the advice of Capt. Brockman, he returned to his home, and spent the last five months of his school life in attendance at the Reidville Male High School, where he dis­ tinguished himself as a student in English. He went to Virginia in 1863, and shared the fate of his company there­ after until the surrender. ' 1He was often almost miracu­ lously preserved from injury, and never had to stay in a hospital or be left behind among stragglers., but was always to the front-bright, cheerful, full of repartee, encouraging his comrades to do their best." He attributes his preserva­ tion to the prayers of a devoted mother and of his godly uncle, Denny Bennett, the father of the lamented James W. Bennett. E A R L Y AM E R I C A N H I S T OR Y 107

JAMES DENNY LEONARD, the third son of Thomas and Elizabeth Anderson Leonard, was born September 4th, 1842, at the old home near Sharon church. In the schools of the neighborhood and in the Reidville Male High School he secured a good practical education. In August, 1861, he entered the Confederate service under Col. Benjamin K. Brockman in Company B, Thirteenth Regiment, S. C. V., and was promoted to a lieutenancy in 1864. He was wounded at Chancellorsville and Second Manassas. E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S T OR Y 109

After the war he and his only living brother, David Oliver Leonard, entered the mercantile business together in Reid­ ville, South Carolina, and were successful in this and in their farming interests. For six years he was. supervisor of Spartanburg County, after having served two years as county commissioner. In the administration of these public trusts he showed the same energy, diligence and efficency that marked the conduct of his private business. He united with the Methodist church at Sharon, August, 1860, under the ministry of the Rev. E. A. Lemon, and after­ wards served his church as steward, Sabbath school super­ intendent, secretary of quarterly conference, and trustee of church property, holding the last named office until his death. He took an active part in Masonry from his early manhood, and was always a conscientious Christian gentle­ man. In his home he was genial, gracious, hospitable; as a friend he was frank and loyal; as a citizen, staunch, pro­ gressive and rigidly honest. A war comrade said of him after his passing, July 9th, 1903: ''Reidville has lost a landmark; the State and county a good and useful man. You all loved him because he was a kind and affectionate father; we, his old friends and com­ rades, loved him for his many kind deeds, and for his real worth. Old Company B has lost her brightest light. Re­ member me as his old-time friend and comrade who loved him living and mourn him dead." James Denny Leonard was married, December 19th, 1867, to Louise Ann (born April 28th, 1849), the daughter of Mark and Lucetta Brockman Bennett, a charming woman of fine feeling and unusual judgment and administrative func­ tions. They have had eight children: Ila Florence (Willson), born September 18th, 1868. Elizabeth Lucetta (Todd), born January 7th, 1871. Tallulah (Cudd), born January 7th, 1873. Leonora (Briggs), born May 9th, 1875. Oliver Wardlaw, born May 4th, 1877. James Bennett, born June 13th, 1879; died December 21st, 1881. Major Brockman, born April 23rd, 1881; died December 21st, 1881. Roydon Ernest, born July 31st, 1884. 110 E A R L Y AM E RI C A N H I S T U R Y

ILA FLORENCE, the oldest of the eight children of James Denny and Louise Bennett Leonard, was from early childhood the helpful, intelligent associate of her parents, filling in many ways the place of son to her father. This intimate and rather unusual relation helped to develop her in breadth of view and efficiency. In energy, strength and self­ reliance she is not unlike her remarkable grandmother, Elizabeth Anderson Leonard. Many of her classmates in the old Reidville Female College recall that whenever a difficult problem in physics required immediate solution, she was in­ variably named by that prince among sensible teachers, the Rev. R. P. Smith, to solve it. With similar alertness and accuracy she has met the large number of problems that have crowded upon her as home-maker, business associate of her husband and public-spirited citizen. November 27th, 1884, s.he was married to William Jesse (born July 22nd, 1860), the son of William and Evelina Mc­ Junkin Willson, of Union County, who, as a student in the Reidville Male High School, boarded in the home of James Denny Leonard, with whom he afterwards became associated in business. William Jesse Willson is a modest person of sterling character, sound judgment, a keen sense of justice and a chivalrous devotion to duty. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church, and is one of those rare beings that can stand the exacting test of close acquaintance. William Jesse and Ila Leonard Willson have reared two sons: James Wirron, born February 7th, 1887. Jesse O'Neal, born March 5th, 1889.

JAMES WIRRON WILLSON, prepared for college by his mother and his uncle, George Briggs, then principal of the Reidville Male High School, entered the South Carolina Col­ lege in his fifteenth year. Here he remained for some terms. Later, winning a scholarship to the College of Charleston, he entered that institution, where, besides taking great interest in athletics, he was graduated A. B. and A. M., cum laude, in 1908, having specialized in Latin and biology. Directly afterwards he was given a clerkship in the Dollar Savings Bank, Spartanburg, South Carolina. He is now the cashier EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 111

of this popular institution. April 6th, 1910, he was married to Rosabel Edith (born June 3rd, 1891), the daughter of Charles Calhoun and Rosa Smith-Fleming Pedrick, of Gaines­ ville, Florida, educated at Converse College, a congenial com­ panion. James Wirron and Rosabel Pedrick Willson have had a son of the eighth generation, James Wirron, Jr., born January 8th, 1911; died August 28th, 1913.

JESSE O'NEAL WILLSON was prepared for college in Reidville. He was a student at Wofford College in 1904-1905, and of Charleston College 1906-1908. The fall of 1908 he entered the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, where he was graduated June 3rd, 1912. He has located in his home town, and is making a brilliant success in his pro­ fession, to which he is devoting every power of his strong, earnest, gentle nature. As a descendant of William Ander­ son in both the sixth and the seventh generations he has probably inherited a double portion of the fondness for, and the skill in, the practice of medicine which seem to have marked a goodly number of those of this ancestry.

ELIZABETH LUCETTA, the second daughter of James Denny and Elizabeth Bennett Leonard, a practical and re­ sourceful woman, educated at Reidville and Williamston, married, when but a child, John Arthur (born August 12th, 1863), the son of John and Clara McKinney Todd.

OBI'fUARY Mrs. Mary Hannah Brockman Sept. 20th, 1924 Taken from Denver (Colo.), Press Mrs. Mary Hannah Brockman was born in Green County, Virginia, on June 13th, 1859, the fourth child of William B. and Rachel Ann Estes. At the age of nineteen years she married William J. Brockman, and they made their home on a farm in Louisa County, Virginia, where eight children were born to them. About twenty years ago Mrs. Brockman was taken ill with stomach trouble and bronchial asthma and Mr. Brock­ man sold the farm and moved to the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. But Mrs. Brockman's health became steadily worse and the family located in Washington, D. C., where she improved in hea,lth and made her home for about fifteen years. In 1919 Mrs. Brockman had influenza and the asthmatic condition was so greatly aggravated that it was necessary to go to a warm, dry climate. She spent four months in Phoenix, Arizona, with her youngest daughter and the fam­ ily then moved to Denver, Colorado, in May, 1921. Mrs. Brockman was fairly well for about two years, when she had a nervous breakdown, a recurrence of bronchial 146 E A R L Y A M E RI C AN H I S T O RY asthma and heart trouble. It was during this time that her fourth son, Eugene Cecil of Denver, Colorado, passed away after a severe illness of three months, preceded by six years of tubercular trouble. She was greatly grieved over Cecil's death and it is thought that her grief was partly responsible for the nervous breakdown. Mrs .. Brockman was in bed at her home from January 2nd, of this year until May 26th, when her condition became so serious that she was taken to the Battle Creek Sanitarium at Boulder, where she passed away about four o'clock Saturday morning, September the 20th. Mrs. Brockman is survived by her husband, William J. Brockman, and a daughter, Mrs. E. R. Hall of Denver; four sons Clarence Aubrey Brockman of Charleston, W. Va., Roy E. Brockman of Asco, W. Va., William Everett Brock­ man of St. Paul, Minnesota and John B. Brockman of Phila­ delphia, Pa., and two daughters in Auburndale, Massachu­ setts-Mrs. Daisy B. Elwood and Mrs. Walter F. Burt. Mrs. Brockman joined the Baptist Church in early life and later became a member of the Christian Church. She was a devoted mother, sacrificing even her health for her children, and a true Christian woman, instilling the teach­ ings of Christ and the love of God in the hearts of her chil­ dren from early childhood. She died trusting God and dur­ ing her last days she would often sa,y, "Jesus is coming down from those clouds through that window and take me home." The Lord mercifully took her quietly in her sleep, without a struggle, and today we know she is in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"Her suffering ended with the day; Yet lived she at its close. And breathed the long, long night away, In statue-like repose.

But when the sun in all his state Illumed the eastern skies, She passed through glory's mourning-gate, And walked in Paradise!" EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 147

Her struggle for breath is over; her torture-racked body free from pain ; she is now smiling and saying to us as she said so often during her last days, "Do not grieve for me, dear, or I could not die happy." Her last message to her husband and children was that she loved them all-that she was trusting God, and would be waiting for them on the other side.-l.Vlary Ethel Hall. Following are the records of their children:

COLONEL JOHN MILLS DEAN (66) was born in. Spar.;. tanburg, S. C., in 1835. He was a graduate of the S. C. Mili­ ta,ry Academy, and chose Civil Engineering as his profes­ sion. Before the opening of the Civil War, several years of his life were spent as a planter. At the first call for arms, he raised a company and went to Little Rock, Ark., where he was commissioned Lt. Col. of the 7th Regiment Infantry. Landrum's History sa,ys: "From six in the morning until late in the afternoon, (the battle of Shiloh) Colonel Dean's command was in the thickest of the fight. Leading an as­ sault across the road, he fell about 5 P. M., shot in the back by a sharp-shooter. He died instantly. One of his comrades wrote, "The men faltered a little as they reached .the road, so the Colonel ran in front, cheering them on, waving his sword, and as he gave the command, 'Fire!', fell with his face to the foe. General Harding, in speaking to the mother of Colonel Dean, said: 'Madam, your son was a brave man. " Colonel Dean died in the 27th year of his age. 148 EARLY AME RIC AN HISTORY

Dean, was born in Spartanburg, S. C., January, 1842. He was attending St. James College in Maryiand, when the first call for volunteers was made. He returned home at once, and joined one of the first com­ panies that was raised, C. K., (Spartanburg Rifles), 15th Regiment, S. C. Volunteers, which was immediately sent into service. He rose from private to captain, and was in the trenches a,round Petersburg at the time of the fearful mine explosion in 1864. Some of the Company were dllg out and made prisoners by the enemy. Captain Dean was im­ prisoned early in the war at Fort Delaware. Here, for eleven months, he was confined to miserable quarters, ex­ posed to the blazing sun in summer, and bitter cold in win­ ter. . When released, after the surrender of General Lee, Captain Dean's health was a complete wreck. He settled on a plantation in Calhoun County, Ala., hoping to rgain his health and strength, but after several years of suffering, laid down his life, sacrificed for his country. He died in 1883 and is buried at Talledaga, Ala." Capta,in Dean wa.s twice married. His first wife was a Miss Smith, and his second was Evie Russell.

Greer, S. C., Oct. 7, 1915. P. 0. Box 178. MR. W. EVERETT BROCKMAN, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Brockman: Some time past we received a letter from you written to my father, Thaddeus Westmoreland. As papa has been dead for six years, I take it upon myself to answer. I am send­ ing what Brockman history that we have, which was copied from father's papers, and sincerely trust it will assist you in this work. Mother said that several years ago papa sent records somewhere con­ cerning the Brockman family, but she does not remember where. We feel sure that we can find something else worth while. If there is any way we can help you, will be glad to do so. Your very truly, (MISS) MAIDA WESTMORELAND.

The records furnished by Miss Maida Westmoreland are as follows:

John Brockman married Amelia Martin (lived in Virginia and were wealthy). When John died, he left property to one child unborn, who was afterwards our forefather, Major Brockman, who married a Miss Patterson, of North Carolina. (This is a mistake. John, father of this Major was a son of John and Mary Brockman, whose son was born after his father's death.-Author.) Their son, James, married first in North Carolina, his wife dying, leaving two children. He came over on the Enoree to visit some kin and married his cousin, Lucy Brockman. She was the daughter of Henry, better known as Harry Brockman, who married Susannah Patterson, and came to South Carolina, where his sister, Mary Brockman, who had married Joel Dean, had already moved. He got lands higher up on the Enoree, and each of them reared their families here. They were very cul­ tured people. Susannah Patterson had a brother named Turner, who was Washington's aide-de-camp. James Brockm,m was considered one of the best christians of his day, and Grandmother Lucy was gen­ tle and refined. James Brockman was a very just man. He made his two sons, William and Frank, and his three sons-in-law, Simeon West­ moreland, John Holland and Mark Bennett, executors of his Will, so that all would be bound to share alike. There seems to have been E A R L Y AM E R I C AN H I S TO RY 153 a contest by the first wife's children, who had moved to Georgia, but it availed nothing as all of the property in this state came by Grand­ mother Lucy from her father, Harry. Children of James Brockman and Lucy Brockman were: Nancy Brockman, m. John Holland; William Brockman, married Elizab-eth Bennett, a sister of Mark Bennett. Elizabeth Brockman was born Sept. 2·9, 1814, and married Simeon Ransom Westmoreland, who was born Jan. 4, 1817. They were married Jan. 22, 1835. Grand­ father died Oct. 14, 1876, and grandmother Nov. 7, 1880. Frank Brockman married Mary Greer. Aunt Mary is still living. Lucitta Brockman married Mark Bennett.

Family lives at Fountain Inn, S. C. Benjamin Perry Westmoreland was born Sept. 15, 1854, died April 6, 1904. Thaddeus T. Westmoreland, third son of Simeon Ransom ·westmore­ land and Elizabeth Brockman Westmoreland, was born Nov. 2, 1840, and reared in the eastern part of Greenville, near Enore-e River, at the Westmoreland Mills. He attended the country schools there at an early age, and later at Reidville, in Spartanburg County. He left school.and volunteered in the Confederate States Army, in Capt. A. H. Dean's Company, with four companions, which formed Easley's Batal­ lion. He served on the coast of South Carolina until the first battle of Manassas. He was then transferred to Virginia, with the battalion and Hampton Legion. Organized the 2nd regiment of South Carolina cavalry with M':. C. Butler as Colonel. Served in Virginia until the spring of 1864, at which time was transferred back to South Carolina, and served on coast of North Carolina and South Carolina until the surrender.

Two brothers, James and John Westmoreland, were in another company together. Thaddeus Westmoreland was in ill health after the war.

BROCKMANS OF WEST VIRGINIA, COLORADO, MIN­ NESOTA, NEW YORK AND WAY STATIONS In the hurly burly days of time and events, quite fre­ quently the daily newspapers, the Blue Book and Historical E A R L Y A M E RI C AN HI S T O R Y 157 societies overlook some of the truly great men, who go about day by da,y giving of themselves simply for the joy of having performed a service to God and to Mankind. It has been said that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I am going to talk to you about this second class­ namely those who achieve greatness adding the phrase "without the blare of trumpets or a press agent." For local atmosphere permit me to take you back into the cradle of America where our early heroes were born-that part of Virginia known as the Piedmont Section, and in the Shenandoah Valley where the present generations are prone to boast of their blue blood-the combined red corpuscles of English, Scotch with an admixture of Irish good humor and thrift producing modern 1 aristocracy-in this cradle where early settlers who built in this new territory, the structure which now upholds modern civilization in America. Just across the Blue Ridge Mountains and into the Alle­ ghenies one ventures into an entirely different atmosphere. According to modern fiction writers, most of the natives are moonshiners, but in fact they are a race of hardy and thrifty people, who until the coming of the coal digger, were sep-­ arated from modern civilization by high natural boundaries, inadequate schools, no churches and but meager organiza­ tions for the maintenance of law and order. It was in these surroundings that the Allen Clan grew in a perfectly natural manner and became one of the powerful influences throughout Western Virginia and the Eastern portions of West Virginia. Similar surroundings also stimulated the growth of the Hatfield and other Clans. With the coming of coal opera­ tors, men and women from every nation on the globe were thrown together, worked long hours in the bowels of the earth and lived in small, dirty and poorly equipped homes, entirely void of luxury and scarcely boasting of the neces­ sities of life. Without the influences of religion or schools, it was natural that vice and lawlessness should thrive to whatever extent the mining companies would permit. 158 E AR L Y AM E RI C A N H I S T O RY

It was in these surroundings that C. A. Brockman and his brother Roy entered when in their early teens, both starting at the bottom around the coal mines, and it is pos­ sible that this modest beginning has been responsible for their successful work among the miners. When I first went into coal fields Aubrey and Roy were living in the vicinity of Nuttall, West Virginia. At this point a church had been constructed, but being outside of the regular circuits, a minister was available but very seldom. It was here that Aubrey wa·s instrumental in or­ ganizing a Sunday School, later becoming Superintendent, and it was here that he and Roy held Sunday night services and Thursday prayer meetings. The good which they accomplished here possibly gave them the inspiration which for many years now has carric0 .J them forward in the ministerial work among the miners. For nearly twenty yeare these two men have worked in the fields and have seen conditions undergo remarkable changes. In moving from place to place and gradually forging ahead, both have become successful business men, leaders in ministerial work, and widely known and appre­ ciated throughout the West Virginia coal fields. It is very probable that these men have done more pioneer missionary work than some of the early leaders such as Calvin, Wesley, Luther and others. While the latter are noted for what is termed reforms, much of their popu­ larity is doubtless due to the radical change made by their code of reforms, the popularity of religious reforms in Europe and England during these times, and the fact that their ideas gave birth to new denominations. Then too dis­ satisfaction on account of the confusion between the church and the State made reforms most desirable and helped them grow to grea,t proportions. Pardon me for a moment if I digress. I am not so sure that so many denominations are desirious. Could we not have reforms without separation into units, which have never come to an agreement upon very simple elementary matters such as dancing or card playing; such as close or E A R L Y A M E R I C A N H I S T O R Y 159

open communion, and other details which give us the North­ ern and Southern Methodists, the Baptists, the two Episco­ pal churches and many others. The other day a Tolerance Club was organized in Minneapolis headed by a Rabbi, sev­ eral protestants, a Roman Catholic Priest and leaders in our City Life. This is I think the most practical step ever taken toward the settlement of religious intolerance. But I am not presumed to be writing a treatise upon re­ ligion, the point I started out to prove is that Aubrey and Roy in their modest ways, giving daily of their time and money, in my opinion, have done more for the benefit of mankind, for the glory of God, for the bodily comfort of suffering humanity than most of the religious leaders that history has made famous. Asco, West Virginia, is situated high up in the moun­ tains of West Virginia. It is reached by a side track used for hauling coal to the main line of the Norfolk and Western at Davy. It is a new camp, yet well built and with a school policy that is an example for Cities to follow. Everybody there works for the Mining Company, no civil officer or association or other organized effort is actually responsible for the civic welfare of the community, or for many other things that make a town desirable. R. E. Brockman supervised the building of this town. He planned· the school, he teaches the Sunda:v School, he preaches every Sunday and Thursday nights. He ministers to the sick. He and his wife together make themselves en­ tirely responsible for the welfare of the Community. When there is sickness two men are sent for, the Company Doctor and R. E. Brockman. When the influenza epidemic hit the town, Roy sat up all night and with prayer, and careful nursing brought back life into the body of many men and women who had given up any hope for recovery. It is my personal belief that he and his missionary wife are among the greatest healers that have been known of since the day of Paul and his associate Apostles. Last year I visited this Camp and again this year T visited this family now with two wonderful children, and 160 E A R L Y A M E R I C A N H I S T O R Y

came back full of enthusiasm, bursting with emotion, and fired with love and devotion to those who give of themselves in so unselfish a manner. The older brother Aubrey, now living in a totally dif.. ferent atmosphere is working equally as hard but among a different type of people. At Charleston, West Virginia, C. A. Brockman, the head of a large Sunday School, works six days a week doing good-missionary work, community chest, public welfare and other necessary things that must fall to the lot of someone in every City. This sketch is written by a younger brother devoted to the older ones who have been to him an ever increasing in­ spiration to forge ahead, to do things. Please accept this, not in a boasting way, but I think that future generations should know what manner of men lived in our generation and to what extent they ga.ve of themselves simply for the joy of giving-WEB.

In 1906 he removed to West Virginia where he re­ mained one year, and then moved to Washington, D. C. After a few years there, he returned to the mountains, where he learned sqmething of the rough side of life. After remaining in the New River fields for several years and hav­ ing received some of the necessary fraining of life from his older brothers, he returned to Washington, D. C., and took up life anew. Mr. Brockman was a student at George Washington Uni­ versity for four years up to the outbreak of the World War. He enlisted as a private in Washington, D.

EARLY AMERICAN HIS TORY 171 the son of George Hunter Terrett, a Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, which position he held at the outbreak of the Civil War. He resigned from the U. S. Army to accept a Colonelcy in the Confederate State Army. Colonel Terrett was the son of Captain George Hunter Ter­ rett, who was born in 1778, died 1843 (son of William Henry, son of William Henry) married in 1801 Hannah Butler born 1785, died 1860 ( daughter of Burditt Ashton, son of Charles, son of Charles, son of John, son of Charles); and by her had 1, William Henry; 2, Mary Ashton; 3, George Hunter; 4, Amelia Hunter; 5, Burditt Ashton; 6, Nathaniel Hunter; 7, John Chapman Hunter; 8, Washing­ ton; 9, James Wallace; 10, Frederic Augustus Chapman; 11, Alexander Hunter; 12, Gibson Andrews. The residence of Capt. George Hunter Terrett was Oak­ land, his ancestral homestead, lying four miles west of Alexandria,·va., and half a mile southwesterly from where the Episcopal Theological Seminary now stands, in Fairfax county, Virginia. Here he was born; here his children were born; here he and his wife died and lie buried, Here too part of his children lie; all are asleep; but some lie far apart. In the war of 1812 he commanded a company of Fairfax militia at the battle of Bladensburg, where our undisciplined troops were routed by British regulars. He was a man of force and strength of character, of rectitude and honor, a hospitable host, a good liver, a genial companion, an old Virginia gentleman. Andrew Jackson, Cabinet officers, and men of affairs of the period were guests at his home, and here too were entertained many young soldiers famous afterward in the armies of the North and the South. The grandchildren now are found in Fairfax county, Vir­ ginia; Washington, D. C.; Maryland, Mississippi, North Da­ kota and Minnesota. Oakland is still in possession of one of the family. The hospitable old mansion, in time of the war, was rifled and burned to the ground. Every building and every fence was burned. Every forest tree, every fruit tree, and even the oaks of the lawn and family graveyard were cut for fuel for the army encamped near by. 172 EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY

Letters from Mrs. Simpson MR. W. E. BROCKMAN, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Brockman: Enclosed find John Brockman's Will, which I will ask that you r-eturn to me when you have finished with it. I have some other data which I will be glad to send you upon· your request. They are ehiefly records found by Mr. Fletcher Brockman and I, when we worked so hard on this line ten years ago. The first Brockman that we know of was Henry Brockman who came to Maryland about 1674. I have a copy of land grant proving that. We then skip to John Brockman, who must have been born about 1720 (he died 1755 )~ We need that link filled. My ancestor was John Brockman, who married Amelia Martin. He must have been born about 1720 or 1725, and was, we feel sure, the son of John Brock­ man whose Will I enclose. John Brockman's and Amelia Martin's daughter, Mary, who was born Jan. 7, 1759, married Joel Dean Sept. 5, 1775. Their son, John Dean, born Sept. 26, 1776, married Mary ( or pretty Polly) Farrow. Their son, Hosea Jefferson Dean, was my grandfather. I have full records of the family, much more complete than Mr. Owen:s book. Mary Brockman Dean always claimed to be the daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, but was never able to find any record of John Brockman's services. He prob-ably served in North Carolina. However, Gen. Green lost his rolls twice in retreat, so th•ey are very incomplete. The name Brockman is so unusual that I feel sure that all -che Brockmans in this country are descended from Henry Brockman, who landed in Maryland. The "Chalkley Manuscripts," which have recent­ ly been published and which give so many Virginia names, contain no Brockman. Before the book is published I would like to fill out my grandfather's line more completely than the "Brockman and Kindr•ed Families" have it. I will get the matter in shape and send it to you. If I can help you in any way, I will he glad to do so. Do you find any Martin records? Amelia's family is unknown to us. Very truly yours, (Signed.) MABEL F. SIMPSON. MRS. J. W. SIMPSON. Sept. 23, 1915. Spartanburg, S. C. Dear Mr. Brockman: I have sent your letter to a descendant of the Brockmans, to ask her help in replying. In the meantime, let me know if you think this inference is correct. Our John Brockman came to South Carolina before 1790. His children (the five of whom we have record) were all born in Virginia. The eldest of those five, Mary Brockman Dean, was married, and had been married for yearn when they came. In Mr. Clark's book, you will find that he infers that John Brockman was born 1735~40, because Mary, supposed to be the first child, was born in 1759. Now it is very probable that Mary was not the oldest child, and that the oldest was born many years before that time. * * * EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 175

My mother always told us that John Brockman fought in the Revo­ lution, and that Joel Dean, his son-in-law, followed him. Most of the Virginia Deans were Royalists, and Joel is the only one of his name - who se.ems to have fought. * * * I have incurred no expense in sending you this data, and have been glad to furnish it. I am sending you a copy of Joel Dean's obituary notice which I hope you can put in the book. It will establish proof of his Revolutionary services. Hoping great success for you, I am, Very truly yours, MABEL F. SIMPSON. Spartanburg, S. C., Jan. 27, 1916.

Obituary DIED in Spartanburg District, S. C., recently, Joel Dean, Sr., in his 87th year. He did some service in the- Revolutionary War, and was often heard to remark that he had received more from the blessings of freedom than all he had done, or could do, was worth, and there­ fore did not desire a pension. Through industry and economy he raised a large and respectable family, who are all following the good example set by him and are doing well. He was reported to be among the best marksmen and the most skillful hunter, and retained his eyesight to the last. He lived to see his family extend to several generations, and saw what few will or have seen, his granddaughter's grandchild.-From the "Courier," Charleston, S. C., March 15, 1842. The children of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Simpson are as follows: Mabel, b. 1896; William; and Dunlap.

SUPPLEMENT TO VOLUME 1, HUME FAMILY By W. E. Brockman, Compiler.

When I undertook to publish a revised history of the Hume and Allied families, I determined to put forth every possible effort to make it accurate. The work of collecting revised data took about two years and another was required for setting type and sending out proofs. These proofs were read by Dr. John R. Hume, Doniphan, Missouri; Mrs. Chas. H. Wine, Culpeper, Virginia; Mrs. Thos. W. Cooke, Wash­ ington, D. C.; and Dr. Edgar Erskine Hume, of Washington, D. C. With this splendid co-operation I felt satisfied that the revised book would represent an accurate history and naturally I am disappointed when my attention is invited to errors, most of which however are of minor importance. There is one however that deserves mention here, sine':' it deals with a branch of the Hume family which has long puzzled me. I refer to the line of William Hume, as given by Mrs. Ida (March) Douglas. Dr. John R. Hume says in a letter of September 4, 1926, tha,t the line of Mrs. Douglas belongs to the Scotch Irish branch and I am very happy to quote sections of his letter here. 190 E A R L Y AM E R I C A N H I S T O R Y

Mr. Wm. E. Brockman, Doniphan, Missouri, Sept. 4, 1926. Minneapolis, Minn. My Dear Sir: I have in my possession some 17 lines whose emigra­ tion began in some cases as early as 1678 and settled in Massachusetts. The branch to which Mrs. March Doug­ lass is attached is one of Bishop Leslie's somewhat famous Scotch-Irish refugees from Fermanaugh, where the old ruined castle stands of which I can furnish a photograph, in County Antrim North Ireland. It is in the beautiful lake region of the North of Ireland, I have stood on its ruined towers and gazed over the waters and seen as many as seven or eight small islainds in view on a clear day. Hanna gives in his book at page 227-8, Vol. 1 a list of these Lowland Clans so called who refugeed from Ireland under William and Mary and settled, most of them in the Counties of Lancaster and Northumberland on the South East corner of Pennsylvania,, and a few in the adjoining corner of Maryland where they were welcomed for a little while by the Quaker Owners. When they began to observe their own forms of worship according to the Scotch Pres­ byteri,an Custom (they had brought their preachers from Ireland), the Quakers who believed in and practiced free religious liberty for Quakers only, began to make it unpleas­ ant for them aind they began to seek homes in other places. Thus after they had been in Pennsylvania for some 50 years, some of them went to the Valley of the Virginia as they called the Shenandoah in the vicinity of the present city of Roanoke, and settled there but the coming on of the French a,nd Indian War and the somewhat noted "Battle of the Cow Pastures'' wherein the Indians killed several of the set­ tlers, prompted them to move on further south to the now famous piedmont region in Rowan and Mecklenburg, N. C. There they were practically sole owners, and established a colony that is to this day practica,lly all Scotch-Irish Pres­ byterian. The Famous Battle of the Alamance in Orange County, North Carolina in 1771 was a Scotch-Irish battle and was· actually the first bloodshed in the Revolution five years before the outbreak a,t Lexington, Mass. The justly EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY 191

celebrated Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence May 20, 1775, the first Declaration in America, was also Scotch­ Irish. Many of these expatriated Scotch-Irishmen now again expatriated; and emigrated further west in Pennsyl­ vania and settled in and around Harrisburg where they lived and prospered and from there they went with the tide of empire further westward and settled some in Ohio some in Indiana and some in Illinois and Missouri. One Hume was in St. Louis County in 1802 and wrote a letter now in my hands back to his eastern friends inviting them to come to the Missouri and eat Oysters with him. It is to one of these families that Mrs. March Douglass belongs. Her ancestor was one Robert Hume who came to Pennsylvania when Wed­ derburn George was only 4 years old, and ten years before the Jacobite Rebellion for which he was exiled. Robert was from Scotland via Ireland, that is he was Scotch-Irish so called. Hanna as cited above has a list of these thirty-nine lowland clans of Scotch who went to Ireland under James the first and then to America under William and Mary. They are as follows : Armstrongs, Barclays, Brodies, Bruces, Comyns, Cun­ ninghams, Colquhans, Cranstons, Crawfords, Douglass, Drummonds, Dunbars, Dundas (both these clans originated with the Humes from the Cospatricks), Erskines, Forbes, Gordons, Grahames, Hays, Hamiltons, HUMES, Johnstones, Kerrs, Landers, Leslies, Lindsays, Lockharts, Maxwells, Montgomeries, Murrays, Oglevies, Oliphants, Ramsays, Ruthvens, Scotts, Setons, Sinclairs or St. Claires, Urquharts, W allaces, W emysses. The 20th of these famous folk was ROBERT HUME, Ancestor of William who married Anne (Blank) in Pennsyl­ vania (not in Virginia, he never lived in Virginia) and was the Ancestor of her line. Famous folk, they were, and well worthy of a better fate than to be tacked on to the tail of an already occupied car filled to overflowing. I very much regret that this has been done. My mother's tribe is Scotch­ Irish and French crossed and were part of the famous peo­ ple whom Bishop Leslie has mentioned in Hannah's book cited above. My mother's family, the Davidsons are not 192 E A R L Y A M E R I C A N H I S T O R Y noted above although they were Penn~ylvania Scotch-Irish but they were HIGHLANDERS from Perthshire, MacDhai is the name in Perth which is Gaelic for son of David i. e. Davidson. My mother's Great Grandfather was le Chev Richard de JOURNET a Basque of Poictu, France. He was in the Revolution with General Count Rochaumbeau and married Gen. William Lee Davidson's daughter and went home to France leaving her with one child Daniel, de Jour­ net. He was a Vendeean and was guillotined in 1794 in le place du Concorde, Paris. But you are not worried about my trouble. My ancestors are asleep in the arms of history, let them lie. I know some of this family personally or used to, and they and I worked over the Robert (Irish Bob) we then called him, as long as thirty-five years ago. John Hume of this family removed from London, Ohio, to Tennessee, and he and I lived in McKenzie, Tenn., at the same time and of course were warm friends. We worked over this same ground then and he knew the history quite well. I note at page 7 in the list of the sons of the Scotch Exile, Wedderburn George, that you have set opposite to his name married Anne-I take it that Mrs. March-Douglass did not do that and I distinctly recall that I corrected that item in the proof you submitted to me for correction. The reference on the same page a,s the first suggestion to-wit 153, that William Hume married Sarah Baker who is re­ ferred to as Miss Baker. Now "Miss Baker'' was Mrs. Baker a widow almost past the child bearing period when she mar­ ried William. Her maiden name was Sarah Benson. She was a daughter of one Prue Benson of Fauquier Co., Va., who wrote her a great number of letters after she went to Kentucky and sent her several negroes as presents and I have in my hands now the deeds to these negroes. She had however in 1791 Joel Benson Hume and per11aps another child which died earlier. I know of these people well.

Doniphan, Missouri, November 14th, 1926. Mr. Wm. E. Brockman, Minneapolis, Minn. My Dear Sir: I am herewith enclosing to you a brief statement of the family of Robert Hume of Minden, Massachusetts, the first Hume who came to America and the one who furnished the most soldiers for the Revo­ lution. I have the entire genealogy, which was furnished to me by a genealogist in Boston by the name of Anson G. Titus, some thirty years ago or longer. This Robert Hume, the father of Nicholas Hume, was also the father of Mrs. March Douglas'William. Her an­ cestor was older than our William and removed fr:om New England to Pennsylvania. He came to America at least 18 years before Wed­ derburn George came and was here when our ancestor was only 4 years old. If Mrs. (March) Douglas wants to get her line set right, I will be glad to furnish her with a copy of these memoirs which are very complete, however she has the children of that William Hume set out in your book about like I have them from Prof. Titus, but she has the wrong William. Respectfully, Jno. R. Hume.

This family was one among the 39 Scotch-Irish families that Hanna mentions as having come to America befor,e 1714, and left Scotland about 1600 or a little later and settled in Ireland. They belonged to Wedderburn. J. R. Hume. E A R L Y A M E RI C A N H I S TO R Y 197
