She has had a wonderful time discovering her family roots and invites others to do the same. vii Compiled by Virginia Hegseth We often wonder where the Magoffin family originated. We know they were in County Down, Ireland in the late 1700's, but before that? The Magoffin family is considered a member of the MacPhie Society of America, as is the McAfee family and many others as well. Therefore it is likely that the Magoffin and McAfee families had been acquainted in Ireland, although James McAfee, grandfather of Jane McAfee who married Beriah 1 Magoffin, immigrated to this country in 1739. The MacFie clan is one of the seven original clans that descend from Kenneth (Cinaed) MacAlpin, first king of both the Scots and Picts and are a part of Siol Alpin. Before that time Scotland had been divided, with Dal Raida, home of the Scots, to the west, and Pictland, home of the Picts, to the east. The Vikings were constantly invading both areas. At this time the Picts dominated Dal Raida and Alpin, Kenneth's father, who was a Scot but married to a Pictish princess, rebelled. The war against the Picts was fierce and eventually Alpin was killed. The Pict King Oengus died soon after. In 843 AD Alpin's son, Kenneth became King of Dal Raida Scots through his father, and, since the Picts had a tradition of matrilineal succession, the Pictland Picts through his mother. The descendants of Alpin ruled Scotland until Malcolm II. Incidentally, these Kings were also ancestors of my Great Grandmother, Lucy Thompson, who married Beriah Magoffin III. 1 ¥ MacFie Crest MacFie Tartan Alpin had younger sons, and grandsons to whom he gave grants of land, but kept these land grants widely separate so the families could not conspire to overthrow the current King. Clan MacFie, also known as MacDhubhsith, MacDuffie, MacPhie, was given the island of Colonsay in the Western Hebrides. The MacFie's lived on that island until 1623, when the Clan chief, Malcolm MacFie joined James MacDonald in a clan rebellion. This ended badly for the poor MacFie's, for they were on the losing side. Malcolm was murdered by Coll MacDonald, who took the island for himself, and the MacFie's were scattered and became a "broken clan". Wording on the Macfie Standing Stone, Colonsay CARRAGH MHIC A PHI 2 IN 1623 MALCOLM, LAST CHIEF OF OUR CLAN WAS MURDERED AT THIS STONE BY A RENEGADE MACDONALD. DAMAGED OVER THE CENTURIES IT WAS REPAIRED BY ULF MACFIE HAGMAN, SWEDEN, CHARLES MACPHEE, AUSTRALIA AND DUNCAN MACPHEE, SCOTLAND. THE PLOT OF GROUND WAS GIVEN TO THE CLAN MACFIE BY LORD STRATHCONA AND FENCED BY GIFTS FROM CLAN FOLK. ON 10TH MAY 1977 ULF HAGMAN AND DR. EARLE MACPHEE, CANADA, A CLAN HISTORIAN, DEDICATED THE MEMORIAL TO OUR CLAN. COLONSAY MEN HUGH MCDOUGALL, ANGUS CLARK, DUNCAN MCDOUGALL, PETER MACALLISTER, DION ALEXANDER ASSISTED IN THE PROJECT. After the break-up of the McFee Clan, families scattered throughout Scotland and Ireland and the spelling of the name changed as there was no universal spelling at that time. But we think that the Magoffin family descended from the MacGuffey (MacGuffie, MacGuffin) family, a sept of the Douglas family, since the two names are quite similar. And, since the MacGuffey's are also considered part of the original MacFie clan, the family origins would not change. And how did they get to Ireland? The families who lived on both sides of the English-Scottish border had been involved in what were called the Border Wars for generations and when James I of England, and IV of Scotland, took the throne of both countries he decided to end them, and scattered the border families throughout all of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Ralph Manning Magoffin in his book on the Magoffin family thought they may have originally been McLaughlin's but I have found no evidence of that connection. The McLaughlin clan is Catholic. Since both Magoffins and McAfees were extremely conservative Presbyterians I find MacFie more plausible. 3 Beriah Magoffin 1 Beriah Magoffin I was born in County Down, Ireland February 14, 1773. Beriah and his twin brother, James, arrived in this country about 1790. James remained in Mercer Co. PA. and founded the Pennsylvania Magoffin branch. Beriah made his way down the river to Fort Harrod, Ky., where he became a successful merchant. On June 11, 1797, he married Jane McAfee, daughter of Samuel McAfee and Hannah McCormick. Beriah and Jane built a home in Harrodsburg named "Clay Hill". It was a large brick home with four columns in front, built on a hill not far from the fort. They had ten children, many of whom are well- known. He died March 9, 1843. Jane died 9 March, 1858. Both he and his wife are buried in Spring Hill cemetery, under a slab tombstone close to the monument of his son Beriah 11, who was elected 23rd Governor of Kentucky at the beginning of the Civil War.1 Old I on I laiToci 1 Findagrave.com.

Tous deux originaires de Vendée, opposants à l'Empire, Victor Hugo et Clemenceau se rencontrent dès la proclamation de la République. Ils luttent contre l'abandon de l'Alsace et de la Moselle, pour l'amnistie des Communards, pour la laïcité, pour le suffrage universel, contre la censure, pour la liberté de la presse, l’abolition de la peine de mort.

    VICTOR HUGO aux frontières de l’exil GIL & PATURAUD Septembre 1853. Victor Hugo est en exil sur l’île de Jersey. Passionné de spiritisme, le poète assiste régulièrement à des séances de tables tournantes jusqu’au jour où le fantôme de sa fille Léopoldine lui apparaît. Dès lors, il est hanté par des visions nocturnes lui intimant de faire la lumière sur le drame. Accident ou meurtre ? Victor Hugo sort de son exil et se lance dans une enquête qui le mènera jusque dans les mystères du ventre de Paris. Sur l’île de Guernesey, John Charles Tapner mène une vie de petit fonctionnaire tranquille. Derrière cette apparence respectable, la réalité est tout autre : En plus d’entretenir sa femme, il prend part à diverses arnaques pour subvenir aux besoins de sa maîtresse ! Lorsque sa logeuse meurt dans des circonstances suspectes, il devient le suspect principal et se retrouve condamné à mort... Pour le sauver, sa femme rédige un appel au secours à l’intention de Victor Hugo, connu pour ses convictions abolitionnistes et son influence... Ce récit, bien qu’en partie imaginaire, est inspiré de faits réels. Victor Hugo fut un fervent abolitionniste qui s’est battu pour la grâce de Tapner et a «réellement» communiqué avec le spectre de sa fille lors de séances de spiritisme. 11 SEPTEMBRE 1853. ÎLE DE JERSEY... L’exil... QUEL ÉTRANGE PARADOXE. CAR DEPUIS QUE TES YEUX SE SONT EN FUYANT MA PATRIE POUR TROUVER REFUGE FERMÉS ET Que ton sourire s’est SUR CETTE ÎLE, Qu’avais-JE DONC ENCORE À ÉTEINT, ME LAISSANT SEUL À JAMAIS..

Since the photo was taken, all the trees along the creek have been removed. The photographed area is 1/4 mile left-to-right in the foreground, and 1/2 mile from the bottom of the photo to the dark brown field in the middle distance. The curvilinear features running diagonally across the pasture are SFT swales. There are five or six sets of parallel swales, as dif- ferent locations were sought out over the years to cross French Creek. A DAR marker is located where the swales can be seen intersecting the road on the left margin of the photo. This Trail Segment is a National Park Service “Certified Site” and is on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. This is the loca- tion of the Cottonwood Holes (some are visible just to the right of center of the photo) which were a source of water and provided a noon camping stop on the SFT. This was the first water on the SFT westward from Cot- tonwood Crossing, and the water appeared in depressions or holes both in and alongside the creek.

Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

  • L'action Française Face À Victor Hugo Dans L'entre-Deux-Guerres1
    Jordi Brahamcha-Marin (Le Mans Université) L’Action française face à Victor Hugo dans l’entre-deux-guerres1 L’histoire de l’Action française dans l’entre-deux-guerres est travaillée par un paradoxe2. D’un côté, ce mouvement, constitué autour d’un journal (fondé en 1898, devenu quotidien en 1908) et d’une ligue (fondée en 1905), ne parvient jamais vraiment à influencer le cours des événements politiques. Bien sûr, le « coup de force » souhaité par Maurras n’est pas réalisé ; en 1926, la mise à l’index, par le Saint-Siège, du quotidien L’Action française porte un coup d’arrêt à l’essor que le mouvement connaissait depuis la fin de la guerre ; dans les années trente, beaucoup de jeunes militants vont se détourner du royalisme au profit d’autres courants politiques jugés moins vieillots, et notamment des courants fascistes ; même sous le régime de Vichy, accueilli par Maurras comme une « divine surprise », les maurrassiens ne joueront qu’un faible rôle dans les sphères dirigeantes3. Les tirages du quotidien L’Action française demeurent, tout au long de la période, somme toute modestes, et tombe à quarante mille en 1939 – à comparer avec les presque deux millions de Paris-Soir, ou, en ce qui concerne la presse politique, les trois cent vingt mille exemplaires de L’Humanité, ou les cent quinze mille exemplaires du quotidien radical L’Œuvre4. De l’autre côté, Maurras et ses amis exercent un magistère intellectuel absolument incontestable, au point que le mouvement a pu exercer une certaine attraction intellectuelle sur des écrivains majeurs, comme Gide ou Proust dans les années dix.

  • Battle and Event
    Places and Major Events Reference Sheet (Map of Missouri with locations) 1. Wilson’s Creek- General Sterling Price of the Missouri State Guard and General McCulloch of the CSA defeated Federal troops under General Nathanial Lyon. General Lyon was killed during this engagement making him the highest ranking casualty of the war to that point. 2. New Madrid and Island No. 10 – From March 2 to April 8, 1862 Federal troops under General Ulysses S. Grant fought for control of Island No. 10 which had been controlled by Confederate forces for most of the war. This location allowed Confederates to impede Union invasion into the south. Brigadier General John P. McCown led the Confederate forces. The Union’s successful capture of the island was the first capture of a Confederate position on the Mississippi during the war. 3. Westport- Sometimes called the Gettysburg of the West the battle of Westport occurred in October of 1864 during General Sterling Price’s Missouri raid. This battle was the turning point in Price’s raid as superior Union forces under Major General Samuel R. Curtis forced Price’s army to retreat. This was the last major battle to be fought west of the Mississippi. 4. Cape Girardeau- On April 23, 1863 Union troops led by Brigadier General John McNeil faced Confederate Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke’s forces here. It was a relatively small engagement, but is significant because it was the running point in Marmaduke’s second raid into Missouri. 5. Camp Jackson- Brigadier General Nathanial Lyon led Federal troops to capture the state militia which had made camp here on May 10, 1861.
