OLDHAM FAMILY STORIES I* (Before Coming to California in the Gold Rush) OLDHAM FAMILY STORIES I* (Before coming to California in the Gold Rush) George Washington Oldham came to California in the 1849 Gold Rush as a young man. He stayed in California and lived the remainder of his life in the Santa Clara Valley. George met and married Isabel Sanor in 1851 in California. Although they met in Santa Clara Valley, they were both born in Ohio. He was a farmer/rancher who had five sons. His sons were: Charles Thomas Oldham born in 1852, Winfield Scott Oldham born in 1854, Louis Franklin Oldham born in 1856, George Timon Oldham born in 1858, and William Riley Oldham born in 1861. Left>right: George Washington Oldham;George Timon Oldham; CharlesThomas Oldham; Isabel Sanor Oldham; William Riley Oldham Jr. (WRO son); William Riley Oldham; Nellie Lydia Oldham (WRO daughter); Fannie Oldham (Louis Franklin's wife); Sarah Brewer Oldham (George Timon's wife) at home on Liberty Street, Santa Clara, California. NOTE: Sons Winfield Scott Oldham and Louis Franklin Oldham are not in the picture. Here are a few of the stories George Washington Oldham brought with him from "back east," and as remembered by his decendants. * George Washington Oldham's father was Thomas Oldham NOTE: Proven True (1)(2)(3) * Thomas Oldham was born in Pennsylvania NOTE: Proven True (1)(8) * George Washinton Oldham's mother was Sue Wilson NOTE: Proven partially true - Mother's name was Elizabeth Wilson Sue (1) Elizabeth (8) JEO: A Thomas Oldham married Betsy Wilson in Campbell County KY 24 Apr 1817 * Sue (Elizabeth) Wilson was born in Kentucky NOTE: Proven true (1)(8) *Thomas Oldham's father was Moses Oldham NOTE: not yet proven NOTE: A Moses Oldham lived in the same area as a Thomas Oldham did for 50 years in OH and Indiana. (4)(6)(7)(8)(9) *Moses Oldham's wife was Elizabeth Scott NOTE: Not yet proven * Elizabeth Scott's father was Captain John Scott NOTE: Not yet proven * Captain John Scott was famed for service in the French & Indian War NOTE: Not yet proven * Captain John Scott fought under Lord Baltimore (JAH: when "Lord Baltimore" is referred to in common times, it is usually taken to mean: Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, Proprietor of Maryland Colony 1632 - 1675) born 1605 - died 1675. NOTE: Louis F. Oldham's biography supports Scott's interaction with Lord Baltimore. "Louis F. Oldham born in Santa Clara 1856...son of George W. and Isabelle Oldham...and the son of Thomas Oldham, the family tracing their ancestry back to John Scott who fought under Lord Baltimore in Colonial days." NOTE: My mother, Marion Oldham Hoye, from notes taken in talks with her Grandmother Victoria E. Oldham (Winfield Scott's wife) when she was a girl, say "Capt. John Scott was my 4th great grandfather; he came with Lord Baltimore." previous partial sentence proven not true (see Capt. John Scott document, list of passengers on Lord Baltimore's two ships).My mother's count of 4 grandfather's is diagrammed as: her grandfather, Winfield Scott Oldham; 1 great, George W. Oldham; 2 great Thomas Oldham; 3 great, Moses Oldham/Elizabeth Scott; 4 great, Capt. John Scott. (11) NOTE: Relationship not yet proven. * George Washington Oldham talked of "cousin Boone." And that our family was related to Daniel Boone. NOTE: Not yet proven. Relationship could be through Oldham or Wilson. * Fort Thomas in Campbell Co. Kentucky (where Thomas and Elizabeth Oldham were married) was named for Thomas Oldham. NOTE: Proven not true Fort Thomas was named for General George H. Thomas, as Union general much decorated in the Civil War. (JAH: it is hard to understand how this story came to be. The location proved right for the Thomas Oldham's in 1817, but not the main story. Thomas Oldham was living in Indiana at the time of the Civil War.) (12) * One of George Washington Oldham's "grandfathers" was in the Battle of the Thames in lower Canada, October 5, 1813. He was there when Tecumseh was killed and took the moccasins off of Tecumseh's dead body. NOTE: Not yet proven. The US soldiers at Tecumseh's death were Kentucky regulars and vounteers. This info tracks with the location of Oldhams - many were in Kentucky. Also, Cincinatti is only 4 miles across the river from Fort Campbell, Kentucky where both a Thomas Oldham and a Moses Oldham were living at the time. (4)(13) NOTE: 9/29/2008 PROVEN TRUE! George Washington Oldham's maternal grandfather, William Wilson was at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. His service was in Barbour's Regiment of Mounted Kentucky Volunteers, Joseph McCloskey's Company. Private William Wilson signed into service on August 26, 1813 and was mustered in on September 1, 1813 in Newport, Kentucky, (19) His home town of 20 plus years. He mustered out in Limestone, Kentucky (160 miles from his home) on November 10, 1813. He was paid 50 dollars and 92 cents for his service, including the use of this horse at a rate of 40 cents a day (20). Private William Wilson is listed as a participant in the Battle of the Thames in the above Battalion and Company in the book, Roll of Field Staff, Company Officers, Privates and Kentucky Volunteers in the War of 1812 (21). NOTE: Kentuck Soldiers in the War of 1812: The Roll of Captain William Black's company Kentucky Battalion Mounted Volunteers, lists a Moses Oldham as a private, enlisted Sept. 18, 1812 to November 14, 1812. Is this our Moses? Did he join/reenlist a year later for the Battle of the Thames? (14) NOTE: Story not yet proven 9/18/2008 Proven not true. This Moses Oldham is from Madison County Kentucky. And is descended from the VA Oldhams. His service in the War of 1812 ended in September 1813, before the battle of the Thames. NOTE: These moccasins are in my possession. Thomas would have been 19 (born circa 1794) during this time, and Moses, (should the line be proven to Moses) would have been about 37 (born circa 1776). There are holes in the bottom of these moccasins from the Oldham who took them off of Tecumseh's dead body using them as slippers. (or so the story goes) (JAH supposition: It seems that the moccasins being as valued as they must have been, would be handed down through direct descendants?) See note above: Private William Wilson would have worn them as slippers until his death in Rush County, Indiana in 1849. It is possible that he gave the mocassins to G.W. Oldham when G.W. (his grandson) left for the Calfornia Gold Rush before he died. Or, his widow, Polly (Mary) Wilson gave them to G.W. Oldham after his grandfather's death when he left for the Gold Rush NOTE: see photos below. "Tecumeh's" moccasins - 195 years old Detail of Design work - "Tecumseh's moccasins >>>>Accounts of Tecumseh's death - clues as to American Companies participating http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Cove/8286/tdeath.html This document is written by James Davidson, mentions his brother Mike Davidson, Charles A. Wickiffe, Col. Whitley, David King, Clarke and Lt. Massie. This doc states that Tecumseh's moccasins were ornamented with porcumpine quills. I have never been able to determine, by look or feel, what is the ornamentation device in these moccasins. It doesn't look like porqupine quills, though: http://www.baymills.org/newspaper/2006/02-09/history.shtml http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent?file=PRthames2 Harrison had about 120 regulars of the newly raised 27th U.S. Infantry Regiment, 260 Indians, and a corps of Kentucky volunteers -- foot soldiers and mounted men -- under the command of the governor of Kentucky, 66-year-old Maj. Gen. Isaac Shelby. Shelby was nicknamed "Old Kings Mountain" for his role in the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain, where he commanded a regiment of "over-mountain" men from what is now Sullivan County, Tenn. Kentuckians Shelby's forces included five brigades of buckskin-clad infantrymen and the 3rd Regiment of Mounted Riflemen, commanded by a former "War Hawk" congressman from Kentucky, Colonel Richard Mentor Johnson. The Johnsons were well represented in that battle. On hand also were Colonel Johnson's brother, Lt. Col. James Johnson, and James Johnson's two sons, 17-year-old Edward and 15-year-old William. All survived the battle. Another luminary among the Kentuckians was Brig. Gen. Simon Kenton. A renowned frontiersman, scout and, like Harrison, a veteran of Wayne's Legion, Kenton had fought against Tecumseh in 1792 and 1793. On this occasion, however, the old soldier would arrive on the scene too late to fight his old adversary. One of the most colorful Kentuckians at the battle was William Whitley, builder of the first brick house in Kentucky. He had enlisted as a private at age 64 to fight in this war. Whitley was to die in action and, like Tecumseh, had a premonition of death. Years later, his kin would claim that it was Whitley who killed Tecumseh in the battle. One of Shelby's major generals was Joseph Desha, who later served as governor of Kentucky and who, like Harrison and Kenton, had served with Wayne. Like Colonel Johnson, General Desha had served in Congress. Also on hand on the American side was Brig. Gen. Lewis Cass, first colonel of the 27th Infantry, who, when he learned of Hull's surrender of Detroit, angrily broke his sword. The 27th's commander was Ohio-born Colonel George Paul. Also present was Master Commandant Perry, the hero of Lake Erie.

  • 1 the ROARING FORK LAND GRANTS Copyright and All Rights Reserved Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Big Stone Gap, Virginia August 2018
    THE ROARING FORK LAND GRANTS Copyright and all rights reserved Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Big Stone Gap, Virginia August 2018 (version 10-20-18) Foreword Roaring Fork of the Powell River is a special place. Its desolation and isolation are noteworthy. Its place in our early history is forgotten. Its remarkable geography is approximated by only two other places in the United States, Rocky Mountain National Park and Boone, North Carolina. It is one of the two major tributaries of the southernmost of the two North Forks of the Powell River of Virginia, which is the westernmost tributary of the Tennessee. It starts at the very spine of the Appalachians. Black Mountain, Indian Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Roger’s Ridge meet at Bakers Flats, a mountain top plateau. Water falling on Baker’s Flats can run off either into the Big Sandy River, a tributary of the Ohio, or into the Cumberland, which courses into Tennessee before reentering Kentucky, like an errant child. Or it can flow via Roaring Fork into the Tennessee, before it and the Cumberland both empty into the Ohio just before that river flows into the Mississippi. Just over the ridge to the west, the Kentucky River starts its journey to the Ohio. It once was the major route of travel from Powell Valley into Kentucky, and the Old Ohio Country. The old trails made by the buffalo, elk, and deer – followed first by the Indian, and later by the Long Hunters and settlers – came out of Clinch Valley and up Big Stony Creek to High Knob, and then across Little Stone Mountain to Kelly View, and to the mouth of Roaring Fork at Kent Junction.

TALBERT"z" Lexington, Kentucky Part 1 THE LIFE OF WILLIAM WHITLEY It was late in November in the year 1775. Richard Henderson with a party of forty men was making his second trip to his settlement at Boonesborough. 1 They had passed through the Cum- berland Gap and were descending near Yellow Creek when they overtook two small families who were exchanging their homes in the Valley of Virginia for the land which lay just beyond the last range of Cumberland foothills.2 The children of one of the men were old enough to ride alone or to walk beside the horses. The other man, who appeared to be the leader, had undertaken a more difficult task, for his children were two small girls, the elder only three years of age, and the younger still a baby.a He was a rather tall man with light eyes, sandy hair, and a prominent aquiline nose. His features indicated the strength of his character/ The pioneer, William Whitley, was serving notice upon the wilderness that he was coming to stay. Whitley was born on August 14, 1749, in Augusta County, Virginia.5 His father, Solomon Whitley, had married Elizabeth *ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although it is not possible to mention al! of those who have provided information and guidance, there are some to whom specific credit is due.

  • Starnes Tour 2014 Berea Condensed Talking Points
    Starnes Tour 2014 Berea Condensed Talking Points Welcome to Berea, Kentucky County, VA … currently known as Berea, KY. Near here, our family, in 1779, was involved in one of the most brutal massacres on record. In April of that year a family scouting party from Boone's Fort was looking for land when they chanced upon a marauding band of Shawnee Indians near Squire Boone's Rock near Blue Lick. All but one were killed (including Frederick Starnes II). The lone escapee was Joseph Starnes. This year, we are headed on a journey that will take us to a re-creation of Boone's Fort, the massacre site, and the first brick home in Kentucky belonging to the discoverer of the massacred bodies, William Whitley from Logan's fort. Again, we will be looking at a chronological list of important family events with corresponding national and international events posted in red for reference. Approximate US Interstate mile markers are given parenthetically. Important rivers are illustrated on the map on p 6. It is important to define the terms that are important to our discussion this year. These have to do with the concept of land ownership...which was obviously perceived differently by the Shawnee, the English and the western settlers, and caused a good deal of the conflict. Allodial title is a system in which real property is owned absolutely free and clear of any superior landlord or sovereign. True allodial title is rare today, but could be attributed to the early Israelites. Year of Jubilee. Such land is inalienable, in that it may be conveyed, devised, gifted, or mortgaged by the owner, but may not be used for collection of taxes or private debts, or condemned (eminent domain) by the government.
