I suppose she will endeavor for Fredericksburg or Alexandria, as she made an attempt to get off about 18 months ago, was taken up on the road to Alexandria, and said she intended for Philadelphia. She is very handy, spins well, and has been used to both house and plantation work. SINAH, about 20 years of age, rather of a darker completion than Cate, has a sunken bumpy face, a very unbidding look, has a decay and holes in two of her upper foreteeth, a sulky ill natured countenance, well shaped, of the middle size, low forehead, and very bushy long hair; She took with her a pair of silk cuffs, some pieces of gauze, a white linen petticoat, a fine white shift, white linen enough for a shift and waistcoat, a black Virginia cloth petticoat, striped with white, a straw hat, covered and ltned with black silk and trimmed with black gauze; had on a black striped Virginia cloth ditto, which she wore under the other.

DICK (who sometimes catts himself Richard MervHe) a stout lofty Mulatto Fellow, of about 22 years of age, has large features and eyes, roguish down look, is artful and plausible and well acquainted in most parts of Virginia and Maryland, having formerly waited upon me. CLEM, a well set black Negro Lad, of about 19 years of age, has a remarkable large scar of a burn, which covers the whole of one of his knees. It is impossible to describe their dress, as I am told they have stolen a variety of clothes since their elopement. They were carried to the Eastern Shore by a bay craft, where Dick was employed stowing of vessels, and Clem sawing of shinge butts. I suspect they are still on the Eastern Shore, or on board some bay craft. The above reward wilt be given to any person who will deliver them to me, in Fairfax County, on Potomack River, or secure them in any goal, and give me notice of it so that I get them again, or Five pounds for either of them.

Blackburn - Administrator November 24, 1784 Virginia Journal & Alexandria Advertiser 9 Dec 1784 LANDED AT DUMFRIES - About 40 tons of PLASTER OF PARIS. As few people in the State are acquainted with its nature and qualities it may be necessary to inform such, that nothing is equal to it for plastering or covering houses, as also for stucco work, but of late more particularly valuable for manure, two bushels being found sufficient for an acre of land, and it serves to enrich the meanest soil; The effects of it in some parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland last year, are sufficient proofs of its value. - Apply to Mr. William Wilson, in Alexandria, or to the subscriber, in Dumfries. Alexander Campbell December 2, 1784 3 Virginia Journal & Alexandria Advertiser 9 Dec 1784 DUMFRIES ACADEMY - By order of the trustees for the Dumfries Academy this public notice is given, that the academy is opened by matters from the University of Great Britain, amply recommended, who propose to teach the Latin, Greek, and French Languages, Arithmetic, land surveying, bookkeeping, every other branch of Mathematics, and Natural Philosophy.

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering.

  • Treaties of St Marys
    Anatomy of The 1818 Treaties of St. Marys; Their Impact on the Miami, Delaware, New York Tribes and Indiana By A. Andrew Olson III, December 20, 2011; © A A Olson, 2011 With the end of the American Revolution and subsequent signing of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787, a flood of pioneer families streamed across the Appalachian Mountains to the newly organizing lands just beyond to the West. Fledgling territorial government officials, driven in part by a tidal wave of white migration, sought increasing amounts of land from Native Tribes – some of which had already been imposed upon with regularity by the new American Nation. As populations in the eastern portions of the Northwest Territory reached threshold levels, the new states of Ohio and Indiana had been admitted into the Union by the end of 1816. None-the-less, vast portions of these new states remained in the hands of Native Tribes. To rectify this situation, a series of pivotally important treaties were authorized in 1817 and 1818. In the fall of 1818 alone six separate treaties were completed at St. Marys, Ohio between the US Government and the Wyandot, Seneca, Shawnese and Ottawas (September 17th), with the Wyandot (September 20th), the Potawatomi (October 2nd), the Wea (October 2nd), the Delaware (October 3rd) and the Miami (October 6th).1 These treaties brought vast amounts of land under control of the US and by reference Ohio and Indiana, ushering in the dramatic settlement and expansion of Indiana in particular. The negotiations resulted in wholesale removal of the Delaware from Indiana, substantially prevented the planned migration and settlement of the Brothertown and Stockbridge in Indiana, and set the future direction for the displacement of the Miami from their Indiana homeland.
