County Court Houses--Grass Roots of History COUNTY COURT HOUSES--GRASS ROOTS OF HISTORY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NELSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY BY FRANCES FAIRLEIGH Hopkinsville, Kentucky A paper read before The Filson Club, November 7, 1955 To most people a County Court House is a strange building. They visit it once or twice in a lifetime for a marriage license; once a year to pay their taxes; or once in two years for a driver's license. But to lawyers, surveyors, genealogists, and historians, a county court house is a fascinating--if dirty--place. I was surprised to find that a county court house, such as we have in the United States, is an American Institution. There were county courts meeting every four weeks in England from the time of Alfred the Great to Henry the Second. Then they fell into disuse. But they were not Courts of Record. In 1846 an act was passed in England re-establishing county courts, with the view of making justice cheaper and more accessible• But they were not courts of record, per se. 1 In the United States we have county court houses, with Courts of Justice and records of court• These are concomitant with the estab- lishment of a county. County court houses are our fundamental safeguard against tyranny. As an eminent jurist once said, "All of us know that liberty does not survive of its own accord. It must be renewed with each generation • . Americans in every generation must guard their priceless heritage of freedom, created and established by our Colonial forefathers, and largely purchased by their blood and sacrifices.''2 How much easier it is for us to preserve our priceless heritage of freedom when we have a Temple of Justice just a short distance from our hearth, containing records to guide and guard our footsteps• It is on the subject of these Court House Records--the Grass Roots of History--that I wish to speak this evening, with special reference to Nelson County, Kentucky. Throughout French history until the Revolution, court records were closely guarded, inaccessible to any save the highest officials or favorites. of the king. Following the French Revolution--for the first time-- the public was given access to court documents• The dossiers of the lettres des cachets were most illuminating--and pathetic. These hidden chronicles gave rise to the fascinating mystery of the "Man in the Iron Mask," and were open to French scholars only after the fall 141 142 The Filson Club History Quarterly [Vol. 30 of the Bastille. A secret such as le masque de fer would not have been possible in free America with its open records. Voltaire could never have used this evasive character as a symbol of monarchical tyranny if the public had had access to the French Archives, as I found out the first time that I went to Paris to delve into that famous mystery. But Miss Polly Warren, of the University of Kentucky Libraries, and I encountered no such red tape when we decided to microfilm the county records of Nelson County, Kentucky. The County Court Clerk, the late Charles Roby, welcomed us, put every facility at our disposal, and showed a keen interest in every historical find. Mr. John Muir, of Bardstown, graciously assisted us with his inexhaustive knowledge of Bardstown and Nelson County history. Mrs. Robert Dudley Taylor of Winchester, president of The Na- tional Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the Common- wealth of Kentucky, had appointed me the chairman of the Society's Historical Activities Committee, with a limited budget at my disposal. Mrs. Taylor recognized the value of my dream of microfilming the records in county court houses, to make them easily available to the general public, and she encouraged and sustained our committee in all its work. So I had the dream. I had the budget. I knew which court house 1 wished to microfilm. But I didn't know how to go about it. Upon the advice of Miss Mabel C. Weaks, the famous archivist of The Filson Club, whose calendaring of the Draper Papers is an outstanding achievement of historical source material, and upon the advice of Mrs. Dorothy T. Cullen, curator, and Judge Richard H. Hill, secretary of The Filson Club, I wrote to Doctor Lawrence Thompson, director of Libraries at the University of Kentucky. Because the University is a public institution and has an outstanding department of microfilming, Doctor Thompson was delighted to co-operate with the Historic Activities Committee, and loaned us Miss Polly Warren and her mobile camera. We have paid the expenses, and the master film has become the property of the University of Kentucky. Copies of the film will be furnished to libraries in the state at cost. By May, 1955, we had filmed seven-tenths of a mile of records. We had made 72,000 exposures. I have illustrated this amount by stating that if one started at the Memorial Auditorium at Kentucky and Fourth streets in Louisville, and unrolled the film along the Fourth Street sidewalk, it would stretch to St. Paul's Episcopal Church at Fourth and Magnolia. Since October of this year Miss Warren has filmed 500 feet more. A list of available records will be published eventually in The Filson Club History Quarterly. Some of the Nelson County records are: 1956] County Court Houses 143 (1) Marriage Bonds--1785-1845. (2) Indices of deeds, grantor and grantee--1785-1875. (3) Will Books A, B, C, D, and Parts 1 and 3 of E (Part 2 is gone). Also an unnumbered will book which precedes A--June 1784 to February 1790--found by Miss Warren in another old book. (4) Chancery Court Cases, 1785-1815. (5) Order Books of the Nelson County Court to 1859. (6) Order Books of the Court of Quarter Sessions. I selected Nelson County as the first county for microfilming for several reasons. It was the fourth county to be organized in the Virginia County of Kentucky (1784). Therefore it contained invalu- able pioneer history. The three earlier counties, Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln, seemed to have other organizations interested in preserv- ing their records. Nelson seemed to need a champion. Fortunately Nelson County has not suffered a fire or flood, and many of these records have not been touched for 160 years--or more. Opening these packages of canned history is a thrill that only a certain peculiar type of person can experience. The enthusiasm shown by my co-workers, Mrs. Robinson S. Brown, St., Mrs. Charles Ewell Craik, Jr., and Mrs. David Fairleigh, was that of a winner on a long shot at the Derby. l am still excited at the memory of it. Can you imagine the emotion one feels when a bundle is untied and a sheepskin parchment unfolds, showing a patent to land given and signed by Henry Lee, governor of Virginia, "Light Horse Harry" Lee, father of Robert E. Lee? Or the drama I felt when I found a promissory note signed by George Rogers Clark ? I took the Clark note downstairs and showed it to Mr. Roby. He was duly impressed. Then he said plaintively, "Is it genuine?....I'm not good at forgery," I replied. I'm not certain he believed me, for the next morning Mr. Jack Muir came to the court house armed with a facsimile of George Rogers Clark's signature. Mr. Muir pronounced our find genuine. For some strange reason from that time onward we received respectful attention from the powers-that-be in Nelson County. George Rogers Clark had opened the door. After Mr. Muir's visit that morning we received calls from Judge R. Lee Beeler, County Judge, and Mr. W. H. Fulton, County Attorney. They looked long and earnestly at the signature on the note; at a letter written by George Mason's son, George; and at our collection of warrants and patents signed by some of the early governors of Virginia and Kentucky. 144 The Filson Club History Quarterly [Vol. 30 I thought of the stories that lie behind these little scraps of paper in the court houses. I had just been reading a biography of George Rogers Clark. And looking at the documents we had found, that promissory note of George Rogers Clark brought back a flood of memories, stories of his tragic life. It made me realize that each record in a court house is not a dull statistic, not a cold fact or figure, but a record of a human life, a chronicle of joy or sorrow, of ambition achieved or of failure suffered. During the Revolution George Rogers Clark had been the con- queror, for the infant United States, of all the territory from the Alle.gheny Mountains to the Mississippi River. In spite of his patriotic services, the stripling government had unjustly and cruelly failed to give him financial aid, which forced him to impoverish himself in financing his campaign, the campaign which kept open the back door, by way of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, for supplies for Washington and the Continental Army. The promissory note of George Rogers Clark, which we found, had been given to one Dorsey Pentecost of £ 116 17/6 "in lawful current money of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.''3 It was dated 21st of March, 1793. Dorsey Pentecost had been an influential person in Yohogania County, Virginia. And the records show that on the first day of the sitting of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Yohogania County, Virginia, December 23, 1776, "Dorsey Pentecost Esquire was unanimously chosen and appointed their Clerk.''4 My favorite finds in the Nelson Coufity records are two items from Yohogania County, Virginia.

    L'HOMME AU MASQUE DE FER OU LES DEUX JUMEAUX Ouvrage publié après les recherches historiques les plus véridiques et les plus authentiques sur la captivité, les tortures, les cruautés et les souffrances que cette illustre victime a eu à subir pendant sa longue existence PAR M. T. DE ROBVILLE PARIS - LE BAILLY - 1865. CHAPITRE PREMIER LES ILES STE-MARGUERITE. — DIVERSES HYPOTHÈSES SUR L'HOMME AU MASQUE DE FER. — L'ÉCOLIER DE CLERMONT. — FOUQUET À PIGNEROL. Quand, en allant de Toulon à Nice, on longe le littoral de la Méditerranée et qu'on arrive à Cannes, ce village dont la population s'est triplée en vingt ans, grâce à l'affluence des étrangers qui viennent demander à son ciel sans nuages et à son air vivifiant, la force et la santé, on aperçoit à quelques kilomètres en mer un groupe d'îles, dont la plus proche trace sur les Îlots une longue bande noire couronnée de remparts et de tours. C'est l'île Sainte-Marguerite, qui, avec sa voisine Saint-Honorat, forme ce que l'on appelle le groupe de Lérius . Cette île se nommait autrefois Léro , du nom de Leran , divinité celto-lygrenne qui y avait un temple. Les Gaulois adoraient Leran comme la personnification de la force et du courage. On lui rendait chez eux le même culte que les Romans rendaient à Hercule. Le terrain de l'île fut défriché par des religieux du monastère de Lérius. En 1635, les Espagnols s'en emparèrent et y élevèrent quelques fortifications, dont l'une s'appelait le fort Aragonais ; mais, en 1637, le cardinal de Richelieu en fit prendre possession au nom du roi Louis XIII et l'érigea en gouvernement.

The affair of James de la Cloche only attracted the author's attention after most of the volume was in print. But any reader curious in the veiled intrigues of the Restoration will probably find it convenient to peruse 'The Mystery of James de la Cloche' after the essay on 'The Valet's Master,' as the puzzling adventures of de la Cloche occurred in the years (1668-1669), when the Valet was consigned to lifelong captivity, and the Master was broken on the wheel. What would have been done to 'Giacopo Stuardo' had he been a subject of Louis XIV., ''tis better only guessing.' But his fate, whoever he may have been, lay in the hands of Lord Ailesbury's 'good King,' Charles II., and so he had a good deliverance.

Adventure, Seduction, Intrigue, and Justice (in a fine Kindle French edition)By JeffersonReading Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844) (in the original French thanks to the well-formatted and free as far as I could tell from typos Candide Cyrano Kindle version and the Collins French Kindle dictionary) surprised me because the film adaptations had made me expect a funny adventure story full of swordplay and derring-do. Although there are duels and skirmishes aplenty, the novel is really about love and often feels like Les Liaisons Dangereuse. The Romeo-like Duke of Buckingham tries to make the French queen fall in love with him, to the point of going to war with France ("for a word from her, I would betray my country, I would betray my king, I would betray my God"), d'Artagnan pursues both the angelic Constance ("His heart, swollen with the intoxication of joy, was about to swoon on the brink of the terrestrial paradise called love") and the demonic Milady ("he felt an insane passion for this woman burning him"), and the Three Musketeers are involved with past and present amours.The novel is set in 1625, a time of conflict between the European powers and between Protestants and Catholics (who are trying to exterminate each other).

    TITLE OF THESIS: La fabrique d’un roi : les représentations de Louis XIV pendant son enfance et sa première jeunesse (1638-1661) dans la fiction littéraire en France de la Révolution à Alexandre Dumas Name of Author: Anissa Bennaïli Student number: 10137467 PhD Thesis in Arts (French Studies) Department of French Studies Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick Internal Supervisor: Mr Darach Sanfey Co-Supervisor: Dr Alan English Internal Examiner: Dr Sylvie Lannegrand External Examiner: Professor Máire Cross Submitted to Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, May 2016 Abstract Anissa Bennaïli, ‘La fabrique d’un roi : les représentations de Louis XIV pendant son enfance et sa première jeunesse (1638-1661) dans la fiction littéraire en France de la Révolution à Alexandre Dumas’ This doctoral thesis proposes a study of fictional representations of the young dauphin and monarch Louis XIV in literary fiction in France from the Revolution to Alexandre Dumas. It specifically examines the portrayal of the future Sun King from his birth in 1638 to the commencement of his personal rule over France, following the death of Cardinal Mazarin on 9th March 1661. The main aim of this work is to understand how, in the French collective imagination, the figure of the dauphin and the young king evolved and was shaped by writers from the Revolution to 1854. This work identifies the various historical sources used by eighteenth and nineteenth-century novelists and playwrights and discusses the networks of influence that can be found within their works of fiction. Furthermore, by comparing successive fictional portraits of Louis as a child, teenager and young man with the historical facts, as established by the most renowned and authoritative seventeenth-century specialists, it sheds light on the aesthetic, political and ideological choices made by authors in the first half of the long nineteenth century.

  • The Valet: the Marquis De Louvois's Invited Guest in the Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask by Sarah Madry Prefatory Remarks
    The Valet: The Marquis de Louvois’s Invited Guest in the Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask by Sarah Madry Prefatory Remarks on the Spelling of Names The last name of the man known as the Man in the Iron Mask is spelled “Dauger” except where another author’s spelling is quoted. A seventeenth-century Paris family of minor nobility will be dis- cussed. That family’s name is spelled “d’Auger de Cavoye,” except where another author’s spelling is quoted. Why Solving the Problem of the Man in the Iron Mask Is Important for Scholars of French Seventeenth-century History This article addresses one description of the mysterious prisoner called L’Homme au masque de fer written in a letter, dated 19 July 1669, by the government official who oversaw his transfer to prison, Louis XIV’s (1638–1715) twenty-eight-year-old secretary for war, François-Michel Le Tellier, the marquis de Louvois (1641–1691). Louvois characterized Dauger in that letter as “only a valet.” Scholars have been compelled to incorporate this description of the prisoner into their theories about his identity. The search for the answer to this mystery has been tangled up in the demand of the “valet” to be consequential. This paper shows that, contrary to what has always been assumed, Louvois’s characterization of the prisoner as “un valet” does not describe the prisoner’s background or previous occupation, nor did Louvois intend it to. The word “valet” is a keyword in a pun that Louvois inserted into the state document that he wrote to the prison jailer, whom he knew person- ally.

The story well describes the societal norms of France at the time. All that remains now is D'Artagnan, will he stand against his long time friends, or do what is best for his country? Historians have also argued that 17th-century protocol made it unthinkable that a man of royal blood would serve as a manservant, casting some doubt on speculation that Dauger was in some way related to the king.

Perhaps this consideration, rather more than his original crime, explains the absolute secrecy to which Dauger was condemned and the precaution of the mask. He contributed to the reorganization of the French army.
