  • How the Americans Lost the Battle of Kekionga
    General Josiah Harmar’s Campaign Reconsidered: How the Americans Lost the Battle of Kekionga Michael S. Warner” Some jealousies took place, and reproaches ensued. Complaints, indeed, forever fol- low misfortune, as that is but too often the companion of misconduct. Humphrey Marshall, The History of Kentucky, 1812. General Josiah Harmar’s campaign against the “Indian ban- ditti” along the Maumee River in 1790 marks a watershed in the settlement of the Old Northwest and also in the evolution of Amer- ica’s military institutions. His expedition, the Constitutional re- public’s first attempt to impose its will by offensive arms, initiated four years of warfare on the part of the federal government to halt Indian depredations on the Ohio frontier. It was one in a series of events that led to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, to the abandon- ment by Great Britain of the forts still held on American soil, to expansion of the peacetime military establishment, and to the per- manent widening of the federal role in maintaining the nation’s security. Harmar’s campaign remains, paradoxically, both well known to scholars and in many ways not well understood. This state of affairs does not result from a dearth of information. Harmar’s con- temporaries could learn easily the outline of the campaign’s events and could infer from scattered but numerous clues the causes be- hind its failure. Since 1790 many more facts have come to light; yet, in spite of historians’ familiarity with the expedition, signifi- cant aspects of it are still unclear. The campaign’s climactic battle, for example, has never been accurately described and to this day remains nameless.

  • THE Great Contribution Which the Scotch-Irish Have Made To
    COLONEL JAMES BURD IN THE FORBES CAMPAIGN HE great contribution which the Scotch-Irish have made to our country has been the subject of much discussion. We Tsometimes forget, however, the many sturdy sons who came here directly from a Scottish home. James Burd was one of the lat- ter. Born of good parentage in 1726 near Edinburgh, he came to Philadelphia in 1748. Here he became a merchant and by marriage allied himself with three of the most influential Pennsylvania fam- ilies—the Shippens, the Willings, and the Aliens. These families were friends of the proprietaries, and Burd was soon given important assignments in provincial affairs. In 1752, he moved to Shippens- burg, a frontier village where he managed a plantation, aided Ed- ward Shippen, his father-in-law, in his fur trade, and soon had his finger on the pulse of international affairs in the Indians' land. He became agent for William Allen who was gathering supplies for Braddock's army} he was one of five commissioners named by Gov- ernor Morris to survey a road; and the responsibility for its con- struction rested almost entirely on Burd. Always inadequately equipped and provisioned, Burd cut the road through sixty-five miles of wilderness country in ten weeks' time. This first road to the west was traveled by pioneers to the Ohio country, and in the later terri- torial dispute between Virginia and Pennsylvania, Burd's Road helped bind the Monongahela country and the Pittsburgh district to Pennsylvania.* Entering the provincial service as a captain, January 17, 1756, Burd was commissioned a colonel by August 18, 1758.

Edward Shippen Burd's grandfather, Col. James Burd (1726-1793), was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, and settled on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after his marriage in 1748 to Sarah Shippen, a member of the prominent Shippen family of Lancaster and Shippensburg. He joined the military as an officer at the outbreak of the French and Indian War, eventually earning the rank of colonel by 1758. From 1756-1757 he was in command of Fort Augustus, near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and from 1764-1770 he held the office of Justice of Lancaster County. In 1774, a year before the outbreak of hostilities with Great Britain, Col. Burd was instrumental in garnering local support for the colonial congress in its opposition to the Crown, and by the following year was assisting in the military organization of Lancaster County as a member of the Committee of Safety.

Deyden's luirn. PHILADELPHIA: J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. FOR THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 1859. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1859, by THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. STEREOTYPED BY W. S. HAVEN, PITTSBURGH, PA. iWf MEMOIR. Ebenezer Denny was born in Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, on the 11th of March, 1761. He was the eldest child of William Denny and Agnes Parker. William, and his brother Walter, came to Cumberland from Chester County, in 1745. Walter Denny settled two or three miles south of Carlisle, where he owned a large tract of land, now divided into five farms. He raised a company for the Revolutionary struggle, was killed at the battle of the Crooked Billet ; and his son taken, and kept three months on board a Jersey prison- ship. David Denny, for many years pastor of the Pres- byterian church at Chambersburg, was a son of Walter. William lived in Carlisle. He was the first Coroner west of the Susquehanna, and a Commissary in the war. The mother of Ebenezer Denny, Agnes, was the daughter of John Parker, and grand-daughter of Richard Parker. Richard, as early as 1730, acquired lands on the Cannadaguinnet, three miles west of Carlisle. These lands continued for two or three generations afterward in possession of his descendants.

  • The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville
    A Thesis Entitled The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville: Why Did Anthony Wayne Win Both and Could He Have Lost? By Bryce Dixon Blair Jr. Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Liberal Studies ____________________ Advisor: Dr. Alfred Cave ____________________ Committee Member: Dr. Michael Jakobson ____________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo May 2005 Acknowledgements This thesis project would have forever remained an uncompleted enigma without crucial support and assistance from several people. My first and most heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Cherie. She worked even harder as almost a single parent during the long hours of reading, research, and writing that quite often kept me away from the family. She left me alone when I needed privacy and solitude and she prodded me to varying degrees when I needed greater focus and motivation. She has also been my invaluable technical advisor for the art of computer science. Though they are too young to appreciate this now, I thank my two young children, Bryce and Eryn, for accepting an absent Dad at times. They provided me with love and attention and much needed respites from academic pursuits. I thank my parents, Bryce and Eleanor, who have always placed a strong emphasis on intelligence and education by example but have done so without judgement. My mother lent me a copy of James Thom’s Panther In The Sky about a dozen years ago and this helped to rejuvenate my interest in this historical era. Special credit is due my thesis committee: Dr.

Tizanks are due also to the many Pattersun descendants who ha-;:e so cheer­ fully funzi'slzed such additional information as they possessed, in order lo make the book as com­ plete a history of the .r,•hole family as possible; and especially to Charles L. Patterson, -;r,•hnse hearty and generous support has made tlze comple­ tiun of the project possible. PREFACE I~ accordance with the ancient and not yet obsolete cus­ tom of offering a prefatory word, some explanation of the plan, scope and character of the present work may acceptably find place here. This book, being a departure from the standard, may perhaps be best described by mentioning some of the points wherein it differs from other genealogical works. In the first place, it is not just a genealogical record. It is a family history. And, the early history of the family being closely interwoven with the colonial history of Pennsy 1- vania, portions of the latter have been included in order to render the former intelligible and to demonstrate its claim to interest.
