"You are sensible, Capt. Markham, that by an observation taken yesterday that this plantation is in thirty-nine degrees forty-seven minutes and some seconds, and must therefore be sensible that I am here about twelve miles to the southward of the degree of forty, which is my north bound as the same is Mr. Penn's south bound. Therefore, afore you and all the rest here present, I lay claim to this place and as far further as the degree of forty will reach." To this claim of Lord Baltimore, Markham made no response, but with courteous attention conducted the former to the boat, and thus they parted. Baltimore, as he descended the river, halted at Marcus Hook, where he landed, and, going to each of the dwellings at that place, prohibited the residents from paying anv more quit-rents to Penn, as the land did not come within his territory, but was part of Maryland, and that he, Baltimore, would return suddenly and take possession of his own. This notification, particularly as the one who made it was attended with the pomp and circumstance of power, caused the utmost consternation among the settlers, who repaired to Upland the next day, just as Markham -- the instrument being placed on board a boat--was about starting on horseback with his attendants for New Castle, and so great was the excitement consequent on Lord Baltimore's unexpected claim that Markham called his Council immediately together, and they decided that the Deputy Governor must remain at Upland "to quiet the disturbed people." Whereupon Markham wrote to Lord Baltimore that he could not meet him at New Castle under the circumstances.1 1 For fuller particulars of the interview between Baltimore and Markham, see 6 Penn. Mag. of History and Biography, p. 412. Although the proprietaries of the two provinces could not adjust their dispute, for the expediency of the inhabitants the court at Chester, on March 14, 1683, declared that Naaman's Creek should be the boundary line between the two counties; and so generally was this recognized, that Thomas Holme, surveyor-general under Penn, in his "map of the improved part of the Province of Pennsylvania in America," observes this division. Nevertheless there was some confusion existing, hence ten years later, in 1693, a petition was presented by some of the inhabitants of Chester County to the Governor and Council, stating that they were seriously inconvenienced because of there being no authoritatively recognized line between that county and New Castle. The Council after discussing the topic, on the 9th of August, 1693, -- "Resolved, That for the present convenience of the government, and not for an absolute and final proprietarie division, but that the inhabitants on the borders of both counties may Know to which of the two to pay their levies, taxes, etc., and perform their other countie services, the bounds of New Castle county shall extend northward to the mouth of Naaman's creek and upwards along the southwest side of the Northmost branch (excluding the townships of Concord and Bethel), and not to extend backwards of the said northmost branch above the said two townships." For eight years the boundary thus established seemed to meet in a measure the demands of the sparsely-settled country immediately effected thereby, although the constantly-growing disposition on the part of the inhabitants of the three lower counties (now the State of Delaware) to separate from the territory comprising the commonwealth of Pennsylvania was often manifested during the interval, and at length culminated in a petition from the Assembly to Penn, 20th of Seventh month, 1701, in which they urge "that the division line between the counties of New Castle and Chester be ascertained allowing the boundary according to the proprietary's letters patent from the King." Penn, then in Philadelphia, in response to this petition, replied, "It is my own inclination, and I desire the representatives of New Castle and Chester Counties forthwith, or before they leave town, to attend me about the time and manner of doing it." In conformity with the wish of Penn a conference was held, which resulted in a warrant being issued 28th of Eighth month, 1701, to ISAAC TAYLOR, surveyor of Chester County, and Thomas PIERSON, surveyor of New Castle County, requiring them to meet the magistrates of the two counties, or any three of them, and, -- "In their presence to admeasure and survey from the town of New Castle the distance of twelve miles in a right line up ye said river and from ye said distance according to ye King's letters patent and deeds from the Duke and ye said circular line to be well-marked two-thirds parts of ye semicircle." The surveyor designated made report that, on the 4th day of Tenth month (December), 1701, in the presence of CORNELIUS EMPSON, Richard Halliwell, and John Richardson, justices of New Castle County, and Caleb Pusey, Philip Roman, and Robert Pyle, justices of Chester County, they ran the division lines, beginning at the point of the radial line, which was selected by the magistrates "at the end of the horse dyke next to the town of New Castle." Thence they measured due north twelve miles, the termination of that distance being "a white oak marked with twelve notches standing on the west side of Brandywine Creek, in the lands of Samuel Helm;" thence, eastwardly," circularly changing our course from the east southward one degree at the end of every sixty-seven perches, which is the chord of one degree to a twelve mile radius; and at the end of fortyv-three chords we came to the Delaware River, on the upper side of Nathaniel Lampley's old house at Chichester." The surveyors then returned to the marked white oak on Helm's land and ran a westwardly course, changing, as before, "our course one degree from the west-southward at the end of every sixty-seven perches,... until we had extended seventy-seven chords, which, being added to the forty-three chords, make two-thirds part... « Previous Page (Page 17) Next Page (Page 19) » Ashmead's "History of Delaware County" Homepage Delaware County History Homepage __________ History of Delaware Co., PA Ashmead, Chapter 31, p. 313 Chapter XXXI Birmingham Township. ...owned by George Gilpin was occupied by Gen. Howe as his headquarters, and there the commander-in-chief remained until the following Tuesday, when the British army moved to the Boot Tavern, in Goshen township. The farm, with the old dwelling standing thereon, is now owned by Elias Baker, and the latter every now and then in plowing turns up British pieces of coin, dropped by the invaders of a century ago. Francis Chadsey, or Chads, as the name afterwards came to be written, - now frequently and improperly spelled Chadd, - emigrated from Wiltshire, England, early in 1689, with his wife, and resided at or near Chichester until about 1696, when his name appears on the list of taxables for Birmingham. It is presumed that he located on the five hundred acres surveyed to Henry Bernard, or Barnet, early in March, 1684, and conveyed to Daniel Smith, March 28, 29, 1686, which tract included all the present village of Chad's Ford. Francis Chads did not, however, acquire title to the estate until Nov. 24, 1702, and on May 4th of the following year he purchased one hundred and eleven acres adjoining his estate to the southeast, from Edmund Butcher. Chads served as a member of the Assembly from Chester County for the years 1706 and 1707, and about that time, it is believed by Gilbert COPE, he erected his corn-mill, the first in Pennsylvania, on the Brandywine, for dying in 1713 he devised to one of his sons "a half share in my corn-mill." This mill, which is supposed to have been a log building, was permitted to go to decay, until in time its very site was forgotten; indeed, that it had ever existed passed out of the memory of man, until in 1860 in making the excavations for the foundations of the brick mill erected by Caleb Brinton, a short distance west of the station of the Baltimore Central Railroad, at Chad's Ford a log with an old wrought-iron spike was found, with other evidences establishing the location of Chads' mill. That this was the first mill on the Brandywine, as is frequently asserted, cannot be successfully maintained, for as early as May 17, 1689, a petition of "ye Inhabitants of Brandywine River or Creek against ye dam made upon ye creek, wch hinders ye fish passing up to ye great damage of ye inhabitants,"1 shows conclusively that a mill of some kind had then been erected. We know that twenty years before Chads' mill was built, on April 2, 1667, "CORNELIUS EMPSON's petition Concerning a Bridg Road and Water mill on Brandywine Creek was Read."2 This mill, however, was in Delaware. 1 Colonial Records, vol. i. p. 292. 3 Ib., p. 199. 2 Ib.,p. 199. John Chads, who received the larger part of his father's estate, after his marriage to Elizabeth RICHARDSON, in 1729, is believed to have built the old stone house close to the spring, still standing, the most northern one in the village of Chad's Ford, which was opposite the then ford of the Brandywine. In 1829, when the bridge was erected, the petition for its construction being presented to court July 17, 1828, the road crossing the stream was carried to the south, its present course. The tradition in the neighborhood is that the log cabin of Francis Chads had stood near by where the present stone building now stands. As the tide of emigration moved westward public travel necessarily increased, and as the Brandywine in rainy weather and in spring-time was so swollen that it was almost impossible to cross it, John Chads was solicited to establish a ferry at that place, and to aid him in that public work the county loaned him thirty pounds to meet the expense he was put to in building a "flatt or schowe." He seems to have been ready to enter into the duties required in 1737, for on August 30th of that year the following records appear in the proceedings of the Court of Quarter Sessions: "John Chads having petitioned the court setting forth that by the concurrence of the Justices and by order of the Commissioners and Assessors, a ferry being erected over Brandywine creek on the road leading from PHILADELPHIA TO NOTTINGHAM, and no rates for the same established, prays that such rates be set for the same, as to the court may seem reasonable: Whereupon the court taking the same into consideration, have adjudged the rates hereafter mentioned may be demanded and taken by the said John Chads,or his assigns or successors in the said ferry: "For Every horse and rider, four pence. Every single person on foot, three pence; if more, two pence each. Every ox, cow, or heifer, four pence each. Every sheep, one pence. Every hog, three half-pence. Every coach, wagon, or cart, one shilling and six pence. Every empty wagon or cart, nine pence. Every steed, four pence. "To the aforesaid rates the justices have subscribed their names: "Richard Hayes, "John Crosby, "Henry Bates, "Samuel Hollingsworth, "John Parry, "Abraham Emmitt, "Caleb Cowpland, "Elisha Gatchell, "Joseph Brinton." The story of the ford is so intimately connected with the tavern at that point that all further reference to it will be found in the narrative of the license houses of Birmingham, excepting the fact that in 1760, the year of John Chads' death, it appears that the old flat was worn out, and for "rebuilding the Flatt" he charged the county £44 3s. 6d., one of the items in the bill rendered being "To five weeks diet to boat-builder at six shillings per week £1 10s." The post planted on the west side of the Brandywine to fasten the ferry rope to, was still standing in 1827, but the rope, windlass, and boat had disappeared. About the date given Hetty Brown, a colored woman, who kept a small store at the ford, where she sold cakes and beer, for a small sum would ferry passengers across the creek in a boat, which she shoved with a pole. John Chads' widow was living at the ford on the day of the battle of Brandywine, in the stone house already mentioned. Dr. Darlington related that Amos House, a « Previous Page (Page 312) Next Page (Page 314) » Ashmead's "History of Delaware County" Homepage Delaware County History Homepage ___________________ State of Maryland Appendix to Council Proceedings, 1696-1729. 559 have a warrt to bring the sd seamen before them but that B.

Left James a mulatto slave named "Andrew." Left Ebenezer a slave boy named "Zacharias."

If she married, she was to get only 100 pounds silver money and slave woman "Grace." Fact 7d: Left daughters Sarah and Elizabeth one moiety and half of the mill at White Clay Creek. I believe this reads as though Sarah and Elizabeth were sisters by the same mother. I think it's likely Sarah and Elizabeth were the daughters of Elizabeth Watkins. Fact 7e: The Sarah Empson who was born 20may1687 could've died in infancy and the Sarah Empson who married Thomas Bird could've been born ca1690. I need to find the source for the birthdates.

Fact 3: Buried at Olde Swede's Church in Wilmington, DL. Notes for SUSANNA WOOD: Francina Herman (1062 - ?). It is believed that she left for Holland before 1679 but soon returned to America, She joined the Dutch Church in New York and was subsequently married to Joseph Wood. Unfortunately there is no single document in existence which would provide explicit information about their children. Nevertheless, based on indirect evidence from the last wills and land transactions of the descendants, it could be surmised that the Woods had six children, namely, Joseph, Robert, Jennie (who married Thomas Clark), Susannah (who married Ebenezer Empson), Letitia. (who married Samuel Lowman) and Rebecca Wood. As shows in the Genealogical Tree, there is no information on Rebecca Wood and hardly any information exists on the descendants of Joseph Wood, .Susannah Wood and Letitia Wood. This should be a fertile ground for more research. Most of the genealogical research has focused on the descendants of Robert Wood (particularly the Judge Joseph Wood's line) and the Bouldin line of the Thomas Clark's descendants.

DRUMMOND ____________ "Traditionally, his (John Bird Burnhams) Mother's (Elizabeth Van Leuvenigh Bird 1835-1900) family had come from Ireland to Virginia with Lord Baltimore. Her colonial ancestor was one of the two brothers of William Byrd of Westover. The story goes that an Irish tutor suggested changing the spelling of their surname to differentiate them from the Birds that fly. The older brother therefore adopted the variation of Byrd. The next (stuck with) Bird; this left for the son's direct ancestor only the original for of the name." This is from a biography of John Bird BURNHAM, a great-great grandson of Thomas Bird. The author states that the above scenario is unlikely. Two excerpts from Mary Mayer Birds "Life of Robert Montgomery Bird" includes two accounts of Bird ancestry as follows. One excerpt comes from Robert Montgomery Bird himself. This history, undoubtedly correct in most particulars, is found recorded in Dr. Bird's own handwriting. This was hastily made after an interview with an aged sister of his father... "According to Mrs. Harvey, my fathers great-grandad (it was he who was such a goliath of strength, though old and very fat) was the founder of the family. He was an Irishman, his wife English. He bought lands 5 or 6 miles above Wilmington, on the city road, probably as early as 1700..." The sister referred to above was Sarah ( no dates ) who married Alex Harvey in 1784. "My fathers great-grandad" in the above quotation would have been Thomas Bird, the subject of these notes. "Dr Bird used jokingly to say, when the subject of ancestry came up in his presence,' that for his part, he had small cause to boast, being descended from a 'Jail-Bird' -- alluding to the tradition, received as reliable by some members of the family that its founder had been banished to Virginia on the restoration of Charles the 2nd, for his liberal opinions, his brother having paid more dearly with his life." The Clement E. Foust book on Robert Montgomery Bird has the following: "The Birds trace their lineage to an old English family from Cheshire, whither they originally came from Ireland. John Bird, one of its members, won eminence in the time of King Henry the VIII....he was successively bishop of Penrith, Bishop of Bangor, and in 1541 First Bishop of Chester. At the restoration, a family tradition avers, two brothers of the name, members of Parliament, voted against King Charles with the result that one lost his head leaving a widow and children in England. The other was banished to America, where his son supposedly began the family line. Certain it is that Thomas Bird settled in Delaware about 1700... If the 'other' son was banished shortly after the restoration ( 1660 ) he could have settled somewhere in America ( NJ, Penn or Va ) and established a family including Thomas Bird born in 1680. To date no one has been able to document such a connection." _________________ State of Maryland At A County Cort of adjournmt helld the 28th day of november in the eight year of the Dominion of y Rt honr:ble Charles over Maryland Annoq Dom 1683 before his Lopps Justices thereunto assigned & Authorised The honr:ble Collo William STEVENS presedent Capta Henry Smith major Ambrose London present Capta John WINDER mr William Jones Commrs mr: William Brereton THOMAS BIRD plte Poole pro plte agt William PIPER deft Seaward pro deft before tryall y deft Craves Security of y plte if in case the plte be cast mr Wm Brereton ingaged to pay the Cost & damadges for Thomas Bird if in case he be cast: & thereupon plte & deft: Joines issue to be tryed by the Cort: Decla: read vizt Sommersett County Ss William Piper late of this County was attached to answr unto Thomas Bird in an accon of Trespas upon the Case &c And whereupon the plte by Thomas Poole his attorney Comes & Saies that he the Piper in the year of or Lord 1683 Did borrow of the plte Severall blocks and Riggen & other necessaries for the fitting out of his vessell as will in Cort more plainely appear as pr accot here in Cort produced but he the said Piper fraudulently intending the plte to deceive of the aforesaid blocks & Riggen he the Sd Piper doth deny & utterly refuse to deliver the aforesd Riggen unto the plt although often there unto required by the plte in kinde as recd: by the deft: whereupon the plte Saith he is Damnified & hath damage for want of those necessaries to y value of Six Thousand pounds of Tobacco & thereupon brings this Sute ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Jno Doe pr que Tho: Poole Pledge de Pros Ricd Roe An Accot of blocks & Riggen & other necessaries Lent to mr Piper 1683 48lb: of Sheat Lead 50lb: of Stuffe wch: made roap 30lb: of oacom Stuff 4lb:of marline 2 main Tacks & 2 fore Tacks maine Clewe Garnetts main topmast Shrowds & Stay horses for main & fore yards & main Spindle 2 Chaine bolts & one Ironstroped dead eye one Iron pompe spere & box on (to-r?) box 2 pomp bolts 4 Dozen of blocks small & great 6 small deadeyes all Stroped 4 paralls & parrel roaps & a mizon truss 2 Iron bound Caske 2 scrapers one fishtackle hooke 6 Sayle needles one Cap for the main mast Errors Excepted pr me Tho: Bird Tho: Bird And the said William Piper by Josias Seaward his Attorney Comes ag: plea and defendeth the foresd Injury & Saith: Wm Piper That he the abovesaid Wm Piper did not borrow any Such goods as the above named Tho.

Proved by THOMAS MOSELEY, Bute Aug. Court 1772, BEN McCULLOCH, C.C. Reg. 8 Nov.1772, by JAS.JOHNSON,P.R. _______ Richard Bennehan was a self-made man. A native of Virginia, he came to North Carolina in 1768 as the partner of William Treasurer of the famed Transylvania Land Company, hired Daniel Boone to explore the Kentucky territory, the company had purchased from the Indians, and fitted out the Boone expedition at the same Snow Hill store. Young Bennehan saved his money and began to buy land. At the time of his death in 1826 he was among the largest landowners in the Carolina Piedmont, and one of the best known men around. He was an early trustee of the City of Raleigh, and though self-taught he was a well read man. His first purchases were on Flat River on nearby Brickhouse Road know as "Mt. Union." When he decided to build a new house he wanted a high point in the area so he could overlook his farming operations on the Flat River bottoms. He purchased a tract know as "Stagg's Old Raw Ground" from the Widow Stagg. Judith Stagg and her husband, Thomas, had run a tavern and they gave their name to the community established there, hence Stagville. Bennehan's new house, Stagville Plantation , was built about 1787 at the same time he built his own store on this tract... _____ Rena Andeerson Pittman Tue Nov 5 07:44:30 1996 BRACKEN(s), KITCHEN(s), STAGG(s), CALDWELL I would appreciate any information regarding John BRACKEN(s).

Notes for REBECCA LEATH: Grant, I have never seen any documentation of Betsy's parents. And I have to admit, I think your theory is interesting, but a stretch, no documentation. I will through you a bone - the Bristol Parish register shows a John and Rebecca Leath having a daughter Elizabeth in the late 1740s. I have never been able to place him - unless he is Charles's grandson John - but this really compresses the timeline if Charles Leath was born in 1687. The Albemarle Parish register says Charles was 83 years old when he died in 1770. You try the math and see what you come up with, four generations should take how many years? ____ Warren Co., NC DB-3, page 55. 29 January 1770.

Commrs: Zephaniah Tait, Obed Florance, Thomas Loyd, Quinten Anderson. ____ WINTON, NC was incorporated in 1766. The bill incorporating the town was introduced in the Assembly by Representative Benjamin WYNN who donated fifty acres as the town common. The town was named for him and was briefly known as Wynntown. The new town was soon made the county seat of government and has remained such ever since. As the new nation grew prominent New England traders used Winton as their trading point for southern goods. Among them was Elkanah Watson of Massachusetts who lived nearby and conducted his business in Winton. He later returned to New England where he completed the Erie Canal and began the state fair movement in America. Another was Eli FOOTE, grandfather of Harriet Beecher STOWE, who died while on a trading mission to Winton and is buried in the Colonial Cemetery here. The river continues to attract commerce and industry as is evidenced by the location of the Easco Aluminum Company within the Town of Winton and the Nucor Steel Mill nearby. Winton also played a part in the development of the tobacco industry in North Carolina. Here in 1881 David ANDERSON OWEN, tobacco pioneer who had traveled eastern North Carolina with WASHINGTON DUKE, built and operated Northeastern North Carolina’s only tobacco manufacturing factory. The Owen Tobacco Company produced Winton Smoking Tobacco, Owen Plug Tobacco and other tobacco products. Owen’s grave is in the Old Church Cemetery in Winton. Fishing has played a major role in the history of Winton. At one time the Chowan River teemed with herring and shad in season. The JORDAN family of Winton carried on large seine fishing operations at Mt. GALLANT on the west side of Winton and at BARFIELDS and Petty Shore on the east. Hauls of 100,000 fish were made twice a day. Today the river remains a favorite place for sports fishing. Bass tournaments and other fishing events are held frequently. During the Civil war Winton suffered its greatest tragedy. On February 20, 1862 the town was invaded by Union troops and burned to the ground. This was the first burning of a town anywhere during the Civil War occurring nearly two years before Sherman’s march through the South. The Federals approached Winton in three gunboats which had come up the Chowan River. They first bombarded the town. Finding it poorly defended they poured ashore plundering and setting fire to the Courthouse and to all of the county’s colonial records and then to every remaining structure in town except a church and one or two houses identified as belonging to Northern sympathizers. The town was virtually completely destroyed. The savagery and brutality of the uncalled for sacking and burning of Winton evoked protests in the North even in New York City from which the Federal troops came. The result for the invading regiment was denial of medals it had received for earlier action and disgrace for its leader. ___________________ CASWELL CO.

MARY LUCINDA12 FITCH, b. Abt. 1825. ii. EZRA FITCH, b. Abt. 1850. Notes for EZRA FITCH: A&F HISTORY In 1892 Abercrombie & Fitch began under the name David T. Abercrombie Co., a small waterfront shop and factory in downtown New York City owned by David Abercrombie. David Abercrombie, born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, was a former trapper, prospector, topographer and railroad surveyor. He was also an inventor, an ingenious designer of tents, rucksacks and other camping equipment. It was his love of the great outdoors that inspired him to begin Abercrombie & Co., a shop dedicated to selling only the highest-quality camping, fishing and hunting gear. His clientele consisted mostly of professional hunters, explorers and trappers. And a man named Ezra Fitch. Ezra Fitch was a successful lawyer in Kingston, New York. Restless and thoroughly bored with his life of law, Fitch spent all of his free time trekking the slopes of the Adirondacks and casting flies into the streams of the Catskill. In his search for exceptional outdoor gear, he had come to rely upon David Abercrombie's shop, becoming one of its most devoted customers. He was so devoted, in fact, that in 1900 he had convinced David Abercrombie to let him buy into the business and become a partner. By 1904, the shop (which by now had moved to 314 Broadway) was incorporated and the name was officially changed to Abercrombie & Fitch. Both David Abercrombie and Ezra Fitch were stubborn, hot-tempered men, and they had vastly different views about the future of their business. Abercrombie was more conservative, content to continue the store as it was, selling professional gear to professional outdoorsmen. Fitch, on the other hand, was more of a visionary. He was positive that the future of the business lay in expansion, selling the outdoors and its delights to more of the general public. Long arguments between the two men ensued. Inevitably, the partnership came to an end, and David Abercrombie resigned in 1907. In the meantime, the store continued to expand. Ezra Fitch was a determined innovator. As a result of his imagination, hard work and sheer force of will, what he created was no ordinary sporting goods shop. Fitch was determined that the store have an outdoor feeling. Stock was not hidden behind glass cabinets. Instead, it was displayed as if in use. He set up a tent and equipped it as if it were out in the middle of the wilds of the Adirondacks. A campfire blazed in one corner, where an experienced guide was always in attendance, imparting valuable information to interested customers. The clerks hired at A&F were not professional salesmen, but true rugged outdoorsmen. Talking was their pleasure and selling was performed only at the customers' insistence. By 1913, the store moved to a more fashionable and easily accessible midtown address just off Fifth Avenue, expanding its inventory to include sport clothing. A&F became the first store in New York to supply such clothing to women as well as men. Shortly after Abercrombie's resignation from the company, A&F began publishing a catalog. This impressive book featured 456 pages of outdoor gear and clothing as well as sage camping, hunting and fishing advice to 50,000 prospective customers around the world. Orders soon began to flood in from around the globe, bringing international status to the ever-expanding store. By 1917, Abercrombie & Fitch moved to Madison Avenue and 45th Street, where it occupied an entire twelve story building. Outside a sign proclaimed "Where the Blazed Trail Crosses the Boulevard." Abercrombie & Fitch had become the largest sporting goods store in the world, as well as the most impressive. A log cabin was built on the roof, which Fitch used as a townhouse. Next to it he had a casting pool installed, where serious fishermen could sample the store's impressive collection of rods and flies. In the basement, an armored rifle range was set up. There was also a golf school, a floor dedicated solely to completely set-up camps, and a dog and cat kennel. In addition to the more standard types of outdoor goods, A&F had a selection of exotic sporting equipment that would make the imagination reel: hot air balloons, yachting pennants, portable trampolines, treadmills for exercising dogs, throwing knives, shirts of chainmail, leopard collars, and everything a person could possibly need for falconry. Abercrombie & Fitch outfitted many great hunting and exploration expeditions, like Theodore Roosevelt's trips to Africa and the Amazon and Robert Peary's expedition to the North Pole. Ernest Hemingway bought his guns there. Presidents Hoover and Einsenhower relied on A&F for the best fishing equipment. Other famous clients included Amelia Earhart, Presidents Taft, Harding and Kennedy, the Duke of Windsor, Bing Crosby, Howard Hughes, Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Clark Gable. And there was more: Cole Porter ordered his evening clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch. During Prohibition, A&F was the place to buy hip flasks. By 1928, Ezra Fitch retired from the business to enjoy his remaining few years in the great outdoors that he loved so much. Abercrombie & Fitch continued to grow, with stores opening up in Chicago and San Francisco. But by the late '60s the store hit upon hard times and went bankrupt in 1977. Oshman's Sporting Goods, based in Houston, Texas, bought the company. Business wasn't good. The Limited Inc. bought Abercrombie & Fitch in 1988. And today, Abercrombie & Fitch thrives as an independently-owned entity. Now a powerful lifestyle brand, business is thriving at Abercrombie & Fitch with over 250 stores. This includes 35 "abercrombie" stores, a lifestyle brand for kids 7 to 14 years old. The company also publishes the A&F Quarterly. At the sunrise of the 21st Century, Abercrombie & Fitch continues its tradition of exceptional quality, service and innovation. The stores are still a hub of excitement and upbeat activity. A&F is a place where friends can come to spend time and find the well-made, stylish and durable goods that Abercrombie & Fitch has been creating for over a hundred years. iii. JAMES FITCH, b.

"The proof that JAMES LEA and WILLIAM LEA, the subjects of this article, were the orphan sons of JOHN LEA and ANN LEA, both deceased by 1731, lies in the transfer of 100 acres in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, from THOMAS CRETHERS to WILLIAM LEA, a minor on October 5, 1731, and the subsequent sale of this property by WILLIAM LEA and wife, FRANCES, September, 1752, to THOMAS WHITE.

THis land can be identified as being the same by its descriptions, there being only minor variations.

Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRAHAM, M.D.: Thanks to Stephen Neal Dennis for submitting the following information. Dr. Graham's first wife is buried at Union Ridge, as is his brother (I believe). His parents are also buried there, but he is buried in Chattooga County, GA at Bethel Presbyterian Church. Dr. Graham lived in several locations. His Bible was purchased while he was living at Cedar Grove in Orange County, NC. He was in Wake County, NC for the 1860 Census. He lived at "Kelvin Grove" at one point, and he may have inherited his father's house and lived there in Alamance County, NC. I have never figured out why he moved around so much, as doctors tend to become settled and develop a reliable practice. Stephen Neal Dennis FOUND IN DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRAHAM BIBLE Died, at her father's residence, on the 27th ultimo, Mrs. NANNIE D. GRAHAM, consort of Dr. B. F. Graham of this county, and daughter of George T. Martin, Esq. Of Caswell, leaving an affectionate husband and an interesting child, with an extensive circle of relatives and friends, to deplore their irreparable loss. Her severe and long continued afflictions she bore with unmurmuring resignation; and during her life she exemplified the dutiful daughter, the affectionate wife, the tender mother. She died in the 26th year of her age, beloved and respected by all who knew her. "My weeping relations, my husband and friends, Whose hearts are entwined with my own, Adieu, for the present, my spirit ascends Where friendship immortal is known." Milton Chronicle please copy. ____ [April 1855] Died, on the 6th inst., at his brother's residence in this county, Mr. THOMAS J. GRAHAM, son of Col. James Graham of Alamance, in the 24th year of his age. ____ DIED at his residence near Subligna, Georgia, on the 5th inst., Dr. B. F. Graham, in the 47th year of his age. The deceased was a native of Orange county, N.C., but had been, for three years past, a citizen of this county. He was a man of more than ordinary scientific and literary attainments, and had secured an enviable reputation in the practice of his profession. In his private life he was an exemplar, for he possessed all those qualities which constitute the true gentleman and make up an amiable character, and left him without enemies. He died regretted by his acquaintances, and deeply lamented by his relatives and intimate friends. Compelled by ill health to relinquish a calling which he loved, he sought rest in the retirement of private life, and in that privacy, having served his generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep -, a sleep from which the Elder Brother shall arouse him, when He maketh up his jewels.

Presbyterian [8.30.1849] Notes for HENRY WHITTED: Slavery in Orange County Slavery was well established in the colony of North Carolina long before Orange County came into being. Slavery was not as important an institution in Orange County as other places. At no time did slaves constitute more than 31 percent of the total population of the county. In 1755 (3 years after its founding) only 8 percent of the families owned slaves. The largest slaveholder at that time, Mark MORGAN, had only 6 slaves. By 1780, however, 3 percent of Orange Co slaveholders had more than 20 slaves. The 1790 census showed 10,055 whites, 2,060 Negro slaves, and 101 other free persons. At that time there were 14 slaveholders who had 10 slaves or more. 4 of these 14 lived in Hillsboro. William COOPER was the largest slaveholder in Hillsboro with 22 and Richard BENNEHAN, a planter, was the largest slaveholder in the county with 24. Others who had 10 or more were George ALLEN, John TAYLOR, Matthew McCAULEY, John HOGAN, homas H. PERKINS with 10 each; Walter ALVES with 11; William SHEPPARD and William O'NEAL with 12 each; Hardy MORGAN with 14; Alexander MEBANE with 16; and a person whose name is not known with 20. In 1860 less than half of all landowners in the county had slaves. Over 40 percent of those had only one slave. The following is a direct quote: "Most slaveholders owned a small number of slaves, hence the relationship between master and slave was very close. The master knew his slaves by name, took a personal interest in them individually, and looked upon them almost as members of his family" In 1860 the 3 largest slaveholders were I. N. PATTERSON with 106, Paul CAMERON with 98, and Henry WHITTED with 78. More About HENRY WHITTED: Burial: *************** See "Spouses." Fact 1: October 01, 1831, John W. SHAW, bm.

LEVIAS WALKER13 SHAW (NANCY ELIZABETH12 WALKER, SARAH11 BIRD, EMPSON10, JAMES9, SARAH8 EMPSON, CORNELIUS7, RICHARD6, RICHARD5, GREGORY4, ?XY...3, RICHARD2, PETER1) was born August 17, 1828 in Orange Co., NC, and died March 31, 1873 in Monroeton, Simpsonville Township, Rockingham Co., NC. He married MARY WALL September 15, 1853 in Rockingham Co., NC, daughter of JOHN WALL and EMILY/PERMELIA WHITSETT. She was born February 20, 1836 in Rockingham Co., NC, and died October 02, 1872 in Monroeton, Simpsonville Township, Rockingham Co., NC. Notes for LEVIAS WALKER SHAW: There was a John Shaw (black male, 42) with wife Adia (28), children: Albert (16), Sinda (12), Jona (8), William (7), George (6), David (4), Isabella (2), all listed in the census beside Levi and Mary Shaw in Monroeton. It's likely these Shaws were former slaves of Levias and Mary Wall Shaw and were being listed for the first time in an integrated census. They were apparently still living on or very near Levias' farm. I guess it's possible this John Shaw had been Levias' slave since childhood (they were the same age). This could also be the slave John given Mary Wall Shaw in the division of the estate of her grandfather (James Whitsett) in 1852. _______________ Rockingham Co.

AARON13 WALKER (EMPSON12, SARAH11 BIRD, EMPSON10, JAMES9, SARAH8 EMPSON, CORNELIUS7, RICHARD6, RICHARD5, GREGORY4, ?XY...3, RICHARD2, PETER1) was born October 04, 1828 in Orange Co., NC, and died 1902 in Haywood Co., TN. He married MARTHA HANNAH WILLIAMS December 13, 1854, daughter of JOHN WILLIAMS and MARY X. She was born Abt. 1830. Notes for AARON WALKER: >BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF AARON WALKER (Haywood Co., TN) > >The short biographical history that follows was written at the request of >my children that they might know and thus be able to transmit to their >posterity the character of their ancestors as best I may be able to >transmit it. > >My ancestors as far back as I can learn came from Ireland and settled in >Maryland in or about what year, I have never been able to learn --- only >that it was before the war for independence. > >My Great Grand Father was Named John, and in company with one of his >brothers, Philip, moved and settled in Orange County, N.C., about 10 miles >North West of Hillsborough before the Revolutionary War and as a soldier >took part in it on the side of the Colonies, and for Independence, but in >what division or under what general I have not been able to learn. But his >son Ashford Walker, Kept his uniform coat that he wore in the service and >carried it with him when he moved from North Carolina to Haywood County, >Tennessee, about the year 1830. His daughter Mrs. Wilder who is now living >assures me that it was well preserved and that she recollects distinctly >how it was made. It was blue trimed with red and she thinks had some marks >of being the coat of an officer. I recollect very distinctly up to the year >1848, that there was a military company kept up in that neighborhood and >had been for many years before as I was told, and the uniform was a blue >coat trimed with red straight breated, cut square back from the front, with >a short square skirt behind. I suppose it was the uniform coat of the >Company to which my Great Grand Father belonged, as that neighborhood was >noted for its numerous and patriocit adherents and supporters of >Independence, the principle of whom were the numerous families of Mebanes, >who were distinguished for their bravery. > >My Great Grand Father married a Miss Ashford and they had Eleven sons, but >no daughters. As this was somewhat remarkable I will give their names: I >can not give them in the order in which they were born, but only the number >of names: William, James, George, Abner, John, Aaron, Philip, Job, Joshua, >Ashford, and Hugh. Not a one of the number had a double name that I ever >heard of. They all married and settled within a radious of ten miles and >all had families and with but one exception, large ones, and so far as I >know were all highly respectable people. My Grand Father was named Aaron >and married Sallie Bird, and settled and died in that County. My Father was >named Empson, a family with which our family was connected as far back as >we could learn. My father married Martha Currie, whose father came to this >country from Ireland shortly after the war of 1776. > >My Father settled in one mile of the old homestead where he lived from1825 >until the year of 1842, when he moved to Haywood Co., Tennessee and settled >ten miles east of Brownsville. > >I was born in Orange County, North Carolina, on the 4th day of October >1828, so I was 14 years old when my Father moved to Tennessee. As there was >not a mile of railroad in the State at that time, we moved in wagons and >were 33 days on the road. > >As we came by the Hermitage, we all went down and made a short call on >General Andrew Jackson, who came out and invited us in and although but a >small boy, I was very much impressed with his manner and appearance. > >I never could go to school long at a time on account of my health, but >improved the time I could spare the best I could by studying at home. > >My Mother was a good woman -- a strict old time Presbyterian and was >careful to train her children and to chatechise them and teach them the way >they should live. My Father was not a member of the Church until a few >years before his death, when he made a profession of religion and joined >the Church. My parents raised three sons and four daughters all of whom >were members of the church. > >I made a profession of religion and joined the Presbyterian Church at Union >on the 16th of August 1846 and was publicly baptised by Rev. J.W. Strother >of Brownsville, who was at that time pastor of that Church. > >On the 13th day of December 1854, I married Martha Hannah, daughter of John >and Mary Williams. I then settled where I now live, two miles North West of >Brownsville. > >In early life I was inclined to believe in the doctrine commonly known as >Armenianism, but after studying the Bible as best I could I became a >decided Calvinist. In Church government, I am a Presbyterian believing that >to be the form of government adopted by the Apostles. I was first a Deacon >in the Church, but in the year of 1869 I was elected and ordained a Ruling >Elder in the Church at Brownsville, to which church I moved my membership >shortly after I settled there. > >In early life I had some desire to be a politician and studied the >teachings of Jefferson and Hamilton, they being the leaders of the two >great parties that sprang up shortly after the formation of the government. >I heartily adopted the doctrines of Jefferson and have been a Democrat all >of my life. I loved the constitution of my country and was in favor of its >being observed and obeyed according to what was known as a strict >construction, which I regarded as essential to our prosperity and peace as >a great confederacy of States, but when in 1860 I saw that nearly all of >the Northern States had by their Legislatures, nullified the provision for >the return of fugitive slaves and some of them had made it a felony for a >man to even claim one within their borders; and further that time of them >(Ohio and Penn.) had through their Governors refused to surrender on >requisition of Governor Wishe of Va. some of the accomplices of John Brown >in his murderous raid into Va. I came to the conclusion that we had better >withdraw from the government and established one our own, especially as the >party that approved of Browns raid, was soon to take possession of all >parts of the government, so I was in favor of secession and voted for it. I >believed that we would have war, but was confidant we would be able to >sustain our intependence. I would have enlisted early that I did, but my >health was such I could not leave home. I was suffering from an enlarged >liver, which produced a distressing cough. My friends thought I was taking >consumption, but early in 1864 fearing that the South would soon be >overpowered, I volunteered and joined the 14th Tennessee Calvary, commanded >at that time by Col. White. > >My family Physician, Dr. Sevier remonstrated with me and said that I would >be in a hospital soon. He gave me a certificate as to my health, so that I >I was not able to stand the service, it would enable me to get a discharge, > but contrary to all expectations my health improved rapidly, so in a few >months time it was restored so that I have been a healthy man every since. >Our Regiment was in active service all year. I was in every fight that the >Regiment was in, and whenever a call was made for men to perform any >hazardous duty I was always one of the volunteers. On the 24th of September >1864, I was wounded in the right fore arm at the taking of a fort on the >Nashville and Decatur R.R. at a place called Sulphur Trestle in North >Alabama. I was sent to a hospital at Lauderdale Springs, Mississippi. I was >soon furoughed and came home, but as the leaders of my arm were served, it >was several months before I was fit for duty, or able to be of any service >as a soldier and by that time I saw that the South would have to submit, so >I did not return to the command as it would only have been to be parolled. > >I submitted as best I could to the inevitable and have been as true and >loyal to the government since I was to it before. I never felt that we were >rebels, believing that we had the right to withdraw from the Federal >Government when ever it failed to give protection to person of our >guaranteed rights under the Constitution, this right having been reserved >by some of the States when the Government was first founded. I was before >the war a pro slavery man, but am now glad that it is forever abolished and >at an end. > >There being on Chaplin in the Regiment to which I belonged, a man by the >name of Coressett and myself agreed at the request of the good men of the >Regiment to hold and conduct prayer meeting service whenever we could, >which we did until I left when wounded. The men attended the services well >and were always very attentive. I found it very profitable to my own >spiritual interests and it also gave me many opportunities to do good that >I otherwise would not have had. saw so much wickedness in camp that my soul >was stired within that I seldom let an opportunity to reprove it pass >uninimproved, and I was always treated with respect when I did so. I formed >a very strong attachment for my co-laborer brother, Crossett, but have not >seen him since I left the battlefield. > >I saw many things that amused me, even when under fire. I will give one >instance. When General Forrester met the Federal General Smith at Oxford, >Miss. the regiment to which I belonged was sent to the front and a line of >battle was formed and a skirmish line was thrown forward for two or three >hundred yards. I was one of the number and when the enemy advanced, as they >soon did the batteries opened fire and as we were between the lines, but >below them, the shells flew directly over our heads, making a very >unpleasant sound as they passed. And to add to this the enemies >sharp-shooters began to fire at us. The man on my left began to complain of >being very sick. I told him that I was very hungry as I had not had any >thing to eat for several days but green corn, for I could not eat the >hard-tack that had been issued as it was badly spoiled. He told me that he >had some biscuits in his haversack that I was welcome to as he never did >expect to need them. I watched my chance and slipped over to him, he turned >his haversack to me and I thrust my right hand in it and found three large, >good flour biscuit. I at first thought I would be polite and leave him one >at least, but my appetite over powered my regard for politeness, so I >brought all three our with my hand, and then hastened back to my post and >ate them as quickly as possible for fear I might loose them. Starkey, (for >that was his name,) soon became very sick indeed and wanted to leave, but I >told him that the moment he left his post or started back across the field >that the enemies sharpshooters would bring him down. I laughed heartily >when I thought what his condition would be that night, as it was late in >the day and I knew he would not be able to get any thing more, at least >before the next day. But his loss was my gain that time as the enemy soon >fell back and Starkey was ordered into line, while I was ordered forward as >one of the pickets for the night and a part of it was spent in skirmishing >with the enemy and but for the contents of Starkey's haversack, I would >have been in a bad fix. > >A few days after the foregoing incident, General Forrest seeing that he >could not fight General Smith to advantage as the forces of the later >greatly out numbered his, as General Smith had 10,000 infantry, 5,000 >Calvary and forty pieces of artilery, while he had only about 4,000 >calvary, took 21,000 picked troops and early in the night passed around >Smith's right and dashed for Memphis. The regiment to which I belonged was >taken, but as I was sick was left, but as soon as I was able to ride went >to the front, as General Chalmers was left with the balance of the army in >Smith's front to keep him from knowing that Forrest had left. I went to the >7th Tennessee Cavalry and to a company that was from my own neighborhood, >commanded by Captain Davis. I found them in line with the enemy immediately >in front and momentarily expecting an engagement. I was feverish and >suffering for water. I saw what I took to be a spring about 200 yards in >front and about half way to where the enemy was. I told Captain Davis that >I must have water and that I was going to the spring for it. He asked me If >I did not see the enemy burning a mill just beyond the spring and if I went >they would be certain to shoot me, but I was so very thirsty I determined >to risk it, so mounting my horse I rode leisurely but keeping a sharp watch >on the enemy. When I reached the spring I found it a strong one, running >from under a little bluff over clear white sand. I dismounted quickly took >down the gourd that was hanging by and drank until satisfied, then filling >my canteen remounted my horse and taking the reins well in my hands rode >slowly back to the lines. The enemy thinking the game was small, or more >likely not wishing to bring on a skirmish did not fire at me, for which I >was very thankful. I rode up to Captain Davis and said to him, I have some >of the coldest and best water I ever drank and offered it to him and he >drank heartily.

PINNIX: Double Springs Baptist Cemetery This cemetery is located on The Maben Sturgis Road about 10 miles north of Sturgis or about 5 1/2 miles south of Maben. The Cemetery is located beside the Church. Last visited Sept. 9, 2002. I spent a lot of time in Double Springs Community as a child and this Church and Cemetery was called Chestnut Log, but sometimes in the late 70ties people started calling it Double Springs Baptist Church. The Church has changed from when I was a child, from a white frame building to a large brick structure. Transcribed by Mona Tomlinson. All Rights Reserved. ........

Notes for CHARLES HASTING PINNIX: Double Springs Baptist Cemetery This cemetery is located on The Maben Sturgis Road about 10 miles north of Sturgis or about 5 1/2 miles south of Maben. The Cemetery is located beside the Church. Last visited Sept. 9, 2002. I spent a lot of time in Double Springs Community as a child and this Church and Cemetery was called Chestnut Log, but sometimes in the late 70ties people started calling it Double Springs Baptist Church. The Church has changed from when I was a child, from a white frame building to a large brick structure. Transcribed by Mona Tomlinson. All Rights Reserved. ........

The following year he returned, bringing with him the first group of SCOTCH-IRISH settlers. These included members of the CRAIG, KIRKLAND and FREELAND families. These families originally met for worship at a BRUSH ARBOR south of MEBANE, but by 1755 they had constructed a wooden church. Hawfields Presbyterian Church (the present structure of which dates to 1852) thus became the first Presbyterian Church in the county. It was soon followed by CROSS ROADS Presbyterian Church, located in northern Alamance County and organized in 1783. Cross Roads Church is known as the birthplace of the "GREAT AWAKENING," an evangelical movement which swept the South in the early 1800s. Located on a portion of the old MURRAY PLANTATION, the church received national recognition in 1975 because of its association with ALEX HALEY's ROOTS sage." ____ Name: Albert A.
