The Tragedy in Henry County Virginia The usually quiet and law abiding people of the county of Henry have been intensley excited for the past three or four days in consequence of a terrible tragedy - or rather triple tragedy - that was enacted in their midst on Saturday last. The particulars reached us last evening through a source entirely reliable. the details, although not as full as we shall doubtless be enabled to give at an early day, are sufficient to cause a thrill of horror at their mere recital. It appears, according to the version given us, that some years since, a granddaughter of the venerable and talented Vincent Witcher, Esq., of Pittsylvania County, married a gentlemen from the adjoining county of Henry, whose name was Clemmens. His Christian name we have been unable to ascertain. The maiden name of Mr. Witcher's grandaughter was (Victoria C.) Smith. The parties lived happily together until about eighteen months since, when upon the most unfounded suspicions, as we have been informed, Mr. Clemmons desired a separation from his wife, and immediately instituted proceedings for divorce, at the same time impeaching her honor as the grounds for his course. (Comment: She had a baby girl in c. 1858) Last Saturday was set apart for the taking of depositions, and the parties met at a magisterial precinct in Henry county (Dickensons Store). Mr. Witcher appeared to defend the suit and protect the honor of his granddaughter. The taking of the depositions progressed, and after the plaintiff had finished with a witness, Mr. Witcher asked a question, which greatly exasperated the husband, Mr. (James Reid Clement) Clemmens. He immediately rose, drawing a pistol at the same time, and fired at Mr. Witcher. Mr. Witcher, it seems, also rose and drew a pistol from his pocket and as the ball of his antagonist grazed around the abdomen, he fired, striking Clemmens in the forehead and killing him instantly. A nephew of Mr. Witcher (Samuel Swanson), and a Mr. Smith (John Anthony Smith), brother of Mrs. Clemmens hearing the firing rushed into the room. A brother of Mr. Clemmens (Charles Johnson Clement), who had also been attracted by the pistol reports, fired at a nephew (Samuel Swanson) of Mr. Witcher, the ball taking effect and producing, it is feared, a fatal wound. Upon seeing his nephew shot, Mr. Vincent Witcher again fired, striking Clemmens No. 2, and killing him instantly. At this stage of the sanguinary affair, Mr. Smith, a brother of Mrs. Clemmens drew a Bowie knife, but had scarcely unsheathed the blade when he was fired upon by a second brother of Clemmens (Ralph Alexander Clement), the ball taking effect in the shoulder and producing a painful wound. Infuriated by his wound, Mr. Smith rushed upon his antagonist, and with one powerful thrust of the knife completely disemboweled Clemmens No. 3, the unfortunate man falling dead on the spot. Three of the parties dead, and the other three all wounded, the horrible tragedy here ended. Vincent Witcher, Esq., the chief actor in this truly terrible affair, is widely known throughout Virginia. He served for many years in the lower House of Legislature, and subsequently represented his district in the State Senate with signal ability. He is a prominent member of the Whig Party, and his name has been repeatedly mentioned in connexion with the office of Governor of the Commonwealth. He succeeded Whitnall F. Tunstall, upon the death of that gentleman, as President of the Richmond and Danville Railroad. After two years service he resigned the presidency of the railroad, and has since been engaged in the practice of his profession - that of a lawyer. Our informant states that throughout this painful suit, which Mr. Witcher believes to have been instituted against an innocent granddaughter, he has acted with great forebearance, and the part he has been compelled finally to act will be none a source of deeper regret than himself. Of course the whole matter will undergo a judicial investigation, until which we forebear further comment. The Lynchburg "Republican" of Wednesday says that Mr. Vincent Witcher and his grandson (John Anthony Smith) surrendered themselves to the authorities and were promptly acquitted, on the grounds of self-defense. -The Lorain Eagle March 15 1860 Vincent Witcher, Esq., Committed - Bail Refused - It is stated that the examination of Vincent Witcher, Esq., for the killing of the three brothers, James, Ralph and Johnson Clement, at Dickenson's store, Franklin County, on Saturday, the 25th of February, has resulted in his committal to jail for trial. Bail was asked, but refused. Mr. John Anthony Smith, a grandson, and Mr. (William)Addison Witcher, son of Mr. Vincent Witcher, who were likewise implicated, have been sent on for trial before an Examinig Court, which is to be held on Monday next, the 26th instant. - The North Carolina Standard; Wednesday, March 21, 1860 Acquittal of Capt. Vincent Wicher, et al. March 28, 1860 Raleigh Standard 28 March 1860 March 28, 1860 ACQUITTAL OF CAPTAIN VINCENT WICHER AND OTHERS LYNCHBURG, VA. -- March 25 -- CAPT. VINCENT WICHER, ADDISON WITCHER, J. A. SMITH and SAM'L SWANSON, tried for killing the MESSRS. CLEMENTS in Franklin County, Va., were acquitted on Friday evening last. THE WITCHER-CLEMENT SCANDAL The year 1860 was eventful for the little world in which Franklin County citizens lived and moved. A single local occurrence supplied Franklinites with a matter for speculation and conversation far into the 20th century. The occurrence was the killing of the three Clement brothers---James, William and Ralph---by Captain Vincent Witcher, John A. Smith, Vincent Oliver Smith, Samuel Swanson and Addison Witcher. Addison Witcher was the son of Vincent Witcher. John and Vincent Oliver Smith were his grandsons. Samuel Swanson was his son-in-law. The affray had its beginning in the marriage of James Clement and Victoria Smith, which was celebrated on March 13, 1858. The groom was one of the ten children of Dr. George W. Clement. Dr. Clement (b. 1786, m. 1811, d. 186?) was educated in Hampden-Sidney College and in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. His mother, Stella Smith, was the daughter of Major John Smith of Lewis Island. Their Franklin County home was called "Mountain View." Victoria Smith (b.1837) was the daughter of Albert G. Smith and a granddaughter of Captain Vincent Witcher. Both Clement and Smith families appeared to be pleased with the marriage, though it was brought out in the court proceedings following the killings, that the Smith family regarded the Clement family as of inferior social station. Dr. Clement was especially proud of the beauty, wit and vivacity of his daughter-in-law. Her magnetic personality gained her many admirers. It is said that two of her old sweethearts, William P. Gilbert and Samuel D. Berger, continued their attentions even after her marriage. Though these affairs were shown to be of an innocent nature, the extremely jealous disposition of her husband led him to charge her with unfaithfulness and to humiliate her constantly. Fearing physical violence, Victoria Smith Clement fled from her husband on the might of August 24, 1859, and found refuge in the home of Sherwood Y. Shelton who lived about a mile distant. She left behind her six months old baby (Lelia Maud, b. March 1, 1859) so great was her terror at the moment of flight. This incident was made the basis of a divorce suit. Within three weeks from her flight, the taking of depositions was begun at Dickinson's Store, the same to be read as evidence in the suit then pending between John A. Smith, next friend of Victoria Smith Clement, plaintiff, against James R. Clement, defendant. The taking of depositions continued through the fall and winter, until Saturday, February 25, 1860, when the killing of the Clement brothers ended the suit. The depositions of S.Y. Shelton, Charles Powell, Willis Woody, G.T. Berger, W.P. Gilbert, George Samson and Edney Shelton had been taken. Elizabeth W. Bennett had been called to make her statement. Captain Vincent Witcher objected to having her qualify and make part of her statement on Saturday "and then being left in the hands of the opposite party to be picked until Monday morning." Captain Witcher made the statement that Miss Bennett had been brought into the case by the Clements and was said to be under their control. Ralph Clement at this point said that "Whoever said that told a damned lie." Whereupon Captain Witcher replied "You had better make your remarks more direct," rose from his chair, put his hand in his bosom, drew therefrom a "five shooter," stepped toward Ralph Clement and began firing. Addison Witcher was conducting the examination for the plaintiff. Robert Mitchell was the justice of the peace before whom the depositions were being taken. His testimony in the trial of Captain Witcher, as recorded in the volume of depositions published by Dr. C.W. Clement, Sr., in June 1860, is not very impressive. He appears to have forgotten everything that transpired in his courtroom. The bodies of the three brothers were not only riddled with bullets, but were horribly gashed with knives. William Clement was disemboweled. James Clement had his throat slit from ear to ear. Ralph Clement lived nearly three hours despite his frightful wounds, and made a dying declaration before Justice Mitchell and Gresham Choice which was written down by Mr. Choice. It read as follows: "I never attempted to draw an arm. Addison Witcher caught me and held me around the waist and arms and told them to come and shoot me---a damned rascal. I was shot several times while in that fix, and he held me until I fell. Numbers of pistols were fired at me then." To this dying declaration, Magistrate Mitchell added these words: "Ralph A. Clement requested me to tell his father that he wanted him to make the deed to his wife and child according to his will." Robert N. Powell stated in his deposition that Addison Witcher held Ralph Clement while Vincent Oliver Smith shot him. George Finney stated in his deposition that John Anthony Smith shot and stabbed James Clement. It was stated by several deponents that both James and William Clement were reclining on a bed in the counting room when the firing began. It was thought by a few that some of the early firing came from the bed. The pistols of both James and William Clement had been fired until empty, but Ralph Clement, it was testified had not drawn gun or dirk. The bodies of the three slain brothers were carried from Washington Dickinson's counting room, in a farm wagon, and buried in a single grave near the shaded driveway which led up to the old brick house which was their boyhood home. The trial of Captain Vincent Witcher and his accomplices was begun almost immediately in general justices' court commonly called magistrates' court. Benjamin F. Cooper and Richard Parker took the depositions of the following: Jacob C. Mackenheimer, Gresham Choice, James Kemp, John C. Hutcherson, James M. Hutcherson, Madison D. Carter, Cluffee M. Brooks, George W. Finney, R.N. Powell, John B. Law, James M. Givson, Silas W. Evans, William C. Poindexter, Gilly Ann Huffman, John C. Law, William H. Hutcherson and Alfred L.H. Muse. Names appearing in the 200 page printed volume of depositions are: Abram Hancock, Tom Keen, Samuel D. Berger, James Rice, Shack Law, Waller Wright, Silas Dudley, Samuel G. Martox, Snead Adams, D.W. Blunt, Henry C. Mease, Mastin Williams, and John Baker, the last named being referred to as "an Englishman." The defendants claimed self-defense as justification for their killings and the charges against them were dismissed. In June 1860, the depositions, which were being taken when the killings occurred, were published in book form. After many years of searching, 1 found a copy and have had the same before me in writing this story. Dr. G.W. Clement, Sr., states in his foreword "To the Public" that "There were five justices on the bench of the Examining Court. Three of whom were in favour of discharging the accused, and two for sending them on to further trial." The courts record of the ease shows the close of the case in the following words: "At a court continued and held for Franklin County at the Court House on the 23rd day of March 1860, for the examination of Vincent Witcher, John A. Smith, Vincent 0. Smith, Samuel Swanson and Addison Witcher charged with the felonies aforesaid by them committed in this, that they did on the 25th day of February 1860, in the Counting Boom of Dickinson's Store in said county willfully, deliberately and with premeditation murder and kill Ralph A. Clement, James R. Clement and William C. Clement. "Present: Richard M. Taliaferro, Robert Bush, Noses C. Greer, Jonathan H. McNeil and Isaac Cannady, General Justices. "The said Vincent Witcher, John A. Smith, Vincent 0. Smith, Samuel Swanson and Addison Witcher were again led to the bar in custody of the jailer of this court. And the court having examined divers witnesses as well on behalf of the Commonwealth as of prisoners at the bar, who were heard in their defense by Counsel, is of the opinion that there is not probable cause for charging the said prisoners with the offense aforesaid and doth order that they be acquitted and go thereof without day." For a half century, the acquittal of these men was pointed to by Franklin County citizens as an illustration of how extreme may be the miscarriage of justice. The Masonic fraternity in which membership was held by both the killers and the killed, did not treat the matter so lightly. After the court had, on the 23rd of March, acquitted the five men of the killings committed less than a month before, Thomas S. Muse and John P, Lowell, members of the Masonic Lodge which bore the name of Vincent Witcher, chief actor in the killings, wrote of the "unfortunate death of Brothers R.A, and James R. Clement who cane to their death by the instrumentality of their brother in Masonry Vincent Witcher," and asked "that a committee of brethren be appointed whose duty it shall he to procure the evidence and make a report therefrom at our next regular communication." The reason given for "a thorough Masonic investigation," after the civil court had acquitted the killers, was stated in the following language: "The laws of a State are not the laws to try Brethren by who have offended against the Constitution and By laws of Masonry, that Civil law and Masonic law are as separate as Church and State." The Muse-Lowell document then asks, "Would the Civil law punish a Brother for violating the secrets and mysteries of Masonry or its Constitution?" Vincent Witcher Lodge No. 87 was chartered December 15, 1852, and had 39 members in 1860. The report of this lodge to the Grand Lodge for the year 1860 shows the deaths of R.A. and James R. Clement. The membership of the lodge down to 1860 includes the name of Vincent Walker. The secretary of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, James N. Hillman, in a letter to the author writes, "I find no reference to him (Vincent Witcher) subsequent to 1860 in the list of expulsions, suspensions or membership. Evidently, something happened to him, but it is not reported in the minutes from that lodge." There were no returns from Vincent Witcher Lodge, No. 87, to the Grand Lodge, according to the minutes of 1860 to 1866. These were war years, however, and that fact, rather than the fratricidal strife, may be the explanation of the interruption of the lodge's activity. Vincent Witcher Lodge No. 87 lost its charter in 1885 for mot having made a report in three years and in 1886 is marked extinct. The number it bore is now borne by Naomi Lodge in Norfolk, but the name of Vincent Witcher, who shed the blood of his brother Masons, has not been perpetuated by Masonry. | Clement, James Reid (I14380)

Victoria Smith, wife of Samuel Southard Berger; Daughter of Albert and Mary Ann Witcher Smith; widow of James Reid Clement who was killed in the Witcher-Clement feud on February 26, 1860, Dickenson Store, Henry County, Virginia, by Victoria's grandfather Captain Vincent Witcher.

D. W. Quarles Jas. C. Anderson Jacob Anderson Thomas Callaway At a Court held for Campbell County February 13th 1826 the foregoing Allotment of Estate of Burwell Lee deceased was produced in Court and ordered to be recorded. Teste: John Alexander, Clerk Campbell County Will Book 5, page 256 BIOGRAPHY Burwell Lee, Sr. And His Descendants Written by Molly Shumate (OurFamilyHistory@hotmail.com) MAJOR BURWELL LEE, SR. Eldest son of John Lee and Susannah Guthrey 1766-1825 John Lee, Sr., son of Charles Lee and Ann Dabbs of Cumberland Co., VA, removed from Cumberland Co., VA, to Campbell Co., VA, and, among other interests, founded the Town of Leesville, VA. John married 1) Susannah, surname believed to be Guthrey because all records point that direction but no record of his marriage has been found. He married 2)Frances, surname believed to be Early. Again, no record of this marriage has been found either and no definitive proof that Guthrey and Early were indeed surnames of John's wives. John left the most of his estate to his eldest son, Maj. Burwell Lee, Sr. In John's LWT, he says " I give to son Burwell Lee the land and plantation whereon I now live lying and being in the County of Campbell and lying on the north side of Goose Creek and Staunton River it being part of the tract of land I purchased from Jacobus Early with the following exceptions to wit that part called Darby's field lying in the north side of Goose Creek at Darby's Ford and adjoining the lands of Jesse Leftwich and others and one hundred and twenty eight acres taken off said tract for the town of Leesville at the junction of Goose Creek and Staunton River which leave a balance of two hundred and forty six acres, I also give my son Burwell Lee the tract of land I purchased of Robert Owen adjoining the land I now live on and above named lying on the east side of the same containing one hundred and thirty five and a half acres and deeded to me by said Owen, also two negro men named Daniel and Garnett with other necessaries I have heretofore given towards housekeeping upon his complying with some other items hereafter named . . ." John also says in his LWT "I further desire and direct in consequence of my giving to my son Burwell Lee the negro man Daniel that he may be with his wife and children that my said son Burwell Lee pay four hundred dollars towards raising the twelve hundred dollars for my daughter Sophia." Although slavery was wrong, the Lee family did try to keep the slave families together. He also gives " to my son Burwell Lee all the town of Leesville on the west side of the Third Broad Street from Goose Creek to him and his heirs forever, excepting the land adjoining the mill seat half of which 2 acres with mill seat, I reserve for my estate and allotted for common mill. . . I appoint my son Burwell Lee and my son-in-law Robt Clark and my son-in-law James Lancaster and my son- in-law John Arnold, executors . . . . s/John Lee" According to land records, Major Burwell, Sr., owned, at one time, almost 1000 acres in Bedford and Campbell Counties, VA. I do not know exactly how many slaves he owned at one time but the division of his estate show he owned 18 at that time. Burwell Lee, Sr. married Rebecca Nancy (Ann) Arnold daughter of Moses and Elizabeth Arnold of Cumberland Co., VA. Burwell Lee served in the War of 1812. His obituaries give small detail about his life. Nancy (Ann) Arnold, wife of Major Burwell Lee, Sr. was great- granddaughter of William and Elizabeth Arnold of Cumberland Co., VA, and I would like to include some background regarding her ancestry which is included in the Addenda of this biography. Major Burwell Lee, Sr., and Nancy (Ann) Arnold had the following children: 1. Captain Burwell Lee, Jr. m. 1)Matilda Arnold 2)Elizabeth Purcell 3)Mildred Dillard Doyle 2. Susannah G. Lee m. Beverly Arnold and remained in Campbell Co., VA. 3. Ann Lee married John Anderson - no further information 4. Permelia G. Lee did not marry. She died in Pittsylvania Co., VA. 5. Tabitha Lee did not marry. She died in Pittsylvania Co., VA. 6. Jane Lee married Caleb Witt and they are show on the 1840 Randolph Co., MO census. 7. Martha Lee married James Anthony - She may be the Martha, widow on the Patrick Co. census. 8. William A. Lee married Mildred Brooks and moved to Amherst Co., VA, about 1860. 9. Doshia A. Lee married Isaac Wilson and they are shown on the 1850 Morgan Co., KY, census. Cumberland Co. Order Book 1788-1792, page 95, dated 25 May 1789, shows Burwell Lee was an Ensign in Captain Cocke's Light Co. Also, "A Guide to Virginia Militia Units in the War of 1812" by Stuart Lee Butler, shows Brigade 12, Division 1, Campbell Co., 53rd and 117th Regiments - Lt. Col. Thomas W. Cocke - July 20, 1803; Lt.

| 5216 | Name: Henry (William Henry) "Red" GAY , Sr. Birth: ABT 1758 in Augusta County, Virginia Death: 1830 in Gays Creek, Buckhorn, Perry County, Kentucky Burial: Henry Gay Cemetery, Mouth of Gays Creek, Perry County, Kentucky Henry Gay was a first cousin of Rev. Jesse Bolling, who at that time was one of the most prominent Baptist preachers in Eastern Kentucky. Henry Gay B. 1750 d. 1830 served as a Revolutionary War Soldier. At the Battle of Yorktown, October 29, 1781, he was a bodyguard to General George Washington. he came from Greene County, Virginia to Cutshin, leaving eight children from a former marriage. In 1796 he married Margaret Russell. In "Rugged Trail to Appalachia" by Mary Brewer it is written that Margaret Russell was a concert pianist from Tennessee. Mrs. Brewer, also, states, "In 1797 W Henery built a sturdy log home at what was first known as Corner Shoal, so called because the creek which emptied into the river there, made a kind of corner at the shoals. It later came to be known as Shoal, where the Buckhorn Lodge is located today". In the "John Jay Dickey Diary" page 2211, T.M. Gay was interviewed at Hyde n, Kentucky. March 29, 1898. he stated: "I'm the son of Nelson Gay, a son of Henry Gay. He is 82. He was born in Perry County. His father, mentioned above, Henry Gay was, in turn, a son of a Henry Gay. He came from Ireland, he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; he enlisted soon after he came over. THIS WILLIAM GAY MAY NOT BE THE FATHER OF HENRY GAY OF KENTUCKY In 1613 Derry, a city in Northern Ireland, was selected by the British f or Colonization, and was renamed Londonderry. The citizens of Derry we re not in favor of the move, and from 1641 to 1689 there followed one upr ising after another. DR. WILLIAM GAY, who had been involved in the uprisi ngs in 1670, left England about this time and came to America. He settl ed in Williamsburg, Virginia, where he is said to have married the grandda ughter of Pocahontas and John Rolfe. He set up an apothecary shop in Henr ico County, Virginia, where a son, HENRY, was born. Henery's son, W. HEN RY (1750-1830), was a bodyguard to GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON at the Batt le of Yorktown on October 29, 1781. W. HENRY lived at Greenbriar, Virginia, where he raised a family of ten sons. In 1796, after he lost his first wife, he met and married MARGARET RUSSELL, a concert pianist from Tennessee. Accompanied by three men named Carnage, Wright and Sweeden, W. HENERY and MARGARET left Virginia for Kentucky. Crossing the southern boundary of what is West Virginia today, they entered Kentucky, came into the Big Leatherwood area, down Cutshin to Asa's Branch into Wilder and on to Grassy Branch. These creeks and branches, all in Leslie county were unnamed at that time, and were later identified by names given to them by W. HENRY GAY. After W. HENRY reached Grassy Branch he went up another small stream, which he called Rush Creek, and found an old Indian trail that led to a large overhanging cliff. There under that cliff W. HENRY and Margaret lived their first year in Kentucky and it was where, in the winter of 1796, their first son, HENRY III (known as CLIFF HENRY), was born. In 1797 W. HENRY built a sturdy log home at what was first known as Corner Shoal, so called because the creek which emptied into the river there, made a kind of corner at the shoals. It later came to be known as Shoal, where the Buckhorn Lodge is located today. Around 1800 this home was sold to MR. CARNAGE, who in turn sold it to WILLIAM BOWLING, known as BLUE HEAD BILLY BOWLING. One day, while MR. CARNAGE lived there, he came home from hunting and found that one of his small children had been killed by a bear. He buried the child on the farm and stuck a maple switch in the grave. The switch took root and grew into a large tree which later became hollow. ALLEN GAY, age 85 in 1977, said he had looked into the hollow tree and seen the ch ild's grave. Both MR CARNAGE and his wife are buried near the Buckhorn Lodge. Their graves were supposed to have been moved when the BuckhornDam was uilt, but those who know the location of the graves refused to tell where they were, and the graves are still there. MR. SWEEDEN was killed in 1789 when cutting a bee tree. MR WRIGHT moved on to some other locality. W. HENRY, whose name appears as HENRY GUYE on the tax records, was the first of the GAY family to pay taxes in Perry County in 1821 or 1822. CALE GAY, a Great Great Grandson, said he saw the record. While the family lived at GAY'S CREEK, W. HENRY had to be away from home a lot hunting, trading or other business, and MARGARET kept the home and garden. One night, a bear destroyed the garden and MARGARET devised a plan to kill it. She filled several containers with brandy, and placed them in the garden hoping the bear would return. That night it did return, and next morning MARGARET went out to find it thoroughly drunk, lying on its back, peacefully flapping its paws in the air. The grandchildren said, "That was the easiest shot Grandma ever had!" W. HENRY and MARGARET had eleven children, all boys. One of their sons, EDWARD J., became a Congressman, and EDWARD J'S grandson was a Senator from Louisiana in 1918. Sons JOHN and JIM went to Fayette Counth. JIM'S son, JOHN L. GAY, became a banker and was Mayor of Berea, Kentucky, for the longest term served by any Mayor in America. ALLEN called him a versatile and energetic man, having suffered a broken arm at the age of 94 while building a garage. NELSON GAY, who was W. HENRY'S twenty-first son and youngest of his and MARGARET'S sons, was married three times, first to HANNAH BARGER, daughter of ABRAHAM BARGER. Their children, all sons too, were: THOMAS GAY, father of LIGE (ELIJAH), Born 1895, and CALE GAY, born 1910,: BILL GAY, father of ALLEN GAY, born 1892,: JOHN GAY; ABRAHAM GAY; LIGE GAY; HENRY GAY; and JESS GAY. NELSON'S second wife was CHARITY BOWLING. They had three children. His third wife was Polly Huff, no children. ALLEN worked at that job for many years while his wife, MARY BELL, taught school in Leslie County. ALLEN'S son, GREELEY, and wife, GLADYS, also lived in Leslie County for many years. GLADYS worked at Frontier Nursing Service until 1948. Today ALLEN and GREELEY live in Indiana. CALE lives in Perry County and LIGE is the only one left in Leslie County. LIGE is an active member of Senior Citizens Club, having served as President of the club for the past year. Before retirement he taught 40 years in the Leslie County School System. He is probably one of few old timers left who still dig ginseng. Although it is $64. a pound, he digs it mostly for the exercise and enjoyment he gets from tramping the woods. He says he digs it only in the fall, when the berries are ripe on the plants, so he can replant them. EVERY YEAR THE GAY FAMILIES HAVE A REUNION WITH DEDICATION CEREMONIES TO " OLD RED" HENRY AND HIS EXPLOITS. ON JUNE 27, 1976, THE REUNION WAS HE LD AT LEVI JACKSON STATE PARK, WHERE THE FOLLOWING DEDICATION WAS READ: " HENRY GAY, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS MINUT EMEN HELPED BUILD AND MAINTAIN THIS LAND OF THE FREE, INSURING PEACE AND T RANQUILITY WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

| 5220 | Name: King Henry II Born: March 5, 1133 at Le Mans, France Parents: Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, and Empress Matilda Relation to Elizabeth II: 22nd great-grandfather House of: Angevin Ascended to the throne: October 25, 1154 aged 21 years Crowned: December 19, 1154 at Westminster Abbey Married: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitaine Children: Five sons including Richard I and John, three daughters and several illegitimate children Died: July 6, 1189 at Chinon Castle, Anjou, aged 56 years, 4 months, and 1 day Buried at: Fontevraud, France Reigned for: 34 years, 8 months, and 11 days Succeeded by: his son Richard King of England 1154-89. The son of Matilda and Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou, he succeeded King Stephen (c. 1097-1154). He curbed the power of the barons, but his attempt to bring the church courts under control was abandoned after the murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. The English conquest of Ireland began during Henry's reign. On several occasions his sons rebelled, notably 1173-74. Henry was succeeded by his son Richard (I) the Lionheart. Henry was lord of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, and Count of Anjou, Brittany, Poitou, Normandy, Maine, and Gascony. He claimed Aquitaine through marriage to the heiress Eleanor in 1152. Henry's many French possessions caused him to live for more than half his reign outside England. This made it essential for him to establish a judicial and administrative system which would work during his absence. His chancellor and friend, Becket, was persuaded to become archbishop of Canterbury in 1162 in the hope that he would help the king curb the power of the ecclesiastical courts. However, once consecrated, Becket felt bound to defend church privileges, and he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral 1170 by four knights of the king's household. In 1171 Henry invaded Ireland and received homage from the King of Leinster. In 1174 his three sons Henry, Richard and Geoffrey led an unsuccessful rebellion against their father. Quotes: Here I am, not a traitor of the king, but a priest of God. Why do you want me?' - Thomas Becket addressing his murderers, 29 December 1170 Timeline for King Henry II Year Event 1154 Henry II accedes to the throne at the age of 21 upon the death of his second cousin, Stephen. 1154 Pope Adrian IV (born Nicholas Breakspear) becomes the first English Pope 1154-1159. 1155 Henry appoints Thomas a Becket as Chancellor of England, a post that he holds for seven years. 1155 Pope Adrian IV issues the papal bull Laudabiliter, which gives Henry dispensation to invade Ireland and bring the Irish Church under the control of the Church of Rome. 1162 On the death of Archbishop Theobald, Henry appoints Thomas a Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury in the hope that he will help introduce Church reforms. 1164 Henry introduces the Constitutions of Clarendon, which place limitations on the Church's jurisdiction over crimes committed by the clergy. The Pope refuses to approve the Constitutions, so Thomas Becket refuses to sign them. 1166 The Assize of Clarendon establishes trial by jury for the first time. 1166 Dermot McMurrough, King of Leinster in Ireland, appeals to Henry to help him oppose a confederation of other Irish kings. In response to the appeal, Henry sends a force led by Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, thereby beginning the English settlement of Ireland. 1168 English scholars expelled from Paris settle in Oxford, where they found a university.1170Pope Alexander III threatens England with an interdict and forces Henry to a formal reconciliation with Becket. However, the two of them quarrel again when Becket publishes papal letters voiding Henry's Constitutions of Clarendon. 1170 Becket is killed in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December by four of Henry's knights. 1171 Henry invades Ireland and receives homage from the King of Leinster and the other kings. Henry is accepted as Lord of Ireland. 1171 At Cashel Henry makes Irish clergy submit to the authority of Rome. 1173 Canonization of Thomas Becket. 1173 Eleanor of Aquitaine and her sons revolt unsuccessfully against her husband Henry II. 1174 Henry's sons Henry, Richard, and Geoffrey lead an unsuccessful rebellion against their father. 1176 Henry creates a framework of justice creating judges and dividing England into six counties. 1185 Lincoln cathedral is destroyed by an earthquake. 1189 Henry dies at Chinon castle, Anjou, France | Plantagenet, King of England Henry II (I22972)

Population 300, of whom two are physicians." Wednesday, February 22, 2012 The Home Place of John Read Sr The Read family home was located near the town of Jeffersonton, Virginia in northern Culpeper County. The town of Jeffersonton was described in 1835 in Martin's Gazetter of Virginia as "on the Piedmont stage route from Washington to Milledgeville, Georgia. The town is built on one street and contains 43 dwelling houses, 1 Baptist house of worship, 1 Female association for the purpose of educating young men for the ministry, 1 elementary school with 50 scholars; also 3 mercantile stores, 3 taverns, 1 tanyard, 1 hat manufactory, 3 boot and shoe factories, 1 wagon maker, carriage maker, and 3 house carpenters. Population 300, of whom two are physicians." According to Early Churches of Culpeper County, Virginia, by A.D. Thomas Jr., the Read family home in Jeffersonton hosted the Marquis de Lafayette and former President James Monroe in 1825. The book includes a description from Captain Philip Slaughter, who accompanied General Lafayette from Culpeper to Jeffersonton: At 6 o'clock A.M. Tuesday, August 23d, I had the carriage at the door, and I directed the cavalry to mount, and proceeding, we reached Jeffersonton (fifteen miles), on the Fauquier road, at 9 o'clock. The citizens of Jeffersonton, and of its vicinity, to the number of several hundred, being arranged in two ranks, General La Fayette and suite, attended by a handsome escort of cavalry, passes through them, to the portico of Mr. R. Bayse's tavern, where they were received by the committee of arrangements, and a very appropriate address was delivered to the General by Colonel Samuel A. Storrow, to which the former responded, to the heart-felt gratification of the hearers. They next repaired to Mr. John Reed's house, where a private room had been prepared for the accommodation; and after having rested a short time, they were conducted by the committee to a breakfast, which had been prepared for the occasion under a spacious and commodious arbor at the west end of Mr. Bayse's tavern. After breakfast, they were again conducted to Mr. Reed's, in whose portico, a large collection of ladies being assembled, the General and ex-President Monroe were introduced to them all individually, Colonel Daniel Ward announcing their names as they were presented. This being gone through, and the guests having taken a short respite, the gentlemen were arranged in a semi-circle, extending from Mr. Reed's portico to Mr. Bayse's tavern, and the General, passing along the line, gave each one a cordial and affectionate shake by the hand. The General then repaired to the private room, where they waited for the preparation of the escort, which being ready, the committee conducted them to their carriages. The parting ceremony between the committee and their guests being now most affectionately performed, and a considerable number of citizens on horseback attaching themselves to the rear, they all together moved off, while the remaining citizens gazed, with mingled emotions of sorrow and delight, on the carriage which bore away the friend of their liberty and the sustainer of their rights. At the Fauquier line, General Lafayette and suite were received by the marshalls, and an elegant escort of cavalry, sent from Warrenton for the purpose. My 7th-great-grandfather was John Read Sr. (1699-1765). The earliest land record I have found to date for John Read Sr. is from 7 April 1730 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia: Date 7 Apr 1730: 100 acres in St. George Parish, Spotsylvania County, in the Great Fork of the Rappahannock River.

| 5230 | Nathan Herendeen with his family moved from Washtenaw County to Hillsdale County in 1834. He settled near Litchfield and spent the remainder of his life there. County hIstories of New York mention Herendeen families first in Vermont and then moving west through several New York counties south of Lake Erie before moving to Michigan. Thomas and Mary Eddy Herendeen also settled near by. Mary died in 1842. Thomas was living with his son Nathan on the 1850 census. Thomas did not appear on the 1860 census, therefore I assume he died before 1860. The family is burried in the LitchfieldCemetery just east of Litchfield. There is a stone for Mary but none for THomas. THe cemetery is well cared for. IT is an old cemetery so many stones are broken and some are missing. Jane and I found the Herendeen farm west of Litchfield. The house is gone, but the barn remains. Construction of a new house is underway. Nathan and Hulda Dillingham are listed as the parents of Thomas. If you look at the Herendeen family sheet you will notice that three of their children died very young. I have no record of George. James died in the Civil War. | Herendeen, Nathan (I33581)
