| 43351 | Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and the best-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee.[2] Jackson played a prominent role in nearly all military engagements in the Eastern Theater of the war until his untimely death, and played an important part in winning many significant battles. Jackson was born in what was then part of Virginia. He received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He served in the U.S. Army during the MexicanAmerican War and distinguished himself at Chapultepec. From 1851 to 1863, he taught at the Virginia Military Institute, where he was unpopular with his students. During this time, he married twice. His first wife died, but his second, Mary Anna Morrison, outlived him by many years. When Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861 after the attack on Fort Sumter, Jackson followed it and joined the Confederate Army. He distinguished himself commanding a brigade at the First Battle of Bull Run the following month, providing crucial reinforcements and beating back a fierce Union assault. It was there that Barnard Elliott Bee Jr., allegedly for Jackson's courage and tenacity, compared him to a "stone wall," which became his enduring nickname. Thomas Jonathan Jackson[5] was the great-grandson of John Jackson (1715/17191801) and Elizabeth Cummins (also known as Elizabeth Comings and Elizabeth Needles) (17231828). John Jackson was an Ulster Scots Protestant from Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland. While living in London, England, he was convicted of the capital crime of larceny for stealing £170; the judge at the Old Bailey sentenced him to seven years penal transportation. Elizabeth, a strong, blonde woman over 6 feet (180 cm) tall, born in London, was also convicted of felony larceny in an unrelated case for stealing 19 pieces of silver, jewelry, and fine lace, and received a similar sentence. They both were transported on the merchant ship Litchfield, which departed London in May 1749 with 150 convicts. John and Elizabeth met on board and were in love by the time the ship arrived at Annapolis, Maryland. Although they were sent to different locations in Maryland for their bond service, the couple married in July 1755.[6] The family migrated west across the Blue Ridge Mountains to settle near Moorefield, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1758. In 1770, they moved farther west to the Tygart Valley. They began to acquire large parcels of virgin farming land near the present-day town of Buckhannon, including 3,000 acres (12 km²) in Elizabeth's name. John and his two teenage sons, were early recruits for the American Revolutionary War, fighting in the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780; John finished the war as captain and served as a lieutenant of the Virginia militia after 1787. While the men were in the Army, Elizabeth converted their home to a haven, "Jackson's Fort," for refugees from Indian attacks.[7] John and Elizabeth had eight children. Their second son was Edward Jackson (March 1, 1759 December 25, 1828), and Edward's third son[8] was Jonathan Jackson, Thomas's father.[9] Jonathan's mother died in 1798 and his father remarried three years later. His father and stepmother had nine more children.[10] Thomas Jackson was the third child of Julia Beckwith (née Neale) Jackson (17981831) and Jonathan Jackson (17901826), an attorney. Both of Jackson's parents were natives of Virginia. The family already had two young children and were living in Clarksburg, in what is now West Virginia, when Thomas was born. He was named for his maternal grandfather. There is some dispute about the actual location of Jackson's birth. A historical marker on the floodwall in Parkersburg, West Virginia, claims that he was born in a cabin near that spot when his mother was visiting her parents who lived there. There are writings which indicate that in Jackson's early childhood, he was called "The Real Macaroni", though the origin of the nickname and whether it really existed are unclear.[11] Thomas's sister Elizabeth (age six) died of typhoid fever on March 6, 1826, with two-year-old Thomas at her bedside. His father also died of a typhoid fever on March 26. Jackson's mother gave birth to Thomas's sister Laura Ann the day after Jackson's father died.[12] Julia Jackson thus was widowed at 28 and was left with much debt and three young children (including the newborn). She sold the family's possessions to pay the debts. She declined family charity and moved into a small rented one-room house. Julia took in sewing and taught school to support herself and her three young children for about four years. In 1830, Julia Neale Jackson remarried. Her new husband, Blake Woodson,[13] an attorney, did not like his stepchildren. There were continuing financial problems. The following year, after giving birth to Thomas's half-brother Willam Wirt Woodson, Julia died of complications, leaving her three older children orphaned.[14] Julia was buried in an unmarked grave in a homemade coffin in Westlake Cemetery along the James River and Kanawha Turnpike in Fayette County within the corporate limits of present-day Ansted, West Virginia. As their mother's health continued to fail, Jackson and his sister Laura Ann were sent to live with their half-uncle, Cummins Jackson, who owned a grist mill in Jackson's Mill (near present-day Weston in Lewis County in central West Virginia). Their older brother, Warren, went to live with other relatives on his mother's side of the family, but he later died of tuberculosis in 1841 at the age of twenty. Thomas and Laura Ann returned from Jackson's Mill in November 1831 to be at their dying mother's bedside. They spent four years together at the Mill before being separatedLaura Ann was sent to live with her mother's family, Thomas to live with his Aunt Polly (his father's sister) and her husband, Isaac Brake, on a farm four miles from Clarksburg. Thomas was treated by Brake as an outsider and, having suffered verbal abuse for over a year, ran away from the family. When his cousin in Clarksburg urged him to return to Aunt Polly's, he replied, "Maybe I ought to, ma'am, but I am not going to." He walked eighteen miles through mountain wilderness to Jackson's Mill, where he was welcomed by his uncles and he remained there for the following seven years.[15] Cummins Jackson was strict with Thomas, who looked up to Cummins as a schoolteacher. Jackson helped around the farm, tending sheep with the assistance of a sheepdog, driving teams of oxen and helping harvest wheat and corn. Formal education was not easily obtained, but he attended school when and where he could. Much of Jackson's education was self-taught. He once made a deal with one of his uncle's slaves to provide him with pine knots in exchange for reading lessons; Thomas would stay up at night reading borrowed books by the light of those burning pine knots. Virginia law forbade teaching a slave, free black or mulatto to read or write; nevertheless, Jackson secretly taught the slave, as he had promised. Once literate, the young slave fled to Canada via the Underground Railroad.[16] In his later years at Jackson's Mill, Thomas served as a schoolteacher.

| 43352 | Thomas Pritchard's ancestors came from England and settled at Jamestown in about 1610. His brother, John Pritchard, saw three years of service as a soldier in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. In about 1832, Thomas Pritchard came from The Glades in Preston County and built the first mill on the South Fork of Hughes River, below Oxford, making the first settlement in that area. A certain Henry O. Middleton had given him one hundred acres of land in that wilderness as inducement to settle and to erect a saw and grist mill. | PRITCHARD, Thomas Jr. (I15786)

| 43353 | Thomas S. Morris' birthplace is given in the 1850 and 1870 Censuses as (West) Virginia, and in his death record as Harrison County. But the 1860 Census shows it as New Jersey, which is believed to be correct, since his family is known to have moved to Harrison County from New Jersey in 1818. His daughter Susan's death record states that her father was born in Trenton, New Jersey, 1850 Census, Lewis Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Sep 28 1850: Thomas Morris, 43, carpenter; Adeline, 8; Mary, 7; Rebecca, 5; Racheal, 4; Sarah J, 2; Racheal White, 63. All born in Virginia except Racheal White, born in New Jersey. | Family F8816

| 43356 | Thomas worked for Hinkle Brothers as a laborer. He also worked for JT Martin, WV Welding and Mach Fab. When Thomas was younger, he was the caregiver for the Clydesdale team horses at Nathan Goff's Farm. During his later years he also helped raise and train Paso Fino horses at the Golden Ridge Farm. Thomas was a member of Oak Mound Evangelical Church in Clarksburg. He was known as the Patch Man around Clarksburg. | SNYDER, Thomas Arthur Lee "The Patch Man" (I20157)

|
| 43361 | Though not indicated as such, it is likely that he was barbering at that location. The only reference we have found to Virgil E. Powell's occupation being other than barber was in the October 1918 obituary of John B. Underwood, which stated "Interment was at the Underwood cemetery in charge of V. E. Powell of West Union." This would indicate that he was serving in some capacity as an undertaker. | POWELL, Virgil Eldridge (I10536)

| 43387 | Tobias Saunders first appears in the records of Taunton, Mass., in 1643. He is thought to have died in 1695, as his will was proved on September 2nd of that year. Although he was a member of the first Seventh Day Baptist Church in America at Newport, his ancestor, Rev. Lawrence Saunders, was not known to have been a Sabbath-keeper, as he was one of the Christian martyrs burned to death outside the city of Coventry, England, on Sabbath Day, February 9 1555. Tobias Saunders was a soldier of the King in old England and at one time was one of the King's Life Guard. He was made a freeman in Newport in 1655, and on Sep 9 1661 received a quarter of a share in the division of the land at Misquamicut, as Westerly was then called. Almost immediately he was in the midst of trouble as he, his father-in-law, Joseph Clarke, and Robert Burdick laid claim to Southertown (Southertown included the later limits of the town of Stonington, CT, and much of Westerly, RI), which both Connecticut and Massachusetts claimed as theirs. All three were arrested Nov 1 1661 by Constable William Palmer, but Joseph Clarke was later freed. Saunders and Burdick were both placed on trial before Governor Endicott and associates on Nov 14 1661 in Boston. Their defense was that they had bought the land from the Indians by the authority of the Court of Rhode Island. Bonds were set at 100 pounds each, and in the absence of surety, they were committed to prison for trial in May 1662. At that time they were fined 40 pounds each and Rhode Island was notified to send in the fines, but they were kept in jail for two years. Connecticut was later given a new charter giving Southertown to her, and Massachusetts retired from the contest. Still later, a compromise was reached in England whereby Connecticut relinquished her claim to the disputed territory in Westerly to Rhode Island. Tobias Saunders, Robert Burdick, Joseph Clarke, and John Crandall were a few of the strong men of their day who stood steadfast, endured persecution and imprisonment not only because of the land disputes, but also for the religious freedom guaranteed to the residents of Rhode Island but not vouchsafed to the Connecticut settlers where the Puritan church was to all intents the State religion. Tobias Saunders was a deputy to the General Assembly of Rhode Island from Westerly many terms and was active in the Westerly congregation of the Newport church. Three of Tobias Saunders' daughters died of smallpox as adults. [NOTE: Source of the foregoing information is Earl P. Crandall, Hudson, NY (1937-2002) (Crandall Family Association, http://www.cfa.net/cfa-book/), citing "The First Hundred Years: Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church," Utter Co, Westerly, RI, 1940, pp 284-285.

Goodrich in Grantsville. Though most recently residing with daughter Marjorie in Vienna, she lived most of her life in the Brohard (Wirt Co) and MacFarlan (Ritchie Co) area of West Virginia. Among others, survived by four grandchildren, Jennifer Hart, Kayleigh Dye, Zachary Dye, and Whitney Dye; and by two great-grandchildren, Benjamin & Makayla Hart. | HAUGHT, Elva Lillian (I30665)

| 43389 | Together with his father and his son Carl, Doyle Duckworth began to expand his dairy operation. He cut down trees on the farm to make lumber. With this he engineered and built his own home, and most of the buildings on the farm. They started with 12 cattle and eventually reached more than 350 head. Doyle and his son believed that education and technology would be the key to success. They were charter members of the Central Ohio Breeders Association, the Marietta Milk Producers, and Milk Marketing Incorporated. Mr. Doyle was the primary organizer of the Southeastern Ohio District Council of Cooperatives, and the Wolf Run Conservation District. He served for many years on the Landmark Board of Advisors and the Washington County Farm Bureau. The farm has been recognized for many years on the soil conservation tour, and has won numerous awards for outstanding corn silage, and corn production. Doyle and his son, Carl, were close advisors to Mr. Ralph Sawyer and, later, Roger Smith, in the Marietta High School FFA programs. They volunteered the farm for educational purposes on an annual basis. Duckworth Farms became the third dairy farm in the United States to purchase and use a computerized feeding system to feed and track daily milk production of every cow. With this advancement and by proper breeding, the farm was able to produce more than three million pounds of milk annually. The farm furnished three breeding bulls to the Central Ohio Breeders Association to help improve other farms in the state. In 1989, Duckworth Farms was the winner of the Marietta Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Award. Doyle and his son Carl had a deep belief in agriculture and education. The family has a scholarship fund that was established after the death of Carl in 2001. This fund assists students studying agriculture and is also for educational instruction to local FFA groups in the county. Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to Duckworth Farms Scholarship Fund at Marietta Savings Bank, Attention Cathy Moody, P.O. Box 837, Marietta, Ohio 45750. | DUCKWORTH, Doyle Deleth (I128117)

| 43395 | Tradition says that Thomas Lowther, son of Col. William Lowther, "was a snake-charmer, that he could wield such power over a poisonous reptile as to be able to handle it without harm to himself." He is said to have died in middle age of appendicitis, having undergone surgery without an anesthetic. There is disagreement among researchers regarding the children of Thomas Lowther and Mary Coburn; some (e.g., Minnie Kendall Lowther) include Robert and Mary "Polly," while others (e.g., Linder and Donnelly) state that there is no proof for that. Don Norman lists Elias, Jesse, William, Mary and Margaret as the five children of Thomas and Mary Coburn, then shows a second marriage to Catherine Switzer producing seven children, Sarah "Sally," Phoebe, Elizabeth, Thomas, Polly, Robert and another Elizabeth. Researcher Jane Lowther Bolster, p. 23, states only that Thomas and Mary were the parents of five children, but does not name them. The will of Thomas Lowther (Harrison County Will Book, Vol 2, p. 178), was written on May 19 1816. "The will lists five children of Thomas Lowther: Jesse, Eliza, Peggy, William and Nancy. A daughter named Mary was not mentioned. (According to the Census of 1810, by enumeration Thomas Lowther appeared to have had as many as nine children, four of them girls.) The will then lists six additional children of Catherine Switzer: Polly, Thomas, Sally, Robert, Pheby and Elizabeth. The will does not state that Thomas Lowther was married (second) to Catherine Switzer nor state that the second list of children were those of Thomas Lowther by marriage or adoption." [Donnelly, p. 50] The will named Thomas' friends Robert Lowther and Elias Lowther the executors of his estate, and it was signed in the presence of Marshall Rees, William Lowther and Elias R. Lowther. Thomas Louther in the 1810 United States Federal Census Name: Thomas Louther Home in 1810 : Harrison County, Virginia (Based on neighbors known to have lived there, this was most likely in West Milford) Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 15: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44 : 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 Number of Household Members Under 16: 7 Number of Household Members Over 25: 2 Number of Household Members: 11 In the 1820 Census of Harrison County, Cahorin (sic) Lowther is listed as head of household on the same page as Wm Lowther, Wm Lowther, Jesse Lowther, Elias Lowther and Robt Lowther. These were all names mentioned in Thomas Lowther's will. Her household was as follows: Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820 Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 18: 1 Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 1 Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over : 1 Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture: 2 Free White Persons - Under 16: 6 Free White Persons - Over 25: 1 Total Free White Persons: 8 Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other: 8 There is also speculation that Catherine Switzer was actually Thomas Lowther's oldest child, but no marriage record has been found in Harrison or Lewis counties of a Catherine Lowther to a Switzer, including name variations. Doddridge County death records show a Robert Lowther, son of Thomas & Catharine, who died on Apr 13 1867. This is the Robert Lowther, born ca 1810, who married Mary Ann Spurgeon and whose household included in both the 1850 and 1860 Censuses a Catherine Lowther, born ca 1781, relationship not indicated. This may also be the Robert Lowther in question here as the son of Thomas Lowther. No death record for this Catherine Lowther has been found. Despite the lack of evidence described in Linder's and Donnelly's excellent research, we include Robert and Mary "Polly" Lowther among Thomas Lowther's children with Mary Coburn, principally because Minnie Kendall Lowther saw fit to include them. | LOWTHER, Thomas (I25624)

| 43396 | Transcipt of findings of autopsy on Robert Gibson: 15th April 1866 Having first made a minute examination of the body of Robert Gibson, pressing my fingers over every part externally and discovering no mark of violence, I then examined a portion of the ribs and sternum. And seeing great engorgement of the lungs, particularly the right, also engorgement of the large vessels, and the corresponding engorgement of the right heart and of the head with Pieridity of the features, also the diminished size of the left heart, I have come to the conclusion that the man came to his death by asphyxia from drowning. S. A. Walker 16th April 1866 Having heard evidence to the effect that the man Gibson had been struck on the head, I suggested the body should be exhumed for further examination. On taking off the hair, I discovered a wound on the scalp over the frontal bone from which there was an elevation of the integument [tough outer protective layer] to the extent of from 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and which might have been caused by a stroke with some blunt instrument, not finding any other sign of violence externally. I then removed the scalp between the integument and the base of the right parietal bone. I discovered a patch of coagulated blood and area of the same size (?___? an inch and a half in diameter) over the occiput [back of the head or skull]. These might have been produced by blows from some flat instrument or by falls. With a view to ascertain if these injuries were communicated to the internal structures, I then removed the cranium by a line of incision running each way from the frontal sinuse to the Torcular Herophili [confluence of sinuses] horizontally and did not find any trace of such communication. No extravasation [leakage of a fluid out of its container into the surrounding area], disorganized lymph spiculae or fracture. From these observations I concluded that death did not occur from those injuries. I then exhibited the heart, still somewhat rotund on the right half, but entirely collapsed on the left, as I had felt at the pericardium [membrane enclosing the heart] the day before. From the above observations, my opinion before expressed is strengthened. Stunned by the blows he may have staggered into the water or was thrust therein and there died! In either case, his death appears to have resulted from criminal violence. S. A. Walker | WALKER, Samuel A. (I113064)
