The county seat is at Mt. Vernon. In 1813, Richland county was formed from part of Knox county; and, in 1848, part of Morrow county was formed from part of Knox county. In May, 1808, Knox county was divided into four townships (Wayne, Clinton, Morgan, and Union). Wayne township embraced all of Franklin and Chester -- and they are now in Morrow County -- and Middlebury, Berlin, Wayne and the north half of Morris. Clinton township included Bloomfield, now in Morrow county, Liberty, the north half of Pleasant, Monroe, Pike, and the south half of Morris. Union township embraced Brown, Jefferson, Union, Howard, Butler, Jackson, three-fourths of Harrison and east half of Clay. Morgan township embraced the west half of Clay, southwest quarter of Harrison, south half of Pleasant, and all of Morgan, Miller, Milford, and Hilliar In 1812, all of Knox county was considered 'Military Lands' except portions of what are now Middlebury, Berlin and Pike townships. These lands were set aside for soldiers from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812… Also note that all townships were formed (without names) by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787; subsequent changes were written in reference to the already numbered and plotted townships, rather than to the later named townships.

He was a religious zealot, yet was bloodthirsty for battle. In spite of his religious convictions, most of his battles were fought on Sunday. He was highly disciplined, yet could ignore a direct order if he disagreed -- and get away with it. He was Robert E. Lee’s most trusted lieutenant, yet he felt himself obliged to none other than himself and God. Over the years the persona of Stonewall Jackson has attained almost mythical proportions. In life, he was almost impossble to know. Book #1 - Life and Letters of Stonewall Jackson (by his widow Mary Anna), 1895, 700+ pages I. The Old English and Scotch-Irish Stock ... 1 II.

"This compendium of battle studies and reports was written by commanders of all levels: Grant, Sherman, Lee and Longstreet down to lieutenants commanding companies for points of clarification on minor skirmishes or segments of the battlefield.The accounts were set down when the war was still fresh in their memories, yet when enough time had passed for reflection. The fact that several viewpoints, some conflicting, are given for each major battle and campaign adds immeasurably to the value of this work. .. you get the immediacy and vigor of the post-war controversies and the finger-pointing --- the first early exposition of the rift between Longstreet and the Jubal Early faction for example. If you have any interest in the Civil War, and lack the time to sift through the voluminous post-war memoirs of the commanders, you'll want to keep Battles and Leaders handy."

Between 1780 and 1807, several new towns were created at the boundaries between Litchfield County and other counties in Connecticut. The town of Watertown was established in 1780 from Waterbury and was placed under Litchfield County jurisdiction. The establishment of the town of Brookfield from part of New Milford in 1788 resulted in Litchfield County losing territory to Fairfield County. In 1796, the town of Hartland was transferred to Hartford County. In 1798, the town of Oxford was established from part of Southbury causing Litchfield County to lose territory to New Haven County. The establishment of the town of Canton in 1806 from part of New Hartford caused loss of territory to Hartford County. In 1807, the town of Southbury was transferred to New Haven County. The final boundary change occurred on October 8, 1807, when the town of Middlebury was established from part of Woodbury.

Its name changed to Christian County in 1840, and was formed from Montgomery, Sangamon and Shelby Counties. Present area, or parts of it, formerly included in: Sangamon County (1821–1839), Shelby County (1827–1839), Montgomery County (1821–1839), Fayette County (1821–1827), Clark County (1819–1821), Bond County (1817–1821), Crawford County (1816–1819), Madison County (1812–1817), Edwards County (1815–1816), St. Clair County (1790–1812) and Knox, Northwest Territory (1790–1801). The County was named for Christian County in Kentucky through the influence of emigrants from that county and for Col. William Christian, a native of Augusta County, Virginia, and a veteran of the Revolutionary War, killed by Native Americans in southern Indiana in 1786. The County Seat is Taylorville (1839-Present). The current courthouse (pictured) was completed 1902, and is the third courthouse since 1839.

American Identity The Teaching Company Audio Course No. 8540 (48 lectures, 30 minutes/ lecture) Taught by Patrick N. Allitt, Emory University $89.95 + $4.95 shipping and handling (Retails for $359.95) http://cgi.ebay.com/American-Identity-Teaching-Company-CD-Course-/200469353210?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 "Professor Allitt presents several dozen brief biographies, arranged roughly chronologically and covering a remarkable spectrum of personalities, that cover the span of American history from colonial times to the present. Each of his lectures is highly informative and entertaining, and each conveys almost as much history as biography, because he always sets the stage by discussing the era during which his subjects lived. These are biographies, not hagiographies, and we learn some unflattering details, along with the virtues, of these famous (and sometimes not so famous) Americans. His style is pitch-perfect (full disclosure: I've always been a sucker for a British accent), his wry humor is endearing, and his insights are acute. I've "taken" many Teaching Company courses, This was clearly one of the very best!" What defines an American? Is it the love of liberty, the pursuit of justice, the urge to invent, the desire for wealth, the drive to explore, the quest for spiritual values? The paradox of the American identity is that although the United States is a melting pot of many different traditions, motives, and ideals, there are nevertheless distinctive qualities that define the American character. In this course, historian Patrick N. Allitt investigates the national character by introducing you to notable Americans from all eras of the nation's history, whose lives speak eloquently about the qualities that make one truly American. Focusing on various character traits and attitudes that have indelibly shaped the national psyche, Dr. Allitt takes you on a journey from the very first settlers to the present, showing how certain characteristics have been passed down through time, and also how certain traits and beliefs have changed over time. You will learn about the famous (like Thomas Jefferson), the infamous (like Al Capone), and the relatively unknown (like Emma Goldman). Each person covered in this course manifests certain characteristics that are quintessentially part of the American identity, or reveal some underlying aspect of the American identity. A Deeper Understanding of Trends and Ideas The figures in these lectures led fascinating lives. And while the course is enjoyable simply as a well-told series of biographies, it does much more, helping you gain a deeper understanding of the trends and ideas that shaped America and that continue to influence American society today. For example: • The 17th-century Puritan leader Cotton Mather is the spiritual ancestor of today's vogue for political correctness, • which Professor Allitt sees as a secular transfiguration of the Puritan belief that you can think, do, and say the right • things and gradually get rid of the wrong things. • The Civil War-era landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted combined public park construction and anti-slavery • advocacy, spurred by the conviction that each contributed to fulfilling his ideal of a society where citizens are free, • educated, genteel, and able to maintain contact with rural conditions. • The late 19th-century industrialist Andrew Carnegie helped create a pattern of philanthropy in which business leaders • who succeeded by ruthless methods sanitized their reputations by endowing universities and other institutions. "It wasn't • a trend which was taking place elsewhere in the world," says Professor Allitt. • The 20th-century columnist William F. Buckley, Jr., was among the first Americans to take pride in the conservative label, • which Americans had long resisted attaching to themselves. Buckley transformed the image and idiom of conservatism, • with consequences that persist into the 21st century. What You Will Learn Each lecture in this course takes as its subject a single individual or pair of individuals. Each person is then treated in terms of a particular activity, which is reflected in the lecture's subtitle: for example, "Frederick Douglass—The Abolitionist" or "Samuel Gompers—The Trade Unionist." The four parts of the course follow a roughly chronological pattern: Part I introduces a series of powerful figures from colonial America, who imparted their imaginativeness, forcefulness, and energy to the American tradition . Among them are the explorer and colonial founder John Smith; the religious liberty advocate, Quaker, and colonial founder William Penn; the great Puritan intellectual Cotton Mather; and the astonishing 18th-century polymath Benjamin Franklin. This part climaxes with the revolutionary generation and the men and women who had to make the difficult transition from being British subjects to being American citizens. Some among them, such as First Lady Abigail Adams, set the tone and style for a long line of successors. Part II considers influential Americans of the early 19th century, many of whom were involved in the great controversy over whether the nation would maintain or overthrow the slave system, and who collectively energized the young republic's astonishing economic growth. Two writers from this group, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott, bear witness to the maturing of a distinctive American literary and philosophical culture. Part III picks up the story after the convulsions of the Civil War, highlighting the men and women who turned America into a first-class industrial nation dedicated to sustained economic growth, and who enabled the republic to stretch, in reality rather than just aspiration, from ocean to ocean. Part IV shows how America's diversity flowered in the mid-20th century, as new waves of immigrants were assimilated and began to play a role in every facet of national life. This was also a time when America developed a global reach, personified in such international heroes as aviator Charles Lindbergh, such war leaders as General Douglas MacArthur, and such international cultural stars as Duke Ellington and Leonard Bernstein. The American Character Exemplified There are countless examples of how these individuals embody distinctly American traits. Here are some of them: • Lack of Fatalism: Louisa May Alcott volunteered as a nurse in a Civil War hospital, where she contracted typhoid fever and was crippled for life • from the mercury used to treat her. Nonetheless, she kept writing to support her family and pay off her father's debts. Her most beloved book, • Little Women, emerged from this difficult period. • Energetic Approach to Problem-solving: Benjamin Franklin was inspired by a firewood shortage in Philadelphia to invent a more efficient source • of heat: the Franklin stove. His clever marketing campaign for the invention displays another American characteristic: boundless self- confidence. • Faith in Economic Growth: Andrew Carnegie made a fortune in various industries before devoting himself full time to steel, seeing its limitless • potential. It was then that he said, "Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket!" • Dedication to Education: When Horace Mann was named secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education in 1837, he encountered a • school system in decay. By the time he left the job 12 years later, he had laid the foundation for universal compulsory schooling that • would be a model for all other states. • Devotion to Religious Liberty: The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which Thomas Jefferson drafted in 1786, was one of his proudest accomplishments, • which he classed even above his two terms as president of the United States. The statute was the foundation for the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. • Belief in Equality: When Abigail Adams asked her husband, John Adams, to "remember the ladies" as he worked to establish the new American nation, • she was speaking partly in jest. But her feminist heirs were serious. In the 20th century Betty Friedan sought to give women real equality and real • democratic access, rather than the outward legal shell of these rights Shipped media mail or First Class.

Warwick County Virginia Colonial Court Records ISBN 9780806353814 CF#9356 Mfg. sells for $49.95 +$7.50 shipping and handling $46.75 + $4.95 shipping and handling http://cgi.ebay.com/Warwick-County-Court-Records-Virginia-Genealogy-/200482155603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 ISBN: 9780806351438 Book Title: Colonial Court Records in Transcription. Third edition Author: Edited by Richard Dunn Binding: Soft Cover Copyright: 2008 Pages: 635 Size: 5.75 x 8.75 x 1.75 in. Warwick County, which merged with the city of Warwick in 1952, was one of Virginia's original shires upon its creation in 1634. (The name changed from Warwick River County to simply Warwick County in 1642-1643.) Today, it is part of Newport News, VA. The original records of Warwick County have never been transcribed-- until now. Thanks to the prodigious efforts of Mr. Richard Dunn, we are now in possession of a meticulously transcribed volume that purports to gather up the crumbling documents of colonial Warwick --some of them from the 1640--and to make them accessible to researchers for the first time. To make their transcription as comprehensive as possible, Mr. Dunn examined original records not only from institutions like the Library of Virginia, Virginia Historical Society, and Swem Library, College of William and Mary, but also from the New York Historical Society, Rosenback Museum and Library, Newport News Museum and Archives, Virginia War Museum, Huntington Library, and county archives throughout Virginia. Arranged by repository and thereunder chronologically, the entries derive mostly from court order books, record books, minutes, cattle accounts, and a variety of miscellaneous material. As is characteristic of court records in general, Warwick County's records range over a multitude of contemporary affairs, such as estate settlements, petitions, appointments of local officials, orphan and bastardy cases, licenses, payments of debts, petty criminal matters, surveys and boundary disputes, the swearing in of justices of the peace, and so on. This consolidated edition also includes previously unpublished lists of Warwick County church wardens, commissions of the peace, constables, juries, sheriffs, "surveyors," vestrymen, and other functionaries not included in previous ones. The transcriptions place upwards of 10,000 Virginia ancestors in Warwick County at a particular moment during the colonial period. Thanks to the complete name index, these heretofore inaccessible ancestors have been rescued from oblivion.

In 1769, Daniel Boone wintered in a cave on the land occupied first as Trigg's Station, later called Viney Grove. Settlers were attracted by the deep soils, excellent for crops such as tobacco, corn, grains, strawberries and hay; the fertile grasslands were excellent for raising livestock. In 1773, James Harrod built the first permanent residence on the site known as Harrodstown, then Old Town, then later called Harrodsburg. Harrodsburg began as a number of log cabins set upon 1/2 to 5 acre lots, and were distributed to a group of thirty men by lottery. Shortly after these residences were established, Indian raids permeated the area to the point that habitation was impossible, the settlers leaving town in early 1774. In March, after the Shawnee signed the Treaty of Camp Charlotte with Lord Dunmore, Harrod and his party returned to resettle. The company was able to build more cabins and make improvements. However continued Indian attacks wreaked havoc upon the residences located on the outer edges of the community. Construction of a stockade started in the fall of 1775 and was completed the next year. The fort enclosed an area of approximately an acre and a half, with a spring and stream running through for fresh water supply. In the center was a powder magazine. These Stations were centers in which families were gathered for mutual protection; the men gradually extending out their farming operations as safety allowed. New settlers who arrived in Kentucky went out from the fort at Harrodstown to build other stations.

Yohogania County was created by the new state of Virginia in 1776, in an area long disputed between Virginia and Pennsylvania. The county ceased to exist after the border dispute between the two states was resolved in the 1780s. Thus, it is sometimes referred to as a "lost county," although a million and a half people live within the territory it once claimed, which encompasses two entire counties and parts of four others in two states. The problem arose through the complex and conflicting manner of granting territory and defining boundaries during the Colonial period. The North American continent was not surveyed until long after various land grants were made to individual colonies, and such land grants and even governmental entities frequently overlapped. In 1776, shortly after the American Revolutionary War began, the Virginia General Assembly formed three new counties from the District of West Augusta, an area of Augusta County, Virginia, which encompassed much of what is now northern West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania. These were Monongalia County, Ohio County, and Yohogania County. All three included, or at least claimed, land in what is now Pennsylvania as well as in Virginia, now West Virginia. The county seat of Yohogania County was probably near the Monongahela River, across from the present borough of Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. On December 27, 1779, a resolution by the United States Congress recommended to the two now-states of Virginia and Pennsylvania that, rather than continue to quarrel with each other as well as fighting the British, they should reach an agreement on the border situation. This was done in theory by an agreement reached by commissioners from both states in Baltimore in 1779, and ratified by the legislatures of both states in 1780, "to extend the line commonly called Mason and Dixon's line five degrees of longitude from Delaware River ... and from the western termination thereof to run and mark a meridian line to the Ohio River," which was the northern boundary of Virginia's claim. That would be the boundary between the two states. This publication includes the Virginia court records for Yohogania County for its first four years before it became Pennsylvania.

Between 1780 and 1807, several new towns were created at the boundaries between Litchfield County and other counties in Connecticut. The town of Watertown was established in 1780 from Waterbury and was placed under Litchfield County jurisdiction. The establishment of the town of Brookfield from part of New Milford in 1788 resulted in Litchfield County losing territory to Fairfield County. In 1796, the town of Hartland was transferred to Hartford County. In 1798, the town of Oxford was established from part of Southbury causing Litchfield County to lose territory to New Haven County. The establishment of the town of Canton in 1806 from part of New Hartford caused loss of territory to Hartford County. In 1807, the town of Southbury was transferred to New Haven County. The final boundary change occurred on October 8, 1807, when the town of Middlebury was established from part of Woodbury.
