We have established a close connection between our McCLAINs and the DAMRONs. Both families seem to be from NC via Ky and Tn and were early settlers in Gallatin Co, IL. Both families moved to Weakley Co, TN about 1823. Charles DAMRON was the executor of Charles McCLAIN's estate in 1846. There are several marriages to McCLAIN women noted in the DAMRON books. We just can't sort out which McCLAIN families they came from. If we can make these connections we can extend you our McCLAIN line back to 1711 in MD. Can you help us? Thank you. pj Thompson [email protected] Weakley County, Tn & Garry Brown [email protected] Albuquerque, NM McCLAIN cousins and VERY dedicated McCLAIN researchers..........

Just North of DeSoto, IL is a cemetery on the left in a farmer's field. Does anyone know the name of it? There is now no fence around it and the weeds are high enough that I can no longer see the tombstones. I fear that in a few years, it will be lost to the descendents of those buried there.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 01 June 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #22 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Which is better, listening or reading? Both compliment each other! Driving to my part time work, I listen to a Canadian Windsor PBS radio program. On Friday past, the DJ mentioned a bit of news that a man, at an unverified age of 125 years, was growing a second set of adult teeth. Something to look forward to! <G> Family history is a catalyhst to further study. One of the family stories that floated in my Mother's family was that the brother of my third great grandmother Ames had his heel shot off in the War of 1812. After many years of reading, I discovered that indeed she had a brother who did indeed receive a wound in the heel in the War of 1812. Now, I live within "spittin'" distance of one of the sites of a decisive battle in our second War for Independence [1812]. That is a war, much like the Korean "conflict", that gets little mention ... it is a "forgotten" war, so to speak. True, it gets a nodding mention, here and there. This week while making contact with a "new" [very distant] cousin, I began reading casually through material I have accumulated over many years on this family. It was refreshing to recall that this family probably first appeared in Maryland, then Virginia, then what is now West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and finally southern Illinois [or, at least my branch]. In that process were these words: "The father served in the war of 1812, was in several hard fought battles, that of the Horse Shoe Bend being one of them." Whoa!! Another War of 1812 participant ... and, a third great grandfather, at that. That set me off to my personal library, the public library and the internet! The first important thing that grew in my consciousness was the idea that the War of 1812 was not just fought north and east of Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was also fought in the very deep south. Living in the area where the Battle of Fort Meigs was fought, and just up the street from Fort Miamis, the memory of the Battle of New Orleans had faded. Even the term "red sticks" conjured up only a wisp of memory pointing to the Indian Chief Tecumseh. Down in Alabama, along the Tallapoosa River there is a place where the river nearly doubles back on itself and is called, Horse Shoe Bend. On the morning of 27 March 1814 an army of some 3,000 men, under the command of Major General Andrew Jackson, Tennessee Militia, attacked some 1,000 Upper Creek "aboriginals", in what was the culminating battle of the Creek War of 1813-14. This battle and war is considered a part of the War of 1812. The short version is that on that morning, Red Eagle was not present, but more than 1,000 Creek warriors and 500 women and children were in Horse Shoe Bend. The women and children were located in the toe of the horseshoe in the village named Tohopeka. The presiding Chief [Menawa] and the Red Sticks [term for the Upper Creeks] fought a decisive battle in which Chief Menawa and the prophet Minahee hoped to be victorious. Jackson's army was made up of the East and West Tennessee Militia, the US Army's 39thRegiment, and some 500 Cherokee and 100 Lower Creek. Jackson surrounded the toe of the horseshoe to prevent reinforcements and/or retreat. The Creek formed a barricade made of earth and logs that crossed the neck of the peninsula in such a way that "a force approaching would be exposed to a double fire, while they lay entirely safe behind it." [words of Andrew Jackson] Though Jackson had two cannon, they were ineffective against the earth work barrier, so after two hours the effort was abandoned. Meanwhile, being quite independent in their thinking and actions, the Indian "allies" of the Americans decided to swim the 120 or so yards across the river. They "appropriated" the canoes of the Creek there and transported the mixed force of Native Americans and Tennessee Militia to the peninsula toe. They burned the village and captured the women and children. When Jackson saw the smoke of the burning village he decided that a risky assault of the breastworks, while the attention of the Creek was drawn to their rear, was in order. Historians say that he knew that if the assault failed it could destroy his army, but chose this action. The fighting was reported as "ferocious". Fighting was "muzzle to muzzle" along the breastwork. The superior number of Jackson's forces eventually overwhelmed the Red Stick warriors in hand to hand combat. As so often happens in war, once the outcome was predictable, the battle turned into a slaughter. The American and Allied forces killed as many Upper Creek as they could. More than half of the warriors were killed that day. Some reports say that in attempting to escape, 250 to 300 more warriors drowned or were shot trying to cross the river. Though only 49 Tennessee Militiamen died that day, more than 150 more were wounded and many of those mortally. The Allies lost fewer than a reported dozen warriors. Years later, one of the survivors of the battle, wrote that "The sun was going down, and it set on the ruin of the Creek nation. Where, but a few hours before a thousand brave [warriors] had scowled on death and their assailants, there was nothing to be seen but volumes of dense smoke over the corpses of painted warriors, and the burning ruins of their fortifications." That veteran, then 21 years of age, was Ensign Sam Houston, later governor of Tennessee and president of the Republic of Texas. The resulting treaty ceded almost 20 million acres of Creek territory. Later during the great pressure of the US Government to force the Creek to sell their remaining half to settlers, William McIntosh, a mestizo chief, who attempted to sell the US that remaining land was sentenced to be executed by the Creek council. Menawa, who survived his injuries at Horseshoe Bend, had regained a position of leadership among the nation, led the party which carried out that sentence. This did not halt the flow of settlers into the Creek country. After becoming President in 1829, Jackson decided to follow the Indian Policy favored by most Southerners to move the Nations west of the Mississippi. The resulting march we are all familiar with. All of the Creek did not give up and move across the Mississippi. Some went to live and fight in Florida with the Seminole in the Second Seminole War [1835-42]. The US Supreme Court, in 1831, upheld the Cherokee land titles, but the Jackson Administration ignored this ruling and forced the five Nations to move. Janet Piccola wrote a website which lists the 78 graves in the Indian War of 1812 Cemetery, which is not located on Horseshoe Bend Military Park, and is reported to be in sad shape due to vandalism. Her site pleads for those interested to contact her.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 25 May 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #21 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Today is not really "Memorial Day", but it is the weekend we honor those who have served. Those who served. We give credit for this Memorial Day to General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, who in his General Order No. 11, proclaimed on 30 May 1868 an observance to honor those who had died for their country, with flowers placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. However, there are several stories of the beginnings or "the first" Memorial Day. Every American can pay respect to someone who played some part in serving our country. Off the top of my memory, I respect a third great Grandfather, one of several, who took up arms to help gain independence, and two great great Grandfathers who paid the "high" price, giving their lives as a result of the War Between the States. Also, my respect goes to a great grand Uncle who served in the Spanish American War. And an Uncle who enlisted the day before the Armistice in World War II is fondly remembered. Finally, my Father, called up from the U S Marine Corps Reserves, who served a full career encompassing World War II and the Korean Conflict. These are only samples very personal to me, and there are so many more thousands, women and men, who I salute symbolically for also serving my country. Memorial Day Greetings to all readers.

Hi Tom Shawcross, Mary Gibbs was born abt.1821. My interest was in finding out who the Miranda Gibbs Rogers was because she was a witness for Isaac Stewart marriage to Anna Huskey 24 Feb 1886. Isaac's mother was Mary Gibbs born abt. 1821, so trying to find a clue to the life of Mary Gibbs Arnold Stewart in 1886 and where is his sister Sarah STEWART was at the time. His older sister Jennie Stewart Wilkerson Greenwell was a witness also, no knowledge of her after that. Isaac Stewart worked on the boats as well as Robert Greenwell and Munson Greenwell.. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you, Jeannet

My great-great-grandmother Augustine "Justine" Wiele (1838-1913) married twice. Her first husband was William Schuette (1817-1873) who was a widower with at least two sons William & Henry Schuette. William and Justine had five children together: Charles, Catherine (married Carl Hartel), Frederick, Fritz, and Ernst. I'm interested in contacting any descendants of William Schuette and have some photos of the family that may interest them. Please see the following URL for more information and the photos. http://www.rafert.org/Schuette/Schuette.htm Joel

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois (c) Bill Oliver 18 May 2003 Vol 2 Issue: #20 ISBN: pending Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, I dedicate this article to JR, an Office Manager and one of many who knew me in another occupation. Having an active imagination and a zest for discovery, my mind is most active; constantly seeking new information with which to draw new conclusions. It sometimes surprises me that I spend so much time thinking and reading about history, or, the past. School, until Graduate School, being a late developer, was never my strong suit. My early years are dotted with memories of being sent to the Principal's Office, or set in the huge coat closets each classroom had in schools built in or before the 1930s. However, eventually how to read was learned, albeit, at a most slow speed. Still a passion for reading The Leatherstocking Tales and historical novels about pioneers and colonial days developed. Since so much time was spent in those school closets it was thought that that was the place to read, so my reading took place in room corners or literally in closets. There were exceptions though, becoming a teenager the great outdoors was discovered.and the solitude of the forests was a great place to read. The trunk of a tree at water's edge, with a fishing pole, line and "bobber" signaled to any passerby that quiet was the operative condition and I would not be disturbed. Once while checking up on me, Dad discovered my secret, but that is another story. My education was very varied. The elementary buildings or schools that I attended ranged from small two or three room schools to as many as thirty six rooms in three floors. And, one building was built in the Mediterreanian style with an inner courtyard. High School days were first spent in a 63 building and then in a building so large that my senior class contained over twenty sections or just short of 500 June graduates. Seven decades ago, and more, most features of rural and urban schools were common to any school in the whole mid-west or Heartland of America, be they located in Nebraska, southern Illinois, or northwestern Ohio. The biggest difference was the isolation of rural one room school teachers from any professional support. Superintendents were too far away to be in frequent contact with their staff and the supplying Normal Schools were aloof with their duties. The rural teachers arrived early and had heat going if necessary. The ringing of the school bell, summoning those within hearing that school would soon commence, usually occurred about 30 minutes before "take-up" time. Then about five minutes before the "starting" bell, the bell would be again rung for the students to "line-up". The school day would begin with "opening exercises", such as the Pledge of Allegiance and singing and/or the reading of stories. Then school lessons began according to the posted schedule. As a pupil, never thinking about such things, it didn't occur to me until joining the profession that scheduling had to have been an exercise in mental gymnastics. It fully hit home with me when becoming an administrator. As a Principal of an large elementary school, schedules for special teachers such as music and physical education were necessary, plus subject scheduling for 350 jurior high school pupils required some skill. In rural schools with all grades in one room there may have been less subjects, but still, getting all subjects for all levels could be complicated and it might need changing from time to time depending on the age and levels of those attending. Attendance yesteryear had different rules than today. Subjects were more fundamental ... reading, writing and arithmetic, with alternating subjects such as geography, history, physiology and civics. These latter subjects were taught on different days. To lessen the burden, not only were subjects alternated but so were grade levels. They were sometimes taught in alternating years, with the exception that first and second grades were usually taught every year. Another plan to ease the burden was to teach combined grade levels. Most learning was by rote ... learned and recited. The oldest students receiving new lessons and the younger pupils always being familiar with the lessons by listening to the lesson being presented to the more advanced pupils. Teachers, being very human, would run lessons overtime. This necessitated cutting other lessons short or even occasionally eliminating them, or others. Though my Dad would say that penmanship was a "Cinderella" subject, being cut the most. It is a marvel to read his written words. His handwriting, and that of his father and uncles, were calligraphers. There handwriting was artistic, stylized, and elegant ... absolutely beautiful. Even at nearly ninety years of age, Dad's writing was as neat as his "spit and polish" Marine Corps bearing. Anyway, regaining the topic, flexibility was the watch word for teachers. Morals and manners were always taught within the context of other subjects, often as writing practice for penmanship. Oh, did I leave out spelling? Not to worry ... spelling and other fact related subjects, such as history and geography, allowed parents and neighbors the opportunity to socialize and express great pride in the pupils, themselves and their communities. Friday evenings were times for spelling bees and history and/or geography contests, followed with pie "suppers". Learning was much more rigid in the smaller rural schools. There was much less "room" for curiosity or questioning. Recitation of facts was the vogue. One of the reasons for my trips to the office was always wanting to know why. However, there entered into the teaching curriculum the "State Courses of Study". The States, in their infinite wisdom, began requiring strict adherence to these courses and superintendents wrote tests based on them. Thus, giving birth to the standardized testing emphasizing the deficiencies perceived in our educational system. Students could now be "tracked" into their future life's work. Something Euro-education had been doing for some time. Grandma never finished the sixth grade, but she read. She read her Bible many times over from cover to cover. She knew the writings of many religious philosophers. And, she read enough to maintain a great knowledge of current events. She truly grew up in a wonderfully changing and advancing world. Yet, in the back of my mind, my world was also a very changing and advancing world. And, I knew that as it changed and the knowledge changed new conclusions were being demanded. What excitement! The old ways, the old knowledge, just didn't allow us to participate in the old ways. Computers are just a small part of the modern change. The next advancement will probably be a cell phone implant. <grin> Without a doubt, during my career all the teaching methods were tried ... lecture, discussion, demonstration, dramatization, constructiion. There was reading silently, reading aloud, reading for clarity of thought, reading for understanding, some experiemnts, drill, blackboard, projects, recitations and testing. There were even thinking lessons. There were/are advantages and disadvantages to rural, one room schools. The rural school was the greatest single element in building the community, the state, and the nation. It was so much a part of this country that its ideals still lived in our history and our hearts. The "Little Red" Schoolhouse did its job.
