    1. [NYNAS ] Hempstead Fire 1849 (1839) Con't
    2. 27 February 1849 Bklyn Eagle Con't THE HEMPSTEAD ARRAIR -- CONTINUATION OF MR. MILLER'S EXAMINATION The examination of Jonathan MILLER for arson and murder, was continued yesterday at Hempstead Court House, on the part of the prosecution, but so far nothing has been brought to light directly to criminate Mr. MILLER, as connected with the horrid crime for which he has been arrested--indeed, hardly enough to hold him for trial, provided he should make no defense whatever. The first witness called yesterday morning was Edward C. MILLER, brother of Jonathan. He was shown a diagram of the premises, which he said was correct. He had not been at the house since January till after the fire; had worked for Jonathan and frequently visited at his house; Jonathan kept his axe, gun, &c in the south-east corner of the shed-room; was present when the axe [thinks it was the same one] was found in the centre of the large west-room; was present when the body of Mrs. MILLER was found. Witness stated several other facts connected with the fire, but nothing of importance. James ROGERS testified to having bought a load of hay of Mr. MILLER, at Brooklyn, about 11 1/2 o'clock on the 15th--the morning of the fire. William CREED, who lives about 1 1/2 miles from MILLER's house saw a man passing, with a load of hay, in the direction of Brooklyn [supposed it to be MILLER] about 15 minutes before 4 o'clock on the morning of the 15th. Is not sure it was MILLER,---Elias and Joseph DORLON were both called to the stand, but their evidence was substantially the same as on Friday last. WARREN DEWITT, sworn.--Saw the fire on the 15th; supposed at 4 A.M. DAVID S. CLOWS--Resides in Hempstead; saw the fire about 4.1.4. [?] JOHN FLOWER--Was at the house of MILLER afte the fire a little after 11 AM; saw the ace about the centre of the main building; pole of head down, edge up, slantingly; parts of the wall and rubbish laying over the pole and under edge of blade; can't say there was any wall under the head of the axe. WM. R. EVERETT.--Went to look for Mr. MILLER to inform him of the fire; met him at Bedford, [suburbs of Brooklyn]; asked him if he had heard of the accident or something to that effect; he said he had not; I told him his whole family was burned up; he slacked up his reins and said," How can it be?" witness told Henry NOSTRAND, who was with him, to take hold of his [MILLER's] reins; NOSTRAND got on witness wagon, and witness told MILLER to get in with him, which he did, and then turned round to return to Hempstead; MILLER said twice, "how can it be?" witness asked him [MILLER] how he left the fire? MILLER said his wife waked him up, and he came directly down the stairs, lighted the candle, went to the barn, fed his horses, went back to the house, and took his coffee, then harnessed his horses and hitched them to the wagon, and then went into the house, put on his coat, blew out the candle sitting on the table near the middle of the room, went out, shut the gate, and started for Brooklyn; it was two o'clock, MILLER told witness, when he came down stairs; left home about three o'clock, A.M. HENRY NOSTRAND--Was at the fire at 7 o'clock; went with Mr. EVERETT to look for MILLER; met MILLER at Bedford; EVERETT said to MILLER, "I have found you at last," then EVERETT told MILLER that his family were burned up; MILLER asked EVERETT what time the house took fire; remained in conversation with MILLER but a few moments; EVERETT told MILLER this house took fire between four and five; took charge of MILLER's wagon; MILLER got into EVERETT's; don't recollect of hearing MILLER say, "How can it be?" Here the evidence closed for the present on the ......the District Attorney say-.....[black ink stripe across the page] The Court room.........people, most of whom were MILLER's neighbors, and while they may say there is no positive eveidence to convict, there seems to be a vague but quite general conviction that he is guilty.

    1. [NYNAS ] 1839 Hempstaed Fire
    2. 26 February 1849 Brooklyn Daily Eagle THE HEMPSTEAD FIRE. The opinion seems to prevail that the home of Mr. MILLER was set on fire to conceal the foul murder of the family, and strange to say, suspicion has fallen on Mr. MILLER himself as the murderer. He has accordingly been arrested, and the case will undergo a thorough investigation. Of course we cannot, at this distance, be very well informed respecting Mr. MILLER's previous character on the motives which could have lead to so horrible a deed. But unless the evidence is strong against him, and the motive can be made to appear, the public will be slow to believe that a father would murder his own daughter sixteen years old, and his own sons of six and eight years. We shall be glad to know on what facts this awful suspicion is grounded. It appears that Mr. MILLER's conduct has tended to deepen the suspicion against him. The committee appointed to investigate the circumstances attending the fire, requested MILLER's brother-in-law to ask his attendance before them for the purpose of eliciting information from him, but he refused to attend. The sheriff made the same request, but Mr. MILLER still refused. It was their determination to arrest him and have an investigation in a legal way. P.S. We are informed that an attempts was made yesterday to hold an examination of MILLER at Trimmings Square, but owing to the tremendous crowd that congregated at the small tavern where it was proposed to be held, the attempt was rendered futile and the examination postponed until to day at the Queens county court house.

    1. [NYNAS ] 1839 Hempstead Fire
    2. Brooklyn Daily Eagle 16 February 1849 THE TERRIBLE FIRE and deaths near Hempstead.--In another portion of our paper, we give some strange, but undoubtedly true, particulars connected with the house lately burnt, near Hempstead, and with Mr. MILLER. The facts we glean from a gentleman who resided at Trimming Square. As yet the details of this tragedy are not fully gathered, but we know enough to say that it is one of the most shocking, that ever happened on Long Island. THE HEMPSTEAD TRAGEDY - ERROR -- In our account of events, perhaps connected with this affair, yesterday, the printers should have had one little paragraph as it was written thus: "The following occurrences took place in 1839." [Yesterday's article erroneously transposed it to 1849.] We learn that the statement made in the Star that the unfortunate girl at Hempstead who was abused by a negro in that neighborhood had been turned out of school by her teacher [Mrs. ADRAIN, we believe] is untrue. On the other hand she has been treated with the greatest tenderness and every means have been made use of to cause her to forget the outrage. Then on the 21 February 1849 THE HEMPSTEAD FIRE. We mentioned a few days since that the origin of the late terrible affair at Hempstead, L.I. was involved in mystery, but that strange suspicions were entertained by the neighbors. These suspicions gradually became stronger and created great excitement, which resulted in the coroner holding a second inquest on the bodies. He was assisted in the investigaton by Dr. WEBB, Dr. SNEDECKER and a young gentleman from New York. It appeared that Mr. MILLER could not have left the house more than 30 minutes when the fire was discovered. When Mr. DUNHAM got there the main building was very nearly destroyed, but the kitchen was but little burned, showing that the flames were not accidentally communicated from the fire which Mr. MILLER kindled in the kitchen. The remains of Mrs. MILLER and the children were all found lying together, and not as they would most likely have been had the fire been accidental. Mrs. MILLER lay on a straw bed and did not appear to have moved. Her body, and those of her children were so much burnt that nothing relative to the origin of the fire could be learnt from them, but Mrs. MILLER's head was but little burnt. On it were two gastly wounds and the skull was fractured. The coroners Jury found a verdict that Mrs. MILLER and the children were murdered by some person unknown. When Mr. MILLER was informed of the catastrophy, Mr. NOSTRAND states that he seemed but little effected. It was first supposed that the atrocious deed was perpetrated by the friends of a negro whom Mr. MILLER shot about ten years ago, but it is not known that the negro had a single friend or relative in this country. The strange circumstance of a young woman who lived at Mr. M's disappearing one morning about fifteen months ago since, and no mention being made to the neighbors for two weeks of her being missing, has created an unfavorable impression against him, which the circumstances of the late tragedy, are calculated to make still stronger. There will probably be a judicial investigation at an early day. --N.Y. SUN. Transcribed for the Bklyn Info Pages by Nancy E Lutz

    2. Hi All,        My name is Tony DellaRocca.  I am member of the Board of Trustees and the company Genealogist for the 14th Regiment NYSM Co.E Living History Association.  The 14th Brooklyn was a CW regiment.(www.14thBrooklyn.net)        As I was doing my research for the 14th, I started walking the Cemeteries of Long Island and New York.  I noticed so many CW vets headstones, with many in disrepair, that I started to take pictures of them all, and list them in a data base.  I noticed here on Long Island many 127th NY men, so I took an interest, and started working specifically on that regiment. The regiment had many men that came from the South Shore of Long Island, some right in my own backyard( I am from Lindenhurst).  I have spent the last 4 years gathering info on the regiment, and the men.  I have a non commercial website dedicated to this fine regiment.  There are over 260 pages of info, including individual pages for over 240 men.  I also have a gravesite registration page, with over 1350 men listed from all different regiments.  I have at least another 800 to list.  I have pictures of all of those headstones, and if anyone wants any specific information on any of those soldiers, just send me an e-mail.        I am trying to get the word out on this fine Regiment (with a real Long Island presence), I hope you will stop by and let me know what you think!              I will be posting information on the list from time to time on specific men.  So many of them are from founding families of Long Island!              The website address is 127thNewYork.com                     Regards,                     Tony DellaRocca                     127thNewYork.com

    1. [NYNAS ] Andersonville Civil War POW site
    2. Kevin Frye
    3. Hello veterans and newbies of the RootsWeb. I have received permission from the listowner to make this offer. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are more than 41718 prisoners on record from the Union, ( 6680 from Pennsylvania )and quite a few who were held prisoner here as Union regiments from Confederate states. There are also nearly 13000 ( 2261 New York ) marked graves of those who died here. I thought I would send my offer as these would lead to a great many descendants who might be looking for them.. I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 41718 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I also have the continued update database which is dated October 01 2002 . . I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking . Please email me directly at [email protected] If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

    1. Re: [NYNAS ] Dan Daly
    2. David J Lindstedt
    3. I stand corrected. Smedly Darlington Butler, born 30 July 1881, received his first award as a Major for action at Vera Cruz 22 April 1914. As for Daniel Joseph Daly, born 11 November 1873, Glen Cove LI, NY. His first award was for action on 14 August 1900 in the battle of Peking, China (Boxer Rebellion). At the time he held the rank of PVT. His second award was received, for action in the Haitian Campaign, as was Smedly Butler's second award. Butler was still a Major, while Daly had risen to the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Daly was then (from citation): "Serving with the 15th Company of Marines on 22 October 1915, G/Sgt. Daly was one of the company to leave Fort Liberte, Haiti, for a 6-day reconnaissance. After dark on the evening of 24 October, while crossing the river in a deep ravine, the detachment was suddenly fired upon from 3 sides by about 400 Cacos concealed in bushes about 100 yards from the fort. The marine detachment fought its way forward to a good position, which it maintained during the night, although subjected to continuous fire from the Cacos. At daybreak the marines, in 3 squads, advanced in 3 different directions, surprising and scattering the Cacoas in all directions. G/Sgt. Daly fought with exceptional gallantry against heavy odds throughout this action." Smedly Butler served as the Commanding Officer of detachments from the 5th, 13th and 23rd Companies, where he lead the attack on Fort Riviere, Haiti on 17 November 1915. It was for this action he received his second Medal of Honor. WW II "Manila" John Basilone was only awarded 1 Medal of Honor, he was awarded the Navy Cross (nation's 2nd highest award) for the action in which he was killed. As to what has changed .... many things come to mind. For starters, the Marine Corps, like the Navy only wore chevrons (stripes) on the left arm prior to WW II. When I entered the corps in May 1953 there were only 7 enlisted pay grades. In 1959 all branches of service, were increased to 9 pay grades. Pre 1959 M/Sgt, 1st Sgt & Sgt Major were all E-7 with just different titles. With the change in 1959 the Marine Corps brought forth the present day Lance Corporal as an E-3 replacing the former Corporal E-3, likewise the former Sergeant E-4 was replaced by the Corporal E-4 as was the Staff Sergeant E-5 replaced by the Sergeant E-5. I was personally involved in the middle of this change. As any marine enlisted person can tell you there is a world of difference between being a "buck" Sergeant and being a STAFF NCO! This was one of my causes of leaving the corps in Oct 1965. By 1968 and the expansion of the numbers of personnel these inequities has pretty much straightened themselves out. An example being in 1960 & 1961 I shot as a member of both the 2nd Force Service Regiment and the Marine corps base Camp LeJeune rifle teams. My shooting partner in 1961 was a young Corporal named David Luke, as such Lindstedt & Luke were paired as old and new shooters. Sgt.( he was promoted in 1961) Dave Luke won the National Service rifle CHAMPIONSHIP. In 1968 he also won the same championship, but now held the "temporary" rank of Captain. He was later reverted back to the rank of Warrant Officer W-3 at the end of the Viet Nam War. Prior to 1968 there was no Military Police MOS for marines. In 1956 - 1958 I served as a MP with the Fort Mifflin, Naval Ammunition Depot, Philadelphia guard detachment. ALL MARINES were trained and expected to serve as Military Police. There was no Sniper/Scout MOS. In 1960 while a member of the MCB Camp LeJeune rifle team I attended a 3 day "school" in sniper training where we engaged targets at 800 yards. It was conducted on "Charlie" range at the rifle range at Court House Bay. They had to block of the road as the range was limited to 600 yards and we shot from the far side of the paring lot in the wood line across the road. Prior to 1956 the Marine corps taught NO DEFENSIVE COMBAT TACTICS! The corps was taught to be only an OFFENSIVE COMBAT organization. Today most Mess Sgts. are past history with McDonalds & Burger King found on most bases. "C" rations left the corps and MREs came on board in about 1990 and Desert Storm. Pre Viet Nam "C" rations came complete with CIGARETS to go with the greasy sausage patties. In Butler & Daly's day, troops had gone from the Krag rifle to a few on the detachment on the Maine and others being armed with the 6mm Lee "straight pull" rifle, to the new 1903 Springfield rifle, modified in WW II to the 1903A3 rifle and replaced by the M1 Grand, M1 & M2 Carbine and a handful of (Marine invented) Johnson rifles and light machine guns. 1962 saw the replacement of the M1 Garand as the standard service rifle with the M14 and the adoption of the 7.62mm NATO round. The BAR was replaced by the M60 machine gun. The WW 1 vintage .50 cal Browning machine guns were removed from the line and put in storage. The corps went from amphibious landings via cargo nets & "peter" boats to the vertical envelopment by the helicopter. Viet Nam brought about the resurrection of the .50 cal "Ma Duce" machine gun and ultimately adoption of the M16 rifle. May I further suggest contact with the Marine Corps Association. I would believe (as I have read some) they have published several articles in both the "MARINE CORPS GAZETTE" and "LEATHERNECK MAGAZINE" on Daly. The license plate bracket on the rear of my car says " U.S. ARMY RETIRED" but .... the plate on the front of the car reads: "ONCE A MARINE ...

For military personnel there is no other and any adjective is unnecessary. The citation includes the preamble "The President of the United States In the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to," etc., hence the commonly used phrase. Russell

THEY ARE EARNED AND AWARDED. The terms "WIN" and "WINNER" are civilian views of the military! I will see what I can dig up for you on Dan Daly. As you know Smedly D.

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lRB.2ACE/461 Message Board Post: Bob, Thanks your right, but its the same limited info over and over just in different places. I was hoping for some fresh insight from somebody local with a best case of a family connection of some type as he never married or had any kids. Paul
