------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume III VII--Prominent Persons born in Jeffersonton, Culpeper county, Virginia, November 5, 1831, son of Frederick Fishback and Sophie Yates, his wife. His paternal grandfather, Martin Fishback, a revolutionary soldier, was descended from John Fishback, one of the German miners settled by Gov. Spotswood at Germanna, in Virginia, and from Agnes Haeger, his wife, daughter of Rev. John Henry Haeger, parson of the colony. His maternal grandfather was Col. William Yates, of Petersburg, Virginia. He received his early education at the schools of his native village and vicinity, subsequently entering the University of Virginia. After his graduation in 1855, he studied law in the office of Luther Spellman, of Richmond, and was admitted to the bar in 1858. His first venture in law practice was in 1858, while on an extended visit to Illinois. Here he became acquainted with Abraham Lincoln, who, entrusted to him some important legal business. In 1858 Mr. Fishback took up a permanent residence at Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he engaged in the practice of his profession. Meanwhile Lincoln, with offers of other business, urged him to return to Illinois, which, however, he did not do, preferring the Arkansas climate. In 1861 he was elected delegate to the state convention which passed the ordinance of secession. Although so pronounced a Union man that the secession press of Arkansas denounced him as an abolitionist, he was opposed to the policy of coercion, thinking that it would provoke civil war. Upon President Lincoln's call for troops to coerce South Carolina, Mr. Fishback, by advice of his constituents, voted for secession in the hope that when the north saw the withdrawal of all the southern states, it might be forced into accepting the Crittenden compromise. All efforts at compromise failing, however, when the war broke out he went north, and during the occupation of Little Rock by the Federal troops in 1863, he established a newspaper there called the "Unconditional Union." While editing the paper, he, as commander, was raising the Fourth Arkansas Cavalry for the Federal service. When about nine hundred men had enlisted, he was elected to the United States senate by the Union legislature, and thus was never mustered into service. Under the proclamation of President Lincoln the reorganization of the state had been at length accomplished, Mr. Fishback having such influence with the convention in charge that he was called upon to write the greater part of the constitution of 1864, sometimes called the "Fishback Constitution." He was advised that if the word "white" as a prerequisite to voting was not stricken out, the state would not be received into the Union, and he would not get the seat in the senate to which it was known he would be elected. Believing, however, that it would not be safe to confer the suffrage upon such a large mass of ignorance, he refused to strike it out. His was the first case from the south of an effort to restore representations in congress. President Lincoln's cabinet recognized the senators, but other leaders of the party in power, headed by Sumner and Wade, took the ground that as the state had run down like a watch, and could only be wound up by some extraneous power, that power was congress, and that no southern states should be therefore not seated. In 1865 he was appointed treasury agent for Arkansas, a position which he refused to accept until told that by so doing he could save the people many millions of money. His conduct of that office added largely to his popularity. In 1874 he was elected to the constitutional convention which framed the present constitution, and in 1877, 1879, and 1885 served in the legislature. He was the author of what is known as the "Fishback Amendment" to the constitution of Arkansas, by which the legislature is forbidden ever to pay certain fraudulent state bonds issued during reconstruction. During the summer of 1892, contrary to the policy of his opponents, he made no canvass for the nomination for governor. His cause was taken up by the people, however, and he received 540 votes out of 628 in the nominating convention, while his plurality at the polls was larger than that received by any other governor since reconstruction times. Immediately after election he accepted the urgent invitation of the national Democratic committee, and coming north, made a number of speeches in New York and Indiana, which met with gratifying success. His administration was marked by continual prosperity. It was at the instigation of Gov. Fishback that the governors of the southern states met in convention at Richmond, Virginia, in April, 1893, one of the most important and distinguished assemblies ever held in America, and of which he was made president. In 1867 he was married to Adelaide, daughter of Joseph Miller, a prominent merchant of Fort Smith, Arkansas, who was robbed and murdered on board a Mississippi river steamboat in 1850. He died at Fort Smith, Arkansas, February 9, 1903. Search Results Search Terms: YATES (28) Database: Virginia Biographical Encyclopedia Combined Matches: 28 Previous Hits Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume III VII--Prominent Persons born October 20, 1844, near Hallsboro, Chesterfield ??ounty, Virginia, son of John Daniel Baker and Ann Elizabeth, daughter of William Howard and Mary Taylor, his wife. He was brought up in the country, but was trail in his youth, and did not perform any severe manual labor. His mother died when he was only nine years of age. He attended a private school taught by Dr. R. B. Winfree, and at the age of twelve, in 1856, at his own desire, began his apprenticeship in the office of the Danville "Register." Afterwards he worked on the Richmond "Enquirer," where he had charge of the printing and press rooms, and mailing at night. In the spring of 1863 he enlisted in the privateer service of the Confederate navy under Capt. John Yates Beall. His service was on Chesapeake Bay, crippling the commerce of the enemy and destroying lighthouses. In September, 1863, when sharing with fifteen others in an attempt to surprise a Federal gunboat, he was captured and confined in irons in Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, for nearly six weeks. To save him and his associates from being shot as privateers, the Confederate authorities held an equal number of Federal prisoners in irons in Charleston, South Carolina, as hostages for their proper treatment as prisoners of war. This had its effect; the irons were removed from Mr. Baker, and he was transferred to Fortress Monroe and afterwards to Fort Norfolk and later to Point Lookout, where in the spring of 1864 he was exchanged, and proceeded to Richmond. There he was placed on light duty as clerk in Provost Marshal Carrington's office, and remained until the evacuation of Richmond, being among the last to leave the city. He then joined Gen. Lee's army at Amelia Court House, and was with the Twenty-fifth Virginia Regiment in the battle of Sailors Creek. He rejoined the army at High Bridge, and connected himself with a Texas regiment with which he served until the surrender at Appomattox Court House. After being paroled, he set out for Richmond, but at Jude's Ferry took work on a farm. Later he formed a partnership with A. T. B. W. and J. H. Martin, under the name of Martin Brothers & Baker, for manufacturing lumber, grinding sumac and tanning leather, at Hallsboro and Manchester, Virginia, and after the death of his partners, he succeeded to the business, which he still conducts. He has served as justice of the peace, and for two terms was supervisor of Midlothian district, Chesterfield county. In 1883-84, he served in the house of delegates, where he secured the passage of bills to prevent the running of trains on Sunday, and to require clerks of courts to certify that bonds should be given by special commissioners before selling property decreed for sale. He was a member again in 1899-1900, and was afterwards re-elected for three more terms. During his service he was a member and chairman of the new penitentiary building commission of which he was a member of the finance committee. At the Virginia Exposition, in 1888, he was commissioner from Chesterfield county, serving as such without compensation. Its exhibit received the first prize as the best county exhibit in the state. At the St. Louis Exposition, in 1904, he was assistant commissioner, and it was due, in great measure, to his labors that the Virginia exhibit was made a great success. He was also commissioner from Virginia to the Jamestown Exposition of 1907. He has been a frequent contributor to the newspapers on feligious, social, and political subjects. In 1888, he wrote, at the request of the board of of supervisors of Chesterfield county, a pamphlet on the history and resources of the county, and 1892 he produced a fuller edition of the work. He is a trustee of Richmond College. On December 25, 1866, he married Sarah Thomas Martin, and they have six children. His address is Hallsboro, Chesterfield county, Virginia.

He received his preliminary education in Virginia under the Rev. Mr. Yates, of Gloucester county; later, in 1752, was placed in a preparatory school at Hackney, England. Thence he went to Trinity College, and was graduated at Cambridge, A. B. He returned to Virginia in 1761, where in 1762 he married Lucy, daughter of Colonel Philip and Mary (Randolph) Grymes, of Middlesex county. He was a member of the Virginia house of burgesses from 1761-1775 from York county, and in 1774, when that body was dissolved by Lord Dunmore, he was among the protestants against the action of the governor, urged the appointment of deputies to a general congress, and was returned to the next house. He was a member of the Williamsburg convention, August 1, 1774, and that of March, 1775, where he proposed to meet British aggression with armed opposition, and was appointed colonel of the Second Virginia Regiment by the convention in July, 1775. On his election as a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1775, he resigned his commission as colonel and served in Congress, 1775-77, signing the Declaration of Independence. He was a member of the Virginia constitutional convention of May, 1776. He resigned his seat in Congress in May, 1777, on account of illness, and in August, 1777, was appointed commander of the state forces, and raised and equipped a troop of cavalrymen, accompanying them to Philadelphia. He expended a large sum of money in this patriotic purpose, but as the troop was not called into service he was never repaid for his outlay except by the act of August 8, 1778, in which it was "resolved that the thanks of Congress be given to the Honorable General Nelson and to the officers and gentlemen for their brave, generous and patriotic efforts in the cause of their country." He was returned to Congress in 1779, and served a few months, but another sudden illness forced him to resign. When the invasion of Virginia was threatened in May, 1779, he organized the militia and at his own expense sent two regiments to the South. In June, 1780, when Virginia resolved to borrow $2.000,000 for the Continental treasury to provide for the maintenance of a French fleet, he secured a large part of that amount by personal endorsement, which he was obliged to pay. He was elected governor June 12, 1781; commanded the Virginia militia in the siege of Yorktown; ordered the artillery to open upon his own house, which he supposed was the headquarters of the British general; was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, and received the thanks of Washington in general orders. He retired from the office of governor, November 30, 1781, whereupon he was accused of maladministration for assuming dictatorial powers during the perilous term of administration. He was exonerated by the state legislature. He spent the remainder of his life in retirement and poverty, his fortune having been expended for his country, and no recompense was ever made by the government to his family. His grave at Yorktown, Virginia, was not marked, but his statue was placed in the group on the Washington Monument at Richmond. He died at "Offley," Hanover county, January 4, 1789.

Gholson. He was graduated at the College of New Jersey in 1825, studied law, was admitted to the bar and practiced his profession in Mississippi. He removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1845, and at once took a leading place at the bar. With Bellamy Storer, Sr., and Oliver M. Spencer he was appointed judge of the superior court, and the three probably were never surpassed. He was afterward supreme judge of the state for four years. He wrote a "Digest of the Laws of Ohio," and also published addresses on "Payment of Bonds of the United States;" "Reconstruction of the Southern States," and "Payment of the Principal of the Public Debt." He married Elvira Wright, of Missouri. He died in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 20, 1870.

Name: John Yates Beall Click to view full context ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume III VII--Prominent Persons born at Charlestown, Virginia (now West Virginia), March 16, 1836, son of William Lucas, congressman from Virginia. In infancy he sustained a fall, causing a permanent spinal difficulty. He went from an academy to the University of Virginia, where he remained four years, and after graduation studied law under Judge John W. Brook, and entered upon practice in 1859, at his native place. The next year he located in Richmond, and was there when the civil war broke out. He was given a position on the staff of Gen. Henry A. Wise, in June, 1861, with whom he served throughout the valley campaign until October. On June 1, 1864 he ran the blockade to Canada, in order to assist in the defence of Captain John Yates Beall (q. v.), a college friend, in his trial as a spy. Captain Beall's trial was conducted by the famous New York lawyer, John P. Brady, the Federal department commander, General John A. Dix, refusing to allow Mr. Lucas to appear in the case. Mr. Lucas remained in Canada for some months, and while there wrote his famous poem, "The Land Where We Were Dreaming," which first appeared in the "Montreal Gazette," and was afterwards reproduced in many newspapers in England and the United States. After the war he returned to Charlestown (now in West Virginia), but the "test oath" provisions would not admit of his practicing his profession until 1870, when he formed a law partnership with Judge Thomas B. Green, afterwards president of the supreme court of appeals of West Virginia. In 1884-86 he was a member of the legislature, and in that body he was the important factor in defeating the election of a Standard Oil Company official as a United States senator, and his speech on that occasion was widely disseminated. On March 5, 1887, he was appointed United States senator by Governor Wilson. On December 5, 1889, on the death of Judge Green, of the supreme court of appeals, he was appointed to fill the position, to which he was elected at the end of the term. After leaving the bench he lived a retired life. In 1875 he delivered the ode at the semi-centennial anniversary of the University of Virtennial anniversary of the University of Virginia. He published "Memoir of John Yates Beall," "The Wreath of Eglantine, and Other Poems," "The Maid of Northumberland," "Ballads and Madrigals," "Nicaragua and the Filibusters." In recognition of his ample learning, and brilliant qualities as an orator and writer, the University of Virginia conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. He married Evelina Tucker Brooke, daughter of Henry Laurens Brooke, and Virginia Tucker, his wife, daughter of Henry St. George Tucker, judge of the Virginia supreme court of appeals, and Evelina Hunter, his wife.
