I67510: Charles Willing BYRD Judge of Ohio (26 Jun 1770

Notes

"Charles Willing Byrd studied law and was admitted to the bar before emigrating to Kentucky in 1794. In the West he acted as agent for Robert Morris who owned large tracts of land in Kentucky. His activities in this new state won favorilble recognition. This, together with the distinction of his Virginia ancestry and the influence of his mothers relatives, the Willing family of Philadelphia, brought an appointment as Secretary of the Northwest Territory in 1799. Byrd soon showed that he was strongly attached to the Jeffersonian party and opposed Governor St. Clair who was a Federalist. Secretary Byrd acted as Governor when St Clair was absent and used this authority to promote the interest of his party. When St. Clair was removed from office by President Jefferson in November, 1802, Byrd was acting Governor until the following March when Dr. Tiffin became Governor of the new State of Ohio. Byrd was then appointed by President Jefferson as United States District Judge for the District of Ohio.

ID Number: I61255

Notes

"Tradition has gone wild over the career of John Markham. One legend makes him a British peer, another calls him a pirate, a third insists upon his being the buccaneer Blackbeard, but all authorities agree in pronouncing him a handsome, dashing and fascinating gentleman, and a daring, cruel and adroit villain. Here Col. Thomas Green shows his skill and power in interpreting traditions and in deciphering legends. He writes:

""There lived near the family, a John Markham, an Englishman with a peculiar history. He was by birth a gentleman, as the term is used in England, and of mixed Anglo-Saxon lineage, -had been an officer in the British Navy, had killed his captain in a duel in the West Indies, and had taken refuge in Virginia, where he had engaged in mercantile pursuits, and had married the widow of a merchant, much older than himself, by whom he had no children, but of whose whole property he managed to obtain possession. His wife died, and he returned to England, sold a small inherited estate which had come down to him from Anglo-Saxon ancestors, who had owned it before the conquest, for which one of his descendants used to say he ought to have been hung, and eloped with and married a young English girl, with whom he returned to Virginia, and by whom he had seventeen daughters and one son. A shrewd, money-getting, out-breaking, lawless, self-willed, large brained, devil-defying man was this John Markham, if all accounts of him be true, respecting neither God nor man, and fearing neither; and every now and then there breaks out in his race the genuine Markham streak.

His son, named John, gobbled up all the paternal estate, and was the father of Commodore James Markham, a distinguished officer of a Virginia Navy during the Revolution.

One of the first John Markham's seventeen daughters was the grandmother of the late T. Daviers Carneal, well known in Cincinnati and throughout central Kentucky.

Another was the ancestress of Major McRae, formerly Commandant of the Barracks at Newport; of George McRae, of Mississippi, and of the family of that name, of South Carolina.

One of the youngest, Elizabeth, married Captain John Marshall."" ^[S2284]

*********
Richard Pemberton's Fight With the Indians By Emory L. Hamilton

From the unpublished manuscript, Indian Atrocities Along the Clinch, Powell and Holston Rivers, pages 129-130.

On May 26, 1785, Major Crockett wrote to Governor Henry of Virginia (1), the following:

The Indians killed one man on the North Fork of the Holston River, the 6th of April last, and wounded a man ten days after, (April 16) on the head of Clinch, with arrows. There has not been one year since the year ‘74, but the Indians has done more or less damage in this county, which covers nearly 80 miles of the frontier of this state.

Who the man was that was killed on the North Fork of Holston, on April 6, 1785, is unknown. The man whom Colonel Crockett says was wounded "with arrows" on the head of Clinch, was in all probability Richard Pemberton. Bickley tells of the details of the wounding, (2) but has an incorrect date for the event, if Crockett was referring to Pemberton. Bickley says:

Richard Pemberton, the hero of this battle, lived in the Baptist Valley, about five miles from Jeffersonville (now Tazewell). In addition to a small farm around his cabin, he cultivated a field, now (1856) owned by William O. George, about one and a half miles from his dwelling.

On a Sabbath morning late in August, 1788, he started to his field accompanied by his wife and two children, to see that his fences were not down, and to repair any breach that might have been made. According to the custom of the times, Mr.Pemberton had taken with him his gun, which was his constant companion. After satisfying himself that his crops were safe, the little party started back. They had gone but a few hundred yards, however, when two Indians armed with bows and arrows, knives and tomahawks, came yelling toward them at full speed. In an instant the pioneer's gun was leveled and the trigger pulled; it missed fire, and in his hurry to spring the lock again, he broke it, and of course could not fire. Seeing him raise his gun to shoot, caused the Indians to halt, and commence firing arrows at him. Keeping himself between his wife and children and the Indians, he ordered them to get on as fast as possible and try to reach a house at which a Mr. Johnson lived, and where several men were living. This house was some half mile distant, but he hoped to reach it, and save those whom he held dearest - his wife and children. The Indians made every possible attempt to separate him from his family, all of which proved vain. They would retreat to a respectful distance, and then come bounding back like so many furies from the regions of indescribable woe. When they came too near, he would raise his gun as if he really were reserving his fire, which would cause them to halt and surround him. But at every attack they shot their arrows into his breast, causing great pain.

For nearly an hour this running fight was kept up; still the blood thirsty savages pressed on; at last, he was sufficiently near to Johnson's house to be heard, and he raised his powerful voice for succor; he was heard, but no sooner did the men of the house hear the cry of "Indians", than they took to their heels in an opposite direction. At last he arrived at the house, closely pursued by the Indians, and entering after his family, barred the door, and began to make preparations for acting upon the offensive, when the Indians made a rapid retreat. Pemberton reached his own house the following day, where he resided many years, an eyesore to those who had so ingloriously fled from his assistance. Many arrow points which entered his breast, were never removed, and were carried to the end of his life as the best certificate of his bravery, and devotion to his family.
