"What for? What's the point?"
I was observant, but didn't know it was a BFD to integrate a Levittown.
I'm tasked to kick butts in life somehow,
as my daughter is meant to kick mine.
It's a blog/social experiment ..interrupted, unedited and mostly written half asleep.
Xanadu Grid is finally in work and I hope to get funded and employ some talented nerds Gamifying the metaverse for education. It's important!

That menu sounds like something from a right-winger, state fair kiosk! That made my arteries twitch, but I'm useless at a buffet. Chinese buffet's hate / love me bc i'm just there for the banter and the crab legs. When I baked haggis in a dinner roll shell, I remembered Grandma's cooking back in Kansas City, MO, where Dad grew up. We typically resided outside anything like "Dodge" with all the shootouts and privateers and scoundrels running about, fighting for control over women who couldn't be more disgusted, or could.

We loved the Corries and grieved hard for Stan Rogers in 1983. Some of us had to chill since we have so much melanin now, (Mostly Nigerians and the Moors) but that would have been my last call theme song! A woman should know these things about her heritage. We look like the cast of Hamilton, had they been raised on real Angus.

I was a heavy-handed mixer when people tipped me in drinks instead of money. I'd actually have people come back requesting more coke for their rum! Then I joined the Navy and watched kids learn how to hold their liquor. smdh, the pressure! </div><div style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">People-watching at the mall was a fun national pastime growing up.

And since we excel behind cameras, being in front of them is not at all my thing. I lack symmetry and I was a high school sporto who never EVER wanted to be a guy.

People in Levittown burbs (mostly kids) actually thought we were greyscale. Many still didn't even have TVs yet. It might as well have been clown makeup to little me. Basically the show was a Levittown commercial to our Levittown neighborhood in Maryland. It was a township that didn't change it's name. Levittown @ Belair in Bowie, MD , with an @ symbol and everything. We laughed when they called it "Belair Estates" 9000 homes- 5 styles was more like a base housing extension and we had the Rambler! (Dad's knees appreciated it) That looks like our neighbor's home. Jesus was Jewish, and snacked on PB&J Matzo cracker.

So Scandinavian cross-dressing wasn't a thing either. Boy did those towns ham it up with the people they brought from the railroads, and vets Grant's crew. Blazing Saddles met Django Unchained. Kids playing cowboys and NDNs were more tacky than cops and robbers. We'd thought about going back up to New York, when they still called it Blackwell's Island. Girls mostly sided with Sam's mother and figured Roger Healey wasn't a complete loss and would have been much more fun for Jeanie, Yes, the Hidden Figures had kids, but few wanted to go to space since they knew how they worked. "Oh no, not getting me up that thing!" Our diva was Eartha Kitt and who knew Channel 13 only paid Oprah $20,000 a year!?

When we FINALLY got M-TV after living in Chicago.<br />
Ferris ping on the "fuck off and go home" gag.<br />
Some Sailors used F-bombs just like that, and Chicago had that ATT cable cut (and we wondered if he was bribed to do it) Board of Trade trading was routed to New York Stock Exchange and Coming to America rocked morons who didn't know there were actual Kings and Queens in Africa.<br />
This was FRILLIANT!<br />
and why Hillary thought the 24/7 coverage was normal-ish.<br />
I'd met squids who were so ignorant, they hardly qualified as "House Broken".<br />
I was stationed at NAS Jax when this aired about 1989 after the MALE prostitution ring hit the news. My Dad was just about to retire from DoD's DARPAnet project trying to figure out how he and Uncle Charlie could explain the logistical advantage of tablet technology.<br />
And here we are, The South African, Levittown social experiment failed.<br />
I'd showed this to a friend and explained that when it comes to discipline, they were as Black as US!<br />
<br />
It would have been cool to have seen THIS guy back then. The only other FEMALE AX, who worked the P-3 Orion was a CAMPBELL!<br />
She was a Cracker Jack level Petty Officer.<br />
I rather had a different perspective on National Security and intellectual property.<br />

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">British royalty. Born in Dublin the third son of Richard, Duke of York, and Cecily Neville. George was created Duke of Clarence in 1461. After his brother Edward attained the throne, the king placed his two younger brothers, George, Duke of Clarence and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, in the household of his cousin the Earl of Warwick for tutoring and training. In 1469, George married Isabel Neville, elder daughter of the Earl of Warwick. George had actively supported his elder brother's claim to the throne, but following the king’s marriage to a commoner, a widow of a Lancastrian knight, even as Warwick was arranging a marriage for Edward IV to a French princess, many including George and his father-in-law, felt betrayed by Edward and the dynastic struggle known as the War of the Roses reignited. When Warwick deserted Edward to ally himself with Margaret of Anjou, George joined him in France. When Warwick hastily married or betrothed his younger daughter, Anne, to Henry VI's heir, however, George changed sides again. Because of his part in Warwick's rebellion, George was never again fully trusted by Edward IV. Eventually Edward could not afford his brother’s discontented though ineffectual plotting and had him imprisoned in the Tower of London and put on trial for treason, charges that have never been completely explained. Some historians believe that George had evidence that Edward IV's marriage was unlawful and that the king was pressured by his wife or her family to end the threat of exposure by executing his brother. The Duke of Gloucester protested loudly against the action. Following his conviction, George was "privately executed" at the Tower. A tradition grew up that he had been drowned in a butt (a barrel of 105 imperial gallons) of Malmsey wine rather than beheaded. The tradition may have originated as a joke, based on George’s reputation as a heavy drinker. He was buried beside his wife, Isabel, who had died in childbirth two years previously. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 11px;">(bio by: Iola)</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "source sans pro" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Clan Macdonald of Clanranald is a Scottish clan. The clan is one of several branches of Clan Donald. The clan chief of Clan Macdonald of Clanranald is designated Captain of Clanranald. Both chief and clan are recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms. Origins of the clan Clan Macdonald of Clanranald descends from Raghnall (d.1207), son of King Somerled (d.1164). Raghnall's eldest son Domhnall became chief of the head Clan Donald while his second son Ruairi became chief of Clanranald. By the early 14th century the direct male line of the chieftainship of Clanranald had died out. John of Islay, Lord of the Isles, 6th chief of Clan Donald inherited lands between the Great Glen and the Outer Hebrides through his marriage to Amie MacRuari, the female heiress to the Lordship of Garmoran and chieftainship of Clanranald. The two distant relatives John of Islay and Amie MacRuari both descended from the first Ranald who died in 1207, son of Somerled. Together they had a son called Ranald (d.1386) who took over as chief of Clanranald and was also expected to succeed his father John of Islay as chief of Clan Donald. However, John of Islay later married Margaret Stewart, the daughter of King Robert II of Scotland and they had a son called Donald who succeeded John of Islay as chief of the head Clan Donald. In 1373, Ranald (d.1386) received a charter confirmed to him by his father John of Islay, Lord of the Isles. The charter was for the greater part of the MacRuari inheritance including the districts of Moidart, Arisaig and Lochaber. Ranald had five sons. The eldest was called Alan (d.1430) who succeeded as Chief of the Clanranald. Alan's younger brother Donald became Chief of the Clan MacDonell of Glengarry. In a bond of manrent, dated 1571, between Angus MacAlester of Glengarry and Clan Grant, Glengarry makes an exception in favour 'of ye auctoritie of our soverane and his Chief of Clanranald only '. This is held by Clanranald of Moydart as an acknowledgment by Glengarry of the Captain of Clanranald as his chief. 15th century Alan MacRanald as he was known died in his Castle Tioram in 1419. He was succeeded by his son Roderick who was a staunch supporter of MacDonald Lord of the Isles. Roderick died in 1481 and was succeeded by his son, Allan Macruari. Allan took part in the Battle of Bloody Bay. Allan was a capable and warlike chief. He led raids into Lochaber and Badenoch in 1491 which culminated in the capture of Inverness Castle. Raid on Ross-shire 1491, Ewen Cameron, 13th Chief of Clan Cameron with a large force of Camerons, joined by Alexander MacDonald of Lochalsh, Clanranald of Garmoran and Lochaber and the Chattan Confederation - who they must have made peace with on a raid into the county of Ross-shire. During the raid, they clashed with the Clan MacKenzie of Kintail. They then advanced from Lochaber to Badennoch where they were even joined by the Clan Mackintosh. They then proceeded to Inverness where they stormed Inverness Castle and Mackintosh placed a garrison in it. The Lords of Lochalsh appear at this time to have had strong claims upon the Camerons to follow them in the field. They were superiors under the Lord of the Isles of the lands of Lochiel in Lochaber, in addition to the claims of a close marriage alliance (Ewen married a daughter of Celestine of Lochalsh). This would serve to explain the quite unusual mutual participation under a common banner between the Camerons and Mackintoshes in this raid. The Clanranald adjusted to the realities of Royal power. On the first visit of King James IV of Scotland to the Highlands, Allen MacRuari chief of Clanranald, was one of the few chiefs to render him homage. 16th century In 1509, Alan MacRuari was tried, convicted, and executed in the presence of the King at Blair Atholl but for what crime is not known. Alan's eldest son, Ranald Bane, married a daughter of Lord Lovat. He obtained a charter for the lands of Moidart Arisaig in December 14, 1540. He died soon afterwards in 1451. He had one son, Ranald Galda, who was fosterd by his mother's relations in the Clan Fraser of Lovat. On the death of Ranald Bane, the 5th chief of Clanranald, the clan resolved to defeat his son's right to succeed as chief. This was because his mother's relations in the Clan Fraser of Lovat and the Clan Fraser itself had joind the Earl of Huntly who was chief of Clan Gordon in fighting against the Clan Donald or MacDonald. The Clanranald people themselves had chosen the next heir, John Moydartach (or John Moydart), Ranald's cousin. However, before this plan could be executed, Ranald, assisted by the Clan Fraser and Clan Fraser of Lovat, marched into Catletirrim and placed Ranald in possession of the lands. The Clanranald, assisted by the MacDonalds of Keppoch and Clan Cameron, then laid waste and plunderd the districts of Abertarf and Stratherrick belonging to Clan Fraser and Clan Fraser of Lovat. They then laid waste the lands of Urquhart and Glenmoriston, property of the Clan Grant and the Earl of Huntly of Clan Gordon. Clanranald , the MacDonalds of Keppoch, and Clan Cameron raised a substantial force in what became known as the Battle of the Shirts against Clan Fraser and Clan Fraser of Lovat. 300 Frasers were ambushed on their march home by 500 MacDonalds. Only five Frasers and eight MacDonalds are said to have survived the bloody engagement. Both the Lovat Chief, Lord Lovat and his son and heir were amongst the dead and were buried at Beauly Priory. Despite this, the Frasers were stronger than ever before within a hundred years. 17th century & The Civil War During the Civil War, the MacDonalds of Clanranald supported the Royalist cause and distinguished themselves when they served under James Graham the 1st Marquess of Montrose. The 14 year old chief of the MacDonalds of Clanranald led 500 clan men at the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689. 18th century & Jacobite uprisings Clanranald fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir during the initial early risings of 1715 where their chief was killed. Clanranald tartan, as published in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842. In the later Jacobite uprisings of 1745 to 1746, the MacDonalds of Clanranald were amongst the Macdonalds who fought on the honoured right wing at the Battle of Prestonpans and the Battle of Falkirk (1746). However, at the Battle of Culloden, the three Macdonald regiments of Clanranald, Clan MacDonell of Glengarry, and the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch formed the left wing. It was probably their feeling of dissatisfaction at being placed on the left of the line that caused the Macdonald regiments to leave the field in disgust at lack of acknowledgement of their honourable position among the highland clans. Castle The seat of the Clanranald chief was at Castle Tioram. Castle Tioram was seized by Government forces around 1692 when Clan Chief Allan of Clanranald joined the Jacobite Court in France, despite having sworn allegiance to the British Crown. A small garrison was stationed in the Castle until the Jacobite Uprising of 1715 when Allan Macdonald recaptured and torched the castle, purportedly to keep it out of the hands of the government forces. It has been unoccupied since that time, although there are some accounts suggesting it was partially inhabitated thereafter, including storage of firearms from the De Tuillay in the 1745 Jacobite Uprising and Lady Grange's account of her kidnapping.

No, it's not OK to throw a party to celebrate The FOOTBALL handoff!<br />
good grief<br />
<br />
anyway<br />
Amy singing "Soft Kitty" with different accents cracked me the hell up.<br />
My cat loves that song.<br />
One has got to admire China's greatest national defense mechanism is the language itself.<br />
Holy Cow and Boy Howdy!<br />
<br />
My last days in the Navy was duty driver for three Chinese officers in late 1990. Florida's winter<br />
wasn't a big deal for a kid from Maryland, so it wasn't too bad, but the hours SUCKED for a night shifter.<br />
Laughter is definitely universal... <br />
They didn't know I was pregnant until the baby kicked and made me giggle.<br />
The one who spoke English asked what was I was laughing at. <br />
I patted my THIRD TRIMESTER baby bump and showed him where she'd kicked me. <br />
He was shocked and hearing him translate my condition to the two officers in the back seat<br />
sent me into hysterics. I was laughing so hard I had to pull over!<br />
<br />
Between their surprise, and the baby kicking that spot... on the right of my belly.<br />
Those poor guys... <br />
I can't remember if they were medics or pilots, but pretty sure they were worried I'd go into labor right there by the road. One of them took baseball catcher stance. <br />
<br />
A pick-up truck chauffeur in 1990. It was the same drab grey Ford we used to rotate the watch around Hangar 1000.<br />
<br />
=====<br />
<br />
Mini-me arrived at NAS JAX at NINE pounds 13.5 ounces.<br />
I was having a C-section I tried very hard to avoid, when the Gulf War (pt one) Cease-fire was called a month or so later.<br />
========<br />
<br />
So anyway... with my preggo shirt sticking nearly straight out by then,<br />
I was a short-timer, out of the Tron Shop and driving these guys to their meetings in a Ford Pickup.<br />
The carrot offered when I joined the Navy was NASA/FAA flying planes, but that was bullshit.<br />
One lesson was about two month's pay.<br />
Constant swing shifts made taking classes impossible<br />
And the average mentality was about 30 years behind reality...so it wasn't much more than<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
THIS needs to happen. <br />

<br />
Does Geiko have an NAACP travel advisory for the West Coast? Please look into it.<br />
George Carlin's comedy was brilliant, and I was very like the woman who teachers listened to, but the truth is I'm singing the praises of the unsung I'm finding now. Thank you Monty Python for your service! (yeah, they were kind of a government anti-conspiracy showing love shared warts and all. I get notes from Geiko, but fascists in Oregon took my license and doctors without borders who USED to offer superior skills, don't if you are an actual brown Mason.<br />
I've been taxed for the gas I'm not using, just like the first hybrids of 1999.<br />
Anyway, I'm no fraud, they were violating the terms of my PASSPORT!<br />
I'm actually MIA from Europe since at least 1965 when I was born in a Levittown outside Ground Zero.<br />
The effective capitol of the west coast is Hollywood, but the rest of the world, are just getting the message. I'd love to know who my lawyer is, at this point in my frustration with the #StolenValor accusation that is literally killing my family in ignorance.<br />
So this is what Libertarians call "winning".<br />
OK I already found drumpf is related to ME, not the other way around because my family birthed the P-3 Orion out of the Civil war (Orson Welles and Orison Grant) and I was born in the neutral zone so this is the BS equivalent of that declaration that Congress and Parliament are broken Labor vs RW Tories. Gaslight = Off, don't come to the states thinking we're the Earth and "Earth Girls are Easy", we are apparently Ferenginar. now<br />
nobody wants to be Frenginar. I'm at least part Klingon and need to drive for a weird condition that probably has a name, but I have no idea what it is. Apparently a genetic defect that gave me the face of a smartass and extra femoral arteries. I thought it was occupational, but it's likely genetic....says a lab technician, not a drunk VietNam vet calling me a mean drunk. I hate these voucher farms. Had I actually BEEN DUI, I'd be flying something that could put out these forest fires, not flushing edema with beer I hate drinking when it's cold outside. Oregon was hunting unicorns. and pissed off one from Culloden Mary MacLeod's Navy veteran / grandaughter. I've got about 8 surnames in this song and some idjit hacked another genealogy website. Yeah, avoid the US for awhile.<br />
UK might be getting over it, but Canada is coming around. IDK how to get what I need to quit this gaslighting torture. I should have been back to Scotia over 40 years ago. OUr genealogy records were blocked and the woman in my story was NOT the town drunk of Waverly, Mo. She was killed by a drunk driver. I think some service guy on leave around Kansas City, MO or the country somewhere. gentrification is genocide. The selectively allowed NAFTA hires in Canada and US based on race. I was one of only women in the ASW billet AX - Aviation Anti-submarine warfare technician. And our rights have been reversed again on the sins of guys over 30 turning our Levittown into a BROTHEL for DC.<br />
The Charter is Broken. This reverses WWI and WWII when a person of color makes use of our civil rights. The other AX named Campbell, ALSO tracks back to Culloden.<br />
SHE WAS MY COUSIN and we thought so during boot camp and A-school. Chick saved my life and I've never been able to TRAVEL or FIND HER and THANK HER.<br />
<br />
NAS JAX Florida was ridiculous. They targeted us for every kind of fraud you could have imagined. for a lousy 10K /year? pfft My Motorcycle Safety course was to last a LIFETIME. So, this creepo cop said I was CRAZY during the government shutdown and I haven't been able to recover since the EDS / HP layoffs after 9-11. <br />
Oh, that was nice getting that out, but all I was doing was driving at night and got lost when my ATT iPad GPS went out and the cop named LUNDY lied like a little bitch. I pulled up behind a traffic stop to ask for directions and it was that OBAMA HATING cop who had SCREAMED my middle name into the parking lot ON PRIVATE PROPERTY because I am a Roman Catholic who would NOT be phished or catphished by an atheist NERD who thought he could take out the Muze of Arcadia Asylum builders Blackwell. <br />
I'm divergent, missed Mensa by two points and my computer is the ONLY thing I drive like this. One Miller Geniune Draft and a half. and I'm watching Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl. Since I was born in DC / Neutral Zone, I had the right to chose my citizenship. <br />
This social experiment failed because we couldn't even do this on whatever the internet was before Barack Obama.<br />
Hey, it's not like I got a Law Degree, even though I aced the crap outta Business Law.<br />
The kids of the Hidden Figures Days are STILL being treated like shit.<br />
The Global class of 1983, were born in the year of the snake and have the right to claim our preference. I'm about 70% European, so what should have my tax bill been?<br />
where auto insurance is a luxury tax. Football was invented in Scotland, btw<br />

<br />
I came home from an excrutiating walk<br />
Checked out a few interviews that got my Scot up<br />
This shuffled up as I was justifiably riled.<br />
Does anyone still think there's something "new" about "New Age"?<br />
it's a cultural Historical wonderful FACT natural life. It's all magic until some nerd comes along, figured it out and makes life much more um- interesting. As I've been cursed thru a few ages I'm feeling a few centuries compressing on me with this fibro flare.<br />
and I can't overstate my frustration in the matter.<br />
snark intended<br />
"The Idiocracy went to AMAZON"<br />
and this IS very creepy.<br />
Soooo<br />
This is loverly. As it turns out, my personal European ancestors were more Scot than Irish.<br />
My mother tossed me around like a sack of potatoes.<br />
"But Bob! (with about three syllables in the middle wining because she'd named me well. After DaVinci's teacher and my baby boomer siblings can't get over the fact I had "Fuzzy Logic" nailed years before the fucking book hit the yippies shack, bc they were waiting to suck the world our from the next generation. My tired is pooped.<br />Levittown was another failed social experiment.<br />The net is just another and the internet was NOT built FOR PORN<br />
Dad would scold my mother for playing so rough or being unable to make her point<br />
through my ginormous diaper.<br />
<br />
"But BoooOOoooOoooob, (Like Laura Petrie),<br />
both hated some words, but that made him giggle like a little fool.<br />I'd sneak in on them. Cribs were my little female dog, that I never got<br />
because my brother went all "Hi Karate" at the "You can have a dog if you don't kill this hamster" carrot.<br />I'd catch them out of "The Establishment" mode, going through the family tree.<br />
and no, he stood his ground, "I ain't BIRTHIN NO MO BABIES" and<br /> Who they callin' NEGRO?"listening to Side B of Brotha Martin's speech.<br />
He had a short affiliation with Black Caucus, but he was too shy for all that.<br />
The man was so adorable, like Mufasa , fishing on the Paseo<br />
He was so blerdy,<br />
(how blerdy)<br />
Sit down Neil DeGrasse Tyson<br />
Daddy couldn't grow a beard, or a mustache for the hair bumps.<br />
"Role Bounce" covered why he didn't go public sector<br />
Ya knoooow.. all that shopping in York Pennsylvania and we didn't know they had our census records from before Maryland was a state?<br />
yeah... that's a big 'un<br />So doing the math, Dad was supposed to takes a CIVICS TEST to vote<br />when he'd gotten his MA in Political Science in 1955-6 at George Washington University.<br />
<br />by age FIVE, I'd pointed out how much GW looked like GRANDMA, but she did her rouge better.<br />
He just shushed me in the museum like I'd let the loudest fart in the Grand Canyon.<br />
A Civics Test to Vote ?<br />
1 drop rule rant.<br />
blood quantum rant<br />
MERITOCRACY rant<br />
Men of Letters.<br />

With 4 college degrees and 5 when our cousin left the Washington Redskins for no reason he will tell us.<br />
Naturally, we make shit up.<br />
On the regular.<br />
Mom fussed at Dad because she wanted him to be a surgeon or an OBGyn, in honor of the Blackwell sisters. He was a HiFi nut, but I had to kick everybody out of the room to hook up the VCR.<br />
<br />
She's like the toughest side of beef that ever came outta Higginsville!<br />
I'm hanging upside down, giggling my ass off ... Dad after Birthin' too many babies "On Guam"<br />
joined the Air Force and ended up programming with DoD for the Hidden Figures, Human Computers IBMs VAX, blah, blah, a bigger blerd you'll never know.<br />
I don't recommend it because he will jack your paradigm with a box of Amway Shoe Polish and put Neil DeGrasse Tyson in a straight jacket babbling to hisself until the end of time.<br />
Frilliant was the word I gave him.<br />
and yes, it is our sacred mission to smartass in whatever way gets the point across.<br />
(cramp)<br />
Colonizers are in an embarrassing circle jerk we just can't seem to um.. damn, he's so DUMB! I think our Choctaw wives from Mississippi who brought the name to Kansas for the Angus and Buffalo and BBQ! *ahem* after the "civil war". We were badass together.<br />
electronic smoke signals are making this convergence pretty hard on me...but it's about freakin' time!<br />
<br />
I've got a clump of guys named "Grant" tangled up at West Point, but I'm guessing, no matter how we slice it, we came here from Culloden after the Crusades.<br />
Don't expect piety from a busted up, US Navy vet who never had any military bearing unless it was called for. I freakin' LOVE the music calling us back, but when Highlander was pimping political upheaval in the discombobulated states OF the Americas, I know Dad didn't want to die here. <br />
Not like this<br />
We understood each other in the end.<br />
and as always, Yay God stuff.<br />
Everybody expected the Spanglish Inquisition.<br />
Wakanda Forever ;-)<br />
<br />
don't ask me to edit... I can't even<br />

Big heads are rolling. I think I'd have been a Jacobite. We founded Catholicism in Maryland, as it turns out. You probably understand the GREAT SIN in having a religion block our records for political and economic gains. Dad was Catholic by the 50s, after serving as a corpman, during the Korean War. Gregorian music soothes PTSD and other stress-related problems common around the Beltway. It's purpose was to marry Eastern and Western philosophies. But we were taxed out the wazoo!<br />
<br />
I'm 2.5 of 3 raised at Sacred Heart (Gaga's franchise) in Maryland after returning from the Midwest, having intentionally cured our melanin / Vitamin D deficiencies..... *ahem*<br />
but it was St. John's that (grand) knighted him in New Bern, North Carolina in 1999. Before that, we were not recognized in the Levittown social experiment we integrated. (EYEROLLs until my eyes pop out) <br />
@thygeekgoddess if you're not following @Twitter right now, cinders and planks are flying all over the place! oy-vey and ufta! <br />
A hard head makes a soft tuchos!<br />
Thanks for the HIStory,<br />
I'm interested in critiques as I work out my HERstory. <br />
(wink, wink, nudge, nudge) <br />
BTW, even our Mennonites, most of our marriage certs have brides at least 19 years old and alt-facts have people marked "deceased" when they merely removed to another territory. Men also lied about their age in order to save their lands, or enlist in the military.<br />
Cowboys were commonly used as the first medics, during the American Revolution and prior, as it turns out.<br />
We go back to House of Kent. and Grant of Ballindalloch and Ballimore<br />
<div>
....and founded New England. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Haughs o' Cromdale
As I came in by Auchindoun,
A little wee bit frae the toun,
When to the Highlands I was bound,
To view the haughs of Cromdale,
I met a man in tartan trews,
I speir'd at him what was the news;
Quo' he the Highland army rues,
That e'er we came to Cromdale.
We were in bed, sir, every man,
When the Engligh host upon us came,
A bloody battle then began,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The English horse they were so rude,
They bath'd their hooves in Highland blood,
But our brave clans, they boldly stood
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
But, alas! We could no longer stay,
For o'er the hills we came away,
And sore we do lament the day,
That e'er we came to Cromdale.
Thus the great Montrose did say,
Can you direct the nearest way?
For I will o'er the hills this day,
And view the haughs of Cromdale.
Alas, my lord, you're not so strong,
You scarcely have two thousand men,
And there's twenty thousand on the plain,
Stand rank and file on Cromdale.
Thus the great Montrose did say,
I say, direct the nearest way,
For I will o'er the hills this day,
And see the haughs of Cromdale.
They were at dinner, every man,
When great Montrose upon them came,
A second battle then began,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The Grant, Mackenzie and MacKay,
Soon as Montrose they did espy,
O then, they fought most valiantly!
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The Macdonalds they returned again,
The Camerons did their standard join,
MacIntosh play'd a bloody game,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The MacGregors fought like lions bold,
MacPhersons, none could them control,
MacLaughlins fought, like loyal souls,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
MacLeans, MacDougals, and MacNeils,
So boldly as they took the field,
And make their enemies to yield,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The Gordons boldly did advance,
The Frasers fought with sword and lance,
The Grahams they made the heads to dance,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
The loyal Stewarts with Montrose,
So boldly set upon their foes,
And brought them down with Highland blows,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.
Of twenty thousand Cromwell's men,
Five hundred fled to Aberdeen
The rest of them lie on the plain,
Upon the haughs of Cromdale.

</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">In French the name Grant means "Grand" either "big or eminent". The Clan Grant can be traced to a Prince Wodine who came from Asia in the 600's and settled in Norway, building a large city. Wodine's descendants remained strong leaders in the area for centuries.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Wodine's descendant "Earl Haakon of Trondelag" was a Viking leader. The Lord High Protector of Norway is known today as King Haakon II.He ruled Norway from 970 to 995. Known for his military strategy and legendary exploits he was given the name of Haakon the Grandt after he defended himself against an ambush armed only with a tree. The clan Motto of "Stand fast" was first associated with Haakon The Grandt.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Haakon's son Hemming married Adelstein, daughter of the first Christian King of Denmark. Though the influence of his wife Hemming decided to convert to Christianity. This decision prompted him to be banished from Norway. They settled in the Viking town of Dub Linh now called Dublin. Hemming and his wife had 6 children, 2 daughters who married and returned to Norway, and 4 sons who at the beginning of the 11th century all moved to Scotland. Their son Andlaw was the progenitor of Clan Grant.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Gaelic name of Granndaich did not grow to Clan strength until the beginning of the 14th century. The home of Clan Grant is located in the region of Strathspey. Situated between two Craig Elachies (large rocks) on the River Spey. The rocks served as wonderful sentry posts and huge fires were kindled on top of them to signal for the clan to gather or as a sign of danger. The words Craig Elachie mean rock of alarm. A mountain on fire is pictured on the Clan Crest. The old Motto of Haakon "Stand Fast" became the Clan war cry.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The oldest home of the Clan Chiefs is Urquhart Castle Built during the Norman period, on the north shore of Lock Ness. For 2 hundred years the ownership of the dwelling changed hands regularly, bouncing back and forth between the British Crown and the Clan McDonald. In 1476 it was taken by Edward 1 and held for the Earl of Huntly. In 1509 King James IV granted keepership of the castle to the "Grant of Grant". For 35 years it served as the lordly seat of the Grants as Earls of Seafield. In the mid 1500's the McDonalds tried twice more to retake the castle. By the 1600's the Grant's had abandoned it. It has been in ruins for over 200 years</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The Grants were strong supporters of Robert the Bruce; with his victory the Grants holdings in Strathspey were secure. This also served to firmly establish them as Highland Chiefs. The surrounding land of Spey provided the Grant's with men and cattle, further establishing them with power and influence. In 1536 Sir John Grant built Castle Freuchie, later renamed to Castle Grant.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">In 1630Matthew Grant, a lineal descendant of the Highland Clans joined the followers of a Rev. John White. Rev. White one of the organizers of the "Massachusetts Bay Company" helped to gather over 1500 people, and 14 ships to become the "Winthrop Fleet". White concentrated on gathering people from the southwestern part of England. Rev. White never left England, but was called the "Patriarch of Dorchester" by his contemporaries. The group that Rev. White gathered chose Rev. John Warham and Rev. John Maverick to be their ministers. These people sailed on the first ship to leave England the "Mary and John" in March of 1630. Matthew, his wife Priscilla and daughter Priscilla were among the 140 passengers on this ship. In May 1630 the "Mary and John" dropped anchor, 70 days after leaving England.</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Matthew and his family remained with the group in Dorchester Massachusetts. He was admitted a freeman there in 1631. Matthew's name appears in the Dorchester town records on 2 Nov 1635. Late in 1635 the group decided to move up the Connecticut Valley to settle Matianuck, now called Windsor. Matthew joined this group leaving his family behind in Dorchester though the winter, not retrieving them until April of 1636. The town records as recorded in 1640 list Matthew Grant and 54 other men as the first settlers of Windsor Connecticut.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Grant a carpenter by trade, was a prominent man in the new colony of Windsor. He held the office of Deacon of the First Church for a number of years, he was the second town clerk, recording all of the town vital statistics, land transactions, town business and church affairs He held this position for 30 years. In 1654 he compiled a 'Book or Records of Town Ways in Windsor. For many years he was the first principal surveyor laying out the town, and was select-man for several years.He was said to be a conscientious man in all of his duties both public and private, which showed in the careful notes he made as recorder. Often adding explanations or corrections. The "Old Church Records" of which Grant was the compiler are invaluable today. Matthew died in 1681 in Windsor, leaving the bulk of his estate valued as 119 lbs to his son John. Matthew was the 7th great grandfather of Ulysses S. Grant.</span></div>

WILLIAM (DE MONTAGU), LORD MONTAGU, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, of William, 2nd LORD MONTAGU (under the writ of 29 December 1299), by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Piers DE MONTFORT of Beaudesert, co. Warwick, by Maud, daughter and heir of Matthew DE LA MARE, was born at Cassington, Oxon, and was aged 17-18 in May 1320, having succeeded his father, 18 October 1319. In September 1325 he was going overseas with the King, being then presumably the King's yeoman. Knighted in 1326. Summoned for service in Scotland 1327. In May 1329 he attended the King to do homage at Amiens, and in June began his successful service as a diplomatist. In July fol lowing he had a grant in consideration of labours daily endured by him, dwelling at the King's side. He was prime mover in the seizure of Mortimer, 1330, and was summoned to Parliament as LORD MONTAGU, 18 February 1331. In April 1331 he accompanied the King on his short secret journey to France; in September he held a great tournament in 'Chepe.' One of the keepers of Somerset 1332, under the Act of 6 Edward III, and later commissioner of the peace. In that year he became lord of Lundy Island by purchase. In 1333 he was in command of the siege of Berwick. From March 1333 /4 to May 1337 he was joint keeper, with Henry de Ferrers, of the Channel Islands. He was with the King in Scotland, 1335 and 1336. In January 1336/7 appointed Admiral from Thames' mouth westwards. On 16 March he was created in Parliament EARL OF SALISBURY. In October he was appointed joint commander in Scotland, and a commissioner to treat for a peace; in December sole commissioner to deal with John of the Isles for a treaty. He accompanied the King to Flanders, July 1338; on 20 September, at Antwerp, he was made Marshal of England for life. He was largely responsible for the negotiations, diplomatic and financial, with England's possible allies and supporters, in 1338-39, including the pawning of the royal crowns. In September 1339 a practical measure of relief, for which the Earl had long pressed, was granted to debtors of under £10 to the Exchequer, to persons sued for escapes of prisoners, &c. In December of that year he remained as hostage to the Duke of Lorraine, while the King returned to England. Soon after Easter, 1340, he and the Earl of Suffolk, in a too adventurous pursuit of the French, were taken prisoners inside the gate of Lille. In August 1343 he went, with the Earl of Derby, on an embassy to Castile, where he is said to have fought the Moors.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
He married (in or before 1327) Katharine, youngest of the 3 daughters of William (DE GRANDISON), 1st LORD GRANDISON, by Sibyl, daughter and coheir of John (TREGOZ), LORD TREGOZ, and in her issue, coheir of her nephew Thomas, 4th Lord Grandison. He died 30 January 1343/4, and was buried at Bisham. His widow, who made a vow of chastity, and had dower in all his possessions, including the £20 annuity, died 23 April 1349.

Sir William de Montacute, 2nd baron, d. in Gascony in 1319 and was s. by his eldest surviving son, William de Montacute, 3rd baron, who, the next year, although in minority, obtained a grant from the king of the wardship of his own lands, and in the 16th Edward II [1323], making proof of his age and doing his homage, had livery thereof. In three years afterwards he was made a knight of the Bath, and had an allowance of robes for th at solemnity as a banneret. In the 4th Edward III [1331], his lordship was deputed ambassador to the Pope, with Bartholomew de Burghersh, to return thanks to his holiness for confirming a bull of Pope Honorius IV, touching certain favours, by him granted, to the monks at Westminster; moreover, before the end of the year, a parliament being then held at Nottingham, he was the principal person who apprehended Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March, in the night-time within the Queen's lodgings there, and sent him prisoner to London, where he was soon afterwards executed for high treason. For this service, Lord Montacute had a grant in tail, to himself and Katherine, his wife, of the estate of Sherburne, co. Dorset, and of several other manors in Hants, Berkshire, Bucks, and Cambridgeshire; part of the possessions of the attainted Earl of March. He was summon ed to parliament from 5 June, 1331, to 29 November, 1336. In the 8th Edward III [1335], his lordship was constituted governor of the Isles of Guernsey, Jersey, &c., and the next year made constable of the Tower of London.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
About this time, Lord Montacute acquired great distinction in the Scottish wars, but at the expense of one of his eyes, which he lost in the campaign. In the 10th Edward III [1337], he was appointed admiral of the king's fleet, westward, and 16 March, 11th Edward III [1338], in consideration of his numerous gallant achievements, he was advanced by charter, in full parliament held at London, to the title and dignity of Earl of Salisbury, to hold to him and his heirs, with a grant of £20 out of the profits of that county. Shortly after this he was joined in command of the army in Scotland with Richard, Earl of Arundel; and pursued his victorious career as well in Scotland as in France for the two ensuing years, when in storming the town of L'Isle, he had the misfortune to be made prisoner with Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk, and conveyed in fetters, amidst the acclamations of the places through which he passed, to Paris, where the French king would have put him to death but for the interference of the King of Bohemia. His lordship and his fellow captive, the Earl of Suffolk, were soon after, however, exchanged. With his liberty, he recommenced his martial career and won fresh laurels on the French soil. In the 16th Edward III [1343], having conquered the Isle of Man, he was crowned King thereof by his royal master. His lordship m. Catherine, dau. of William, Lord Grandison, and had issue, William, his successor; John (Sir), a distinguished warrior; Robert; Sibyl, m. to Edmund, son of Edmund, Earl of Arundel; Phillippa, m. to Roger Mortimer, Earl of March; Elizabeth, m. 1st, to Giles, Lord Badlesmere, and 2ndly, to Hugh le Despencer; Anne, m. to John, son of Roger, Lord Grey.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
This great earl d. in 1343, of bruises received in a tilting at Windsor, and was s. by his eldest son, William de Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury.

Description Birth: Jan. 19, 1544 Fontainebleau Departement de Seine-et-Marne Île-de-France, France Death: Dec. 5, 1560 Orleans Departement du Loiret Centre, France French Monarch. Oldest son of Henri II and Catherine de Medici. On April 24. 1558 he married the two years older Mary Stuart, Queen of the Scots in the Cathedral Notre Dame –de-Paris. He succeeded his father 14 months later. His mother was overwhelmed by grief and retired for some time to her palace. By this time François was considered to be of age and although he had always been sick and a bit mentally unstable there was no regent appointed for him. He choose the two brothers François and Charles de Guise, his wife's uncles, as his advisors. Due to his state of health they were able to reign the Kingdom by themselves. By the spring of 1560 the opposition to the Guise, supported by the Queen Mother was very powerful and threatened to escalate into a civil war. During a hunting trip he got an ear infection which worsened with every passing day and ended with an abscess in his brain. When the Queen Mother saw her sons end coming she pressured Antoine de Bourbon to give up his right to act as a regent for the next King. She also convinced the dying King to sign a statement in which he declared he had always acted alone and didn't follow his advisors. The Guise had demanded such a statement for their agreement to Catherine's contract with Antoine. He was succeeded by his brother Charles IX. Cathrine very successfully acted as Charles regent until 1563.

Notes for James BlackwellJames Glenn Blackwell died in about 1749/50 and as a result we find evidence that he had a third son living with him. The Lunenburg County Court Order Book number 8 on page 385 for the April Court of 1751 mentions that the Church Warden of Cumberland Parish indentured a James Blackwell the orphan of James Blackwell to a carpenter named William Bargamy. The tithe list taken by Hugh Lawson for 1750 shows at that time a James Blackwell was already living with a William Burgamy. Since James was indentured by the court he was still under age at this time which would put the date of his birth at about 1733 to 1735. James was evidently not an outstanding member of society. On page 429 of Order Book 3 for the September Court for 1755 we find the following:<br />
<br />
Cornelius Cowgill gentleman, sheriff of this county brought here into Court the Body of James Blackwell, who hath remained in the jail of this county for the space of twenty days and upwards, on the execution of the of William Uassery, and the said James voluntarily taking the oath by law Proscribed for insolvent Debtors, It is considered that he be forthwith discharged from his imprisonment.<br />
<br />
Six years later he had not changed as on page 156 of order book 7 for 7 October 1761 shows a suit brought by James Gentry against James Blackwell for assault and battery. The case was dismissed.<br />
<br />
Only a few other records are found which mention James Blackwell. In July 1762 a Charles Newman Blackwell is recorded appearing in court to chose James Blackwell as his guardian, and on 10 March 1763 a William Eddins receives security from James Blackwell for faithfully executing the will of a Charles Blackwell.<br />
<br />
On 23 March 1763 the Deed Book shows that James Blackwell sold a tract of land to Abraham Muray and Jonathon Patterson. Finally, on page 151 of Order Book 9 an indenture from James Blackwell to the above mentioned Abraham Maury and Jonathon Patterson is proved. After 1763 James Blackwell vanishes from the records of Lunenburg County, Virginia. Whether he died or moved has never been discovered.<br />

In 1628, the very wealthy Duke of Buckingham built a private fleet of 10 three-masted, armed full rigged pinnaces, each of which carried the name <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>. At least one <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> participated in the English attempt to relieve the Huguenot citadel of La Rochelle during the Anglo-French War. Little information has survived about the careers of the other <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>s and they disappear from the historical record in 1654. Important documents about their finance and construction have survived and made a lasting contribution to our understanding of the Navy Royal during the early 17th century.</div>

The 10 <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>s built by the 1st Duke of Buckingham in 1628 are good examples of the 'war' pinnace, a war ship that was built for several European navies for more than two centuries (c.1550-c.1750). England, the Netherlands, Sweden and Poland deployed the war pinnace on a regular basis. The largest war pinnaces, also known as frigates, approximated England's fifth rate and sixth rate small warships. A few war pinnaces were built to fourth-rate hull dimensions. However, these war pinnaces carried less cannon and had smaller crews than English fourth, fifth, and sixth rates. Fast and maneuverable when compared to a typical ship of the line, when they were under the command of an experienced captain with a crew that retained discipline during battle, many war pinnaces compiled impressive fighting and espionage records.</div>

Ten ships of the name <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lyon's Whelp</em> were built in 1628 by George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, and each was constructed to the same design. Although masted and armed from the stores of the Royal Navy, the fleet was paid for by the Duke. The entire fleet of ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> cost Buckingham about £7,000 and for several years, they were his private fleet. With the exception of the Earl of Pembroke, the Duke of Buckingham was the wealthiest nobleman in England at this time. This ship building program indicates that the Duke of Buckingham could access very significant funds. The Duke spent £7000 in 1628 to build his fleet which in the first quarter of 2011 would be worth £624,120.00.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>3<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>4<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span></div>

Under the Duke's command, the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> were privateers dedicated to increasing his considerable personal fortune. The fleet of ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lions Whelps</em> was not taken over by the Navy until after Buckingham's assassination in 1632, and compensation of at least £4000 was paid to his estate.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 4<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lyon's Whelp</em> was the name given to several British naval ships dating back to the 16th century, including at least two that were not financed or built by the Duke of Buckingham. The immediate predecessor to Buckingham's fleet of 10 <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> was a war ship named <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> that was owned by Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham, who was the Lord High Admiral of England (1585–1619) and who was succeeded by the Duke of Buckingham.</div>

This <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> was loaned to Sir Walter Raleigh and joined the English fleet for the combined Anglo-Dutch attack and expected capture of Cadiz in 1596.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 5<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span> Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex and Sir Walter Raleigh were among the commanders of landing forces while Sir Charles Howard as admiral led the fleet. Victory was swift because the Spanish fleet had been set afire in order not be captured and their land army was badly organized. The Dutch and English sacked and pillaged Cadiz all the while respecting its citizens much to the astonishment of the Spanish. This <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> was sold to the state in 1602, and then repaired at Chatham by the ambitious young shipwright Phineas Pett (see below). The Duke of Buckingham received this <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> as a gift from King James VI in 1625, shortly before the King died. Ratification of the transfer of ownership occurred under King Charles.</div>

Several years ago, John Wassell worked with the Public Records Office in London and England's Calendars of State Papers to research the ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> built by the Duke of Buckingham in 1628. His web page presents the most important information obtained - original period documents from the archive “State Papers, Domestic”.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>5<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span> Each <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Whelp</em> had one gun deck, two masts with a rig that included square sails and lateen. There are only a few contemporary drawings and paintings of English war pinnaces or frigates of the Jacobean era. Details of hull design, armament and rigging are usually inferred using prints and hull designs of warships in the Dutch Navy.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 6<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span></div>

<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
The Duke of Buckingham's project to build 10 <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> began with his warrant to two well-placed friends. Captain Sir John Pennington and Phineas Pett ensured that the ablest shipwrights of the region would be available for the building of this fleet. Their basic design was a warship of 125 tons with both sails and oars ('sweeps'). Ship construction would be done on the banks of the River Thames, particularly at Ipswich and Shorum.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>6<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span> The Lord Admiral was to oversee the “preparation and setting out” for 10 pinnaces of 120 tons each. (Each <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> was built to 186 tons.. see below.) Each ship was to have a tender, and adequate supplies of oars, cable, anchors, sails, canvas and 'all other tackling and rigging to be furnished from his 'Majesties Stores', likewise for ordnance and ammunition. “Their Lordships well approving of the said motion did think fit and order the same accordingly.” The motive for building these ten ships was the 'enterprise of La Rochelle'. These ten ships would be added to the English fleet that would undertake to relieve the siege of the French Hugenot (Protestant) center of power at La Rochelle as imposed by King Louis XIII. Considerable resources must have been available because Phinaeus Pett left this employment at the end of July, which indicates that the ten ships had been completed and launched by that time (~6 months) or shortly thereafter. Thereupon the Duke's fleet set sail for Portsmouth and assignments with the Royal Navy.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>7<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span>>ref group=Note>The group that met at Whitehall on February 27, 1627 was impressive.

Although there are no surviving remains of any of the ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> built by the Duke of Buckingham, it is possible to obtain a portrait of these ships. Dutch marine painters of the period often included detailed examples of Dutch, English and Spanish ships in their paintings. A small oil-on-copper painting by Abraham de Verwer c.1625, that is now in the England's National Maritime Museum, shows Dutch and English war pinnaces saluting each other outside a harbour. The English ship is a good fit to the reconstructed profile for a Buckingham <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> as a three-masted war pinnace with a single gun deck that had eight broadside cannon ports. There is a grating or 'flying deck' over the waist, and Royal Arms decorated the stern. There is another and similar painting of an English single deck war pinnace in the National Maritime Museum.</div>

At least one of Buckingham's ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> saw service with the British Fleet in England's attempt to relieve the Huguenot citadel of La Rochelle. English action in the Anglo-French War began with a siege of the fortress of Saint-Martin-de-Re in 1627. The English fleet was not able to lay siege to La Rochelle until several months later.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Historians are indebted to Jacques Callot who published a series of prints illustrating the English landing on the Isle de Re at the beach of Sablanceau, the Siege of Saint Martin-de-Re and the Siege of La Rochelle.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 7<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span> Callot's technical innovations enhanced the detail in his prints. In his portrayal of the English fleet, it is possible to differentiate galleons, carracks, pinnaces and perhaps shallops becauise each ship type had the same minute iconic image. Peraps one of the pinnaces in these prints is Buckingham's sixth <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>.</div>

Siege of Saint Martin by the Duke of Buckingham.</div>

The besotted King James I assigned a central role to his favorite courtier with the expedition to relieve the stronghold of La Rochelle (Hugenot). England hoped that a success would bring the French Protestants into an alliance against Catholic Spain and provide a demonstration of English naval power that would leave King Louis XIII hesitant and fearful. English King James I had made George Villiers, Lord Admiral of the Royal Navy in 1619. As an important commander during the Siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré (1627) and the attempt to relieve La Rochelle, the Duke of Buckingham revealed a serious lack of understanding and expertise when faced with both army and naval strategic challenges.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré was the first action in this attempt to take La Rochelle and it began when Buckingham's fleet landed troops on the beach at Sablanceau. Apparently Buckingham insisted on an orderly, slow and methodical organization of his army on the exposed beach, even as French troops and cavalry made repeated lightening attacks, emerging from the protection of the sand dunes. About 100 English casualties on the beach were unnecessary. Later, it was revealed that Buckingham's preparations for the siege of Saint Martin included ladders that proved too short to reach the top of Saint-Martin-de-Re's walls.</div>

After three months, Buckingham called off the Siege of Saint-Martin. He retreated to Loix, then sailed home to England, defeated and humiliated.</div>

English strategy correctly viewed the fortress of Saint-Martin-de-Re as a serious impediment to an assault on La Rochelle. With 80 ships and 7,000 men, Buckingham failed to take the fortress city. After three months and a final failed assault on October 27, 1627, he ended the siege and left for England from Loix with a demoralized, disease ridden force of 2,000 men, the survivors of his original army of 7,000 men.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 8<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span></div>

In 1629 a <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> sailed with four other ships from Gravesend on April 25, 1629 for the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Arrived and greeted by Governor John Endecott on June 30, 1629. All ships were armed merchantmen. Eight cannon were listed for this <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>which is the number carried by the Duke of Buckingham's <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelps</em> and most armed pinnaces as well. Is this ship Buckingham's second <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>, diverted for a cross Atlantic run with settlers and provisions to the Massachusetts Bay Colony? A careful scrutiny of the record is not supportive of this conclusion. This <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> is tentatively identified as the 120-ton ship that brought William Dodge, along with the Sprague family and others to Salem, Massachusetts in 1629. The <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lyon's Whelp</em> left Gravesend 24/25 April 1629 and arrived in Salem mid-July 1629, under Master John Gibbs (or Gibbon). It was one of six ships in a small fleet; the others including the Talbot, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">George Bonaventure</em>, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lyon</em>, and a ship called the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Mayflower</em> (though not the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Mayflower</em> of the Pilgrims). This <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>and her sister ships the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Talbot</em> and the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">George</em> carried goods and new settlers to Naumkaeg, the Indian name for the territory settled by England's Massachusetts Bay Company at Salem.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>10<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>11<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span></div>

Final costings for each <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> are believed to have been in excess of the contracted rate, thereby raising the possibility that shipwrights deliberately built ships larger than agreed upon in order to inflate the final invoice. The worse example of this was Peter Pett and the sixth <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Whelp</em>. The Duke wanted each <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Whelp</em> to weigh 120 tonnes, and cost £139.5.</div>

After the Duke was assassinated in 1632, his fleet of ten <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion Whelps</em> was take into the Royal Navy and the estate reimbursed £4,500 according to Captain Pennington who had supervised their construction. Had the fleet been sold to England, as the Earl of Nottingham had done with his <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> in 1602, very likely much more money would have accrued to the Buckingham estate.</div>

Peter Pett (1610-?1672) was an English Master Shipwright, the second Resident Commissioner of the Chatham Dockyard.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; position: relative; top: -0.6em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">[</span>Note 10<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">]</span></span> Phinaes Pett was viewed as the greatest shipbuilder of his time, indeed perhaps the finest to have ever lived and worked in England. The reputation of the Pett dynasty ensured that the sixth <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> was designed and constructed to the highest standards. Her captain was John Pett (1601/2 - 1628), the eldest son of Phineas Pett who died when the ship went down off the coast of Brittany when returning from the La Rochelle expedition in 1628.</li>

Negligence in the powder store led to a fierce explosion that destroyed the seventh <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> amidst action involving several ships from both countries.

Her captain was Dawtrey Cooper in 1632/33, who had been the captain of the seventh <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> when a seaman's negligence caused a fearful explosion and loss of life. During the ninth <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em> service at Ireland, there were continual disputes and near mutinies. She came to an end as a wreck in the River Clyde with the pinnace <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Confidence</em> while taking supplies from Ireland to Dumbarton Castle (which is on the Clyde near Glasgow) in April, 1640. There is an incorrect record that the eighth and ninth <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lion's Whelp</em>s were lost in a storm in 1628 that had wrecked the sixth.

The Lion's Whelps – Introduction, History, Construction, What Did They Look Like? by James Wassell, Feb.23, 2003. Retrieved February 11, 2011. In what follows, 'port' refers to gun-port. “To make a Quarter-deck with two ports right astern and two quarter ports with a convenient Bulkhead (partition) and sight for Steerage. To make eight ports on each side from the bulkhead of the steerage forward and to fit places to row with two oars betwixt each port". "Port" here means a gunport. It is unclear whether the "quarter-deck" ports are at Gun deck level (ie. under the quarter-deck) or are for guns mounted on the quarter-deck.” (Wassell favored the quarter-deck.) “Only two guns were fitted right aft due to lack of space, to be fired either astern or as part of the broadside. This gives a total of 20 gunports, but the practical maximum armament was 16 guns as a similar lack of space in the bows meant that only one gun on each side, the "bowchaser", could be fired either out of the foremost port or from the next port aft. The forward end of the gundeck had to accommodate the foremast, bowsprit, riding bitts and a galley chimney. This description means that there was to be one gun deck fitted with 9 gunports each side, plus two sternchase gunports . . .”</span></li>

This was to allow them carry the proposed armament of 10 guns each. Each ship was to have 2 brass Sakers (6 lb shot) 4 demi-culverins (9 lb shot) and 4 culverins (18 lb shot). This was a remarkably heavy armament for ships of this size- the culverin being the standard lower gun deck armament of the biggest two-deckers of the time. This was achieved by using iron "drake" versions of demi-culverin and culverin. These were lighter than the standard cannon and used a smaller powder charge (an early equivalent of the carronade). They also weighed less than the brass sakers, despite the heavier ball. In addition, 26 iron demi-cannon drakes were added just before the departure of the fleet for La Rochelle! These guns fired a 32 lb shot and three of the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Whelps</em> received four such cannon. However, apparently they were left in the holds of most <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Whelps</em> as the captains considered the decks too weak to support them.”</span></li>

Jovial and good natured to all who supported him, as a typical courtier Villiers was most interested in satisfying his vanity and arranging marriages for friends and those who were politically connected. The Duke had few qualities that would make him an effective admiral of the Royal Fleet. Nearly all of his political and military stratagems proved to be disasters.</span></li>

William Fielding, Earl of Dengbigh, sailed for La Rochelle in April 1628 but returned without a fight claiming that had no commission that authorized him to participate in fighting. The Duke of Buckingham organized the next fleet which sailed under the Earl of Lindsey who was now the Admiral of the Fleet. The Earl of Lindsey sailed in August, 1628 with 29 warships and 31 merchantmen and in September 1628, they attempted to relieve La Rochelle. The English bombarded the French positions and tried to force the sea wall, all in vain. The Earl of Lindsey was forced to withdraw and return to England. La Rochelle surrendered to King Louis XIII on October 28, 1628 and Catholicism in France solidified. England then ended its participation in the Thirty Years War by signing a peace treaty with France in 1629, and with Spain in 1639.</span></li>

Description The Flag Resolution of 1777 On June 14, 1777, the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution which stated: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation."[68] Flag Day is now observed on June 14 of each year. While scholars still argue about this, tradition holds that the new flag was first hoisted in June 1777 by the Continental Army at the Middlebrook encampment.[69] Francis Hopkinson's design for a US flag, featuring six-pointed stars arranged in rows. 13-star "Betsy Ross" variant The 1777 resolution was most probably meant to define a naval ensign. In the late 18th century, the notion of national flag did not yet exist, or was only nascent. The flag resolution appears between other resolutions from the Marine Committee. On May 10, 1779, Secretary of the Board of War Richard Peters expressed concern "it is not yet settled what is the Standard of the United States."[70] The Flag Resolution did not specify any particular arrangement, number of points, nor orientation for the stars. One famous arrangement features 13 outwardly-oriented five-pointed stars arranged in a circle, the so-called Betsy Ross flag. Although the Betsy Ross legend is controversial, the design is among the earliest 13-star flags. Popular designs at the time were varied and most were individually crafted rather than mass-produced. Examples of 13-star arrangements can be found on other flags attributed to Francis Hopkinson, the Cowpens flag, and the Brandywine flag. Given the scant archaeological and written evidence, it is unknown if one design was the most popular during the period.[citation needed] Despite the 1777 resolution, a number of flags only loosely based on the prescribed design were used in the early years of American independence. One example may have been the Guilford Court House Flag, traditionally believed to have been carried by the American troops at the Battle of Guilford Court House in 1781. Other evidence suggests it dates only to the nineteenth century.[71] The original flag is at the North Carolina Historical Museum. The origin of the stars and stripes design is inadequately documented. The apocryphal story credits Betsy Ross for sewing the first flag from a pencil sketch handed to her by George Washington. No evidence for this exists; indeed, nearly a century had passed before Ross' grandson, William Canby, first publicly suggested it.[72] Another woman, Rebecca Young, has also been credited as having made the first flag by later generations of her family. Young's daughter was Mary Pickersgill, who made the Star Spangled Banner Flag.[73][74] It is likely that Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, designed the 1777 flag while he was the Chairman of the Continental Navy Board's Middle Department, sometime between his appointment to that position in November 1776 and the time that the flag resolution was adopted in June 1777. This contradicts the Betsy Ross legend, which suggests that she sewed the first Stars and Stripes flag by request of the government in the Spring of 1776.[68][75] Hopkinson was the only person to have made such a claim during his own lifetime, when he sent a bill to Congress for his work. He asked for a "Quarter Cask of the Public Wine" as payment initially. The payment was not made, however, because it was determined he had already received a salary as a member of Congress, and he was not the only person to have contributed to the design.[76]</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">Elizabeth Blackwell was born August 31, 1815 in Fauquier County, where </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">She grew up on her father's plantation. Purposefully, or unintentionally, as the case may be, Sarah (Welch) Blackwell raised her Elizabeth to be a Lady in the aristocratic sense of the word. She had servants at her beck and call, and never worked about the home as many other girls of her day were required to do. Because of this kind of home experience, Elizabeth came to think of herself as a lady who should not be required to do the conventional chores of a housewife. This attitude led some critics to charge that she was less than industrious. This writer does not share this judgment of her. In </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">his opinion, Elizabeth simply knew that she belonged to a F. F. V., as she had been taught all her life, and she meant to act the part. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">As a girl of seventeen, she fell desperately in love with an attractive And honorable young man not socially acceptable to her parents. Moreover, he had dulled his prospects for the future by deciding to devote his life to the ministry of the Primitive Baptist Church.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">Elizabeth's outraged Irish mother objected violently and forbade her to See her "prince charming" again. So on a still, warm July night, one month before she turned eighteen, she, with the help of her faithful "black Mammy", descended a ladder that had been placed at her bedroom window, met the man of her choice and rode away to Georgetown, D.C. where they were married.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "source sans pro", "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">Elizabeth's whole way of life changed at this point from one of luxury. To one of simple necessities. But she was a woman of strong character, of courage, and of determination, qualities which she inherited from her pioneering forbears and which made it easily possible for her to adjust to her new way of life. She was never known to shrink from, or to complain about the rigors of the life she had chose Joseph Henry Robinson was the thirteenth and youngest child of William and Susannah (Lowe) Robinson of Fauquier County, Virginia. The family was founded by Giles Robinson, who came from England and settled in Lancaster County in 1656.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.3;">Joseph H., as he was affectionately called, was very intelligent, practical-minded, a great reader, a sound thinker, a good public speaker, a charming conversationalist, and an altogether delightful person. To know him was to understand a reason for Elizabeth's choice.</span></div>

TEXAS RANGER John R Massegee<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Name: Mr. J.R. Massagee<br />
Residence: Pauls Valley, Oklahoma<br />
Date of Birth: June 3, 1850<br />
Place of Birth: Tennessee<br />
Father: Richard Massagee<br />
Mother: Mary Brassfield, born in Missouri<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
I was born in Tennessee, June 3, 1850, and my first remembrance of events was in Texas. I was living with my grandfather Massegee. My father died in Texas when I was only a year old, according to my grandfather, and my mother died in the same state when I was only five. I received very little schooling, in the early days in Texas there were very few schools.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
My grandfather lived on a farm in Texas. Before going to Texas he had lived in the state of Arkansas where he owned a small farm. My grandmother having passed away at an early date, this left only grandfather and me, so in 1860 we loaded what belongings we owned into a wagon and, working the only team grandfather owned, a large pair of horses, we left for Arkansas. We passed through the Choctaw Nation and were several weeks making the trip. While crossing the Indian Territory we came upon several small settlements of Indians but the best I can remember we didn't see but a very few white men. There were at that time plenty of deer, turkeys and wild animals. At night the panthers would come right up close to our camp and scream. We would keep the horses staked near the wagon. If we killed a deer any time during the day while we were traveling, we would have it with us until we made camp, then after taking what meat we wanted off of it for supper and breakfast we would drag it about two hundred yards from where we made camp and leave it. In doing this if some wild animal did come near our camp it would not attack our horses as long as it could find a freshly killed deer. We had no trouble with the Indians while crossing the Indian Territory. There were no roads or bridges in the early days. Sometimes we came to small creeks that would be nearly out of their banks and often we would have to wait a day or so until the water would go down so we could cross. There were no wire fences, in some places we came to a small piece of land that would have a log fence around it; this would belong to some Indian for that was the way they farmed then. They would have three or four acres of corn. These patches of corn were called Tom Fuller patches. There must have been very few white men living in that part of the Indian Territory at that time, as I do not remember seeing a white family.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
When we reached Arkansas we settled on my grandfather's place and farmed until 1867, at which time my grandfather passed away. By the time everything was paid off, I had one yoke of oxen and a two-wheeled cart to haul what few things I owned. So in the early spring of 1868 I left for Texas, working the yoke of oxen to my two-wheeled cart. I went back over the same route that Grandfather and I had come over in 1860; I was only eighteen years old and all alone going on this trip. I didn't ride but had to walk, as the cart was a homemade one and at times it didn't look like it was going to carry what few things I had piled on it, but in early June, 1868, I drove my yoke of oxen into Jacksboro, Texas, and found that the Government was building Fort Richardson, about a mile from Jacksboro, and the Sixth U.S. Calvary was stationed there.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Everything then was hauled by wagon train, so I went to work for the Government, hauling lumber to finish building the fort. While I was working on this wagon train hauling lumber there was another wagon train hauling corn to Fort Griffith and this wagon train hauling corn consisted of eleven wagons, one man to each wagon. The boss over the wagon train was named Warren. One morning in the fall of 1868 this wagon train left Fort Richardson, commanded by Warren, and it was loaded with sacks of shelled corn on its way to Fort Griffith. Before the wagon train pulled out it was short one driver and Mr. Warren asked me if I wanted to make the trip. How I got out of making this trip I don't recall, but another man was hired to make the trip and, after seeing what had happened, I was glad I did not go. This wagon train had made one day's drive and camped and early the next morning before it pulled out for another day's drive they were attacked by the Comanche Indians and only five escaped alive and three of the five were wounded. The boss of the train was killed and one of the men was wounded so badly that he could not get away. The Indians tied his feet to one wagon and his hands to another wagon and while he was swinging this way they built a fire under him and burned him in two; after this the Indians took the sacked corn out of the wagons and must have laid the sacks in front of them on their ponies and cut a hole in the sacks and rode in a large circle, and the corn was scattered all over the prairie around where this massacre took place. There were over four hundred Indians in that raid; it was later learned that Chief Big Tree was one of the Chiefs on this raid and according to what he told at his trial, the white man that was burned after being wounded to where he could not get away, had lain on the ground and, with his two-six shooters, had killed several of the Indians and that was why they had burned him, according to Chief Big Tree's story. The men who had escaped met a woodhauler and were brought to Fort Richardson and put in the army hospital. At that time General W. T. Sherman was on a tour of the west looking over army forts and happened to be in Fort Richardson at the time. He was notified of the massacre; everybody was in an uproar over what they had heard. General Sherman ordered out fifty soldiers and headed for Fort Sill and by hard riding this company of soldiers, commanded by General Sherman, arrived at Fort Sill the next day and General Sherman stationed an interpreter near headquarters at Fort Sill to see what could be learned. It was a custom of the chiefs of the Comanches, Kiowas and other Western Indians to gather at this place and tell about different raids they had made. The interpreter didn't have long to wait, as General Sherman arrived ahead of the Indians in Fort Sill. The interpreter heard Big Tree, Chief Satank and others telling about the raid. General Sherman had his soldiers ready for any trouble so when the interpreter reported what he had head, General Sherman ordered the soldiers to round up the Indians. When the Indians saw the soldiers coming the fight started; in this fight several were killed, soldiers and Indians, but Chief Big Tree, Satank and a chief of the Kiowas were arrested, handcuffed and loaded in a wagon and brought to Jacksboro for trial, as court at that time was held at Jacksboro. One of the chiefs was killed before the soldiers had gone but a few miles; this Indiana Chief had a knife on him that the soldiers had overlooked. He cut his hands down so that he could slide the handcuffs over his hand and made a run at one of the soldiers and before he could reach the soldier he was shot down and left there. Chief Big Tree and Satank were brought on to Jacksboro for trial. I was deputized as one of the guards to watch these two Indians while their trial lasted. Court was held two days and when they were found guilty, Chief Satank only sat and grunted but Big Tree made quite a fuss about it; the Judge sentenced them to hang within thirty days. When the interpreter told them what the Judge had said, Satank only grunted but Big Tree said, that an Indian wouldn't do a dog that way, hang it by its neck and let it choke to death, he wanted to be shot and within three days. That night about two hundred citizens got up a petition asking the governor to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment, saying it would be for the best for as long as the two chiefs were in prison maybe their people wouldn't do anymore killing, they would be waiting for their chiefs to return to them; but if they learned that their chiefs were dead a new chief would be elected and new raids and killings would begin over again. So the governor of Texas reduced their sentence to life in prison but in a short time Texas made a treaty with the Indians that if they would stay out of Texas they would send their chiefs back to them. The treaty was agreed on and Big Tree and Satank were returned to their tribe.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Texas organized a state troop in 1873 to patrol the frontier; I joined the troops and served until February 1874. In 1874 I remember two white women were killed by a band of Indians and the company I belonged to rode all one day and one night without unsaddling their horses trying to overtake the Indians but they crossed Red River into the Indian Territory just ahead of us, as we were state troops and could not cross the river. In this way many an outlaw made his escape by crossing Red River into the Indian Territory. Then it was up to the U.S. Marshall to get him.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />

Dad and my brother gave that same advice when I left Levittown.<br />
"Don't cause an international incident!"<br />
at 18 yrs old, my flight was already delayed. I had no idea a kid could divorce their parents!<br />
Dad wouldn't divorce his 2nd wife, soooo<br />
anyway...<br />
<br />
I went to PG Community College, NOT LOYOLA, thanks to the S&L, and all the Reaganomic crap that pushed us out of our homes. We were taxed so high, Dad was paying to work at Ft. Meade. Those Levittown social experiments were not equalizers, they neutralized professional, upper-middle class families! Gerrymandering had my siblings bused from one Levittown jr. high to the other, just when they were making friends.<br />
Our house had our own DEFCON status. The neighborhood was built on an old tobacco farm in Bowie, MD. My folks were Hidden Figures and somehow, I got deleted completely! Born 100 yr anniversary of Juneteenth. Father's Day. SOME people noticed.<br />

Description From: https://glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=2998 Here is the bird that never flew Here is the tree that never grew Here is the bell that never rang Here is the fish that never swam. The City of Glasgow had no single official armorial bearings until the 19 th century. There were at least three official seals in use and a patent was granted by the Lord Lyon in 1866. The emblems had been used in various forms and can be traced back to the seals of the Bishop of Glasgow. The fish was the first to appear, on the seal of Bishop William Wyschard in 1270, to be joined by the bird in 1271, on the seal of Bishop Robert Wyschard. On a later seal of the prelate the tree, or at least a branch, is shown along with the fish and bird. The bell first appears in 1321 on the privy seal of the Chapter of Glasgow. The first seal on which all the emblems are represented together is that of the Chapter of Glasgow used from 1488-1540, but it was not until 1647 that they appeared in something like their present combination on a seal. There were several subsequent variations, the latest being in April 1996, when the present Lord Lyon granted a patent to the city following Local Government reorganisation.</div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Mungo Nutter Campbell</em>, of Belvidere, and afterwards of Ballimore, Dean of Guild 1823, Provost 1824, born circa 1785, died 1862. (13) He was son of Alexander Campbell of Dallingburn, Collector of Customs at Port Glasgow. Collector Campbell was a cousin of John Campbell senior, to begin, and married his sister Elizabeth. Mungo Nutter Campbell, their son, married (as we have seen), first, his first cousin, Helen, daughter of his uncle and partner, John Campbell senior; second, a sister of his brother-in-law, Possil's wife, viz., Amelia MacLachlan, who was a daughter of Donald MacLachlan of MacLachlan, and Susanna Campbell of Park, and was, therefore, like her sister, Harriet, her husband's first cousin once removed. So that Mungo Nutter, besides being John Campbell senior's partner, was his nephew, and his cousin's son, and his son-in-law, and his niece's son-in-law, and his son's brother-in-law, which is abusing the liberty of the subject. To make some amends, his godfathers and godmothers (or some one for them) had equipped him at starting with kenspeckle agnomen, drawn from Miss Nutter, the wife of Uncle Mungo of Kailzie.</div>

But Hogwarts can't help a new player setup a page without being COMPLETE ASSHOLES?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I said they were being ABUSIVE, not RACIST...because they could NOT explain how to get a new player started who happens to have REAL SCOTTISH ANCESTRY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheating nerds deleted the conversation, but all I needed them to do was help me setup my real world BACKGROUND information BEFORE role playing. I think one of them even said they'd been in OPENSIM where we have Hogwarts themed regions, or used to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were having a very interesting conversation about REAL issues involving childhood grief, orphans, etc... but </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
REFUSED to help ME set up and get started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a FAKE "House of BLACKWELL" family tree borking up my BOOLEAN with....but REAL legacies who built the grids can't join in?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'd looked at other pages focused on real Scottish history which I've been trying to put together for DECADES.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I showed the character I wanted to play, IMMEDIATELY responded with .. I don't give a MONKEY'S....blah blah blah..<br />Then deleted the entire conversation and blocked me. I've never seen WORSE mods or customer support. THAT's why real girls won't play with you guys! And that's why you guys SUCK to work with IRL. You can't separate your role playing from the REAL WORLD. </div>

<br />
So they fed their, uh... "first lady" his Dad's book and REFUSE to Apologize to the Obama family for their outrageous LIES about his citizenship.<br />
OH, and they were lying about ours as well. Where we thought Irish, we were Scottish<br />
The Brittish and the German were likely on Dad's side.<br />
<br />
I was being paper-shredded by the VA's fascist "perception is reality" crap and using an outdated CALVINIST "GASLIGHTING" method PROVEN to be not just mental cruelty, but INSANELY evil. <br />
If we are not blood related to the first medical doctors, we're the military doctors and engineers predating the Continental Congress. <br />
Oh.. and there are much cooler people to call Grandad than a president.<br />
I figured it likely we tracked back to President Grant. We have this Uncle Grandad mess where Father and Son passed in the same year. <br />
There was definitely more to being "Because you're a BLACKWELL, dammit", building on a Roman Catholic foundation. <br />
I'd disproved Keynes a few times before I met Big George out in post-1984 Chicago.<br />
I found out I got fired from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee because they mistook me for Spike Lee's "NOLA" character. <br />
So, we're back to A$$, Ga$$ or Gra$$, Nobody rides for free, while we're waking up to a world without my favorite teachers. <br />
Law of something or other is, <br />
You gotta pay your dues before you can sing the blues.<br />
When I asked why they wouldn't embrace wind turbines and other emerging technologies,<br />
The excuse was.. "Donald Trump ......" <br />
<br />
<br />
anyway, now after all that violence and hate, they had the nerve to<br />
have their first woman of the poser<br />
plagiarize "Word is my Bond?"<br />
<br />

House Gop and trumps administration grade<br />

<br />
Emphasis... FUCK YOU, PAY ME<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/XanaduGrid">GamerGate recovery from JOB HOARDERS and Calvinist pigs. (not bacon)</a><br />
<br />
Leading from behind is now... again... "MOVE, Bitch, get out my way!"<br />
<br />
Wooo-Wheeee.. all those broken rules and a new dating website trolling for<br />
new widows...<br />
that app better make it REALLY CLEAR<br />
there can be NO TOLERANCE for ambulance-chasing<br />
or<br />
STOLEN VALOR... already my friend dumped a guy claiming to be in the Army.<br />
...he said some crap that put up my red flag....<br />
I told her to have him show her his military ID and blah blah military blah blahs....<br />
and see what happens.<br />
<br />
she's good after the storm. she finally checked in..<br />
So.. Peter Tosh was murdered today...<br />
The towers fell while we were troubleshooting that Kennedy crash in 1999<br />
and I played Air Traffic controller with a track star from High School who turns out to be my RL cousin.<br />
<br />
I miss her Aunt... FIERCELY.<br />
