The Names of Harper's Ferry.

The armory was originally built in 1799 on 125 acres, in Jefferson county, Virginia, and was purchased by the United States in 1796, the ferry itself was initially established in 1761 across the Potomac River. When the United States purchased Harper’s land after his death in 1782, and put up the armory it was soon found that there would be a need for housing for the workers and their family’s and the need for other conveniences. However there would be four acres the United States could not build on as the acres were put aside in Robert Harper will.

Extract from the last will and testament of Robert B. Harper, deceased, executed on October 1, 1782.

“ It is further my last will, that four acres of land, most convenient around my graveyard, shall be laid off by my executers, and be entirely appropriated to the use of a graveyard, and all my debts, due by bond, note, and book account, and all the rents now due from my ferry, be by my executor disposed of in the best manner towards erecting a graveyard and building a church on said four acres of land, and having a head and foot stone for my wife’s grave, and likewise for my own.”

In February of 1829, the House of Representatives asked for a report from the ordnance department on the number of buildings which have been erected by private individuals on the government lands at Harper’s Ferry. They wanted to know when they were built and by whom, and what authority they have been purchased and how many are yet in possession, and subject to the claims of the buildings and what is the amount demanded for each. What is the amount of rent annually received sine January 1823, for each of the buildings, also for any other owned by the government at Harper’s Ferry.

In the report it was noted that there was three or four buildings erected on the hill between the two rivers that was not in the report because they were built on four acres put aside by Robert B. Harper’s Will. They were Mrs. Beston a female school establishment, three small huts that belong to free blacks who are; William Prim, Adams Jones and Jack Wood, who’s duties are sextons and grave-diggers.

This is part of a report on the condition and occupancy of the land belonging to The United States at Harper’s Ferry, March 2, 1829.

In regard to the authority for purchasing buildings, improvements, &c., I have to observe that it has always been considered the duty of the superintendent to provide suitable accommodations for the workmen employed in the armory. This could only be done by building new buildings, or purchasing’ improvements already made. The latter of these alternatives was, in many instances, the more expedient, from death, removal, change of circumstances of the persons who made the improvements, or other similar causes. It frequently occurs, when good workmen, having married, or from other causes need dwellings, or additions to those previously occupied, that the armory funds will not, at the time, admit of expenditures being made for such purposes. They are, therefore, permitted, when able-to do so, to make the improvements at their own charge, with the understanding that afterwards, when convenient to the armory, they shall be paid for the same, according to fair valuation. The passing of such accounts from time to time, for many years past, by the accounting officers, has also been considered as approving the course pursued in this respect.

It will be seen that no rents have been yet collected upon the lots built on. and occupied by private individuals not connected with the armory. This has resulted from the following state of things, viz: In some of the cases the leases have not yet been executed, and in none have the amounts of ground rent to be charged been ascertained. Diversity of opinion has occurred on this subject; and, on account of .the uncertainty of the superintendent’s power in such cases, it has not been considered advisable to agitate the question in what manner and how far the superintendent can coerce the settlement of claims to the United States on account of this armory, until the question was settled by advice of counsel, or otherwise, as the case might require; for, had the attempt been made, and failed, a vast deal of trouble and difficulty would have been encountered, which, in consequence of the course pursued, has been avoided.

In accordance with your letter of the 23d of last July, requiring me to obtain legal advice on this and other subjects, the questions of difficulty were immediately submitted to Moses T. Hunter, esq.. the counsel usually employed in behalf of this armory, whose opinion was enclosed to you on the 14th of November last. By reference to that opinion, it will be seen that the subject is attended with very considerable difficulty, and the most advisable course to be pursued jot yet clearly ascertained; when, however, such course is determined upon, there will be no difficulty on collecting the rents in arrears, as the parties from whom they are due are entirely solvent. It may be well to remark that each of the grants or permissions given to the individuals mentioned under the head of persons not connected with the armory to build on the public lands are decidedly advantageous to the interests of the armory, and required for the Convenience and accommodation of the workmen therein employed, so much so that it is believed the United States have derived from them benefits equivalent to several thousand dollars, by thus destroying, in some measure, the imposition and oppressive monopoly which before prevailed, and which grew out of the fact that all of the real property at this place, except that of the United States, belonged to a single family, who exacted exorbitant rents from shopkeepers, mechanics, &cc., even sometimes restricting them to particular kinds of business, who were thus, in their turn, compelled to charge the workmen employed in the armory corresponding rates for the ordinary means of subsistence, and thereby, in the end, rendering it necessary for the government to pay for work at prices higher than those for which it might otherwise have been done.

On a former occasion Mr. Calhoun, during the period that he was at the head of the War Department, and to whom this subject was referred, was clearly of opinion that the original purchase of the lands occupied by this armory, from John Wager, left it entirely discretionary with the government whether or not to permit merchants, shopkeepers, mechanics, and tradesmen of every description whatsoever, to erect buildings and pursue their different modes of business, on the public lands here, to any extent that the interests of the armory and the convenience of workmen therein employed might require.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,

Col. GEG. BOMFORD. JAMES STUBBLEFIELD.

They Are American Citizens-War Of 1812.

At the out brake of the war of 1812, many American citizens were caught behind the enemies lines, if you can say the sea had lines. Before the war many men of the United States worked on board British ships, and many citizens were passers on British ships, and when the war broke out they found themselves prisoners of war. While most American citizens were permitted to depart within a reasonable time after the declaration of war. This was not so for many seamen who were impressed and forced to serve against their county by threats by corporal punishment and even with immediate execution.

When the declaration of war came many U. S. citizens found themselves behind enemy lines and were taken from their homes and put on prison ships and taken from their beloved country and taken to foreign lands, never to see their homes or family’s again. Not only did the citizen and soldier have to deal with the British but the Indians as well. If there was any rules to this war the British did not follow them. The enemy talked the Indians into helping them, and a lot of citizens were killed or held for ransom by both enemies. The British give no honor to are soldiers and citizens that fell in battle their body’s were left to rot where they fell. It’s no wonder the enemy started calling us barbaric and a backwards country when we started following their rules of war.

Note. This information comes from Military affairs Vol. I., which is housed at the Library of Congress.

Captain Jeduthan Upton, was the commander of the privateer Brig Hunter, of Salem. He was taken in the month of November 1812, off the Western Islands, by the British Frigate Phoebe, commanded by Captain Hilliard. Captain Upton and his first Lieutenant Mr. Wayne were taken to Plymouth in England and immediately put in Mill prison. There they were confined for three or four months. In the month of March, they were taken on board the prison Chatham. At the end of April, they were still there and in a worse situation then had been while in Mill prison.

William Nichols, was a commander of the private armed brigantine Decatur, out of Newburyport and was captured January 18, 1813, by his britannic majesty’s frigate Surprise, commanded by Captain Cochran and carried to Barbadoes. Captain Nichols with the officers of the Decatur were paroled. Then about two months after their arrival, the britannic majesty’s frigate Vesta, arrived in Bardadoes. Soon after its arrived Captain Nichols was arrested and put on a prison ship in close confinement where he was not at liberty to speak to any of his officers or any other American. His place of confinement was four feet in width and seven feet in length. He was there thirty-four days then taken on board his majesty’s ship the Tribune, and taken to England.

These men were being held on a prison ship, in and about Nassau, and other ports. They were allowed six ounces of bread, three gills of rice, eight ounces of the worst beef with bone and all the water they could use. They are guarded day and night by ten or fifteen savage Africans who show no humanity. They are confined every evening at sun-down, and not released until sun-rise.

These men were being held at Milville prison and Halifax, Nova Scotia as prisoners of war, the year was 1812. When their ship struck their colors as a sign of given up, they were fired upon by cannon and muskets fire, some of the men were killed. After they were boarded by their captors some men were struck and severely wounded with cutlasses without the least of any provocations. They were robbed of everything even of the necessary clothing, as they were going from ships to prison, they were not permitted to take any of their clothing or baggage, it being stated it would be sent on a head, of course they lost everything. Some of these men and other men from other ships were marched thirty and some sixty, and others one hundred and sixty miles, over miserable county. Many were forced beyond they strength, and half starved and many were in irons. They were allowed to eat per day one pound and a half of bread, a half a pound of poor beef with bones, one gill of peas and one -third of an ounces of salt. They were without clothing and no money for getting any, and with winter coming on many will never leave, at this time there were twelve hundred in Milville prison. These men were:

1. Joseph Starr, of Boston. 2. Frederick Johnson, of New York. 3. Robert McKearny, of New York. 4. Richard Rhea, of New Jersey. 5. George Batterman, of Boston. 6. John Hazelton, of Boston. 7. William Dyer, of Boston. 8. James Trask, of Boston. 9. Solomon Norton, of Boston. 10. Alexander B. Latham, of New London. 11. Darius Denison, of New York. 12. Eastwick Pray, of Portsmouth. 13. William Temold, of Portsmouth. 14. Fobes Dala, of Portland. 15. Charles Thompson Jr., of New York.

As we have seen many of our citizens who made there living at sea would faced many hardships. They were be forced by death or imprisonment if they did not join the British navy and take up arms against their home land, many would rather face death with honor, then take arms up against their beloved land. Here on the home land the avenge citizen would face many hardships as well. The sufferings of our citizens would be grate as our battle for freedom went on. The cost for freedom was high, not so much in money as the avenge citizen had very little, but in the lives these family’ would lose. Many fathers, brother and sisters, and mothers would fall in battle not all would fall on the battle field. Many would face death in their homes and in their own yards. Freedom had a high price and our ancestors were willing to pay for it with their lives. The high price for our freedom is still being felt today, as many family’s are still willing to pay this high price, to keep this freedom that our ancestors was so willing to give their lives for.

It was not only the towns but the out posts and the farms in the out laying country sides as will.

African Americans Sold In North Carolina 1777.

Although there will be only first names on these African Americans, their owners names will be given in full, this may help you find a family member from the past.

In the latter part of 1776, several of the people called Quakers residing within the county’s of Perquimons and Pasquotank, in the State of North Carolina liberated their negroes; as it was then clear there was no existing law to prevent their so doing, for the law of 1741, could not, at that time, be carried into effect, and they were suffered to remain free until a law passed in the spring of 1777, under which they were taken up and sold, contrary to the bill of rights recognized in the constitution of the State.

In the spring of 1777, when the General Assembly met for the first time, a law was enacted to prevent slaves from being manumitted, except meritorious service, &c., to be judged by the county courts or the General Assembly; and ordering that, if any shall be manumitted in any manner, they be taken up, and the county courts within whose jurisdiction they are apprehended, order them to be sold.

Marine Corps Deserters of 1820-1826 P. 2

As you have seen from the sentences from page one the sentences were hard, and will be the same for these men on this page. Many young man were looking for adventure and what better place then the high seas. Only to find the rules hard and the work very dangerous and soon found this was not the kind of adventure they were looking for. A few men singed up only to get to one place to other then would jump ship. As you look over the dates of enlistments you will see a lot signed up in December and January these were some of the coldest months of the year. I can not prove it, but I believe some men signed up only to have a place out of the cold. You have to remember there was little work and very little money so many men had no place to go. What better place to go then on a ship were there was free food and clothes, a warm bed and some pay.

Note. This page will cover the names beginning with M. through Y, you will also note that the count will start off from where it stop on page one.

Note. The information of these two pages talks a lot about being drummed out of garrison or service to the ( Rogue’s march. ), I have hear of this march before but never heard the music, so I look into it and found this great site that is full of Revolutionary Music. Two of the songs that are played at this site is the ( Rogue’s march ) and the ( Tattoo .) which are talked about on these two pages. http://www.fifedrum.org/crfd/CRFD6.htm
