Many of the papers of William Whipple were intermixed with the Langdon papers. An attempt was made to separate them but some cases of misidentification are possible. Additional materials received in were arranged by box and folder divisions established by the original version of this inventory.

His father being practically without property, his early educational advantages were limited. He had, however, some school privileges, as did his brothers and sisters.

George Whipple

Our horses has stood it tolerable well. My horse got gravel, but is better. Christian's horse has a very sore back. It is a little uncertain whether we will be home agin Christmas. The roads are verry bad traveling, there has been a great dele of raine. I have seen a heap of fine country. They were all well; I was glad to see them. McCutchan's family are all well. If ever we live to get home and see you I can tell you a good deal, and hope it is the Almity's will that we will see each other again in this world.

No more, but remain your affectn husband,. I give below a number of letters found among his papers. In addition to the bits of family history they contain, they are interesting in giving something of the conditions of a hundred years ago. The following are from Capt. Fanny wants as much of the wool sold as will get as much cambrick as will make a spread and as much musling as will line it.

If you can, get it five quarters wide. I want you to keep old Tom in the meadow, as he ain't worth anything in the field. Fanny wants Salley to give Betty a little of the molases and Patsy Henderson some. I want you to send me one side of harness if you can get it without paying money. I don't care about it being very heavy, and send me a Teecattle and pay for it out of the wool, if you can get it at Waynes Borough.

I have been wanting to hear from you and know what sort of a crop and what prospects of raising money for Bell this fall as I am in nead and what sort of a colt the sorl mare has and how everything is doing. No more, only let me know how the meadows is. Don't be so particular about not having anything to rite you certainly can always have something to rite. I take my pen to write a few linese to you to informe you that we are all injoying good helth. Jane haste intirely recovered her helth. I have nothing particular to wright to you, but that our friendship might live and not dye is my object in writing to you for you ever appeared to me as though you was a brother, it woode gratify me very much to here perticularly from you as we have never herde only Mr.

Pilson wrote to Alexander that he thought that it would be very uncertain whether ever you woode come to this Country or not. I was afraid that when you was here, that you was not well enough pleased with the Country to come to live in it, though you had not a very good chance. I thinke that if you were here at this season of the year and had more time, you woode be better pleased, it would be a graite gratifycation to me if you ever moved anywhere that you would come to this part of the Country, altho I have never incoraged a friende that I have to come to this Country paste their owne inclination for I often wonder how it is that we are here ourselves, but I believe that whare ever people have to go to hav there bodyes deposeded there is always a meanes to take them there.

I have often thought my Friend how much I lemented after my friends and how often I woode walke to the perere and looke as farre as I could see homewarde but oh I have got something to lement for now. I have often reflected on that, but my Friende these Providential thinges let it nevei be so harde with us we are not oblidged to give up to it, I was not so much surprised lately as I was when I herde of the death of two such blooming youths as your sister and cousin.

I am deapely and senseably afected for all your loses and particular for youre aunte, who raised her from a childe and who felte to her as tho she was a daughter, but all that we have to comfort us in this life is that we would wish to hope, that our lose is gane to our neare and deare reletives. The Scripture tells us that we are not to morne, as those that have no hope.

I muste conclude my letter. I send my love to you and cousin Jane, to youre uncle and aunte Fulton and your uncle Mitchel and aunte Mitchel and all the children and to Mr. Mathew Pilson and the reste of the family. Youre Uncle Mitchel watched the post office for some weeks after you got home for a letter. I woode like to have a letter from you.

He must have been a kinsman, as Andrew McClure made his home with them:. I now take this opportunity of writing to you to let you know that I have been well since I left that country; hoping when you receive these few lines you may be enjoying the same state of health, as for me to give you a full estimation of things I have seen during my absence from you I will not attempt, for I have not time, but when I come home then we will talk things over in full.

I am highly pleased with this country and some parts of Kentucky, and much better pleased with some of the people. John, I tell you I think if you had come along with me out here we would both married before we would leave this country and in the best of familyes. There are one or two little girls here that seem to me that one of there names must be Coursey. John, I only wish you were here to go with me to the quiltings and visitings I have to attend to here with so many sweet little girls we would live fast I know. Tell Sarah that I heard of some of her relations out here and will go and see them if I can possibly.

Give my compliments to my father's family and Wm. Hutchison's family and John Diddle's family and all enquiring friends and so remain your friend and well wisher. Sir, after my best respects to you and yours, I drop you this line to let you know that I am still able to kick yet and have been kicking since I came home from Virginia. I have had my health tolerable well though somewhat unfortunate the last of February or the first of March. I had like to of got my leg broke by hawling shingle bolts in the waggon and throwing the bolts out of the waggon I had like to of threw myself out with one and to of broke my back.

I thought the Bachelors Nunnery would soon come to a close for I thought I was to kill myself. But I have got able to kick again. I have put up a large barn, or at least it is 60 feet long by 25 wide and upward of 30 high, you may call it what sise you please, I have got everything redy to nail on the shingles. I want to put up a set of corn cribs as soon as I finish my barn, I have got the logs cut and this will be the fourth building that I have put up since I came home, or to the Bachelors Nunnery. I have and will have fifty or upwards acres of land opened and under fence this summer.

I have had four hands working since last faul till last weak. I paid one of and sent him to work for his family, another went to bed last Sunday evening as usual and was a corp by three o'clock the next morning, his wife says she knew nothing was the matter with him till he was strugling his last. Tell Jane that I am coming to help her to eat that big cheese for I expect it will be a fat one and I am truly fond of good things and sweet things and true things. But sour things and faulse things I bid them good night. I suppose I might with propriety if report is true say Betsy child what are you doing.

But I say keep a kicken for the blackest day has not come yet.

I must leave this off and give you a history of our markett. But I had no wife nor child to feed and in course I did not want to buy.

I am yours with respect. Now, you will not forget to answer this line by the next post if you please and give me a full detail of all transaction that has occurd or taken place, since I left that part of the world. I expect to see you all by the first of August next, if I am spared. I have rote to Phebe and Mathew Pilson and have received no answer since. I suppose they think me not worthy of their attention. But you can tell them I am fat raged and saucy as usual and still true hearted and don't care for the purtiest——".

In addition to his farm of acres in Augusta Co. Given under our hand and seals this 10th day of September I have not yet been informed, whether the contract between yourself and Mr. Dawson had been completed and having no instructions what to do, have on my own responsibility let both of the places out on the same term for the present year, that you rented them for: Tom Orpurd takes hoth. I have not received much of the rents yet. Samuel Houston died last fall was a year, his appraisers are unsettled.

Ephraim Dawson died last Winter, his estate will not seen be settled. So that all I shall shortly receive will be what I get from Orpurd who has paid for the first year and says he will soon pay the second. Cousin Jane requested me to write to you when I returned home and let you know how she was. I left the White Sulphur on the 23rd; she was then as well as could be expected.

The water had a tendency to sicken her a good deal when she first used it, but after a few days it had a better effect. There was a great crowd, persons, and many new arrivals. My mother and her wish my father to start so as to be there by the 13th August; they were well situated and appeared to enjoy themselves tolerable well.

You must not forget to write to her once a week as she requests it of you. She had not heard a word from any of you from the time she left home. I wrote to Matthew Pillson a few days before I set out, which news you have received. She said that she would be glad that Matthew would go out and spend a week with them. I would be glad if he could go. We are all well. John Beaty was a friend and neighbor. At my father's request I write you a few lines.

We all landed in Ia. The old man had to stop in Richmond, about four miles in the State, partly on account of bad health and partly on account of bad roads and shackling teem. His bay filly failed before we got to Lewisburg and he swoped her off; we then got along tolerably till we came into the Ohio where the roads became bad. The rest of us went about 40 miles further and stopt in Henry County, the roads being so excessive bad that we thought imprudent to venture.

We met with your brother. He removed from Tennessee and is keeping public house in Frankford, in Clinton County, We breakfasted with him. His family is well. I have settled about 18 miles west of Eichmond in a small village and have purchased some property. He is now lying verry low and not much hopes of his recovery. He was verry much exhausted with fatigue when he stoped, but had recruited verry much untill the cold weather set in about the last of Nov.

Hindmad, of Richmond, is his physician, but does not entertain much hopes of his recovery. I was to see him a few days since; he was a little better, but has no hope, or but verry little, of ever being better. He requested me to write to you and let you known his situation. He wishes you to fetch your deed out with you, and also Alexander's and Thornton's and let William sign them all here, as he thinks it somewhat doubtfull whether Wm.

I believe I am thro. Give my respects to all my old neighbors. Rowan that I will write to him shortly. My respects to your good lady and all the family. In politics, John McClure was an old line Whig, strongly opposed to Secession, but when the crisis came gave his five sons to his State, two of whom paid the price in blood. In appearance he was six feet, a man of great strength and endurance. In early life he made frequent trips to Scottsville and Richmond, marketing his produce, either driving his six horse wagon in person or accompanying on horseback his negro driver.

The following obituary written by his lifelong friend, Rev. Lee to its presidency. A peacemaker, a benefactor—the poor man's friend and the idle man's dread. He was the Christian and gentleman of olden times—holding both sacred and honor bound. As he lived he died. We all say, a patriarch has fallen. He was a Presbyterian, and true to its code—a lover of all good without blushing to acknowledge it.

A husband, father and grandsire, as devoted as these lofty names imply. He travelled to the tomb with manly bearing, where. John McCue about the year ; removed her membership to the Presbyterian Church of Bethel, being a consistent member for near 66 years. She died in perfect peace in hope of a glorious immortality. The following obituary appearing in the local papers at Gazelle, California, gives the outline of her life:. As a slight tribute to her memory, and an offering of esteem to her many friends and relatives, on this coast, as well as in the Eastern and Southern States, we will give a brief sketch of the life of this most exemplary woman.

Harris was a native of Virginia; she was born June 12th, , and passed peacefully away May 10th, , aged nearly 72 years. She was the oldest of eight children, of whom but one, the youngest, survives her. Miss Mary McClure was married when twenty years old, to Mr. In they moved to Illinois. Harris was the mother of eight children, only five of whom survive her; four of this number are now residing in this country, near Gazelle, respectively, Mrs. Harris accepted the bitterness of sorrow and loss with which her life was for many years overshadowed with patient fortitude.

Her's was one of those rare sweet natures, endowed with a Christ-like spirit, which shone out with a steady light, illumining her daily life of care with a mild radiance, almost pathetic in its gentle constancy. When her youngest child was but four years old, her husband suddenly dropped dead in the street, of heart disease, and after rallying from this first great shock of grief and affliction, she took up the burden of life with heroic grace.

Her eldest child—she whom we know as Mrs. Life Edson—being at that time only sixteen years old. Harris raised all her family of eight, to be good and useful men and women. Three have since died, two being snatched away as suddenly as was their father. In addition to the care of her own family she raised two of her sister's children, a niece and nephew, their mother dying when they were very young. The niece, Miss Stuart, was with her during the past year. She, with Mrs Harris' own children, were untiring in their devotion and care, doing everything in their power to make the last months of her life as comfortable as possible.

She was always very happy with her children, who have all done credit to her careful training, and who awarded her to the full, that meed of honor and praise, justly due—if not in words—in that daily manifestation of love and respectful tenderness, so grateful to a faithful mother's heart. Harris had been a member of the Presbyterian Church since early girlhood. Her's was a true Christian life, and she has no doubt found as many loving friends awaiting her in that bourne across the mystic river, as she has left here to mourn her loss.

With this assurance, let us not mourn, but rather rejoice with her in the sweet summons: Enter now into the joy of thy rest. McCorkle, pastor of Bethel Church, officiating. James, died in Iowa: Julia Page; left two children, a Minnie, who d. Lightner, of Augusta Co. The following is from The Telegraph, published at Dixon, Ia. Sarah Lightner, wife of Samuel Lightner and daughter of Mrs. Harris, of Guthrie, Ia. This sad intelligence brings sadness to a very large circle. So well known in this vicinity, her bright and lovely character rendered her a favorite among her friends.

She was married last December at Guthrie, Iowa, and thence removed with her husband to Virginia, where she had a pleasant, happy home. For a number of years she was a member of the Presbyterian church at this place. She was an earnest, warm-hearted Christian, and she died as she had lived. Many hearts go out in sympathy to those dear friends who, in her loss have been so suddenly and deeply bereaved. George Washington McClure , born Jan. A conservative farmer and highly respected by his neighbors.

He was less aggressive and successful as a business man than his father, but resembed him in his integrity and uprightness in the various relations of life. In personal appearance he was more like his father than any of the sons, standing six feet with broad shoulders, a man of great physical strength. The following brief obituary notice appeared in the Central Presbyterian at the time of his death: McClure, in the 68th year of his age. He had been a member of New Providence Church for many years and was one of our best citizens, and was beloved by all who knew him.

Having a wife and three small children, he did not enter the service at the beginning, but provided a substitute. He later enlisted, a private in Company H, 52nd Va. Regiment, and served until taken prisoner at Petersburg, Va. In this battle he fought beside his brother James.

It is an instinct of nature to recall the past. As we draw the veil aside, blessed memories rise up before us. Now, joyous in the bygone—now sad, that they are gone forever.

To name the subject of this obituary fills the heart with emotion and the eye with tears. She was all that we moan when we speak of woman in her loveliest sense; a Christian without pride, a wife without discontent, a mother without a frown, a neighbor without an enemy. To forgive was the attribute of her nature; to make every one happy was a law of her heart. As might be expected, she was loved and mourned by all. Her disease was consumption which, though protracted, was tenacious of its claim.

At the decease of her amiable husband, she, with two orphan children, were taken into her parents' house, where each member bore a part of her grief, and brothers and sisters drew around her with double affection. But there she must not stay. She is hurried from a kind father's house to the home of a heavenly Father. Now it is that afflictions join hand in hand. The father and daughter enter upon the same pilgrimage as if by agreement. Daily they exchange calls with feeble step till flesh and heart fail and she sleeps to wake no more.

Two lovely children mourn her loss and numerous friends and neighbors attended her to the tomb. She was a member of the Presbyterian church at Bethel, and there rests from every toil. Here's is eternal fruition—ours to mourn.

He married April 5, , Mary Bumgardner, Aug. James Alexander McClure , born Oct. He was mortally wounded in a charge on Fort McGilvray. The story of his life has been written as follows: McClure, of Augusta Co. Brought up by pious parents in the ways of wisdom and that virtue which ennobles our nature, his whole life was a verification of the promise made to those who train up their children in the way they should go; and like the young man our Saviour loved, it might almost be said of him, that he kept all of the commandments from his youth up.

Person Page 101

In the formation of a character so correct as to be almost faultness, the governing principle was not fear, but love—the love of God, of his Saviour and of virtue. Consequently when duty called he hesitated not to go, though it were to the mouth of the cannon where he fell. In every station and relation in life he acted well his part where all the honor lies; but beyond all this there were distinctive characteristics that marked the man and caused him to be respected and beloved by many of his fellows.

His disposition was frank, cheerful and happy; his benevolence disinterested, his generosity whole-souled and free, while meanness was an utter stranger to his nature. To him there was a luxury in doing good; and to crown all his faith in Christ was a single childlike simplicity, beautiful to him who witnessed it, and exciting the feeling 'of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. With such a character, it is not necessary to say that he was all a neighbor, a friend, a father, a husband could be.

It was in these relations that his modest unobtrusive virtues shown most brightly and here the blow falls with the most crushing weight. Carmel Church, on receiving the mournful intelligence that James A.

McClure, a member of this body, had fallen on the battlefield mortally wounded, and soon after expired, in order to express their high appreciation of his worth, and pay an humble tribute of respect to his memory, adopted the following minutes: That we accept of the affliction as coming from God, and bow submissively to His righteous and sovereign will.

Like his father and brothers he was a farmer, and was settled in his home at the beginning of the war. The following obituary notice, published at the time of his death and written by Rev. Hence we record for the future reader the name of John P. Nothing brilliant accompanied his chilhood and youth except a strict tenacity for truth and honesty.
