At the beginning of the 19th century, industrialization, urbanization, and immigration contributed to the explosive growth of New York City. Accompanying this growth was a burgeoning underclass of convicts, the poor, the sick, and the insane. A policy of institutionalization was adopted to manage this group. In 1828, New York City purchased an island in the East River from the Blackwell family to build a jail and an asylum. When it opened in 1839, the asylum on Blackwell?s Island was New York?s first publicly funded mental hospital and the first municipal mental hospital in the United States.
It was designed to be a state-of-the-art institution based on the theories of moral treatment. Fundamental to its success was an organized and orderly environment. Although in the past, little effort was made to differentiate between types of mental illness, according to the tenets of moral treatment, such distinctions were imperative. As Dr. John McDonald, a physician involved with the design of the new asylum, wrote, ?The indiscriminate mingling of the mild and furious, clean and filthy, convalescent and idiotic, need only be witnessed to be deprecated.? He continued: ?Classification is now justly considered by almost all persons of experience of the first importance in the treatment of insanity? (1). He suggested that patients be divided into four specific classes: the ?noisy, destructive, and violent,? ?the idiots,? ?the convalescents,? and an intermediate class for ?those in the first stages of convalescence and such incurables (who) are harmless and not possessed of bad habits? (2). In addition to classification, moral treatment emphasized the human rather than beast-like nature of the insane. The design for the new asylum was free of barricades and iron bars and allowed for easy access to the outdoors.
But this model asylum was never built. Because of financial constraints, only two wings were completed and almost immediately proved inadequate. Even more disturbing, convicts from the nearby penitentiary were used as guards and attendants, so that in the words of Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, the patients were ?abandoned to the tender mercies of thieves and prostitutes? (3).
Thousands of the city?s poor mentally ill were admitted to the asylum between 1839 and 1895, and the press?s fascination with the institution and its inhabitants grew intense during those years. Local newspapers, including the New York Times and Harpers Weekly, provided weekly running accounts of the asylum?s most intriguing characters. Some achieved celebrity-like status, such as the elderly woman known as ?Mrs. Buchanan.?
Most people have heard of Mrs. Buchanan. She is one of the incurables?a poor old lady?Scotch I imagine?who has been an inmate of the lunatic asylum for years. Her delusion has been described in the papers. She believes she is the wife of the President and discharges her conjugal duties with such success that she bears a large family to the President. Strange to say, the offspring of her lofty amours are invariably cats. I had the honor of stroking the back of President Buchanan?s eldest son who purred as though his sire had no political difficulties to disturb his repose. (4)
Newspapers were filled with grim tales of madness, mistreated patients, wretched conditions, and wrongful confinement. In 1879, an article titled ?Tormenting the Insane? appeared in the New York Times describing appalling cases of neglect. In 1887, Elizabeth Cochrane Seamen, aka Nellie Bly (1866?1922), a journalist for the New York World, feigned insanity to gain admission to the asylum on Blackwell?s Island. She wrote a series of shocking articles for the newspaper and a book. She described it as a ?human rat-trap? that could drive the sanest people crazy (5).
In the wake of the scathing report, administrative changes followed, but the image of the asylum as a human rat trap lingered. The half-built, overcrowded, convict-supervised asylum was a symbol for the unrealized goals and the blatant failures so extensively covered in the press. The New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell?s Island closed in 1894. All that remains of it today is a domed octagonal structure that once stood as the centerpiece of the institution.

Bibliography
English anatomist, physiologist, and surgeon, born April 3, 1764, London; died April 28, 1831, Enfield.
Biography of John Abernethy
John Abernethy was the son of a merchant. He went to school in Wolverhampton, but in 1778 left school to go to London. In 1779, only 15 years of age, he was apprenticed to Sir Charles Blicke (1745-1815), a surgeon who was associated with St. Bartholomew's Hospital and had a large practice. Since no lectures in anatomy were held at the St. Bartholomew's at the time, he attended lectures by Dr Maclaurn and Sir William Blizard (1743-1835) at the London Hospital. He soon became their assistant, while also attending the lecture of the famous Sir John Percivall Pott (1714-1788) at St. Bartholomew's, and by John Hunter (1728-1793).
When Pott retired he was succeeded by Blicke. In July 1787 Abernethy took over his post as assistant surgeon, and became teacher of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and surgery. Much of his importance as a teacher lies in his recognition of the importance of comparative anatomy in the study of anatomy and physiology.
Because of lack of suitable rooms he had to give his lectures outside the hospital, in his own rooms. Because of the large number of students who flocked to his lectures, an auditorium was built for Abernethy at the hospital in 1790 and 1791. He thus became the founder of St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School. He is also credited the establishment of the excellent museum of pathological anatomy at the hospital.
The early 1790's was a busy period for Abernethy, as he did anatomical works and conducted physiological experiments besides his work at the hospital. In 1793, the year of John Hunter's death, his first article was printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Abernethy was a devoted pupil and disciple of John Hunter whom he succeeded at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
In 1813 Abernethy became surgeon at Christ's Hospital, a position he held until 1828, shortly before he abandoned his practice. In 1814 he was appointed professor of anatomy and surgery at the Royal College of Surgeon, and, in 1815, after 28 years as assistant surgeon, he became Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
Abernethy was now at the peak of his career, running an extensive practice and still an exceptionally popular lecturer. His lectures in anatomy, physiology, surgery, and pathology were considered unequalled. They were, in fact, so popular that they were taken down by fast writers and published in the Lancet in 1826 and 1827 - whereby the publisher was sued by Abernethy. Complying with student's wishes, he published Lectures on anatomy, surgery and pathology... in 1828 and Lectures on the theory and practice of surgery in 1830. Although he was a generous man he deliberately assumed a brusque manner with his patients, assuming it would inspire their confidence.
Abernethy was a skilled surgeon. Continuing Hunter's work on ligation, he became the first to tie successfully the external iliac artery for aneurism, and in 1798 he ligated the common carotid. Like great colleagues as William Cheselden (1688-1752) and John Hunter, however, he only operated when absolutely necessary. Over the years his reluctance to take up instruments increased, and in 1827 he laid down his post as surgen at the St. Bartholomew's, and in 1829 retird from his chair at the Royal Colle of Surgeons. He then moved to Enfield, where he owned a house, and died there on April 20, 1831, at the age of 67, after a protracted period of illness.
His publishing covered a wide field. One of his books concerned the anatomy of the whale.
A selection of quotations:
«One day, for example, a lady took her daughter, evidently most tightly laced, a practice which we believe mothers now are aware of is mischievous, but scarcely to the extent known to medical men. She complained of Abernethy?s rudeness to her, as well she might; still he gave her, in a few words, a useful lesson. «Why, Madam,» said he, «do you know there are upward of thirty yards of bowels squeezed underneath that girdle of your daughter?s? Go home and cut it; let nature have fair play, and you will have no need of my advice.»
Quoted by George Macilwain in Memoirs of John Abernethy, chapter 33.
«Private patient?s, if they do not like me, can go elsewhere; but the poor devils in the hospital I am bound to take care of.»
Quoted by George Macilwain in Memoirs of John Abernethy, chapter 5.
«There is no short cut, nor «royal road,» to the attainment of medical knowledge. The path which we have to pursue is long, difficult, and unsafe. In our progress, we must frequently take up our abode with death and corruption; we must adopt loathsome diseases for our familar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and dispositions; we must risk, nay even injure, our own health in order to be able to preserve or restore that of other.»
Hunterian oration, 1819.
«Pray, Mr. Abernethy, what is a cure for gout?» was the question of an indolent and luxurious citizen. «Live upon a sixpence a day - and earn it,» was the cogent reply.
Quoted by Thomas J. Pettegrew in Medical Portrait Gallery, Volume II.
«The hospital is the only proper College in which to rear a true disciple of Aesculapius.
Quoted by Thomas J. Pettegrew in Biographical Memoirs.
«Mr. Abernethy,» sais a patient, «I have something the matter, Sir, with this arm. There, oh! (making a particular motion with the limb), that, Sir, gives me great pain.» «Well what a fool you must be to do it then,» said Abernethy.
Quoted by George Macilwain in Memoirs of John Abernethy, chapter 33.
«Abernethy, leaving his house, kicked his foot against a paving stone where the road was under repair. He shouted to a workman (who was Irish) to take it out of the way. «And where shall I take it?» asked the Irishman. «Take it to H-ll for all I care.» «May be,» said the Irishman, «if I Take it to Heaven it will be more out of your Honor?s way.»
Quoted by Howard Marsh in
St. Barholomew?s Hospital Journal, 1904, 2: 89.
To the daughter of a widowed patient: « I have witnessed your devotion and kindness to your mother. I am in need of a wife, and I think you are the very person that would suit me. My time is essentially occupied, and I have therefore no leirsure for courting.. Reflect upon this matter until Monday.»*.
Quoted by Samuel D. Gross in Autobiography.
*She did, and subsequently became Mrs. Abernethy
«Various advantages result even from the publication of opinions; for though we are very liable to error in forming them, yet their promulgation, by exciting investigation, and pointing out the deficiencies of our information, cannet be otherwise than useful in the promotion of science.»

BIOGRAPHY: CAPTAIN F. A. GOODELL
BIOGRAPHY: Captain F.A. Goodell, of Cleveland, is a native of the Buckeye State, having been born at Vermilion, February 18, 1854. Two months later the family removed to what was then the Territory of Washington, there living until he reached the age of twelve years, when they returned to Vermilion.
Captain Goodell attended school at Vermilion for five years, at the end of that time going on the Michael Groh as deckhand, becoming watchman and wheelsman the same year. He then went before the mast on the schooner Winona, with Captain Brown, and, leaving in October, escaped a wreck which befell the boat on its next trip. The following season he spent on its next trip. The following season he spent on the J. S. Fay as watchman, and the years closely succeeding in the S. L. Mather, Mary
Jarecki, Samson, Annie Smith, V. Swain, F. A. Morse, S. B. Conklin and Henry Fitzhugh. For one season after this he was engaged in the fish business at Vermilion, but the following year he returned to the water and sailed as mate of the P. S. March. Henow became master, and was given command of the Florida, which boat was lost at Marquette Harbor, one man also being lost. He has since sailed the P. S. Marsh, the W. S. Crosthwaite, Oregon, H. D. Alverson, and, in 1896 and 1897 the Columbia, and in 1898, steamer R. E. Schuck.
On November 30, 1880, Captain Goode(sic) was married to Miss Amelia Hinton, of Vermilion, Ohio. They have five children Marion P., William B., Fred C., Edna M. and Hattie B., all of who are in school but the youngest.
William B. Goodell, the father of Captain Goodell, was born in Hamilton, Ontario. He spent the greater part of his life on the water, being in the employ of Bradley and Minch, of Cleveland, in 1854. He had left the lakes, however, at the time of his death, which occurred December 16, 1864[sic]. He had been appointed deputy collector at Port Angelus, Wash., and served in that position only one week when he was drowned in a flood.

Charlie Octavie Reid was said to have been born in Purvis (Lamar County), MS, by three researchers, including the leading researcher, Woodrow Wallace. However, the 1880 Mobile County and the 1900 Washington County census show him as born in Alabama (and still indicating his color was Black, which may have been a strong motivation to join the rest of the family in Mississippi, where they were considered to be White). Actually, all of the family was in Charity Chapel (present day Washington County) in 1880, but were counted on the Mobile County census either because they got their mail thru Citronelle in Mobile County or because the county boundaries subsequently changed, or because Charity Chapel may have been erroneously believed to be within the Mobile County lines. Jacqueline Anderson Matte, in her book "They Say the Wind is Red," says that Seaborn bought land and established Charity Chapel (Washington County), AL in 1871. This same land is listed on a patent issued to Seabourn Reid in 1883 by the Government Land Office. Hence, it is highly unlikely Seaborn left Alabama before then or that Charlie Octavie Reid was born anywhere other than Charity Chapel. The registration of births in Miss. apparently did not even begin until 1912, further casting question on the correctness of the above info pertaining to his Purvis birth. The only evidence that he was born other than in Alabama is the 1910 Lamar County, MS, census indicating he was born in Mississippi, but that is apparently an error. The same error is repeated for his first wife, Mary Evans, who also was from a Charity Chapel family, as evidenced by the fact that her female children by Charlie went to live in Charity Chapel, with her brother, James Evans, after Charlie's death, Mary having preceded him. The girls Minnie and Agnes are shown in James Evans' household on the 1920 census.In as much as he is shown on the 1900 Washington County (ED 122, Sheet 12, Precinct 11, Simmes Chapel) it appears unquestionable that he did not come to Mississippi before the majority of the family moved to Miss in the 1890s, and he probably came only for visits prior to 1900. It is clear that he was in Mississippi for the 1910 census of Lamar County and some years thereafter, since his first wife died after 1910 and he married his second wife in 1911, in Miss.Sometime before his death, Charlie apparently moved his family back to Alabama, since all sources agree that he died in Saraland, AL (although Woodie does not have him dying until 1920, which is in error, since by Feb 1920 Charlie's wife and son were back in the household of her father in Lamar County, MS, and his children by Mary Evans were in either a cousin's household or with Mary's brother). Son Charlie Reid's notes state that he died during the Spanish influenza epidemic in November 1918, but there is an entry in the Alabama death records Soundex indicating a "Chas. Reid" died in Mobile County on October 27, 1918, and that is most likely referring to him. He is buried in the Charity Chapel AL cemetery in an unmarked grave beside that of his children. Concrete pads were poured over the graves by Clyde Reid, son of Charlie's son William Henry (Wilmer), who is buried a few feet away. Notes left by Charlie Reid, son of Charlie Octavie Reid, list the order of graves in Charity Chapel cemetery from north to south as follows (list was made before the death of Wilmer's wife, who now rests by his side):William Henry (Wilmer) Reid; Stephen Anthony Reid; Elizabeth Ann Reid (not to be confused with Seaborn's daughter); Thelma Reid Driver; Bobby Ray Reid; Edwin Leon Helveston Jr; Wallace Brown; Tillman Reid; Delmar Reid; Agnes Reid; Charlie Octavie Reid.He was married first to Mary Evans. (Some researchers have indicated her last name was Brock, but it was Evans according to Charlie Octavie Reid's son Charlie's notes and what other son Wilmer Reid passed on to his son Clyde Reid; moreover, the residency of two of his children, Minnie and Agnes, with James Evans, "Uncle," on the 1920 census provides conclusive evidence that her name was Evans; James Evans is buried in the Charity Chapel cemetery near the other members of the Reid family.). One of Charlie Octavie Reid's nephews, Charlie W. Reid, married a Bertie Brock, and it may be that other researchers have confused the two. According to the 1910 Lamar County, MS, census, completed in Feb of that year, Charlie Octavie Reid and Mary had been married 13 years, and she is shown to be the mother of all five(5) children in their household. Mollie Hartfield and Charlie Octavie Reid are documented in State of Mississippi records as having married in Lamar County on 18 June 1911, meaning Mary Evans died sometime shortly after the 1910 census.His children by Mary and their ages on the 1910 census were Delmer - 11; Wilmer - 9; Minnie - 7,Tilman -4, and Agnes, 12 months. All these children remained in Alabama following his death, but apparently Minnie did subsequently return to Mississippi, since she is said to have been buried in Baxterville, MS cemetery by all the researchers. The 1920 census also only shows Mollie and son Charlie living in the household of her father, George W. Hartfied near Purvis, MS in Lamar County.Apparently, Charlie Octavie received a Bureau of Land Management Patent on 40 acres of land (Accession Serial #MS3270_.033) in Lamar County in 1904 (the patent is in the name "Charley). It is known that Charlie Reid, his son, sold 6 acres of land in Lamar County in the late 1940s, which were apparently his allotted share of the remainder. Why, of all Seaborn's descendents, only Charlie Octavie left Mississippi and returned to Alabama is unknown, although it has been stated by some that he possibly had "trouble with the law." Whether he intended to return to Mississippi is unknown.Charlie married (1) Mary EVANS in 1897. Mary was born about 1878 in Alabama. She died in Nov 1910 in Baxterville, MS. She was buried in Entrekin Cemetery,Elder Ridge MS near Carnes. Some researchers have listed Mary Evans as Mary Brock. Her grandson, Clyde Reid, son of William Henry (Uncle Wilmer) Reid, states that her last name was indeed EVANS, according to his father. Where "Brock" came from is unknown. Charlie Reid, son of Charlie Octavie Reid, also said her last name was Evans. The strongest evidence of that is found on the 1920 census, showing that both Agnes and Minnie, her daughters, were living with James Evans in Washington County, who is listed as their uncle. For more detail, see notes for Charlie Octavie Reid.Charlie and Mary had the following children: 100 MiDelmer REID was born on 19 Jan 1898/1899 in Alabama. He died on 11 Feb 1937 in Washington County, AL. He was buried in Charity Chapel, AL. Delmer is shown in the household of his father and mother on the 1900 Washington County census, as a 1-year old born in Alabama, notwithstanding that the 1910 Lamar County, MS census would erroneous say he was born in Miss. He is shown as being born in 1899 on the 1900 census, although later documents reflect his birth year as 1898. Following his father's death, Delmer (along with Tilman) remained in Alabama, living with a cousin, Alex Reid, in Mobile County, AL, on the 1920 census. His wife Zell was Alex's daughter. Delmer married Zell REID. Zell was born on 18 Jun 1900 in Alabama. She died in Nov 1993 in Alabama. +101 Mii William Henry (Wilmer) REID was born on 6 Jun 1901. He died on 5 Apr 1978. 102 FiiiMinnie Lee REID was born in 1903 in Baxterville, MS. She died on 3 Mar 1921 in Baxterville, MS. She was buried in Baxterville, MS. According to Researcher Woodie Wallace, Minnie died in 1916, but Charlie Reid, her half-brother, left notes which gave the date of her death as Mar 1921, which is moreover supported by the fact that she was still alive and living with an uncle, James Evans, back in Alabama, on the 1920 Washington County census. According to Charlie's notes, she died and was buried in Baxterville, MS, which meant she apparently returned to Mississippi shortly after being counted in the 1920 Washington County census.+103 Miv Tilman REID was born on 7 Sep 1906. He died on 9 Nov 1939. +104 Fv Agnes REID was born on 5 Apr 1909. She died about 6 Jul 1932. Charlie married (2) Mary Catherine "Mollie" HARTFIELD on 18 Jun 1911 in Lamar County, MS.

The Hartfield family was a large family in the south Miss. area around Marion, Lamar, Pearl River and Perry (later Forrest) Counties. Mollie's marriage to Charlie Octavie Reid is documented in State of Miss. records. She was 35 at the time of that marriage, according to the 1930 Forrest County, MS, census.Mollie brought Charlie back to Miss. sometime following the death of Charlie Octavie in Alabama during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918. On the 1920 Lamar County census she is shown with son Charlie in the household of her father and mother. She and Charlie apparently lived with various other members of the family at times. She lived with her son Charlie later, even after he was married to Myrtle Lou Ethel Williams, and died at an elderly age in the early 50s while living with them at Hattiesburg. She is buried in the church cemetery at Oak Grove (Lamar County), MS.

Lackey of Alpine; two daughters, Mesdames Walter Garnett and Chas Stillwell, and four sons; Clarence of Alpine; Evan of Terlingua, Will of El Paso, and Ed of Wyoming; all being at his bedside at the time of his death except Edward.

Dr. Margarette Eby was a music professor and the provost at University of Michigan-Flint. She was famous for organizing a Bach Festival in Flint every summer. She resided in the gatehouse on the grounds of the old Mott Estate in Flint, Michigan. (Charles Mott was the founder of General Motors, and at one time was the richest man in the United States.) Dr. Eby was renting the gatehouse from Mott's widow, when she was brutally murdered there. The case became sensationalized, however, it went cold for many years due to lack of evidence. Then in 2003, DNA evidence linked her case to that of the murder of Nancy Ludwig. It conclusively identified Jeffrey Gorton as her killer. He was sentenced to life in prison. Dr. Eby was survived by her children. | Fink, Doctor Margarette (I271987797047)

Early days in St. Stephens, Alabama and George Strother Gaines
Sketches of Alabama history By Joel Campbell Du Bose 1901
Major John Pitchlyn, when a boy, lost his English father in the Indian country. Reaching manhood, he married into an influential Indian family among the Choctaws of the northeastern district, and dwelt near the mouth of the Oktibbeha River. He was a man of intelligence and firmness, and of a handsome face. Mr. Gaines met him, liked him, consulted him, and secured his co-operation in many ways. Pitchlyn was appointed United States interpreter, but his influence among the Indians was so strong and salutary that the United States never used his services except at treaties or at the payment of annual dues.
To avoid the high Spanish duties on goods the United States shipped merchandise by way of Pittsburg down the Ohio River and up the Tennessee to Colbert's Ferry. Mr. Gaines contracted with the Chickasaws to protect and to carry the goods on pack-horses to Cotton Gin Port on the Tombigbee, where Major Pitchlyn shipped them on to St. Stephens. Everything arrived in due time, without the loss or damage of an article. This was attributed to the honor and good faith of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, through whose territories the goods had been carried. These tribes were milder and more civil than the Creeks, but none the less warlike when aroused to battle.
About 1812, Mr. Gaines married Ann, the daughter of Young Gaines, of St. Stephens. His brother, General Edmund Pendleton Gaines, was thrice married: first to Frances, the daughter of Judge Harry Toulmin; second to Barbara, the daughter of Governor William Blount, of Tennessee; and last to Mrs. Myra Clark Whitney, whose long lawsuits for property in New Orleans are so celebrated in history.
British agents acquainted the Indians with the hostile attitude of England and the United States; that war would come, and the British would swoop down on the country and capture it. The Creeks sided with the English. A cunning chief, Oce-Oche-Motla, from the falls of the Black Warrior, had been credited annually by Mr. Gaines to the amount of a hundred dollars. He had heard the news of the English coming, and tried to get credit for a thousand dollars, believing that no one would be at the trading-house to receive payment when it fell due. He offered his staunch friend, Tandy Walker, as security. Mr. Gaines mentioned the troubles with the English, and refused the credit. The chief insisted. Mr. Gaines proposed to sleep over the matter, and let each tell his dream in the morning. Tandy Walker secretly engaged to meet Mr. Gaines at midnight at " the Rock," overhanging the river's bluff. There he told the treachery of the chief and the preparations for the Creek War.
The next morning Mr. Gaines told his dream to be that the United States and the English would fight, the English would be whipped, and the northern tribes siding with the English would suffer; and that he must not give the large credit. He gave the chief the accustomed hundred-dollar credit, and never afterward saw him again.
Tandy Walker was a hero. Hearing that a white woman had been captured in Tennessee and taken to the Black Warrior village, he went on foot to visit his friend, Oce-Oche-Motla. He secretly obtained a canoe, slipped off with the woman at night, and carried her down to St. Stephens. She was Mrs. Crawley. She was sick, and crazed from suffering and anxiety. Mrs. Gaines nursed her back to health, and then Mr. Gaines, Colonel Haynes, and Thomas Malone bought a horse, bridle, and saddle, and sent her with a party of gentlemen back to her home at the mouth of the Tennessee.i
Burnt Corn, Fort Mims, and other places were carved into history. People left crops and stock to the chances of the hour, and poured into the forts. Mr. Gaines dispatched Mr. Edmonson to bear the story of battles and massacres to Governor Blount and General Jackson in Nashville. The Creek War passed. General Jackson at Fort Claiborne ordered from Mr. Gaines blankets and clothing for his Indian warriors. Mr. Gaines complied, but requested a draft on the War Department for settlement. Jackson felt annoyed, but gave the draft. Shortly afterward he wrote Mr. Gaines to learn the author of an enclosed anonymous letter, which charged Judge Harry Toulmin as being a spy and secret ally of the British
Mr. Gaines went to Mobile to meet the General, and to explain the character of his friend. Jackson greeted him pleasantly, and assured him that no suspicion rested on his friend, closing with, " I only wanted to know the scoundrel that dared practice such an imposition on me."
The factorage was removed to Gainesville, Sumter County. This town was named for Mr. Gaines. Here he remained three years. He then became a merchant in Demopolis, and, 1825 to 1827, served Marengo and Clarke Counties in the State Senate.
By various treaties the Indians bound themselves to vacate the old hunting-grounds of their fathers, and to consent to go to the Indian territory set apart west of the Mississippi River. Mr. Gaines consented to help select the lands to which the Choctaws were to move. He also, as commissioner of the United States, accompanied the Choctaws in their removal, but was so mortified at the failure of the United States to carry out its contract to furnish wagons to convey the women and children and the infirm that he resigned his office. The Choctaws desired to make him their chief, but he declined.
He lived many years in Mobile, always in active business, and for a while was president of the Mobile branch of the State bank. In 1856, he removed to State Line, Mississippi, where he died in January, 1873.
He was one of the original movers to construct the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. For years he taught, wrote, urged, advocated, travelled, and worked to arouse interest in this road?this artery of commerce that gave to Mobile its first railroad facilities through a far-stretching region of varied products and multiplied interests.
The Mobile Register of June 19, 1872, said of him, "George S. Gaines, the just, pure man, the friend and counsellor of the red man, the wise and faithful pioneer of civilization in the Mississippi Territory?the patriarch of two States. . . . His life has been one constant and unbroken series of kind deeds, wise counsels, and enlarged thought for the good of his people. With remarkable and admirable business qualifications, he brought to his intercourse with the haughty and suspicious savages a consideration for their rights, a deference for their habits and feeling, an unvarying politeness that won their entire confidence, their perfect trust, until his simple word became their law, and his sympathy and kindness their abiding reliance. The part Mr. Gaines acted in the early history of Mississippi Territory, and subsequently upon its division into the States of Alabama and Mississippi, was one of untiring interest and of great advantage to the young communities in which he was equally at home. His position as Indian agent had brought him in contact with the leading men of both States. His influence was either directly or indirectly felt in every measure of public importance for a long term of years."

The death of his wife and soul mate, Ann Gaines, at Peachwood in 1868 ended their fifty-six-year journey together and may have spurred Gaines to turn his attention to dictating his "Reminiscences." | Gaines, Ann Lawrence (I272008484048)

Both Daniel and Rose were buried under a chinaberry tree on the farm. Their graves were dug up when the new property owners excavated for a farm pond.

Hill Springs....
This area was first known as the Joe Reed settlement and was populated by he children and grandchildren of Joe Reed and his wives; first Jane Taylor and second, Molly Newbern. He had twelve children and was the father of Early Reed, who became a preacher and leader in the community.....
NOTE:
I personally question this union. I see Joe in the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, and 1940 Census records Washington County all with Jane. He is buried in the Hillspring Center in Washington County with Jane.
I do see, in the 1900 census in center, Cherokee County, Alabama a Joe REID born in 1879 and Mollie born in 1873.
I again see a Joe REID married to a Molly REID in Carson, 1920 Census Washington County, Alabama he born in 1884 she in 1875.
I think the writer may have confused these tow families. I think more research needs to be done. | Reed, Joseph (I272008484106)

Pic was married to Cornelia Mollie Weaver, daughter of Jim Weaver & Peggy Parnell. He also had children by Rhoda and Mary "Big Sis" Rivers, daughters of Edy Weaver and Joel Rivers. He went to Monroe County around 1850 and brought them to Mobile County. Edy Rivers children started the Rivers lineage among the MOWA. In 1856 Pic bought a store and brought in supplies by steamboat on the river. Mollie was his main wife and when she filled a grocery store order for her household, she also filled one for his other wives. They had houses located near each other. Pic left his shoes on the front porch of the house where he spent the night. In addition to these three wives, some say he had as many as eight or ten wives and 144 children. | Chastang, Jerome Pic Sr (I272008484619)

...Choctaw Indian churches began in the 1800s when Protestant Indian missionaries arrived. Two core communities developed around pioneer churches and their Indian Leaders. In Mobile County, Lemuel Byrd and David Weaver furnished both tribal and religious direction. Together they constructed a log building around 1840 that became Byrd Church. In Washington County, George Reed and Jim Weaver provided the leadership to build a log church at Reeds Chapel in the 1830s. Early Protestant missionary work probably had no better impact on acculturation than had earlier French and Spanish Catholic missionary efforts....

......Young Gaines, an interpreter who signed the treaty as a witness, had four children by Kalioka, a Choctaw woman. Their daughter, Rose Gaines, has many descendants amoung the MOWA Band.....
Page 43-45...One other known ancestor of the MOWA, Kalioka, mentioned earlier, was the daughter of the Choctaw chief, Kalioka had four children by Young Gaines, and early settler who came into the Mobile area in the 1780's. Gaines received Spanish land grants and ran large herds of cattle freely on Indian lands. he also had a white family, which included a daughter, Ann, who married George S Gaines, an agent at the Choctaw Trading House, George Gaines said in his reminiscences:
" My father in law sent us a drove of cattle. A few days after they reached us, a second grade chief....complained that strangers had driven a great number of cattle on his lands and asked if I knew about it. I told Hopia-skiteena (Little Leader) that my wife (Ann) was a daughter of Young Gaines, and the old gentleman had sent the cattle to me. He replied, 'It is all right then. I know Young Gaines. He is a good and sensible man, I will see that your cattle eat my grass in safety."
As a white inhabitant of the Mississippi Territory, Young Gaines signed petitions to Congress and served jury duty; as an Indian countryman he witnessed treaties and was a paid interpreter for the Choctaw Trading House at St. Stephens where he sold corn, cowhides and beef.
Of the four children born to Kalioka and Young Gaines, more is a know of Rose, the eldest daughter who stayed in the Mississippi Territory, than of their sons, Jerry and Isaac, who went west with their mother. Ann, (daughter of the Indian wife, not the white daughter who married George), the youngest, died at an early age. A story appeared in the Birmingham News-Age Herald when a cache of gold was found in 1933 near Young Gaines homes, about twenty miles west of the Alabama state line, in McLain, Mississippi......This is one of the many stories surrounding the ethnicity of Rose Gaines, who lived to be almost one hundred years old and became a controversial legend in Washington County.

BIOGRAPHY OF EDMUND PENDLETON GAINES, MAJOR GENERAL, U. S. ARMY, CONDENSED FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES
The subject of this sketch was the third son of James Gaines; and was born on the 20th March, 1777, near the eastern base of the blue ridge, in the county of Culpeper, Virginia. The father served in the i'latter part of the revohitionary war, at the head of a company of volun[teers ? was soon afterwards chosen a member of the North Carolina Legislature, which State he had moved to at the close of the war, and was subsequently elected a member of the convention of that State to which the Federal Constitution was submitted for its approbation or rejection.
Among the ancestry of James Gaines was numbered the person of Edmund Pendleton, a name which Virginia, as well as the whole country, f| delights to revere ? a profound lawyer, an able judge, and a statesman, whose reputation finds no superior even in the characters of Henry, Jefferson, Madison, Randolph, Lee, and Mason.
Mr. Gaines moved his family to Sullivan county, which afterwards became the Eastern comity of Tennessee, about the time of his son Edmund's attainment of his thirteenth year. Here, while a beardless boy with his rifle, our young hero studied the art of war ; and this in the immediate vicinity of the depredations committed by the Creeks and Cherokees with whom we were at war. His excellence in the use of this border weapon of attack and defence was generally acknowledged ; to which he, perhaps, may consider himself indebted for his first commission,* that of a Lieutenant in Captain Cloud's volunteer company of riflemen. Soon after this he was recommended for a commission in the army, and on the 10th January, 1799, he was appointed an ensign. In the following fall he was attached to the 6th regiment, and ordered on
duty in the recruiting service, he having in the interim been promoted to a second Lieutenancy. Soon after the disbandment of the 6th, he was attached to the 4th, under the command of Col. Thomas Butler.
In the summer of ISOL Colonel Butler was instructed by President Jefferson to select the subaltern of his regiment best qualified for making a topographicail survey from Nashville to Natchez for the location of a
* This is the only office for which ho ever offered himself to his fellow cilizena^ His triumphant election proved that his character was duly appreciated pense to the enemy of 905, killed, wounded, and missing ? while their
own loss was but 84.* At the point of the first attack the enemy found *Mhe veteran 2Ut,'' under the command of Major Wood, supported by Towson's artillery on Snake Hill. Here there were no breast works nor any defences other than a light abattis of brush, not more than two feet high, and no where was there greater necessity for continued vigilance
and prudence.
The American General had given orders, that should there be an attack in the night, not a gun should be discharged until orders to the contrary ; and that no such orders should be given until the enemy had reached the abattis. The orders were strictly obeyed, and the consequences were five successive repulsions of the first column of attack with great slaughter, in a half an hour ? many of the enemy falling upon the abattis. The Americans depended upon a '^ reserved Jlre,^' until their adversaries were near enough to render its effects certain ? the British, as usual, relied upon the '' bayonet^ f How far the cool courage of the one triumphed over the steady valor of the other, may be seen in the result of the final repulse. The Americans lost not a man, while their enemy mourned over the fate of 300 in killed, wounded, and missing.
This point being secured and placed in the care of General Ripley, and Majors Wood and Towson, the commanding general repaired to the extreme right, whither he had been called by an animated attack upon that wing. The enemy's left, under Lieutenant Colonel Scott, gallantly attacked the part of General Gaines' right wing defended by the 9th, 1 1th,
and 25th infantry ; a detachment cf Hindman's artillery, and two companies of Porter's volunteers. The British were repulsed with the loss of their commander and many of their officers and men.
Lieutenant Colonel Drummond, at the head of one of the enemy's centre columns, attacked the fort defended by Captain Williams, under the direction of Major Hindman, was repelled and renewed the attack aided by his left, whose leader had fallen. The darkness, increased by the smoke of an hour's brisk action, enabled the enemy to complete the 65- calade of the bastion without being discovered. A sanguinary struggle ensued, several of the artillerists fell, among them the heroic Williams, McDonough, Fountaine, and Watmough, and the bastion was lost.
Arrangements were immediately made to dislodge them. The reserve under Foster, Birdsall, and Hall, was ordered up, and the fire of the 9th, I Ith, and 12th, was directed to the bastion and to the enemy's force collecting in front. The first attempt failing, Colonel Drummond ventured
with a few men to descend the gorge into the mess house, where he fell.
(This was the officer who refused Lieutenant McDonough " quarter," British and American official reports.
Extract from Drummond's order of attack. "The Lieutenant General raoBt Btrongly recommends a free use of the bayonet." when it was demanded by him on the bastion after being severely wounded, and who pressed on his command with the reiterated order,' Give the d ? d yankecs no quarter !^')* The fire was steadily continued at the enemy, upon and in front of the bastion, until none of his force could be seen. It was now daylight, and the riflemen were pro-
mised a fair opportunity for an exercise of their skill in singling out their foe, and ''drawing on him a bead." But at this auspicious moment, bidding fair for the destruction of the whole British army, two or three hundred pounds of powder, under the platform of the bastion exploded,
by which the cheering prospects of the Americans were blighted. The effect upon the enemy was not unfavorable, as nearly all but their dead and wounded had previously left it, as was known to the staff of the commauding General as well as to other of his ofBcers, and as was afterwards confirmed to them by Captain Colclough and Lieutenant Hall of the British Army, who had been badly wounded before the explosion.
The loss of the British in the battle of the loth, was, as previously stated according to their official acknowledgement, nearly 1,000, while our own was but 84. (f) Among the wounded of the latter was the General Commanding-in-chief, who, while writing a report at his quarters, had his leg disabled, and body much bruised, by the bursting of one of the enemy's shells beneath his feet.
The Niagara frontier was our last foot-hold in Canada, after several ineffectual campaigns to conquer it. The maintenance of that foot-hold had been questioned by some of the first officers under the command of the American General. To abandon it, however, was to open to the
enemy an inroad to a frontier of thousands of miles in extent, and to deliver up its inhabitants and their property to the " mercy of the merciless !" The American General preferred risking his .command against a force almost double his own ? with what result has already been seen.
When we take this into consideration, and at the same time keep before our eyes the fact, that in full view of the nation was the dark picture of a country with its seat of government in possession of a foe, whose first principle was destruction to every thing held sacred by the laws of war, while the intelligence of our decisive success over the British arms was being received ? we are at no loss what place in the record of American achievements to assign to the victories of Fort Erie, and what honors to award its victors.
* It may be well by way of showing the spirit which actuated the British Army, to notice tlic fact that its parol was " steel," and its countersign " twenty," words
qnite as significant as the " beauty" and " booty'" of General Packenham at New Orleans. See Lieut. General Druramond's order of attack, dated " Head Quarters, camp before Fort Erie, August, 1S14.

From Encyclopedia of Alabama:
George Strother Gaines (1784-1873) played a pivotal role in events that shaped the early development and history of Alabama and Mississippi. In a public service and business career that spanned nearly 70 years, Gaines was a federal trade agent to the region's Indian tribes, a state senator, an explorer, and a supervisor of the removal of Choctaw Indians. He was also instrumental in developing and operating a state bank, overseeing Choctaw land claims, and promoting a railroad. Gaines spent his later years in Mississippi as a cattle rancher, legislator, and nursery owner.
Little is known about Gaines' early life. He was born May 1, 1784, in Surry County (later Stokes County), North Carolina, the 11th of 13 children in a distinguished family. His father, Revolutionary War veteran Captain James Gaines, and his mother, Elizabeth Strother Gaines, both came from prominent Virginia families. His older brother Edmund Pendleton Gaines rose to the rank of major general in the U.S. Army.
In 1804, Gaines was appointed by the federal government as assistant trader (known then as factor) with the Choctaw Trading House at St. Stephens, Mississippi Territory, in present-day Washington County, Alabama. Federal trading houses, or factories, were expected to provide quality goods at fair prices to local Indians and aid the federal government's efforts to encourage their Indian customers to adopt European American culture, as called for by the Plan of Civilization. When his new employer, Joseph Chambers, resigned as factor in 1806, Gaines replaced him and established a solid reputation with the tribes, particularly the Choctaws, as well as the settlers along the lower Tombigbee and Tensaw rivers.
In 1812, Gaines married his distant cousin Ann Gaines, and the couple would later have nine children, eight of whom survived to adulthood. He played a prominent role in defending the Mississippi Territory as settlers and Native Americans began to clash over land. Gaines convinced the Choctaws and Chickasaws to help defend the lower Tombigbee and Tensaw settlements after the destruction of Fort Mims by a Creek faction known as the Redsticks in 1813. He actively promoted the Choctaw and Chickasaw alliances and outfitted Choctaw volunteers to fight against the Creeks during the Creek War of 1813-1814.
In 1815, Gaines moved the trading house up the Tombigbee River closer to the Choctaws and Chickasaws on Factory Creek, near present-day Epes, Sumter County. Gaines's new Choctaw Trading House quickly became an economic and social center, and he became the first postmaster in that region. Under the important Treaty of Fort Confederation, signed on October 24, 1816, at the trading house, the Choctaws agreed to surrender all their lands east of the Tombigbee River, constituting present-day Hale and Marengo counties.
In 1820, a French artist created a panoramic Vine and Olive ColonyIn 1817, Gaines advised French settlers to establish a settlement, known as the Vine and Olive Colony, at the White Bluff, below the junction of the Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers in Marengo County. The main town site, which became Demopolis, was in fact outside the boundaries of their land grant, and the colonists later were forced to move. As the French settlers left or failed to make a living from their homesteads, Gaines and other early residents of Demopolis and Marengo County purchased their lands.
Gaines resigned as factor of the Choctaw Trading House in August 1818 to become secretary and cashier of the new Tombeckbee Bank in St. Stephens, the temporary capital of the new Alabama Territory. Hard times for the bank, exacerbated by the financial crisis known as the Panic of 1819, forced Gaines to resign in 1822. He moved his family to Demopolis to join his business partner, planter Allen Glover, and with him purchased the Choctaw Trading House from the federal government in 1822. Gaines assumed responsibility for its operation, and the Choctaws continued to receive their annuity goods at the old trading house.
Gaines entered into a brief political career when he was elected state senator for Marengo and Clarke counties in 1825. His two-year term coincided with the relocation of the state capital from Cahaba to Tuscaloosa. While senator, Gaines developed personal and political connections that would prove important to his future as a banker, businessman, and railroad lobbyist.
In the late summer of 1830, Gaines and Glover were contracted by the federal government to provide supplies for several thousand Choctaws attending a treaty conference held on Dancing Rabbit Creek near present-day Macon, Mississippi. The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, signed on September 15, 1830, provided for the removal of the Choctaws west of the Mississippi River. After the signing, Gaines accepted an appointment as exploring agent for the Choctaws and an official treaty commissioner. President Andrew Jackson's administration was anxious to remove the Choctaws and Chickasaws from Mississippi, and Gaines was charged with convincing the two tribes to share Choctaw lands west of the Mississippi River. In October 1830, Gaines organized a Choctaw party to find suitable lands in present-day Oklahoma before returning to Demopolis in March 1831. Gaines next received an appointment in August as superintendent for the first stage of Choctaw removal. He spent the next four months guiding approximately 6,000 Choctaws to their new lands west of the Mississippi River. Despite suffering numerous hardships during their overland trek, the first removal parties arrived in the new homeland in early March 1832.
Gaines expected to continue as removal agent, but he received notice in April 1832 that military personnel would oversee all future Indian removals to centralize control and cut expenses. The removal overseen by Gaines had cost the government three times the original estimate and was considered a failure by the War Department. Gaines believed the venture to have been a success because there were few deaths or other casualties among the Choctaw, and he was praised by the Mobile Commercial Register for his attention to the travelers' wellbeing. Subsequently, Gaines's expense accounts for the Choctaws' removal and subsistence met with the same fate as his previous reports as exploring agent. The government auditors either rejected or suspended numerous claims, and Gaines received only a partial settlement in 1843.
John Gayle (1792-1859) was Alabama's governor from 1831-35. John GayleGaines and his family moved in October 1832 to Mobile, where he was elected president of the Mobile branch of the State Bank of Alabama. Before Gaines could begin his second banking career, however, Alabama governor John Gayle appointed him as the state's agent to sell bonds to raise capital for the new branch banks. Gaines traveled to New York and negotiated the sale of $3.5 million in state bonds. He was annually reelected president of the Mobile branch through 1838.
Gaines's various business enterprises in Mobile continued through the 1840s. He sold his property in Demopolis in January 1843 and began farming and raising cattle on land inherited by his wife in Perry County, Mississippi, in 1845. He served on the Choctaw Claims Commission in 1844 and 1845 and as a lobbyist promoting the Mobile and Ohio Railroad in Alabama and Mississippi from 1847 to 1850. By 1856, Gaines had moved his family and slaves to a plantation near State Line, Mississippi, where he developed the Peachwood Nurseries. Gaines raised and sold a wide range of plants and trees, including bedding plants, flowering shrubs, fruit trees (especially apple and peach trees), and grapes.
Gaines died at his home on January 21, 1873. He was buried next to his wife, Ann, in the Peachwood cemetery, with a simple marker over his grave that heralds him as a "statesman and pioneer." | Gaines, George Strother (I272008484047)

Then there was General Thomas H. Cushing, a distinguished oflicer in the War of 1812. Few, if any, can with justice claim a worthier ancestry than Mr. Thomas Cushing, of Chariton county. James Cushing, his grandfather, emigrated from Massachusetts to New York, when Barak, the father of Thomas, was still a lad. The grandfather, a man of high order of intelligence and of finished education, but with no political aspirations, lived a quiet farm life among his books and friends in New York State until a few years ago. His wife having died, he then went to Pennsylvania, where he is still living with a son at a reasonable old age. Barak Cushing inherited his father?s retiring disposition, and like him, has led a quiet, unobtrusive life. He was married to Miss Irene Thomas, of a highly respectable Massachusetts family, and of this union Thomas, the subject of the present sketch, was born in Cortland county, New York, December 3, 1829. ' When Thomas was a small boy his parents moved to Eric county, New York, where the son grew to manhood. He was educated in the common and high schools of the county, and at the age ofeighteen commenced teaching school himself.~ He taught continuously for about twelve years, and established for himself an enviable reputation as a capable and successful teacher. In 1854 he was married in Erie county, New York, to Miss Abagail, daughter of Thayer Northup, of that county. Two years afterwards he removed to Erie county, Pennsylvania, where his wife died some years afterwards, having borne him four children, two of whom are living: Lewis I. and Emmet E.
