"He was born 28 November 1876 at Hanes Creek, Johnson County, Texas. Enoch died 17 September 1936 in San Angelo, Texas, of general peritonitis caused by a ruptured appendix and is buried in Robert Lee, Texas. He was 60 years old. Because the Colorado River between San Angelo and Robert Lee was flooding, Annie and her oldest son, Bill, brought Enoch’s body across the river by boat. His other children, who were at home in Robert Lee, heard about his death over the radio." (Source: Jesse Swanson - suertdog@charter.net - May 2011) | Sparks, Enoch Thomas (I6151)

| 1311 | Family Data Collection - Births Name: John Polk Father: William Polk Mother: Margaret Taylor Birth Date: 1739 City: Carlise County: Cumberland State: PA Country: USA Family Data Collection - Individual Records Name: John Polk I Polk Spouse: Eleanor Shelby Parents: William Polk, Margaret Taylor Birth Place: Cumberland Co, PA Birth Date: 1739 Marriage Date: 2 Oct 1758 Death Place: NC Death Date: 1785 Capt. John Polk came with his parents to Mecklenburg Co., NC about 1750, and in a deed of 1763, on file at Charlotte, he is called "a planter". Ellinora (Elloner) signed a deed with him in Mecklenburg Co. in 1764. His name is given as the author of a petition in 1765 to the Governor and Council, complaining, with his neighbors, of the acts of the chief agent of the large Selwyn grant, on which they lived. June 7, 1766 he is listed as a member of the Clear Creek Company of militia which was commanded by Capt. Adam Alexander, in which Charles, his older brother, was a lieutenant. He was an officer in Col. Francis Locke's regiment which was raised to resist the Loyalists. He participated in the Battle of Ramseur's Mills. At various times he served as captain of the militia of that region, when his Committee of Safety called it out. By acts of the General Assembly of the Province in 1766, 1771 and 1773, he was made a member of commissions charged with laying out roads to connect the western counties of North Carolina with Wilmington and Brunswick County, NC. He died most probably in early 1785, as on 9 September of that year the Assembly of NC issued Land Warrant #2149 to "the heirs of John Polk for 1000 acres of land within the limits of the land reserved by law for the officers and soldiers of the Continental line of this state". An affidavit in the Revolutionary War pension, filed by his brother, Charles, contains a declaration that John Polk was appointed Indian Agent for the Catawba Indians, whose lands lay across the state line in South Carolina. John was living with his family in York Co, SC, by 1800 as he is shown on the 1800 Census for that Co. It is not yet known when he moved from NC to SC. His Will, on file in York Co., SC, bequeaths to his wife, Eleanor, all of his personal estate and is signed with his mark, indicating he could not write. The 1790 Census for York Co., SC lists John Polk with one free white male under 16 (Taylor), and one white female (wife, Elinor/Eleanor). The majority of the members of the Polk family in that area left for TN around 1806. | Polk, John Sr. (I5026)

| 1327 | France is affected by the Reformation in a manner and to an extent different from any other country. The reason is that the community is split from top to bottom on the issue; and the sides are so evenly balanced that a civil war based largely on religion lasts for four decades. During the first half of the 16th century the reformed faith spreads among the ordinary people of France, encouraged by missionary priests trained in Geneva. The Protestants, who become known in France as Huguenots, are confident enough to organize in 1559 a national synod in Paris. By this time there are powerful aristocrats in the Protestant camp, among them even members of the great Bourbon dynasty - a branch of the royal family, by distant descent from Louis IX. Their enemies are the Guise family, passionately committed to the Catholic cause. France's wars of religion in the 16th century are also a struggle between these rival camps. In 1559, the year of the Protestant synod in Paris, Henry II dies (he is killed jousting in a tournament). For the next three decades the throne of France is occupied in succession by three of his sons. But the first two are in their teens when they inherit. The real power lies with the Guise family and with Henry's widow, Catherine de Médicis. At first, in 1559, the Guises have the upper hand. The young king, Francis II, is married to Mary Queen of Scots - whose mother is a Guise. But Francis dies in 1560. With the accession of her second son, Charles IX, Catherine de Médicis becomes regent. While sporadic warfare continues in France between Catholic and Protestant forces, Catherine's main concern is to retain a balance of power which will keep her family on the throne. To this end she arranges a marriage between her daughter, Margaret, and Henry of Navarre - the leading member of the Bourbon family. The wedding takes place in 1572. It is followed within a week by the atrocities of St Bartholomew's day. Many of France's Huguenot nobility are in Paris in August 1572 for the wedding of the princess Margaret and Henry of Navarre. Four days after the ceremony there is an assassination attempt on a leading Protestant, Admiral Coligny. It is probably planned by the regent, Catherine de Médicis, together with the Guise family. But the admiral is only wounded. The bungled plot prompts Catherine to over-react. She orders a massacre of all the Huguenots in Paris. The killing begins before dawn on August 24, St Bartholomew's day. Shops are pillaged, families butchered. By the evening of August 25 the government calls a halt, but the mob is now out of control. Other towns follow suit. Estimates of the dead vary, with a likely total of between 10,000 and 15,000 Huguenots killed. The bridegroom, Henry of Navarre, is spared - but he has to declare himself a Catholic. It is more than three years before Henry escapes from the French court, resumes his Protestant faith and leads the Huguenot cause against a Catholic league headed by the Guise family. By now the stakes have been considerably raised. Catherine's second son, Charles IX, dies in 1574. Her third son succeeds him, as Henry III. He is childless, and in 1584 his only remaining brother dies. The Protestant Henry of Navarre is now heir presumptive to the French throne. The last few years of the Valois dynasty are the stuff of melodrama. Henry III breaks his alliance with the Catholic faction in 1588 and has the two leading members of the Guise family assassinated. He then joins forces with Henry of Navarre. But the king is himself assassinated in 1589. On his deathbed he names his Protestant and very distant cousin as his successor - thus bringing the Bourbon dynasty to the throne of France. It takes Henry of Navarre, now Henry IV, several years to conquer his kingdom. Paris, rigorously Catholic and strongly defended, is his main obstacle. It only yields to him, in 1594, after he has once again declared himself a Catholic - and this time for good. It may well be that Henry IV never says the famous remark attributed to him on this topic ("Paris vaut bien une messe", Paris is well worth a mass), but the sentiment is true to history. France's long religious wars are resolved by the simple expedient of making light of religion. The compromise leaves Henry morally obliged to introduce religious toleration. His Edict of Nantes, signed in 1598, gives the Huguenots full civil rights, freedom of worship (within certain restrictions) and various agreed places which they can fortify for their protection. These concessions are violently resented by the Catholic majority. They will be steadily chipped away at, until the Edict of Nantes is finally revoked in 1685. After winning his kingdom in nine years of continuous war, Henry IV brings France twelve years of very productive peace. The state's finances are put on a sound footing, industry and commerce are encouraged (an ambitious scheme for a network of inland waterways includes the beginning of the Briare canal) and the army is strengthened. In his foreign policy Henry takes the same conciliatory approach as with the bitterly opposed religious factions in France. His aim is to achieve peace on France's borders. To this end he helps to negotiate in 1609 the Twelve Years' Truce between Spain and the United Provinces. Contrary to this principle, Henry decides to intervene in 1610 in a dispute over the inheritance of the duchy of Jülich, close to the sensitive border between the United Provinces and the Spanish Netherlands. The Habsburg emperor Rudolf II is about to seize the duchy, and Henry IV is about to march against him, when Henry is assassinated in a Paris street by François Ravaillac (a Catholic whose precise motives are unclear). Henry is one of France's most popular kings. Four years after his death a bronze statue of him on horseback is erected on the Pont Neuf - Paris's most famous bridge, completed during Henry's reign in 1604 (and now the oldest in the city, in spite of its name). | Deupree, Louis Claude II (I7175)

| 1329 | Francis Lightfoot Lee, the fourth son of Thomas Lee, was born on the 14 October, 1734. His father for several years held the office of president of the king's council of the provincial government of Virginia. He had several sons, all of whom were highly distinguished for their talents, and for the services which they rendered their country. Philip Ludwell, a member of the king's council; Thomas Ludwell, a member of the Virginia assembly; Richard Henry, as the champion of American freedom; William, as a sheriff and alderman of London, and afterwards a commissioner of the continental congress at the courts of Berlin and Vienna; and Arthur as a scholar, a politician, and diplomatist. Francis Lightfoot, the subject of the present memoir, was perhaps not less distinguished, although he had not the advantages, which were enjoyed by the eldersons, of an education at the English universities. His advantages, however, were not of a moderate character. He was placed under the care of a domestic tutor of the name of Craig, a gentleman distinguished for his love of letters, and for his ability to impart useful knowledge to those of whom he had the care. Under such a man, the powers of Francis Lightfoot rapidly unfolded. He acquired an early fondness for reading and mental investigation, and became well acquainted with the various branches of science and literature. The fortune bequeathed him by his father rendered the study of a profession unnecessary. He, therefore, devoted himself for several years to reading, and to the enjoyment of his friends. He was a man, however, in whom dwelt the spirit of the patriot, and who could not well be neglected, nor could he well neglect his country, when the political troubles of the colonies began. In 1765, he was returned a member of the house of burgesses from the county of Loudon, where his estate was situated. In this situation, he proved himself to be a gentleman of strong good sense and discriminating judgment; and to this office he was annnally re-elected until 1772; when having become connected by marriage with a daughter of Colonel John Tayloe, of the county of Richmond, he removed to that county, the citizens of which soon after elected him a member o[ the house of burgesses. In 1775, Mr. Lee was chosen a member of the continental congress, by the Virginia convention. This was an eventful period in the annals of America. It was the year in which was shed the first blood in the revolutionary struggle. It was emphatically the year of "clouds and darkness," in which indeed the hope of better days was indulged, but in which, notwithstanding this hope, "men's souls were tried." Mr. Lee continued a member of congress until the spring of 1779. During his attendance upon this body, he seldom took part in the public discussions, but few surpassed him in his warmth of patriotism, and in his zeal to urge forward those measures which contributed to the success of the American arms, and the independence of the country. To his brother, Richard Henry Lee, the high honour was allotted of bringing forward the momentous question of independence, and to him, and his associates in that distinguished assembly, the not inferior honour was granted of aiding and supporting and finishing this important work.

The structure over the home was built to protect the home from further deterioration from the elements. For more information please contact The Menokin Foundation. Photo taken by John Vinci. As already noticed, Mr. Lee retired from congress in the year 1779. It was his wish to be exempted from public care, and in the pleasures of home to seek those enjoyments which were eonsentaneous to his health and happiness. This seclusion, however, he was not permitted long to enioy. The internal condition of Virginia, at this time, was one of much agitation and perplexity. His fellow citizens, justly appreciating the value of such a man, summoned him by their suffrages to represent them in the legislature of Virginia. Although reluctantly, he obeyed the summons, and took his seat in that body. He was fond of ease, and of the pleasures of domestic life; still he was conscious of his obligations, and most faithfully discharged them. While a member of the continental congress, he had been characterized for integrity, sound judgment, and love of country. In his present office, he was distinguished for the same virtues. He could not content himself, however, long in this situation. He became wearied with the duties of public life; and at length, relinquished them for the pleasures of retirement. In this latter course of life, he not only enjoyed himself highly, but contributed greatly to the happiness of many around him. The benevolence of his disposition, and the urbanity of his manners, recommended him both to the old and the young, to the gay and the grave. The poor shared in his benevolence and advice. In his intercourse with his particular friends, he was uncommonly pleasing and instructive. Mr. Lee, having no children to require his care and attention, devoted much of his time to the pleasures of reading, farming, and the company of his friends. His death was occasioned by a pleurisy, which disease about the same time, also, attacked his beloved wife, and terminated the life of both, within a few days of each other. It is said, that he had embraced the religion of the gospel, and that under its supporting hope and consolation, he made his exit in peace from the world. (Source: Rev. Charles A. Goodrich Lives of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence. New York: William Reed & Co., 1856. Pages 416-418) | Lee, Francis (I8109)

The Ellerby family was also from James City County, and the two families may have been related prior to moving to NC. See The Ellerbe Family History, by Ronald William Ellerbe. In November 1728, Edward Young & wife Sarah sold 150 acres to Francis Young for five pds., on the south side of the Morattuck River, adjacent to Robert Hill on Beaverdam. It was part of 570 acres granted to Thomas Whitmell on April 6, 1722, and by him conveyed to Edward Young. Witnesses were William Gray, and James Jones (Bertie Co. Deed Bk. C, p. 55) In February 1736, Francis Young of Edgecombe Precinct sold the same 150 acres on the south side of the Morattuck River to Edward Young, for 30 pds. It adjoined Robert Hill and the river. Witnesses were Joseph John Alston, and Thomas Kearney (Edgecombe Deed Bk 1, p. 185). Note that Thomas Kearney was married to Sarah Alston, sister of Joseph John Alston. This might suggest that either Francis or Edward Young was also an Alston relative, but that has not been proven. Joseph John and Sarah Alston were children of John Alston and Mary Clark, of County Bedford, England. The Alston line can be traced back to Edward Alston, born circa 1507 in County Suffolk, England (Ancestry World Tree, at www.ancestry.com). The relationship between Edward and Francis Young has not yet been determined. In February 1737, Francis Young sold 436 acres on Hubquarter Creek to Edward Jones, for 100 pds. Witnesses were Joseph John Alston, Edward Young (E his mark) and Thomas Kearney (Edgecombe Deed Bk. 1, p. 216). This was a grant to Francis Young dated 30 June 1738, so he seems to have sold the land before the grant was officially recorded (Patent Book 3, p. 401). Hubquarter Creek is in present day Warren County, NC. 20 Apr 1737 -- John Thompkins of Edgecombe Pct. to Thomas Lynch, 25 pounds current money for 100 acres, a tract and plantation on the south side of the Morratock river, joining the Beaverdm creek, Thomas Elleby [Ellerby], the river and FRANCIS YOUNG. All houses, orchards, gardens, etc., part of a patent for 570 acres granted to Thomas Whitmel on 6 Apr 1722, and by him conveyed to EDWARD YOUNG, and by the said Young conveyed to Robert Hill, and by the said Hill conveyed to the said Thompkins, 28 Mar 1730. Witnesses: William Person, EDWARD YOUNG, Thomas Elerbe. Reg. Edgecombe Pct., August Court 1737. Thomas Kearney, D. C. Ct. 1 Also in June 1738, Francis Young was granted 192 acres in Edgecombe Precinct on the west side of Buffalo Branch, joining the branch (Patent Book 3, p. 401). In November 1738, Francis Young was granted 244 acres in Edgecombe on the northwest side of Buffalo Branch (Patent Book 3, p. 408). 10 Feb 1738/9 -- Thomas Lynch to EDWARD YOUNG, both of Edgecombe Pct., 20 pounds current money of Virginia for 100 acres more or less, on the south side of the Moratock river, joining Beaverdam creek, Thomas Ellerbe, FRANCIS YOUNG and the river. all houses, buildings, etc. Witnesses: William Person, John Macon, John Ellerbe, Reg: J. Edwards, C. Ct. 2 23 March 1742, Francis Young, of South Carolina, sold 400 acres on both sides of Hubquarter Creek to Sugar Jones, for 70 pds. Witnesses were John Bergeron and Edward Jones (Edgecombe Deed Bk. 5, p. 52). 23 March 1742, Francis Young, of South Carolina, sold 200 acres on the north side of Fishing Creek, in the fork of Hubquarter, to Thomas Person for 15 pds. The land joined the creek, and was a patent to Francis Young dated 17 Oct 1735. Witnesses were Edward Jones and John Bergeron (Edgecombe Deed Bk. 5, p. 73). 23 March 1742, Francis Young of South Carolina sold 244 acres on the north side of Buffalo branch to John Ledbeter for 24 pds. The land joined Doe Hill and the branch. Witnesses were Edward Jones (x his mark) and John Bergeron (Edgecombe Deed Bk. 5, p. 75). This was the grant from November 1738. In the Council Journal, 9th November, 1743, is this entry: "Francis Young petitioned for 150 acres of land in the Welch Tract on the south side of the river, bounding between John Thomas's line and one Vaughn's land; and the Petitioner at the same time produced a certificate of his having lived here before the settlement of the Welch, signed by two Justices of the Peace, in that place. He appeared in person, and his petition was granted." 3 From the same source (Gregg), page 61: "The exclusive privileges of the Welch in the large tract appropriated to them led, in some instances, to difficulties either with those who came before them, thus acquiring the right of prior occupancy of the soil, though not having secured a legal title, or with others, who afterwards were allowed to settle among them, but subsequently [were] objected to as neighbors by the Welch. The latter were doubtless clannish in their feelings, and unwiling to encourage strangers to come among them. Of the first class mentioned, was Francis Young, one of the earlliest settlers within the limits of the upper portion of the Welch Tract of whom any record remains. He is suppossed to have immigrated from Ireland." 2 August 1744, Francis Young of South Carolina sold 192 acres on Buffalo Branch to William Bobbitt, Sr., of North Carolina, for seven pds. Witnesses were Richard Benett and Charles Tomson (x his mark) (Edgecombe Deed Bk. 5, p. 339). This was the land Francis had been granted in 1738. In 1745, Francis Young received two grants of land in what is now Marlboro County, and was then Craven County. He had a son-in-law, Edward Young, living in Bertie County, NC. The relationship between Edward and Francis Young is not known. In May 1748, Francis Young bought 500 additional acres in Craven County, adjacent to his 1745 land grants, for 100 pounds SC money. The land was on the SW side of the Pee Dee River, Andrew Johnson was the grantor. The witnesses to the deed were Benjamin Coachman and Peter Secore. James Gillespie was the Justice of the Peace, and William Hopton the Register (SC Deeds Bk F-F, p. 229). In April 1755, Francis Young's son Isam Young gave 150 acres in Craven County to his brother-in-law Edward Holmes. The land bounded NE on the Pee Dee River, north on Evan Vaughn, south on Francis Young, and SE on John Thompson, Jr. Isam also gave Edward Holmes 100 acres "adjoining the old field belonging to another tract." The witnesses were William Rhodes, John Wade, and John Lide. John Cranford was the J. P., and William Hopton, the Register (SC Deed Bk P-P, p. 494). In Oct 1755, Sarah Young leased 400 acres to Bedience Young, Sr. for 20 years (Agreement & Assignment). This lease included 200 acres lying outside the lake, with the plantation & houses where Bedience now lives. And another 200 acres adjoining the river & John Lide's land, and the lower line of the land on which Sarah now lives. Witnesses were William Rhodes, Edward Homes, & Francis Williamson. Alexander MackIntosh was the J. P. In Dec 1763, William Rhodes, executor of the will of Bedience Young, assigns said Articles of Agreement to Richard Farr. Witnesses were John Milton, Thomas Gamble, and William Farr. Thomas Wade was the J. P. and Fenwicke Bull the Register (SC Deeds Bk F-3, p. 11). 4 Sep 1758, Daniel Pegram was granted 733 acres in Granville County in the parish of St. John on both sides of Hubquarter Creek, joining Thomas Bell, FRANCIS YOUNG, and Harriss line. OR: /s/ Daniel Pegram. Wits: Jas. Paine, Geo. Disbrowe. Entered 6 Nov 1755, surveyed 6 Jun 1756. SCC: Thomas Harthon, Elexr. Anderson, Sher. Haywood, D. Sur. In June 1760, Edward Holmes, planter, and Rebecca his wife (daughter of Francis Young), sold 150 acres to Michael Alderage for 300 pounds SC money. The land was in Craven County, SC, bounding NE on the Pee Dee River, NW on Evan Vaughn, SW on Francis Young, and SE on John Thompson, Jr. Witnesses were William James, Jr., and William Rhodes. The deed was recorded in Aug 1767 before George Hicks, Fenwicke Bull, Register (SC Deed Bk G-3, p. 603). Also in June 1760, Edward Homes & Rebecca his wife (daughter of Francis Young) sold 100 acres to James Pitman for 200 pounds currency. This land was part of a tract granted to Francis Young, on which Homes now lives. It was given to Edward Homes by Isam Young. Witnesses were Edward Young & Ethelred Pitman. William Lord was the J. P. and Fenwicke Bull the Register (SC Deed Bk F-3, p. 13). In June 1765, Edward Young, and Esther his wife (daughter of Francis Young) of Bertie County, NC, sold 270 acres to Rebecca Lide of Craven County, SC for 50 pounds sterling. The land was in the Welch Tract, and was about one-fourth of the 1100 acres granted to Francis Young and Andrew Johnston in Nov 1747. The witnesses were Thomas Young and William Rhodes. Alexander Mackintosh was the J. P., and Fenwicke Bull the Register (SC Deeds Bk E-3, p. 533). In July 1765, James Pitman, planter, of Anson County, NC, sold 100 acres to Jonathan Williams, planter, of Craven County, SC, for 300 pounds SC money. This land was part of a tract granted to Francis Young, on which Jonathan Williams now lives. Witnesses were Samuel Pitman and James Smith. Thomas Wade was J. P., and Fenwicke Bull was Register (SC Deed Bk F-3, p. 15). In August 1765, Jonathan Williams and his wife Mary sold this land to Richard Farr (SC Deed Bk F-3, p. 17). In Oct 1765, John Flower, yeoman, of Anson County, NC, and Obedience his wife (daughter of Francis Young), sold their one-fourth undivided part of 1100 acres in Craven County, SC to Samuel Butler, for 300 pounds SC money. This land was the residue of two tracts, as follows: 1) 700 acres granted to Francis Young in 1745, bounding NE on the Pee Dee River, NW on John Thompson, Jr., deceased, NE on said Thompson and said Young, SE on Mary Evans, other sides on vacant land; 2) 500 acres granted to Andrew Johnson on the SW side of the Pee Dee River, bounding on all other sides on Francis Young. Johnson sold this land to Francis Young in 1748. Young sold 100 acres in the NW part of the first tract to Edward Holmes. Francis Young then died intestate, leaving one son and four daughters; Isam (the son), Mary (who married James Gillespie), Rebecca (who married Edward Holmes), Esther (who married Edward Young), and Obedience (who married John Flower). The 1100 acres descended to Isam Young, only son & heir. Isam died intestate. Soon after his death, Isam's wife Sarah bore a son who died a short time afterwards. So the 1100 acres descended to Mary, Rebecca, Esther, and Obedience. Now Obedience and her husband sell their share of the 1100 acres to Samuel Butler, free from all claims except the right of dower by Isam's widow, who afterwards married William Hicks. Witnesses were Samuel Crawford & Francis Gillespie. Thomas Wade was the J. P., & Rowland Rugeley was Register (SC Deed Bk O-3, p. 363-376). In Dec 1766, Thomas Sims, planter, and Rebecca his wife, sold 150 acres in Craven County to Thomas Lide for 450 pounds currency. The land was on the SW side of the Pee Dee River, bounding NW on Evan Vaughn, SW on Francis Young, and SE on John Thompson. This land was granted to Francis Young in May 1745, suggesting that Rebecca Sims may have been Rebecca Young, daughter of Francis Young. Witnesses were Rebecca Lide and John Heustess. Thomas Wade was the J. P., and Fenwicke Bull the Register (SC Deed Bk G-3, p.595). Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, Book 1, page 218.

| 1333 | Francis, preparing to make war on his rival after Charles's election as emperor, attempts first to secure an important ally on his western flank - England's Henry VIII, the third in this trio of autocratic young rulers born within a few years of each other. If Francis is to march safely against Charles, he cannot in his absence risk Henry pressing his family's ancient claim to the throne of France, or even extending the territory round England's last remaining French possession, the pale of Calais. Francis therefore invites Henry in 1520 to the spectacularly lavish meeting which becomes known as the Field of Cloth of Gold. The conviviality of the Field of Cloth of Gold fails to deliver an English alliance (Henry immediately moves on to a less sumptuous but more fruitful meeting with Charles V in Kent, where each agrees to make no pact with Francis for at least two years). In 1521 Francis moves against Spanish land in the Pyrenees, beginning years of intermittent warfare. In 1522 an imperial army drives the French out of Milan. Three years later Francis marches into Italy to reclaim his territory, with disastrous consequences. The French are heavily defeated at Pavia, in 1525, and Francis himself is taken prisoner. Soon he is in a fortress in Madrid, negotiating with Charles under duress. After six months Francis secures his release from Madrid by giving up his claims to Flanders, Artois and Tournai in the Netherlands, to Milan, Genoa and Naples in Italy, and to the duchy of Burgundy. But he has little intention of keeping his word. Within two months of his return to France, in 1526, he has put in place a pact, the League of Cognac, allying himself with Venice and a new pope, Clement VII. This time it is the pope who soon finds himself a prisoner. An imperial army, campaigning in Italy and containing large numbers of unpaid German mercenaries, marches in 1527 on the holy city of Rome. Rome is sacked, looted and ravaged with the violence customary on such occasions. Rich citizens are seized for ransom; there are stories of nuns offered for sale on the streets. The pope manages to reach the security of the Castel Sant'Angelo where he shelters, a prisoner in all but name, until the imperial army is at last withdrawn from the city. These violent events prompt the treaty of Cambrai, signed in 1529 and known as the 'ladies' peace' because its terms are negotiated between Francis's mother and one of Charles's aunts. It confirms the concessions made by Francis in Madrid, except that now Charles renounces his claim to the original duchy of Burgundy (only a small part of his Burgundian inheritance). While coping with French hostility, Charles has other major concerns not shared by his rival - aggression from the Turks (on the empire's eastern frontier, and in the Mediterranean), and the Protestant unrest which is creating turmoil in Germany. In 1529 (the year of the treaty between Charles and Francis) the Turks besiege Vienna and the pirate Barbarossa, working in alliance with the Turkish sultan, secures himself a base in Algiers. In 1530 Charles finds time to have himself formally crowned emperor by the pope in Bologna. Then he hurries north to negotiate with the Protestants at Augsburg. In 1531 Protestant princes form the League of Schmalkalden in opposition to Charles. In these circumstances there is every reason for the two leading European monarchs, both Roman Catholic, to stand together. But Francis cannot accept the defeat implicit in the treaty of Cambrai. He now shocks contemporary opinion by negotiating with Protestants and even Muslims for an alliance against the Habsburg empire. Francis goes to war twice more against Charles, in 1536-8 and 1542-4. The fate of Nice in 1543 suggests very well the bitter and improbable results of this royal rivalry. The Muslim ally of Francis in the siege of Nice (in the duchy of Savoy, which is part of the empire) is Barbarossa. The famous pirate, now a Turkish admiral, carries off 2500 Christians into captivity. Although the loser in the long struggle with Charles V, Francis I leaves his mark on France in many ways. As in England and Spain at the same period, royal authority is strengthened during his reign with an increasingly centralized administration. And the royal splendour is reflected in art and architecture. Francis is the monarch, more than any other, who brings the Renaissance to France. Leonardo da Vinci is the greatest artist attracted to the court of Francis I, but he is only one of many. And these artists adorn buildings which are now palaces, rather than royal castles or hunting lodges. The centre of French court life is Fontainebleau, a royal hunting lodge almost entirely rebuilt by Francis I from 1527. Here he brings the Italian artists Rosso Fiorentino (in 1530) and Primaticcio (in 1532), who together establish a French style of mannerist painting known as the school of Fontainebleau. They are joined in 1540 by the goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, whose famous golden salt cellar is made at Fontainebleau. Francis has earlier rebuilt Chambord, from 1519 - in name a castle on the Loire, in style a palace. In 1546 he begins to transform Paris's old royal castle, the Louvre, into yet another palace. France is later the home of absolute monarchy. In Francis I it has a foretaste of the theme. In the last few years of the reign of Francis I the persecution of Protestants within Catholic France grows more pronounced. The religious clash first becomes a prominent issue in France with the so-called 'affair of the placards' in 1534, when radical Protestants indulge in an unwise and intemperate gesture. During the night of October 17 the streets of Paris and other towns are secretly plastered with posters mocking the sacrament of the mass. One is even found the next morning on the door of the bedroom in which Francis I is sleeping at Amboise. Over the next few months there is an energetic rounding up of Protestants. Twenty-three are burnt at the stake before politics dampens religious fervour. Francis needs the friendship of German Lutheran princes. In the 1540s there is a return to religious severity. It is prompted partly by the publication in 1541 of Calvin's French version of his Latin Institutes, in which he sums up his Protestant theology. His book is burnt in 1544, and the martyrdom of Protestants resumes - though not as yet in dramatic numbers. In 1555 Jean Crespin records their suffering in his Book of Martyrs, the equivalent of Foxe's influential volume in England. The greatest outrage of the 1540s, the massacre of the Waldenses, cannot be blamed directly on Francis or on government policy. Local officials in Provence deliberately mislead the king in order to justify the persecution. The Waldenses, a medieval sect attracted by the ideals of reform, adopt a creed close to that of Calvin. In 1545 their villages are burnt and some 3000 men, women and children are massacred. Religious policy becomes more rigid during the reign of Francis's son, Henry II. A special court (the chambre ardente, 'burning chamber') is set up in Paris in 1547 for the trying of heretics. The French Reformation is about to acquire its uniquely intense and political character. | Deupree, Louis Claude I (I7182)

G of the 21st Alabama Infantry. Story of the death of Charles Banks Cobb: (Courtesy of Barbara Rowe) "Charles B. Cobb was at home on sick leave when he was murdered on Feb. 10, 1865. It was said that he first left home going in an easterly direction and buried $6,000 in gold. When he returned home he came from a westerly direction. No one ever knew where he hid the gold. It is said that afterwards family members dug every place that it could have been buried, but it was never found. He had a trap door under a rug in the kitchen of his home and when the murderers came looking for him he tried to escape but they got him. It is said that a group of night riders (the Blackwell Crowd) which is said to have included his brother Jim Cobb, came to the house. They took Charles out to a apple tree and hung him and shot him. When the men caught Charles it is said that his brother Jim said "let him see who is doing this" and they raised their hoods to let him see. It is said that when Charles' body was found it had some scraps from a new dress that one of Jim's daughter had made. The scrap was used as wadding to hold the powder and lead in the gun. After they left Charles' home they went to the Langston home near Providence Bapst. Church and killed both Charles' son-in-law Jackson (Jack) Langston and his father Willis Langston. They were also hung to a tree and shot. His son, John Alexander Cobb, Grandfather of William A. Cobb, Jr., said that after they killed his father the group robbed and pillaged the house of everything leaving the family destitute. Even the cow and livestock were killed. Amelia lived until Nov. 13, 1915, living to the age of 108. She died of a heavy cold and was buried at Mount Hope cemetery beside her husband Charles, Directions to grave of Charles B. Cobb, located in an abandoned cemetery, previously known as Mount Hope Cemetery, in Northern Chilton County, Alabama are: Exit Interstate I-65 in Chilton Co., AL at the Jemison/Thorsby Exit 219.

A C To A C C This case of A J or L Some scribbles then a slash and what appears to be SY Note: A point of interest to me is the use of the word "dirk", it would point to a Scottish background for someone giving testimony ... as that was a term the Scots used for a small dagger. Also, there was one interesting document regarding James Cobb, he was fined for assault in 1863, during the Civil War. It would have been after he returned to Shelby County. The assault did not take place against an individual as you would suspect ... but against "the dignity of the State of Alabama." It did not give any details and I did not bother making a copy ...just thought it was interesting. (Source: Barbara Cobb Rowe) Shortly after the 1850 census was taken, John and Elizabeth moved to Louisiana settling first in Union Parish and later moving to Natchitoches Parish. In 1850, John settled on 80 acres of land in Section 7, Township 23N, Range 14E. On 11 March 1854, he entered another 40 acres. John S. Cobb's third marriage was to Rebecca Ann Gentry.
