Court of March 8, 1853, Elizabeth petitioned for the sale of the land, the court allowing 40 days grace before demanding an auction of the property. Robert apparently bought the land, but on May 1, 1854, Book 13, P. 237, he sued the heirs for the purchase money. Court directed money be put in Robert's hand for use by Elizabeth, and that title be divested from the heirs and bestowed on Robert. In 1880, Robert sold the land to W.H. Johnson who, in 1884, sold it to W. J. White. In 1942 the Whites sold the land to the U.S. Government for use by Fort Campbell. The grave sites of John and Elizabeth have not been located. The U.S. Army Engineers moved all cemetaries off the Military Reservation, and while some effort was made to record new burial sites, the Boyds, Hudsons and Mathis names do not appear. Many of their neighbors were interred in the Red Top/Fairview Cemetary about a mile south of Highway 79 on the Needmore Road. Many of the markers are eroded, fallen or covered with detritus. This is the most probable site for the Boyd burial site. (Above compiled by Charles Boyd Morgan of Amarillo, Texas.).

| 1638 | Llywelyn ap Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr, also known as "Llywelyn the Last", Prince of Wales from 1246 to 1282). Llywelyn paid homage to King Henry III in 1247, but after rebelling several times he was killed in battle on December 11, 1282 during the reign of King Edward I. Llwelyn was the last of the Welsh princes to rule over an independent Wales. | Of Wales, the Last Llywelyn ap Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr (I3235)

| 1639 | Llywelyn, grandson of Owain Gwynedd, was born in 1173, probably at Dolwyddelan. In 1194 Llywelyn defeated his uncle, Dafydd, whom the English authorities regarded as Owain Gwynedds successor. He went on to claim the rest of Gwynedd following the death of his cousin, Gruffydd, in 1200. By the following year, he was master of the principality. Llywelyn swore an oath of allegiance to King John in 1201 and at first their relationship was a cordial one, Llywelyn marrying King Johns daughter, Joan, in 1205. During the following years, Llywelyn extended his authority in Wales by gaining land in various parts of the country. But although he was careful not to antagonise his father-in-law he faced a ferocious attack by him in 1211 when he stormed across the Conwy to Aber and Bangor which was burned, Llywelyn was forced to surrender and his authority severely curtailed. After that, about the Calends of August, the king (John) returned to Wales in fiercer mood and with a larger host, and he built many castles in Gwynedd. And across the river Conwy he went towards the mountains of Eryri. And he incited some of his host to burn Bangor... And then Llywelyn, being unable to suffer the oppression of the king, by the council of his leading men, sent to the king his wife, who was daughter to the king, to make peace between him and the king on whatsoever terms she could. But he quickly recovered, exploiting King Johns struggle with his barons and regained and increased his power. In 1215 he even captured the important town of Shrewsbury. After King Johns death in 1216, Llywelyn faced a less formidable English king, his brother-in-law, Henry III, and during the following quarter of a century both remained on generally friendly terms. 1215 - And then Llywelyn ap Iorwerth and the Welsh made for Shrewsbury; and without resistance the town and castle were surrendered to him. During the last 20 years of his life, Llywelyn dominated and led most of native Wales (Pura Wallia), dealing without too much difficulty with Henry III`s somewhat half hearted attempts to assert his authority. Llywelyn`s ability to develop and increase the military and economic strength within Wales is considered to be a key factor in his success. Llywelyn died in April 1240 having succeeded 20 years earlier in gaining Henry III`s support for he feudal rule of succession. This stated that a single heir should inherit his fathers estate rather than dividing it among the sons of the deceased ruler. Llywelyn and Joans son, Dafydd, therefore succeeded him. The first Prince of Wales who defeated his uncle Dafydd in 1194 and was acknowledged as overlord by other Welsh princes. At first Llywelyn was on good terms with King John of England and he married King John's daughter Joan in 1206. However, after King John attacked him in 1210, Llywelyn allied hinself with the barons who opposed King John. When the barons pressured King John to sigh the Magna Charta in 1215, the rights of Llywelyn and the Welsh were recognised.

| 1644 | Louis XIII's wife, whom he treats with cold disdain during twenty-eight years of marriage, is the Spanish princess Anne, daughter of Philip III. She is known as Anne of Austria (Austria being broadly used for any of the Habsburg dynasties). Late in her marriage she conceives and bears a son, the future Louis XIV. The child is only four when Louis XIII dies in 1643. Anne is appointed regent and immediately selects as her principal minister a brilliant protégé of Cardinal Richelieu. He is the Italian Giulio Mazzarini (known as Jules Mazarin to the French), a diplomat and cardinal who has become closely involved in the French government - originally as a papal delegate to Paris. Anne and Mazarin are immediately confronted by demands from princes and nobles whose privileges have been reduced by Richelieu during the previous reign and who now want them restored. What a French cardinal has been able to take away with the full support of an adult king, it will prove very much harder for a foreign cardinal to withhold during a regency. The central theme of Mazarin's government becomes the need to maintain order against the demands of a fractious nobility. But for the moment France is at war (since 1635) with the Habsburg dynasties of Spain and Austria. There are practical tasks to keep the nobles busy. The war begun by Richelieu is continued with great success by Mazarin, thanks largely to a young prince and a nobleman, the prince de Condé and and the vicomte de Turenne, who prove to be brilliant generals. Condé wins a sensational victory over a Spanish army in 1643 at Rocroi, on France's border with the Spanish Netherlands. In the next five years he and Turenne together harry the imperial armies throughout southern Germany. 1648 brings peace (with Austria, though not yet with Spain) and peace brings trouble at home. The discontent of the grandees, and their resentment of Mazarin in person, erupts into rebellion and civil war - in the sequence of events known as the Fronde. The Fronde is the name given to the many interconnecting disturbances affecting France for five years from 1648. The word means "sling", and the target at which brickbats are metaphorically slung is the principal minister, Mazarin. The grievances of the rebels are complex, ranging from loss of privileges by the nobility, through loss of rights by the traditional institutions of Paris such as the parlement, to a more widespread sense of grievance over too much tax ruthlessly extracted to pay for the recent war. But the underlying theme is a rejection of the absolute and centralized rule achieved by Richelieu on behalf of Louis XIII. In this respect the Fronde has something in common with another great struggle against royal power being carried on across the English channel. The Frondeurs in Paris are excited by the success of parliament in the English civil war (though the execution of the English king in 1649 is seen as a step decidedly too far). The English war succeeds in asserting the rights of parliament, and in particular the commons. By contrast the Fronde fails completely to recover the lost priviliges of the nobility. Instead it leads to even greater absolutism in the reign of Louis XIV. But at times it seems a close-run thing. During the five years of the Fronde there are three periods of active civil war interspersed with two of uneasy calm. The relative positions of Mazarin, Condé and Turenne at each stage indicate how volatile the situation is. During the first brief period of war (January to March 1649) the parlement in Paris are the rebels. The queen regent and Mazarin flee with the young king. Condé besieges Paris on their behalf. Turenne sides with the rebels, offering his services to Spain to lead an army from the Rhine against France. Mazarin is in control again after the capitulation of Paris in March 1649. But Condé, saviour of the situation, behaves with increasing arrogance - prompting Mazarin to arrest him and other princes in January 1650. The supporters of the imprisoned princes resort to arms, beginning another thirteen months of civil war. Turenne, now acting in Condé's interest, again serves with a Spanish army. By February 1651 all Mazarin's enemies are united against him. He escapes to Cologne. For much of the next six months Condé dominates Anne, the queen regent. But his brief spell in power is brought to an end by the calendar. In September 1651 Louis XIV comes officially of age, at thirteen. The regency is over. With the support of the young king, Anne is now stronger than Condé - who flees from Paris to organize a new rebellion with Spanish help. Mazarin returns to France. This time Turenne sides with the court against Condé, his old companion in arms. The two meet in July 1652 in the battle of the Faubourg St Antoine, fought in the streets just outside the walls of Paris. It is a resounding victory for Turenne. By the following spring all is calm. The Fronde has ended. Mazarin can continue to lay the foundations for an absolutist reign which the rebels have signally failed to prevent. He does so with tact and skill. A few of the prominent leaders are exiled. There are no executions. A measure of Mazarin's success is a remarkable scene twenty years later. Both Turenne and Condé have been traitors at some point during the Fronde, fighting at the head of Spanish armies. Yet they remain welcome, in a subordinate role, in royal France. When Louis XIV goes to war against the United Provinces in 1672, he rides north in person at the head of a magnificent army. Beside him, as his lieutenants, are the two greatest French generals of the era, Turenne and Condé, now aged sixty-one and fifty-one respectively. They have been visibly brought to heel. | Deupree, Jean (I7165)

| 1645 | Louisiana Osbin Daugherty was a twin, but not an identical one. She was the "beautiful" sister, while her twin Siotha (note the old Irish name) was "plain." The story goes that her mother, Malinda Osbin, was one of several poor children in a family that had to hire out to people around Grayson County. Malinda worked for many years as a servant in the house of Caneyville storeowner, Stephen Bond. When she was 39, she gave birth to the twin girls, Louisiana and Siotha, whom Stephen Bond supported until their adulthood. At least some of Stephen's descendants claimed the relationship with Lou and Aunt Si. Louisiana was born in April, 1870, in Grayson County, Kentucky, and died March 12, 1957. She is buried by her husband, Austin Columbus, and near her son John Henry, who was killed at age 17 in a hunting accident. (Source: Donna Hart) | Osbin, Louisiana (I7689)
