| 1701 | Matlda is known, in order to differentiate her from the many other Matildas, as Maude. Matilda is a female name, of Teutonic derivation, meaning "mighty warrior." Its most common alternate forms are Maud and "Mathilde." Matilda is the Latin form of the name "Maud" (or "Maude"). Maud was christened Adelaide, but took her mother's name of Matilda when she married for the first time, on January 7. January 7 is the 7th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 358 days remaining (359 in leap years). January 7 - Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England, marries Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor Births | Of England, Matilda (I3213)

| 1705 | Mazarin dies, in 1661, he leaves a kingdom at peace, externally as well as internally. The long war with Spain, conducted since 1635, has ended in 1659 with the treaty of the Pyrenees. France makes useful gains on both her borders with Spain, taking land from Flanders and Luxembourg in the Spanish Netherlands and along the Pyrenees in the south. Under the treaty Louis XIV also marries the Spanish infanta Maria Theresa (Marie Thérèse to the French). She brings a useful dowry of 500,000 crowns, but she renounces her rights to the Spanish crown. (The renunciation is overlooked two generations later, when an unexpected result of this marriage is a Bourbon prince on the throne of Spain.) Mazarin also leaves to Louis XIV his very talented deputy Colbert, much as Mazarin himself was bequeathed to Louis XIII by Richelieu. Colbert is entrusted with reform of the French economy, which he carries out with great efficiency over the next twenty-two years. But his relationship with the king differs from that of his predecessors. Richelieu and Mazarin acted with almost complete authority as principal minister, in a form of government which became known as the ministériat. After Mazarin's death Louis will have no more of that. He becomes his own principal minister, directly controlling every aspect of state policy. Colbert and other colleagues in government are merely the king's loyal servants. It is probable that Louis never said L'État c'est moi ("the State is myself"), traditionally quoted as part of an address in 1655 to the Paris parlement (the powers of which he subsequently restricts). But even if apocryphal, the statement reflects Louis' concept of his kingly role. Moreover the state which he personifies is one which he strives ceaselessly to make more powerful and more spectacular. His ambitions are seen in the palace which he creates at Versailles from 1664, and in the series of aggressive military campaigns with which he attempts to enlarge France's borders. His great projects leave the kingdom bankrupt at the end of a long reign. But in the scale of their ambition they are magnificent. In August 1661, five months after the death of Mazarin, Louis XIV is the guest of honour at a festivity presented by Nicolas Fouquet - the minister entrusted by Mazarin with the finance department. The event takes place at the superb palace of Vaux-le-Vicomte, near Melun, built by Fouquet over the previous five years as his personal residence. With Le Vau as the architect, Le Brun designing the interiors and Le Nôtre in charge of the spectacular gardens, Vaux-le-Vicomte is one of the great French baroque palaces. The king does not like what he sees. Or rather he likes it very much indeed - but not in the hands of one of his subjects. Much as Hampton Court harmed Wolsey in the eyes of Henry VIII, Vaux-le-Vicomte seals the fate of Fouquet. The palace itself, with the lavishness of the entertainment, convinces the king that so much wealth can only be ill-gotten. Fouquet is arrested in September and is tried for embezzlement. Colbert plays a perfidious role in the proceedings, suppressing all documents favourable to Fouquet's case and thus safeguarding his own new role as finance minister. Fouquet is sentenced to life imprisonment, while Louis goes one stage better than Vaux-le-Vicomte on his own account. In 1664 Fouquet's architect, Le Vau, is commissioned to rebuild the royal lodge at Versailles. Le Brun will do the interiors, and Le Nôtre the gardens. In his palace at Versailles, constructed between 1664 and 1710, Louis XIV creates an architectural symbol of absolute rule. The vast symmetrical building (sufficiently complete by 1682 to become the permanent home of the French court) has at its centre a superb piece of theatre - the great Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors), designed in 1678 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart (the royal architect after the death of Le Vau in 1670). Here, where Louis sits in state to receive important visitors, the mirrored walls reflect back and forth the splendour of the occasion. On the ceiling above, as if in the heavens, paintings by Le Brun remind the viewer of glorious moments in the king's life. Some 3000 courtiers live at Versailles, jostling for the king's attention and favours. Status, ever liable to change, is made starkly visible in the details of court ritual. Every part of the king's day is a performance - getting up (the lever), eating (the couvert), going to bed (the coucher). To be allowed to watch him on any such occasion is a privilege, to sit on a stool in his presence a high honour, to be promoted to a chair almost unbearably exciting. The regulations for those not in his presence constantly emphasize his divine status. It is compulsory to bend the knee to a table laid for the king's meal - and even to the royal chamber pot on its way to be emptied. Outside the building the great vistas of Le Nôtre's gardens develop the same theme. Seen from the palace each perspective recedes towards infinity, while the gardens become more natural with increasing distance; seen from outside every path leads back towards the king at the formal centre. These vistas sparkle with light and water, as the many hundreds of fountains designed by Le Nôtre play over sculptured groups praising the king by various allegorial means. And finally - one of their most important purposes - the gardens make the perfect setting for the spectacular fêtes de Versailles, celebrating the greatness of France and of Louis in pageant form. While Louis himself is the star of France's grandest and longest-running piece of theatre, he is also keenly interested in performance of a more conventional sort. He is lucky in being able to call on France's three greatest dramatists, all working during his reign, Corneille, Racine and Molière. But the type of theatre which most appeals to him is ballet. At the age of twelve, in 1651, he dances five comic roles in a court ballet (a Bacchante, a man of ice, a Titan, a Muse and a divine). Two years later he appears as Apollo, wearing a glorious sun costume - an early contribution to the cult of himself as the Sun King, which he fosters throughout his reign. The dancers in court ballets are the courtiers themselves, and a large part of the pleasure comes from watching one's friends prance about in spectacular costumes. The English diarist John Evelyn sees Louis XIV dancing in Paris in 1651; he marvels not so much at the dancing as at so many sumptously attired aristocrats. But Louis XIV himself is genuinely interested in dancing, and in 1661 he decides that his colleagues are not up to scratch. He brings together the best Parisian dancing masters to form the Académie Royale de Danse, where his friends' skills may be honed. It is so successful that he follows it in 1669 with a similar Académie Royale de Musique. These two institutions are merged to form the Paris Opéra (still in existence today). From 1672 professional dancers are trained. The institution settles down into what is recognizably a ballet company. The first director, Pierre Beauchamp, choreographs many ballet sequences with music by Lully and others - and he devises his own system for recording the steps. (He is often credited with inventing the five classic positions for the feet, but more probably he is merely the first to record them.) Confronted by the challenge of the king's building plans, and determined that every detail shall proclaim the majesty of his master, Colbert sets up a royal factory to provide the furniture and soft furnishings which will be needed. He does this by buying in 1662 the Paris workshops of the Gobelin family, in the Faubourg St Marcel. They are renamed the Manufacture Royale des Meubles de la Couronne (Royal Factory of Crown Furniture). In the following year Charles le Brun, now official painter to the king, is made director of the new establishment. Craftsmen are gathered from far and wide, raw materials are brought in. The intention is that everything required by the king, and luxury goods purchased by others in France, shall be made to very high standards here or in similar establishments within the kingdom - and that a surplus of such items will be available for sale abroad. This is in keeping with mercantilism, the economic orthodoxy of the 17th and 18th centuries. The mercantile theory states that countries grow rich by importing little and exporting much, thus storing up a healthy balance of payments in the form of the gold which other nations pay for the exported goods. For this same purpose Colbert introduces standards for goods manufactured in France (penalties include the pillory for shoddy work); he improves internal transport, with major undertakings such as the Canal du Midi; he builds up the merchant fleet so that precious French funds are not spent on the carrying trade; he establishes colonial enterprises (the East India and West India companies, both founded in 1664) to ensure a supply of raw materials; and he erects tariff barriers against imports. Many of these measures are effective, though tariffs tend to provoke the same in retaliation. But any lasting benefit from Colbert's efforts is undermined by Louis XIV's military adventures. From the moment of taking power into his own hands, in 1661, Louis XIV bases his policy in all fields on one over-riding aim - to increase the power and glory of France. In foreign affairs this primarily means extending the kingdom's frontiers. Louis sees his first chance when his father-in-law, Philip III of Spain, dies in 1665. Disregarding the fact that his Spanish wife has renounced her claim to the Spanish kingdom, Louis finds spurious legal reasons to argue that parts of the Spanish Netherlands should devolve to her. The resulting conflict, caused by French troops marching into Spanish territory in 1667, is known therefore as the War of Devolution. France's two great warriors, Turenne and Condé, are once again to the fore. Turenne seizes part of the Spanish Netherlands in 1667. Early in 1668 Condé takes only two weeks to occupy the whole of Franche-Comté. The peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1668 restores much of the lost territory to Spain but nevertheless leaves France with considerable gains in Flanders. Louis' great military engineer, Sebastien de Vauban, immediately moves in to protect the new acquisitions with state-of-the-art fortification. This is a pattern which is regularly repeated. In 1672 Louis launches a campaign against the United Provinces of the Netherlands, which leads to a succession of wars ending only in the treaties of Nijmegen in 1678-9. The terms agreed at Nijmegen again bring Louis territory on his borders at the expense of Spain (this time Franche-Comté is finally ceded to France, having been returned to Spain in 1668). During the 1680s Louis uses a more nibbling form of policy, in which he claims to be effecting "reunion" between France and territories once owing feudal allegiance to the French king. On this basis he gradually strengthens the rather vague rights granted to France in 1648 in Alsace and Lorraine. He seizes Strasbourg in 1681 and Luxembourg in 1684. By the treaty of Regensburg, in 1684, both are ceded to France. The aggressive tone of France's policy is reflected in other less dramatic ways. Louis tries to insist on his ambassadors taking precedence over all others in foreign courts; French ships are ordered to abandon the conventional custom of saluting British ships in British waters; there is a battle in the streets of Rome after a dispute over precedence between the French ambassador's escort and the papal guard. Internally the same insistence upon the king's pre-eminence leads to repression of any who disagree with Louis' preferred version of Christianity. | Deupree, Barthelemy I (I7156)

She is to have all the household and kitchen furniture except for items left to my sons, a horse, the livestock necessary for her support as determined by my Exrs, and all the provisions, fodder, and grain on hand is to be retained for the support of my family." To son Samuel B. Knox, the portion of my plantation adj. the Catawba River and Semrill, as well as the Negro Will at the death of my wife, the Negro Louisa and her issue, a cow and calf, and all that I have given heretofore on condition that he pay to my dau-in-law, Hannah S. Knox $100 and to my son James B. Knox $200 within two years after my demise. I give to my son James B. Knox the Negro Mary and her issue, a horse and colt, two cows and calves, a third of my cattle and hogs, and a bed and furniture, all on condition that they pay to my grandson John Knox $100 within two years after my demise. I will to my son Joseph Knox all the balance of my plantation I now live on less the portion willed to my son Samuel, as well as the Negro Andy and, at the decease of my wife, the Negro Jenny. I also give my son Joseph a horse, two cows and calves, a third of my cattle and hogs, and a bed and furniture, all on condition that he pay $200 to my son James B. Knox and $100 to my grandson John Knox within two years of my demise. My unwilled farming utensils are to be divided equally between my sons James and Joseph, but my blacksmith tools, cotton gin and wheat thresher are to remain where they are now for the joint use of my three sons. My debts are to be paid by my sons James and Joseph, and if I should fail to provide my grandson John Knox with a horse before my demise, this gift, worth $75, is also to be the responsibility of James and Joseph. Exrs: Samuel B. and James B. Knox Witnesses: John Hart and Mary Lindsey (Codicil of 15 Aug 1842) It is my will that my sons Samuel and Joseph are to be released from the responsibility of paying $200 each to my son James B. Knox. Furthermore, Samuel is to pay $50 instead of $100 to my daug-in-law Hannah S. Knox; James and Joseph are each to pay $50 to my grandson John Knox instead of $100; and the Negro Louisa, named in my will to my son Samuel, is to be valued, my three sons are to draw lots to determine who is to receive her, and the recipient is to pay a third of her value to each of his brothers. October session 1797: Ordered by the court that Bennet Wood be and is hereby appointed as overseer of the road from John Prices to Isaac Prices Ferry and is authorized to call on all the hands liable to work on roads on the under named plantations: Viz: Isaac Price, Hugh Herrons, James Knoxes, Saml. Knoxes, Junr., Mathew Knox's, Joseph Swanns, James Porters, David Hartts, Moses Swann's, Thomas Grier (formerly Blackwoods) John Prices, Samuel Neals, etc……." These were indeed owners of land from what is today Island Point on Lake Wylie going back toward Shopton on Shopton Road West. Note: The Mathew Knox named above was "old Matthew Knox" who was a brother of John Knox, who died in 1777. He had owned the property adjoining his brother John. (this will be covered under the Mathew Knox section). There is also a deed in 1825 from James to his son, Samuel B. Knox for 250 acres. This appears to be about the time that Samuel B. Knox married 1st to Cynthia Pettus. He had probably deeded property to James B. Knox when he married also. I noted that the will did not leave real property to James B, only personal property. | Knox, James (I3584)

| 1718 | MILITARY RECORD OF PHARAOH ARTHUR COBB By P. L. Cobb Pharaoh Arthur Cobb, when he joined the Second Tennessee Cavalry at the first of the Civil War, had previous military experience in the War with Mexico, having volunteered June 10, 1846, for one year and was enrolled in Company K of William R. Caswell in the First Regiment of Tennessee volunteers, commanded by Thomas Mount. He was honorably discharged at new Orleans, May 31, 1847, his year of service having expired, but the real reason for his coming home was a severe illness that reduced him from 160 to less than 100 pound in weight. The discharge states that he was born in Hawkins County, Tennessee, is nineteen years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, dark complexion, hazel eyes, dark hair, and by occupation, when enlisted, a farmer, given at New Orleans, 28th day of May, 1847; approved by Wm. R. Raswell, Capt. Commanding Company. The period of the Civil War was told me in several conversations, much of it after he was eighty years old. I have not tried to verify the data taken from these conversations. He talked freely when questions were asked, but he did not volunteer information. He was always spoken of as a fine soldier and a good commanding officer. He enlisted in the Second Tennessee Cavalry but always claimed that it was the first organized, but that the other regiment beat them to the number. He was in the first Tennessee regiment that went to Mexico and was anxious to have the same honor in the Civil War. As told to me: Officers of the Regiment when it was reorganized were 1. Col. Ashby 2. Lieut-Col. Hal Gillespie 3. Major P. A. Cobb Officers of Company E when first put in the Brigade, were 1. Captain Bob Smith 2. 1st Lieut. P. A. Cobb 3. 2nd Lieut. John Jarnigen 4. 3rd Lieut.

| 1719 | Moses A. Shelby died before September 15, 1834 when John Houston was appointed administrator. (Hardin Co., TN Court Minutes C/11). A year's provisions was laid off to the widow and heirs. (ibid 12)Thomas D. Shelby was appointed guardian of Moses W. Shelby, Sarah Ann Shelby, Mary Amanda Shelby and Elizabeth J. Shelby, minor orphans. According to Johnnie's book: Evan's brother Thomas, who married Sarah about 1784 (based on the births of the children) was born in 1750's at Hunts Cabin, Frederick Co., MD. Thomas & Sarah had only one son. He was Moses A. Shelby b. in 1789 in Poplar Springs, Mecklenburg Co., NC. In the 1800 Census, Sarah is head of the house, with 1 male age 10-16. This would be Moses A. Shelby. On 19 July 1803 Sarah is named guardian for her orphan children, Polly, Sarah, Moses, Ebby and Betsy, in Court Minutes of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, p. 348. On 23 Jan 1805 Moses is bound to Evan ShelbyWylie as apprentice wagon maker, now 16 years old (until he comes of age) in Cabarrus Co. minutes of Pleas & Quarter Sessions. This Moses A.

| 1722 | Most records suggest he probably was born in Union Co. S.C. At least, county records indicate that he moved from Union Co. to Oconee Co. S. C. in 1850 on receipt of a state land grant. His brother, Jesse, moved there at the same time. His wife was born in Townville, S. C. and they were married in Townville. He owned 180 acres next to Mother Mary's place (where Ben still lived on Oliver Perry Woolbright Street till his death in 2000). He sold that farm to his son, William Newton, in 1884. In addition to being a farmer, he was a Magistrate in a small claims and family services court and referred to locally as 'Squire'. Records suggest that Mary moved with him from Union Co. at the same time. A biography of Millie Ann Hollingsworth notes that he taught school for 25 years as a source of extra income. Research: Allie Mae Earle has him born on 07 rather than 20 Nov 1820. | Woolbright, William Samuel (I689)

It seems that his Name on all records married to Mary Polly hand, My great-great grandmother is Robert J. Newsom and a cousin of mine seems to remember that his name was Robert William Newsom. But, a fact is my great grandfather was Newton Jasper Newsom who married his mom\\\'s step daughter after she was granted a divorce from Robert for being found guilty of Adultery and then Married Jerry Evans. Mary Polly Hand Newsom Evans\\\' step daughter was Elizabeth Evans. It is said that Jerry Evans was full blood cherokee Indian and changed his name because he did not want to be known as a savage. He changed his 5 childrens names also. Any way it looks like there is a match between our families. | Newsom, Robert J. (I560)

| 1741 | Nigel Bruce was known to his contemporaries as a "young knight of exceeding beauty." He fought beside his brother Robert Bruce for the independence of Scotland until he was captured at Kildrummy castle in northwestern Scotland. The castle was one of the most formidable in Scotland, well provisioned and manned and capable in oridnary circumstances of withstanding a long siege. Day after day, Nigel Bruce and his men beat off every attack of the English forces with such losses that the enemy considered abandoning the siege. However, the treachery of the blacksmith of the castle led to the loss of the battle. Bribed by the promise of gold, Osborne the blacksmith threw a red-hot plow point into the store of corn. The flames spread rapidly, burning the castle gate and allowing the English to enter. Attacked from all sides, the garrison surrendered. The English fulfilled their bargain with the blacksmith by allowing him all the gold he could carry, then melting it and pouring it down his throat. Nigel and all the other prisoners were made to pay dearly for joining Robert Bruce against Edward I. They were dragged through the streets of Berwick and hanged and then beheaded.
