| 11504 | The Horrid Tragedy in Fleming. We published some days ago, an account of a bloody tragedy in Fleming, the facts of which were stated to us by a gentleman of that county, whose information was at second hand. We are advised by another citizen of that county, residing not far from the scene of blood, that the former account contained sundry errors which we now proceed to correct. We refer of course to the case of Wm. M. Ring. It was not his brother-in0law whom Ringo killed, but his cousin, Wm. S. Pleak. Nor was it his sister whom he shot through the thigh, but a sister of Pleak; though he did shoot at his own sister, the ball passing through her clothes without wounding here. Nor did his mother die the next day, of the shot he inflicted upon her. She was alive on Thursday, but her recovery was deemed hopeless. When it was attempted to take him next day, though he refused to surrender, he did not shoot till he had been shot at. His shot wounded no body on this occasion. He received three shots from as many different rifles, which caused his immediate death. We are not yet fully advised of the circumstances of this mournful affair; but the results of it, as our corrected account now stands were, that Ringo first shot Pleak dead; then shot his mtoher, who is not expected to survive; then shot Miss Pleak, but the wound is not dangerous; then shot at his sister, but without hurting here; and was the next day killed himself, on refusing to surrender. Melancholy and calamitous in all its incidents and results, we have no heart to comment on the affair, except to intimate that Ringo must have been the victim of a desperate insanity. - All the parties were highly respectable people, and we understand no quarrel had existed between them.

| 11507 | The horseman, Hans Månsson from Hanaskede cuts down fruit trees from the royal garden in 1640 in Varnhem to make mane combs for the farms horses - sentenced to death - presented with an alternative to be exiled to New Sweden to help Sweden form a colony in America. Hans Månsson, born 1612, was the son of the horseman of Hanaskede, Lieutenant Måns Persson, born in Lanna 1595- died 1637, 42 years old. His parents were Per and Ingeborg Östensson, born 1570 and 1572. Per was from Nordmaling in Västerbotten and Ingeborg was from Kisa, Östergötland. When Måns became a corporal in the Väsgöta cavalry regiment, his assigned living quarters was in Hanaskede in Norra Wings parish. Hans´mother was Måns first wife, Brita Lillebielke* who most likely died in 1612, when Hans was born. She was only 16 when she and Måns married in 1611. Kerstin Haaskede** became Måns second wife and she was born in 1590 in Hanaskede, they had a child. Kerstin died in 1648, 58 years old. Kerstin was the woman Hans considered to be his mother when growing up. Kerstins widowed mother, Gunilla also lived in Hanaskede and played an active role in Hans´ upbringing. It was clear that Hans would follow in his fathers footsteps becoming a horseman and taking over Hanaskede from his father. After his fathers death, Hans was drafted by the governor at Vings Kyrkebacke and later drafted in the spring by the Västgöta regiment under Hans Stake from Kinnekulle. Hans would be part of the German campaign 1638-1640. Read the rest of the story on the above site and find out why he was deported to New Sweden in the future Colonial America.

| 11510 | The interval upon the north side of Stone Street between the Van Cortlandt house and the present Broad Street is now occupied by buildings fronting upon the latter street, but it was not so occupied originally. In the spring of 1645, Peter Wolphertsen van Couwenhoven, one of several members of a family who came from Amersfoort, only a few miles away from Oloff van Cortlandt’s last dwelling-place in the Netherlands, obtained a grant from Director Kieft of a plot of ground, nearly fifty by one hundred and twenty-five feet in area, at the corner of Stone Street and the present Broad Street, the latter being at this point, and at the time mentioned, a mere narrow road or lane about twenty-five or thirty feet in width, and with an artificial ditch or channel skirting its east side. Here Van Couwenhoven built near the corner of the streets a modest house — one story and a garret only — which in the next year, 1646, he sold to Arnoldus van Hardenbergh. He then immediately acquired from the Director-General the grant of another parcel of about the same size, lying between the first and Van Cortlandt’s garden, and proceeded to build another house here. This he held for several years, until 1652, when he sold it to Pieter Hartgers, who was the owner at the period of our survey. Hartgers, who had married one of the step-daughters of Dominie Bogardus, was engaged much of his time in trading with the Indians, and occupied this house very irregularly. Finally, he appears to have taken up his residence in Fort Orange, or Albany, where he received grants of land, and where he was one of the magistrates in 1658. He acquired the reputation of a great expert as to the values of the Indian wampum, or shell money, and was appointed in 1659 a commissioner at Albany to estimate the same. His intimate acquaintance with the Indians led him to make long expeditions into the forests to drum up trade with them, a course of business which excited great jealousy among his less enterprising rivals. He retained the Stone Street house, but whether as a storehouse in his business, or in the occupation of tenants is not known. At the time of the surrender to the English in 1664, Hartgers became obnoxious to the new government from some cause or other, — possibly from a refusal to take the oath of allegiance, — and his property was confiscated. A curious circumstance, showing the scarcity of money in the Colony, is that so late as 1659 this house was the subject of a mortgage to secure “ three hundred and thirteen whole beaver-skins. ” New Amsterdam and its people. page 79-80 https://archive.org/details/newamsterdamitsp1902inne/page/80/mode/2up | van Couwenhoven, Lt.

| 11511 | The Joseph Project http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hedges/joseph/life.htm It has long been claimed that Joseph Hedges' wife Catharine was the daughter of John and Annika [Erickson] Stalcop. This claim appears to date back to a document entitled THE HEDGES ESTATE, a report by Hon. Thomas A. Logan (1884), p.43, which stated: "There is a tradition in the [Hedges] family which runs as follows: Catherine Stallcup dreamed that a young man called at her father's house for lodging and was informed that he could be provided for, but that they had no stabling for his horse, but at the stranger's suggestion his horse was turned into the cow pasture. In the morning when Catherine went to milk she found the horse in the cow pasture and on going to the house learned that the young man of whom she had dreamed was a guest in the house, and that her dream had actually transpired in the manner it had appeared to her in sleep. The young man proved to be Joseph Hedges the emigrant, and he and Catherine were subsequently married. "Unfortunately the tradition does not give the time and place of this very romantic meeting and wedding, but it has been handed down as an occurrence between my grandparents (correspondent unknown)." From this anonymous source, Samuel Gordon Smyth in his GENEALOGY OF THE DUKE-SHEPHERD-VAN METRE FAMILY (1909) added the parents as John and Magdalena Erickson Stalcop. Subsequent hedges and Stalcop genealogies rely upon Smyth to make the same claims. To this writer, there is no substance to this claim. John Stalcop lived at Christina and it was on his land (sold to the church) that Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church was built. He died in 1700. There is no apparent connection between his family and that of Joseph Hedges: 1. The will of John Stalcop (the only evidence of which is a 1735 copy in the records of Holy Trinity Church) mentions four children: Jonas, Israel, Christina and Mary. No Catharina is among them. [Stalcop genealogists surmount this problem by presuming that Christina was Catharina.] 2. The husbands, if any, of Christina and Maria have not been identified. 3. Both Jonas and Israel Stalcop married. Joseph Hedges did not appear as a baptismal sponsor for [any of] their children and they never appeared as a baptismal sponsor for Joseph's children. 4. It was customary at that time for a married couple to name their children after the couple's parents. Joseph and Catherine Hedges had nine known children: none were named John or Anbnika (Anna). 5. John Stalcop's widow married John Giöding; "Catherine Stallcup" had no "father" at the time she allegedly met Joseph Hedges at her "father's house." In contrast, we do find the name of Joseph Hedges periodically shown in the baptismal records of Holy Trinity Church at Christina. On 2 August 1713 Joseph Hedges was present to be a co-sponsor (with John and Brita Hendrickson) at the baptism of Samuel Hall's daughter Elizabeth. (HTR, 2:22) Samuel Hall's wife was a daughter of Charles Spinger. On 15 May 1715 Joseph Hedges returned to Holy Trinity for the baptism of his own son, Joshua. Baptism sponsors were the pastor Hesselius and his wife, Anders Cock (son of John Anderson Cock) and John Hendrickson's wife Brita. (HTR, 2:53) [After Joseph Hedges died, his] widow Catherine thereafter appears to have married Isaac Bloomfield, who in 1740 witnessed the transfer of "Hedges Delight" from Solomon to Charles Hedges [sons of Joseph of Monocacy]; witnessed the 1747 will of Jacob Julien (first husband of Joseph Hedges' daughter Catherine); and had died by 1751 when Thomas Douthitt swore for him at probate of this will. Joseph Hedges and Joseph Wood were "near of kin" at the death of Catherine Bloomfield in 1749 and Charles Hedges on settling her estate made payments to Thomas Doouthitt, John Bell, Joseph Wood and Stephen Julian. Among the debts due her estate were debts owed by William and Jonas Hedges. At the 19 Nov 1751 court, Joseph and Charles Hedges, farmers, owed Robert DeButts, executor of Isaac Bloomfield £12.19.8. (Information collected by John P. Dern) An addendum: Joseph's Wife [In his monograph, Dr. Craig rejects Catherine Stalcop as the wife of Joseph of Monocacy, but we are never told who Joseph's wife was, because no clear record has ever been found. For Joseph's marriage, the record simply refers to her as "Catharina"; in his will she is simply his "wife". Ten years after he wrote the monograph, however, Dr. Craig did come to an opinion about Catherine's identity, related here with his permission from "1998 Addendum to Hedges Report: Catharine, Wife of Joseph Hedges" (Joseph of Monocacy).] After over ten years of research into the identity of Catharine, wife of Joseph Hedges (#2), I am led to the conclusion that she was the daughter of Samuel and Dorcas Land and stepdaughter of George Hogg, who married Samuel Land's widow about 1688. Samuel Land, later sheriff of New Castle County, and his wife Dorcas Walliam (daughter of James and Mary Walliam) were living near London in 1675 when they received a patent for land in John Fenwick's proposed colony in what later became known as Salem County NJ. Dissatisfied with conditions there, they moved with Dorcas' father to New Castle by 1676. James Walliam died intestate in New Castle in 1693. (Craig Horle, "Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania", 1:727-728) His son-in-law Samuel Land died intestate in New Castle County by 17 March 1686/7 when his widow Dorcas was named administratrix of his estate. (New Castle wills, A:84) She then married George Hogg as his second wife. Dorcas died by 1716 when Hogg married a third time, to Ann Humphreys. (Horle, supra, 1:435-436) The will of Dorcas' mother, Mary Walliam, dated 22 October 1695, named three sons of Dorcas Hogg by her first husband, Samuel Land - Thomas, John and Henry Land - but not her daughters. It seems evident that Catharine, who became the wife of Joseph Hedges, was her daughter. Joseph and Catharine Hedges named their plantation Hedge Hogg and used the names of Samuel and Dorcas in naming their children. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.G. [In May 1999 he added, by letter]: My conclusion that Joseph Hedges' wife was the daughter of Samuel Land and Dorcas Walliam was an insight gleaned from studying Craig Horle's "Lawmaking and Legislators of Pennsylvania," which brought out the connection between the Land family and the Hogg family. John Dern had previously theorized some connection between Joseph Hedges and George Hogg because of the name selected for his Frederick County VA (sic) property - Hedge Hogg. However, research into George Hogg ruled him out as a candidate for being the father of Catharine. My conclusion that George Hogg was Catharine's step-father (not her father) was reached in early 1998 and, of course, was unknown to John Dern before he died in 1995. Had he been alive in 1998, I feel sure that he would have agreed with my conclusion. Indeed, John Dern's notes established the Joseph's mother, Mary, lived next door to Samuel Land in New Castle. | Stalcop, Catherine (I5226)

| 11512 | The Joseph Project http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hedges/joseph/life.htm [Repeated here is a series of excerpts from "The Colonial Descendants of William and Mary Hedges" by Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, Washington D.C. , November 1988, quoted and posted on the HEDGES Biographies/Vital Statistics GenConnect board in 1999 by permission of the author] Charles Hedges (1673-1743). When indentured for 12 years to Thomas Jacobsson … in 1679, he was only five years old. It is likely that relatively soon thereafter, with the death of Thomas Jacobsson, he moved to another Swedish home in the western part of Christiana Hundred along the east side of Red Clay Creek. It was here that he and his brother Joseph Hedges established long-standing relationships with several inter-related Swedish families and it was probably here that they both found Swedish wives soon after 1700. The families were those of John Hedrickson, Charles Springer, John Anderson Cock (brother of Justus Anderson of New Castle) and Stephen Corneliusson. [Some of these and other names the author now introduces have appeared in various theories about who it was that Joseph of Monocacy married; but the author uses the information to show how those theories do not stand up to the facts.] On Midsummer's Day 1699, Charles Hedge was assigned a pew in the new Holy Trinity Church at Christina [Wilmington]. (Horace Burr, Records of Holy Trinity (old Swedes) Church, 63) He had volunteered 15-1/2 days of work on the church and, in addition, had been paid £1.15.0 for cutting stone for one month during its construction. (ID, 47, 48) On 17 August 1704, Charles Hedges purchased 96 acres of land in Mill Creek Hundred (on the west side of Red Clay Creek) from William Guest. (New Castle Deeds, L-4:341). He probably married soon thereafter. On 10 May 1711, there was surveyed for him another 170 acres above his land in William Penn's Manor on branches of the Elk River. The surviving baptism records of Holy Trinity Church start in 1713. They show that Charles Hedges or his wife twice journeyed to Christina (present Wilmington) to be a baptismal sponsor. On August 1723, Charles Hedges of Mill Creek Hundred, yeoman, acquired [17 more acres nearby]. Soon, however, his thoughts turned to moving further inland. On 25 November 1724, the Pennsylvania Board of Property included the following entry in its minutes (Pa.Arch.2d Ser, 19:724): "Edward Robertson [Robinson] requests the grant of 500 acres of Land on the Head of the further Branch of Elk River. Charles hedge desires about the like Quantity about a mile to the Northward of the Indian Town, between the Head of Elk river and Octoraro." A year later, on 29 October 1725, this plea was repeated (Id., 19:733): "Edward Robinson and Charles Hedge request the Grant of two parcells of Land on the Head of Elk River for 2 settlements for their sons." The move apparently took place, as is shown by [a] quotation dated 26 Jan. 1730/31 supplied by John Dern (source not identified). On 17 February 1730/31, Charles Hedges and his wife Elizabeth of Notingham township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, for £70 and one peppercorn if demanded, sold their three tracts in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle county, to Thomas Gray of Mill Creek Hundred. (New Castle Deeds, L-4,341) Simon Hadley and Charles Sprnger delivered the deed to Gray. On 12 October 1743, Charles Hedges of Londonderry township, Chester County, Pa., yeoman, being "very sick and weak", signed his will by his mark, a "C". No wife is named in the will, suggesting that Elizabeth had died. (Chester Co., #865) [Children and grandchildren are named in the will, but none of that detail seems to have an immediate bearing on The Joseph Project.] | Hedges, Charles Caldwell (I5203)

| 11534 | The most tempting locality on the west end of Long Island for natives of the low and level lands of Holland or Belgium, who were inexperienced in the clearing of forests, were the flats in Flatlands and Flatbush,* miniature prairies, void of trees, with a dark colored surface soil, similar to that of the prairies of the west, which had been subject to the rude culture of the natives, and which were ready without much previous toil and labor for the plow. On these flats, of which there were three, it is supposed, and almost certain, that the first agricultural settlements on Long Island were made, and their adaptation to cultivation accounts for their being first sought for and purchased. On the westernmost of them, called Kaskutenu, located in Flatlands, purchased of the Indians and patented by Gov. Van Twiller to Andries Hudden and Wolfert Gerretsen (Van Couwenhoven), on the 16th of June, 1636 (the same date as Van Curler's patent for flats), a plantation called " Achtervelt " was established, on which, prior to July 9, 1638, when an inventory was taken, they had a house set around with long round palisades, the house being 26 feet long, 22 feet wide, 40 feet deep, with the roof covered above and around with plank ; two lofts above one another, and a small chamber at their side 1 one barn, 40 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 24 feet deep ; and one bergh with five posts, 40 feet long. The plantation was stocked with six cows, old and young, three oxen and five horses. From The Bergen Family, 1875 edition, page 36-37 | Van Couwenhoven, Wolfert Gerritsen (I5817)

| 11537 | The new Ridley Public School House stands on the next lot but one, west of the old Plummer Meeting House, and opposite the properties of William W. Maddock and Miles M. Stille.* The latter is the descendant of an old Swedish family, who were among the earliest settlers in this vicinity. Olof Stille, whose passport or certificate of character bears date Dec. 2, 1634, came from the lordship of Penningby and Nyanes, in the Duchy of Lodermania, about 30 miles south of Stockholm, in Sweden ; he resided on and owned the land between Ridley and Crum Creeks. On Lindstrom's MS. Map, this tract is designated as '' Stillen's Land, le pays de Stillen,'' and Ridley Creek is called, '' Oele Stillen' s Kill”. The Indians called it Techorassi or Teguirasi. Olof Stille was one of the principal men in the Swedish Colony, having been deputed by Gov. Printz, as the bearer of the official protest made by the Swedes to the Dutch Governor, against the encroachments of the West India Company on the rights of the Swedish Crown on the Delaware. In 1658, after the Dutch took possession of the country, he was one of the four commissioners or magistrates appointed to administer justice among the inhabitants, and thus became a Judge of the first Court of which history gives us any information, held among the Europeans on the banks of the Delaware. He was also employed in various negotiations with the neighboring colonists and with the Indians, by whom he was styled, "The man with the black beard." He died about the year 1666. His son, John Stille, was born near Tinicum, in the year 1646, and died April 24, 1722, aged about 76 years, and was buried in the graveyard of the Swedes' Church at Wicacoa, where his tombstone still remains. He was one of the original trustees of that church, and the pastor, in recording his death, adds: "He lived a goodly life in this world."

| 11539 | The news of Rev. Jonathan Hedges and his wife Margaret McClung Hedges was covered in multiple newspapers across the nation, including Washington, DC, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and as far away as Honolulu, Hawaii; and undoubtedly many more. Along the way the story was sensationalized to report that Margaret died within ten minutes of hearing of her husband’s death. One version in The Sun of New York went so far as to report “His wife, age 92, ill by his side, said when she heard he was dead, “Well, I’ll go too.” She died within ten minutes.” In any case, the fact that Rev. Jonathan Hedges was a well-known circuit preacher in West Virginia and the story of the aged husband and wife dying within a few hours of each other made for a touching human interest story. | McClung, Margaret Jane (I664)

Mr. Carty always directed the affairs of the establishment with foresight and sagacity which made him one of the most successful business men in the community.

He was also a trustee of the Loats Orphan Home of Frederick and vice president of the Funeral Directors’ Association of the State of Maryland.

| 11547 | The preliminary hearing of Frank Butts, charged with the killing of J.M. Hedges, was held in Las Animas before Justice T.D. Britton. Butts was held without bail until the term of the District Court. It is probable that the defense will try to secure a continuance. In murder cases a continuance is almost always granted over one term, and Butts’ condition is mush that he will probably never be tried for he will hardly live until November.

Saturday, 6 April 1907. * * * High Water Mark for Life Timers At Pen James Selfridge No.6932, convicted of murder in the first degree in the district court of Mineral county, was received at the penitentiary Tuesday night to begin a life sentence in the prison. Soon after his arrival the sheriff from Bent county came with Frank Butts, who was given No.6935, who is to serve a life term for murder. Both prisoners are 30 years old. Their arrival increased the colony of lifetimers to sixty-five, the highest number of lifers within the walls at any time during the history of the prison.
