New results Sometimes we work diligently to research a subject and we readily accept what we find - as fact, because we can prove our find with a Cite. But then we read how we used these facts, and we suspect that something was wrong. I knew the birthdates of the people mentioned above, but I didn't use them. WRONG! Then I could not accept that this man married a wife 30 years his senior, especially when I know it is often the opposite. Back to the books. I need to reapprove the story. Dr. Stuart had a daughter Caroline Calvert Stuart born 1844. He also had a daughter Rosalie E. Stuart that married Sholto (or Sholito) T. Stuart and they had a daughter Caroline Calvert Stuart ("Carrie") born 1873 in King George. She was the one who married Alonzo B. Davis. (Born 1871, Wilmington, Del.) All that I said in "The Oddity" was correct except - it was Dr. Stuart's Granddaughter that married Alonzo. I am embarrassed, mea maxima culpa. |

Actually, Cleydael was their summer chateau, but you are correct. And, it was James O. Hall who made the connection after visiting Riversdale, the Calvert home here in Prince George's County. A small painting of the Cleydael in Belgium was hanging on the wall in the library there, and close inspection identified it. Of course, "our" Cleydael was also a summer residence. Dr. Stuart's family had a much more palatial manor house on the banks of the Potomac, but it was subject to "miasmas" during the summer; so, the family retreated inland a few miles. During the Civil War, those pesky Yankees were also known to take practice shots from their ships as the homes that lay along the rivers in the South. The Stuart home survived and is still lived in today. A nearby home, however, called Barnesfield was destroyed by Yankee firings. Similar target practice went on along the Rappahannock, and that is why some of the townsfolk of Port Royal had their good items stored in farmers' barns inland -- such as the Garrett tobacco barn. John, please correct me if my history is rusty. |

Laurie, I'm the rustiest of us all. Your words look good to me. MIASMAS- That's the school teacher in you. Does it include Milaria? I would use "at" near the end of PARA. 2 LINE .2, instead of "as". "Barnesfield" was located just upstream from the 301 Bridge, but that's NEARBY. It is now a picnic area and playground. The Union burned it because the 9th VA. Cav. was housed in the Chapel on the property and they kept shooting at he boats passing by. Lt. R.L.T. Beale in command, Later General Beale. (R.L.T. was Richard Langhorn Turberville) Buried in Montross, VA. Now you can have a crack at my history, penmanship, spelling etc. |

John - I'll let you score one for my typo of "as" instead of "at," and "miasmas" was a very Victorian term that referred to what our ancestors considered bad fogs in the atmosphere that spawned dangerous diseases. And, yes, malaria (note correct spelling) was among those dreaded diseases. I think our score is even now with my typo and your spelling error evening both of us out and miasma having us thinking alike. |

That in 1869, JWB's body was "parked" by the Baltimore undertakers in the very (former) stable once rented and used by JWB.

RE: Oddities of the Lincoln assassination
In the book Memorial Record of the Nation's Tribute to Abraham Lincoln by Benjamin Franklin Morris it says, "Miss Harris also recalls that a pocket knife, with one blade open, lay on the balustrade of the box when she and the other three members of the Presidential party entered it."
Just curious - has anyone ever heard of this? I have not seen it in any other source (as I recall). http://books.google.com/books?id=sr9cAAA...22&f=false |

I've read that somewhere Roger, but I don't remember where. I'm thinking that it was mistakenly left behind by someone decorating the box.

I definitely remember Harry Ford, in one of his statements or interviews, saying he recalled later having left it there after cutting the cord used to secure the decorations on the front of the box (sorry, but it's too difficult now to dig out that specific factoid--but I really do remember it clearly, scout's honor). |
