General Green Clay was long a member of one or the other branch of the Kentucky legislature, and at one time speaker of the senate. In 1813, when General William Henry Harrison was besieged by the British in Fort Meigs, he came to his relief in May with 3,000 volunteers and forced the enemy to withdraw. He was left in command at the fort, and defended it with great skill against an attack of the British and Indians under General Proctor and Tecumseh. | |

 | Markers for Clay family
Hello David,
Are you related to any of the Clay's. I went out to take the photos today. Unfortunatley, there are no markers for Mary E. Clay, or Hattie Clay. There are in the same lot of Johnnie Clay, who does have a marker. There is also a marker Nannie Clay Steel within the lot. I confirmed with the cemetery personel that Mary and Hattie should be within the boundary that is shown in the photo I'll add to the memorials. The front of the lot indicates CE Clay.
Sorry the markers weren't there. But is there anything else I can help you with from here? Newspaper articles or anything like that?

| Miles Hart
Thanks for getting back to me. I have a tiny bit of information about Miles Hart that you might be interested in. He was a resident of Clarksville in 1780-1781. Clarksville was a civilian community adjacent to Fort Jefferson downstream from the Falls of the Ohio River. Miles was a member of Capt. George Owens Company of Militia. There is only one note from the fort about Miles, on June 5, 1781 he was issued 12 pounds of sugar. The fort was being abandoned and all the public stores were being distributed to anyone still at the fort. So
Miles ended up with 12 pounds of sugar which would otherwise have gone to waste. On June 8, 1781 there was no one left at the fort. Your MIles Hart and my Reuben Kemp were some of the last people to leave. Reuben Kemp helped build the boats that evacuated the last people. He and MIles may have known each other. My e-mail is eskew54@netzero.com
I'd love to see what you have on Miles Hart. Best wishes, Dan KempAdded by Dan Kemp on May 19, 2013 10:01 AM | | | Dan Kemp

Hi David, I'm very curious about your Miles Hart posting. At the end of the bio you mentioned Carl Sandburg. Did Sandburg write something about the Miles Hart Story? I looked and looked but couldn't find anything. Miles served with my Great (4) Grandfather Reuben Kemp in the Revolutionary War and I've always thought his story was fascinating. Looking forward to hearing from you, Dan KempAdded by Dan Kemp on May 18, 2013 8:20 PM | | | Gordon Hunter
| WASHINGTON FETTERMAN
I found an obit that has possibilities…
Pittsburgh Mercury - December 19, 1838, Page 3
DIED - On Wednesday last, the 12th inst., at Philadelphia, W. W. Fetterman, Esq., late of this city, in the 37th year of his age.
He died quite young, are you sure they were divorced? Maybe she was widowed. In checking the divorce index, there's no listing for their divorce in Allegheny County. | | | Frank Rinesmith

Uploaded pic of subj. I wasn't too pleased. The relief of the letters/numbers isn't very high, making it hard to interpret. I took several shots in both sunlight and when cloudy, with the sunlight pic being the best. Happy hunting. | | | Bob Law

David: I found the cemetery today it is beside a home and most of it is like their garden with stone paths. I did not find the stone you requested. Since all of the other stones had been taken earlier I would guess they did not locate the stone at that time either. Sorry.

| RE: Upton Memorial
Your welcome, David. If you are a decendent of the Uptons, you might be interested to know that there is a children's book at our library (North Reading) called "Papa's Red Britches" that is written by a local woman by the name of Nelda Rouillard. It tells the store of John and Eleanor Upton encountering indians while riding in the woods and John trading his red britches for land in what is now North Reading. (I have no idea how much truth there is to this.) You might google it and see what you can find out. Good luck with your Upton research.Added by Karen on Apr 29, 2013 5:08 PM | | | JK Wright

You're very welcome. I may happy to do that for you and others.

| RE: John Uptons
Yes, it does. The border is similar to many of the mid-1700 tombstones. I think it's likely the John Uptons who died in 1699 and 1719 are some of the unreadable stones. Would you like me to post for the 1753 John Bancroft?Added by Karen on Apr 28, 2013 10:06 AM | | | | [View all messages...] |
