Paintings from Buckingham Palace: part II

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

About 3,000 objects are on loan to museums throughout the world, and many others are lent on a temporary basis to exhibitions.

did georges have any friends in america, i know he was trying to stay undercover but since he stayed with the hamiltons a bit he had philip who was in close age, and other kids in the hamilton house that georges could’ve talked to. i’m very interested in georges but I can’t seem to really find anything about his stay in america besides the letters with washington and hamilton♥️

Dear Anon,

thank you for the question. I really like to see all the interest that Georges received lately on this blog!

While it is true that Georges (born December 24, 1779) was quite close in age to Philip Hamilton (born January 22, 1782) I do not believe that were that close. I have never seen any source, letters for example, that suggested that the two were close. Georges stayed only a short time with the Hamilton’s and his and Philip’s friendship therefor would have to develop quickly. I am not an expert on the Hamilton’s, so somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Philip was during this time quite busy with his studies and he and his younger brother Alexander Hamilton jr. only spend the weekends with their family. If I am correct, Georges would have little interaction with the two oldest boys. He himself was busy continuing his studies and was overall in a dark state of mind. Georges, still almost a child, had gone through a series of life-changing events and did not seem to be in the mood to socialize or to find new friends. Even if he forged meaningful connections with the Hamilton children, they did not make him feel better. Hamilton wrote on December 24, 1795 to George Washington:

Young La Fayette appears melancholy and has grown thin. A letter lately received from his mother which speaks of something which she wishes him to mention to you (as I learn from his preceptor) has quickened his sensibility and increased his regret. If I am satisfied that the present state of things is likely to occasion a durable gloom, endangering the health & in some sort the mind of the young man (…).

When Georges came to live with his godfather George Washington, he seemed to have formed a close bond with Elizabeth “Eliza” Parke Custis Law and Eleanor “Nelly” Parke Custis Lewis. The two sisters were the children of John Parke Custis, Martha Washingtons only surviving son and George Washingtons adopted son. The relationship with Nelly appears to have been especially close.

Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis wrote on January 26, 1825, to her friend Elizabeth Bordley Gibson:

Georges has had a beautiful engraving of his father, a proof copy of the fine painting, framed for me. I shall bring it home soon – only two were sent from France, the Genl had presented one to Commodore [illegible], & this, George was resolved no one but me should have, & that no one but himself should present it. You may judge how precious it will be to me [paper torn] I know of his family, [paper torn] more attached I feel to them all. [paper torn] [illegible] love George dearly, indeed no one could see him, & listen to him, as we do here, & not love, esteem & respect him. The world are unacquainted with half his excellence & estimable qualities of heart & head – Did I tell you that I had received charming letters from his wife & sisters (…)

Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis wrote on December 25, 1838, to Elizabeth Bordley Gibson:

I am sorry, I have not received the memoirs of Lafayette. I have nor heard for a long time from my dear Brother George.

Special Collections at The George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon. Accessed June 28, 2023.

Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis, wrote on August 4, 1851 to Elizabeth Bordley Gibson:

I regret your disappointment in regard to your letter from Miss Below [?] but I have sustained a greater loss – Oscar Lafayette wrote to me immediately after the death of his father, my faithful friend & brother, giving me all the particulay of that event.

Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis to Elizabeth Bordley Gibson, 1824 October, A-569.104, Box: 3, Folder: 1824.10.00. Elizabeth Bordley Gibson collection, A-569. Special Collections at The George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon. Accessed June 28, 2023.

There are several letters from Nelly, Eliza and Georges in the special collections at the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon. Most of them are from the time of La Fayette’s American Tour of 1824/25 or from later years. But there are also two farewell letters from the time that Georges and his mentor Felix Frestel left the Washingtons. While Eleanor’s letters in particular are mostly digitalized, Georges letters are only published with short summaries or keywords. I therefor mainly focused on Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis’ descriptions of her and Georges’ relationship but all that we have suggests that Georges felt the same.

While he was not a friend Georges made in America, we should not forget Felix Frestel, the man who accompanied Georges to America. Employed as Georges’ tutor prior to the French Revolution, the young man soon surpassed himself in the fulfillment of his duties. What he did for Georges, and indeed the whole family, carried a great personal risk. Once in America, he was Georges’ father, and mother, teacher, mentor, advocate, protector and friend. Georges and his family never forgot what Frestel had done, and the two families remained very close. Georges would later refer to Frestels younger son in a letter to Monsieur Guittére dated April 12, 1832:

(…) a young friend of mine, whom I love as I would love a younger brother.

Archives départementales de Sein-et-Marne - La Fayette, une figure politique et agricole (05/16/2022).

Washington commented in a letter to La Fayette from October 8, 1797:

Mr Frestal has been a true Mentor to George. No Parent could have been more attentive to a favourite Son; and he richly merits all that can be said of his virtues—of his good sense—and of his prudence. Both your son and him carry with them the vows, and regrets of this family, and of all who know them.

I hope that helped and I hope you have/had a lovely day!

P.S.: You mentioned that you find it hard to come across information about Georges’ stay in America. A week or so ago I had an ask about some general resources concerning Georges – maybe that was you or maybe you have seen it. If not, you might find this post useful. :-)

Hello, Monsieur! I'm sorry for my much questions, but the chance asking you them is simply too overwhelming and nice!

Well, I am interested about your concerts you gave during your live time. When and where - and that all - I mean. Is there a good website with a list or similar?

Good afternoon mon petit élève, never be sorry for asking questions, I enjoy answering them!

As far as I’m aware, there’s no definitive list of my concerts, but I’ve tried to remember when and where I performed during my lifetime for you. The list only includes concerts, not events such as soirées, balls or bazaars… And nor does it include the specific concert halls for it has been too long for me to recall such small details.

Pr6 Thomas Prather III

 

Thomas Prather III was the son of Colonel Thomas Prather Pr7 of Frederick County, Maryland and his 3rd wife, Jeannette Smiley.

Born: December 2, 1770, Frederick  County, Maryland.

Died: February 3, 1823, in Louisville, Kentucky. Buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, in stone sarcaphogus.

Married: February 12, 1800, to Matilda Fontaine Fo6 in Jefferson County, Kentucky Appendix to page Pr6 Miscellaneous items concerning Thomas Prather III

Thomas Prather was one of Louisville's first merchants, having opened a store there as early as 1794. He was successful and rich was well known for his philanthropies. Prather Street was named for him and later became Broadway.

Prather was president of the first bank in Louisville, the old Bank of Kentucky, which he opened on January 1, 1812, and which did business on Main Street, near Fifth. When the bank suspended specie payments he resigned his office with the remark: "I can preside over no institution which declines to meet its engagements promptly and to the letter"

Ho gave five acres and Guthbert Bullit gave three to the city for a hospital site in 1817. The property for the hospital site was given with the proviso that it should revert to the Prather and Bullit heirs if used for any other purpose.

The Prather residence stood in Prather Square, the block bounded by 3rd and 4th, Walnut and Green; Walnut taking its name from the fine row of Walnut trees on the South side of the house. The House was built by Judge Fortunatus Cosby who married Mary Ann Fontaine, Mrs. Prather�s sister.

It was on the way home from Philadelphia where he had been on business that Prather met a young man, John J. Jacob, of Hampshire County, Virginia, starting out "to seek his fortune. He urged Jacob to come to Louisville, and afterward took him into partnership, forming the firm of Prather and Jacob.

John J. Jacob married, Ann Overton Fontaine and built a home across Walnut Street from his brother-in-law Prather� s home, where the Pendennis Club was in 1948.

(It is said that the Prather grave yard was on the south side of the square, where Macauley's Theatre was. It is also said by one of the descendants, who is not definite, that the bodies were removed from there. This seems probable. For instance, the bodies of Thomas Prather and his wife, who died in 1823 and 1850 respectively, are both buried. in Cave Hill Cemetery, which was established in 1848.) .

Thomas and Matilda Prather's daughters all married prominent Kentuckians. The Jouett portrait of Thomas Prather is owned by his great-great-granddaughter, Mrs. J. Barbour Minnegerode.

The above sketch, except for the paragraph in parentheses, is paraphrased from an old newspaper article from:, "Louisville' s First Families", one of a series of genealogical sketches. The date and name of the newspaper are not given. It is probably the one by Kathleen Jennings, who published a book called Louisville' s First Families. A copy was owned by Mrs. George Nicholas (Ni3-5).

The Prather Family. Chapter III.

 

A PUBLIC - SPIRITED citizen identified with the growth of Louisville no less than with the social life of his day was Thomas Prather, born in Maryland in 1770, of English extraction. He crossed the Wilderness Trail to seek his fortune in the new country and as one of the city's first merchants, having opened a store here as early as 1794. Success marked his every venture and riches poured in upon him. He was the capitalist of his day, and famed for his philanthropies. Broadway, for many years Prather street, was named for him. Prather was president of the first bank in Louisville, the old Bank of Kentucky, which he opened on January 1, 1812, and which did business on Main street near Fifth. When the bank suspended specie payments he resigned his office with the remark:

"I can preside over no institution which declines to meet its engagements promptly and to the letter."

   His generosity in contributing to charitable and civic endeavors won for him the title of "Oh, put me down for the balance," Prather. He gave five acres and Cuthbert Bullitt gave  three to the city for a hospital site in 1817. Interested in the general welfare, Prather and Bullitt served on many committees together. With Peter F. Ormsby they were appointed by the Board of Trustees, in 1820, to purchase suitable fire engines (two or three), for the use of the city.

   The property for the hospital site was given with the proviso that it should revert to the Prather and Bullitt heirs if used for any other purpose. When the new million dollar City Hospital was planned a change of site was considered until the deeds were looked up and disclosed this restriction. One of the numerous Prather heirs recounting the incident said "It looked for a time as if I might have fifty dollars for a new frock."

   Thomas Prather was married in 1800 to Matilda Fontaine, a daughter of Capt. Aaron Fontaine, one of the pretty Miss Fontaines, as they were called, though they were also known as the alphabet Fontaines there were so many of them. Matilda and her eight sisters were all famous for their beauty and intellectuality, and all married distinguished men. From Matilda Fontaine is supposed to come the fresh blonde prettiness of the Prather women.

   The Prather residence stood in Prather square, the block bounded by Third and Fourth, Walnut and Green, Walnut street taking its name from the fine row of walnut trees on the south side of the house. This house was built by Judge Fortunatus Cosby, who married Mrs. Prather's sister, Mary Ann Fontaine.

    It was on the way home from Philadelphia where he had been on business that Prather met a young man, John J. Jacob, of Hampshire county, Virginia, starting out to seek his fortune. He urged Jacob to come to Louisville, and afterward took the young gentleman into partnership, forming the firm of Prather & Jacob. John J. Jacob married Ann Overton Fontaine and built a home across Walnut street from his brother-in-law Prather's home, where the Pendennis Club is today.

   Thomas and Matilda Prather had six children, two sons and four daughters. James Smiley Prather married Louisa Martin and their children were: Mary (Mrs. George Robinson Hunt) and Blanche (Mrs. Edward Mitchell). Mrs. Hunt, who died not long ago, has two daughters in Louisville-Ellen Pope Hunt, the wife of George Weissinger Smith, and Kate Hunt, who married Samuel Hutchings. The other son, William Prather, married his first cousin, Penelope Pope, the daughter of Alexander Pope, whose wife was Martha Fontaine. This marriage establishes a wide connection of families socially prominent. William and Penelope Prather had seven daughters: Kate, who married Orville Winston; Sue, who is Mrs. John Zanone; Matilda, who married Goldsborough Robinson; Julia and Martha, who died young, and the twins, Penelope and Margaret, the latter, Mrs. John Luce, and her sister, better known as Miss Eppie Prather, the only descendant with the surname, Prather. Mrs. William B. Hardy and Humphrey Robinson are the children of Goldsborough and Matilda Robinson, who live here. Mrs. Alex P. Witty and Prather Zanone are the daughter and son of Mrs. Zanone. The daughters of Kate and Orville Winston were Penelope (Mrs. Ernest Allis), the mother of Mrs. William B. Harrison, and Kate (Mrs. Frederick Hussey), the mother of Mrs. Barbour Minnigerode, Mrs. Arthur H. Middleton, Mrs. Thomas Jefferson, of Springfield, Mass., and Mabel Hussey, of Paris.

   Thomas and Matilda Prather's daughters all married prominent Kentuckians. Mary Jane Prather married Worden P. Churchill, and after his death married Dr. Charles M. Way. Her sons were Worden P. Churchill and W. H. Way.

Johnston, lives with her daughter, Miss Mary Johnston, at Fourth and Broadway. Their sons, George and Samuel Smith Nicholas, have a number of descendants here. George Nicholas married Emma Hawes and had a daughter, Tina Nicholas. who married John Churchill. The son of Mr. and Mrs. John Churchill is John Churchill, who married Lucy Jones.

   By a second marriage to Mary Anna Pope, George Nicholas had ten children. One son, George Nicholas, who married Evelyn Thompson, lives in Crescent Hill, and another son, Pope Nicholas, lives in Shelbyville, but is in business in Louisville.

   Samuel Smith Nicholas, Jr., who married Nannie Carter, daughter of Capt. Frank Carter, has two daughters in Louisville this winter, Emma Nicholas and Mrs. Harry Lee Williams, although the latter's home is in Chicago.

Dr. Humphrey, who was a native of Connecticut and the son of a distinguished minister, the president of Amherst College, had as his charge a church in Jeffersonville at the time of his marriage to Miss Prather. Later he was minister of the old Second Presbyterian church, and this church granted him a leave of absence of eight months to go abroad after his wife's death. In 1847 he was married to Martha Pope, a daughter of Alexander Pope and Martha Fontaine, who was the widow of her cousin, Charles Pope. Dr. Humphrey and his wife, Martha Pope, had one son, Judge Alexander Pope Humphrey.

   Capt. Basil Prather, born in 1740 in Maryland, was an elder half-brother of  Thomas Prather. He fought through the Revolutionary war, declining any pay for his services, and later came to Louisville. He has been described as exceedingly handsome, six feet three inches tall and of cordial and engaging manners. He is numbered among the commissioners of Louisville in 1790, and owned farm land near Louisville and in other parts of the State, bequeathed to his heirs on which they settled.

   At a ball given in the fort built on the site of Jeffersonville he met Fanny Meriwether, of  the pioneer family, and shortly afterward they were married. His bride was years younger than himself. They settled on a farm in the Bluegrass district, living in opulence. Their daughter, Martha Meriwether Prather, married Dr. Warwick Miller, a son of Judge Isaac Miller, of Pennsylvania, who was an early settler.

   Capt. Prather died in 1803.

   Richard Prather, another member of the Maryland family to settle here, was one of the "City fathers," being elected a trustee of the town of Louisville in 1797. His wife was Mary Churchill, a daughter of Armistead and Elizabeth Bakewell Churchill, of Virginia, who were among the prominent pioneers of 1787. Eliza Prather, the daughter of Richard and Mary Prather, became the wife of James Guthrie, that distinguished citizen, the founder of the L. & N.

The International Day of Families is observed on 15 May every year. The Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 and reflects the importance the international community attaches to families. The International Day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.

In human society, family (from Latin: familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Ideally, families offer predictability, structure, and safety as members mature and learn to participate in the community. In most human societies, the family is the primary locus of attachment, nurturance, and socialization.

Lucy Higgs Nichols (April 10, 1838 – January 25, 1915) was an escaped enslaved and a nurse for the Union Army during the American Civil War. Known affectionately as “Aunt Lucy”, her sole photo shows her surrounded by veterans of the 23rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment, of the Army of Tennessee. She was as devoted to the soldiers as they were to her and her daughter, Mona. She lost her daughter and husband during the Civil War, and after the war ended, settled in New Albany, Indiana, where she worked as a housekeeper to several officers and married her second husband, John Nichols. She lived in New Albany with her husband (1870-1915).

The Grand Army of the Republic admitted her as their only honorary, female member, not only of Sanderson’s Post, a men’s group but of the US. She was treated as family, and loved by all the soldiers that knew her. She was granted her government pension for diligent nursing and other services with them, in 28 battles, from June 1862 through the end of the war. She marched in victory with the troops in DC on May 23, and May 24, 1865, for the Grand Review of the Armies. Although her accomplishments were buried in archives for more than 100 years, in 1898, newspaper articles, about the special act of Congress that granted her pension, spread her fame across the country. These newspapers included The Janesville Gazette, The Salem Democrat, the Atlanta Constitution, The Logansport Journal, The Denver Post, The Freeman, and The New York Times. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Chapter X: The last Barnabas, Ruth Snow, and Cameron, Missouri

This is the 12th in a series of articles which serializes my family history, which I wrote in November 2017, titled "From Samuel to Cyrus: A fresh look at the History of the Packard Family." Minor corrections. Below is the 10th chapter of that history:

The year is 1847. Barnabas Packard II had died on April 30. [216] The only Barnabas left in Plainfield was Barnabas Packard III, Barnabas and Mary’s son, who would die almost 21 years later on April 25, 1868. He would be recorded on three censuses as living in Plainfield: the 1850 and 1860 censuses, along with an agriculture schedule in 1850. [217] By 1854, there were only 854 people living in Plainfield! A small number compared to the nearby town of Cummington, which had over 1,000.

Barnabas Packard III and Ruth M. (possibly Makepeace) Snow had been married for 21 years, married on July 21, 1818 in Windsor, Massachusetts. [218] From 1818 to 1847, they had 10 children, all with the last name of Packard. The first two were Poly Nash, born on July 18, 1819 and dying on November 10, 1869, who never married, and Cynthia Cordelia who was born on November 27, 1820 and died of “dropsy” on July 25, 1863, marrying Aaron Ayres in December 1841. [219] There were 4 other children born in the 1820s: William Henry (October 1, 1822), Martha “Patty” (August 18, 1824), Irene (September 20, 1826), and Mary Jane (October 20, 1828). William Henry will be the subject of the next chapter. As for the others, Patty married Charles I. Ford on December 12, 1843 and died on November 1, 1903 at age 99, while Irene married Horatio Lynons on May 9, 1847, and Mary Jane married Zebediah H. Randall on March 8, 1852. [220] From 1831 to 1840, Barnabas and Ruth had 4 more children. They were Roswell Clifford, born February 4, 1831, who married Elnora G. Vining on February 25, 1869, Ossmus Chalmer, born July 27, 1834, who married Sophia Dean on April 1, 1863, Charles Edwin, born on March 19, 1838, who married Araminta Utter in 1867, and Harrison “Clark” Clark, born February 20, 1840 who married Melona C. Dawes on June 4, 1865. [221] Roswell would die in 1919 in Cameron, Missouri, while Ossmus would die in the same place but on January 28, 1907. Clark would die, reportedly, in Windsor in 1899, and Charles would die in Kansas City, Missouri in 1933.

Much of Barnabas and Ruth’s life can be determined from the three censuses cited on the previous page. The 1850 census shows Barnabas Packard III (age 54) as the head of the household, with the value of the land being $1,500, and his occupation as a farmer. The same is the case with 19-year-old Roswell and 15-year-old Ossmus, likely working on the same farm as their father, Barnabas III, within Plainfield, Massachusetts. [222] The same page shows that Ossmus, Charles (age 12), and Harrison (age 10) are attending school. Interestingly, it classifies Polly N. as over 31 years of age, who cannot read or write, as “idiotic.” Ruth, Barnabas’s wife, age 50, and their daughter Mary J., age 21, do not have occupations listed, so they presumed to be “housewives.”

Before moving on, it is worth focusing on Polly N. While you could say her designation is an error, it is clearly not, based on other censuses. [223] The questions answered affirmatively for her were:

Is the person “deaf, dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, pauper, or convict?” (answer: “idiotic”)

“If this person was over 20 years of age, could they not read and write?”

Census enumerators defined an “idiot” as a person whose “mental faculties” were limited “in infancy or childhood” before they matured, referring to, a wide range of “known disabilities,” by today’s standards. [224] Hence, it could be logical that she could not read or write.

The next document worth reviewing is the 1850 agriculture schedule of Plainfield. This document shows that Barnabas Packard III owns 230 acres of land in the township, 160 of which are improved, and 70 of which are not. [225] It also says his farm is worth $1,500 and tools (and equipment) worth $200. Adding to this, he is listed as owning 2 horses, 3 milk cows, 16 other cattle, and 1 swine which is worth $400. He also possesses 30 bushels of Indian corn and 30 bushels of oats, among other grains. Living in the same community is Ariel L. Ayres, who may be related to Aaron Ayres, who Barnabas and Ruth’s daughter, Cythnia, married nine years earlier in 1841.

Finally, there is the 1860 census of Plainfield. This document again lists 65-year-old Barnabas as a farmer, but his farm is now listed as worth $3,000 and personal estate as worth $2,500. [226] Ruth, his wife, age 64, had no occupation, while Polly N. was again called “idiotic” and was age 41. Hence, this was part of her identity, dying on November 10, 1868 at age 49, 3 months, 3 days, from bleeding in the stomach. [227] Barnabas was a “farmer who settled in West Plainfield, clearing his land for planting, while maintaining a grove of maple sugar trees, with produce taken to Boston for sale” as one history said. As noted earlier, he was the first to own the West Hill Farm, later owned by Cyrus and Tom. However, taking a trip to Boston to sell produce seems a bit excessive since it is over 100 miles away. Perhaps he sold his produce at a closer market.

Thanks to a retired programmer interested in genealogy, named Jack Vander-Schrier, we have photographs of Barnabas III and Charles Edwin:

While we do not know about each picture, it seems evident that the photograph on the left was taken in his older years, perhaps not long before his death. By the last seven years of Barnabas III’s life, many of his children had moved out of the area. Reportedly, Charles Edwin spent time in Ohio as a mathematics teacher before moving to Cameron, Missouri while his brother, Ossmus lived in Mendota, Illinois before moving to Cameron in 1865. The family lore goes that Roswell moved to Cameron in 1866 (and reportedly moved to Ft. Smith, Arkansas in 1895) and that Patty (and her husband Charles Ira Ford) moved from Nauseous, Ohio to Cameron the same year. [228] Hence, Polly N., William Henry, Cynthia Cordelia, Harrison, Mary Jane, and Irene did not move there. On a trip to Cameron in 1868, with his wife, Ruth, Barnabas became ill and died. Ruth would live with her son Charles Edwin until she died on January 1, 1879, and both would be buried in the Packard Cemetery in Cameron, Missouri.

One photograph tells more of that story than anything else. The photograph is courtesy of Find A Grave user Jack Vander-Schrier yet again:

The photograph shown on the last page, shows what the “Barnabas Packard family,” as Vander-Schrier puts it, around 1875, living in Cameron, Missouri. It has been numbered as to help future genealogists determine who the individuals are in this picture. Based on the photograph of Charles Edwin on page 70, it is clear that number 8 is him. He was a cashier at the Farmers Bank in Cameron, Missouri, and later a banker, reportedly. The rest of those in the photograph are unknowns. However, numbers 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, seem like couples based on the way they are standing. One of these couples is Roswell Clifford and Ellanora (1842-1895), while another is Patty and Charles Ford (1822-1914) (also a banker), and the last is Ossmus and Sophia H. Dean. [229] Possibly Araminta Aminta Utter is number 16, although this cannot be confirmed. Somewhere in numbers 9-14, 17-21 are Araminta and Charles’s child Clark, but not Eva since she was born in 1876, unlike Clark who was born in 1873. The same goes for Ossmus and Sophia’s child, Herbert Melvin (1867-1935).

All of these children have the last name of Packard. Basing it on the photo, earlier in this chapter, number 7 is Ruth Snow. Number 16 may be the wife of the person occupying that house. Other women, such as Herbert’s wife, Mary Francis, are likely in the photograph as well. The same is undoubtedly the case for Roswell and Ellanora’s children: Emma E (b. 1870), George C (b. 1873), Leonard C (b. 1875), Etta B (b. 1877), E Edwin (b. 1880), and Jennie S (b. 1882), the first three of which were likely in the photo. It is also the case for Patty and Charles’s children named Pearl, Arthur, Sarah Jane (1844-1898), Henry Edsel (1847-1902), and Cora Ann (1855-1918) who married George Thomas Howser (1855-1936). If you add up all of the people noted in this paragraph, it adds up to 21. Solving the mystery of who is who in this old photograph would require identifying all these individuals rather than using educated guesses. Still, it adds more to the Packard family story. [230]

The night Tom Thumb came to town

By Jonathan Monfiletto

The Yates County History Center is fortunate to have an extensive collection of digitized photographs along with a thorough index of this collection to quickly and easily locate photos depicting all kinds of history. It is just as quick and easy to get lost in a magical experience of virtual time traveling through this collection.

Boy, did I go down some rabbit holes recently. We tend to turn to this collection for our social media posts since the photos are already scanned and digitized. I accessed the collection looking for a couple of specific items I wanted to use for posts, but as I browsed through the index and then scrolled through the photos, I caught myself finding even more things I wanted to share in posts.

And that is how I discovered General Tom Thumb and his company made at least one appearance in Penn Yan, on April 20, 1864. I found two photos of General Tom Thumb – one of him with his wife, Lavinia Warren, and another of him with his company, which included Commodore Nutt and Minnie Warren along with Lavinia Warren. I assume those photos are from that appearance.

Using our collection of digitized newspapers, I found an advertisement in the April 7, 1864 edition of the Yates County Chronicle that promoted a performance by General Tom Thumb and his company – “the four smallest human beings, of mature age, ever known on the face of the globe,” according to the advertisement – on Wednesday, April 20, 1864 at Washington Hall in Penn Yan.

According to the advertisement, there would be two performances – from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and from 7:30 to 9 p.m. – with doors opening a half hour in advance each time. Admission cost 25 cents, with children under 10 years of age charged 15 cents.

According to ConnecticutHistory.org, General Tom Thumb was born Charles Sherwood Stratton on January 4, 1838 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Seven months after his birth, Charles’ growth slowed dramatically and he reached only 3 feet in height during his lifetime. His diminutive stature helped make him famous around the world.

P.T. Barnum discovered and hired Stratton at age 4 for Barnum’s American Museum in New York City, and the boy performed various comedy and musical routines. Seeking greater publicity, Barnum changed the boy’s name and added years to his age, promoting 11-year-old General Tom Thumb as an entertainer from Europe. Tom Thumb soon began touring the United States as the smallest man alive.

On February 10, 1863, 25-year-old Stratton married Lavinia Warren, a fellow Barnum performer. Following their honeymoon in Washington, D.C. – where they received an invitation from U.S. President Abraham Lincoln – the Strattons embarked on a three-year tour performing in more than 580 cities around the world. It was likely during this tour that General Tom Thumb came to Penn Yan.

The Chronicle advertisement describes the company this way: “Here are a Married Couple, a Bachelor and Belle, all four weighing but 100 lbs., perfect in form and features. The world never saw anything half so wonderful! No larger than so many babies!”

The Lost Museum Archive, a virtual recreation of Barnum’s American Museum, notes exhibitions of people with disabilities or abnormalities would be considered offensive and inappropriate in today’s culture, but such presentations “were not uncommon in mid and late nineteenth-century popular culture.” Barnum “reaped enormous profits” by exhibiting and presenting these human curiosities such as Tom Thumb, whom he taught to sing, dance, and imitate famous people and who both performed at the American Museum and toured the world as one of the best-known midgets.

In Penn Yan, according to the advertisement, Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren would open their act wearing the wedding costumes they wore on the day they got married, a little more than a year before at that point. The copy goes on to describe the various characters and acts each of the four performers would present: “They will appear in a great variety of fascinating performances and costumes.”

Adding to their performances, the four performers would ride through the streets of Penn Yan, according to the advertisement, in “a magnificent miniature coach … no larger than a ‘bushel basket,’ drawn by four of the smallest ponies in the world and attended by elfin coachman and footman in livery” and would ride to and from the hall and their hotel in this coach. Also, “the rich, rare and costly wedding presents, also the magnificent jewels presented … by the crowned heads of Europe” would be exhibited at each performance.

According to ConnecticutHistory.org, Tom Thumb performed with his wife and remained popular until his death on July 15, 1883 at age 45. Lavinia lived for another 36 years and died in 1919. The couple is buried together in Mountain Grove Cemetery in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Sato Hikogoro

Hikogoro Sato The eleventh and last wholesaler of the Sato family, who has managed the Hino Hongo Michigoku centering on the post station of Hino called "Tama no Yonezo" for generations. Hino-juku also managed the transfer of Hino on the Tama River. * In Hino-juku, it was called "Toiyaba" instead of "Honjin", and it was called the wholesaler role because the head of the Honjin was both the head and the wholesaler. He is also a person who consulted with the Shinsengumi who just went to Kyoto and provided financial support. He has a strong sense of selfishness and is a person who values ​​righteousness and is respected by people. 　　　　　　　● September 25, 1827 Born in Hino-juku, Tama-gun , Musashi-kuni (currently Hino-honmachi, Hino-shi, Tokyo) as the eldest son of his father Hanjiro and his mother Masa. Childhood nickname Kota. In the 8th year of Tenpo (1838), his father died suddenly, and at the age of 11, Hikogoro succeeded the owner of Hino Hongo and the owner of Hino Yado wholesaler, Hino Union Village, and will manage Hino Hongo Sansengoku. In 1845, he married Nobu Ishidamura (sister of Toshizo Hijikata). January 18, 1849 A fire broke out at a farm across the road from the Sato family. Over a dozen houses, including the Sato family, were burned down by the north wind. In addition, a street demon incident occurred in which two people, including Hikogoro's grandmother, were killed. Around this time, due to the turmoil of Perry's arrival and the trend of jōi Security was disturbed due to the increase in burglaries. Hikogoro strongly feels the need to maintain the security of the village.

In the third year of Kaenaga (1849), he asked Matsugoro Inoue, who is concentric with Sennin Hachioji, to introduce him, and became a student of Shusuke Kondo (the adoptive father of Isamu Kondo), the third generation of the natural rationale. We will set up a dojo for training in a corner of our house. In the first year of Ansei (1854), he worked hard on martial arts and became a natural rationale. It seems that the number of people who have influx of natural reasoning has increased rapidly by remodeling the Nagaya Gate to make it a kendo hall. Several times a month? Isamu Kondo and others from Edo Seieikan came to practice and taught. Also, when the Shogunate builds a battery for defense off the coast of Shinagawa (currently Odaiba), it makes a donation. * Shusuke Kondo is also donating. September 20, 1855 We will exchange a cup of brother-in-law with Kojima Shikanosuke, the owner of the Onoji Village Association in Machida, and Isami Kondo. August 1858 Shusuke Kondo of Hino-juku dedicates a donation to Yasaka Shrine. August, 1861 (1861) Isamu Kondo, the 4th generation of the Natural Rishinryu Souya, shows off his name at Daikokutama Shrine. Hikogoro served as the white general in the red and white battle. In 1862, cholera spread and many people died. The Buddha coffins lined up on the highway. Hikogoro invested his private fortune to administer drugs and received white silver from the shogunate. Bunkyu 3rd year (1863) The members of the escort hall will participate in the recruitment of the Shogun Roshigumi. Hikogoro also wanted to participate, but since he has a job as a master, I will entrust it to his brother-in-law, Toshizo Hijikata. I took over the Shinbun rolls of the natural Rishin style, practiced in various parts of the Tama area on behalf of the sect, and took care of the students. * Kondo and his colleagues were in a situation where they couldn't get a salary because they started from NEET when they were just starting out. Hikogoro provides financial support and consults. There were frequent exchanges of New Year's cards and letters between Kondo, Hijikata, Okita and others, and Hikogoro and Kojima . One of the letters Hijikata sent to his relatives in Uedamura said, "Ask Hikogoro-san for details." Also, even after becoming a Shinsengumi, when I heard various rumors, I was worried that "No matter how strong you are, if the end soldiers lose their rumors, the impression of the Shinsengumi will get worse." I am sending a letter. July 19, 1864 (Kinmon Incident) Rumors arrived in about a week, and there was a false alarm that Kondo died in the war. Hikogoro confirms Kondo's safety by inquiring about the Aizu clan's residence in Edo and hearing from the Aizu clan who returned from Kyoto, and tells Kojima. Farmers were collected in the Tama region, and the Hino Farmers' Corps was organized around the Hino Inn Association. June 1866 The Tama River and Asa River are also affected by poor crops due to unseasonable weather and floods caused by heavy rain. It will often stop the river (cannot cross the river), and prices will rise. Although the relief campaigns for the poor were collected and relief rice was issued, a peasant riot occurred in Takeshu Ano and Naguri. (Ikki Takeshu) Involving the farmers of the villages, the number of people swelled to several thousand at one time , and the place where Iino and Tokorozawa and the wealthy merchants and farmers were destroyed and tried to rush to Komimura (currently Komiyacho, Hachioji City) was concentric with Hachioji and farming. Soldiers are dispatched. Repulsed on the opposite bank of the Tama River, Hino-juku and Hachioji-juku escaped the difficulty of being beaten. The eldest son, Gennosuke, also participated in the suppression with gun art and shooting swords. * Hijikata, who returned to Edo to recruit soldiers, admired Gennosuke's gun maneuvering and asked him to come to Kyoto and become a professor of the Shinsengumi. Hikogoro wanted to go, but he gave up because of the great opposition from Nobu. March 1867 Twelve Satsushu Ronin threaten villages in the name of raising military funds. At the order of the deputy officer to get rid of him, Hikogoro took six farmers to the Hachioji pot Iseya where they were staying. Defeat several opponents with short guns and capture the rest. * When Kondo heard this story later, he was surprised, "It's too dangerous to interact with a gun! I haven't done it yet." January 1868 (1868) Battle of Toba Fushimi The new group will return to Edo according to the general. March Koyo Relief Corps organization Hikogoro arranges troops. Called Kasugamori, we will organize and participate in a farmer's corps (Kasuga corps). Lost in the battle of Katsunuma. * In response to the opinion that the bridge should be burned to block the enemy army at Saruhashi, Hikogoro said, "The bridge is important to the locals. Especially once this difficult construction Saruhashi is burned, the locals is it but the trouble no matter how. the burn the bridge is opposed to absolute, " and, seems to have put a stop. 2000 new government troops will come to Hachioji and scrutinize passers-by with Yanaseya in Yokoyama-cho as the headquarters of the chief of staff, Itagaki Retirement. Since he was close to the Shinsengumi executives and sent Kasuga Corps to the army, he was searched for "Hino's Hikogoro must be found even if the grass is rooted", and the Hikogoro family escapes to scatter without time to make an agreement. Hikogoro went to Daizoin in Komiyamura Kitahei with his youngest daughter Asa and his youngest daughter. I thought it was a relief to be hidden by the nun, but the soldiers came and escaped with a short hair. It was already about midnight when I arrived at Mr. Shigehira's house in Nimiyamura, Nishitama-gun, and then at the Hanyu family in Okunomura. On the other hand, his eldest son, Gennosuke, was so ill that he was so weak that he grabbed the room and walked. Carried by his younger son, Tetsuzo, he escapes with his neighbors, Hyozo and Inoue Locknosuke, but is caught and asked at the Hachioji headquarters. He really doesn't know where his father is and can't answer no matter how many questions he asks. Itagaki came and said, "It's strange that a child doesn't know where his father is, but as a child, even if he knows it, it's filial piety that he doesn't confess." And release everyone. Hikogoro's mansion was searched first, and 19 guns were picked up, looking for the attic and underfloor. Kondo appointed Okubo Ichi and Hijikata appointed Katsumi Fune, and it seems that the Hikogoro family had reached the point where they couldn't make a difference from the main office, Saigo. July 1869 Hijikata's small surname, Tetsunosuke Ichimura, comes to Hikogoro's house and hands over Hijikata's relics. http: //senjouno-kizuna.so-netsns.jp/? M = pc & a = page_fh_diary ... In 1872 , the name was changed to Toshimasa when the family register was created. We will carry out the Tama River embankment work. In 1873, he became the mayor of the 9th Great Ward of Kanagawa Prefecture (63 villages of Nijuku in the Minamitama district). We will do our best to attract schools. January 17, 1874 His wife, Nobu, died at the age of 47. The Meiji government will issue a decree not to blame the spirits of the war dead who became enemies in the morning. Hikogoro plans to build a memorial monument with Kojima et al. In 1878, Tama-gun was divided into north, south, east and west according to the county-ward, town-village organization law, and became the first mayor of Minami-Tama, Kanagawa Prefecture. In 1881, Rentaro, the third son, died at the age of 22. Hikogoro resigned from the first mayor of Minamitama and supports the free civil rights movement that was becoming an officer. In 1888, the monument to Yuyuki Marubushi is completed at Takahatayama Kongoji Temple. He died on September 17, 1902, at the age of 76. Bodaiji is Daisho-ji. 　　　　　　　● Hikogoro has a hobby of haiku and had the title of Kasuga-an Shengsha. It seems that he had a close friendship with Hijikata's eldest brother, Tamijiro Hijikata (Kazantei Ishisui), who had a common hobby of haiku.

Antoni Caba (1838- 25 January 1907) detail

So around what time and why did the Ann(e)s stop having sex? Cuz I heard they stopped during their last years together?

Hey, I’ve not read much of Anne’s diary after 1837 so I can’t really answer you because I know just bits and pieces from 1837 onwards and I can’t really go into details. I can’t say for sure that they never had sex after a certain date and I don’t know if a specific reason is explicitly stated for it at one point in Anne’s diary (I did not come across it, yet).

From what I’ve read it seems that after their union and after Ann moved to Shibden, Anne focused her energy more on the estate and on the business than her love life. All I can add is that from 1835 onwards Ann Walker’s health was bad most of the time. There are a lot of entries where Anne Lister writes how poorly Ann Walker is, that she’s not feeling well etc. etc. I think this was one of the reasons why they had sex less frequently.

I���m just gonna quote some passages from Anne’s journal that I find interesting and maybe can help understand what their sex life was like after a certain period and why they did not have as much sex as before:

Sunday, 27 September 1835 > Attempt at a kiss last night. A-’s manner leading to it but she called out in the middle of it that she was too weak and I stopped immediately. [SH:7/ML/E/18/0104]

Sunday 8, November 1835 > No kiss. Tho A- rather on the amoroso last night but she had put on a napkin having a little of her cousin and I said kissing would be bad for her. [SH:7/ML/E/18/0126]

Tuesday 19, January 1836 > A tolerable kiss last night. Poor A– not disinclined meaning to be affectionate & we are all right. [SH:7/ML/E/18/0163]

Monday 25, April 1836 > No kiss. Tried to fondle her last night but she said she was sickish so gave over & went to sleep. [SH:7/ML/E/19/0032]

Wednesday 4, May 1836 > No kiss. A– very low. Had been crying for an hour before nine – then lay talking – she thought she could not make me happy, wrong to give me so much anxiety & make me unhappy & give so much trouble etc. etc. thought she ought to leave me – Oh Oh – thought I, but I took it very quietly & talked & reasoned with her gently & kindly but still shewing that if she really wished to leave me she would not find it difficult. She had got wrong in my absence, however she came right before we got up & owned the talk had done her good. [SH:7/ML/E/19/0038]

Thursday 2, June 1836 > No kiss. A- very low I heard her crying but took no notice. Did not seem to awake till eight. Thought I – we must be off. Kept her in bed talking gently.

Tuesday 7, June 1836 > No kiss, but a very attempt at play last night & grubbling this morning – she owing it was not that she disliked it or that she did not like me but she thought it wrong. I did not say much but we should both be better & I could bring monsieur again it will end in our getting together again? [SH:7/ML/E/19/0055]

Tuesday 14, June 1836 > No kiss. Thought we should have had one last night. Got her to come to me but then she said it was too hot & begged off & thanked me for giving up! [SH:7/ML/E/19/0059]

She was very irritable before, she says, & has said several times. Says she will have no more mysteries & seems intending to be good tempered & as she ought to be. Tho she says nothing, I think she is sensible of my having always kept my temper. [SH:7/ML/E/20/0039]

There are more passages like these in 1837 (having sex, not having sex because Ann wasn’t feeling well, etc.).

I’m pretty sure they didn’t have sex in 1840. I quickly skimmed through the whole year and I did not encounter the “Q” symbol on the margins, the symbol Anne used when recording a sexual encounter. Honestly I don’t know when was the last time they had sex, I should check 1838 & 1839 but it’s a lot of work and I don’t have time right now (this ask has been in my inbox for too long already).

As usual, if someone knows more or wants to elaborate on the matter, please reply/reblog!

Anyway, I’m gonna close with this because it makes me laugh lol:

Friday 14, April 1837 > Meant to have slept with her last night. Had a goodish kiss – she inclined – & was dropping asleep when she snored, so I could not sleep. Got up & went to my own bed at twelve & a half & was just comfortable when I thought I heard her at my door. Jumped up & asked who was there – no answer – stood with my father’s pistols in my hand till I was cold, then thought A- would be frightened if she awoke & found me gone so crept back to her but no sleep. She snored so at three therefore went back to the kitchen chamber & slept without awaking till eight. [SH:7/ML/E/20/0046]

EDIT: A kind anon sent me an ask with an extract from May 1838 transcribed by one of the Anne Lister Code Breakers on twitter. It looks like the Ann(e)s were still having sex during that time:

Friday 4, May 1838 > Good kiss last night.(…) pint of madeira for Ann and bottle of Claret for myself of which we respectively drank ½ and both Slept till 10 soon after when we went upstairs to bed – ate oranges – and dawdled over getting into bed – and had a pretty good kiss and then fell asleep.
