In the knowledge that we are all mortal, I hereby request that upon my death, all of my managed profiles of deceased persons including my own profile should be set to full open status. (Please add my year of death.) I would welcome any descendant or cousin to then become profile manager and continue this labor of love which I started so many decades ago.
Wikitree Guidelines For Notables
Project: Notables Wikipedia: Having a Wikipedia entry automatically qualifies somebody as being Notable, although lacking a Wikipedia entry does not automatically mean that they are not notable, as they may still be listed in some other resource. In particular, Wikimedia Commons is a good source for public domain photos of notables.
If the person has a Wikipedia entry: Add "See also:" under the Sources section, and then add "* Wikipedia:
From G2G
What is a Notable?
Notables are considered to have a public profile - in other words, what they do or did to achieve fame is reasonably known to a larger audience and within the public knowledge. Wikipedia utilizes these guidelines for determining whether or not someone should be considered for a page on their site, and is the same standard that we use at WikiTree to determine if someone meets the criteria for notability.
I've often been asked why Wikipedia? The reasoning is that they have an established standard and an established process for determining whether or not a profile would meet certain standards, and it's intended to be a objective measurement to determine if they do or do not meet the established criteria.

Amherst County was created in 1761 out of Albemarle County.
Nelson County was created in 1807 from Amherst County. At the time the English began settling Virginia in the 1600s, the inhabitants of what is now Nelson County were a Siouan-speaking tribe called the Nahyssan. They were probably connected to the Manahoac.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_County,_Virginia
Appomattox County was formed in 1845 from Buckingham, Prince Edward, Campbell and Charlotte counties. In 1848, another part from Campbell County was added to Appomattox County.
Appomattox County was named for the Appomattox River, which in turn was named for the Appamatuck, a historic Native American tribe in Virginia.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appomattox_County,_Virginia*2022-05-01 Amherst Appomattox Buckingham Campbell Nelson Counties - James River.jpg

FIX THIS - Richard is the second cousin 6 times removed of Agnes Weatherford, wife of John “Cherokee” Vann.
John “Cherokee” Vann is the brother of Wah-li Cherokee.
Wah-li Cherokee is the mother of Cherokee Chief James Vann II.
Thus, Agnes Weatherford is the aunt by marriage of Cherokee Chief James Vann II.
Cherokee Chief James Vann II, became the richest man in the Cherokee Nation, and possibly in the entire eastern U.S. at the time. As a result of his favorable negotiations for access and land when the US government built the Federal Road, Cherokee Chief James Vann II built his Diamond Hill mansion, a two-story house constructed of brick in 1804, with access to the road, near present-day Chatsworth, Georgia. He also had a store and other facilities there. He donated land for the mission school of the Moravian Brethren, which he had encouraged the Cherokee National Council to permit. Cherokee Chief James Vann II's father had earlier run a trading post on that site.

When you get your DNA results, be sure to register with GEDmatch [I don't remember how to do that]. Ancestry creates a THUR LINES [under DNA] which is at times very inaccurate. GEDmatch doesn't lie; however, when you compare matches [thru Wikitree], do a comparison for all matches. GEDmatch only goes back 5 generations; therefore, some of the available comparisons may be too weak to show up and some will show a match.

The Town of Madison Heights
"The twentieth century also saw the strengthening of local administration in the form of town governments. Antebellum acts of incorporation had vested authority in town trustees, but the old system was not sufficient for the more complex demands of the twentieth century and subsequently the county's larger communities sought mayoral government. The first was Madison Heights in 1904, which was empowered to elect a mayor and six councilmen." page 45.

Henry de Bohun was one of the twenty-five medieval barons who were surety for Magna Carta in 1215. Henry died in June 1220 while on crusade to the Holy Land.
He was the son and heir of Humphrey III de Bohun (pre-1144-1181) of Trowbridge Castle in Wiltshire and of Caldicot Castle in south-east Wales, 5th feudal baron of Trowbridge,[1] who served King Henry II as Lord High Constable of England. His mother was Margaret of Huntingdon, widow of Conan IV, Duke of Brittany (d.1171) and a daughter of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Northumberland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, son of King David I of Scotland by his wife Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon. Henry's half-sister was Constance, Duchess of Brittany.
His paternal grandmother was Margaret of Hereford, a daughter of Miles FitzWalter of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford, Lord of Brecknock (died 1143), Sheriff of Gloucester and Constable of England. After the male line of Miles of Gloucester failed, in 1199 King John created Henry de Bohun Earl of Hereford and Constable of England.

Sir Henry (Bohun) de Bohun (abt. 1277 - 1314) [Bohun-174]. Died 23 Jun 1314 in Battle of Bannockburn.
Sir Henry de Bohun (died 23 June 1314) was an English knight, the grandson of Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford. He was killed on the first day of the Battle of Bannockburn by Robert the Bruce (the King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329).
Riding in the vanguard of heavy cavalry, de Bohun caught sight of the Scottish king who was mounted on a small palfrey (horse) armed only with a battle-axe. De Bohun lowered his lance and charged, but Bruce stood his ground. At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that he split his helmet and head in two. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe.
Battle of Bannockburn The Battle of Bannockburn (Scottish Gaelic) on 23 and 24 June 1314 was a victory of the army of King of Scots Robert the Bruce over the army of King Edward II of England in the First War of Scottish Independence.
The victory against the English at Bannockburn is the most celebrated in Scottish history, and for centuries the battle has been commemorated in verse and art.

The stories were based on the community of Schuyler where Hamner grew-up. Hamner’s 1968 TV film Heidi and the NFL collided to make notable broadcasting history. The 1968 TV film version of Heidi debuted on November 17, 1968 at 7:00 pm Eastern on NBC. On the east coast, NBC pulled away from the final minutes of the American Football League (AFL) game between the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders. Thus, east coast viewers missed the frantic late comeback by the Raiders to win the game. Oakland scored two touchdowns within the final minute, winning the game 43–32 in a major upset. Of course, this caused controversy and viewer complaints. On the other hand, Hamner’s 1968 TV film Heidi was the highest viewed television program of the week.

Hyman Rickover Fired - The Indignity of Forced Retirement
United States Navy Admiral Hyman George Rickover .
Hyman Rickover-1
Secretary of the US Navy John Lehman stated in his book, Command of the Seas:
"One of my first orders of business as Secretary of the Navy would be to solve ... the Rickover problem." Secretary Lehman eventually attained enough political clout to enforce his decision to retire Rickover.
"On January 31, 1982, four days after his 82nd birthday, Rickover was forced to retire from the Navy after 63 years of service under 13 presidents (Woodrow Wilson through Ronald Reagan). According to Rickover, he first learned of his firing when his wife told him what she heard on the radio."
According to former President Jimmy Carter, several weeks following Rickover's retirement, Rickover was invited to the Oval Office and decided to don his full dress uniform. Rickover told President Carter that he [Rickover] refused to take a seat, listened to the president [Reagan] ask him [Rickover] to be his special nuclear advisor. Rickover replied 'Mr. President, that is bullshit,' and then walked out.
President Carter later said that, next to his parents, Rickover was the greatest influence on his life.
In subsequent national media interviews, Rickover was quick to state that he had been forced out of the Navy.
Note: USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) is the third and final Seawolf-class, nuclear-powered, fast-attack submarine in the United States Navy. She is named for 39th President of the United States Jimmy Carter, the only president to have qualified in submarines.

Find a Grave Memorial Biography Bio by: Lori Richards
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, Inspiration to All Pioneers and Inventors
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit serves as an inspiration for pioneers, inventors, and all who work in the creative fields. He invented the mercury-in-glass thermometer and the Fahrenheit temperature scale. At the age of 28, Fahrenheit became the first person to make a pair of thermometers that could give identical, repeatable, and objective temperature readings.
Fahrenheit became so fascinated by the devices that he abandoned his apprenticeship, withdrew his inheritance, and ran away to study thermometer making. His hometown, angered at his defection from his government-appointed apprenticeship, placed a warrant for his arrest. He spent many years on the run from the authorities, learning more about glassblowing, physics, and chemistry along the way. When he died at age 50, he received the fourth-class funeral of one who is classified as destitute, in the Kloosterkerk in The Hague (the Cloister or Monastery Church).

AN OLD LANDMARK PASSES INTO OBSCURITY (from a National Historical Magazine)
For nearly two hundred years the old home of the Seay family has stood in Fork Union, Virginia, and just recently has been razed to the ground. Due to boundary demarcations, it was first in Goochland County, then in Albemarle County, and lastly in Fluvanna County. Abraham Seay (or Say), one of the first of several brothers to migrate to this county, was granted a tract comprising nearly four hundred acres, from King George II in 1745. A portion of the Fluvanna Tract remained in the Seay family until 1935, when the next to the last surviving member, Mrs. Victoria Seay White, passed away, at which time the Fork Union Military Academy acquired title thereto.
The old house at Fork union, typical of early design, had gable roof and wide hall, which never had doors during the earlier years, reflecting the hospitality of its owner – always open to guests. There were broad open fireplaces throughout the house. Meals were prepared in the log kitchen in the yard; pungent aromas arose from the savory dishes prepared by the family slaves and “toted” across the cobblestone walk to the basement, where they were served from an open fireplace with reflectors for retaining the hear. And the sturdy proverbial pot-hook swung gracefully to the side. Windows, doors and moldings were made by hand, as were the locks, screws and nails, many held together with wooden dowels. High mantles in the living room and bedrooms lent an air of charm and beauty to the once candlelit fireside. A unique fixture in the ceiling of a bedroom of the old home was a strap, suspended from an iron ring to allow one to turn in bed without assistance. This was installed for Grandfather Bowles, who spent his later years with his daughter.
Many rare pieces of china, crystal, brass and furniture are still in possession of the family, including the piano-forte, quaint and small, of red mahogany. One of the first in the vicinity, it was purchased to persuade a beautiful young daughter from marrying, but she eloped shortly after, was later forgiven and received the family blessing. A rare old chest belonging to the mother of Mrs. Benjamin Bowles (whose daughter married Austin Seay) was brought over from Europe and was said to have held the family treasures.
Private tutors were employed in the family, and many day students of prominent families recalled happy school days in the old home, known as “Dipperville”, a name acquired through he many business interests of the owner, who was affectionately dubbed “Austin Dipper”.
In addition to farm land, there was a tannery, a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, general merchandise store (including post office) and a grist mill. The gristmill was operated by waterpower from a large pond of water, affording boating, bathing and fishing. Fork Union Baptist Church used it for baptism before a pool was installed in the church. A spring in the midst of a lovely oak grove on the lower hill (north side) was walled by stone masonry in the shape of a boot; this work was done by the slaves.
Some legends are told of visitors, one of which weaves itself around General Robert E. Lee. Another relates to an escaped spy or prisoner, who sought shelter here during the war of 1861-1865, and was never suspected; later he confesses on his deathbed.
There is also to be recalled the beautiful temperance banner (now in possession of a descendant), embellished in blue and gold, emblem of the “Sons of Temperance”, the then leading “dry” organization of the community. A few years ago the Temperance Temple at Bremo, near Fork Union, built in 1831, was opened to the public.
The oldest family burial ground is on the place, where Austin Seay, Senior (Sergeant in the Revolutionary War), and his wife are buried.
Another lot adjoins Fork Union Baptist Church, which is also part of the tract deeded in 1824 by Joseph W. Seay and his wife Lucy, naming John H. Cocke, Thomas Omohundra and John Winn as trustees. The Episcopal relatives of General Cocke, of Bremo, attended worship there when four denominations held interest in it.
Also nearby is the family burial ground of Thomas Edward Seay, where a tavern “Three Chimneys” (to some known as “Old Chimneys”, also “Burnt Chimneys” stood. The name (Burn Chimneys) has been more definitely established. Stone first being used; burned bricks replacing stone. Remnants of the original roadbed of the Richmond-Charlottesville state-coach route, which led through, are still in evidence. An iron railing enclosed this quarter of an acre lot, entirely covered with cement, assuring perpetual care, and a bronze plate embedded in a huge granite stone bears the names of the family and connections.
Careby Hall, home of the late Reverend William E. Hatcher, founder of the Fork Union Military Academy, stands on the Tan Yard Hill, the rear of which overlooks Judy Creek, which supplied water for the old tan yard and in later years for the village of Fork Union.
The Bowles and Seays families have revered this spot jointly, old and young returning from distant states, each coming to visit the old plantation as a pilgrimage to honor their ancestral lineage.
In passing, one cannot but pause with a sign of regret that this old interesting landmark should be erased without mention. The early settlers sacrificed and labored to establish their homes. Granted there lands, each guarded his home as a castle and shrine dedicated to the life, liberty and happiness of a new civilization. A memorial on this spot would pay homage to the patriots who contributed to the establishing of a new world of freedom for future generations.
John C. Bogle, The Public Indignation of Forced Retirement
John Clifton "Jack" Bogle, founder of Vanguard International, and inventor of the S&P 500 Index Fund.
A month after mutual fund giant Vanguard Group said it would enforce its mandatory retirement policy on founder and Senior Chairman John C. Bogle Sr.--and after Bogle vowed he wasn’t about to resign--both have had a change of heart.
The 70-year-old Bogle, a legendary figure in the fund industry and the father of low-cost index mutual funds, agreed Friday to step down from Vanguard’s board, ending a public relations nightmare for the Valley Forge, Pa.-based company.
But that was only after the board agreed to waive its rule for him, he said. “Things can be done with a decent enough level of grace when you put your mind to it,” Bogle said in an interview Friday. “I was concerned from the outset that they weren’t waiving the [mandatory retirement] policy for the founder. I said this should have been my decision to make.”

NOTES on Col. John Jordan1777–1854
Colonel JOHN JORDAN 1777–1854 has caught my eye this morning for the following reasons:
1. Location: Rockbridge Co. adjoins Amherst Co. and today's Nelson Co. This puts Colonel JOHN JORDAN right next door.
2. Canal building was one of the chief occupations of Jordan in his later years. He built the Bateau Canal at Balcony Falls, and the Lexington Canal, which connected with the James River at Lynchburg. This major undertaking was completed in 1852. Note: Cousin Connie told me that our great grandfather was a ferryman on the James River.
3. Note: Colonel JOHN JORDAN 1777–1854 had a grandson named Captain Charles H.
4. Colonel JOHN JORDAN 1777–1854 had 14 children. Many of whom fought in Wars. This might explain why we are looking for John Jordan married to Elmira, and our great grandfather born in Sumter South Carolina.
5. My grandfather, Hubert Herbert Lacy Jordan, worked as a "Helper" in a machine shop at 14 years old, and is listed as working in a Machine Shop at age 17. Hubert Herbert Lacy Jordan retired as a Machinist from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard where he started working during WWII. Thus, my grandfather was in the metal working trade as a young boy.

Colonel JOHN JORDAN 1777–1854, VIRGINIA BUILDER
In the spring of 1802 there moved to the thriving frontier community of Lexington, Virginia a young man named John Jordan (1777–1854).
http://leefamilyarchive.org/reference/essays/jordan/index.html
Canal building was one of the chief occupations of Jordan in his later years. He built the Bateau Canal at Balcony Falls, and the Lexington Canal, which connected with the James River at Lynchburg. This major undertaking was completed in 1852,
The Colonel died July 25, 1854, and is buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Lexington. His will is on file in the county courthouse, and it reveals that his estate was valued at approximately $15,000: a considerable sum for his day. Most of Colonel Jordan's fourteen children migrated from Rockbridge County, but Samuel stayed on to direct the iron business, and John W. to found Rockbridge Baths, a dozen miles from Lexington.
==
Besides his activities in the church, building buildings, and contracting, he also was involved in the iron industry in six counties: Rockbridge, Bath, Amherst, Louisa, Allegheny, and Botetourt. John Jordan, throughout his life, owned and operated ten furnaces:
If someone typified the hard-working Scotch-Irish personality, it was John Jordan.
==========
A number of the present generation is serving in the war now closing. Colonel Jordan was himself a lieutenant in 1812, and twenty silver dollars were used as mountings on his sword. Several of his grandsons were in the war of 1861 and Captain Charles H., son of Samuel F., was severely wounded at Fisher's Hill.

Richard is the 3rd great grandnephew of James M. Loving and his wife Sarah "Sally" W. Jordan.
Native American
Manakintown did not last long. The Huguenots soon left the community to follow the dispersed patterns of settlement practiced by the Virginia planters. According to Campbell (1954:49). the Huguenots made friends with the Indians, and like the Quakers, had the freedom to move about the frontier unmolested. Mead (ibid) identifies a number of Huguenots names from an old list the Colony sent to England in 1714, and from a church register of 1721 that he received from the Dupuy family. The list contains a number of Hugeuenot names that are well known in present Amherst and Nelson today, including the Fontaines. Maurys, Duvalls. Rutledges. Harrises. Watkins, Farrars, Jordans. Ligons. Maupins. and Morrises. The French Huguenots thus added their particular culture to that of the emerging Tuckahoe culture.

Notes on Spelling of Last Names
In literature, there are the sisters Emily Bronte and Charlotte Bronte.
Their father Patrick Bronte was a hell-fire minister. Patrick Bronte came down so hard on them, that members of the congregation were known to have jumped out of the church windows during Sunday morning church service.
Patrick Bronte was known to have signed his last name six different ways. Back then, you spelled your last name the way you wanted people to pronounce it.

If this is a duplicate, please excuse.
Noticed you adopted several Lawhorn profiles. The Laugharne, Lawhorn, Lawhon Name Study was recently activated - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Lawhon_Name_Study
Would you care to join us?
Please enter this coding on profiles just under =Biography=:Your membership not required for that.
My paternal grandmother was a Lawhon.

Again, thanks for all you do, however, with over 270 unsourced profiles on your watchlist, please make sure you are able to keep up with the workload you are taking on through adoptions.
Thanks for having a Big Heart and taking responsibility for Orphaned Profiles. You will want to read this After Adopting Orphans as it explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need from their profile managers.
I think I have a good hunch who your Jordan ancestor is! I think it is Thomas Jordan of Culpeper Co, VA. (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jordan-16475).
1) He has a son named Absolem Jordan and a grandson named Jonas Jordan. Both those names appear in the Jonas Jordan line, which, if I remember correctly, you said you were a part of.
2) He appears to be connected with Francis Cooper, who a DNA connection of yours (Jordan Cooper) descends from. I found this snippet which names them together: Thomas Jordan and Francis Cooper appear together in the Culpeper Coubty document: “ John Wayman, assignee of Murdock McKenzey; no warrant, resurveyed 4 Nov 1767 for McKenzey; 156 a. adj. Col. William Beverley. On a survey made 8 Apr 1761, 211 a. of Col. Beverley's was included & now removed. CC: Thomas Jordan & Francis Cooper. Surv. Richard Young.” <ref> https://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhs31.html</ref>
Also, Thomas Jordan named a son Sharshall and Francis Cooper named a son Sarshall.
Let me know what you think!

We're sad to inform you that the Black Sheep Project is being dissolved. All BSP's subprojects will be moved in pieces under the Notables Project as categories and perhaps as Teams, depending on interest. Witch Trials will become a subproject of Notables.
Your BSP project member badge will soon be removed. If you'd like to join the Notables project, please let one of us know and we'll get you a Notables badge.
Please email either of us if you have any questions and if you'd like to join the Notables project.
Thanks, Susan McNamee & Traci Thiessen ~co-leaders, Black Sheep Project
Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention adopted profiles will sometimes need.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Looks like you were successful adding that tag! You should be hearing from the Project team soon.
Have fun and see you in the branches!
Azure Rae
Don't worry, we'll get it!
The tag for the Project (two words) is: BLACK SHEEP
Here is a step-by-step: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:How_To-Add_Tags
Once the Project Leader reviews your answer to the join post, you should be hearing back from them. Remember that WikiTree is run by volunteers from all over the world. So, the member who deals with adding new members to the Project might be asleep right now or at work.
You aren't a bother, I'm more than happy to help!
Azure Rae
No problem, that's what WikiTree is all about!
Their project page does mention to go to their G2G join post and answer it - they say to "Please also tell us in your post below what your research interests in the Black Sheep Project are - if possible, let us know if you'd like to join a sub-project too." Also, you will want to add a tag for BLACK SHEEP.
See you in the branches!
Azure Rae
It looks like the IBSSGORG moved their site to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ibssgorg/
I've sent in a request to the Project team to update the page! Thanks for alerting us!
Azure Rae ~ WikiTree Greeter
Thanks for your note. Great question! There is actually a Black Sheep Project that you may want to check out. Here are some example profiles: John Wilkes Booth and Martha Curnutt
Let me know if you need further assistance, I'm happy to help!

Thanks for your information and messages today. I was tied up at work but will add the information. You are welcome to contribute to these profiles as well. Please let me know if you need any help.
I noticed that you were currently following the CEMETERIES tag, but were not yet a member of the Cemeteries Global Cemeteries Project.If you are interested in more details about the project, or are just ready to sign up, please head on over to our G2G Welcome Post for more information.
I look forward to seeing you around the tree!
Steve ~Global Cemeteries Project Leader
Thank you for the additional information, I had a look at the family and there is some work to do to sort out who is who. I will continue to review this over the coming weeks there are a number of records to look through. I actually had his profile open when you emailed me :)
Please do not worry to much about having the merge rejected or in making a 'mistake' we all make and generally they are easy enough to fix.
Regards Janet
