Notebook - Maryland #4

Danger, Will Robinson, danger!  That's what doing research on the Beall, Magruder, Brewer, Howard and Ridgley families of Maryland is like.  One guy says this . . . the next completely contradicts him . . . . and the third has another theory.  Here are a lot of contradictions.  Let me know if you figure it out!!  I'm going to keep working on it too.

Quest. What is the infusion of Faith?

Answ. The infusion of Faith is the pouring into the heart a spirit of faith whereby the soul is affected toward Christ as a giver of life, and by means of the covenant of grace cometh to Christ for life, and is joyned to him as its head.

1. This infusion of Faith is the pouring into the heart a spirit of Faith: a disposition or spirit to believe. 2 Co. 4.13.

Hence followeth, 1. The heart is affected towards Christ as the giver of life, John 4.10. 2. Comes to Christ for life, Job 6.37 and this is by means of the covenant of grace which containeth the promise of life to believers.  The Law is a means remotely to prepare for faith, but the Gospel nextly as it contains the covenant of grace. Gal. 3.2. 3. And thus the soul is joyned to Christ as its head:

Atherton, Wanda, Glenna Badgley & Martha McMunn. Pulaski County, Illinois Genealogy Notes, Carterville, IL: Genealogy Society of Southern Illinois, 1988.

Ark Store, a wooden structure, was about a quarter mile west of Lower Salem Church near the west boundary of Massac County, IL.  The store faced east with a pot-bellied stove placed in the rear for warming hands and backsides.  There was a lean-to for storage of extra supplies.  If you had an extraordinary need, Uncle Luther (1884-1960) had it someplace.  Given enough tim,  he found that what you asked for - even mothballs from the house.

The store was first operated by Robert and Maud Smith when the land was owned by H.N. Smith, Maud's dad. (?)  About the time of World War I, the land sold to Will Peck and the Smith's moved to Boaz.  Peck sold to Ernest Easter in the early 1930s.  Luther operated the store from about 1900 - 1939, and the post office was located there for a short time.

Henry Moorehead, son of Alfred born in Virginia and Mary Duheral [Durall] born in North Carolina (Cherokee Indian), was born in Kentucky in 1830.  Henry married Jane Ann Metcalf who was born on Feb. 28, 1835 to Thomas Fleming (1808-1869) and Jane Ann (Graham) Metcalf (1816-1882) of Kentucky.  Henry's home is now the property of Paul Fisher of Karnak route, which once was Ash Ridge and then Hillerman precinct, but is now Logan precinct.  There was a graveyard on the property.  There were six girls in this family; some went to California, including Penelope Clark, the oldest. Viola married George Berry and Minnie (Mrs. Frank Merchant) was their daughter.  Viola married jesse Eaves and their daughter was Margie (Mrs. Stanton Mcintire) of Grand Chain and Mound City.  The oldest daughter Penelope had the care of the home and younger sisters for a while after the death of their mother.

About 1872 Henry married Elizabeth (Turner) Trumbo, widow of Cammellis Trumbo, who had two boys, Ambrose and Issac "Ike."  Am[brose]'s family went to California; Ike's family lived near Hillerman (Gabtown) and then moved to Elgin.  Henry's second family were five boys and sister Birdie (1888-1928). Grandma Moorehead (1843-1923) lived with Luther in the house near the Ark Store during her last years.  Luther was a twin of Arthur, a blacksmith, near Union School.  Brother henry moved to Mound City.  A member of Henry's family was working at the Cairo Hospital a few years ago.  When taking a patient's history, she discovered they had an Uncle Luther in common.  The patient was Birdie's daughter.  The newspaper of Metropolis, March 1911 had an item: Eddie Douglas seems to be safe in the Ark.  Birdie and Ed Douglas were married.  Arthur's oldest daughter married Clyde Douglas, son of William Clinton Douglas.

Next of Application.

Quest. What is Application of Christ's Redemption?

Answ. Application of Christ's Redemption is the second part of mans recovery, whereby that which Christ hath done as a Mediator is applyed to those whom the Father hath elected, & made theirs effectually by the Spirit, and giveth common gifts to others, in which let us consider.

1. What is applyed - that which Christ hath done as a Mediator.

The Pocahontas Times
Thursday, April 16, 1931

Messing around in the County Clerk's office of Pocahontas County for something to print, I got into order book number 2, and turned to the declarations of the revolutionary soldiers then alive in Pocahontas county for pensions under the set of Congress of June 7, 1832.  The first one recorded is that of John Slaven.  His declaration is short; to the effect that he was a regular soldier of the 12th Virginia regiment and the records are in the war office.  It reads -- At a court held for the county of Pocahontas on the seventh day of August 1832, the following order was entered

On the 4th day of August, 1832, personally appeared before the subscriber one of the commonwealth's justices of the peace in and for the county aforesaid, John Slaven, aged seventy-two years, who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832: that he entered the service of the US under the following named officers and served as herein stated:  Capt Michael Bowyer, 12th Virginia Regiment; commander Col. Jas. Wood, General Scott's Brigade; that he served three years as a private in the regular army of the Revolution, as will appear by the records in the war office, and that he is the same John Slaven that was on the pension list roll of Virginia by a law of the US of the 18th of March, 1818, and afterwards stricken therefrom by a subsequent act, in consequence of holding property at the time which excluded him of the benefit of said act, and that he, the said John Slaven, resides in the same place that he did when application was first made as above; then Pendleton County, now Pocahontas County.

Quest. Why must Christ be God and Man?

Ans. Christ must be man that he might suffer for man and teach man familiarly, and be of the same kind with his body; and he was God, that he might enable his humane nature to suffer, and that he might be a most able Prophet, and be able to (--?--) his body, and rule as King.

Quest. What is the punishment of sin?

Answ. The punishment of sin is death, which is a privation of a happy life, and being subject to the contrary misery, both the first death, the body deprived of the comforts of this life, and at last severed from the Soul, and the second death which is the death of the Soul.

1. Death is the punishment of sin, Gen. 2.17. 

2. It is a privation of a happy life not meerly a privation of life, for then Being should cease, and the Subjects of misery be taken away, and so the punishment ended, but it is a privation of a happy or comfortable life, hence the parts of death are,

Armagh County Council. Armagh County Guide, Belfast, Ireland: Nicholson & Bass, nd.

The name Armagh comes from the Irish Ard Macha (the height of Macha) the legendary queen, who during this period (Iron Age), had a palace or fortress on the hill which forms the nucleus of the city of Armagh and from the town the county takes its name.  Later, about 300 BC, a second queen macha moved the centre of power a few miles west and built Emain Macha or the Navan Fort, an enclosure of about 12 acres surrounded by trench and rampart.  For some 700 years Emain Macha served as the inauguration place for the Kings of Ulster and was the centre of law and learning for the ancient province. 

In 444 AD St. Patrick came to Armagh City and established his principal church in Ireland on the hilltop given to him by Daire, the local prince.  As time passed and Christianity spread, Armagh increased in fame and with its churches, colleagues and schools grouped around the Cathedral on the hill-top, became one of those centres of learning which helped to keep the torch of knowledge burning in the Dark Ages in Europe when Ireland was the isle of saints and scholars.
