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. 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.

Further excursion among the stones revealed monuments to five Lathrops and six Leffingwells. Still musing, the Pilgrim trudged off beside the meadows to where the two Old Lathrop Houses face one another across the brink of Washington Street. [Norwich, CT]
The lower one stands on land Samuel Lathrop inherited from his mother, but his seventeenth century house was burned in 1745. Dr. Daniel Lathrop, his grandson, was responsible for the present structure, yet it cannot be said that he built it, for there is no way of knowing how much was reclaimed from the former damaged abode. It is quite possible that this very kitchen saw Mohegan Indians lying before the fire of an autumn night, for the Lathrops would never close their doors against the original owners of the soil, and Colonel Simeon, one of Samuel's sons, was a great sympathizer with the wrongs of the Mohegans.

Quest. What is the Efficiency of God?
Answ. The Efficiency of God is that whereby he worketh all in all things according to the counsel of his will, for his own glory, by his Omnipotency in Creation and Providence, and which honour of working belongs to the three persons, who work the same according to their distinct manner and order of Subsistence.
1. It is that whereby he worketh all in all things for he is the first Being, hence the power of working is of him, and hence he is the first mover in all other causes, and worketh all in all, Eph. 1.11.
