The letter traces the genealogy of Albert Sidney Johnston. This collection may be protected from unauthorized copying by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code). Albert Sidney Johnston was born in Washington, Kentucky, February 2, 1803. In 1826, Johnston graduated from the U.S. Military Academy. He served in the Black Hawk War and later migrated to the Republic of Texas where he was a general of the Texas Army and secretary of war. Johnston also served in the Mexican War, after which he reentered the regular army of the U.S. In 1855, he received the command of the elite 2nd Cavalry Regiment with a promotion to rank of colonel. Two years later, he commanded the expedition to quell the Mormon rebellion in Utah Territory and was thereafter promoted to brevet brigadier general. Johnston became commander of the Department of the Pacific in 1860, then reluctantly joined the Confederacy after his adopted state of Texas seceded in 1861. His former classmate, Jefferson Davis, appointed him commander of the western theatre of operations. Johnston was killed at the Battle of Shiloh after commanding a surprise attack on Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's forces in April, 1862. He was buried first at New Orleans, then in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.

The certificate of payment, dated Aug. 10, 1787, was signed by Isaac Shelby of the District of Kentucky authorizing Kenton's pay for services as captain in the Shawnee Expedition under Col. Benjamin Logan. The six Register's Office certificates of purchase were for land bought in Kentucky by Kenton in 1804 and 1805. A document signed by Gov. James Garrard of Kentucky May 18, 1800, verifies Simon Kenton's grant of land in Mason County, Oct. 19, 1780. One indenture between Kenton and John Caldwell transferred land in Mercer County, Kentucky, to Caldwell on Dec. 6, 1794. Another indenture, dated Aug. 29, 1818, transferred land in Bath County, Kentucky, from Kenton to Andrew Kinkead. An indenture for land in Mercer County, Kentucky, was made between Simon Kenton and Charlotte and Alexander Walker, Sally and Greenberry McGinnis, and Jenny and John Wright, Apr. 21, 1824.

Simon Kenton, a pioneer settler of Kentucky, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, April 3, 1755. In the spring of 1775, Kenton and Thomas Williams explored the area of Mason County, Kentucky, where they set up camp. Kenton moved on to Boonesborough in the fall of that year and became a famous scout and Indian fighter. Shortly after his first wife's death, Kenton married Elizabeth Jarboe in 1798. That same year, Kenton moved to Ohio where he spent the rest of his life, mostly in poverty. He managed his finances badly, lost large amounts of land, and was even briefly imprisoned for debt while on a visit to Washington, Kentucky, in 1820. Kenton died near Zanesville, Ohio, April 29, 1836.

This letter discusses a donation of fossilized bones from Big Bone Lick, Kentucky. Graham details his travels, including a survey expedition for the 'Texas and Pacific Railroad', and being 'mess mates' with Ulysses S. Grant during the Blackhawk War of 1832. Provenance information for the fossilized bones is provided in this letter. Available on microfilm, Clift no. 0371; This collection may be protected from unauthorized cipying by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code.) Christopher Columbus Graham was born in 1784, near Danville, Kentucky. He was involved in several military expeditions including the War of 1812, the Blackhawk War, and the Mexican War. He graduated from Transylvania University with a degree in medicine after the Mexican War. He served as a surgeon on Colonel Gray's expedition to survey land for the Southern, Atlantic, and Pacific Railroad. During his life, he was devoted to collecting items to perserve the natural history of Kentucky. Graham was widely known as a physician, hunter, explorer, surveyor, soldier, and author. He died in 1884. John Robert Procter was born in Mason County, Kentucky, on March 16, 1844. He was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. He became Kentucky state geologist and Commissioner of Immigration in 1880. In 1892, Procter was dismissed from his position by Governor John Young Brown. In 1893, President Grover Cleveland appointed Procter to head the U.S. Civil Service Commission. He served in this capacity until his death in 1903. Fifteen to twenty thousand years ago, a great ice sheet covered an area from northern Canada to the Ohio River. South of this sheet, wooly mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, and giant bison came to a salt lick in Boone County, Kentucky. This sight has become known as Big Bone Lick, Kentucky. Many of the animals became trapped in the boggs and died, their bones buried and perserved. French Captian Charles Lemoye de Longueil collected some of these fossils and sent them to King Louis XV of France. Benjamin Franklin studied some of the bones and concluded elphants used to live in America. In 1807, William Clark excavated bones for scientific study. These specimens made their way to museums around the world.

Peers was born in Ireland in 1756. He immigrated first to Scotland, then to Loudoun County, Virginia in 1773. He planned to be a linen merchant but instead entered military service on the American side in the Revolutionary War. He rose to the rank of Brigade Major before leaving the army in November, 1777, to pursue his business interests. Peers married Eleanor Orr in 1791. He and his wife lived in Loudoun and Prince William counties in Virginia until 1803 when they moved to Lower Blue Licks in Nicholas County, Kentucky. Major Peers was involved in the manufacture of salt there for five years. He also opened cotton factories in Paris and Maysville. Peers later moved his family to Paris and became a judge of the Court of Quarter Sessions there, circa 1808 to 1812. His later business interests included insurance subscriptions, land investments, and selling stock in the Lexington and Maysville Turnpike Road Company, which was incorporated in 1817. Peers moved to Maysville in 1819 and remained there until his death. He served as a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church in Maysville for the last ten years of his life.

The document's format consists of questions posed by both the complainant and the defendant with Kenton's answers listed afterward. Kenton states that he came to Kentucky in 1775 and soon after 'he became acquainted with the leading roads then traveled by Buffalo and Indians ...' He mostly describes his activities in 1779 and 1780, including conducting surveys for the Marshall family. He also mentions Daniel Boone, John Logan, Robert Patterson, and others with whom he traveled throughout Kentucky. This document contains two of his signatures. This collection may be protected from unauthorized copying by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code). Simon Kenton, a pioneer settler of Kentucky, was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, April 3, 1755. In the spring of 1775, Kenton and Thomas Williams explored the area of Mason County, Kentucky, where they set up camp. Kenton moved on to Boonesborough in the fall of that year and became a famous scout and Indian fighter. Shortly after his first wife's death, Kenton married Elizabeth Jarboe in 1798. That same year, Kenton moved to Ohio where he spent the rest of his life, mostly in poverty. He managed his finances badly, lost large amounts of land, and was even briefly imprisoned for debt while on a visit to Washington, Kentucky, in 1820. Kenton died near Zanesville, Ohio, April 29, 1836.
