------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Battle of Dunbar 3rd September 1650 -
taken from "Scottish Battles" by C. Stewart Black, published by Brown
Son & Ferguson, Ltd.,
The Presbyterians of Lowland Scotland had
the strongest objection to King Charles I as a religious dictator. Their faith was a matter solely for
themselves and their own consciences, with which neither pope nor king might to
interfere. To the house of Stewart,
however, they were entirely loyal. There
was no trace in them of the republicanism which formed so large a part of the
policy of the English sectaries.
Cromwell, the chief protagonist of that quack remedy for political ills,
they hated like Lucifer, whose apostle, indeed, they believed him to be.
They esteemed him at what was probably
more near to his real worth than have been the conceptions of certain
historians, two Scotsmen among them, who have chosen to see in him a great man
and a liberator, instead of a fanatical boor and one of the worst oppressors
the isles of Britain have ever groaned under.
In
The news of the murder of the king at
They were a strange people, though. They made this demonstration of loyalty to
the crown; but when the greatest
royalist among them came back from exile, they sent an army against him, and
James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, was taken and hanged as any felon might have
been.
On the 23rd of June, 1650, the young king
landed at the mouth of the Spey. He had
submerged his scruples, and signed both the National Covenant and the Solemn
League; he would probably have signed anything at the time. Now he was in full favour with his loyal
people, who installed him in
Cromwell was furiously angry, and possibly
a little alarmed, when he learned of the turn of affairs in the north. He had imagined that the heads of all the
Stewarts were on the neck of Charles I; yet here was one of them very much
alive in
Meantime, the Scots had not been
idle. They had collected an army for the
protection of their king, and placed it under the command of David Leslie. In point of numbers, it was considerably
stronger than Cromwell's force, but in military qualities it seems to have been
sadly lacking, being led, according to a writer of the period "mainly by
ministers' sons, clerks and such other sanctified creatures, who hardly ever
saw or heard of any sword but that of the Spirit". It was controlled by a parliamentary
committee, composed largely of ministers, which did not scruple to dictate to
Leslie and to over-ride his experienced judgement whenever it saw fit.
On the 22nd of July, 1650, Cromwell had
entered
The Scottish commander, who had fought
Montrose and finally beaten him, was an able leader, but on his parliamentary
committee, modelled apparently on the lines of a kirk session, he had such a
handicap as few generals can ever have been hampered with. Their first determination was that their
armed forces should be strong in the Word, whatever they might be in the
field. No back-slider should be in their
ranks, no man however good with sword and pike, who was not above suspicion in
the matter of the Covenant. A series of
courtmartials were therefore established, and before the end of August, with
Cromwell and his formidable array close at hand, some four thousand men were
expelled from the Scottish army for lack of godliness. As will readily be understood, these were
almost the whole of the real soldiers in Leslie's command. The clerks and the ministers' sons were left
to him.
On 28th July Cromwell established his camp
at Musselburgh. Somewhat to his
surprise, he found the people of
He decided to make an appeal to their
commonsense, and besought "God's elect in
He decided, therefore, without more adon,
to make an effort to capture
Now followed several weeks of
manoeuvering, marching, and counter-marching. Cromwell was in serious
straits. The harbour at Musselburgh was
quite inadequate for his needs, and, unless he could secure a better base, he
was threatened with famine. As it was,
during a month he lost 5,000 men, mainly from disease brought on by exposure
and insufficient food.
Giving up all hope of taking Leith, he
made several attempts on Queensferry, but each time he was outwitted by Leslie,
whose superior military genius and more intimate local knowledge enabled him to
seize the key posiitons which commanded every approach to the firth of
Cromwell was forced to move southward, and
still he was out-generaled. He fell back
on
Cromwell was in a trap, which would not be
easily got out of. His enemies blocked
his way to the south. If he attempted to
force a passage, he would have to fight with all the advantages against him,
and could scarely hope for success. To
retreat by sea was impossible. the
weather was stormy; he had not enough ships to accommodate all his men; and,
apart from those difficulties, embarkation, with Leslie's troopers hovering
around and ready to pounce at any favourable opportunity, would probably have
cost him half his force. He said
himself, in a letter, that escape would require "almost a miracle".
The situation could scarsely have been
worse. Yet stout-hearted Oliver did not
despair. "We have much hope in the
Lord," he wrote, "of Whose mercy we have had large
experience." He was to be justified
in his confidence. The miracle happened.
On the evening of the 2nd of September,
the English were astounded to see the Scots coming down from their hill. All night through, columns of them filed down
on to the plain, and by morning they had given up the whole of their advantage.
To Cromwell it must have seemed that Leslie had gone mad.
The ministers had been at work again,
teaching their general his business. In
vain he pointed out that he had maneuvered the English force into a position
from which their escape was practically impossible, and that in time they would
be compelled by famine to surrender.
There was no need for the Scots to risk the uncertain outcome of a
battle. But the committee of amateur
tacticians were impatient. The Lord had
been good to them. Victory was within
their reach. Let them snatch it without
further delay.
Some of the preachers put a sudden end to
the argument by marshalling their flocks and leading them down the
hillside. Leslie could do nothing else
than follow.
When Cromwell saw the new position taken
up by the Scots, well might he exclaim, as he is said to have done, "the
Lord hath delivered them into my hands."
They had the Brock Burn, within its deep banks, on their left; behind
them was the steep slope of the hill; if they failed to achieve a speedy
success they would find it impossible either to retire or to execute a change
of front. They would be completely hemmed
in when once he had taken up the position he contemplated.
Before daybreak, on 3rd Septemer, the
English began to move south from
The attack began as soon as the two armies
were opposite each other. The onset was
by the English. Lambert's brigade and
Monk's made the first advance. They were
received with the greatest resolution, and forced to retire with considerable
loss. Then Cromwell himself led forward
three regiments of foot and one of horse.
They, too, were stoutly met by the men to whom Leslie had entrusted his
first line. But Cromwell's troops were
fresh. The others had already fought
Monk and Lambert. The Ironsides forced
their way on, till they had only the clerks and ministers' sons to deal
with. Those gentlemen promptly fled,
throwing the whole army into confusion.
The battle was over. Two
regiments "fought it out manfully, and were all killed as they
stood." Of the rest, many surrendered
immediately; the remainder of the "sanctified creatures" threw away
their weapons and ran, with the English dragoons hard on their heels, cutting
them down in swathes.
At
Had Leslie been allowed to retain his
ungodly veterans, there would probably have been a different ending to the
battle, and a different course to the subsequent history of
As it was, Cromwell was to trample on
liberty for several years more. He died
on the 3rd of September, 1658. It might
have been eight years earlier to the day if David Leslie had had a free hand
and his own men at

as Ingles and Ingersoll. A Ingersoll
genealogist made loud and clear claims that there could not have been a Johanna
Ingersoll of the date and place where this 'widow of James Grant'

to list her as "Johanna, widow of James Grant".

"John Grant, born in 1746 in Berwick,
was the first born of Lander's 12 children.
John would have been 29 when the war broke out with the British. While accurate and vital records are lacking,
presumably he enlisted on a non-commissioned status in 1776, and was
commissioned as a quartermaster that year.
John obviously had a good record and came out a captain, continuing the
tradition of military leadership demonstrated by his grandfather Lt. Peter
Grant, and his great-grandfather, Captain James Grant. THIS IS NOT 'OUR' JOHN GRANT. THIS JOHN GRANT IS BURIED IN ME

Certain basic statistics about the
American Revolution - frequency of engagements, casualties in battle, deaths in
camp, prisoners of war, size of the army at any given time, total number of
participants, geographical spread or concentration of its actions - have never
been compiled. In consequence the
dimensions of that war have always been hazy.
The names of a few generals and of a few big battles or campaigns are
the chief legacy. Yet it was a long war,
full of wearing, small actions, its theater streatching from the St. Lawrence
River to the Gulf of Mexico and inland to the

Two full companies were raised in

Wood was soon after promoted to Major, and Ebenezer Sullivan, a brother of
General John Sullivan, succeeded him in command. More than one hundred from the two companies
were minutemen who were enlisted May 5, 1775 and remained in the army
throughout the entire struggle.

again: 'In 1777 there were frequent
calls for men for three years or more during the war. The town's quota was thirty-five. Twenty six of these actually enrolled in the
service are given here.' In another
place - 'Money was lavishly contributed by all patriots, both young and old,
for soldiers' food, clothing and blankets.
The enlisting took place at private houses. Jacob Shorey's house was used for this
purpose in 1777.'

Notes for PETER GRANT:
PETER GRANT (1770 -1836)
Came with his father to the
Sabsticook. He became a Major, probably
in the War of 1812. Peter established a
shipyard at Bowman Point. He founded
the old Gardiner Bank and was its first President. He built a fine house in Gardiner, when it
was torn down the summer of 1897 an old coin was found in the chimney place
dated 1790.
It is claimed that he left a fortune to
his six children, therefore one of the other children died, probably Catherine
died in childhood, at least it was more than likely she died prior to her
father's death.

from the "Ecclesiastical"
Chapter of
pg. 260 "The germ of the Methodist
Church in Gardiner was formed in 1802 at Bowman's point, where in the following
year a meeting-house was erected, on the intervale just north of PETER
GRANT's house.--This edifice was never
finished, as there was a tendency in the society to concentrate in the villages
of Hallowell and Gardiner.--It continued to be used occasionally for worship,
till about 1830, when it was taken down."

"Another Old Citizen Gone - Royal
Clark Grant died at the home of William Harris on lower
"Mr. Grant was born in or near
His first business was tanning and dealing
in leather. At one time he had a
well-filled store of merchandise in Pomeroy, where he also engaged in the coal
business. Later he operated, and in part
owned, the Ohio Machine Shop at Middleport.
He was an influential business man as early as the thirties and was a
heavy loser in the floods of 1832. At
one time he was well known and his influence was felt throughout Meigs county,
and even in other places; but he was not a successful financier, and later in
life financial reverses compelled him to retire from active business and he
sank into comparative obscurity, spending his time in making inventions and
improvements on machinery, etc. He was
postmaster at Pomeroy about six years in the [18] fourties and magistrate even
longer than that. In this latter
capacity he was called upon to marry many couples, and sometimes he would tell
amusing stories of his experiences in tying the nuptial knot.
At one time he was considered the
brightest Free-Mason in Meigs county and served the Masonic fraternity in
official capacities. He was Master of
the lodge at
In personal appearance, Mr. Grant was a
fine looking man, especially in his best days.
During the past few years he has been but a broken reed in comparison
with his former self, but before his faculities were impared he was a man of
strong mind whose opinions were respected and of unconquerable will. Often carrying his firmness so far that his
own interest suffered in consequence.
There was nothing impure or profane in his conversation. He has told of himself that he never uttered
but one profane oath, and that we when he was dared to do so under very
peculiar circumstances. Nor would he
intentionally be dishonest or wrong anyone.
In 1833 he married Livina Fuller, from
Chauncery, near
He believed in God, and in a hereafter,
but had peculiar views about the Bible, which I understand he has written out
in a large pile of manuscript. He also
kept an account of all strange and remarkable occurrences, which account was
found among his papers after his decease.
He has gone to his account. He is
in the hands of a righteous and living God.
There we leave him. Amen."
The sermon was a strong and logical
presentation of the doctrine that, though we cannot say positively whether any
one has gone to heaven or among the infernals, yet in any event God is love,
for the creation of the universe cannot be justified in the final destiny of
the wicked is an unmitigated curse to them.
Several have asked that the sermon be published. The funeral was well attended by relatives
and friends of the deceased, and the remains were laid away in the hill
cemetery, the bearers and others wading through the deep snow, admist the most
biting, driving storm that has been known here for scores of years."

40. BENJAMIN7 KNIGHT (AGNES6 GRANT, JOHN5, LANDRES4, PETER3, JAMES2, PETER1)301. He married DOLLY NEWELL.
Notes for BENJAMIN KNIGHT:
from an email: Eleanor Knight eknight@eurekanet.com 1/6/1999
- a direct descendant of Benjamin Knight.
"There are lots of anecdotes about
the Knight's. So let's start with
Benjamin. He was John and Agnes'
son. I knew that he was born in Maine
but thought that he was only one of two children who came with them. We don't have birth dates for many of the
children. At any rate he must have been
twelve years old when they made their journey.
When he was twenty-three he married Dolly Ann, who was a character in
her own right. Benjamin was a Justice of
the Peace for many years. We have his -
whatever you call it - signed by Rutherford B. Hayes as Governor of Ohio. But when Benjamin was 56 years old he
enlisted in the Union army and shipped out from Marietta on the Ohio
River. I think that he was not in the
battle of Shiloh, but came past the battlefield shortly after the battle and
was shocked at the carnage. He kept a
diary which I have, but the entries are not very exciting. He went to Island No. 10 and then overland to
Corinth and took part in the battles there.
He was stationed at Iuka and if you don't know where that is -- join the
crowd. In fact when I read it in his
diary I couldn;t be sure how it was spelled.
Finally I found it in the atlas right near Corinth. By the time he was there he had dysentery and
applied for a discharge. He told about
the resort and the mineral springs in the town in his letters home. Several years ago Howard and I were on a trip
through that area so of course we had to stop at Iuka. The resort hotel was long gone, but the springs
were still there under a shelter house.
I didn't try to drink from them.
But the seven springs were there.
Benjamin had left his two sons to run the
family business. Actually his youngest
son, Benjamin Franklin Knight, enlisted at the same time Benjamin did, but they
were not in the same company. Anyway BF
Knight got dysentery early and was invalided out before they went down
south. BF and Daniel were to run the
mill and I suppose do what farming had to be done. The letters tell of sawing logs, but not of
grinding grain. We have a deed dated
1850 stating that B Knight bought the saw mill, fulling mill, and grist mill
and mill yard for $1,022.
Benjamin came home finally after about a
year in the army and ended his diary "So ends my trip in the
army". However, his health was
ruined and he died in 1872. His father
and I think his mother, were still alive.
One tragedy in his life was the loss of
his son Daniel. WE do not kow what
happened to him. After Benjamin came
home, we have a letter or two from Daniel from Long Something, Lousiana. I will have to look that up. He said that the guns were firing so heavy
around Vicksburg That he was going up to see things. That his dad had told about how heavy the
guns fired, but this must be worse. And
that is all we heard. Benjamin made a
note in his diary on the last page, that Daniel was taken prisoner above
Vicksburg. There is a stone in the
Chester Cemetery for Daniel but no body there.
There is no information in the National archives about him, so he must
not have been in the army, but may have been running a plantation there for the
North.
I just run on and on. Sincerely, Eleanor."

Notes for EZRA C. GRANT:
Ezra C. Grant - was a photographer in
Lamar, Barton Co., MO. At the Barton Co.
Historical Society Library and Museum there are several photographs which he
took on display. At the bottom of the
photographs is "GRANT - N.W. Cor. Square, Lamar". He obtained the permit to bury for both his
mother, Sarah P. Grant (d. May 2, 1883] and his father, E.T. Grant [d. Dec 11,
1891] and placed them in the family lot in Lake Cemetery, Lamar, Barton Co., MO
- where just three years after his father's death, he would join them in
eternal rest. The permit to bury E.C.
Grant was obtained by a J. W. Beaty.
Questions?: Where was his son Roy Grant - was he too young to bury his
father. Was the mother Belle already at
the asylum [insane] in Nevada where she would die in 1918?[it was suggested by
a lady working at the Barton Co. Historical Society Library in Lamar that Belle
might have been in the asylum since the funeral record for her death showed no
'cost' - usually this meant that the
town/asylum had picked up the expenses .
However, later this woman found that a death notice stated that she died
at the home of her son, Roy in Nevada.}
Was M. W. Grant - his brother - already too ill - (Cause of death
"stomach" - ? Ca of the stomach?) or too far away - Joplin to help
with the arrangements for the father E.T. or the brother E. C.?

============================
taken "From Kittery to Kansas" -
'Born June 24, 1848 in Middleport, Ohio,
william Hobart Grant was the second child born of William Hull and Estherr
Hobart Grant.
In 1871, William Hobart Grant and a
friend, William Halsey, were part of a covered wagon caravan headed west in
quest of adventure and opportunity. When
the wagons arrived in Barton Co., Kansas, near the town of Ellinwood, both
Williams decided to stay there as homesteaders.
William Hobart Grant returned to
Middleport in 1873 to keep alive his romance with Ella Jeanette Logan. He then went back to Kansas where he
developed a dairy farm on his 160 acres on the south side of the Arkansas
River. His friend, William Halsey,
homesteaded land on the other side of the river.
In 1877 William returned again to
Middleport, this time to marry Ella Jeanette Logan. He brought his new bride to live in a asd
house which he had built in this then sparsely populated part of the great
plains country.
In November of 1878, Ella returned to
Middleport (by then there were trains) to give birth to their son, William
Thomas, who was born Noovember 30, 1878.
In those days Ellinwood had no doctors, but Middleport had medical
facilities. Six other children -
Kathleen (Mrws. J. H. Torrance); Frank; Helen; Frederick, who died at age 2;
and twins Donald and Dorothy (Mrs. John W. Dulles) were born to William Hobart
Grant and Ella Jeanette.
The last six children were born in
Ellinwood for by that time a doctor was available. To obtain the doctor's service required
someone going on horseback to the doctor's residence, and bringing him to the
home.
William Hobart Grant homesteaded
additionaol land obtained by exercising a timber claim, then planting 1,000
Catalpa trees which were used for railroad ties. Today the Grant farm is operated by Donald
Grant and Marjorie and Dale Ballard.
Active in the affairs of Ellinwood and
Barton County Kansas, he (William Hobart Grant) served as the first County
Superintendent of schools of Barton County.
William Hobart Grant died in 1902 and is
buried in the Ellinwood cemetery.

Notes for GEORGE WHITLOCK GRANT:
from email from Sandra Kay Grant -
Kaykalar@aol.com Feb. 8, 1999
"George W. was in the grocery
business, owned some homes and apartments and from all I have heard was quite
successful. I barely remember seeing him
one time and I think he held my hand and we walked to the store and got candy
or something and he seemed quite warm and grandfatherly."

pupils. He did marry Nannie Ping as it
says in the poem.
"MEMORIES OF MY OLD SCHOOL DAYS IN
JOPLIN"
Back in the years 1877 and 8
I took my reader, spelling book and slate
And started to school in old East Town
In a little old school house
Two rooms upstairs, and two rooms down
And after passing in from out in the hall
There was the old blackboard on the wall
That term, our teacher's name was
Underwood
And he taught us hoodlums the best he
could
But when the term was out
And he slammed shut the door
He said "Lord. I'd have gone nuts
In one month more"
So our next teacher was professor Race
Who had long white hair and a bull-dog
face
He laid back his ears
And clamped down his jaw
And said, "Now you hoodlums,
Don't start anything raw."
but at the end of the term
He was glad to get loose
He said six more weeks
Would have cooked his goose
We knew then for next term
A change would occur
And sure enough our teacher
Was Rev. L. Z. Burr
He had lots of patience
And for five days he would teach
And then come Sunday
He'd go out to preach
But we got on his patience so day after
day
He go so nervous
He could not even pray.
Here are some names of my old school plans
Some of the boys and some of the gals
There was Mattie Ballad and Mattie Mills
And big chuckle, red headed
And Phillip Leach and Peachie Sherril
Who were both to bashful to date a girl
And Emma Shortis who was very quite and
wise
In solving our problems she would advise
And Frannie Nichols and Margie Axtell,
quite a pair
Both had blue eyes and bright red hair
There were Amsel and his sister, Allie
Blackwell
And Frank, Ursula, and Nap Chattle
And Bill Maddy and his brother John.
And John and his sister, Mary Atchison
And two little girls we must not forget
Their names were nannie and Emma Gillette
