Finley" Submitted by: Brooks Hubler Article mentions Meade (Estill), Madison, Owsley & Lee Counties "For The USGW KY Archives" BRANDENBURG FAMILY Dictated by John H. Brandenburgh, II (Jr.) Madison County, Kentucky June 04, 1845 - December 30, 1924 (before his death) Writer unknown The most remote ancestor that I know anything of, was a German subject, bearing the name of Brandenburgh, who resided in luxury and ease upon a large and magnificent landed estate, "Brandenburg" in Germany until the time he refused and did not salute his sovereign in passing, which was an offense regarded as hostile to his reign, the punishment the loss of the head, and not being inclined to suffer the penalty, Brandenburgh made his escape and took refuge in crossing the great ocean, the Atlantic, to America, out of range of the emperor and to where his authority did not extend, whose word in his own realm was law, and so Brandenburgh made his permanent abode after this in this country and became a staunch supporter of the government of the United States of America and scorned that of the land of his nativity and this Brandenburgh became the founder of my branch of the Brandenburgh family in this country. The name of the wife or her pedigree is unknown to me, but I suppose this branch of the family would never have existed as it has if it had been different, but so it was, and couldn’t have been otherwise, for a kind Providence so ruled. The large and magnificent estate of the Refugee, "Brandenburgh", was confiscated and taken over and appropriated to and by the Crown, and from it not a mite has been received by the Refugee or any of his descendants and no effort made to recover same for such an effort would have been unavailing. A son and Solomon Brandenburgh (if a son, I do not know) accompanied the Refugee Immigrant to this land of freedom and liberty. Solomon Brandenburgh, after coming to this country, was raised to the rank of Colonel and he settled in Meade County, Kentucky, which is on the western border of the state, below Louisville, on the Ohio River, the river separating it from Indiana; the county seat, Brandenburgh, was named in honor of this Colonel Solomon Brandenburgh. The son who accompanied the Refugee to America, was named Matthias Brandenburgh. I do not know who Matthias married, but he was killed on Stoner Creek in Clark county, Kentucky, whilst running his horse and was thrown – his head striking a tree – knocking the life out of him. There was very little intercourse or communication, so far as I have been told, between Colonel Solomon Brandenburgh and the Matthias Brandenburgh branch who had settled in the middle eastern region of the state, and the history of the families was not very well kept up with and consequently lost to the posterity. Samuel Brandenburgh, a grandson of the German Immigrant and Refugee, married Miss Sarah Hanson, related to General Roger Hanson, the exact degree of kinship to me I do not know. He settled, probably, in Owsley County, Kentucky, or in the region that later was embraced within the bounds thereof. John H. Brandenburgh, (great grandson of the Immigrant Refugee, and a son of Samuel Brandenburgh and wife, Miss Sarah Hanson), married Deborah Bowman, daughter of Elijah Bowman, son of Mr. Cornealous Bowman and wife Miss Elizabeth Gentry, the latter who was an inhabitant of the Fort at Boonesborough, Kentucky. They settled in Owsley County, Kentucky, their old home being cut off into the bounds of Lee County when established. Miss Elizabeth Gentry who married Mr. Cornealous Bowman, the mother of Elijah Bowman (whose wife's name was also "Elizabeth") and the grandmother of Miss Deborah Bowman, and my great grandmother, was an inhabitant of the Fort at Boonesborough, Kentucky, during the stormy period of the fort's existence, and was intimately acquainted with the way they lived and all about the fort life, knew the old pioneers, Daniel Boone, Squire Boone, Simon Kenton, Flanders Calloway, Thomas Brooks, Jesse Copher, their wives and children, and many others who were inhabitants and defenders of the fort, hunters and scouts, some of the sojourners and visitors, and could relate many thrilling incidents that occurred. She remembered the commotion that was created when Jemima Boone and Betty & Fannie Calloway were captured whilst canoeing in the river near the fort, and taken away by the Indians, and the rapid movement of Daniel Boone, Flanders Calloway and others getting ready to pursue the Indians, which they did with success and when they returned from the pursuit with the girls, she heard them tell how, when approaching near the vagabonds, they crept up close and took a view of the situation and formed their branches and then made a double quick rush -- with their flintlocks and hunting knives in trim -- and dispatched the savages, and safely secured the girls and returned with them to Boonesborough, and of the great rejoicing in the fort on their return with them and she heard the girls tell their experiences whilst in captivity; how they tore strips from their aprons and broke twigs from the bushes and scattered them along the way and made impressions with the ground with the heels of their shoes, that the pursuers might more easily follow the trail, they having faith that pursuit would soon follow, and when the guns fired, Jemima Boone, recognizing Daniel Boone's gun, remarked, "That's father's gun!" She could tell many occurrences around about and in the fort that were thrilling in the extreme, that I cannot remember. She told that once Daniel Boone was absent on a scout and every morning early was heard gobbling, thought to be that of a turkey gobbler, and when Daniel Boone returned, he was told of it and he remarked, "I'll get him in the morning, he'll help make a good dinner tomorrow". And bright and early the next morning Daniel Boone took his gun and hunting knife and went down near the sycamore tree where it was thought the gobbling came from and hid under the bank of the river not far from the tree, and soon he heard the gobbling and directly discovered that it was an Indian imitating a gobbler, and he fired, the gobbling ceased, and that Indian never gobbled again. She knew of the marriage of Flanders Calloway to Miss Jemima Boone, and of Betty Calloway to Sam Henderson, and she related that Reverend Joe Procter, the noted scout, would never say that he had killed an Indian, had a younger brother in the fort name Page Procter, and once when Joe was about to start on a scouting, young Procter then only about 16 years old, begged to go along, and he let him, and whilst out, and Indian got after Page -- with tomahawk drawn in an attitude to strike -- and was uncomfortably close to Page, who quickly skedaddled, when Joe fired nothing more was known of that Indian. Page returned to his brother rather nervous and somewhat excited, and thought he had a narrow escape with his life, and sometimes would tell the younger set of this experience. She also said she molded bullets for the defenders of the fort -- more especially when besieged by Indians, often with whites aiding them -- Simon Girty, the renegade, was there with them once, and Elizabeth told of biting off the necks of the bullets with her teeth till her lips would get too sore to do so. ________________________________________________________________________ Bio of John H. Brandenburgh II (Jr.) John H. Brandenburgh II (Jr.), the great-great-grandson of the German Immigrant and Refugee, son of John H. Brandenburgh and his wife Deborah Bowman, was named for his father. His mother, Deborah Bowman, was the daughter of Elijah Bowman, his grandfather, and Elijah’s mother was the Mrs. Bowman, who before her marriage was Miss Elizabeth Gentry, the identical woman described as being an inhabitant of Fort Boonesborough, who related the story above told. John H. Brandenburgh II (Jr.) was married twice; first to Margaret Evans, the mother of his children and second to Mrs. Mary Clark Botner, who was a widow with children. He is now a substantial and highly esteemed citizen and resident of Madison County, Kentucky, (the home of the fort his great grandmother, Elizabeth Gentry, once inhabited), who however, was born and reared in the region of the mountain section that formerly was Owsley County, but the home was clipped off into Lee County when formed. John Jr. Reared a large family of children – boys and girls – and accumulated competency and many years ago left his native haunts and located in Madison County, Kentucky. His children were all born in Lee County. John Jr. Can give an interesting history of his ancient forebears and of his own family, in which he takes pleasure and delight, and some of the tales of his own life and movements are quite interesting. John H. Brandenburgh, Jr., indeed, is very fond of company and enjoys good company as much as anyone and it is pleasant to be in his home and see the congeniality between him and his good wife and the other inmates of the home and listen to him relate some of his adventures and occurrences during his long life around in the region of his mountain home, when there were wild game in plenty, deer and wild turkey abounding, some bears and some wolves, and plenty of fishing and hear him relate some of his experiences whilst a soldier on the Federal side in the Civil War, and tell of the logging business which once flourished when the logs were moved to market in rafts down the Kentucky River, and was a source of considerable revenue to the mountaineers, and of the big sugar camps and the large quantities of maple and sugar tree sugar they could make and store up, the good times they would have at the stirring off, and the honey they would take and likewise save in great quantities, of which they would have an abundance of sweetening – the very best – without buying sugar from the merchant stores, he being of the number who performed this hard but enjoyable work. He has had many experiences of one sort or another and possesses a knack of telling them in good style. John Jr. Told the writer about a horn which he has in his possession and which he exhibited, saying he captured it in a colonel’s tent in a rebel camp on the top of Lookout Mountain. The horn has engraved on it "a pack of dogs (hounds) chasing a fox; also an American Eagle with his wings extended" and under it: "W.D. Bowden, 1863, Camp Starvation", and under this, "a stack of guns, and near, a dog sitting on his haunches, with a forlorn look, as if begging for something to eat". John H. Brandenburgh, Jr. Then described the ascent to the very crest of the mountain, thus: "They went up a ladder in the double of the cliff and proceeded with the double or bend – which was just wide enough for a man to walk – about 30 yards, when they reached a tall cedar tree, through which, some two or three feet apart, were bored holes through and through the body thereof, with a two-inch auger, and through these holes were driven strong wooden pegs, thus forming a very good ladder, which they scaled to the top of the cliff, and here they formed in line of battle and marched to the rebel camp which was found abandoned, and here in the tent, John said he captured the horn": John also said, "It has often been told that here was a battle above the clouds, but let me tell you, there was no fighting on the top of this mountain, for I was there and I know". John H. Brandenburgh, Jr. Also has in his possession yet thirteen pieces of gold and silver coins and a piece of cut money ˝ bit ($4.50 in gold, ˝ bit cut money, balance five cent silver pieces), which was paid to him by Colonel Albert A. Curtis, of Irvine, Kentucky, John’s first draw for his army services. Since coming to Madison County, John Jr. Has had many transactions with the people of the county and many dealing with them in many ways and they have always found him ‘Johnny at the spot’. When he first came to the county he had already purchased, before moving his family, a splendid farm on the Lancaster road between Silver and Paint Lick Creeks, about two miles from the former and a little more than that from the latter, upon which he settled and where he lived till he traded that farm to his sons and bought the splendid piece of land of more than 200 acres on the southeastern border of Richmond, Kentucky, on the Boggs Land – the old Joseph Boggs home, upon which is a magnificent brick residence that has the appearance of standing for centuries and here is where he finally located and now lives in comfort and ease so far as the necessaries and comforts of this life are concerned. He has accomplished well a wonderful work – starting with but little, rearing to maturity twelve highly respectable and well-to-do children, (thirteen having been born, one dying in infancy). Of the twelve remaining, nine are stalwart boys, all married and occupying homes to themselves, and three girls, all now grown and married and living with their husbands in homes of their own. All the children were born in the highlands of Kentucky where their parents were born and settled and accumulated the nice fortune. John Jr. Is a man who attends strictly to his own business, sacredly keeps his word, and his promises are as good as gold for the amount he promises; his children all seem to love him and they give heed to his advice and counsel, at the same time with him they joke and laugh, and they have much fun and enjoyment together. John Jr. Has number of grandchildren and some great grandchildren, leaving a record worthy of emulation, that his posterity should be proud of. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 21:46:19 EST From: BLTDEFORD@aol.com Subject: KFY: CEM: Ebenezer Cemetery - Thomplinsville, Monroe Co HALL Elizabeth 1845-1934 GGGrandmother Eliza L. 3/21/1868-5/271948 Arnold N. 3/28/1843-3/7/1921 GGGGrandfather M.P. 2/14/1853-6/25/1927 Prvt.

(there was a picture with this). VETERAN ENTERTAINERS GIVE 2 SHOWS IN BENEFIT for PATROLMAN'S WIDOW Around $3000 Is taken in by Merrill Mc cord It wasn't just another show. It was demonstration of man's love for others. A group of veteran Louisville entertainers joined the City policemen yesterday to help raise $3000 for the Widow of a City patrolman fatally injured last month. The patrolman, William L. Long, died October 4 from injuries received, a day earlier when a private automobile he was driving struck the rear of a truck. ARTCHER, BROOKS HEAD TROUPE A troupe headed by WHAS television stars Randy Atcher and Tom "Cactus" Brooks gave two benefit shows at the police Headquarters auditorium. Tickets to both were sold out in advance. Capt. William Bindner, head of the Traffic Bureau, said most of the tickets were purchased by members of the police Department. Additional donations from policemen. accounted for the total amount collected, he said It was the entertainers who suggested the benefit show. "We wanted to do something to help out," Atcher said. "we look on all members of the Police Department as our friends." Seated on the front row at the afternoon performance were Mrs. Long and her four children, Susan, 7, Judith, 4, William L., Jr., 3 and Linda L., 1. "Its hard to believe people can be so wonderful," Mrs. Long said. her eyes filling with tears (the original said ears) Police Chief Heustis also parsed the group of showmen. "What is so wonderful is that the only day in the week these guys have to themselves, they come down here to do this," he said. Other performers included national fiddling champion "Sleepy" Martin, songstress Judy Marshall, and the Hayloft Hoedowners, a square-dance group. Patrolman Long, on duty, was driving the car of off-duty Patrolman Raymond G. Stitch, whom he was taking home, when the accident occurred. Stitch died three days later. Mrs. Long who lives at 1327 E. Main, has been awarded a pension of $187.50 a month by the Louisville Police Pension Board.
