Historical Facts - Maria Margueretta Martini

  • Maria was the daughter of Marie "Petronille" (Hautefeuille) Martin and her first husband, Joseph Martin (sometimes spelled "Martini"), of London.

  • Marie's second husband, step-father to Maria, was Filippe Mazzei, a close friend and confidante of Thomas Jefferson.

  • Maria spent her teenage years growing up on Mazzei's estate "Colle" in Albemarle County, near Monticello.

  • Maria married Justin Pierre Plumard, Comte de Rieux, in Paris in 1780.

  • Maria & Just came to Virginia in 1783, by way of South Carolina, and settled at "Colle" for a time.

  • Evidently unsuccessful at farming, Justin and Maria ultimately made their home in Prince Edward County and found employment at teachining languages and music to the school-aged children of Virginia planter families.

  • The names and dates of birth of the eleven children of Justin and Maria Derieux are recorded in their family Bible, now in the manuscripts collection at the Virginia Historical Society.

  • A Richmond newspaper death notice for Mrs. Maria M. Derieux observed, "Died--yesterday (at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. John A. Lancaster), after a short but painful illness, Mrs. Maria M. Derieux. This lady was greatly admired by those who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, for her extensive literary acquirements. She resigned her soul to her God, with that exemplary Christian fortitude and resignation, which marks the demise of one who obeyed through life His Holy Law."

Historical Facts - Filippo Mazzei (Maria’s step father & not an ancestor)

  • An Italian physician, winemaker, and arms dealer.

  • A close friend of Thomas Jefferson, Mazzei acted as an agent to purchase arms for Virginia during the American Revolutionary War.

  • Many biographers believe Jefferson and George Washington had a falling out over a letter Jefferson sent to Mazzei in Italy, which called the Washington Administration "Anglican, monarchical, and aristocratical," and claimed that Washington had appointed as military officers "all timid men that prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty ... [I]t would give you a fever were I to name to you the apostates who have gone over to these heresies, men who were Samsons in the field and Solomons in the council, but who have had their heads shorn by the harlot England."

  • Mazzei was born Filippo Mazzei in Poggio a Caiano (Prato) in Tuscany.

  • Filippo studied medicine in Florence and practiced in Italy and the Middle East for several years before moving to London in 1755 to take up a mercantile career as an importer.

  • While in London he met the Americans Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia.

  • While doing work for Franklin, Mazzei shared his idea of importing Tuscan products, wine and olive trees, to the New World.

  • On September 2, 1773, Mazzei boarded a ship from Livorno to Virginia bringing with him plants, seeds, silkworms, and 10 farmers from Lucca.

  • While he visited Jefferson at his estate, the two became good friends and Jefferson gave Mazzei an allotment of land for an experimental plantation.

  • Mazzei purchased more land adjoining this gift of acreage and established a plantation he named Colle.

  • They shared an interest in politics and liberal values, and maintained an active correspondence for the rest of Mazzei's life.

  • In 1779 Mazzei returned to Italy as a secret agent for Virginia. He purchased and shipped arms to them until 1783. After briefly visiting the United States again in 1785, Mazzei travelled throughout Europe promoting republican ideals. He wrote a political history of the American Revolution, Recherches historiques et politiques sur les États-Unis de l'Amerique septentrionale, and published it in Paris in 1788. After its publication Mazzei became an unofficial roving ambassador in Europe for American ideas and institutions.

Historical Facts -

  • The chiefs of Clan Kincaid are said to be descended from several families including the ancient Earls of Lennox, the Galbraiths of Buthernock, the Grahames and also the Comyn Lords of Badenoch.

  • The name Kincaid appears to have been of territorial origin.

  • The Kincaid family increased their landholdings in the east of the country from the late sixteenth century onwards. This included the estate of Craiglockhart, near Edinburgh that the Kincaids gained from an adventurous marriage. They later also added the estate of Bantaskin near Falkirk, the Blackness Castle near Linlithgow and the fields of Warriston that is now a suburb of Edinburgh.

  • During the Scottish Civil War of the seventeenth century the Kincaids fought on the royalist side. The family suffered as a result of supporting the royalists and many of the name Kincaid emigrated to North America.

  • During the Jacobite rising of 1715 the Kincaids supported the exiled Stuarts and following the rising David Kincaid left Scotland and settled in Virginia.

  • During the Jacobite rising of 1745 four sons of Alexander Kincaid, who was Lord Provost of Edinburgh and the King's Printer, fought a rearguard action after the Battle of Culloden. They were taken prisoner but managed to escape, taking a ship to America, and also settling in Virginia.

  • Jacob Prillaman [Hans Jacob Brüllmann] was born around 1721 in Switzerland, most likely near Amriswil in the Canton of Thurgau. This area has the highest concentration of the Brüllmann surname and includes the nearby hamlets of Räuchlisberg and Zihlschlacht (today's Sitterdorf).

  • Jacob embarked on a journey to the colonies in the fall of 1747 on the ship Lydia. Before departure from Rotterdam, Jacob stated he was traveling from Lohn in the Canton of Schauffhausen, Switzerland with his wife and children and was headed for Philadelphia. The several months journey was difficult and it's likely these children did not survive the trip.

  • The ship had 201 Swiss emigrants onboard; 134 men and 61 women. After a stop in London, Captain William Tiffin brought the ship into the port of Philadelphia on Sept. 24th, 1747. While docked at the port, Jacob was not allowed to depart the ship unless he first signed the list of abjuration. All foreign males age sixteen and over were required by the Governor of the Colony of Pennsylvania to take an oath of allegiance to King George III of Great Britain, a requirement that remained in force until the end of the colonial period in 1776. Jacob is one of only 14 men from the Lydia who signed.

  • To pay for passage costs, around 45% of Palatine immigrants worked as indentured servants in their first years after arrival in the colonies. Further research may determine whether Jacob was required to do so. Early Maryland historical records indicate he farmed land in Lord Baltimore's Conococheague Manor around Williamsport and Hagerstown in the 1760's. Five children were born to Jacob and his wife Walburga while residing in the colony of Maryland; Jacob Jr., John, Daniel, Barbara and Anne.

  • By 1772, Jacob is a landowner and farmer at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along Daniel's Run in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. This farm later becomes part of first Henry County and finally Franklin County as boundaries change and new counties are formed in 18th century Virginia.

  • He was a Master Mariner with the Naval Service and had a brush with piracy near the Brewster Islands (just east of Boston).

King Philip’s War - The bloodiest in American history

  • King Philip's War, the excruciating racial war - colonists against Indians - that erupted in New England in 1675, was, in proportion to population, the bloodiest in American history.

  • Some even argued that the massacres and outrages on both sides were too horrific to "deserve the name of a war".

  • It all began when Philip (called Metacom by his own people), the leader of the Wampanoag Indians, led attacks against English towns in the colony of Plymouth.

  • The war spread quickly, pitting a loose confederation of Southeastern Algonquians against a coalition of English colonists.

  • While it raged, colonial armies pursued enemy Indians through the swamps and woods of New England, and Indians attacked English farms and towns from Narragansett Bay to the Connecticut River Valley.

  • Both sides, in fact, had pursued the war seemingly without restraint, killing women and children, torturing captives, and mutilating the dead.

  • In the space of little more than a year, 12 of the region's towns were destroyed and many more were damaged, the economy of Plymouth and Rhode Island Colonies was all but ruined and their population was decimated, losing one-tenth of all men available for military service.

  • More than half of New England's towns were attacked by Natives.

  • Hundreds of Wampanoags and their allies were publicly executed or enslaved, and the Wampanoags were left effectively landless.

  • The fighting ended after Philip was shot, quartered, and beheaded in August 1676.

  • The war's brutality compelled the colonists to defend themselves against accusations that they had become savages.

  • King Philip's War began the development of an independent American identity.

  • The New England colonists faced their enemies without support from any European government or military, and this began to give them a group identity separate and distinct from Britain.

Historical Facts - Roger Dyer was massacred by Indians

  • Among the earliest settlers in Pendleton County, WV, (then Augusta County, VA, and later Rockingham County) were Roger Dyer and his son, William b. 1732.

  • On Nov 5th, 1747, they bought land from Robert Green of Orange.

  • These men, with their families , settled on this land within the next year or so. It was the earliest settlement in that section of Augusta County, on the southernmost branch of the South Branch of the Potomac", and was called the "Dyer Settlement".

  • On 21 May 1755 John Patton, Jr. sold 210 acres of his land to Jacob Seybert.

  • The next year a fort was built on Jacob Seybert's land, which was the scene of a tragic massacre two years later, on 28 Apr 1758.

  • Since that time the "Dyer settlement" has been known as Fort Seybert, although there has been no fort there since the fort was burned immediately following the massacre.

  • Roger Dyer was massacred by the Indians; his son, William was shot by the Indians before the massacre, when he went out to hunt. Roger's daughter, Sarah Dyer Hawes, was taken captive by the Indians, and remained with them according to one tradition, for 7 years. Roger Dyer’s young son, James, then fourteen years old, was a captive with the Indians for over a year. A daughter Hannah Dyer Keister, is supposed to have hidden, with two small children, among some rocks a short distance below the fort , and made her escape. There was another daughter, Hester Dyer Patton, the wife of Matthew Patton, who either was not in the vicinity at the time, or escaped as others did.
