| 4624 | Jonathan N. Hawkins is one of the honored pioneers of Eaton county, which has been his home from his boyhood days, and he was one of those loyal young men who represented this county as a gallant soldier in the war of the Rebellion. He is the owner of a valuable farm, in section 15, Vermontville township, and is a citizen of worth and prominence. Mr. Hawkins was born in Perry township, Lake county, Ohio, September 16, 1839, being a son of Moses L. and Elizabeth (Owens) Hawkins....... Jonathan N. Hawkins was about nine years of age at the time of his parents' removal to Eaton county, and he was reared to the sturdy discipline of the pioneer farm. After duly availing himself of the advantages of the district school he entered Olivet College, where he remained until his intrinsic loyalty and patriotism led him to go forth in defense of the Union, whose integrity was in jeopardy through armed rebellion. Concerning his war record quotation is made, with slight metaphrase, from an article published in an Eaton county newspaper a few years ago: The common schools afforded Mr. Hawkins means for acquiring a practical fundamental education, and these advantages were wisely employed. Not content with the knowledge thus gained, young Hawkins entered Olivet College, where he was just nicely settled down to business, in the middle of his second term, when the war of the Rebellion began. He left his pleasant, peaceful surroundings to face the stern realities of war. He served more than four years in Company H, Sixth Michigan Volunteer Infantry, later known as the First Michigan Heavy Artillery, having enlisted August 20, 1861. He was in the expedition from Baltimore, Maryland, to the eastern part of Virginia, but saw no very exciting times, as the rebels had at the approach of the Union forces, being careful not to be drawn into an engagement. The command returned to Baltimore and thence went to Newport News, where it joined General Benjamin F. Butler's expedition to New Orleans. Mr. Hawkins was first under fire while passing Hampton Roads in the Constitution, the largest United States naval vessel. He went to Ship Island, where he lived on sandy victuals and where he found alligators as plentiful as sheep in a barnyard. From Ship Island he went to New Orleans on the Great Republic, the largest sailing vessel then owned by the federal government. The trip lasted forty-one days, and so very impure was the supply of water for drinking purposes that scurvy became prevalent on the vessel. For some time Mr. Hawkins was stationed at Camp Morse, or, as it was appropriately named by the boys, Camp Death. He was in the engagement at Baton Rouge and was also a participant in the siege of Port Hudson, after which he was in the famouse gunboat cotton expedition and in two expeditions to Ponchatoula. He was on the ill-fated Clara Belle when that vessel burned on the Mississippi river. These trips on river transports were not less dangerous than the hottest battles, as the boys were liable to be picked off at any time. Mr. Hawkins enlisted as a private and was successively promoted corporal sergeant and sergeant major. After two and one-half years service he re-enlisted, as a veteran, February 25, 1864, having received his discharge from his original term of enlistment on the preceding day. He was granted a furlough, which he passed at home, and at this time he made two of the happiest hits of his life, taking unto himself a wife and with his veteran money buying a farm for six dollars and a quarter per acre, land which was worth twenty dollars an acre two years later. He continued in active service with his command until the close of the war, when he returned to Eaton county and began the work of clearing and otherwise improving his farm, which comprised one hundred and twenty acres, in Vermontville township. About twenty acres had been chopped over, and he erected a log house on the place, continuing there to make his home until 1871, when he traded a portion of the land for an improved farm of forty acres, farther south in the same township. A few years later he traded this place for his present fine homestead, in section 15, the same comprising one hundred and twenty acres of fine land, and he also owns eighty acres one mile northeast of the home place. For several years after coming into possession of his present homestead Mr. Hawkins and his family resided in a frame house which still stands on the opposite side of the road from his present residence. In 1885 he erected his commodious and attractive brick house, which is one of the fine homes of this township, and he has also built good barns and other farm buildings. His place is a model one and he is known as one of the thrifty and progressive farmers and reliable business men of his township, while to him is accorded the most unstinted popular confidence and esteem in the community. He has never been a seeker of office, but he has not been permitted to withhold his valuable services in such capacities. He served two years as supervisor of his township, was highway commissioner four years, and for many years held the office of justice of the peace and also that of school director. He is a stalwart in the local camp of the Republican party, is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and both he and his wife hold membership in the Congregational church. In the village of Vermontville, April 25, 1864, Mr. Hawkins was united in marriage to Miss Hannah P. Sprague, who was born in Vermontville township, April 3, 1842, being a daughter of Philetus and Teresa (Whitmore) Sprague..... In conclusion is incorporated a record concerning the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins....... | Hawkins, Jonathan N (I19498)

| 4645 | Joshiah H Hicks (Uncle Joe, as he was familiarly called) was a native of Richmond, Virginia. He married Drucilla Medow, also a Richmond native. They came to Missouri in 1868 and settled in Howard County, later moving to Chariton County, where they settled on a farm in Musselfork township. Josiah was an overseer of slaves and saw that they were properly cared for. He never enlisted in the Army during the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the south and many a sick and weary Confederate soldier found refuge in his home. He was a Democrat, a member of the Baptist Church and belonged to the Masonic Lodge. Drucilla died in 1884. | Hicks, Josiah H (I6671)

| 4649 | Judicael alias Berengar was Count of Rennes in the mid-to-late 10th century. There are conflicting accounts of his parentage, one popular solution making him son and successor to a count Berenger (sometimes identified with Berengar of Rennes, sometimes with that man's supposed maternal grandson of the same name) by a daughter of Gurvand, Duke of Brittany. However, an 11th century collection of Angevin genealogies shows him to be son of Pascweten, son of Alan I, King of Brittany. He is first documented as count in 944. He witnessed charters of Alan II, Duke of Brittany, and on the latter's death apparently fell under the control of Wicohen, Archbishop of Dol, later sources reporting the rescue of Judicael and his (unnamed) wife by son Conan. He appears to have been dead by 979, when his son was at the court of Odo I, Count of Blois. | Berengar, Judicael (I37298)

| 4650 | Judith was born in 1033 in Bruges, the only child of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders by his second wife, Eleanor of Normandy, who was herself, the daughter of Richard II of Normandy and Judith of Brittany. Judith had an older half-brother, Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, who succeeded their father upon his death which had occurred when Judith was about two years old. Judith's niece was Matilda of Flanders who married William, the first Norman king of England, known to history as "William the Conqueror". King William was Judith's first cousin, being the son of her maternal uncle, Robert of Normandy. First Marriage: On an unknown date before September 1051, she married her first husband, Tostig Godwinson, brother of King Harold II of England. In September 1051, Judith was forced to flee England for Bruges, along with her husband and in-laws after Tostig joined his father's armed rebellion against King Edward the Confessor; however, they returned home the following year. He was created Earl of Northumbria in 1055, making Judith the Countess of Northumbria, from that date onwards. His distinguished marriage to Judith had helped Tostig secure the earldom. Together they had children whose names and numbers are not recorded. They were described in the Vita Edwardi Regis as "unweaned" at the time of their father's death. Tostig had at least three illegitimate sons by unknown mistresses. Judith was described as having been a "pious and inquisitive woman"; her piety was expressed in the many gifts and donations she made to the Church of St. Cuthbert in Durham, which included landed estates and an ornate crucifix. The latter allegedly was a present to appease the saint after she challenged St. Cuthbert's ruling that forbade women to enter the cathedral which housed his relics. Judith, angered that women were not permitted to set foot inside the church and wishing to worship at his tomb, had decided to put Cuthbert's prohibition to the test by ordering her serving woman to go inside to see what repercussions would follow for breaking the holy decree (Judith had planned to go herself upon the latter's safe return); when the woman was about to enter the churchyard, she was stricken by a sudden, violent force of wind that left her infirm and eventually killed her. Judith, as a result of superstitious fear, had the crucifix especially made for St. Cuthbert's shrine. Throughout her life, she collected and commissioned many books and illuminated manuscripts, some of which are extant, including the Gospels of Countess Judith, which are currently housed in Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City. These were written and illuminated by English scribes and artists to record for posterity, Judith's generosity to the Church. In October 1065, Northumbria rose in rebellion against the rule of Tostig. After his brother Harold persuaded King Edward to accept the demands made by the rebels, there was an acrimonious confrontation between the two brothers, with Tostig accusing Harold of fomenting the rebellion. In November, Tostig was outlawed by King Edward, and Judith, along with Tostig and her children, was compelled to seek refuge with her half-brother in Flanders the following month. Count Baldwin appointed Tostig as castellan of Saint-Omer. In May 1066 following the succession of Harold to the English throne in January, he returned to England with a fleet provided by Baldwin to seek revenge on his brother. He formed an alliance with King Harold III of Norway, but they were both killed on 25 September 1066 at the Battle of Stamford Bridge by the forces of King Harold. After her husband's death at Stamford Bridge, Judith moved to Denmark. It is presumed that she brought her "unweaned" children with her to Denmark; however, nothing is known of their subsequent fates. Less than a month after Tostig's death, Judith's brother-in-law was killed at the Battle of Hastings by the Norman army led by her cousin, William the Conqueror, who would thereafter reign as William I of England. Second marriage: In 1071, when she was 38 years of age, she married her second husband, Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, who had divorced his childless wife, Etherinde von Northeim in 1070. Upon her marriage, she became Duchess of Bavaria; however in 1077, her husband was deprived of his title, and did not regain it until 1096, two years after her death. They made their principal home at the castle of Ravensburg and together had two sons, and one daughter: Welf II, Duke of Bavaria (1073 - 24 September 1120), married Matilda of Tuscany, but the marriage did not produce issue. Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria (1074 - 13 December 1126), married Wulfhild of Saxony, by whom he had seven children. Kunizza of Bavaria (died 6 March 1120), married Frederich Rocho, Count of Diesen Death: Judith died on 5 March 1094 and was buried at St. Martin Monastery, the Benedictine abbey which had been built by Duke Welf on the Martinsberg in Weingarten, and had received Judith's patronage. She also had bequeathed her magnificent library and a relic of Christ's Blood to the abbey. The Chronicon of Bernold recorded the death "1094 1V Non Mar of Iuditha uxor ducis Welfonis Baioariae" and her subsequent burial. Her husband Duke Welf died in 1101 in Cyprus while returning home from the First Crusade. In fiction: Judith appears as a character in Jean Plaidy's historical romance The Bastard King; however, she is incorrectly portrayed as Matilda of Flanders' sister. | Flanders, Judith of (I37134)
