| 7218 | Olof Skötkonung (Old Icelandic: Óláfr sænski, Old Swedish: Olawær skotkonongær) was the son of Eric the Victorious and Sigrid the Haughty. He was born around 980 and he succeeded his father in 995. Etymology One of many explanations to his Swedish name Skötkonung is that it means "tributary king" and one English scholar speculates about a tributary relationship to the Danish king Sweyn Forkbeard, who was his stepfather.[1] This explanation is however highly speculative as it is not supported by any evidence or historical sources. Another possible explanation[citation needed] of the name "Skötkonung" is that it means "treasure king" and refer to the fact that he was the first Swedish king to stamp coins. [edit]Life Coin minted for Olof Skötkonung in Sigtuna Our knowledge of Olof is mostly based on Snorri Sturluson's and Adam of Bremen's accounts, which have been subject to criticism from source-critical scholars. But according to Adam of Bremen, Sweyn Forkbeard was forced to defend his Danish kingdom from attacks by Olof who claimed the Danish throne. The conflict was resolved by Sweyn's marriage with Olaf's mother and the two kings were thereafter allies. Also Snorri Sturluson describes Sweyn and Olof as equal allies when they defeated the Norwegian king Olav Tryggvason in the battle of Svolder 1000, and thereafter divided Norway between themselves. [edit]Viking expedition to Wendland In a Viking expedition to Wendland, he had captured Edla, the daughter of a Wendish chieftain, and she gave him the son Emund (who was to become king of Sweden), and the daughter Astrid -later wife of Olaf II of Norway. He later married Estrid of the Obotrites, and she bore him the son Anund Jacob and the daughter Ingegerd Olofsdotter. [edit]Alliance with Sweyn Forkbeard Olof is said to have preferred royal sports to war and therefore Sweyn Forkbeard retook Denmark, which Olof's father Eric had conquered.[2] Olof also lost the right to tribute which his predecessors had preserved in what is now Estonia and Latvia. In 1000, he allied with Sweyn Forkbeard, who was married to Olof's mother, and with the Norwegian Jarls Eric and Sven, against the Norwegian King Olaf Tryggvason. Olaf Tryggvason died in the Battle of Svolder and Olof gained a part of Trøndelag as well as modern Bohuslän.[3] [edit]Norwegian-Swedish War When the Norwegian kingdom was reestablished by Olaf II of Norway, a new war erupted between Norway and Sweden. Many men in both Sweden and Norway tried to reconcile the kings. In 1018, Olof's cousin, the earl of Västergötland, Ragnvald Ulfsson and the Norwegian king's emissaries Björn Stallare and Hjalti Skeggiason had arrived at the thing of Uppsala in an attempt to sway the Swedish king to accept peace and as a warrant marry his daughter Ingegerd Olofsdotter to the king of Norway. The Swedish king was greatly angered and threatened to banish Ragnvald from his kingdom, but Ragnvald was supported by his foster-father Thorgny Lawspeaker. Thorgny delivered a powerful speech in which he reminded the king of the great Viking expeditions in the East that predecessors such as Erik Eymundsson and Björn had undertaken, without having the hubris not to listen to their men's advice. Thorgny, himself, had taken part in many successful pillaging expeditions with Olof's father Eric the Victorious and even Eric had listened to his men. The present king wanted nothing but Norway, which no Swedish king before him had desired. This displeased the Swedish people, who were eager to follow the king on new ventures in the East to win back the kingdoms that paid tribute to his ancestors, but it was the wish of the people that the king make peace with the king of Norway and give him his daughter Ingegerd as queen. Thorgny finished his speech by saying: if you do not desire to do so, we shall assault you and kill you and not brook anymore of your warmongering and obstinacy. Our ancestors have done so, who at Mula thing threw five kings in a well, kings who were too arrogant as you are against us. However, Olof married his daughter Ingegerd-Irene to Yaroslav I the Wise instead. An impending war was settled when Olof agreed to share his power with his son Anund Jacob. Olof was also forced to accept a settlement with Olaf II of Norway at Kungahälla, who already had been married (unbeknownst to Olof) with Olof's daughter, Astrid, through the Geatish jarl Ragnvald Ulfsson. [edit]Christian King Olof was baptised, probably by the missionary Sigfrid, c.1008, and he was the first Swedish king to remain Christian until his death. However, according to Adam of Bremen, the fact that the vast majority of the Swedes were still pagan forced him to limit Christian activities to the already Christian border province of Västergötland. When he stamped coins in Sigtuna in the province of Uppland Olof used the word rex for king. OLUF REX as in the coin displayed above or OLAF REX. The use of Latin seems to suggest that he was already baptised at this time but on the other hand the coins were imitating English pennies in type and style. Sigtuna is written SITUN, ZINT (in the coin above), ZTNETEI, or SIDEI. The two last has been deciphered as Si(gtuna) Dei meaning God's Sigtuna.[4][5] [edit]Óláfsdrápa sœnska The Icelandic skald Óttarr svarti spent some time at Olof's court and composed the poem Óláfsdrápa sœnska describing Olof's war expeditions in the east. Other skalds who served Olof were Gunnlaugr ormstunga, Hrafn Önundarson and Gizurr svarti. [edit]Death The alleged Olaf Grave at Husaby Church His death is said to have taken place in the winter of 1021-1022. According to a legend he was martyred at Stockholm after refusing to sacrifice to pagan gods. He's venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Since the 1740s, it has been claimed that he was buried in Husaby in the Christian part of his kingdom, but it should be noted that such identifications are speculation, and by no means uncontroversial. The remains in the alleged grave are also too young to be his. | Skötkonung, Olof (I15914)

| 7221 | On the morning of June 27, 1864, the men of McCook's Brigade found themselves across from Cheatham Hill on Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. The five Union Regiments of McCook's Brigade were formed in line of battle, one regiment stacked behind the other, the 86th Illinois third in line. It was hoped that this formation would allow the Union Brigade to punch a hole in the Confederate line, each regiment giving some protection to the regiment in back of it. When the signal gun fired, the men of the brigade stepped off and moved down a hill, crossed a small stream and then moved through a wheat field before beginning the climb up Cheatham Hill and the Confederate breastworks toward an angle in the Confederate line that was soon to be called "The Dead Angle." The following assault, which proved to be only partially successful, lasted less than 30 minutes. On the evening of June 27, 1864, Sgt. Levi A. Ross, a member of Co. K of the 86th, wrote the following of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. "Our forces rushed upon the rebels five lines deep and in fifteen minutes were hurled back, by them, leaving 2500 brave Union Soldiers dead within twenty feet of the Enemy's works. The loss in the 86th was 106 -- in our Brig. over 400." As the men of McCook's Brigade fell back from the Confederate fortifications, they were forced to leave most of their dead and wounded behind. These bodies laid between the lines until the 29th when a truce was called so the Union could bury it's dead because the smell from the decomposing bodies became so horrible, that neither side could stand it any longer. Company G of the 86th had two men killed and eight men wounded during this 30 minute assault. Privates James Small & Amos Shreve were the two Co. G men killed. Their bodies were initially buried there on the field of battle. On June 30, 1864, as the men of the 86th lay in the trenches not far from the Confederate lines, George W. Ferner, a Private in Co. G of the 86th, wrote the following in a letter home. "Our front lines of breast works is not more than 25 steps from the rebels, they are continually firing at each other, if one stands exposed or shows his head above the works he is sure to be shot at. Well, I must give you the number or loss in the fight that is reported at present. There were 480 killed, wounded and missing in our Bri. 98 in our Reg. and some 15 or twenty that are still able for duty. I got a slight wound in the little finger of the left hand. I will remain with the Co. We had two killed and four wounded in our Co. James Small, Amos Shreive killed. Both from Deer Creek. Geo. Holmes one thumb shot off and severely wounded in the hip. Milton Cloud shot in both legs, Will Criswell thumb shot off and slightly in the side. James Roberts in the head. L. S. North slightly in the face and ear. James Trowbridge slightly in the eye. Madison Corbin slightly in the thumb......" | Cloud, Milton Homer (I16518)

| 7227 | Oral History: Andrew McEver supposely went to Augusta, GA and purchased two slaves. One of the slaves was Leethy, Joseph McEver, son of Andrew McEver, took for his wife. Since it was . illegal in those days for a black and white to marry, he purchased her from his father for 99 years. That was his way of marrying her. The following story appeared in the last issue of "THE GOOD LIFE", A small local paper publilshed in August of 2008. Article written by CHARLOTTE COLLINS BOND. When I entered the house I was greeted by grieving family and friends. I quickly scanned the room, and then I saw it. In the corner of the room was the empty chair. In my mind's eye, I could see him sitting there with a big smile on his face and his arms outstretched, beckoning me to take his hands. That's the way it had ben for years. And then, the non-stop conversation began. He had so much to tell me, and I was thirsty to hear every word. That sharp mind of his could fill volumes of history books, and he loved telling the stories.....and I loved asking all the questions. My goal was to find the "rest of the story" that had been related to me many years before. All I had been told were bits and pieces which I had recorded, but the core of the story was still missing, I just knew the Mr. Calvin had the answer I was searching for....and he did. I first met Mr. Calvin McWhorter, a black man, when my mail route had been expanded to take in his community. One day he met me at his mail box and he asked me who I was. I told him my parents were George and Ruth Collins, and he immediately asked me it I knew Charlie Collins and his daddy, Old man Nelse [Nelson] Collins. Oh, how he laughed when I told him they were my grandfather and great-frandfather. He started telling me how his mother used to carry him to their house when he was a small boy and how Mr. Charlie's two oldest girls gor Old Man Nelse's peg leg and chased him with it. Nelson had lost his leg in an accident and wore a prosthesis to church and business affairs, but usually at home, he wore his wooden peg leg. My car was about to run hot, and I had just begun my mail route, so I had to draw that conversation to a close. But I knew I had found a gold mine and a welth of oral history, and I had a million questions for him. The years flew by so quickly that I never satisfied my curiosity completely, but each time I visited with him I always learned new things; some about his family, same about my family, and some about our family. It was a long journey to the truth, but the trip was well worth the time. One of the first things I asked Mr. Calvin was if he ever knew a man named Green McEver. "Why shore I did! He raised my daddy." Then he explained that his father's parents died when he was around four years old of a fever that was raging in the area, and he thought his grandmother's name was Mary, and she married a McWhorter. "But why did Green raise your father?", I asked. He thought about it a while and then said "I think Green was my grandma's brother. I ran home and pulled out my McEver records and located my fifth great-grandfather's inventory records dated October 7, 1863. And there it was! The slaves listed were; Negro woman Leethy, boy Green; woman Lucy and Mary. When I checked the census records, Green, Lucy, and Mary were listed as mulatto...mixed color. I was curious about the name Green McEver because I heard it repeatedly during my childhood at family reunions. When I asked about the curious name, I was hushed up, and the talking stopped. I was told later that that there was a McEver cemetery across the highway where whites and black familes were buried together; slaves and slave owners. But I was never told that Andrew McEver was my grandmother's great grandfather. Some of the things the lady from Atlanta told me were that "Grandpa" had a son that took one of his slaves and raised chldren by her. During the Civil War, Grandpa sent one of his slaves to stay with EklmiraLater, as an adult, when I went to family reunions, I carried a legal pad and pen and sat down with any and all of the older relatives I could. I picked their brains about their memories of growing up here in Madison county. It paid off in many ways, bus one, especially. A lady from "Atlanta told me of visiting her grandmother (who, by the way, was my grandmother's mother) when she was just a child, and a little black lady was there visiting. She remembered some of their conversation, and I recorded the bits and pieces of stories and the names that were mentioned. This was the start of my serious genealogy searches. It was over 40 years of futility until I met Mr. Calvin. Some of the things the lady from Atlanta told me were that "Grandpa" had a son that took one of his slaves and raised children by her. During the Civil War, Grandpa sent one of his slaves to stay with Elmira [Fortson-Beard (my great-grandmother)] to help her with the birth of her baby, to help protect her, and to hide the cattle in the woods when the yankees came through". As it turns out, the slave was Leethy McEver, "Wife" of Joseph, son of Andrew McEver. Elmira was the daughter-in-law of Margaret McEver Beard, sister of Joseph. Did I lose you there? It was Leethy, the slave, the "aunt" of Elmira Beard, who was sitting on the front porch of Elmira's youngest son, Ben Beard, reminiscing with each other about the old days during the Civil War. It took many years to pull all the pieces together to get to that truth. I was hesitant to mention these things to Mr. Calvin. I didn's know how he would react to the things I was turning up. One day, at the end of one of our "Sessions" under the car port, I looked up at him and said, "Mr. Calvin, it looks pretty much like we're going to be cousins." He looked up at me and leaned over and whispered, "Well now missie, you done been the one asking. " And then he let out a roar of laughter....and so ddi I. There were still a lot of pieces missing to prove my suppositions to be accurate, I was in the Madison courthouse one day looking through the deeds of another family when in the index I waw the name McEver. I quickly turned to the page, excited that I had found more information on my familyu. Well, it wasn't e4xactly my family. It was a deed from Mary McWhorter to her brother, Green McEver, giving him 51 acfes of land amd much, much more with the promise that her brother pay all her debts and raise her four-year-old son, Walt amcWhorter to the age of 231, It was recorded February 6, 1889. Mr. Calvin was right, Mary MNcEver was his grandmother. While I was in the court house, I went a step further, I looked at the marriage books. Mary McEver married Alex McWhorter on September 19, 1880. What was interesting was there was no "C" by their names to indicate that thay were colored. Next, I looked for Lucy, Mary's sister's records. She married David Clements October 14, 1889. There was a "C" beside their names. Then I looked for Green's records. He married Melinda Bragg October 16, 1881. There was no "C" by their names. I asked Calvin for the names of all his ancestors he could remember, and I promised I would look for their records. There were more surprises to be found. I won't go into detail, but two more generations back, were also listed as white. I felt sufficiently satisfied that I had completed my quest, and I wrote it up and carried it over to him. He asked me to read it to him, and I did. When it came to the union of Joseph and Leethy, I thought it prudent to say that we knew they weren't married. He just took advantage of the young slave girl, and she bore him children. To my surprise, Mr. Calvin corrected me. He told me I had stirred up memories in his mind that he would have never thought of again hed it not been for all my questioning. "Now, I'm going to tell you what they told me." I was stunned! He said, "You know that it was against the law for a white man to marry a black woman. Well, they did lover each other and he made up a way for them to be able to live together as man and wife. He gave her a document hiring her for 99 years to live in his home and keep house for him. That was their way of getting married. Lessons I have learned? One, not to make assumptions; two, not to make judgments; three, never give up, and go to any length to seek the truth. You may disagree and that's fine, but I believer God meant for me to find all these truths. Look how many generations kept the secret. If the truth had come out back then, I'm sure lives would have been in danger. The way I look at ii is, had I not been a seeker, I would have never found Mr. Calvin, and what a loss that would have been for me. He taught me so much. Color doesn't make a person. Love does. Speaking of love, it was Calvin's love for his wife that held him in that chair for so many years. She lay in a hospital bed in the living foom for years in a comatose state, which required that she have constrant care. Their children, Lanita, Hilda, and Henry shared the responsibilithy of seeing after their parents. They did it with such love, I could actually feel the presence of God in the room when I visited. Through the years I continued to visit with Mr. Calvin and the family. He liked to read my Good Life stories, so I delivered them each month along with enough to be carried to 'Tabor's Chapel, their church. On his 98th birthday, I gave him $100. I told him it was a dollar for each year ofl his life, and now he owed me two more years of his stories. He looked at me and laughed as he said he would try, but that it was up to God. One day, Lanita and Hilda brought Mr. Calvin to my house to visit. They said he just wanted to see how much the house had changed since he was a boy. The girls came in, but he said he would just sit in the car. I took them upstairs and the minute they saw the log cabin rooms, they said we have to go get Dad and help him up here. They helped him climb the stairs, and the expression on his face is forever etched in my mind. His mouth fell open in astonishment. You could tell the years rolled away as he was looking at the old things that were familiar to him as a child. I reminded him that our common ancestor, Andrew McEver, was the man who built the cabin around 1808. He seemed to just drink in the history of the house as if it had been a part of his own life. His health was already starting to fail so it wasn't surprising when Lanita came by soon after that to let me know her Dad was in the hospital in Royston. I quickly dressed and drove to the hospital. He held his hands out to me and I took them and then handed him some candy I had grabbed as I was leaving out the door. From that time on, he really started going down hill, and each time I would visit he would say "I'm still trying to hang on for you; I still owe you a dollar," and we would laugh. The last two times I visited him he did't want to turn my hands loose, and when he looked up at me the tears were falling. He told me he didn't think he would make it to 100. He will celebrate that birthday in heaven this year with his Lord and his family that preceded him. I can just hear him, still telling; his stories, I will forever miss him and am thankful to God that He led me to him and to the conclusion of our family history. No one will ever be able to fill that empty chair the way he did. I will forever miss, Mr. Calvin, Shiloh misses you too! | McEver, Leethy (I21426)

| 7230 | Ordoño I (821 - 27 May 866) was King of Asturias from 850 until his death. He was born in Oviedo, where he spent his early life in the court of Alfonso II. He was probably associated with the crown from an early age. When just nine years old, he moved to Lugo, capital of the province of Galicia, of which his father, Ramiro, had been named governor. There he was educated, including in the military arts. Ordoño was named governor of Galicia when his father went to Vardulia to marry Paterna (his second wife). Whilst away, Alfonso died, and Ramiro was proclaimed king. However, with Ramiro still away, the impatient nobles elected Count Nepocian in opposition. Ordoño immediately began to raise an army to assist his father in putting down the usurper. He could not leave his post in Galicia to help, however, and his army went unused. When his father finally prevailed, he confirmed Ordoño in his heretofore provisional position. In 847, at the age of 26, Ordoño married Muniadona, probably a sister of the count of Bierzo. She bore him six children, including his successor, Alfonso III. On January 1, 850, Ordoño succeeded his father as king. As he was his father's heir, he was the first king of Asturias to ascend the throne without election. His first confrontation was with the Basques, who rebelled with the support of the Banu Qasi of Zaragoza. While returning to Oviedo after defeating the rebels, he received news of an impending Moorish assault on Vardulias. Before the Moors could attack, he met them near the Ebro and defeated them. These victories meant little in the long run, for the governor of Zaragoza, Musa ibn Musa fortified the city of Albaida (Albelda). In 859, Ordoño defeated him at Albelda and besieged and razed the city. He supported the mozarab rebels, which cost him at Guadacelete in 854. But this fiasco only incited him to consolidate the "Desert of the Duero", the depopulated region between the Asturian cordillera and the river Duero. He directed the repoblación of the towns of León and Talamanka, Astorga, Tui, and Amaya. He intended to advance against the governor of Tudela and thus control all access to the Navarre and the Basque Country, but the Emirate of Córdoba responded with the invasion and sacking of Álava. At Bureba, the Arabs defeated Rodrigo, first count of Castile, and set back the Reconquista for years.

| 7231 | Ordoño II (c. 873-924, León) was king of Galicia from 910, and king of Galicia and León from 914 until his death. He was the second son of King Alfonso III the Great and his wife, Jimena of Pamplona. His father sent him to Zaragoza to be educated in the court of the Banu Qasi. Upon Alfonso's death in 910, the kingdom was divided between his three sons; León went to García, Galicia to Ordoño, and Asturias to Fruela. Asturian primacy was nevertheless recognised, though Ordoño was of a harder temperament than his brothers. Upon García's death in Zamora in 914, Ordoño succeeded him to the throne of the León. Ordoño continued thereafter the expansion of the Christian polity of his forefathers on two fronts. In his south-western territiories, he sacked Mérida and Évora and forced the Muslim governor of the region to buy his retreat. In his eastern territories, he united with Sancho I Garcés, king of Navarre, against the emir of Córdoba, Abd-ar-Rahman III. The Moors were put to rout at San Esteban de Gormaz (917). Arnedo and Calahorra were taken the next year from the Banu Qasi. The reaction of Abd-ar-rahman, however, was severe. In 920, he put to march an army to recover Osma and San Esteban de Gormaz. He crossed into Navarre and defeated the Christians at Valdejunquera and took the bishops of Tui and Salamanca captive. Though intending to crush Pamplona itself, he turned around to deal with his immense booty. Ordoño II-who had come at King Sancho's request-attributed the loss to the absence of the counts of Castile, who had not come at his call. He brought them together at Tejares and had them killed. The Christian counteroffensive was immediate, occupying La Rioja and incorporating into Navarre Nájera and Viguera. He suffered frequent raids into his territory from the armies of Abd-ar-Rahman III and he confronted the Castilians who were aspiring to foment revolt in León. Ordoño married three times. His first wife, and the mother of his children, was Elvira Menendez, daughter of count Hermengildo Gutierrez and aunt of San Rosendo. He then married Aragonta Gonzalez, daughter of count Gonzalo Betotez. He set her aside because "she was not pleasing to him". And when he formed a political alliance with Sancho I of Pamplona, he was married to that king's daughter, Sancha. He died in 924 leaving young children, and was succeeded by his eldest surviving brother, Fruela, the king of Asturias, thereby reuniting their father's patrimony. | León, King of Galicia Ordoño II of (I37409)

| 7232 | Ordoño III (c. 926 - 956) was the King of León from 951 to 956, son and successor of Ramiro II (931-951).[1] He confronted Navarre and Castile, who supported his half-brother Sancho the Fat in disputing Ordoño's claim to the throne. He also had to deal with internal rebellion, attacks from the Moors of al-Andalus, and the rebellion of Galicia. In response to the Muslims, Ordoño III sent troops as far as Lisbon (955). Before this great show of force, the Muslims had nothing to do but ask for peace. Negotiations ended with a treaty between the king of León and the caliph of Córdoba Abd al-Rahman III (912-961). He tried to continue the actions of his father in fortifying the land and the royal authority in the face of the contumacious and secessional Fernán González of Castile. He even married Fernán's daughter Urraca and later repudiated her over her father's alliance with Sancho. Urraca bore him at least two children: a son named Ordoño who died young and a daughter named Theresa who became a nun. Ordoño III was also father of Bermudo II, but opinion is divided as to whether he was son of Urraca, or of a mistress, one of the daughters of Count Pelayo Gonzalez. Ordoño III died at Zamora in 956. | León, King of León Ordoño III of (I37407)
