Happy Birthday JEB Stuart

Interesting thing: Stuarts have a unique genetic marker, found for the Scottish king's (Robert III) great grandson. Also the Rh Negative factor is found in the line. Mary was really Queen, but she had her head lopped off. Kind of symbolic of the co-opting of our culture...or the co-opting of our culture is what is symbolic of the killing of our ancestors, killed again via killing their memory in erasing history. Happy Bday Mr. Stuart.

J.E.B. Stuart did have a tank named after him, the WW2-era M3/M5 Stuart light tank.

It's better to observe J.E.B. Stuart's birthday than the bad actor Ronnie Reagan's. Reagan isn't fit to shine Stuart's boots.

Reagan's best acting was during the Iran-Contra hearings, lol.

Sometimes overlooked is that Stuart, as a 2nd lieutenant, was part of the detachment of troops commanded by Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee that apprehended the demented, murderous race-traitor John Brown at Harpers Ferry in 1859.
In fact it was Stuart, as Lee's aide-de-camp, who personally delivered Lee's ultimatum to the ur-Bolshevik Brown.

John Brown was insane and a terrorist. Irony in the fact that the first killed by Brown at Harper's Ferry was black. Had they rightfully prosecuted the New Englanders like Higginson , Alcott and Emerson who financed all those pikes he had stashed in Maryland maybe the Civil War would've been averted.

JAMES EWELL BROWN STUART was born in Patrick County, Virginia, on the 6th of February, 1833.
His ancestry is traced on his father's side to Archibald Stuart, a native of Londonderry, Ireland, but of Scotch-Presbyterian parentage, who, about the year 1726, was compelled by religious persecution to fly from his native country. He found refuge in western Pennsylvania, where he remained in seclusion for seven years. At the expiration of this period the passage of an act of amnesty rendered it safe for him to disclose his hiding-place, and his wife and children joined him in his new home. About the year 1738 he removed from Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Va., where he acquired large landed estates, which, either during his lifetime or by will, he divided among his four children. His second son and third child, Major Alexander Stuart, was early in the Revolutionary War commissioned as major in Colonel Samuel McDowell's regiment, in which he served throughout the war. During Colonel McDowell's illness he commanded the regiment at the battle of Guilford Court House. Two horses were killed under him in this action, and he himself, dangerously wounded, was left upon the field and fell into the hands of the enemy. He was subsequently exchanged, and his sword was returned to him. This valued relic is now in the possession of his grandson, the Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart, of Virginia. Major Stuart was a warm friend of education, and aided liberally in the endowment of the school which afterwards expanded into Washington College, and is now known as Washington and Lee University. He was a man of large stature and uncommon intelligence. He died at the advanced age of ninety years. The Hon. Archibald Stuart, of Patrick County, Va., the eldest son of Judge Alexander Stuart and the father of General J. E. B. Stuart, was an officer in the United States Army in the War of 1812. He embraced the profession of law. Throughout his long and eventful life he was actively engaged in the practice of his profession and in political life. He represented, first, the county of Campbell in the Virginia Legislature, and was repeatedly elected to both branches of that body from the county of Patrick. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829-30, and of the Convention of 1850. In this latter body, he and the Hon. Henry A. Wise were two of the four members residing east of the Blue Ridge who advocated a "white basis" of representation for the State. He represented the Patrick district in the Federal Congress during the Nullification agitation, and was a strong supporter of Mr. Calhoun in that crisis. He is represented as a man of splendid talents and wonderful versatility. "A powerful orator and advocate, he charmed the multitude on the hustings, and convinced juries and courts. In addition to these gifts, he was one of the most charming social companions the State ever produced. Possessing wonderful wit and humor, combined with rare gift for song, he at once became the centre of attraction at every social gathering. Among the people of the counties where he practised his name is held in great respect, and his memory is cherished with an affection rarely equalled in the history of any public man." He married Elizabeth Letcher Pannill, of Pittsylvania County, Va., by whom he had four sons and six daughters. Among these, James E. B. Stuart was the seventh child and youngest son. On his mother's side the ancestry of General Stuart is not less distinguished. Giles Letcher was descended from ancient Welsh families-- the Hughses, Gileses, and Leches. He was born in Ireland, to which country one of his ancestors had removed from Wales during the reign of Charles the Second. He emigrated to the New World before the Revolutionary War, and was married in Richmond, Va., to Miss Hannah Hughes, a lady of fortune and o[ Welsh extraction. He settled in Goochland County, Va. He had four sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Stephen Letcher, was the father of Governor Robert P. Letcher, of Kentucky. His third son, John Letcher, married the daughter of the Hon. Sam Houston, of Texas, and was the father of Governor John Letcher, of Virginia. His second son, William Letcher, removed to Pittsylvania County, Va., where he married Elizabeth Perkins, daughter of Nicholas Perkins, who owned a considerable estate upon the Dan River. He finally settled in Patrick County, on the Ararat, a small stream which rises in the Blue Ridge and empties into the Yadkin River in North Carolina. |
