Hildene and the Robert Todd Lincoln family

Hildene

Hildene - Historic Home of Robert Todd Lincoln in Manchester, Vermont

The PBS special, "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided" has renewed a lot of interest in the Lincoln's and their kin. The beautiful Hildene, the home of Abraham and Mary's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, is a good place to start. Hildene is remarkably reminescent of the ancient home of Landon Carter, Sabine Hall (pictured below), located on Virginia's Northern Neck...which also shares Lincoln/Todd roots. (See post below)


Sabine Hall

Robert Todd Lincoln & the Lincoln Family

Robert Todd Lincoln, the only son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to maturity, married Mary Harlan, the 22 year old daughter of a U.S. Senator from Iowa. They had three children - Mary, Abraham II and Jessie. Abraham II, their only son, died at the young age of 16. Mary married Charles Isham and had a son, Lincoln Isham. At this point I would direct the reader to composer and musician, Mark Isham, whose music if often as glorious as a Lincoln address.
Jessie bore two children by her first husband, Warren Beckwith -- Robert "Bud" Lincoln Beckwith and Mary "Peggy" Lincoln Beckwith. Peggy never married and was the last Lincoln descendant to occupy Hildene. Lincoln Isham and Robert "Bud" Beckwith both married, but neither bore fruit. Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith died in 1985.

Warren Beckwith's ancestry includes the ancestors of Marmaduke Beckwith of England and Matthew Beckwith of Connecticut.


The Beckwiths


"Mary Lincoln Beckwith, more affectionately known as "Peggy," inherited Hildene in 1938 at the age of 40. She was an active woman with a fondness for animals and a love of the outdoors. Peggy piloted her own planes and flew in and out of Manchester from a hangar and airstrip which existed on Hildene's Meadowlands. Photography, art, sculpting and skiing were just a few of her hobbies. She was known by Manchester residents to be a shy, but generous and caring person. Never married, Peggy lived at Hildene until her death in 1975."

Portraits of Byrd, Carter
...of Robert Carter III of Nomini:
In 1772 Carter abruptly retired from Williamsburg to his plantation, Nomini Hall, on the Potomac River. In time he repudiated the major institutions of colonial gentry society: he abandoned politics, he gave up life as a planter, and he deserted the Anglican Church, becoming a Baptist in 1778. Carter was ambivalent about many aspects of Virginia life, including slavery, at times defending it and at others calling it a depravity; he eventually freed his nearly 500 slaves. In the end, he escaped rural Virginia for residence in the city of Baltimore, the family home of his wife, Frances Ann Tasker. There he became a Swedenborgian disciple.

Carter Family Cemetery, Sabine Hall

The Mount Airy Stud Farm of Virginia
From the site:
The estate built by John Tayloe II, in 1747, and later maintained by his son, John Tayloe III, was among the outstanding stud farms of colonial Virginia. The Tayloes owned and raced such important horses as Childers, who was imported in 1751 and proved to be a sire of great mares. Childers returned to racing after six seasons at stud. At the ripe old age of 13, he carried 180 pounds, and finished a five-mile race in 12 minutes 27 seconds to win 500 pounds. Another Mount Airy horse was Leviathan, who was the first champion gelding in American turf history, winning 23 consecutive races. In 1802, he conceded 70 pounds to an opponent, yet won a five-mile "dash." The younger Tayloe bred his imported mare, Castrinira, to the great Diomed, and the resulting foal was Sir Archie, one of the greatest sires in American Thoroughbred history. The eminence of Mount Airy is evidenced by the fact that between 1791 and 1806, the farm's 141 entries won 113 races - a fantastic record.

also:

But Tayloe put a number of his mares to Diomed, and he liked the results. Diomed sired some of the most famous horses in American turf history. Among them were Haynie's Maria, who beat every horse until she lost one race as a nine-year-old. Andrew Jackson declared that Haynie's Maria "can beat any thing in God's whole creation."... Diomed also sired the undefeated Ball's Florizel, Potomac, Duroc, and greatest of all, Sir Archie, who became a singularly important influence in American Thoroughbred history. He sired the line which extended to Timolean, Boston, and Lexington. When Diomed died at the age of 31, one historian reports, "...there was as much mourning over his demise as there was at the death of George Washington."

Long Branch

Long Branch was built around 1805 by Robert Carter Burwell, a member of a group of descendants of Tidewater tobacco planters who moved to the Shenandoah Valley at the end of the eighteenth century. Settling on land granted to them in 1730 by an ancestor, Robert 'King" Carter, they built large and well-appointed houses and raised tobacco and wheat with slave labor. This new plantation society revolved around the village of Millwood, with its store, blacksmith's shop and grist mill.
Robert Carter Burwell consulted Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the noted architect of the U.S. Capitol, as he drew up plans for his new home on a rise above the Long Branch creek, Whether Burwell was able to finish the house and live there is not known; he led a company of militia to fight in the War of 1812 and died of disease at a camp near Norfolk in September 1813.
In his will, Burwell left Long Branch to his sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Philip Nelson. Philip Nelson was a son of Thomas Nelson Jr., signer of the Declaration of Independence and governor of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, Philip Nelson was a vestryman, justice of the peace and owned up to 33 slaves. He and his wife raised a large family and operated a girl's school at Long Branch.

Fauntleroy, Red Gate, Robert Owen & New Harmony


Robert Henry Fauntleroy (1806-1849)


In 1827, Robert Henry Fauntleroy moved from Virginia to New Harmony, Indiana. There he married Jane Dale Owen, one of the five children of social reformer Robert Owen, who had purchased the town in 1825. As an engineer, Fauntleroy was awarded patents for two inventions...

The name Fauntleroy is well known in modern New Harmony, and The Old Fauntleroy Home is visited by hundreds tourists each year...

Unfortunately, some New Harmony histories have given misleading genealogical accounts. These can be corrected by reference to The Fauntleroy Family, privately published by Robert Harrison Fauntleroy in 1952.
Joseph Fauntleroy, son of Griffin Murdock Fauntleroy and Anne Belfield, was born in 1784 and died in 1832. He inherited from his father the 500 acre plantation in Richmond County [Virginia] called "Mars Hill" in 1794, and in 1810 he sold it to Peter Northen, and moved to Clarke Co. [then Frederick Co.]. In 1811 he married his first cousin, Emily Carter Fauntleroy, daughter of Joseph Fauntleroy and Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy, of "Greenville," Clarke County. In 1827 he sold his property in Clarke County, freed his slaves, and went to New Harmony, Indiana... He took with him his wife and their eight children and two of his freed Negro slaves, and they were accompanied by four of Emily Carter Fauntleroy's brothers, [including] Robert Henry Fauntleroy.
Robert Henry Fauntleroy was born in 1806 at Greenville, the son of Joseph Fauntleroy (1754-1815) and his cousin, Elizabeth Fouchee Fauntleroy (1772-1824). His father (son of William Fauntleroy and Margaret Murcock) was a different Joseph from the one who moved to New Harmony. The first Greenville dwelling was built in 1795 by Robert's father. At present, on or near the site of the Greenville house is a later historic house called Red Gate: "Today the lovely painted white brick home is nestled in old boxwoods and has an expanisve panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Clarke County farmland." - from Annals of Clarke County, Virginia, v. 1, by Stuart E. Brown, Jr., 1983.
The wedding of Robert Henry Fauntleroy and Jane Dale Owen, on March 23, 1835, can be compared to that Robert Dale Owen, Jane's older brother. Both weddings took place at home in New Harmony and were not registered in official Posey County records. The earlier wedding has been described elsewhere, and R. D. Owen's defiant statement on his wedding day perhaps speaks also for his sister's wedding three years later. (A note written by Ellinor Fauntleroy Davidson, in the Davidson Papers, Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, may be the only record of the location of her parents' wedding as New Harmony.)

BINNS VS SIBYL BECKWITH (M6818) 1828

On 1 January 1820 BINNS wanted to hire a Negro woman. He met with Jennings BECKWITH who was the son of Sibyl and it was decided that the slave woman Alcey would be the one to go to work for BINNS. BECKWITH assured BINNS that the woman was sound and healthy and not pregnant. A price of $30.00 was set. Her hire was good until 25 December of that year. Soon afterward it was discovered that Alcey was preg. And was soon unfit for labor. BINNS complained to BECKWITH who basically said too bad and indicated that BINNS would have to support Alcey and pay the midwife's fee.

BLEAK HALL, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, VA

[1831] Daniel resided at "Bleak Hall", on the South side of Mattox Creek, containing 1000 acres, which he bought before his father's death. He owned a great deal of land, as is indicated by the following deeds. The writer (Brooke Payne) has been told
by old residents in Westmoreland that Daniel Payne used to remark that he could walk from the Potomac to the Rappahannock without setting foot off his own property. His father left him the Glebe (Church Point) and also 535 acres near Leedstown
originally owned by Richard Payne and purchased 1795 by said John Payne from his brother William Payne. 1818 Daniel Payne bought "Laurel Grove" from Alexander Morson, who had it from Bushrod Washington; this estate adjoined Bleak Hall. 1831 he
purchased from Mrs. Mary Lee 185 acres on Mattox Creek adjacent to Bleak Hall and Laurel Grove. 1832 he bought Locust Farm and Oak Grove, 4000 acres on Mattox Creek. In the same year he and Henry T. Garnett bought from John Gray three tracts,
including "Wakefield", the birth-place of General Washington, and an island in Pope's Creek. Mr. Gray had purchased Wakefield in 1813 from George Corbin Washington, who reserved a plot 60 by 60 feet around the site of the house, and another
plot 20 by 20 feet around the tomb. 1835 Mr. Garnett sold to Daniel Payne for $8250 his share in Wakefield. Following Daniel Payne's death, his executors sold Wakefield to John E. Wilson.
