18130012057Elizabethtown Hardin County Kentucky: Circuit Court Elizabethtown Hardin County Kentucky. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1813. Non-Book. On offer is an 1813 ADS being a summons to appear at Hardin Circuit Court by Ben Helm 1779-1858 who was Clerk of Hardin County Court and Circuit Court at the time. It was in relation to a conviction against Christopher Bush 1730-1813 and Ichabod Radley 1774-1847. The two men owed damages to Joseph Stover another Kentucky pioneer. SEE BIO NOTES ON HELM and BUSH FOLLOWING THE LISTING. The summons refers to a March 13 1809 judgment against Bush and Radley handed down by Judge Stephen Ormsby 1759-1844 and assistant judge Samuel Haycraft 1752-1823. The 1809 judgment is described here: Judgment of that Court had recovered against Christopher Bush and Ichabod Radley one penny Damage and twelve dollars and sixteen cents as well for the costs of a certain Ejectment brought by the said Joseph Stoves against the said Christopher Bush and Ichabod Radley as for his Damage in that suit expenses where of the said Christopher Bush and Ichabod Radley are convicted The summons goes on to explain that Execution of the said judgment still remains to be made . Since Christopher Bush passed away in January of 1813 and made his son Christopher and his wife Hannah Executors of his will they are summoned to appear on the first day of the Courts next June term. The back of the document indicates that this summons was executed on Christopher Bush Jr. On April 28 1813 and on Hannah Bush on May 14 1813. It is important to note that Bush Jr. Would become Abraham Lincolns uncle. BEN HELM 1779-1858 was a pioneer soldier and noted for his success as an Indian fighter. Major Ben Helm was the uncle of John Larue Helm governor of Kentucky and grandfather of Confederate General Ben Hardin Helm who married Emilie Todd sister of Mary Todd Lincoln. Ben Helm married Mary Edwards the daughter of Benjamin Edwards and was a sister of Governor Ninian Edwards. It was the governor's son and namesake who married Elizabeth Todd sister of Mary Todd Lincoln. Thus there was a connection with Mary Todd Lincoln on both sides of Ben Helm's family. Ben Helm was a prominent citizen of Elizabethtown who served as a merchant and bank president. He was County Surveyor and was a member of the Town Board Clerk of Hardin County Court and the Circuit Court and a major in the War of 1812. He as County Surveyor and the first to survey Elizabethtown the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. Helm built the first brick house in Elizabethtown that became an important social and meeting center of town. On May 28 1860 Abraham Lincoln referred to Ben Helm in a letter to Samuel Haycraft. Ben Helm also became the owner of the Christopher Bush farm. It was Bush's daughter Sarah that became Abraham Lincoln's step-mother when Abe's mother Nancy Hanks died of milk disease. BIO CREDIT: Raynors Historical Collectible Auctions CHRISTOPHER BUSH 1730-1813 was said to have been born in Holland and came to America circa 1750 and to Kentucky at the end of the Revolutionary War. Thomas Lincoln Abe's father was probably more involved with Bush and his children than anyone else in Kentucky. Bush was a farmer a constable of Hardin County and Captain of Patrollers. Thomas Lincoln served as a patroller under him. Christopher's son Isaac had a close relationship with Thomas having made a flatboat trip with him to New Orleans 1806. He lent him money and sold Tom the Sinking Spring farm where the future president was born. And of course Christopher's daughter Sarah married Abe's father and raised young Abraham Lincoln. Anything by or about the Bush family from Kentucky should be considered quite rare. An unusual opportunity for the Lincoln collector. Because Christopher had died a few months earlier his wife Hannah appeared with her son Christopher Jr. Appeared. He would become Abe Lincoln's uncle. BIO CREDIT: East Coast Books.

18990009160LONDON ENGLAND to KUCHING SARAWAK BORNEO. Good. 1899. On offer is a fascinating diary of an English gentleman by the name of Ben D. Beeley from England who at the very end of the 19th Century travels from London to Borneo to function as a missionary to the local population there. The 1899 New Year begins with a short entry by Beeley: I commenced the New Year in all Saints Church. O Lord help me to serve Thee with true devotion in my life as a missionary in Borneo. In February He sails aboard steamship from London heading to Singapore. The day before he says his goodbyes: The saddest day in my life he remarks. I left home this morning at 9 a.m. How awful to say good-bye to the dear ones at home Dear Father and Darling mother and dear old Gal. M God help them and bless and comfort them.I took my dear little Lottie for a long walk. How happy I was in her company. How sad to leave her but I am happy since I know she loves me truly and faithfully. I have asked her not to wait for me and she promises she will not. Never can I forget the farewell at All Saints Church. All the girls cried. Jeff embraced me. And those dear men how they did cheer!! My god take away pride from me. He leaves on the steamer Kawachi Maru. The beginning of his journey is less than pleasant filled with headaches terrible sea sickness and rough seas. The days get better as they go on and Beeley notes his activities everyday on the boat. For example: Awoke feeling much better. Had a better breakfast. Spent the morning on Deck. Talk to one of the Miss Vincents. Bible Reading on Luke xvii 1 -10 . Very rough in evening and much spray. He writes everyday of the journey to Singapore. From England the steamer travels across the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal. Beeley doesnt like Port Said much: I was 4 or 5 times in the day grossly insulted in the street. The whole tone of the place is awful. There is work there for 100 missionaries and there is only one! The ship reaches Singapore and is therefore only a day before it goes on to Borneo. Beeley is stationed in Kuching Sarawak as a missionary. His first impressions in early April are very positive and shortly after arriving he get to work: I took Perrys boys for scripture from 10 to 10:45. It was a great treat to hear how well they answered. They were all Dyaks and Chinese. My first bit of mission work. He comes off as an intensely curious person and writes often about the customs and religion of the people around him: Chinese ancestor worship is very extraordinary.a procession headed by 2 men carrying 2.coloured baskets next to a scarlet banner followed by a dead goat on a stretcher and a young dead pig both these have fruit in their mouths.; The Malays have curious customs of piling up pillows one on the top of the others; The Chinese and Malay made an awful row. They believe a dragon was swelling the moon. and they tried to scare him. He also starts to notice some of the ethnic strife: This morning 5 Dyaks were executed for the murder of some Chinese. The murder took place about five years ago but the murders have only just been found out. We had some Cricket at the fort. It was good fun. The Dyaks thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a boy in an inch of water on the pitch. I never expected to play cricket in the east in such a quagmire. While in Kuching Beeley spends considerable time with one of the White Rajahs of Sarawak Charles of Sarawak Charles Johnson/Brooke. The Rajahs were a dynastic monarchy of the English Brooke family who founded and ruled the Kingdom of Sarawak from 1841 - 1947. He receives an invitation for dinner from the Rajah at Astana his palace in Kuching. When Beeley sets off to the field to preach he encounters many obstacles including awful weather tribes of headhunters and dangerous animals. At one village he notices human heads hanging from posts outside of their homes. Saribas people are very nice & all want me to stay with them. There were 2 human heads hanging up the house opposite our beds.He has near disastrous river trip & almost drowns on several occasions. He also hunts & in one case shoots a 7 foot crocodile outside of his hut. His journey to the more rural and isolated parts of the country is exceptionally fascinating to read. Despite becoming a Deacon in September Beeley is assigned to a seemingly abandoned missionary station where everything is rundown and has to live in the ruins of a house. He suffers bouts of dysentery and mentions many of his fellow missionaries are depressed and want to leave Sarawak. He writes 'This Diocese is in a bad state. Men are all dissatisfied. Gomes Perry in fact nearly all want to leave. What will be the end I do not know! Shortly afterward he becomes horribly ill and spends almost two months in a delirious state. He writes often of struggles with his faith I hope I shall not be alone in any mission station I am so weak & I am afraid of myself.; O God help me in the great responsibility of guiding this mission station. Give me strength and help. I do feel the responsibility of this mission I hope all will go well. and his own personal salvation. As well as his struggles to actually comprehend the Dyak language and culture and to speak back to them. At the end of the year Beeley writes a fantastic retrospective passage: The end of 1899. A wonderful year to me. The beginning of a new life how many things have happened !! Some for good some almost bringing about my downfall. God thou knowest- all my love thee feeble and weak though it be. Am I better or worse for the past year The past is gone from us forever. It is gathered and it belongs to us no more. No single work can ever be unspoken no single step retraced. In February I had heart rendering farewells to leave home & my dear family & her whom I love. In April i landed in Sarawak & commenced my work. In July I had fierce trials by temptation. In August I was prostrate on a bed with sickness. In September I was ordained Deacon. In December left alone in the heart of Sarawak. Yet O God I was in thy hands & I know thou will keep me safe. The book is in good condition. The cover and spine have some aesthetic wear and discoloration but are still structurally good. The binding is still tight. The pages inside show little foxing or rips and tears. The handwriting is clear and legible throughout in black and blue ink and occasionally pencil. Some of the ink has faded a bit and there are a couple dozen pages where the ink has bled through to the other side. This does slightly affect the ease at which the content can be read for these pages but the bleeding through is minimal and the words can still be made out with slightly more effort.

Over 88 pages of entries we see a life and get an intimate look at what Anne was like and her experiences including her single years hitchhiking all over the place her marriage to Ben Bradley the birth of her children including twins the family's move to Florida living in California with her husband because he's in the Navy her horse racing and everything in between.
