| 1703 | William Joseph Key, (son of Andrew Jackson Key), B. Nov. 15, 1876 in Chesterfield, South Carolina, D. July 31, 1962 in Bonham, Texas. M. Lula Jane Sinor on Sept. 24, 1899. She was a sister to Benjamin Thomas Sinor who married Uncle Bill's sister Elexie Dall Key. This means that his children and those of Elexie Dall Key were double cousins. Lula Jane Sinor was B. Oct. 29, 1881, D. July 28, 1919. They are both buried in the East Shady Grove Cemetery just to the South of the graves of his parents, Andrew Jackson and Sarah Elizabeth Key. A TRIBUTE BY SARAH (KEY) McMURRY The following is transcribed from a family history which was written by Sarah Elizabeth (Key) McMurry. She is the daughter of William Joseph Key. It was written as a tribute to Mrs. Delia Henry on her 58th Birthday on Sept. 16, 1977. The families of Bill Key and of the Henrys were dear friends and neighbors. 'Bill' William J. Key was born in White Plains, South Carolina Nov. 15, 1876 into the family of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew J. and Sarah Elizabeth Elizabeth Key. He came to Texas along with his family in 1881 when he was five years old. They settled in Fannin County where they bought land, cleared the timber and built their home. It was in this same place west of Leonard that he grew into manhood with all the work and hardships that the pioneer families had to endure. He was married to Lula Jane Sinor, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. George Sinor a pioneer family from Georgia. At the home of Perry Young, Sept. 24, 1899. To this union was born ten children. They were Berniece, Andrew W. "Bud", Beadie, Vonie, three baby boys died at birth, Sarah, Willie, and Hubert. All have deceased but Sarah McMurry, Leonard, Texas and Hubert Key Lubbock, Texas. Bill Key was a farmer and reared his family west of Leonard with the exceptions of about three years they lived at Randolph where the little boys were born and buried. We attended church when possible at East Shady Grove Baptist and Blanton Chapel Methodist Churches. My parents were Methodist, Berniece, Bud and Vonie were Baptist, Willie and Hubert were Methodist. After I married I obeyed the gospel of Christ and became a member of His Church - Willie and Hubert are also members of The Church of Christ. We attended the Hopewell School which grew from a one teacher to a three teacher school. After I finished Leonard High School in 1927 I taught school for six years at Hopewell. On Nov. 21 Beadie died at the age of 16 and was laid to rest in E. Shady Grove Cemetery. Then tragedy struck our family again. The following year, Grandpa Key died June 21, 1919 at the age of 66 years. Our mother, Lula Key, was taken July 28, 1919, at the age of 39 years. They both were buried in East Shady Grove Cemetery. Grandma Key, the grand old soul that she was wanted Papa and the children to move into her home. That we did and lived with her and her sister-in-law, Aunt Ann Mangrum, for four years with all the adjustments we had to make. Then we moved back to our old house on the hill where we lived when Mama died and where we first, to my knowledge became connected with the Henry Family. It seems that I've known Delia Henry all my life and I know she has me for she says she and Aunt Doll Evans came to see my mother and me right after I was born. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holt (Sallie Henry Holt) lived across the road from us and Mary Ella, their oldest daughter was my first and beat little girl friend. We played everyday so much that we got to talking and walking in our sleep until our mamas had to stop us. When the Holts moved away Marion and Cordia Henry Carpenter moved into the house with her parents, grandma and grandpa Henry. They were our dear neighbors. That was back in the time when .we didn't go much and didn't have any close neighbors. We loved them very much and esteemed their friendship very highly through the years. Then as time passed by and Papa began atending church regularly and taking Hubert, we became better acquainted and closer associated with the Hamilton "Bud" Henry Family. ' When the girls Lucille, Maureen, Ima and Ilene began their singing career with the help of their dad, Mr. Henry, they really kept Blanton Chapel on the move for some time. Mr. Wren Henry, brother to Bud and Bill Key were very close friends. They spent many hours just visiting and whittling away the time. In fact the Key Family have always counted the Henry generation as old and dear friends. The Olen Henry Family lived next door to Mac and I when their children and ours were young. In the more recent years, Mac and I have throughly enjoyed visiting in the home of G.W. and Lucille Todd and Delia. Bill Key and Edna Ladamer were married Feb. .6, 1936 at Celeste, Texas. They were accompanied by Dick and Cleo Price. They lived in the house just East of Grandma Keys and South of Hopewell, where we, Mac and I had been living with Papa, for several years. After he retired from farming in 1948 he and Edna moved to Leonard to the Hickman House in the West part of town. They lived there for a few years and bought a home across the railroad just Southwest of town. He enjoyed living there very much, and liked it too because he could walk to see and liked to help around the house. His health was bad the last year or two of his life before his death July 31, 1962. He was buried in East Shady Grove Cemetery. I found this letter to be most informative about Uncle Bill Key and his family. I trust that the members of his family will treasure these word for a long time. | Key, William Joseph (I0025)

Barnet Surgeon Jacob Harris Surgeon's Mate _____ Cox Chaplain p. 29: Fourth Company: John Polhemus Captain Isaac Morrison First Lieutenant John Holmes Second Lieutenant Peter Vandeventer Ensign ***** Brief History of Campaigns, p 41-43: On the 23d of October, 1776, Colonel William Maxwell was elected by Congress, Brigadier General, and soon after assumed command of the four battalions raised on this establishment, called "Maxwell's Brigade". It appears that the First battalion was fully organized in December, 1776, the Second Battalion about February 1st, 1777, the Fourth Battalion about the close of the same month, and the Third battalion, although Colonel Dayton and Captain Bloomfield left their first commands at Ticonderoga a few days after the inspection, did not get into the field before the last of April. In the month of May, 1777, General Maxwell's Brigade was placed in the division of the American Army commanded by Major General Adam Stephens, of North Carolina. It was then encamped at Elizabethtown, Bound Brook, and Spanktown (Rahway). During the summer, the division of General Stephens marched through Pennsylvania and Delaware, and on the morning of September 11th, a portion of the "Jersey Line" opened the battle of Brandywine. They continued in the fight all that day, on the advance of the division. After the battle, the brigade continued marching and countermarching, had a skirmish with the enemy at White House Tavern, on the Lancaster road, passed near Yellow Springs, Reading Furnace, Worcester, and then towards the enemy, and finally encamped at Germantown. A battle took place at this post on the 4th of October. With the brigade of North Carolina troops commanded by Brigadier General Francis Nash, Maxwell's Brigade formed the corps de reserve and left wing of the American Army. This division was commanded by Major General Lord Stirling, of New Jersey. The whole command distinguished itself in this fight, but especially the First Battalion, which suffered severly in both officers and men. In December, 1777, the cantonment of the army was proposed by General Washington, and, in this connection, Congress called upon him December 19th for a report thereon, and urged that measures be immediately agreed upon for the protection of New Jersey. The following is the text of the resolution: "Resolved, That General Washington be informed that, in the opinion of Congress, the State of New Jersey demands, in a peculiar degree, the protection of the armies of the United States, so far as the same can possibly be extended, consistent with the safety of the army and the general welfare, as that State lies open to attacks from so many quarters, and the struggles which have been made by the brave and virtuous inhabitants of that State, in defence of the common cause, cannot fail of exposing them to the particular resentment of a merciless enemy." Maxwell's Brigade was most of the winter with the army at Valley Forge, and, on the evacuation of Philadelphia by the British, June 18th, 1778, was detached from the main army, and with some militia, was ordered to harass and impede General Clinton's force. The British Army marched towards New York by way of Moorestown and Mount Holly. The army under Washington crossed the Delaware river at Coryell's Ferry (Lambertville), and passed through Hopewell, Princeton, Kingston, Cranberry, and Englishtown, and met the enemy near Freehold. Maxwell's Brigade was afterwards joined by six hundred Continential troops, commanded by Colonel Daniel Morgan, of Virginia, and again by fifteen hundred picked troops, under Brigadier General Charles Scott, of Virginia, and one thousand under Brigadier General Anthony Wayne, of Pennsylvania. The entire force engaged in harrassing the enemy was in command of General Lafayette. On the 28th of June, 1778, the "Jersey Line" joined the left wing of the army, and the brigade, as well as the militia under Major General Philemon Dickinson, participated in the battle of Monmouth, fought on that day. The brigade, after the fight, was sadly in want of clothing, and many and urgent were the requests made therefor to the Legistature. The winter of 1778-9 was passed mostly at Elizabethtown, although a detactment of the Second Battalion was stationed in Newark, and a detachment of the Fourth Battalion in Spanktown (Rahway). In consequence of the "Massacre of Wyoming," Maxwell's Brigade, on the 11th day of May, 1779, was ordered, with the first or principal division, under Major General John Sullivan, of New Hampshire, to march up the Susquehanna into the settlements of the Seneca Indians. Attached to the brigade at this time were Colonel Oliver Spencer's regiment, Colonel David Forman's regiment, Colonel Elisha Sheldon's (of Connecticut) regiment of light dragoons, and a battery of artillery. On the 9th of October, the brigade was ordered to return to New Jersey. On the 23d of June 1780, the Jersey troops, Continental and militia, took a prominent part in the fight at Springfield. Military Records from the National Archives The military records of Garret Gray were requested from the U.S. National Archives and a transcription of those records is attached. Note that the National Archives records indicate that Garret Gray was a sergeant. His "desertion" must be taken with a grain of salt, as he and many of his compatriots believed that their enlistment was for three years, and therefore, many left before winter began. ***** First Battalion - Second Establishment - 28 November 1776 Field and Staff Silas Newcomb Colonel, 28 Nov 1776 (promoted Brigadier General, militia, 15 Mar 1777) Matthias Ogden Lieutenant Colonel, 28 Nov 1776 (promoted Colonel, 1 Jan 1777), discharged at the close of the war William D'Hart Major, 28 Nov 1776 (promoted Lieutenant Colonel, 1 Jan 1777), resigned Alexander Clough Adjutant, 28 Nov 1776, died in service, Dec 1778 Leonidas Chapin Quartermaster, 28 Nov 1776, resigned Aaron Ogden Paymaster, 1 Feb 1777 (resigned as Paymaster, 1 Apr 1778), discharged at the close of the war William M.
