- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
I haven't paid for the up charge on "beef ribs" for over a decade since the butcher told me chuck roast is the same cut without the bone. I forget that most people were like me and didn't know that.
Good night, D-League!
Fireworks are finally done out here. Hope you have a great 4th of July!

Good morning D-League. It’s a glorious one in the east. Been out walking and watching the sun rise. Cool and clear, a beautiful start to the day.
Happy 4th to all Americans worthy of the name. Just having a relatively low key cookout then we’ll drive over and watch some local fireworks. I hope it is a good one for all of you.

Leaving in about 10 minutes for today's food for MIL and BIL.
Look out Bass!

A happy 4th to all!!! And a good Lord's Day to all!!
Beautiful sunny morning in the Buckeye State. A nice, pleasant mid-60s now...but quickly getting up to about 90. So the heat is on the way.
Not a lot on the docket for today. A little company for a cookout and that's about all.
The 'boneless beef ribs' turned out very good. A little spice rub on before, smoked for about 3 hours (could have been more...got closer to dinner time and turned up temp to 300+.) Learned a lot about beef ribs in looking them up after noticing the package said Beef Chuck Roast. Didn't know there were so may types/cuts of beef ribs. About five I think. But they were very good.
Y'all have a good, great, safe, and happy Lord's Day....that just so happens to be Independence Day.
With all the country's problelms and the Dem/Libs who want to tear it down....perhaps Independence Day on His day is a good omen.

Morning folks. It is a slightly warmer temp today than yesterday, a sunny 61.9°F.
It is good to see that Austin safely got to Knoxville (home of the Vols and Rocky Top - on June the 10 I stopped at Rocky Top's McDonalds and bought a cone of soft serve).
Here is to a great Fourth of July to the D-League. Remember the reason for the holiday.
Here are my "direct" ancestors who fought in the Revolution:
Byrd Prewitt (1753-1833)
Jacob Falconberry (1757-1844)
Benjamin Aimsley Higginbotham (Abt 1723-1791)
Benjamin Higginbotham Jr (1757-1810)
Larkin Gatewood (1736-1805)
John Upshaw (1755-1834)

To irritate any Dem/libs who may wander by the property today.....got my Betsy Ross flag on the flagpole, flags around the mailbox, flags around a historical marker in the front yard, flags lining one of the old sidewalks leading to the house, and a banner flag above the 'colonial' front door. That oughta get 'em.
Plus, I like it.

That is quite a heritage Bert. I have a few in my bloodline
Joseph Adair ( South Carolina)
William Adair (South Carolina)
John Adair (South Carolina) After the war he moved to Kentucky and became Governor
William White (Virginia)
Joshua Blanton (North Carolina
James Blanton (North Carolina)
John Alderman (North Carolina) He was the father-in-law to Joshua Blanton.
I joined the Sons of The American Revolution under the name of John Alderman. It is a good group of men to be associated with.
Nice to see Austin had safe travels. We should have a very nice day for Independence Day down here, we might get a little rain but that is always welcome. It keeps us green. I trust all are well and enjoy the day. It is still special to me and it always will be. I am not WOKE yet, still sleeping in the love of God and Country.
I had some too. Would be a good project...pull out some of the family's history/genealogy and see how many.
Good morning D, Happy 4th to you!!!! I love our country!!!!!
SC I've to stop reading Jeremiah for a couple days because I have gotten ahead of the others in my group, I jumped over to Daniel and read this morning, I'll start again when they catch up.
I hope the D, has a great 4th, I am going to be with family this evening! Stay safe and Prayers!!!
Happy 4th Bev, OEC and Y, I mean Bertfan!!!!

OK let me know when you pick it back up so I can stay even with you. Thanks, and Happy 4th. It still means something around here.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 68° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 87°.
Happy 4th of July to everyone.
Happy 4th of July to everyone.
I'd just as soon we go back to that flag & leave it alone. Too many stars whiting out the blue these days. Or put one larger start in the middle to represent all the others.I love the Old Betsy Ross flag. I fly it too and proudly.
My ancestors didn't get here till 1818 - 1857. But one took a Confederate bullet thru the head on a battleground.
You best not claim kin to Blantons as there are a bunch of those in my family!That is quite a heritage Bert. I have a few in my bloodline

Yep. I have a list of my family in the Revolution and the Civil War. My civil war folks are slanted toward the north. The Higginbotham's and Elmore's mainly fought for the South and the Lee and Cook side tended toward the North. None of them owned slaves but chose sides for reasons they probably did not even fully understand.
The names I listed above were direct ancestors. I did not include the cousins and uncles. On John Filson's 1791 map of Kentucke my area is flagged “Land reserved for the Virginia troops; extending to the Carolina Line, which runs parallel with the bottom of this Map in 36 1/2 N Lat.” So most of my folks got to this part of the world by claiming land for fighting in the Revolution.
I have posted this often, but this is John Elmore's warrant. I only have copies of two of my ancestors warrants.
This is a warning to law breaking deer
Hqppy Independence Day, D-League!
Great day for yard work, bird watchin/feeding, and fishing, maybe some guests and a cookout, maybe a visit downtown Lexington. Just glad to have the day

Fishing was pretty good this morning although I am down a pint or two in blood. The mosquitos were out in force. I hooked 7 and landed 4 but had even more strikes. Did not count them but there were many. Bass are territorial and even when not eating will strike at anything that gets in their area.
Taking the wife out for lunch and shopping before coming back and cutting grass. Full day ahead. Back out tomorrow morning for more bass.
Happy Fourth and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

We are going to have an old fashioned "Dinner on the Grounds" meal. Fried chicken, BBQ (pork) corn on the cob, potato salad, cole slaw, green beans, baked beans, cornbread and all of the trimmings.
Remember these days. This was before air conditioned social halls in churches. As a kid it was my favorite Sunday and we did it about every six weeks, all year long with the big one Homecoming right before football season started. All day and late into the night singing was an added bonus.

I've been busy trying to find out stuff. Folks like to know things and today is perfect for this endeavor so here goes. The names are links of info sources. I know this is true thanks to my Grandfather. I still have the hat and being retired, I'm sporting a white beard as well. All of this is the validation of his knowledge and it is indeed my privilege/blessing.
- The Causine Manor was opposite of the Ignatius Church along Chapel Point Road.
- The Hussey family members likely to be descendant of the families of the beheaded John Hussey and the beheaded Henry Rich.
- Mary Causine (Daughter of Nicholas Causine married Major John Wheeler of the "Society of Jesus" then her daughter married John Middleton likely a descendant of the the beatified Blessed John Middleton (Society of Jesus) family.
- LDS records of Nicholas Causine indicate the descendent of the Ignatius Causine family which literally means Ignatius "child of mother's sister". This strongly suggests that the Causines were descendants of the family of Saint Ignatius of Loyola the founder of the "Society of Jesus" and patron saint of warriors.
I'll stop here with one caveat. The family was very reserved and this history was not spoken but decision making was. It is as relevant today as as ever. this Old Maryland Line not only covered George Washington's escape from New York, these same families of founding fathers were the historical source for our Freedom of religion implemented by President Washington.
Papaw made sure I knew this.

Good afternoon and Happy 4th from Shawanee, TN. Currently 78°F and clear. Warming to 84°F for our high. We hit 59°F early this morning. Great sleeping weather.
Long ride out here. 17 hours or so with stops. I've already been over to Middlesboro today. Many businesses open down there.
Plan on cleaning up later and enjoying 4th festivities with family.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Papaw's great grandfather (my 3rd) was William Gassan. In the upper left corner of the tree there is the Causine family. This where it gets interesting.

Are you saying a Jesuit family (or several) helped found a country with freedom of religion? That seems opposed to their oath of service unless they felt the crown was a more formidable enemy to conquer than the new republic...
Pretty cool, though. Wish I knew more about out families.
I have very little documented history of my family other than knowing most of the european side arrived after the revolution. What I had found through documented research was tossed/deleted by some of my relatives. Appears they didn't like where the trail led.
Good memories for me as well.
As was this.....in a field (that is now a 4 lane limited access highway) behind our church.....
I have seen the Collinsworth Family many, many times and talked with them a lot. Stan Whitmire is the lead pianist at Mt Paran Church in Atlanta, GA. I attended many times and my daughter was a member there. Tim Parton is one of the best ever so getting them together is a treat.
Makes me want to have church on a Sunday afternoon but my family is hollering to go to the beach so I will leave you with this BBUK. This is the way we do it down here.
Probably before your time in Atlanta, and before your daughter was a member there....but Myron use to be a member there. Nice guy.
After lunch I had some time to quickly go through some family history in regards to the Revolutionary War.
Haven't gone through all of it (I've got quite a bit on my Dad's side of the family...Mom, not as much, but it's building). Found that my G-G-G-G-Grandfather died in the war. Was in the 8th Virginia Regiment. And, he had 6 brothers who served in the war as well.
Quick side note on family history...a cousin sent some info a few weeks ago that one of my ancestors on my Mom's side was the founder of what is now Chase Bank. Sadly...I don't have any of his $$$$$

My relatives came over on the Mayflower. So what, they were criminals in chains. That's my story.... I'm sticking to it.
God Bless you all along with your families. May God's abundant love shower you with grace and joy this Independence day.

Hell yes. Tree huggers are stupid.
One of the hardest jobs I've ever had.
Arizona's Goshawks are a secretive species.
One of my earlier assignments was to figure out the truth about them. Widely distributed in mature Ponderosa Pine Forest communities. They we're the nesting in trees 250-500 years old. Their populations moved around with prey fluctuations across the forest dynamic successional stage productivities over a scatter mosaic of fire climax community associations that burned every 20 years or so that maintaining the natural habitat was the best they could do for management. They couldn't figure out how long it took to grow a stringer of 250 years old trees they hadn't cut down yet with a 120 year rotation to maintain the open park like environment community everyone loves. Some foresters would call me a tree hugger. A true complement for me being in touch with my inner beasty Druid.

Colonial Catholics were not allowed to own property thus religious affiliation was often carried and maintained by family women. Accordingly the men were not always celibate Jesuit priests but another religions. I'm not Catholic but understand that their oath of loyalty was to Jesus and the Pope by election of church Bishops to represent Christ on earth is likely the oldest republican election on it eclipsing our republican government. There is powerful evidence that these families of Port Tobacco, Md. were refuges subject to Christian persecution/cancellation for centuries. These families of Port Tobacco were indeed supporters, advisors and friends to General/President Washington the late 16th century and family members of patriots like John Hanson before that. When the "Society of Jesus" was outlawed, freedom of religion was restored with support of our 1st President after the revolution. And finally, I wouldn't worry about bad apples in the tree. Founding fathers were not Saints, but knew who the saints were. I bet all trees have them. Richard Rich qualifies as "Rotten" to my sensibilities.
