It seems like it's been 100 years since we heard rumors of the possibility of having access to these journals. A much anticipated collection of daily life in Talbot County. But ... the wait was well worth it. Thanks to Jim Dawson, the Willis family and everyone else involved in putting this wonderful history lesson in print. There is something to be learned by <u>everyone</u>.<br />
You can find this 550+ page book at the Newscenter in Easton and I'm sure at Jim's store - Unicorn Bookshop in Trappe. The best part - it's only $30 !!Cindy Schmidthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17928401613359962474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-192106119386609297.post-12482790861387930002015-03-17T20:37:00.000-07:002015-03-17T20:37:12.207-07:00Preserving the past<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Everyone in the area knew this ole tree well. In our
memory it has always been there, always really big, always special and always
called The Wye Oak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">How many of our ancestors walked by this ole tree,
which is on the old Indian path now known as Rt. 662, how many travelers passed
by it before Rt. 50 was established?
Most likely if your roots are on the Eastern Shore, your ancestors have
viewed this same tree, stopped for a rest, chatted with the villagers, or
neighbors who had also brought their wheat to the Wye Mill or gathered its
acorns. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When the oak was only about 100 to 150 years old,
area landowners even made deals under this tree. One specific time, Robert Noble, Richard
Woolman, Henry Hawkins, Nathaniel Cleeve, William Jones, Henry Costin and others
sat and drank a case of spirits together.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The spirits were payment from Henry Hawkins to
Nathaniel Cleeve for a piece of land called Nathaniel’s Point lying in Wye
River, a deal they hashed out under the Bachelor’s Oak. I guess Nathaniel gathered his spirits under
his arm, shook hands with Henry, but before he could get a way, others had gathered. After a lot of conversation and laughter,
they must have needed a drink and Nathaniel decided to share. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the United
States Circuit Court yesterday, a hearing was had before Chief Justice Chase,
upon the petition of <b>Elizabeth Turner
(colored) by her next friend Charles Henry Minaky</b>, addressed to Hon. Salmon
P. Chase, Chief Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States in and for the
Maryland District. The petitioner alleges that <b>she is the child of Elizabeth Minaky, formerly Elizabeth Turner</b>;
that she is restrained of her liberty and held in custody by Philemon T.
Hambleton, Talbot County, Md., in violation of the Constitution and laws of the
United States; also that petitioner is restrained of her liberty by virtue of
certain alleged indentures of apprenticeship made not in accordance with the
laws of Maryland, as applicable to binding of white children. The petitioner
prays the court for a writ of habeas corpus, addressed to said Hambleton,
requiring him to produce in court the person of the petitioner and to certify the
true cause of her detention, and to show cause, if he has, why the petitioner
should not be discharged.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The respondent
stated that the child and its mother were formerly his slaves, and were set free
by the Constitution, which went into operation Nov. 1, 1864. The child was
apprenticed Nov 3, 1864 two days after she was emancipated. The law of Congress
called the Civil Rights Bill was passed since the child was indentured April 3,
1866 and everybody told him that the law did not interfere with this case.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Chief
Justice said the questions in the case were so grave and important that he
wished to be advised by the argument of counsel on the part of claimant. He
would adjourn the court until today at 9 o’clock in order to give the claimant
or any person interested in the decision an opportunity to appear. If not
person opposed he would dispose of the case.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Justice delivered the following decision:<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The petitioner
in this case seeks relief from restraint and detention by PHILEMON T. HAMBLETON
of Talbot County in Maryland, in alleged contravention of the Constitution and
laws of the United States.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The facts as
they appear from the return made by Mr. HAMBLETON to the writ, and by his verbal statement made in court and
admitted as part of the return are substantially as follows: The petitioner,
ELIZABETH TURNER a young person of color and her mother were, prior to the
adoption of the Maryland Constitution of 1864 slaves of the respondent. That
Constitution went into operation Nov 1. 1864 and prohibited slavery. Almost
immediately thereafter many of the freed people of Talbot County were collected
together under some local authority, the nature of which does not clearly
appear and the younger persons were bound as apprentices usually, if not
always, to their masters. Among others, Elizabeth the petitioner was
apprenticed to Hambleton by an indenture, dated on the 3d of November two days
after the new Constitution went into operation. Upon comparing the terms of
this indenture, which is claimed to have been executed under the law of
Maryland relating to negro apprentices, with those required by the law of
Maryland in indentures for the apprenticeship of white persons the variance is
manifest, the petitioner under this indenture is not entitled to any education.
A white apprentice must be taught reading, writing and arithmetic. The
petitioner is liable to be assigned and transferred at the will of the master
to any person in the same country. The white apprentice is not thus liable. The
authority of the master over the petitioner is described in the law as a
property and interest; no such description is applied to authority over a white
apprentice. It is unnecessary to mention other particulars: such is the case. I
regret that I have been obliged to consider it without the benefit of any
argument in support of the claim of the respondent to the writ, but I have
considered it with care and an earnest desire to reach right conclusions. For
the present, I shall restrict myself to a brief statement of these conclusions
without going into the grounds of them. The time does not allow more. The
following propositions seem to me to be sound and they decide the case.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">First ~ The
first clause of the 13<sup>th</sup> Amendment of the Constitution of the United
States interdicts slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime, and establishes freedom as the constitutional right of all persons in
the United States.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Second ~ The
alleged apprenticeship in the present case is involuntary servitude within the
meaning of these words in the amendment.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Third ~ If this
were otherwise the indenture set forth in the return does not contain important
provisions for the security and benefit of the apprentice which are required by
the laws of Maryland in indenture of white apprentices and is therefore, in
contravention of that clause of the first section of the Civil Rights Law
enacted by Congress April 9, 1866.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Fourth ~ The law
having been enacted under the second clause of the 13<sup>th</sup> Amendment in
enforcement of the first clause of the same amendment is constitutional and
applies to all conditions prohibited by it, whether originating in transactions
before or since its enactment.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Fifth ~ Colored
persons equally with white persons are citizens of the United States.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The petitioner,
therefore, must be discharged from restraint by the respondent.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
