RuraCorinne MiddletonDiane Claiborne ClementsAnn Richardson StarrDr. Alex WaldropDuain ClaibornePatricia ClaybornDan Boylinarchives were on display, and a delicious spread of horsd’oeuvres was available. Nearby was a very interestingrestaurant, The Tobacco Company, in an old tobaccofactory, where many of the attendees gathered fordinner.The theme for this year’s reunion was “Old Richmondand the Civil War.” On Friday, October 4, we met in thelobby to board our James River Co. tour bus for themorning tour. Our guide, Frank Williamson, a Richmondnative, pointed out many of the buildings of downtown,including the US Customs Building, built 1858, whichwas used by the Confederate States as their Treasury,and President Jefferson Davis held his cabinet meetingsthere. Of particular interest to the Claiborne clan was theMutual Assurance Society Building, which had been fora time under the direction of John Herbert Claiborne.Frank gave us a brief history of Richmond, beginningwith the Capt. John Smith & Newport exploration of theJames River in 1607. Richmond is situated on the fallline of the James, and Smith and Newport stayed hereabout 2 weeks. Richmond became the Capitol ofVirginia in 1780. The population in 1807 was 600. Itslocation on the river, the port facilities, the canal system,and the richness of the farmland in the Shenandoahwww.claibornesociety.orgClaiborne ClippingsPage 1

Valley, quickly led to industry and to rapid growth. Inthe 1840’s, Richmond became a major railway hub. Itwas for these reasons that the Government of theConfederate States decided to move the Capitol toRichmond from Montgomery, AL in 1861 (despite itsclose proximity to Washington, DC).you who went to New Orleans for the 2011 Reunionmay recall that “CC” was appointed by ThomasJefferson to be the first Governor of the territoryincluded in the Louisiana Purchase.) Alex is the directdescendant of William’s third child, Nathaniel. EdgarAllen Poe’s wife is also buried here.We were treated to spectacular views of the JamesRiver, its falls and rapids, and the remains of bridges.Some of the sites included Belle Island, which housedUnion enlisted prisoners during the War, the leveesystem, Shockoe Slip & Shockoe Bottom. The only 3way railroad crossing in the world is located here. Wetoured Cary Street, built during Reconstruction, wherethe cast iron building fronts help prevent fires.We passed by the oldest house in Richmond, built1737, which is today the Edgar Allen Poe Museum.Then the bus proceeded to Libby Hill, where we wereonce again treated to a wonderful view of the river atthe Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. During the War,Union officers were held at Libby Prison, across thestreet.The next interesting area was the ChimborazoHospital complex, which is today a very large park andMedical Museum. The original buildings were wooden,and none exist today. Since there were 570 battles inVirginia during the War, there were many thousands ofwounded treated in this vast area. The Boy Scouts ofAmerica erected a replica of the Statue of Liberty inthe park in 1950.The tour proceeded to St. John’s Church (Church Hill),the oldest wooden structure in Richmond, built in1741. This Church was the location of Patrick Henry’sfamous “Give me Liberty or Give me Death” speech.The graveyard is the oldest one in Richmond. AlexWaldrop’s ancestor, William Claiborne is interred here.Alex showed us his tombstone. The William Claiborneburied here was born in 1748 and died in 1809. He isthe father of William Charles Cole Claiborne. (Those ofClaiborne ClippingsPage 2

The bus then descended the river banks to theTredegar Iron Works. This industrial area producedmany of the weapons used by the Confederatesoldiers during the war.Overlooking the falls of the James River was our nextstop, Hollywood Cemetery. We visited the Claiborneplots, with tomb marker for Herbert AugustineClaiborne (1819-1902).Lt. Col. Thomas Claiborne, killed in 1683 by an Indianarrow, has recently been honored with a Memorialmarker by the Virginia Society of the Order ofFounders and Patriots of America. General Pickett,Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and President Jefferson Davis areburied in this cemetery, as well as Maj. General JEBStuart and John Randolph.We then proceeded to the famous Jefferson Hotel,where we enjoyed a delicious lunch.Claiborne ClippingsPage 3

The afternoon tour took us to Petersburg. We went tothe Siege Museum, where we saw a film narrated byJoseph Cotton detailing the hardships endured by theresidents during the 10 month Siege of Petersburg.The next stop was the Old Blandford Church andcemetery. The oldest tombstone dates from 1702.We visited the grave of Dr. John Herbert Claiborne,Executive Officer and Chief Surgeon of all thegeneral military hospitals in Petersburg.The interior of the church features 15 stained glasswindows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. We continued onto City Point, which is today Hopewell. We stopped atAppomatox Plantation, where the Epps house servedas Gen. Grant’s Headquarters during the Siege ofPetersburg. (He lived in the small log cabin nearby.)continued on page 5Claiborne ClippingsPage 4

We then went to Bermuda Hundred, where we sawthe monument to Pocahontas and John Rolfe. In1864, Bermuda Hundred was the site of aConfederate victory. Gen PGT Beauregard repulsedan attempt to seize Richmond by the Union forcesArmy of the James, under the command of Maj. Gen.Benjamin Butler.Bermuda Hundred was an early home of the Clibornline of families. The name Cliborn appeared in theBermuda Hundred/Henrico area for the first time inthe land description of the 1733 will of HenryWalthall, as "the ridge where Clyborn lived." Therewas also a reference to a "Clyborn Plantation"located where the Appomattox River meets theJames River.

ANCESTRY RESEARCH: At this point in themeeting, Ms. Cara Griggs, research archivist of theLibrary of Virginia gave a very informative presentation“How to Find Your Civil War Ancestor.” She gave apower point presentation of how to navigate theLibrary of Virginia website: http://www.lva.virginia.govto find individuals. The Library of Virginia has a vastdatabase that includes military services, VirginiaConfederate rosters, and the Confederate Navy.There is also a database for the Virginia militarydead. At the site: http:// www.virginiamemory.com ,the records of pensions and applications for disabilityare kept. Ms. Griggs gave the service, pension, anddisability records of one of our Claiborne ancestorswho served in the Confederate Army as an example.She also informed us of the ongoing projects at theLibrary of Virginia that include maps of battle sitesand the Civil War 150th Anniversary Legacy project.Descendants are encouraged to submit photos,letters, and diaries.The Library of Virginia catalog contains personalrecords, church records, and diaries, along withcollections of the United Daughters of theConfederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.This catalog also contains cemetery records. Federalrecords are also available. These records include:military, Freedman’s Bureau, Pardons 1865-1867,and Confiscation of Property 1863-1865. There isalso access to publications: i.e.: newspapers and TheVeteran, published by the Sons of ConfederateVeterans. Virginia Regimental histories are alsoavailable.Ms. Griggs used two Claibornes as examples of theLVA online catalog search results. The first examplewas Capt. Thomas D. Claiborne, 18th Regiment,Company B. The records show that Capt. Claibornedied while serving in Danville, Va. on Dec 29, 1864.(See attached.) The second Claiborne example wasWilliam P. Claiborne. Records show that Williamapplied for an artificial limb three times in 1866.Later, in 1882, he applied for a disability pension. Ashis health declined, he applied for more assistance in1886.2.

Dr.Claiborne was Executive Officer and Chief Surgeonof all the general military hospitals in Petersburg.In July 1846 he wrote: “I am so glad that you areaway from this home of strife and blood and dangerthat I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude. It isperhaps – this city – the most disagreeable humanhabitation that is left upon this stricken earth.”Claiborne ClippingsPage 6

Dr. Claiborne noted in one letter that his 15-year-oldnephew "is a volunteer and has been doing his dutylike a man." Rev. D.G.C. Butts, whose invocation weuse to open our meetings, was also in Petersburgduring the siege.VI. DNA REPORTDr. Alex Waldrop, PhD. presented an update of theDNA project. Alex reported that the DNA study hasexpanded from the original four family groups. Thereare currently 14 total family groups in the survey.Thanks to the Joseph Kocher results, and thegenealogy of the Cliburn Hall family (through Robertle Franceys de Cliburn), Claiborne origins can now betraced to the 10th century.BANQUETSaturday Evening, October 5, 2013Omni Richmond HotelCorinne Middleton, SecretaryWe gathered in the Shenandoah Room at 6:30 fordrinks and a group picture. We were seated, and theevening began with an invocation by Jane Boylin.Walter Sheffield gave a special toast to our Claiborneancestors. Notables in the room were recognized:author and genealogist John Frederick Dorman, andPast Presidents Jane Boylin, Dr. E. Claiborne Irby, andDuain Claiborne.For future research, Alex is particularly seekingdonors with a direct male line of descent from thesecond generation William (the oldest son of theemigrant) to help determine where Richard Claiborne(1755-1819) and his descendants fit. Alex has foundsome leads from one family group: John Cliborn ofDale Parish (c.1712-c.1764/5), had four sons: Jonas,John, George, and Thomas.He is seeking at least one donor who descends fromThomas. Another donor is particularly desired fromthe descendants of Lasley Cliborn and his wifeCynthia Hopper. Lasley was the youngest son ofJohn (1760-aft.1840) and his wife Mary Cliborn.Donors from the UK and Australia would be greatlyappreciated. Family Tree DNA now tests up to 67markers, and a test for at least 37 is recommended.Alex welcomes any new donors who may wish toparticipate in the study. The meeting was adjournedfor lunch, which was served in the ShenandoahRoom.VII. REUNION SITE: 2015After lunch, there was a discussion about where tohold the next reunion.

In1999, a transcribed copy of this handwritten work wasproduced by a Special Publication Committee made upof Sue Cliborn Forbes, Elsa Diamond, Adele ClaiborneTallman, and Alex Waldrop. The editors were ElsaDiamond and Sue Cliborn Forbes. The transcriptionand typing were done by Elsa Diamond, Sue Forbesand Stefanie Norton Forbes. Proofreaders were ElsaDiamond, Sue Forbes, and Alex Waldrop. Both SueForbes and Alex Waldrop received this Award for otherendeavors, so the unsung hero of this four yearundertaking is Elsa Diamond.

Waite Rawls, Presidentand CEO of the Museum of the Confederacy gave amost delightful and informative speech on the topic“Reflections of Old Richmond.” Mr. Rawls wore theHonor of the Society of the Order of the SouthernCross, established 150 years ago by one of ourancestors, Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne,Claiborne ClippingsPage 7

“the Stonewall of the West.” In a most conversationalmanner, Mr. Rawls spoke a bit about the history ofRichmond from its days as an Indian trading center toits growth as an industrial power and the 3rd largestcity in America in 1860. He described thedemographics of the population, and the almost equalnumbers of black residents.appearance, with mostly original furnishings andcarefully researched wallpapers, fabrics, and carpets.The Museum of the Confederacy recently announcedthat it is teaming up with the American Civil WarCenter to create a new museum at the Tredegar IronWorks Historic Site.One fact that Mr. Rawls mentioned concerned the“Confederate Flag” that has become the symbol of somuch controversy in recent years. This flag is in fact aConfederate Navy flag. If a normal Confederatesoldier of the time saw that flag, he would not haveany idea what it was!BOARD MEETINGSunday, October 6, 20139:00am Canal RoomPatricia Clayborn called the meeting to order. The firstorder of business was the question of digitizing thearchives. Clai Bachmann will receive the archives ather home in Williamsburg in January. A committee willorganize the data and present it to an archivist. Thecommittee members are: Bev Davis, ElizabethRichardson, Curly Moore, Mary Ann Gilman, and EvaHarding.He spoke of the slave traders, and the practice of“renting” slaves. For example, most of the labor forceat the Tredegar Iron Works were “rented” slaves.During the War, each state took care of its ownwounded. Huge hospitals were built. For example,there were 7,500 beds at the Chimborazo HospitalComplex. There are 50,000 Confederate soldiersburied in Richmond. Mr. Rawls described how theMayo lands became Ft. Lee (named for R. E. Lee’sfather “Lighthorse Harry”). Ft. Lee served as a trainingcenter for the Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Rawlssaid that through studies of housing patterns,Richmond was a very racially integrated city in 1860.After the war, that was not the case.Mr. Rawls then described how the Confederate WhiteHouse evolved into the Museum. It was used as theUnion Headquarters after the War. It became aschool. In 1890, during the “Lost Cause” era, therewas a strong desire to preserve the artifacts and tomemorialize the Confederacy. He described the effortsto amass military uniforms, flags, documents, arms,and anything related to the Confederacy. The WhiteHouse became their repository. The response wasenormous; the Museum was opened. The presentMuseum next door to the White House was opened in1976, and houses most of the military memorabilia.The White House has been restored to its 1860The second order of business was a discussion of“posts” info on Facebook page on the ClaiborneSociety web site.The third order of business was the subject of areminder to be sent to keep dues current. DianeClements has crafted “gentle” wording. CorinneMiddleton suggested that a contact information updateshould accompany this reminder. The goal of thisproject is to provide each member with a MembershipDirectory as well as to keep everyone’s dues up todate.The fourth order of business was a discussion of thenext reunion in Charleston. Mary Ann Gilman, CorinneMiddleton, and possibly Deb Peabody will assistSusan with planning and organizing events.Suggestions of activities include: boat trip to Ft.Sumter, visit to Middleton Place and Drayton HallPlantations, and a visit to the submarine Hunley. JaneBoylin suggested keeping costs low. Alex will searchfor Claibornes in Charleston.There was a suggestion that human interest topics,family stories, and anecdotes of interest should beplaced in the Newsletter. Members who wish to sharetheir stories with the membership should beencouraged to do so.The fifth order of business was a discussion to appointa nominating committee to determine the slate ofofficers 2015-2017.

Grass clippings are a good choice in vegetable and annual flower beds that receive annual cultivation to prepare a seedbed. Around leafy vegetables (such as lettuce, spinach, chard) carefully place the mulch at the base of the plant, to avoid getting dry grass clippings stuck to the lettuce leaf. [Figure 6]
