Elmore Fraleigh

**Elmore Fraleigh** (July 31, 1909 - April 3, 1995) was the owner of the Rose Hill Farm in Red Hook, New York, one of the oldest continually owned family farms in the region. The apple farm was owned by his family since 1798. He was also the District Deputy Grand Master of the Red Hook Masons from 1949 to 1950.

Fraleigh was born on July 31, 1909 in New York, the son of Curtis Fraleigh and Fanny Elmore. He graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in mathematics and physics. Graduating at the age of 22, he and his classmates noted that jobs weren't plentiful, as the country was in a depression. "I came back to the farm in 1931, when there were no jobs available outside, and have worked on it ever since," he said in a January 1983 report. He worked with his father, Curtis Fraleigh, to raise sheep, poultry, and fruits. Father and son successfully managed Rose Hill through the 1930s and World War II until Elmore took the reins after his father's death in 1944.

In his 50 years on the farm, he saw a switch from the labor-intensive operation dependent on the horse to a machinery-intensive one using technology, rather than brute force. In the 1974 Dutchess County Fair, he was the superintendent of the fruits division, and showed apples, plums, pears, peaches, and grapes. In his entire career on the farm, Fraleigh snapped up dozens of blue ribbons for his produce at county fairs and handed down the operation to his middle son. To supplement farm income, Elmore served as a Red Hook town justice for some 20 years, worked at the Red Hook Cold Storage at the post office, and drove a Red Hook Central School bus. He was a member of the Farm Bureau and Red Hook Grange as well.

Albert VII, Archduke of Austria

**Albert VII** (November 13, 1559 - July 13, 1621) was the ruling Archduke of Austria for a few months in 1619 and, jointly with his wife, sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands between 1598 and 1621. Prior to this, he had been a cardinal, archbishop of Toledo, viceroy of Portugal, and Governor General of the Netherlands. He succeeded his brother as reigning archduke of Lower and Upper Austria, but abdicated the same year, making it the shortest (and often ignored) reign in Austrian history.

Albert was born on November 13, 1559 as the fifth son of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor and Maria of Spain. He pursued education in the Spanish Court in 1570, where he was appointed cardinal by the Pope on March 3, 1577. After the dynastic union of Spain with Portugal, Albert became the first viceroy of the kingdom and its overseas empire in 1583. In 1595, he was sent to Brussels to succeed his elder brother as Governor General of the Habsburg Netherlands, making his entry on February 11, 1596. His first priority was restoring Spain's military position in the Low Countries, as Spain was facing the combined forces of the Dutch Republic, England, and France. He surprised his enemies by capturing Calais in April 1596. He resigned as a cardinal in July 1598 and married soon after.

The first half of the reign of Albert and his wife Isabella was dominated by war. His reputation was damaged as a military commander when he was defeated in 1600 by the Dutch. Campaigns and the threat of diplomatic violence induced the Dutch Republic to accept a ceasefire in April 1607 and finally the conclusion of the Twelve Years' Truce in Antwerp on April 9, 1609. During the subsequent years of peace, Albert's health deteriorated markedly in the closing months of 1620. As the Twelve Years' Truce would expire the next April, he devoted his last energies to securing its renewal. In order to reach this goal, he was prepared to make far-reaching concessions, but neither the Spanish monarchy, nor the Dutch Republic, took his pleas for peace seriously.

Albert died on July 13, 1621, which coincided with the resumption of hostilities.

## Family

Albert married Isabella Clara Eugenia on April 18, 1599. As the years passed, it became clear that the couple would never have children. When his health suffered in 1613-14, steps were taken to ensure the accession of the Spanish crown in the Netherlands.

He was invited to Mendon, Massachusetts, on October 4, 1680, where he lived for many years. On April 7, 1684, he was finally settled, his chimney rectified, and his wheat, Indian corn, butter, pork, beef, and tallow all pledged ready for use. From time to time during his pastorate, he received distinguished honors, as he was appointed in 1692 by the General Court as chaplain in the army sent into Canada to carry out the worship of God in that expedition. In 1698, he was instructed by the commissioners for the propagation of the Gospel to visit the Indian plantations in Massachusetts. Returning to work in Mendon, Massachusetts by 1709, he had little trouble in the church during his pastorate, but he was seriously annoyed by outsiders.

Henry was born in 951 as the son of Henry I, Duke of Bavaria and Judith of Bavaria. Henry succeeded his father as Duke at the age of four, under the guardianship of his mother. Upon Emperor Otto I's death in 983, Henry relied on his ties to the South German duchies of Swabia and Bavaria as well as to the adjacent Kingdom of Burgundy. In 974, Duke Henry resolved to oust Otto II from the throne. With support of his sister Hadwig, he forged alliances with Bavarian and Saxon nobles. In fear of a rebellion, Otto II captured Henry in Ingelheim, but in 976, Henry managed to escape and instigated a revolt in Bavaria. It was defeated, however, when Otto II occupied Regensburg and stripped Henry of his duchy. Following the War of the Three Henries in 978, the deposed duke was placed under arrest.

Henry II was released from captivity after Otto II died from malaria in Rome in 983. He once again tried to usurp the German throne when he abducted the infant Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor, and had himself proclaimed King of the Romans. However, he lost the support of the German dukes. In 985, he finally submitted to Empress Theophanu and regained Bavaria in 989, where he died six years later.

First of the Ottonian Dynasty of German kings and emperors, he is generally considered to be the founder and first king of the medieval German state, known until then as East Francia. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nests when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king.

Henry was born in 876 as the son of Otto I, Duke of Saxony, and his wife, Hedwiga. He became Duke of Saxony upon his father's death in 912. An able ruler, he continued to strengthen the position of the duchy within the developing Kingdom of Germany, frequently in conflict with his neighbors to the South, the dukes of Franconia. On December 23, 918, Conrad I of Germany, died. Before he died, he had recommended Henry as his successor, but the dukes and magnates had formalized matters by acclaiming him as king, since they wanted to avoid establishing the notion that the kingship was not theirs to award.

Henry extended royal power eastward by fighting against the Slavs and Magyars in the early 920s. The Magyars repeatedly raided Germany, but Henry, having captured a Hungarian prince, managed to arrange a ten-year-truce in 926, though he was forced to pay tributes. By doing so, he and the German dukes gained time to fortify towns and train a new elite cavalry force. During the truce with the Magyars, Henry subdued the Slavs and finally refused to pay the regular tribute in 932. When the Magyars began raiding again, he led a unified army of all German duchies to victory at the Battle of Riade in 933, thus stopping the Hungarian advance. He understood that the best way to keep the East Frankish magnates in line was to increase his personal wealth so that he could hire soldiers to serve him and free him of dependence on his ducal vassals. By moving into eastern Europe, he was able to place numerous Slavic and Magyar territories under his own personal leadership and to amass a large fortune.

On July 2, 936, Henry the Fowler died.

Annette (McCartney) Chatfield

**Annette McCartney** (April 9, 1860 - February 3, 1961) was the head of the Chatfield News Agency in New Britain, Connecticut, and a longtime resident of the city. She was widely known at the turn of the century for operating a news stand and stationary store in the downtown area.

McCartney was born on April 9, 1860 in Rockville, Connecticut, as the only child of John McCartney and Rachel Louden. She came to New Britain, Connecticut, at a young age and shook the hand of Abraham Lincoln as he toured Connecticut.

In 1890, she began managing the Chatfield News Company in the downtown section of New Britain, Connecticut. She managed the company at 285 Main Street in New Britain for 29 years. On June 20, 1919, she sold the Chatfield News Company to Mohill Brothers. She became a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church and retired soon after. She lived at 1358 New Britain Avenue with her family.

After retiring, she celebrated her 100th birthday on April 9, 1960 at New Britain Memorial Hospital. She received congratulatory messages from the Governor of Connecticut as well. On February 3, 1961, she died at New Britain Memorial Hospital, just shy of her 101st birthday.

George Percy (Virginia governor)

**George Percy** (September 4, 1580 - c. 1627) was an English explorer, author, and early colonial Governor of Virginia. He was one of the original settlers of Jamestown.

Percy was born in England on September 4, 1580 as the youngest son of Henry Percy, 8th Earl of Northumberland and Lady Katherine Neville. He was sickly for much of his life, possibly suffering from epilepsy or severe asthma. He graduated from Oxford University in 1597. While at university, he gained admission to Gloucester Hall and the Middle Temple. Percy's vocation was in the military. His first service came in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain in the early 1600s, known as the Dutch Revolt. He also served in Ireland. He was part of the first group of 105 English colonists to settle the Jamestown Colony. He departed England in December 1606 and kept a journal of his voyage. He arrived in Virginia in April 1607 and recorded the struggles of the colonists to cope with the American environment, disease, and the Powhatan Native Americans. "Thus we lived for the space of five months in this miserable distress," he wrote in his journal, "not having five able men to man our bulwarks upon any occasion."

He was initially denied a seat on the Virginia Council. Nevertheless, he took the lead in the early life of the colony, taking part in the expedition to the James River falls in May and June 1607. He held little power in Jamestown initially, but when John Smith departed the colony in 1609, Percy assumed the presidency of the colony. However, his persistent illness kept him from executing his office, leaving the duties to others. It was during his tenure that the colony suffered through the Starving Time in the winter of 1609-1610. He accomplished little as governor, other than the construction of Fort Algernon at Old Point Comfort. In June 1610, Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr arrived in Jamestown and with a commission to serve as the colony's governor.

In August 1610, Percy was instructed with seventy men to attack the Paspahegh and Chickahominy Indians. The force ravaged the Indians' settlements, burning their buildings, decimating their crops, and indiscriminately killing men, women, and children. He also led the successful defense of the Jamestown fort against an Indian attack and earned the praise of De La Warr. When the Governor returned to England in March 1611, he appointed Percy to lead the colony in his absence. His term as Governor lasted until April 22, 1612, when he departed for England. In 1615, Percy propsoed an expedition to Guiana, but found no supporters. In 1620, he sold his four shares in the Virginia Company and returned to military service, as he served as the comander of a company in the Low Countries in 1627. He died soon after.

Percy married Anne Floyd.

Henry Brown (Stockbridge, Massachusetts merchant)

**Henry Brown** (June 3, 1773 - December 10, 1843) was a merchant in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Brown was born on June 3, 1773 in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, as the son of Samuel Brown, Jr. and Abigail Burr. He grew up in Stockbridge and entered Yale College in the late 1780s, but ill health compelled him to leave in his sophomore year. He engaged in mercantile business in Stockbridge, where he was a colonel, and a very enterprising and useful citizen. He was a Representative from Stockbridge in 1809.

After his first wife's death in 1807, he removed to Ohio in 1816 and purchased Township No. 6 in the 19th Range - now known as Brownhelm, Lorain County, Ohio. Having chosen land along the lakeshore, he returned home to Stockbridge and entered into a contract with the Connecticut Land Company for this township. In the fall of 1816, several men accompanied him to this new land. After erecting a log cabin near the lakeshore, Col. Brown returned to Massachusetts, leaving his men to make preparations for the families moving out to the town in 1817. He was appointed Assistant Judge at the organization of the County, and was one of the original and most active Trustees of the Western Reserve College.

On December 10, 1843, Brown died in Brownhelm, Ohio, his namesake.

Winslow was born on October 18, 1595 in Worcestor, England, as the son of Edward Winslow and Magdalene Oliver. He was baptized two days later and grew up in the region. He spent his early adulthood traveling in the Low Countries, and subsequently became aquainted with the Pilgrims' church in Leiden, Netherlands. At the time of his first marriage in 1618, he was a printer in London at the time. It is quite possible that he was assisting others in their publishing of religious books that were illegal in England. Winslow and his wife embarked on the *Mayflower* to Plymouth, New England, in 1620. Winslow quickly became one of the more prominent men in the colony as he was on many of the early explorations of Cape Cod, and led a number of expeditions to meet and trade with the Native Americans. He wrote several first-hand accounts of these early years in the 1620s.

Winslow became involved in defending the Plymouth and later Massachusetts Bay Colonies from their opponents and adversaries as well in England. He made several trips back and forth between England and Massachusetts in 1624, 1630, and 1634. On one occasion, he was arrested and thrown into the Fleet Prison in London, on grounds that he had performed marriage ceremonies without being ordained. He returned to England shortly after the English Civil War, and published a couple of pamphlets in the defense of the New England colonies. In Plymouth, he held a number of political offices - he himself was elected Governor of Plymouth on three occasions: 1633, 1636, and 1644. After Winslow returned to England, he was on several Parliamentary committees.

Winslow died in May 1655 at sea between Hispaniola and Jamaica while serving as commissioner for Oliver Cromwell on a military expedition to retake the island of Hispaniola.
