INTRODUCTION. This is a scan and transcript of a bunch of old family letters from about 1820 to 1880. In the late 1870's, my 3rd great grandfather Henry Claydon packed up the family in Solihull, England (near Birmingham) and moved to Greenfield Center, New York, USA. Two others in the Claydon family came to New York before Henry: James Claydon, brother of Henry's father Thomas in 1848, and Thomas, son on James' brother William. James and 2nd wife Charity Rowland corresponded with Rowland/Greene and Claydon relatives in the USA and back in England. The letters contained a huge amount of family information that enabled the building of a detailed family tree. Some of the letters imply or describe life in England and the USA western frontier, including family, farming life, and religious life.
-----------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
James Claydon, the eldest member of the family in the USA, settled in Greenfield Center, New York. He left a variety of documents, including deeds, contracts, receipts, and letters. His 2nd wife, Charity Rowland, had a number of relatives in the Greenfield area, and further in the pioneer west who sent them letters. A few letters survived to the present day:
Letter from son of James' sister Sarah, Philip Claydon, living in Hendon near London:
My Verrey Dear [Uncle] [a section has been cut out]
I received your letter & with it the Book for which I thank you kindley. I must confess to you I thought it strange you did not write before we many times said no doubt you were dead, but was thankful when I received your letter to learn you where still alive & well which I am happey to say we all are has to coming over to see you, nothing would [end of page]
... pleasure than
... not begrudge
... the distance or
... with you.
... called at the N.Y
... But said there were no letters for him he his gone 3000 miles up the country but I don't know where to. Well now about myself. I thought I had made all A. B. C about me & mine, but from your letter I have not so I will try now. Well about 17 years ago 2 wealthey famileys of the name Spalding came to live at Hendon & they wanted a coachman & the lady took a fancey to me & I have been in the service of H. B. Spalding 16 years come April next. We ware living at [end of page]
Hendon nearley 8 years when I had been with them 7 years. He presented me with a very handsum Bible & wrote in it 'presented to me for my Christian character & faithfull services', then between the 7 & 8 years they removed to London but said if I would come with them he would buy a house for me but I have to pay 26L per year for it when I had been with them 14 years they gave me a handsom marble clock which strikes the half hours & house worth about 12 guineas when at Hendon we had a little farm- cows, 4 hogs, pigs & poltry & I had the entire management of all & I was ill just before we left there & the gentleman & lady said if I had died they would sell everything off has they could not [end of page]
endure to see any one else about it. I was not there so you see what they think about me & he told me when we came to London if we both should live in a few years he intended to buy a farm & let me do has I liked with it, for since we have been in town we have had no stock so in the spring we shall leave town & go into the country again about 15 or 20 miles & keep cows & stock again as before & of corse they can't go without Claydon has he known nothing about stock himself so all his left to me to do has I like but I must tell you he his a thorough christian & when he has taken the chair at the meetings in London he calls on the platform Mr. P. Claydon to stand up by his side to address the people so I must leave you to draw your own conclusion [end of page]
I thought I should have said all I had to say in 3 sheets but you asked me so many questions that I cannot say all you ask me about soul maters for which I thank you has I often in my prayers look towards Greenfield Center for you, you say make all sure for eternity well I believe it his the duty of every one before they have this world to know that all his right for heaven I know there are some preachers that say we shall never be free from sin while in the body, but to my mind, there preaching & the teaching of the Bible don't agree for that says has the tree falls so it layes pointing to man has he dies so he remains holey, holey still unholey unholy still so that if we are not to be free from sin hear I want to know where we are & if the blood of Christ don't cleanse from all sin I want to know what done [end of page]
his Frederick I have aprenticed him to the trade of gas & bell hanging & range & hot water apparatus. I paid 20 guineas for him. He his the youngest & his in his 18 year. He his very clever at his trade. I have heard nothing from neigher of my uncles for a long time. My uncle John's daughter was in town about a year ago & she came & stopt 2 or 3 days with me & he was very well then. I wrote to my Uncle Thomas nearly 2 years ago & gave him an invitation to come & see me and he said he would but he has never been & I have lost his address but he lives in Warwickshire, but I have not had an opportunity of getting my sons likenesses but as soon has ever I can you may depend you shall have them which I hope will be by the next time I write to you. Mr. & Mrs. Benett, Tarker Thorp & Cox are all well & desire to be kindly remembered to you [end of page]
Dear Dear Uncle now I will tell you about my family. I have 3 sons James & George & Frederick. James was apprenticed but did not like his trade, so I spoke to my master about him & he took him at once into their firm & now there his a place for him for life if he behaves himself. Wages 24s per week but he will have a rise if he goes on allright. He his married & one chile a boy, now there his George has strong has a lion almost he would go into the armey but he has had quite enough of a soldiers life & has I shall want 2 or 3 men when we go into the country. I thought it would be a good chance for him & he would be just the man for me but it will require 30L to buy him of, well the next [end of page]
but I believe it done, this his what I think about our Father. Do we want the pardon of all sin he his more willing to give than we are to receive, do we want to be holey he hath called us to holiness he wills that I should holy be do we want to be clean he says I will be thou clean, yea that he his willing to do far more exceeding abundantly for us more than we can ask or think, I hope both me and my dear wife if we never have the happiness of seeing your face again in the flesh we shall meet you in the world of spirits where parting will be no more for ever. I should like to say much more but space & time won't permit so I must conclude and believe us to remain your affectionate Nephew & Niece, P. E. Claydon
[ps.] I have read the Book through you sent me & some of it 2 or 3 times & I think it his an excelent Book and I hope I have writen plain this ... [same cutout as page 1]

O so vast,O so mighty
The Great River rolls to the sea
Flowers do waves thrash
Heroes do sand smash
When all the dreams drain
Same are loss and gain
Green mountains remain
Under pink sunsets
Hoary fishers and woodcutters
Along the banks,find calm water
In autumn moon or in spring wind
By the wine jars,fill porcelain
Discuss talk and tale
Only laugh and gale

Lyrics from Blue Monday by New Order.
I love that song, it came out 19 days and 10 years before i was born, intresting fact that, haha.
Blue Monday is a name given to a date stated, to be the most depressing day of the year, that day im afriad is today this year. I thought it wasn't that bad, had a physics module test though :/
*HUGS* to everyone who is feeling blue today.
I tend to have the garfield approach to mondays, theyre undescribably horrible days haha.
A hand pulled linocut of an African elephant, printed on a page from the elephant chapter of Peter Capstick's Death In The Long Grass, a book writen about the strange world of 1970s safari hunting. I found a beaten up old copy so thought I'd try something different with it. I like to think this elephant is getting its own back through obscuring some of the words

Bowhill.
The Hundred of Bowhill in the SA County of Buccleuch( named after the Duke of Buccleuch’s residence in Scotland) was proclaimed in 1893 from the Chucka Bend pastoral station which was established in 1848 by William Wainwright on the left bank of the Murray River northwards from Chucka Bend. Chucka Bend was a great bend in the River Murray like the other big bend at Morgan. Probably not much happened at Chucka Bend station until the river steamers began plying the River Murray in 1854. Chucka Bend as a prosperous wool station by the 1870s with a large woolshed down near the River Murray. When put up for lease in 1888 Chucka Bend station covered 700 square miles. The river flats were infested with rabbits by 1893 and so the government employed workers to fence the river flats with a vermin proof fence. The new town of Bowhill developed on the area once occupied by the station homestead right on the banks of the River Murray in 1910 despite some settlement since 1893. Parts of the Hundred were surveyed in 1893 with land to the north and further from the River Murray being surveyed later in 1897 and again more land in 1904. Land was sold as freehold or on perpetual lease to farmers, many of whom were of German descent. About one third of the lands were considered arable and most of the Hundred was not fully cleared ready for agriculture until 1920. The properties here were large and ranged from around 1,000 acres to 5,000 acres. The early German settlers at Chucka Bend built their first Lutheran Church at Bowhill in 1891 with a local pastor. Some of the early German families were: Weidenhofer, Fiedler, Bartusch, Dohnt and Gipphard.
In 1893 local people petitioned the government for £75 to erect a school. It was 1895 before a tin and iron schoolroom was erected and Helen Young began as the first teacher. This early school room was used as a public hall too as a lecture was provided in the Bowhill assembly hall in June 1895 and the Bowhill Mutual Improvement Society was formed in September 1895 in the assembly hall. A branch of the Agricultural Bureau was also established at Bowhill with its meeting in the assembly hall. In 1903 this iron and timber school was replaced with a stone school by a group of local residents who included the families of Dohnt, Whitfield, Tyler, Weyland and Drogemuller. Drogemuller was the man who built the school room with local helpers. In 1897 children from the school planted trees at the Bowhill cemetery for their arbor day but the cemetery was not officially gazetted by the government until 1898.The first of many Bowhill agricultural shows was held in 1898 and the first Primitive Methodist church service was held in the hall at Bowhill in 1899. Anglican services were also held in the hall/school room. This Bowhill School/hall closed in 1941 (Bowhill East School opened in 1940) and the school eventually passed from the Education Department to the District Council of Marne. Meetings were still held in it until it was sold as a residence in 2006. In 2006 a fine new district hall was erected in Bowhill beside the tennis courts and sports facilities.
The first Post Office service began at Bowhill in 1895 but town services came much later. In 1910 as the town of Bowhill emerged it had the school, a saddlers shop and by 1911 it also had a general store/Post Office and a banking agency down by the town loading wharf. The wharf was where the farmers sent their bagged wheat and baled wool on paddle steamers down the Murray River to the rail head at Murray Bridge. Also in that year the Lutherans replaced their original 1891 church with a new larger church which is still in use. On the hill above the settlement is the town cemetery (1897) which is one of the larger cemeteries in the whole region. Near to this is the significant local employer of today, the Bowhill Engineering factory which employs around 20 people.
I am looking , and hoping that maybe someone can tell me a litte bit about this watch. I e-mailed CYMA and the reply was that their records only go back to 1978 because of a take-over I think it has what looks like a stainless steel case, has a brushed steel finished dial, and markers at every minute around the outside of the dial, and every five minutes set towards the inside of the minute markers. It has a sweep second hand.
Just below the 12'o'clock marker is the letter 'C' (the cyma logo), and under the letter 'C' is the name 'CYMA', under which it says 'AUTOMATIC' in smaller, upper case letters.
Just above the six-thirty marker is a date window, below it , writen in small upper case letters is the word 'swiss', and above it, there is the word 'navystar' in small itallic lower case letters, i am sorry that i can't decifer what colour any of the writing or the minute markers are, except, i think the five minute markers are two-tone silver.
I am extremely interested in the watch's history etc, and would be most happy if you could help in any way.

This memorial stone tells the remarkable story of one man's courage and determination. The story of Calum's Road is really impressive. Roger Hutchinson has writen a marvellous book entitied "Calum's Road", in that book he accounts how this man built his own road. Malcom MacLeod simply wanted a road from Brochel to his house in Arnish a distance just short of two miles. The local authorities dithered and stubbornly refused to grant his request. So Calum, as he was known in his native laguage of Gaelic, took matters into his own hands. Over a period of ten years with little more than a barrow, pick and shovel he started to build his own road. The council have since adopted and widened the road to single track, put passing places in and have tarred the road.
Like clockwork, late afternoon storms would approach. Sometimes rain, sometimes not so much. It didn't matter. Time to head back to the room for a scotch. I love vacation. Riu Hotel, Panama.

The flag of Khorasan
Khorasan is a land that is today known as Afghanistan, Afghanistan means the land of Afghans, Awghan, Patans or Pashtoons also spelt as Pashtun. These names are variants of one name, Afghan. It should be noted that Afghans are a great people however, the modern day Afghanistan is a mosaic of various ethnicities and the name Afghanistan is misleading and possessive. It is not representative of all. The name issue has become a fault line through which foreigners have divided our people and managed to use one group against the other. Today Many Muslims wonder why other ethnic groups are not fighting against the current occupation. I went to the north of the country and put this question to many people. The answer was that in the past we fought against the soviets and when the war finished a large number of Afghans (Pashtoons) did not want to fairly share power with us on the ground that this is Afghanistan the land of Afghans, Awghans or Pashtoons, not the land of Tajiks or Uzbeks or Hazaras. So they say this time we are not going to help in the fight, we have our area under our control and that’s what matters. As you can see my dear brothers possessiveness (انحصار طلبی ) has caused trouble amongst us, this situation has prolonged occupation. We have to bridge this gap and restore everyone’s confidence in the future of the country by making all the people a share holder in our land. Therefore I propose a radical solution, at first it looks difficult but with fair mindedness and love of Islam we could over come our long held prejudices and see the logic of this proposal, Insha’Allah.
I advocate a name change that is to go back to the neutral and inclusive name of Khorasan which was once the name of this country prior to the rise of nation state. Khorasan means the land of sunrise it does not belong to any single ethnic group. Remember that the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) knew our land by the name Khorasan. Therefore I support Khorasan and this is its future emblem and flag. Let’s pray to Allah that we be that nation which rises from this region who invite people to righteousness and warn of vice. Let us embrace unity and diversity, let’s not think that unity means singularity of culture, language and ethnicity. We must be united in purpose, in believing that Allah is one and that Islam is the religion chosen by Allah for humanity, and that justice is the underlying principle of Shariah and governance. We can do well by creating a system of federalism that fits our situation.
Let’s resists occupation, invasion and interference. Let’s rise as Muslims of Khorasan and be a beacon of light for humanity and the needy people of the world. Let’s not think that Islam is a religion of Muslims. Islam is a religion of humanity. Let’s be developed and progressive, let us embrace revolution in the face of stagnation, let us embrace martyrdom, in the face of humiliation and let us embrace knowledge in the face of ignorance. Let’s read as the Quran has commanded us and let’s speak as the Quran has commanded us. These two methods are our primary method and when logic is blocked by the mountains of arrogance and ignorance we shall call to arm.
This is the method of our beloved Mohammed (pbuh) the final messenger of Allah (swt)to humanity, and this is the method that was acted upon by his companions under the leadership of the four rightly guided Caliphs.
The meaning of this emblem,
The sun depicts the land of Khorasan (the land of sunrise); the scale at the bottom shows the underlying principle of government which is Justice based on Shariah, on top inside the sun circle is the verse from the Quran which reads:
“O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he is one of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Aware (13 Al-Hujraat)”
This is to show the people that no racism is tolerated in Islam. At the bottom part of the inner sun’s circle there is another verse from the Quran which again promotes tolerance and creates responsibility for all, it reads:
“And among His Signs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge. (22 Al-Room)”
This verse is to install in all the love of all races colours and the feeling of responsibility in preserving diversity, protecting the environment and life as well as highlighting the importance of Knowledge.
At the center of the emblem is a Mosque building which depicts eastern architecture, it is a sign of civilization that is centered around obedience to Allah, on top of the Mosque is the eternal truth written in Arabic which says:
“There is not deity (god) except Allah (the only G-d) and Mohammed is the messenger of Allah”
On the dome of the Mosque it reads:
“Allah is the Great”
This is to remind everyone that greatness is not in tall buildings but in the worship of Allah.
At the bottom of the Mosque is a cog wheel depicting industrialization as the material engine of civilization. The wheat on the two sides of the Mosque point to food security as the swards shows military security. Between the two wheat stalks is writen Khorasan.The whole of the emblem is white while the flag is black.
