| 10. | Dr. Edward Blair Cabell was born on 29 May 1788 in Repton, , Virginia, USA (son of Col. Joseph Cabell, Jr. and Pocahontas Rebecca Bolling); died on 29 Aug 1850 in , , Missouri, USA; was buried in Keytesville, Chariton Co., Missouri, USA. Notes:
Edward was a descendant of King Powhatan through Pocahontas and John Rolfe.
After Edward and Harriett married, they settled in Barren County, Kentucky. In 1818, they moved to Missouri and settled in what is now Chariton County, 200 miles north of St. Louis at a place 60 miles west of Daniel Boone, the great pioneer, and immediately upon the borders of the Indian tribes, with whom they established the most friendly relations.
The Indians settled their small causes among themselves, but their hard ones they brought to Edward. Edward said, "I never would act except at the request, and in the presence, of the head chief and his councillors, who would stand by and witness the proceedings with the utmost gravity. Without the shadow of legal authority, I would take my seat under the shade of some large tree, surrounded by 50 to 100 Indians. The matter of dispute was brought to the spot,--whether an ox, horse, bows, arrows, or guns, etc. The plaintiff came forward, or some one for him, and set forth his claims, etc.; then his witnesses were called and examined first by him, then by the defendant. Next the defendant came forward, made his statement, and gave his reasons for holding the property; then his witnesses were called and examined, first by him, then by the plaintiff." He said they all spoke with such brevity, and so directly to the point, that he rarely ever found any difficulty in giving judgment. He always wrote his decision down on paper and read it aloud three times in the hearing of all present, and then handed it to the head chief, who would hold it up and repeat its contents word for word, although he did not know a letter of the alphabet; then he would announce it in the Indian language, and have the property delivered to the right owner. Then there would be signs of satisfaciton: "Ough! ough! good man! good judge! good heart! good head! He wise: he talk to Great Spirit!" The Indians may have known that he was descended from King Powhatan, the father of Pocohontas.
He was elected first clerk of Chariton County, and soon after, clerk of the circuit court.
The following letter was written by Major Charles Yancey, of Traveller's Rest, Buckingham County, Virginia to "His Excellency President Tyler":
"February 18, 1842. Dear Sir,--Permit me to introduce to your notice Mr. Edward B. Cabell, of Missouri, who, I presume, is now in the city of Washington, having left here a few days since. Mr. Cabell seeks the office of Register of the Land Office, which is contemplated to be established in what is called Platte country in Missouri. I think I can say he is a man of integrity, which is hazarding much to say in these days of great moral depravity. You know the Cabell family, and, I presume, the Bolling; his mother was sister to Powhatan and Senacous, and he married a daughter of Joseph J. Monroe. You now have his heraldry; and I rate people very much by their stock, as I do the blooded horse. He is honest, moral, sober, and of business habits. If you cannot do better, take him."
Harriett and Edward were members of the Methodist church for many years. Edward was known as "Uncle Ned" by nearly everyone he knew. He was the friend of the friendless, and his house was the well-known home of the stranger. They took charge of several children whose parents died in extreme want, and raised them from infancy as tenderly as they did their own and finally provided them with comfortable homes.
