This proved to be quite a task, for upon tracing his own ancestry back to Virginia many different branches of the Threlkeld family were dis­ covered. There are included herein also a number of branches who spell the name differently, such as Threlkel, Thirlkeld, and Thrailkill, but most of these are known to be of the same family. Generally the present generations of these families state that a father or grandfather changed the name for con­ venience in writing, or to make it more euphonious, or to spell it as it is often incorrectly pronounced. There is now in the northern part of England in County Cumberland a very old town named Threlkeld, having an old church called the Threlkeld Church. Near this town of Threl­ keld some families of Threlkelds still live ( 1 9 3 2) and spell their name as above. Three brothers who spell their name Threlkeld came to the United States from this section of England in 1914. Ail of them served in the American Army in the World War, and in recent years have entered the livestock bJisiness near Savona, British Columbia. The early ancestors of nearly all the Threlkelds in the United States came from Virginia and many families later came on to Kentucky. In order to obtain information about these the records of about fifty counties in Virginia and thirty counties in Kentucky were examined personally, and data of value copied and used in this work. In many counties of Vir­ ginia, the records of wills, marriages, and deeds were partially or entirely destroyed or lost during the Civil War, so that it has been impossible to obtain a complete record of the early families. It is believed, however, that a fairly connected record has been made of these families, beginning with the earliest known imigrant of that name. By voluminous correspondence and pei:sonal visits in Vir­ ginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois, requiring many thoua sand miles of travel, the record of later generations has been brought down generally to recent date. However,· due to failure of many to reply to correspondence or to give full data, the history of some branches is not as complete as de­ sired, and no doubt there are some families of Threlkelds that have not been located. An earnest effort has -been made to eliminate errors but doubtless some have crept in unavoidably. The compiler could not have completed this work with­ out .the kind and active assistance of a large number of mem­ bers of the various branches of the family, who were diligent in furnishing data on their branches, and to each and all of these he wishes to extend sincere thanks and appreciation for their kindness and interest. It would be impracticable to name all, hut among those most active in rendering continued as­ sistance are mentioned the following: Professor William L Threlkeld, Lexington, Kentucky, for supplying copy of the ..Story of Threlkeld.. by Professor Samuel G. Oliphant, of Wisconsin, prepared in England under the direction and at the expense of Professor Threlkeld; Mr. Melville C. Threlkeld, of San Francisco, California, for employing at his own expense a genealogist in England to collect extensive data on the family and furnishing a typwritten copy of same, and in other ways being of great assistance in the compilation of this work; Mrs., Lucinda Bruce (Morgan) Green, Los Angeles, California, for furnishing a copy of the "Life Story", Shenandoah Pub~ lishing House, Strasburg, Virginia, 1926, giving much data on the Bruce and Morgan branches of the family; Professor Archie L. Threlkeld, Denver, Colorado, and Miss Fannie Thrailkill, Minneapolis, Minnesota, for furnishing much valu­ able data on the Threlkeld family in England and on their own branches; and Dr. George W. Threlkeld, Dwight, Ill., for furnishing photographic views from town of Threlkeld Eng­ land. Thanks are also extended to the following for furnishing data on their own or other branches that otherwise could not easily have been obtained: Mrs. lolene Hawkins, Flemings­ burg, Kentucky; Mr. Horace Herndon, Owenton; Mrs. Charles F. Jones, Lexington; Mrs. George R. Secrest, Carlisle; Dr. Elmer C.

    Jubilee Digest Briefing Note for Cartmel and Furness

    Furness Peninsula Department of History, Lancaster University Victoria County History: Cumbria Project ‘Jubilee Digests’ Briefing Note for Furness Peninsula In celebration of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Queen has decided to re-dedicate the VCH. To mark this occasion, we aim to have produced a set of historical data for every community in Cumbria by the end of 2012. These summaries, which we are calling ‘Jubilee Digests’, will be posted on the Cumbria County History Trust’s website where they will form an important resource as a quick reference guide for all interested in the county’s history. We hope that all VCH volunteers will wish to get involved and to contribute to this. What we need volunteers to do is gather a set of historical facts for each of the places for which separate VCH articles will eventually be written: that’s around 315 parishes/townships in Cumberland and Westmorland, a further 30 in Furness and Cartmel, together with three more for Sedbergh, Garsdale and Dent. The data included in the digests, which will be essential to writing future VCH parish/township articles, will be gathered from a limited set of specified sources. In this way, the Digests will build on the substantial progress volunteers have already made during 2011 in gathering specific information about institutions in parishes and townships throughout Cumberland and Westmorland. As with all VCH work, high standards of accuracy and systematic research are vital. Each ‘Jubilee Digest’ will contain the following and will cover a community’s history from the earliest times to the present day: Name of place: status (i.e.

    G:\Trimble Families, July 22, 1997.Wpd

    Trimble Families a Partial Listing of the Descendants of Some Colonial Families Revised Eugene Earl Trimble July 22, 1997 1 PREFACE This Trimble record deals primarily with the ancestral line of the writer and covers the period from the time of arrival of James Trimble (or Turnbull; born ca. 1705; died 1767) in America which may have been prior to March 11, 1734, until in most instances about 1850. Some few lines are, however, brought up to the present. The main purpose of this account is to present the earliest generations. With the census records from 1850 on, enumerating each individual, it is much easier to trace ancestors and descendants. Any one who has researched a family during the l700's knows how limited the available data are and how exceeding difficult the task is. One inevitably reaches the point where the search becomes more conjecture than fact, but man is an inquisitive creature and the lure of the unknown is irresistible. No attempt has been made to give all possible references. For this Trimble line and other Trimble lines the reader is referred to the 62 page manuscript on the Trimble Family by James Augustus LeConte (born Adairsville, Ga., July 19, 1870; died Atlanta, Ga., July 18, 1941) whose papers are at the University of Georgia at Athens; the Trimble Family research located in the Manuscript Department of The University of Virginia, by Kelley Walker Trimble (born Feb. 21, 1884; died Route l, Staunton, Va., after Feb. 12, 1955); the Trimble and related research and writings of Mrs. Jerome A.

This study proceeds in two parts. The first part of this study provides an empirical analysis of contextual and candidate specific factors thought to affect the way in which gender stereotypes surface during gubernatorial campaigns and how they affect women candidates accordingly.

In July of that year he was ordained by the Presbytery of St. Lawrence, and assigned as a missionary to the little towns of Evans Mills and Antwerp in Jefferson County, New York. Under the vivid preaching of this ex-lawyer a wave of revivalism began to sweep through the whole region.^ Following the revival of 1824-27, Finney carried the religious awakening into Philadelphia, New York City, and Rochester, New York.
