Introduction “[I]n the arrogance of our conviction that we would have done better than he did in a single case, we exempt ourselves from any duty to pay attention to the many cases where he shows himself to be better than us.” 1 — Murray Kempton, New York Newsday , November 27, 1983 EDWARD MOORE KENNEDY AND I share the same first name; we also share the somewhat uncommon nickname of Ted for Edward. And for the first two decades of my life, that was roughly the extent of my knowledge about the man who has been my state’s senior senator for my entire life, all but seven years of my mother’s life, and more than half of my grandmother’s life. Kennedy has been a member of the Senate for so long (45 of his 75 years) that it seems he could have been born in the cloakroom, though he was actually born in Boston on February 22, 1932, the youngest child of Joseph Patrick and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. -

Legends of Loudoun by Harrison Williams
Legends of Loudoun By Harrison Williams Legends of Loudoun by Harrison Williams CHAPTER I THE EARLIER INDIANS Loudoun County, Virginia The county of Loudoun, as now constituted, is an area of square miles, lying in the extreme northwesterly corner of Virginia, in that part of the Old Dominion known as the Piedmont and of very irregular shape, its upper apex formed by the Potomac River on the northeast and the Blue Ridge Mountains on the northwest, pointing northerly. It is a region of equable climate, with a mean temperature of from to degrees, seldom falling in winter below fahrenheit zero nor rising above the upper nineties during its long summer, thus giving a plant-growing season of about two hundred days in each year. The county exhibits the typical topography of a true piedmont, a rolling and undulating land broken by numerous streams and traversed by four hill-ranges—the Catoctin, the Bull Run and the Blue Ridge mountains and the so-called Short Hills. These ranges are of a ridge-like character, with no outstanding peaks, although occasionally producing well-rounded, cone-like points. The whole area is generously well watered not only by the Potomac, flowing for thirty-seven miles on its border and the latter's tributary Goose Creek crossing the southern portion of the county, but also by many smaller creeks or, as they are locally called, "runs"; and by such innumerable springs of most excellent potable water that few, if any, of the farm-fields lack a natural water supply for livestock. These conditions most happily combine to create a climate that for healthfulness and all year comfortable living is without peer on the eastern seaboard and, indeed, truthfully may be said to be among the best and most enjoyable east of the Mississippi. -

The Pamunkey Hendrick Chronicles 1690-1800
The Pamunkey Hendrick Chronicles 1690-1800 Version 5.0 December 2012 The Chronicles are a chronologically-sequenced collection of records relating to Hance Hendrick, a 17th Century settler of the Pamunkey Neck of Virginia, and his descendants. The earliest records, which are almost exclusively from Virginia sources, are arranged into “chapters” by time period. Some of the most recent editions of the Chronicles include separate “chapters” of records for individual counties and states. These Chronicles are built on the substantial foundation provided by Dr. John Scott Davenport, who compiled its first few versions through 2001. Since then many individuals have made significant contributions of additional and supplemental material. Among the most active researchers have been Will Hendricks, Dr. Robert Hendrick, Jack Hendrick, Jean Wall, Ben Hendricks, Richard Helm, Tricia Dole, Pat Baber, Gary Lester, Bob Baird, and the late Linda Crissinger. These contributors have also made an effort to replace abstracted records by contributing transcripts or their own abstracts of the original documents. For the last several years the focus of this effort has been to compile a complete set of records for the first four generations of this family. With the addition of several hundred new records in 2009, 2010, and a few in 2011 and 2012, that effort appears to have drawn to a close. Attention is now shifting to records relating to the fifth and sixth generations in an effort to identify as many of them as possible. Because those records span a far wider geographic range and apply to a much larger number of descendants, they will be published in separate documents. -
Lineage Book from Year to Year, the Index of the Roll of Honor, Shows an Astonishing Increase of New Records
Or/v ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARV 3 1833 01748 8542 IGENEALOGY 241050 (D26 |V.32 PREFACE PREFACE. This volume contains the National Numbers 31001 to 32CXX). In the publication of the Lineage Book from year to year, the Index of the Roll of Honor, shows an astonishing increase of new records. It was at first supposed that new applicants would come from other branches of the same families as the earlier members,—on the contrary such interest has been aroused that ancestors on other lines have been found and in some cases we have Daughters who have records of sixteen ancestors. The descendants of General Israel Putnam and John Hart, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, are the most numerous of any in the organization. Gertrude B. Darwin. ILLUSTRATIONS. ILLUSTRATIONS.
