Vital Records of Cumberland, Maine 1701-1892 Edited by Thomas C. Bennett Vital Records of Cumberland, Maine Table of Contents Introduction Page iii Births Page 1 Deaths Page 175 Marriages by Groom Page 227 Marriages by Bride Page 276 ii Vital Records of Cumberland, Maine Introduction The Town of Cumberland, Maine, located on Casco Bay in Cumberland County, was incorporated on March 19, 1821, after a successful secession effort by the residents of the northwestern section of the Town of North Yarmouth. North Yarmouth, first settled by the English as early as 1635, was originally known by the Indian name Westcustogo, and was incorporated in 1680 as the eighth town in Maine. In addition to North Yarmouth and Cumberland, North Yarmouth originally comprised the present day towns of Freeport, Harpswell, Pownal, Yarmouth and a small part of Brunswick. The Cumberland Town Archives contain nine volumes of vital records that predate the 1892 Maine law requiring the state’s municipalities to report vital statistics to the Secretary of State. These include volumes labeled Birth Deaths by Family 1732–1821; Birth Deaths 1800– 1864; Birth Deaths 1864–1880; Births 1854–1891 Deaths 1881–1891; and Marriages 1829– 1892. There are four volumes containing copied records. E. D. Loring, North Yarmouth Town Clerk from 1873–1922, provided Cumberland with a copy of the “record of marriages from 1720–1821 as recorded in the records of North Yarmouth.” In February 1904, Cumberland Town Clerk David L. Blanchard created a “true copy of all the Births and Deaths recorded in the Town of Cumberland records up to the year of January 1st 1892.” In 1959, Cumberland voters at Town Meeting appropriated $200 “for the purpose of preserving early records of the Town of Cumberland.” Antoinette W. Packard copied Cumberland’s vital records into a set of notebooks. Hazel McGoff took Mrs. Packard’s notebooks and typed the contents onto single–sided sheets. The Packard–McGoff copied data is presented in two volumes. Volume I contains Births 1802–1892, Deaths 1815–1891, Soldier’s Graves, and Marriages 1720–1891. Volume 2 is comprised of Births 1718–1815 and Deaths 1733–1821. Volume 1 Births (pages 1–87) corresponds to pages 2–72 of the Blanchard copy of births and deaths up to January 1, 1892. Volume 1 Deaths (pages 88–129) corresponds to pages 100–154 of the Blanchard copy. Volume 1 Marriages pages 136–189 corresponds to the Loring copy of the North Yarmouth marriage records (1720–1821). Volume 1 Marriages pages 190–227 is taken from the unpaged volume Marriages 1829–1892, which in fact should read Marriages 1821–1892. Volume 2 Births (pages 87a–87yyyy) corresponds to Births Deaths by Family iii Vital Records of Cumberland, Maine 1732–1821 pages 1–115, while Volume 2 Deaths (pages 129a–129y) corresponds to Births Deaths by Family 1732–1821 pages 180–198. During the 1990s, Cheryl Buxbaum, Cumberland’s Welfare Director, entered the data from the Packard–McGoff volumes into Microsoft Excel. Prince Memorial Library received copies of the spreadsheets in 2002, and the data was imported into Microsoft Access. Milli McGoldrick, Betty Robinson, Bill Earle, Chris Hayes and Stephen Hayes verified the Access data against the Packard–McGoff copy, and made corrections when needed. Each database entry was verified at least twice, and, when required, the original volumes were consulted. Cumberland Vital Records 1701–1892 includes listings for 6,211 births, 1,828 deaths and 2,083 marriages, and represents the culmination of many years of work on the part of numerous individuals. Many of the pre-1821 records, when Cumberland was still part of North Yarmouth, are included in Vital Records of North Yarmouth, Maine to the year 1850 (Camden, Maine: Picton Press, 2nd edition, 1993). The data is presented as it appears in the Packard–McGoff volumes, however not all of the information contained in those volumes is included. For births, the names of parents are included when available, as are the names of parents and age of individual at death for decedents. Some data, such as status of individual (e.g., “widow,” “a pauper,” “relict of”), comments (e.g., “d. at Almshouse,” “drowned”) the residence of the individual being married, or the person performing the marriage, is available in the database but is not included in the published volumes due to space considerations. The number in the right–hand column of the page generally refers to the page number in the Packard–McGoff volumes, but there are some exceptions. Volume 1 of the Packard–McGoff volumes was paginated 1 through 226, and is recorded as such in the database and in published versions. With Volume 2, there was an attempt to insert the births after the births in Volume 1, and to insert the deaths after the deaths in Volume 1. This resulted in the Packard–McGoff pagination system in which Volume 1 Births were on pages 1–87 and Volume 2 Births were on pages 87a through 87yyyyy, with two additional pages, 87jj2 and 87jjj2. Volume 1 Deaths are on pages 88–129, with Volume 2 Deaths on pages 129a through 129y. This publication uses the following convention: for births and deaths, pages 1–128 refer to pages 1–128 in Volume 1; pages 129–150 refer to pages 129a through 129y in Volume 2; and pages 151–281 correspond to pages 87a–87jjj2 in Volume 2. For marriages, the original page numbers of Volume 1, pages 136–227, were retained. iv Vital Records of Cumberland, Maine To further confuse matters, pages 87jj2 and 87jjj2 were inserted after page 87yyyyy, the last page of Volume 2 Births, when they should have been inserted after 87jj and 87jjj, respectively. Page 87jj2 was renumbered as page 280 when it should have been renumbered as page 187, while page 87jjj2 was renumbered page 281, rather than as page 214. This, and all other issues concerning the numbering of pages, is only of consequence if one is trying to correlate this volume of vital records with the original volumes in the Cumberland Town Archives. The Packard–McGoff volume pages each contain fewer names than the volume pages from which they are copied, resulting in a greater than one–to–one correlation of pages (e.g., the Packard–McGoff Volume 1 Births section requires 87 pages to present the data transcribed from 71 pages in the Blanchard copy). Though time consuming, it is possible to correlate each page in the Packard–McGoff volumes with their source volume pages. In 2007, Brown’s River Records Preservation Services of Essex, Vermont, provided conservation treatment for the volumes Births Deaths by Family 1732–1821; Births Deaths 1800–1864; Births Deaths 1864–1880; Births 1854–1891 Deaths 1881–1891; and Marriages 1829–1892. All nine volumes providing the source data for Cumberland Vital Records 1701– 1892 are available for research purposes at Cumberland Town Hall. Thomas C.

  • AMERICA's ANNEXATION of HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE
    A LUSCIOUS FRUIT: AMERICA’S ANNEXATION OF HAWAII by BECKY L. BRUCE HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOSEPH A. FRY KARI FREDERICKSON LISA LIDQUIST-DORR STEVEN BUNKER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Becky L. Bruce 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the annexation of Hawaii was not the result of an aggressive move by the United States to gain coaling stations or foreign markets, nor was it a means of preempting other foreign nations from acquiring the island or mending a psychic wound in the United States. Rather, the acquisition was the result of a seventy-year relationship brokered by Americans living on the islands and entered into by two nations attempting to find their place in the international system. Foreign policy decisions by both nations led to an increasingly dependent relationship linking Hawaii’s stability to the U.S. economy and the United States’ world power status to its access to Hawaiian ports. Analysis of this seventy-year relationship changed over time as the two nations evolved within the world system. In an attempt to maintain independence, the Hawaiian monarchy had introduced a westernized political and economic system to the islands to gain international recognition as a nation-state. This new system created a highly partisan atmosphere between natives and foreign residents who overthrew the monarchy to preserve their personal status against a rising native political challenge. These men then applied for annexation to the United States, forcing Washington to confront the final obstacle in its rise to first-tier status: its own reluctance to assume the burdens and responsibilities of an imperial policy abroad.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • Covington Family History As Pertains to Our Lineage, I Came Upon Eurie Coving- Ton White’S, Covington Cousinsa, Which Seemed to Be A
    James L. (Lou) Poole 328 Forest Grove Drive, Richardson, TX Not For Publication [email protected] Book 3, Chapter 3 Covington Family (Revised & Expanded) The Covington family is connected to the McCown family through the marriage of Mar- tha Wall Covington to James J. Gathings [Chapter 2] on 5 April 1838.1 Their daughters, Mattie (Martha Wall Texanna) and Emma Davis Gathings, both married James McCown [Chapter 1]. COVINGTON NAME The following discussion of the Covington name was taken from Covington’s Covington and Kin, and is apparently the result of earlier research by Vaden Covington. “Covington originates from ‘Kolbin’ which the Norseman, Turgesin brought with him when the invaded Northern Ireland in 831 A.D. It was translated by the Irish as ‘Covan.’ In the migration to Scotland the name became ‘Cova.’ In the further migration to England the name became ‘Cov,’ ‘Ing’ meaning people, and ‘Ton’ meaning town. Thus town of Cov’s people or Covington.”2 From the above source, it is apparent that the name ‘Covington,’ or its derivative (or antecedent), is known in Ireland, Scotland and England. As with any theory of the origin of names, there are not surprisingly different versions of the origin, any or all of which (at least in part) may be true. Given the above theory that the name migrated from Norsemen to Irishmen to Scots to Englishmen, Mr. Covington provides us with a sampling of the name origin from each country. Ireland. “The name Covington originated from the old Norse name Kolbeinn. In Ireland, it translated as Columban and by some scribes Colban.

Background of the Pioneer and Century Certificate Project Even before the impetus of the Bicentennial year and the appearance of Alex Haley's Roots, more and more people were becoming interested in genealogy. Fifty years ago, the word was apt to mean an exercise aimed at qualifying for membership in an exclusive society. Today, its meaning has broadened to acconnnodate an increased awareness of the value of family and national heritages. Realization has come, too, that in a time of great social change, the knowledge of these--placing the individual, as it were, in a context--can stabilize and illuminate the sense of self.
