Names have been spelled as taken from the records, and an ef­ fort has been made to achieve an orderly and understandable ar­ rangement. All available pertinent information bearing upon the family has been reported. It is regretted that several family lines, of necessity, must remain untraced; further investigation would have required additional research without indication or expecta­ tion of success, and it would have delayed and perhaps aborted this publication. Hugh B. Johnston is credited with the wide scope of the ac­ count, particularly for the detail of the outflow of J ohnstons from Isle of Wight and Southampton and the spread of the story at the fourth generation. Your writer originally contemplated a condensed account beginning with William Johnston and more detailed at the branches emerging from Capt. Nathan Johnston (1738-1807) in the sixth generation. Mr. Johnston vigorously urged that "the posterity of William Johnston deserved better and more comprehensive treatment." Mr. Johnston, it is regretted, is not among the Johnstons in the account. He is of the Isle-of-Wight Johnstons, and doubtless James Johnston, his ancestor there, was a kinsman of William Johnston, but the relationship has not been established. His - family

    SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY MOB: VIOLENCE AGAINST RELIGIOUS OUTSIDERS IN THE U.S. SOUTH, 1865-1910 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Patrick Q. Mason, B.A., M.A., M.A. ________________________________ R. Scott Appleby, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2005 © Copyright by PATRICK Q. MASON 2005 All rights reserved SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY MOB: VIOLENCE AGAINST RELIGIOUS OUTSIDERS IN THE U.S. SOUTH, 1865-1910 Abstract by Patrick Q. Mason Studies of violence in the late nineteenth-century South focus almost exclusively on racial and political violence against African Americans. While this emphasis is both understandable and appropriate, what has been largely neglected is the violence committed against religious outsiders, and more generally their overall treatment in what was essentially a hegemonic culture of evangelical Protestantism. In addition to the many instances of violence against African American churches and ministers, the South also witnessed dozens of episodes of anti-Jewish violence and literally hundreds of cases of anti-Mormon violence from 1865 to 1910. Acknowledging and understanding this relatively hidden chapter in American history provides us with unique insights into postbellum southern culture and the sometimes violent side of the American experiment in religious pluralism. This dissertation adds to the growing body of scholarship exploring the relationships between religion and violence in southern history and American history more broadly by making three primary contributions. First, it uncovers numerous untold narratives of violence against southern religious outsiders.

  • Cupit Family
    A HISTORY OF THE CUPIT FAMILY By JOHN THOMAS CUPIT ROSEPINE, LOUISIANA 1954 THE RELIANCE PRESS DE RIDDER, LOUISIANA INTRODUCTION In this story of the Cupit Family I am giving here an ex­ planaition of how you may use it with more ease as to records you may want to check. I have arranged the genealogy by chapters, using a chap­ ter for each child of the original immigrant to America. The letters and numbers herein used are for the following purpose: The letters are for the generations, namely; A-1, first gen­ eration and first person in the generation. A-2, is second person discussed in first generation. B-1 would be the first person in the second generation, and so on. The descendants are not in chronolgical order in every case. Chapter I.

  • Blind Lemon Jefferson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Blind Lemon Jefferson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Lemon Henry Jefferson Also known as Deacon L. J. Bates Born September 24, 1893[1] Coutchman, Texas, U.S. Origin Texas Died December 19, 1929 (aged 36) Chicago, Illinois, U.S. Genres Blues, gospel blues Occupation(s) Singer-songwriter, musician Instruments Guitar Years active 1900s–1929 Labels Paramount Records, Okeh Records Notable instruments Acoustic Guitar "Blind" Lemon Jefferson (born Lemon Henry Jefferson; September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929) was an American blues and gospel blues singer and guitarist from Texas. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s, and has been called "Father of the Texas Blues". Jefferson's performances were distinctive as a result of his high-pitched voice and the originality on his guitar playing. Although his recordings sold well, he was not so influential on some younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists. Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style. Biography Early life Jefferson was born blind, near Coutchman in Freestone County, near present-day Wortham, Texas. He was one of eight children born to sharecroppers Alex and Clarissa Jefferson. Disputes regarding his exact birth date derive from contradictory census records and draft registration records. By 1900, the family was farming southeast of Streetman, Texas, and Lemon Jefferson's birth date is indicated as September 1893 in the 1900 census. The 1910 census, taken in May before his birthday, further confirms his year of birth as 1893, and indicated the family was farming northwest of Wortham, near Lemon Jefferson's birthplace.

    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

Their pattern of flight is often beautiful to watch – a V formation ensures some vital energy saving features. Research has shown that there is good sound reasoning behind such a formation for as each bird flaps its wings it creates uplift for the bird behind it. By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71 per cent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. Have you been in leadership for a while and feel you’ve lost something of that initial vision and passion – maybe Whether geese or people and yes even church – when time back in the team might refresh you and at the same sharing a common direction and sense of community then time enable someone else to step up and lead the way for we travel better and further than we would alone. a season.
