TILLMAN . 87 SENATOR BENJAMIN RYAN TILLl\{AN 102 INTRODUCTION IN COMPILING THIS HISTORY of the Tillman family the author has consulted family Bibles, Census returns of the Federal Government from 1790 to 1870, and documents in the Library of Congress in Washington. In addition there has been considered the many traditions of the families concerned. The major credit for the development of the manuscript should be accorded Mr. James D. Tillman, Jr., of Meridian, Miss. He spent more than 30 years in gathering data, and, while not in possession of the facilities of the author, nevertheless did succeed in developing the basic manuscript. It is intended to maintain a continual research for family data. Therefore the author will be most appreciative of information at any time. STEPHEN FREDERICK TILLMAN, National Press Club, Washington, D. C. NoVE~IBER r, 1930. THE FIRST SETTLER WE FIRST find a record of the Tillman family in America in 1638 when Christopher Tillman came to Virginia from England. ( See Greer's Early Virginia Emigrants.) Nothing has been found among early Virginia -records concerning Christopher Tillman, but an old tradition in the family, as told the author at the 1930 reunion of the family, has .it that Christopher left three sons. They were: Gideon, Roger, and John. Unfortunately, the records of many of the southern States have been totally or partially destroyed, thus making it impossible to complete the history of the family from 1638 to 1670. About 1660 we find John Tillman living on the west side of the Kennebec River· in Maine, taking the oath of allegiance to Charles II of England. It is recorded that the Tillman family originally came from Southern France to Germany, thence to Eng­ land. Nothing has been found to indicate relationship between the Tillman J~JDily and the Tilghman family of Kent, Md. However, some of the descendants of Gideon Tillman changed the spelling of their name to Tilghman. There is a coat-of-arms for the Von Till of Reinland (meaning the territory along the river Rhine), and' the people of, and from · there, were called the "Till-mann." The coat-of-arms shows a quartered shield, two lions and two griffins, a helmet, a crown, and five ostrich feathers for the crest. THE TILLMAN FAMILY GIDEON TILLMAN GIDEON TILLMAN, first son of Christopher Tillman, the Virginia emigrant, was born about 1640 in Accomac County, Va., and died May 9, ·1720, in Somerset County, Md. He married February 15, 1681, Margaret Manen. Due to local usage of the family name in Maryland, many of the descendants of this member of the family spell the name as Tilghman. Issue: Gideon, born October 18, 1682; Solomon, born February 13, 1685, and died, unmarried, 1729; Elinor, born February 13, 1688; John Stephen, born September 15, 16go; Moses, born June 6, 1692; Elizabeth, born January 5, 16g4, and Joseph, born 1700. · GIDEON TIL;t,MAN, son of Gideon and Margaret (Manen) Tillman, was born October 18, 1682, and died 1760, in Somerset County, Md. He married about 1702. Issue: John, born 1705; Aaron, born 1707; Elisha, born 1710, who served as a private in the Colonial Militia. of Somerset County, Md., in 1749, and then moved to South Caro­ lina; Anne, Peggy, Betty, Sarah, who married Isaac Marshall in North Carolina; Nehemiah and Joseph born 1755. JoHN TILLMAN, believed to have been the son of Gideon (the 2nd) Tillman, was born 1705 in Somerset County, Md., and died 1809 in Preble County, Ohio. About 1740 he moved to Craven County, N. C., and then to Orange County} N. C. Before data was found on the family, which showed that Roger and Gideon were living in Virginia prior to 1700, many of the families labored under the impression that we were of German descendants. Attention is called to the names in this family, and that of Stephen Tillman's family, which strengthens the claim of relationship. Issue: Tobias, born & l June, 1751. / T OBJAS TILLMAN, son of John Tillman, was born June 5, 1751, in Orange County, N.

  • The Brute Caricature

    The Brute Caricature

    The Brute Caricature MORE PICTURES The brute caricature portrays black men as innately savage, animalistic, destructive, and criminal -- deserving punishment, maybe death. This brute is a fiend, a sociopath, an anti-social menace. Black brutes are depicted as hideous, terrifying predators who target helpless victims, especially white women. Charles H. Smith (1893), writing in the 1890s, claimed, "A bad negro is the most horrible creature upon the earth, the most brutal and merciless"(p. 181). Clifton R. Breckinridge (1900), a contemporary of Smith's, said of the black race, "when it produces a brute, he is the worst and most insatiate brute that exists in human form" (p. 174). George T. Winston (1901), another "Negrophobic" writer, claimed: When a knock is heard at the door [a White woman] shudders with nameless horror. The black brute is lurking in the dark, a monstrous beast, crazed with lust. His ferocity is almost demoniacal. A mad bull or tiger could scarcely be more brutal. A whole community is frenzied with horror, with the blind and furious rage for vengeance.(pp. 108-109) During slavery the dominant caricatures of blacks -- Mammy, Coon, Tom, and picaninny -- portrayed them as childlike, ignorant, docile, groveling, and generally harmless. These portrayals were pragmatic and instrumental. Proponents of slavery created and promoted images of blacks that justified slavery and soothed white consciences. If slaves were childlike, for example, then a paternalistic institution where masters acted as quasi-parents to their slaves was humane, even morally right. More importantly, slaves were rarely depicted as brutes because that portrayal might have become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Younger per- sons who heard him not, nor saw him while living, have learned much of him through his numerous biog- raphers and from the mouths of others who did know him. Most that has been known of him, however, by either the living or the dead, has concerned his political career. For the purpose of securing votes for him among the masses in his candidacy for different offices he has been represented by his biographers as being of lowly origin in the midst of impecunious surroundings. Such, however, was not the condition of his early life. He was of gentle birth, with parents on both sides possessing not only valuable landed estates and numer- ous slaves, but occupying high social positions.

    THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE THE WOMEN OF RED CLYDESIDE: WOMEN MUNITIONS WORKERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Baillie, September 2002 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2002) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Women ofRed Clydeside: Women Munitions Workers in the West ofScotland during the First World War. AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A., M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: x,320 11 ABSTRACT During World War One, the Clydeside region became one ofthe most important centres ofwar production in Britain. It also had one ofthe most volatile male workforces, earning it the reputation 'Red' Clydeside. Previous historical accounts have focussed on the skilled workers, debating the extent to which they were red-hot revolutionaries or narrow craft conservatives. To date, there has been no study ofthe region's large, capable, hard-working female workforce. This thesis traces the experience ofthe tens ofthousands ofwomen employed in the Clydeside munitions industry, paying particular attention to the working conditions in local factories. This thesis contributes to the long-standing historiographical arguments over the nature ofRed Clydeside by offering a new view ofthe dilution crisis which stands 11t the epicentre ofthe debate. It finds more cooperation between male and female munitions workers than has previously been recognized, and suggests that class confrontation, not craft conservatism, was at the root ofthe deportation ofthe shop steward leaders in March 1916.

    Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay

    Journal of the Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science Volume 2 (no. 1) 2020 https://journals.troy.edu/index.php/JSAHMS/ Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay David Petriello Lecturer, Department of History, Caldwell University, Caldwell, New Jersey, United States Email: [email protected] Abstract Henry Clay’s nearly fifty years of public service coincided with the social, economic, and territorial growth of the Early Republic. Though much has been made of the influences of geography and political philosophy on his accomplishments, little has been done in addressing the role played by his own health and various illnesses of the era. Disease and personal health issues were perhaps the greatest natural allies, catalysts, and limiting agents of Henry Clay’s accomplishments. Ill health helped to start his career under the tutelage of George Wythe, the deaths of his daughters while undertaking the seasonal journey from Kentucky to Congress pushed his ideas on internal improvements, and disease collided with several of his campaigns for the presidency. This article focuses on the personal letters of Henry Clay and those around him to discern their views on the various illnesses of his day and gauge their impact on his career. Keywords: United States, Henry Clay, public health Henry Clay once claimed that he would, “rather be right than be president,” a desire that would, perhaps unfortunately, come true for the indefatigable politician. Perhaps because of this he has largely been forgotten by the American public. Despite this, his nearly fifty years of public service spanned the most important events in the history of the early Republic, including the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, the U.S.-Mexican War, and the various compromises that helped to slow the descent of the nation towards civil war.

Urbanization: America was transformed from an agrarian nation to an urban nation between 1865 (where 50% of Americans were farmers) and 1920 (where only 25% were farmers). (2% today) Millions of "New Immigrants" came from Southern and Eastern Europe, mostly to cities to work in factories. By 1900 society had become more stratified into classes than any time before or since. The “Great West": farming, mining, & cattle frontiers Farmers increasingly lost ground in the new industrial economy and eventually organized (Populism). In 1880, 25% of those who farmed did not own their land. 90% of African Americans lived in the South; 75% were tenant farmers or sharecroppers.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
