Borough of Queens CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS HON. GEORGE U. HARVEY HON. JOHN J. HALLERAN President Commissioner of Public Works DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE and FAMILY CEMETERIES IN THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS Compiled by -. .- I nt TOPOGRAPiiiCAL BUREAU CHARLES U. POWELL, C. E. Engineer in Charge AND Edited by ALICE H. MElGS LONG ISLAND COLLECTION THE QUEENS BOROUGH PUBLIC LIBRARY Jamaica, New York 1932. TOPOGRAPHICAL BUREAU February 10, 1931 Hon. George U. Harvey, President of the Borough of Queens. Dear Sir: I beg to submit a report containing a description of private and family cemeteries in the Borough of Queens. The trend of progress in the Borough of Queens has in recent years almost completely obliterated the rural aspect of many sections of the 3oroiigh. Where sparsely settled viilages were, populated districts now stand, containing thousands of homes. Where once one viewed only farm land, now developments appear ranging from streets of ordinary width to majestic boulevards. This unprecedented progress has com- pletely erased from the topogrcphy of the Borough many private ceme- teries, some of which date back to the time of the first settlers on Long Island. In the course of the final mapping of the Borough of Queens, survey- ing parties of the Topographical Bureau, office of the Borough President, determined the location of many private cemeteries. Besides being of historical interest, the records contained in the epitaphs on the head- stones in these cemeteries are of considerable genealogical value, and may be c.f service to thosz seeking to prove their descent. Questions of land ownership might be clarified by the information obtained from these cemetery records. Believing that a permanent detailed record of each private cemetery would be of historical and genealogical, and even legal, interest to pos- la-::rl~tj, I I-ia~ehad [he irl~cripiionscontained on the headstones, together with the location of the graves, copied and compiled into book form. This book conta~qsan index map of the private cemeteries, a detailed sketch of each, and a list of the inscriptions that appear on the head- stones. A legend is shown on the index map containing the name of each cemetery; opposite the name is a nutnber, which number corresponds to the number on the rnap indicating the approximate location of the cemetery. The detailed sketch of each cemetery shows the exact location of each grave; a number is given to each grave on this sketch. Respectfully, CHARLES U. POWELL, Engineer in Charclc -- - EDITOR'S PREFACE The Queens Borough Public Library rejoices in the posses- sion of records of some of these graveyards made before the Topographical Bureau started its file. The library records are, in several places, fuller than those of the Topographical Bureau. The two files have been combined since it is the aim of the editor to present these records in as fuil a form as possible. It is a cause for rejoicing that such men as Mr. Powell and his associates are alive to the necessity of preserving for the use of future generations such iiiformation as is found here. It has been a pleascre and a privilege to work on this book and to cooperate with the Topographical Bureau in its com- pilation. The editor wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to the work of the late William F. Wyckoff, Henry Onclerdonk, Jr., and William S. Pelletreau. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Josephine C. Frost of Brooklyn, Mr. Arthur White of Newtown, Mr. R. G. Debevoise of Woodhaven and Mr. W. A. D. Eardley of Brooklyn. ALICE H. MEIGS.

The dissertation moves from the operations of violence on the ground to the ideological implications of violence in the era of gradual emancipation.

Several years ago the writer obtained possession of a package of old deeds and other original documents relating to descendants of John Lawrence of Wisset, Eng., who were among the early settlers in Middlesex County, Mass. The interest awakened by an exami- nation of these papers led to a study of the family history, and especially that of the first five generations in America ; and in this little volume are given the results of these researches. Absolute accuracy in a work of this kind is hardly to be attained. The incompleteness of many town and church records, the frequent changes of residence of individuals, and the confusion arising from a repetition of certain Christian names, — these are am.ong the hinderances well-known to the student of family history. The writer will, therefore, be glad to be informed of any errors or omissions which may be discovered. It is fitting that due acknowledgment should be made to the Hon.

    The American Reformation: The Politics of Religious Liberty, Charleston and New York 1770-1830 by Susanna Christine Linsley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan M Juster, Chair Professor David J. Hancock Professor Mary C. Kelley Associate Professor Mika Lavaque-Manty Assistant Professor Daniel Ramirez © Susanna Christine Linsley 2012 Acknowledgements During one of the more challenging points in the beginning stages of the dissertation project, my advisor, Sue Juster, gave me some advice that I continue to refer to when I find myself in need of guidance. She told me that there was no secret to getting back on track. I just needed to allow myself to take some time and remember why I loved history. This observation was one of the many sage and trenchant insights Sue has offered me throughout graduate school. I cannot thank her enough for providing both such a practical and an inspiring model for scholarship. I have also been fortunate to work with a committee whose brilliance and wisdom is unmatched. Mary Kelley has been a constant source of support throughout my time in Ann Arbor. Her unfailing trust in me and in my project gave me the confidence to push my work in directions I would not have thought possible before I began. David Hancock has always asked good questions, spurring me to think deeply both about context and about broader sets of connections. His own rigorous scholarship and teaching have served as great examples to me.

  • Maryland Historical Magazine, 1941, Volume 36, Issue No. 4
    mpi sc szn-i-iHi MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. XXXVI DECEMBER, 1941 No. 4 JOSHUA BARNEY AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION By BERNARD MAYO When William Wirt was writing his biography of Patrick Henry and having difficulty in finding material on his subject, St. George Tucker commiserated with him on the indifference of Virginians to their great men. It seemed to Tucker that even Socrates would have been soon forgotten in the Ancient Dominion.1 This same sort of indifference has obscured the merits of a num- ber of Maryland's distinguished sons, and among them until recently has been Joshua Barney of Baltimore. To most Americans his name, if it meant anything at all, vaguely recalled the gallant defense of Washington in 1814 made by Barney's marines and flotilla-men at William Wirt's home town of Bladensburg. Yet this was but one of the Marylander's many exploits and public services. Happily he has now been rescued from an undeserved obscurity by Mr. Hulbert Footner's robust and stirring biography. Sailor of Fortune: The Life and Adventures of Commodore Barney, U. S. N.2 It is not the purpose here to recount what Mr. Footner has already told, but rather to throw a little additional light on one phase of Joshua Barney's career. In editing for the American Historical Association a volume comprising the instructions sent by the British foreign secretaries to Britain's envoys in America from 1791 to 1812, several items have been discovered which are pertinent to the man. The Foreign Office archives reveal that 1St.
