Gift of Bayard Verplanck, 1949 (See page 42) OF DUTCHESS /680-/807 by S. Velma Pugsley Spo11sored by THE DUTCHESS COUNTY AMERICAN REVOLUTION BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION as a 1976 Project Printed by HAMILTON REPRODUCTIONS, Inc. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. FOREWORD The Bicentennial Project rirled "Portraits of Dutchess 1680-1807" began as a simple, personal arrempr ro catalog existing porrrairs of people whose lives were part of rhe county's history in rhe Colonial Period. As rhe work progressed ir became certain rhar relatively few were srill in the Durchess-Purnam area. As so many of rhem had become the property of Museums in other localities it seemed more important than ever ro lisr rhem and their present locations. When rhe Dutchess County American Revolution Bicentennial Commission with great generosity undertook rhe funding ir was possible ro illustrate rhe booklet with photographs from rhe many available sources. This document is nor ro be considered as a geneological or historic record even though much research in rhose directions became a necessity. The collection is meant ro be a pictorial record, only, hoping rhar irs readers may be made more aware rhar these paintings are indeed pictures of our ancestors. Ir is also hoped rhar all museum collections of Colonial Painting will be viewed wirh deeper and more personal interest. The portraits which are privately owned are used here by rhe gracious consent of the owners. Those works from public sources are so indicated.

  • An Autonomous Model of Family Reunification
    THE PLUS ONE POLICY: AN AUTONOMOUS MODEL OF FAMILY REUNIFICATION Jessica Feinberg* ABSTRACT Citizens who share close, important relationships with non-citizens often face significant obstacles if they wish to maintain these relationships permanently within the United States. In order to lawfully immigrate to the United States, non-citizen loved ones must fit within one of the narrowly-defined admission categories estab- lished by the Immigration and Nationality Act. The majority of individuals able to immigrate can do so because they share relationships with U.S. citizens that render them eligible under the “family reunification” admission category. Unfortunately, immigration law’s definition of family includes only relationships that could fit within the “traditional family unit.” Thus, many citizens find themselves unable to reunite with the people they value most. This Article proposes adding a new cate- gory to immigration law’s current family reunification scheme. The “Plus One Pol- icy” would allow an adult U.S. citizen to sponsor one important individual in his or her life who does not fit within any of the pre-existing family reunification provisions. The Plus One Policy seeks to supplement the current purely “bounded model” of family reunification, in which the government decides categorically which relation- ships are most valuable to its citizens, with an “autonomous model,” whereby citi- zens decide for themselves which relationships they value most. Not only would such a model demonstrate that the United States recognizes and respects the wide variety of domestic and global conceptions of family, it would also further the humane and practical goals of family reunification law.

  • Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Vol. 2
    ^7<y,/ kSLct f>1>ï /933 To the binder: these 2 leaves, pp.vil-x are throw-outs in the final binding: GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE PART II THE SOUTHWORTH PRESS PORTLAND, MAINE 1933 PREFACE TO PART II Although over four years have passed, the promise made in the Preface to Part I, that before Part II should go to press, all of my materials would have been thoroughly worked over for the whole book, is ixnkept. Not only have my minutes from so many years among the records not been fidly uti­ lized, but people who have studied certain families will often find that au­ thentic matter in print has escaped notice. Genealogists trained to library work will turn to many such omissions. Yet I do, to console myself, hold to the belief that James Savage himself, had he -in our day- thought of writing his Genealogical Dictionary, would have abandoned it almost before start­ ing. As it was, he exhausted every printed book from cover to cover (often led into errors thereby). Today such books have multiplied more than a hundred fold. In the interim between Parts I and II, books have gotten into print which fill me with dismay, and worse— books -flung- into print, reckless of errors; and some of these by a genealogist of high reputation. Is there not now enough of such material on the library shelves without increasing it 1 More to the point, shall I add to it? Personally I have reached a conviction that we have arrived at a stage where the desideratum is not the multiplication of genealogical books, nor even the extension of research, but the rescuing of genealogy itself from being brought into public contempt by reckless graspers after high ancestry and their exploiters.

Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Dr. Reid Barbour Dr. David Baker Dr. Mary Floyd-Wilson Dr. Megan Matchinske Dr. Jessica Wolfe © 2013 Evan August Gurney ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT EVAN AUGUST GURNEY: “Discontented Charity: Theology, Community, and Hermeneutics, More to Milton” (Under the direction of Reid Barbour) This dissertation investigates one of the profound and pervasive ironies of early modern England: how charity, ostensibly an idealized ethic governing all human (and divine) relationships, was situated at the center of so many of the era’s most contentious disputes. This is the project’s point of origin, that charity was in fact a problem, its simple imperatives lending an urgency and power to complicated questions about devotional practice, communal identity, political economy, and literary discourse. By tracing the contours of this key nodal term’s complex history throughout the period, from the vexed inception of Reformed theologies and biblical translations in the 1520s to political and ideological controversies arriving in the wake of civil war, Discontented Charity examines the role of charity in shaping the negotiations of early modern writers who were responding to intractable social, religious, and political demands. There was consensus of a kind during the early modern period – almost everybody agreed that charity was crucial, that it was the primary force binding together communities, and that its relationship to justice required punitive discipline – but these shared beliefs merely added pressure to a vigorous debate.
