AUTHOR'S PK K KACE Having published four volumes of the Peirce, Pierce and Pearce family history at tlie urgent request of relatives, I have compiled t he Forbes Forbush genealogy, with what success the reader of tin's volume can judge. Thousands of letters were written, and in nearly every instance prompt, full, and very com- plete replies received, varying in length from a single page of aotc paper in over twenty pages of foolscap. It required considerable work to arrange all this matter in a presentable form. The style adopted by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society in the publication of their Register, lias been used a- the besl and simplest arrangement. It is the habit of some persons to depreciate genealogical studies and labor, and in some instances even to ridicule the efforts of those so engaged. It is a matter of extreme indifference to them whether they have had any ancestors or not, and in nearly every case of this kind the persons only care for themselves. They are so wrapt up in self, that all other matters dwindle into utter insignificance. Abijkkviations and Explanations. — ae. for aged; abt. forabout; b. lor born; bap. for baptized; bid'., before; eh., children; d., died; dau., daughter: dee'd., deceased; m., married; num., unmarried; inv., inventory; rep., representative; res., resided, resides, or residence; w., wife; wid., widower; yr., year; s. p., without issue. There are other abbreviations of such common use that the meaning will be obvious. A name in parenthesis, thus: Sarah Forbush, dau. of John and Maria (Scott) Forbush, indicates the maiden-name of the mother. An interroga tion mark implies doubt or want of absolute certainty. Birthplaces are not always given, but they can be ascertained by reference to the persons' parents and their residence at the lime of birth. Old and Nkw Style.—In computing time, the solar year is reckoned :'A\^\ days, but this is too much by eleven minutes and a fraction. If this excess be neglected, in the course of centuries, 1st nf January would fall back toward midsummer, and in 1582, the time of Pope Gregory XIII., it was found that the vernal equinox, which, in A. D. 325, happened on the 21sl of March, actually occurred on the I Oth of March. For the purpose of rectifying the calendar, the Pope ordered that ten days be dropped for that year. This was called "New Style," and the former calendar, "Old Style." The new calendar was soon adopted by all Catholic countries, but in England, and her colonies, it was disre garded till 1752, when the error of the old calendar amounted to eleven days, and by an Act of Parliament they were dropped from September of that year. If the year began the 25th of March, the date would be February 9, 1684; if the year began the 1st of January, the date would be February 9, 16*5, andchanged to New Style by addition of eleven days, would be February 16, L685. '(5) 6 Author's Preface. Origin of the Name.—One of the most common methods of bestowing counties and surnames was from the place, or residence. Not only countries, but towns were a fruitful source of surnames. John, from Cornwall, became John Corn- a of was of wall, or Cornish. Richard, who lived near piece woodland, spoken as Richard, at or near the wood, originating the surname, Atwood; or John, living with etc. near a hill, became John Hill. So Underbill, Atwell, John, living- near a clump of oaks, was John atten oaks, abbreviated into Noakes; or William, ash was known as William who had pitched his tent, or cabin, near a notable tree, drifted into Nash. at the ash, or William atten ash. which easily So, too, Thomas, who lived near a small stream (or in Anglo-Saxon, a becket), was Thomas at the becket, and thus was named the martyr, Thomas a Becket. The most com- mon terminations of English surnames, taken from places, are ford, hum, lea, and ton. Ford is from the Saxan faran, to go; signifying the place where a stream could be crossed. In the name of Shakespeare's birdiplace we have a memento of three different the the old the eras of English history; viz., the periods of occupancy by Britons, Romans, and the Saxons. Stmt is an abbreviation of strata (street), the name by tells us that of these which the great Roman roads were known. Ford one roads crossed a stream, and Avon is the name which the old Britons, or Celts, gave to the st reams. a wooded served as The word />", leak, or leigll, signifying partially field, the ending for many surnames, such as llorsley, Cowley. Ashley, Oakley, Lind- means a and this has ley, and Berkley, or Birehley. Hay, or haw, hedge, given us Hayes, Haynes, Haley, Haywood, llawes, Haworth, Hawthorn, Haughton, or Houghton. method Occupations, too, have afforded an endless array of surnames. This was used by the Romans in such names as Pabricus (smith). Pictor (painter), Agricola (farmer). In England a skillful hunter would adopt that as his surname, or and equally so with the carpenter, joiner, sawyer, baker, butcher. former Personal traits, and complexion, too. gave rise to surnames. From the we have the names Stout, Strong, Long, Longman. Longfellow; and from the to denote latter, Brown, Black, etc. Some mental and moral trails were also used the surnames. Richard the First, of England, was belter known as Richard of Lion Heart. The next step would be to derive from this quality the surname Lion. famih The name of Forbush is a good example of the mutations which some — names have undergone, for the varying orthography adopted from time to timi for the most part, no doubt, by town clerks, and other public recorders, during the earlyperiod of our country's settlement—have been such. that, in the course of had one three or four generations, the knowledge among descendants that they their iden common ancestor in this country has been lost, and without ii, family is still trace the of some of the , tity. The change going on— to descendants early settlers to the present time, from public records, has therefore become extremely difficult. The following is an example of the changes in one name: "Next, he showed me, by the aid of a few family documents in his possession, that the original name it Now. of his ancestors had been Meredith, or, to write Welsh fashion, Maredydd.— in Wales, the accent is always thrown on the last syllable but one the penulti »• Author's Preface. 7 mate, as we say, in Latin prosody.

A couple of hundred years ago, one of these Welsh .Merediths settled in Staffordshire; bul as lie kepi close, apparently, to the original pronunciation of his name, it was Anglicized by his neighbors; not into the usual Meredith (which is formed on the regular English rule of throwing the accent soon that sound to backward), hut into Meready.

The four Stages Maredydd, Meredith, Meready, and Ready—were all to be found consecutively in my friend's documents in the " name Ready."— From the Cornhitt Magaziiw.

" The following, in relation to the name, is found in Arthur's Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names," published in 1857. FoRBISHER, a polisher of armor or weapons. FURBUSHER, the same as Forbisher. FORBES, local, lands free from military service, called Saor Forba, or free lands. It is also the name of a parish in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. " Farrabas, Furbish, etc. — In the London "Notes and Queries (Fifth S., Vol. vi, p. 426), attention was called to an article by the laic Andrew II. Ward, in the Register paper, 1853 (relating to the various ways the names Forbes-Forbush had been recorded in the early New England town records). In the next Vol. (Fifth S., vii) "Notes and Queries," p. 97, Wm. John Potts, of Camden, N.

Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

    Catching the Big Wave: Public Opinion Polls and Bandwagons in US and Canadian Elections Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Delton T. Daigle, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Herbert Weisberg, Advisor Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier Professor Paul Allen Beck Professor Randall B. Ripley i Copyright by Delton T. Daigle 2010 i Abstract For as long as public opinions have generally thought to be known there have been claims made that knowledge of where people stand can impact both the attitudes and behaviors of others. Previous research has had mixed results in identifying and measuring the effects of ―bandwagons‖. This research uses better data and derives tests from contemporary theories of public opinion to show that not only do bandwagons definitively exist, but also that they exist most often among the groups of people we would expect to be influenced by ambient information: those adequately prepared to receive a message but not so sophisticated as to not be influenced by it. This research examines and finds bandwagon effects in four elections total in two different countries (Canada in 2004 and 2006 and the United States in 2000 and 2004) and as such, contributes to the larger scientific endeavor of generalization through comparison. ii Dedication For my patient and loving wife Carolina iii Acknowledgements It only seems natural to begin acknowledgements with recognizing my advisor Herb Weisberg and my committee Jan Box-Steffensmeier, Randall Ripley and Paul Beck, whose patience with how long it took me to defend this project cannot be appreciated more.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
