Nott Family Papers Gift, Date Unknown ANDOVER NEWTON THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL FRANKLIN TRASK LIBRARY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS TITLE OF COLLECTION: Nott Family Papers DONOR: Gift, date unknown [Roxana H. Vivian] LINEAR SHELF FEET: NUMBER OF ITEMS: 1 foot, 3 inches LOCATION: c.s. Mss. 1989-5 Biography The collection relates to the following members of the Nott family: Eliphalet (1773-1866) Samuel (1754-1852) Roxana Peck (1785-1876) Samuel (1787-1869) Eliphalet Gordon Hall (d.1903?) Harriet John Wade (1822-1911) Samuel (1815-1899) Sarah Maria (1826-1910?) William (1817-1890) Eliphalet (1773-1866), a Presbyterian clergyman known as a gifted pulpit orator, served churches in New York state before becoming president of Union College in 1804. He remained president for 62 years, building the school's academic reputation and providing for a secure endowment fund. His brother Samuel (1754-1852) served the Franklin (Ct.) Congregational church as pastor for 70 years. During the course of his long ministry he instructed over 200 young men in his home, preparing some for college and some for theological training. His younger brother Eliphalet was one of the students he instructed. Biography (cont.) Roxana Peck (1785-1876) spent her childhood in Franklin, Ct. Before her marriage to Samuel (1787-1869) in 1812, she had taught school at various places in Connecticut and Maine. Shortly after their marriage, Roxana and Samuel went to India as part of the first group of missionaries commissioned by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. They were compelled to return to the United States in 1816 because of ill health, and were released from Board service at that time. For several years Samuel taught in New York City. In 1823 the family moved to Galway, NY, where he became pastor of a Presbyterian church there; and in 1829 he became pastor of the Congregational church in Wareham, Ma. Samuel returned to teaching in 1849; and the family moved to Hartford in 1866. Little is known about the lives of three children of Roxana and Samuel: Eliphalet, Harriet, and Sarah Maria (1826-1910). Regarding four other children, Gordon Hall (d.1903?) and Samuel (1815-1899) were civil engineers whose professional work was with various railway companies. William (1817-1890) was a seaman; and John Wade (1822-1911) was an Episcopal rector. Scope and Content The Nott Family Papers, 1797-1912, document the life and work of three generations of family members, although the bulk of the collection relates to Samuel (1787-1869). The collection includes correspondence and memorabilia collected by Roxana Nott Vivian and Roxana H. Vivian, respectively daughter and granddaughter of Gordon Hall Nott. The material is arranged by generation, alphabetical order by given name within each generation. 3 Eliphalet (1773-1866) Box 1 Letters: Folder 1 1797 Oct. 22 Samuel 1; from Franklin 1799 Mayl2 Samuell; from Franklin 1800 n.d.

  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

The population was quickly expanding into the trans-Appalachian Westj the nation was firmly establishing itself as an independent country and a world force; increasingly the national philos- ophy became the idea that the nation had a divine origin, a divine inspiration, and a divine authority over the North American continent and any other area of the world to which it might expand.* The nation still reflected the thought of its early settlers, especially the Puritans of New England, There were fears among these people that the deistic-Unitarian influences of the late eighteenth century might corrupt the foundations of religion.

  • James La Grange Sloop Account Book MSBND 00032
    A Guide to the James La Grange Sloop Account Book Collection Summary Collection Title: James La Grange Sloop Account Book Call Number: MSBND 00032 Creator: Emily Vorce Inclusive Dates: April 6th 1799- January 2nd, 1855 Abstract: This work is a record of expenses and profits of a sloop by James La Grange used from 1799-1855. The Hudson River sloop of the 19th century was the most famous sailing vessel to ply the waters of the Hudson River. This hybrid craft evolved from its early European ancestors, built by the Dutch and the English, into a ship specifically suited to the demands and quirks of the namesake waterway. The sloop was the forerunner in the establishment of the vast commerce on the Hudson. This vessel played an important part in the development and growth of the State of New York. The Dutch settlers of New Netherland, as well as the English and French, saw the advantages of the sloop rig for the commerce on the river and the Sound. Scope and content: This work contains the accounts of many key persons in Albany history from 1799-1855. Including: Henry Yates (1770-1854) lawyer; treasurer of Union College, 1806-33; mem., N.Y. Senate, 1810-14 and 1818-22; mem., Council of Appointment, 1812 and 1818; mayor of Schenectady, N.Y., 1817. Gerrit A. Lansing, an Albany County merchant who married Albany native Machtel Beekman in January 1738. In 1727, he was appointed constable for the second ward. The next year, he was named high constable.

With extreme diffidence the compiler sends forth this genealogical work, is thoroughly aware of its imperfections and incompleteness, and claims for it nothing more than a conscientious, laborious effort to collect and preserve the family historj'-, as much of it as could be ascertained by extensive correspondence, searching old papers, town rec- ords, etc. Some years since Mr. Asahel Newell died, leaving papers that the compiler had gradually expanded until quite a mass of material had col- lected, much too valuable to be lost. He had de- sired that all the historical matter collected should be published ; other friends also desired it. The work would gladly have been committed to other and more competent hands, had there been any such ready and willing to undertake it. Only those who have been engaged in gen- ealogical studies can justly estimate the mea- sure of labor, research, correspondence and pa- tience required in a task of this kind.
