Ancestry of Samuel Stockton White I ANCESTRY OF Samuel Stockton SLhite, d.d.s WITH ACCOUNTS OF THE FAMILIESOF "White, Kewby, Rose, Cranmer, Stout, Smith, Stockton, Leeds, Fisher, Gardiner, Mathews, Elton, Revell, Stacye, Tonkin, Carey, and Johnson. n. 3 COMPILED BY 1/ WILLIAMFRANCIS 7OEEGAE, Author of "Anckstbt of William Shiplet Haetbs," etc. PHILADELPHIA, 1888. Copyright, 1888, BY William Francis Cbeoab. Press of PATTBUBON & White. PREFACE. The preparation of this history of the White Ancestry was commenced nearly seven years ago, but the research greatly exceeded the original plans of both the family and myself, as it was only intended to prepare a MS. account of the White, Stockton, Gardiner, and Elton families. The result, however, was considered sufficiently satisfactory to warrant farther in­ vestigation, and Iwas permitted to enlarge the scope of the work. With this object in view Ivisited various localities in the States of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia, concluding with a voyage to England inthe spring of 1883, and another in December of 1884; the result of the researches made during those trips being embodied in some seventeen pedigrees, which the White family have finally de­ cided to publish, in order that the information, gained at so much trouble and expense, may be preserved in a form accessi­ ble to all the descendants of those families, to whom 1now have the honor of submitting the pedigrees, feeling confident that, while itis almost impossible to avoid some defects in a work of this character, no one can take exception to the facts, as each generation of the several pedigrees is established by what Iconscientiously believe to be ample and authentic evidence, iii IV Preface. much of which willhe found inthe copies of willsand other docu­ ments contained in the Appendix. In all cases, however, refer­ ence is given to the authorities, so that any one feeling a particu­ lar interest inany of the families can verify my statements. In arranging the pedigrees Ihave devoted a chapter to each family, making the "White family the first, and the first family into which they married the second, etc., giving a reference to the whole chapter when itis desired to indicate the ancestry of a person named, and reference to a particular page when itis only intended to call attention toa marriage and the descendants thereof. In transcribing dates Ihave adhered strictly to the re­ cords of the time, and must request any one who notices any apparent discrepancies to hear in mind that previous to the year 1752, when the Gregorian Calendar was adopted inEngland by Act of Parliament, the legal year began on the 25th of March, That act, which also affected the colonies, decreed that eleven nominal days should be omitted, the last day of the old style being Wednesday the 2d, and the first day of the new style (the next day) Thursday the 14th, instead ofSeptember the 3d, 1752, and the legal year, which had previously been held to begin on the 25th of March, was made to begin on the Ist ofJanuary. In conclusion, Ihave great pleasure in acknowledging a deep sense of obligation to Dr. James W. White and his son Prof. J. WilliamWhite for their kind encouragement and appreciation of my labors, and expressing gratitude for the advice and assistance which Ihave received at the hands of the Right Rev. the Bißhop of Down; the Rev.

F. (tUTKKONST. Phila.. Pa CHAPTER I. WHITE FAMILY. The White family were among the early arrivals in Virginia, and presumably came from England, as the -name at that early date was not so general in Ireland, and the profession of the first settler of the name rendered it improbable that he was an Irishman. He was the Rev. George White, a clergyman of the Church of England," who in June, 1635, obtained a grant of 200 acres on the Rauzemund River," and subsequently other large grants of land in what was then New Norfolk County, but which has since been subdivided. In 1637 his wife Blanche and their son Peter were mentioned, and in 1648 allusion is made to a wife Margaret. In 1639 a James White obtained a grant of 350 acres inJames CityCounty, and in 1644 a "John White a grant of a building lotin James City, which was bounded on the west by the Church Yard." What relationship these persons bore to the Rev. Mr. White, the first of the name in the province, the compiler is unable to say, as the county records of wills,con­ veyances, etc., were either destroyed or lost during the late war;but it seems highly probable that they were in some way connected with him, and possibly were brothers of Henry White, ancestor of the North Carolina family, who arrived in the province about that time and took up land in the same county.* Unfortunately the compiler" has not been able to connect them with any family in the Old Country," nor to obtain any infor­ mation about the Rev. George White which would affori a clew *Virginia Patent Records, Land Office, Richmond, Va. :Book I,pp. 240 458-9, 689, 647, 659, 739, 810; Book 11, pp. 10, 84, 176; Book 111, pp. 1, 40, 310; Book IV,pp. 41, 190, 332, 595; Book V,p. 233; Book VI,p. 21. i 1 2 White Family.

  • H.Doc. 108-224 Black Americans in Congress 1870-2007
    “The Negroes’ Temporary Farewell” JIM CROW AND THE EXCLUSION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS FROM CONGRESS, 1887–1929 On December 5, 1887, for the first time in almost two decades, Congress convened without an African-American Member. “All the men who stood up in awkward squads to be sworn in on Monday had white faces,” noted a correspondent for the Philadelphia Record of the Members who took the oath of office on the House Floor. “The negro is not only out of Congress, he is practically out of politics.”1 Though three black men served in the next Congress (51st, 1889–1891), the number of African Americans serving on Capitol Hill diminished significantly as the congressional focus on racial equality faded. Only five African Americans were elected to the House in the next decade: Henry Cheatham and George White of North Carolina, Thomas Miller and George Murray of South Carolina, and John M. Langston of Virginia. But despite their isolation, these men sought to represent the interests of all African Americans. Like their predecessors, they confronted violent and contested elections, difficulty procuring desirable committee assignments, and an inability to pass their legislative initiatives. Moreover, these black Members faced further impediments in the form of legalized segregation and disfranchisement, general disinterest in progressive racial legislation, and the increasing power of southern conservatives in Congress. John M. Langston took his seat in Congress after contesting the election results in his district. One of the first African Americans in the nation elected to public office, he was clerk of the Brownhelm (Ohio) Townshipn i 1855.

  • The Ruth Atwood Black Collection of Alexander Black and Edith O'dell Black Collection #4
    THE RUTH ATWOOD BLACK COLLECTION OF ALEXANDER BLACK AND EDITH O'DELL BLACK COLLECTION #4 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection was presented to St. Lawrence University in July 1980 by Ruth Atwood Black, daughter-in-law of Alexander Black. Alexander Black was the originator of the "picture play," the fore-runner of the motion picture, and was the pioneer of the screen drama. This collection contains an original manuscript of one of these "picture plays" and other works by Black. Also contained in this collection are approximately 275 letters sent to Edith O'Dell Black and Pomeroy Burton of the New York World from around 1903 to 1944. The letters are by eminent journalists, educators and authors of the first third of the twentieth century and often contain lengthy responses to queries by the World editors. The collection also contains around 50 copies of Edith O'Dell's letters to her various correspondents; several autographed manuscripts, signed; and newspaper clippings (xerox copies) relating to the achievements of Edith O'Dell, Alexander Black and their contemporaries. St. Lawrence University does not own the literary rights to this collection. BIOGRAPHICAL Alexander Black was born in New York City on February 7, 1859.

Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line.

This government continued until the division into East and West Jersey, 1676. Robert Barclay was appointed Governor of East Jersey by the proprietors for life, in 1682, and immediately by deputy convened an assembly elected by the people, which sat a^ain in 1686, in 1688, and afterwards at irregular intervals. In West Jersey some of the Governors were appointed by the proprietors, and others by the Legislature, the latter body ap- pointing also the other governmental officers.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State.
