C, I912 Harrisburg, Pa. : telegraph printing company I9I2 241051 PREFACE. PREFACE. The present volume of Lineage Records which substantiates the claims of Daughters of the American Revolution, is compiled upon the same general plan as the preceding ones of the series. Summary as the work is and must be, it yet shows here and there bold strokes of the historic pencil, making strong the outlines of in- dividual participants in the great events of our nation's history or establishing the facts of descent which many have from illustrious patriots. The volume is but a skeleton outline of dates, events, personages, yet not lacking in human charm and interest because of our related- ness to an history with which we are so closely interwoven. Those responsible for the editing of this work ask only that it be tried by the standard of its own modest aim, which is to preserve in perma- nent form the verified records of our forebears who fought so valiantly to establish and preserve the principles of our national government.

  • The Slave Trade from Madagascar to Jamaica
    Justin Dunnavant Fall 2012 Africana Bibliography Dr. Dan Reboussin From the Forgotten Shores: The Slave Trade from Madagascar to Jamaica The topic of slavery is very broad but there are considerably less sources when discussing the slave trade from Southeast Africa and, more specifically, from Madagascar to Jamaica. Initial searches for “Madagascar, slave trade, and Jamaica” yielded few results thus I had to redefine and broaden my search terms in addition to diversifying my databases and search engines. I found it useful to research aspects of the trade separately as opposed to all of those terms together. Once I narrowed down a time period (1671- 1719) I was able to search early Madagascar and slave trade history, then early Jamaican history. Searching databases for Madagascar and Jamaica separately greatly increased my search results and ability to find pertinent information. References 1. African Bibliography 2012 Manchester, England: Manchester University Press. Annual 1985-2012. Accessed, 2 December 2012. http://www.africabibliography.cambridge.org/ The African Biography is an extension of Cambridge University’s International African Initiative and features references to all articles published under their aegis. I searched “slave trade Madagascar” and was surprised that it offered journal articles that previous searches on OneSearch and Google Scholar failed to yield. All of my searches led me to articles no earlier than 2003 making this an excellent database for getting the most up-to- date references. Additionally the database is easily navigable with the ability to filter search results by county, region, subject, publication date, author, and document type. These same filters are also available for general browsing making it much easier than browsing other databases.

Sheridan. to Otg Wife, KATHARINE LAWRENCE (CLEAVELAND) LAWRENCE, ARE AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED. ; PREFACE. 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.

    G UIDE TO FREE EVENTS IN WASHINGTON, DC | FEBRUARY 1 - 28, 2018 DC | FEBRUARY IN WASHINGTON, FREE EVENTS UIDE TO Black 2018 History MAYOR MURIEL BOWSER DC COMMISSION ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES & DC BLACK HISTORY CELEBRATION COMMITTEE Mayor Muriel Bowser, the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the DC Black History Celebration Committee are proud to present this guide to events in Washington, DC for the month of February 2018. This guide is also available online at dcarts.dc.gov. Events listing information subject to change; contact the event’s organizer for additional information. s a Harvard-trained historian, Carter G. Woodson, like W. E. B. Du Bois before him, believed that truth could not be denied and that reason would prevail over prejudice. HisA hopes to raise awareness of African American’s contributions to civilization was realized when he and the organization he founded, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), conceived and announced Negro History Week in 1925. The event was first celebrated during a week in February 1926 that encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The response was overwhelming: Black history clubs sprang up; teachers demanded materials to instruct their pupils; and progressive whites, not simply white scholars and philanthropists, stepped forward to endorse the effort. By the time of Woodson’s death in 1950, Negro History Week had become a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. At mid–century, mayors of cities nationwide issued proclamations noting Negro History Week.

  • Daniel Defoe Was Born Is Presumed to Have Been Born in the Fall of 1660
    Chapter 1 London’s Birchin Lane is a short and narrow street, running north-south between the larger Cornhill and Lombard streets. Known in the Middle Ages for its collection of secondhand clothing shops, it eventually became home to several fine men’s clothiers, a destination where men of distinction could pick up something special: a whalebone doublet, perhaps, or a “captain’s suit . stuffed with points, and a pair of velvet slops scored thick with lace.” By the 18th century, it was also home to Old Tom’s Coffee House, which would gain fame by the end of the century for being a hangout of the famous Shakespearean actor, David Garrick. But in 1729, it hosted a no less interesting figure, the rather curious and shadowy Robert Drury. Across town, the famous author Daniel Defoe, widely considered the inventor of the realistic or historical novel, and working under the alias Andrew Moreton Esq., toils over what will be his final work, Second Thoughts Are Best: or, a Further Improvement of a Late Scheme to Prevent Street Robberies. Drury’s story was precisely of the type that most appealed to Defoe and, considering the proximity, there’s little doubt that the famous author had already paid Drury a visit well before his residency at Old Tom’s. * * * Now forty-two years old, Drury sits in Old Tom’s with a mug of coffee, a pile of books on the table in front of him. It’s a closed-in place, full of chatter, laughter, and barracking. Men sip coffee and read their expensive newspapers or listen for fresh news coming up from the boys sent to the docks for that purpose.

  • Octavius V. Catto Nineteenth Century Philadelphia Black Militant: Octavius V
    OCTAVIUS V. CATTO NINETEENTH CENTURY PHILADELPHIA BLACK MILITANT: OCTAVIUS V. CATTO (1839-1871) BY HARRY C. SILCOX* ONE OF the least mentioned figures in Pennsylvania's struggle for 0 human rights during the Reconstruction Era is black teacher Octavius Valentine Catto. He was the one leader around whom Philadelphia blacks rallied and the one that the state's Radical Republicans most consulted. Possessor of a combative and aggressive nature, Catto was linked with every important black movement of the day. His assassination in the election riots of 1871 only served to enhance his popularity and make him a martyr still remembered with pride by black Philadelphians. No less a figure than W.E.B. DuBois was taken by Catto's youthfulness, militancy, and courage on behalf of black causes. To him, Catto's death was a tragedy for urban northern blacks. Despite this acclaim, few historians of the Reconstruction Era be- sides DuBois have even mentioned Catto in their writings. This oversight can be traced to a number of factors. Catto, at the time of his death, was a local figure just emerging on the national scene, thus appearing at first glance to be a rather unimportant black leader. Ignoring men like Catto, historians chose to devote most of their attention to events taking place in the south. This view of Recon- struction history tended to minimize the importance of events taking place in the north. Catto's rise to power in an urban black community of the north offers another view of blacks previously hidden by the mass of writings on Reconstruction in the south.

A grandson of the gallant Truxtun, Beale was bom in the Navy and his early life was passed at sea. However, he fought with the army at San Pasqual and when night fell upon that indecisive battlefield, with Kit Carson and an anonymous Indian, by a daring journey through a hostile country, he brought to Commodore Stockton in San Diego, the news of General Kearny's desperate situation. Beale brought the first gold East, and was truly, in those stirring days, what his friend and fellow- traveller Bayard Taylor called him, "a pioneer in the path of empire." Resigning from the Navy, Beale explored the desert trails and the moimtain passes which led overland to the Pacific, and later he surveyed the routes and built the wagon roads over which the mighty migration passed to people the new world beyond the Rockies.
