Her manuscript was complete and almost ready for publication some years before her death on November 18, 1949. How­ ever, because of publication costs and lack of opportunity at that time for final preparation of the material for printing, her notes were stored to await editing and publishing at a more convenient time. Only now, eleven years later, has the opportunity come to me to ready her work for publication. Most of the material remains as she herself wrote it, unchanged and unrevised as to the time element. Hence, the use of the present tense in her narrative will involve many present-day discrepancies as to occu­ pation, residence, offspring, and other elements subject to change. It should be clear that she is speaking of persons, facts, and conditions as they existed at the time of writing, about 1942. To revise the entire book, trace all branches of the family up to the present time, and re­ write the history from a 1960 viewpoint would have been a ti"me-con­ suming and involved undertaking. Besides, the work is the product of my mother's thought and effort, already long overdue for publishing. I have attempted to add current data relating only to descendants of the Daniel Lewis line, since that information was more readily avail­ able than any other and obtaining it occasioned little delay. With other lines of descendancy traced to a point within readers' ready knowledge and memory, it will not be difficult for each branch to supply sufficient supplemental data to constitute complete and current individual family records. James Daniel Lewis, who inherited the land records of William, Patrick, and William Patrick Lewis, found among them a deed which shows that the father of William Lewis was William Lewis of Albe­ marle County, Bertie precinct, North Carolina, a leather worker, who married the daughter of Thomas Banks, also of Bertie precinct, some­ time before 1736. The area of North Carolina was originally included in Virginia. Bertie precinct was established in 1722 from part of Albe­ marle County, which extended from Virginia to the Cape Fear River V and Clarendon County. Thomas Banks on Nov. 10, 1736, issued a deed of gift which reads in part as follows: " .•. for sundry good causes and considerations me hereunto moving but more particular for the good will and E:ffection which I have & do bear to my son in Law William Lewis of Bertie Precinct Cordwainer .... give ••• one certain Plantation & Tract of Land lyeing & being in Bertie prect aforesaid Chinckapen Neck Containing by Estimation two hundred acres (more or lefs) Bounded thus Viz Beginning at a marked Oak Thence running along a line of mark trees to John Vanpelt's land it being my Plantation in Plum tree Neck formerly Conveyed to Abraham Bewlet from William Bush as Records will appear." "This deed was registered at the November Court in 1736, entered with I. W. Wynns, C. M., May 7, 1739. The document was wit­ nessed by Thos. Lee, Jurat, and Isaac Lewis. The reference to the Van Pelt property is interesting, as it may furnish a clue to the ances­ try of Mourning Van Pelt Lewis. Had this information been at hand earlier, research could have been done on the parents of the South Car­ olina pioneers. CHARLOTTE STEVENSON 309 Wateree Avenue Columbia, S. C. March, 1960 vi INTRODUCTION As the senior member of my immediate family, many inquiries have been directed to me about the family history. Older persons who had interested themselves in family relationships had passed away and, though this subject had never held particular interest for me, I realized a chronicle of this sort was needed. I regret that those more competent to make this study did not make a written record before this time. My father, Daniel Lewis, about 1880, wrote a rather long account at the request of one of the relatives "in the West," which would have been invaluable. He was told that it was to become a part of a book on the family history. Though I had opportunity to see his paper, I did not take advantage of it, for my interest had never been in genealogy until I realized a few years ago that as the only surviving great-grand­ daughter of the pioneer, the little knowledge I possessed about his family would perish with me. My brother, William Patrick Lewis, has been helpful, and I acknowledge indebtedness to those who have in­ formed me about their families. After I dictated my own recollections, I wrote present-day repre­ sentatives of the various branches of the family for their records, and then my daughters gave such time as they could spare to search old South Carolina records, where these were available. In the course of research, others of the same name who were contemporaries and neighbors were also followed through to see if the relationship guessed at could be established, but, though considerable information was amassed about these early settlers, the data revealed has been left out of the account. More effort went into a search for the ancestors of William Lewis, without success. According to Robert Mills' Statistics of South Carouna, published in 1826, Horry County was settled about 1733, principally by emigrants from Ireland. The author says that Marion County was settled about 1750, chiefly by Virginians. From both counties considerable numbers immigrated to the West, by which was meant Alabama and Missis­ sippi. Many of the family who moved were lost sight of in this way. Some branches of the family asserted that William Lewis was de­ scended from Virginians who were de.finitely named, but reference to the well-known family referred to, which has preserved family records, Vll showed no proof of relationship. James Norton, a descendant of Wil­ liam Lewis, asserted that William Lewis was descended from a former governor of Virginia, but there were no records at hand to corroborate this. As a man in public life, modest and characterized by a strong sense of integrity, Mr. Norton would not have made such a statement without a factual basis. Another: movement responsible for populating South Carolina was the removal of Welsh colonists from Pencader Hundred, New Castle County, Pennsylvania, to a large tract of land in South Carolina near the lands granted to William Lewis. The old Baptist church records of Pencader Hundred have been studied, as the Welsh were largely · Baptists, though some were Quakers. There were many by the name of Lewis in the early Welsh tract, but no satisfactory identification was obtained; besides, Sellers' account was more strongly relied upon. He knew the Lewis family well. The names Cade, Cady, and Pennsyl­ vania seemed to suggest identification with the Welsh colonists, but this was. merely a guess. All the old Lewises were Baptist. Several of my correspondents have inquired about the Lewis crest, but since the European origins of William Lewis and his wife are not known, naturally none of his descendants may properly use a crest. In any event, the use of heraldic devices was not popular with Ameri­ can pi~neers. There are de.fin'ite procedures for such usage and from my observation the practice is, generally speaking, highly unorthodox. I have been troubled throughout by conflicting dates furnished me. Even brothers and sisters gave different · dates for their parents and those gone before, I have tried to clear these where I could but am aware that errors will be found, which I regret, for the value of a study such as this lies in its accuracy. Another point should be made: absence of reference to education and accomplishments implies no lack of advantages and attainments, but rather indicates that I had no knowledge of such facts either .first-hand or from others in the family. I have always had aloving and, I believe, just pride in my family. "Not ·many mighty, not many noble," but they have left their foot­ prints on the sands of time and their influence still lives with us today. I believe these forebears merit our remembrance, and this genealogy has been prepared to honor them and to enlighten those who follow. MARY LEWIS STEVENSON May, 1945 Vlll Ch.apter I WILLIAM LEWIS OF.HORRY COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA William Lewis of Horry County, South Carolina, was born in Vir­ ginia in 17 40 and died in August, 1811. He settled close to Sandy Bluff on the road between Nichols and Galivants Ferry, South Carolina. Horry County Deed Book L, page 504, in describing land sold by Solomon Strickland to Richard Lewis, Sr., on September 29, 1832, describes one tract of land as part of a grant made in April, 1785, to Wiliiam Lewis, of more than 991 acres lying near lands in the pos­ session of Hardy Lewis and Patrick Lewis, his sons.

  • Henry Tutwiler, Alva Woods, and the Problem Of
    SOUTHERN HONOR AND NORTHERN PIETY: HENRY TUTWILER, ALVA WOODS, AND THE PROBLEM OF DISCIPLINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, 1831-1837 by KEVIN LEE WINDHAM A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Kevin Lee Windham 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The University of Alabama opened its doors in April 1831, and over the next six years, the first president, Alva Woods, was confronted by numerous episodes of student misdeeds. Knife fights, dueling, shootings, slave baiting, hazing, the torture of animals, and the destruction of property were common events on campus. Woods—a Baptist minister from Vermont—was never able to end the troubles; in fact, student defiance ultimately led to mass resignations by the faculty and the installation of a new president. However, the traditional reading of Woods’ tenure at Alabama has not taken into account deeper issues. At the heart of Woods’ difficulty was a contest for discipline. He came to Tuscaloosa determined to establish a religiously orthodox vision of virtuous conduct for the future leaders of Alabama. Woods himself was the product of New England’s theological schism between Calvinism and Unitarianism. At that time he was mentored by his uncle Leonard Woods, who instilled in him a challenge to counter the spread of liberal theology by teaching the ethics of Christian piety. This was the charge that he pursued first at Columbian College, then as interim president of Brown University, as president of Transylvania University, and finally at Alabama.

  • Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876
    "A people peculiarly blessed": Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876. Marian Crenshaw Austin Submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies University of East Anglia June 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis explores nationalism, state identity and community through the lens of one Southern planter family. The Crenshaw family are traced from their origins in Virginia, to South Carolina and thence to Alabama Territory during the first wave of migration between 1816 and 1819. Establishing a strong kinship community upon migration, they fostered an identity with their new state which superseded that of American or Confederate identity. Employing genealogy as a research methodology to enhance the understanding of kinship networks, within the framework of a detailed analysis of the Crenshaw family’s archive, this research demonstrates how familial power dynamics created and redefined their identity as Alabamians, Southerners and Americans. Employing the framework of national vs. local identity, this project reflects on the relative importance of localism over and above national loyalty and the possibilities for localism superseding national identity prior to the Civil War and beyond. Planters, lawyers and politicians, the Crenshaws belonged to the planter elite and as such accrued significant land and wealth, including a large community of enslaved people.

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.

  • For Lincoln, 1854 Was an Annus Mirabilis. As He Later Said of Himself, by That Year The
    Chapter Ten “Aroused As He Had Never Been Before”: Reentering Politics (1854-1855) For Lincoln, 1854 was an annus mirabilis. As he later said of himself, by that year the practice of law “had almost superseded the thought of politics in his mind, when the repeal of the Missouri compromise aroused him as he had never been before.”1 He and thousands of other Northerners were outraged by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which threw open to slavery millions of acres that had long been set aside for freedom. That legislation, introduced in January 1854 by Stephen A. Douglas, allowed settlers in western territories to decide for themselves if slavery should exist there; Douglas called this “popular sovereignty.” The statute, as its author predicted, raised “a hell of a storm” because it repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which forbade slavery in the northern portion of the Louisiana Purchase (encompassing what became the states of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.)2 Indignation swept the Free States, where voters had been relatively indifferent to the slavery issue since the Compromise of 1850.3 “There is a North, thank God,” exclaimed a New England 1 Autobiography written for John Locke Scripps, [ca.

Kathleen Cottingham Dean Lowndesboro, Alabama O October 8, 1972 o Russell Home - Birthplace of Mildred Russell McKeithen, owned and occupied by her Mother's family since I856. O Round marble top table in the Russell parlor graced by a photograph O album mentioned on page 151 Lowndes Court House n PROLOGUE Beginning December 14, 1969 Alabama celebrated its susquecential birthday* The news media was prufuse with data concerning the state's history and accomplishments. The theater, historical societies, and other organizations gave tribute to the mother state in bringing to its ci tit ens and the public an awareness of her great heritage. This small sketch of Lowndes County's history was compiled and given in the January meeting 1969 of the Lowndes County Historical Society. Lowndes County was then 139 years old, eleven years younger than the state. Although emphasis is placed on the county's history one should remember that Lowndes County is the heart of Alabama's Black Belt. Archivist the late Peter Brannon stated at one time, the most typical of this region. All phases of its history and development have been largely determined by conditions and circumstances common to the southern region of the state.
