PECKHAM FAMILY of NEWPORT and WESTERLY, R
GENFA.LOGY of ONE BRANCH OF THE PECKHAM FAMILY of NEWPORT AND WESTERLY, R. I. and its ALLIED FAMILIES Compiled in Affectionate Memory of :Emma Frances 7 (Peckham) Bentley by Her Sons William Perry and John Earle Bentley Documentary Evidence by :Emilie Sa.rter, Genealogist Boston, Mass. FOREWORD Genealogies are commonly written for sentimen tal reasons, and if sentiment were to prevail the name of' this booklet would be "Mother's Ancestors". As a practical matter, however, the title of a gene alogy should give some clue to its contents, there fore, I have decided that the title should be Genealogy of One Branch of' the Peckham Family of Newport and Westerly, R. I. and its Allied Families In the early part of the yea:r 1949 I happened to be looking through a Bible which had belonged to my mother, Emma Frances7 {Peckham) Bentley, and there found a :faded piece of writing paper upon which she had written "Mother 's Ancestors John A. Saunders Catherine Maxson John Maxson Sarah Sbrieve Daniel Shrieve Mary Green" She referred, of course, to the ancestors of' her own mother, my grandmother, Mary Ann6 (Saunders) (Saun ders) Peckham. This little memorandum made by my mother, no doubt for my brother, Fred Harold8 Bent ley, who worked out our Bentley lineage, was often on my mind. During the month of August, 1949, my wife and I spent our vacation at Shelter Harbor, a summer re- · sort on the Rhode Island shore, in the town of West erly, which was the home of' many of' my ancestors. -
STONINGTON FINAL TEXT with Photos
STONINGTON PORTRAITS: A Seafaring Saga "STONINGTON PORTRAITS: A Seafaring Saga" is a collection of portraits by artist Sabina Streeter inspired by the lives and personae of the great maritime era. A contin- uation of her previous show "CAPTAINS, MATES, and WIDOWS”, the collection fea- tures a poetic interpretation of Stonington’s iconic seafaring characters of the eigh- teenth and nineteenth century. Originally from Munich, Germany, Sabina Streeter holds family ties to Stonington and is currently based in Sag Harbor, NY. Her studio at 25 Madison Street (built in 1828) is the original residence of the great Whaling Captain, David P. Vail, master of the whaling ship “The Sabina”. Nathaniel Brown Palmer (1799-1877) A famous seafaring captain , and ship designer, Nathaniel Brown Palmer was born in Stonington, Connecticut in 1799. A descendant of Walter Palmer, one of the town's founders, Nathaniel grew into a skilled and fearless seaman, achieving his first command at the young age of 21. At the time, hides of Antarctic Ocean seals were highly valued as items for trade with China. Palmer took his station as second mate on board the first sealing voyage of the Hersilia, the first American vessel known to reach the South Shetland Islands. Aggressively searching for new seal rookeries south of Cape Horn, on 17 November 1820, Palmer and his men, aboard The Hero, became the first Ameri- cans to discover the Antarctic Peninsula. A compelling account of the discovery describes Palmer’s run in with a fellow expedition ship, the Vostok, and it’s commander Fabian Gottlieb Von Bellinghausen: Upon their meeting in the midst of the Arctic fog, the Russian Captain assessed Palmer’s sea charts and was as- tonished to discover that the young seaman had already sighted the land which he himself had been in search of for years. -

Copyright © 2010-2017, klingreport.com Fire and Emergency Medical Services in Connecticut INTRODUCTION Connecticut towns utilize different types of fire departments: career, call, volunteer, and combination departments. Career fire departments employ their personnel on a full-time basis and receive regular compensation. Call fire departments receive nominal benefits and are paid when called out. Volunteer fire departments receive no compensation. A combination department usually has a limited number of personnel as they use full and part-time staff that is augmented with a call force. Generally, career departments will be more expensive than combination departments, which will be more expensive than call departments, which will be more expensive than volunteer departments. Career departments are also known as full-time departments. Some fire departments are full-time by day but call by night and/or on weekends. There are almost 29,800 fire departments in the United States of which only about 15% are full-time departments 1 but protect almost 2/3rds of the population. Not knowing how many full-time departments there were in Connecticut, I did a little research and put the information in this document. -
