EDIVARD W. SAMUELL, JR. (Ret.) Washington Samuell, Kentucky famer and father i:>f the first Dallasite Samuell, was horn on 1 December 1796 in north · central Kentucky . (lJ: He was the · son .of Cornstalk rlilitia Captain, William Samuell, Junior, and Judith Dupuy Samuell,(2) whose antecedents may be traced to the Crusader warriors of Godfrey de Boui llon and a grand chamberlain of the Ho ly Roman Empire. (3) He was to. never know his mother • for she died within two .years of his birth, prob.ably . c!ur ing the cl)ildbirth of his sister Mary in 1798.

(6) · Tragedy struck again with his premat\lre death in 1804, leaving the two infants' completely in the care of their grandmother. In the same year, the two children became joint owners of 450 acres in Noodford County:, Kentucky, as the result of the • settlement of the es ta te of their grandfather, Ba:;-t'holomew Dupuy, a veteran of the . campaigns of George Rogers Clarke . (8) Washington and Mary remain~d under the care oJ .t~eir grandmother at le~;~. through the year 1812T 'during which time the. settlement of the es ta te of their • father resulted in ·their receiving three slaves and a sum of $982. 75. (9) By 1819, Washington and Mary Samuell had left. the home .of their grandmother: in \Voodford County and moved to Scott Cbunty, Kentucky. The sale of Nelson County land to Alexander McClure that .year suggests that the tw.o children spent some of their adolescence in that coont'y. between 1812 .and J819·. (,10) . During this . peribd;. Washington may have lived 'l.n Henry County because he. acquired 70 acres <?f land • there. However, by 18B he :had settled. in Scott. County on Cane. Run-in the bluegrass country of Kentucky.

  • Conrad Totman Papers, 1800-2005 (Bulk 1948-2005
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Conrad Totman Papers 1800-2008 (Bulk: 1948-2005) 65 boxes (53 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 447 Collection overview A scholar of the history and culture of early modern Japan, Conrad Totman began his career as a student of ornamental horticulture at the University of Massachusetts. After graduation in 1953, Totman served in the army for three years in South Korea where got his first taste of Japanese culture during leave. His experiences in Japan piqued his scholarly interest, and upon his return to the states with his new wife Michiko, he finished college at UMass and did his graduate work at Harvard where he received a doctorate in 1964 for a study of politics during the Tokugawa period. Totman held academic positions at UC Santa Barbara, Northwestern, and Yale before retiring in 1997. The bulk of the collection documents Professor Totman's education and professional work as a scholar and teacher of Japanese history. Dispersed throughout is a treasure trove of information on Japan in general, and particularly on his specialties: early modern Japan and forestry and environmental management. An enormous, highly influential, and cherished part of Totman's life is his family, and the Totman clan is well represented in this collection. Reams of genealogical material document the rich heritage of the Totman family, including the transcribed love letters and diaries of his paternal grandmother and biographies of Totman ancestors, as well as hundreds of letters written between Michiko and her family in Japan. Background on Conrad D. Totman On a wintry 5th of January, 1934, Conrad Davis Totman was born in an upstairs bedroom of the family farmhouse in Conway, Massachusetts.

Raymond, 1962 Printed by Runnymede Press, Palo Al to Foreword In the early l920's I prepared certain notes on the ancestry and collateral relatives of my parents, John Marshall Raymond and Jennie Abbot (Ward) Raymond, in so far as I could learn about them from living members of the family. Jennie Abbot Raymond bad quite a few notes which she had prepared as well as certain family bibles and a small Abbot family record, all of which are now in my pos­ sesion and have proved to be valuable sources of information in compiling this work. 'lhe Ancestries. In 1952 Dr. Harriet P. Leach, an able genealogist, who bad done considerable research on the Raymond ancestry, generously furnished me copies of the results of her work. From this came the inspiration to complete the work on the Raymond side and to do the same for the Abbot side of the family. Although less complete than the Raymond and Abbot ancestries, the ancestry of the first wife of John Marshall Raymond, Anna Belle Jackson, based again on the framework of notes which Dr.

  • A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti
    A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in the United States Parti Edited by HERBERT LEVENTHAL and JAMES E. MOONEY PROGRAM FOR LOYALIST STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS Sponsored by tbe American Antiquarian Society City University of J^ew Tork University of London and University ofJVew Brunswick ROBERT A. EAST, Executive Director IN recent volumes of the Proceedings of the American Anti- quarian Society installments of material of the Program for Loyalist Studies and Publications have appeared. This pres- ent installment follows the Canadian Bibliography in Volume 82, the Loyalist Newspapers in Volume 83, and the Loyalist Imprints Printed in America in Volume 84. It is modeled upon the Canadian example except that in Canada the re- search for the finding guide was done admirably by one per- son working full-time for a period. In the United States the research for the finding guide was done by a number of schol- ars, most of whom hold doctorates in American Revolution- ary history, but they were working part-time. This difference has led to variety in the coverage given each state contained in this first part ofthe finding guide (covering the eastern states geographically from north to south, through Mary- 73 74 American Antiquarian Society land), but the editors, Herbert Leventhal and James E. Mooney, have imposed upon that difference the sameness of the format as much as it allows. At the start ofthe listing of sources in each state or district the name of the compiler is entered and the credit is not given again in that section. In the case of joint compilers the same obtains with no separate credit given.
