These lines are related to the author’s Casey line (see pedigree chart on the following page for these connections). The au- thors of this book are experienced genealogists and have previously published four family histories. Robert Casey and his father, Harold Casey, published “Casey Family History” in 1980 and then published “Shelton, Wininger and Pace Families” in 1988. Robert Casey and his mother, Bernice (Brooks) Casey, published “Brooks Family History” in 1982 and “Olliff Family History” in 1992. Robert Casey and his mother, Bernice (Brooks) Casey, are currently compiling “Bryan Family History.” Robert and his wife, Diane (Thede) Casey, are also compiling “Thede, Aubil and Garver Families.” The Casey family has compiled over 57,000 cousins so far in their research. This is the first edition of this book and was compiled by Robert Casey and Robert’s father, Harold Casey. Although Harold Casey died on January 8, 1991, this book will continue to use his name as one of the authors because of his sig- nificant contribution to this project. It is highly recommended that anyone wish- ing to preserve their Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker family history, write and contribute any information in their possession. We are specially interested in copies of older photographs, family history recorded in Family Bibles, existing family history sketches, genealogical correspondence that contains a significant quantity of information, letters and diaries written prior to 1900, older legal doc- uments, census records as well as recent additions to your families. Additional information is greatly appreciated and will be included in future edi- tions and updates of this book. Much information received by the authors on our family history has been copied and revised several times prior to its inclusion in our book. The authors have learned from experience that copying and interpret- ing usually results is less accurate information. Additionally, primary sources of valuable information as well as critical information are lost in this process. If a large amount of information is derived from another person or existing written material, then please send the name and address of the source or Xerox the exist- ing material. The authors can not emphasize enough, the need and usefulness of original source material. Much of the history of the Stevenson, Arrington and Tucker families is incomplete and some may be incorrect. The authors wish to apologize to those cousins whose information on their line is briefly covered or contains errors. There are many of our relatives who are interested in adding to our family history but do not know that this book has been published. Addi- tional names and addresses of other interested family historians are very difficult to find without your help. Information has been obtained from many sources and references are listed with each family sketch to aid future research on the lines contained in this book.

James was born in either 1720 or 1721 in North Belfast, Ireland. James Stevenson immigrated to Maryland and married Sarah Kelly there. Sarah was also born in Ireland and is said to be the daughter of John Kelly. In the 1770s, James and Sarah Stevenson moved to the Rowan/Iredell County, North Carolina area. There is evidence that James Stevenson (born 1721) may have had two brothers, John Stevenson and William Stevenson and that his mother married a Mr. White after the death of James’ father. The Stevenson manuscript by Marvin A. McLain refers to a book entitled, “White Family History.” According to this book (not in possession of the author): “James’ father had died and their widowed mother had remarried to a man by the name of White. The White fam- ily now consisted of three sons, James, John and William Stevenson, their mother and step-father. William Stevenson was bound out to a tailor in Belfast for seven years to learn the trade and when the family left Ireland for America, the tailor would not release him, so he was left behind to catch up with them later.” This account of the Stevenson widow who married a Mr. White is supported by the first edition of the book, “A History and Genealogical Record of the Stevenson Family, From 1748 to 1898.” This 1900 book states that William Stevenson’s mother married a Mr. White and that other siblings of William Stevenson were with this new White family household. This book does not mention either John or James Stevenson by name and mentions no Maryland connections. This book stated that “William Stevenson, my great grandfather, was of Scotch-Irish descent, born and raised in the north of Ireland, perhaps Antrim county. He came to America in 1748 and stopped in what is now Wash- ington county, Pennsylvania, at the home of his mother, who, after the death of his father, had married again, and with her second husband, Mr. White, and the rest of her Stevenson children, had emigrated to America several years before her son William could come. He had been bound to a tailor in Ireland for seven years to learn the tailor’s trade, and his master would not give him up to come with the rest of the family when they came to America.” This 1900 book later states: “Not long after that he (William Stevenson) married Miss Mary McLelland, of a Scotch-Irish family, who, perhaps, had come from Ireland to America at, or about the same time his mother and her family came and settled in the same neighborhood.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

CHERIF BASSIOUNI* "Strategy is a system of stop-gaps." -Moltke' INTRODUCTION The words of Von Moltke, Germany's well-known general, are an apt prelude to the strategy of justice pursued by the Allies after World War I. It was, indeed, a "system of stop-gaps." World War I, commonly referred to as the "Great War" and "the war to end all wars," took place between 1914 and 1918 and "was the first general war, involving all the Great Powers of the day, to be fought out in the modem, industrialized world."2 The trigger for the war was an incident that occurred in the volatile Balkans 3 on June 28, 1914, in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated by Gavrilo Princip as they rode in a car in Sarajevo.4 The " Professor of Law, President, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University College of Law; President, International Association of Penal Law; President, International Institute for Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences.

They sought to extend women’s rights in parliamentary enfranchisement of women in 1918. In many ways, through a variety of organisations and Scotland this meant ‘women 30 years or over who were campaigns, often inter-related and with overlapping themselves, or their husbands, occupiers as owners or memberships. Of particular importance were the tenants of lands or premises in their constituency in forms of franchise to which women were admitted which they claimed the vote’.2 A woman could also prior to 1918, and the ways in which women be registered if her husband was a local government responded to opportunities to vote and to seek public elector; the local government franchise in Scotland office at local level.

    How Did Law, Order, and Growth Develop in Oklahoma?

    Chapter How did law, order, and growth develop 10 in Oklahoma? Where did the name “Oklahoma” originate? In 1866, the U.S. and Five Civilized Tribes signed the Reconstruction treaties. That was when Choctaw Chief Allen Wright coined the word “Oklahoma.” He made it from two Choctaw words, “okla” and “humma,” meaning “Land of the Red Man.” He meant it for the eastern half of Indian Terri- tory, the home of the five tribes. In later years, however, “Oklaho- ma country” became the common name for the Unassigned Lands. It was 1890 when the western half of the old Indian Territory became the Territory of Oklahoma. What was provisional government? On April 23, 1889, the day after the Land Run, settlers met in Oklahoma City and Guthrie to set up temporary governments. Other towns followed suit. Soon all the towns on the prairie had a type of skeleton government, usually run by a mayor. Homesteaders also chose town marshals and school boards. They chose committees to resolve dispute over land claims. Sur- veyors mapped out Guthrie and Oklahoma City. There were dis- putes about an unofficial government making official property Allen Wright Oklahoma Historical lines, but, later, the surveys were declared legal. Today, they remain the Society basis for land titles in those cities. The temporary or provisional governments were indeed “unof- ficial.” They succeeded only because the majority of people agreed to their authority. Not everyone agreed, however, and crime was hard to control. Often troops from Fort Reno closed the gap between order and disorder. The army’s presence controlled violence enough to keep set- tlers there.
