[email protected] Revised June 14, 2013 The Record, published quarterly since 1870 by the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, is the second-oldest genealogical journal in the nation. Its contents include many articles concerning families outside of the state of New York. As this file was created for my own use a few words about the format of the entries are in order. The entries are listed by Record volume. Each volume is preceded by the volume number and year in boldface. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 4, will illustrate the format used: 4 (1873):32-39, 94-98, 190-194 (Cont. from 3:190, cont. to 5:38) Records of the Society of Friends of the City of New York and Vicinity, from 1640 to 1800 Abraham S. Underhill The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the Record pages for an article found in that volume. When a series spans more than one volume a note in parentheses indicates the volume and page from which or to which it is continued. The second line shows the title of the article, and the third line lists the author. I have listed only articles with genealogical or historical content of interest to the genealogical researcher. I have not included articles and items such as "Book Reviews" and "Queries," although some replies to queries are included. This file is a work in progress, and as I add groups of volumes revisions will be posted. Please address any corrections to the compiler at the email address given above.

  • New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society the New-York Historical Society Holds
    New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits at the New-York Historical Society The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation’s premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society -- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists -- while reflecting the area’s Dutch roots and its strong ties with England. In the past these paintings were valued for their insights into the lives of the sitters, and they include distinguished New Yorkers who played leading roles in its history. However, the focus here is placed on the paintings themselves and their own histories as domestic objects, often passed through generations of family members. They are encoded with social signals, conveyed through dress, pose, and background devices. Eighteenth-century viewers would have easily understood their meanings, but they are often unfamiliar to twenty-first century eyes. These works raise many questions, and given the sparse documentation from the period, not all of them can be definitively answered: why were these paintings made, and who were the artists who made them? How did they learn their craft? How were the paintings displayed? How has their appearance changed over time, and why? And how did they make their way to the Historical Society? The state of knowledge about these paintings has evolved over time, and continues to do so as new discoveries are made. This exhibition does not provide final answers, but presents what is currently known, and invites the viewer to share the sense of mystery and discovery that accompanies the study of these fascinating works.

  • George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3A, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 6
    George Washington Papers, Series 3, Subseries 3A, Varick Transcripts, Letterbook 6 To THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS Head Quarters, New Windsor, March 1, 1781. Sir: The inclosed memorial of Colo. Hazen was this day put into my hands. Many of the matters mentioned in it are better known to Congress than to myself. The whole are so fully stated, as to speak for themselves, and require only the determination of Congress. The case of the Canadian Officers and Soldiers I know to be peculiarly distressing and truly entitled to redress, if the means are to be obtained. The Regiment, not being appropriated to any State, must soon dwindle into nothing, unless some effectual mode can be devised for recruiting it. Colo. Hazens pretensions to promotion seems to me to have weight, but how far they ought to be admitted, the general principles which Congress mean to adopt for the regulation of this important point will best decide. In justice to Colo. Hazen, I must testify, that he has always appeared to me a sensible, 83 spirited and attentive Officer. I have the honor etc. To THE PRESIDENT OF CONGRESS Head Quarters, New Windsor, March 1, 1781. Sir: On opening the inclosed, I found it intended for 83. In the writing of Tench Tilghman. The letter was read in Congress on March 23 and referred to Artemas Ward, John Sullivan, and Isaac Motte. your Excellency, though addressed to me. I intend setting out in the morning for Newport to confer with the French General and Admiral upon the operations of the ensuing Campaign.

Robert F. Lucid, 3 vols. (Cambridge: Belknap Press, 1968) Gale, Robert, Richard Henry Dana, Jr. (New York: Twayne Publishing, 1969) Shapiro, Samuel, Richard Henry Dana Jr., 1815-1882 ([East Lansing:] Michigan State University Press, 1961) SOURCE OF COLLECTION : Gift of Worcester Law Library, 1996 COLLECTION DESCRIPTION : Richard Henry Dana (1815-1882) was born in Cambridge, Mass., on 1 August 1815, the son of Richard Henry Dana (1787-1879), an essayist and poet. Richard, Jr. entered Harvard College in 1831, but he left in 1834 and went to sea. His experiences became the subject of his book Two Years Before the Mast , published in 1840. Dana re-entered Harvard in 1836, and graduated in 1837. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1840. His book The Seaman's Friend (1841) was a manual of general and legal advice for sailors. In 1841 Dana married Sarah Watson (1814-1907) of Hartford Conn. and they had six children. Dana first entered into practice in 1842 with his brother "Ned," Edward Trowbridge Dana (1818-1869). In 1848, this partnership was dissolved and Dana next entered into partnership with Francis Edward Parker (1821-1886). The majority of Dana's cases involved maritime disputes, and Dana frequently represented seamen who had been mistreated or deprived of their wages. He handled a wide variety of other legal work, however, including cases involving insurance claims, divorces, and occasional criminal trials.

  • Valley Forge Map
    Episode 7, 2012: Valley Forge Map Ruth Taylor: I'm Ruth Taylor. I'm the Executive Director of the Newport Historical Society in Rhode Island. It has about 10,000 objects, documenting Newport history from 1640, literally, until today. John Austin Stevens was actually a New Yorker who ended up dying in Newport. His papers were donated to us by his daughter in the 1940's. All kinds of bits and pieces. And then we noticed this obviously older paper. When we unfolded it, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I could see the Schuylkill River labeled, and it became clear that it was a map of Washington's encampment at Valley Forge. My very first thought was, "Do people know about this? Is this what it appears to be?" Wes Cowan: Well, let's – let's take a look at what you've got here. I'm – I'm pretty excited about this. Schuylkill River. Ruth: Here, take a look over here. Wes: Valley Forge River... Wow. Ruth: And there's the actual forge, right there. Wes: You’re telling me that this is the plan of the camp at Valley Forge. Ruth: Well, it appears to be. Wes: What do you know about where it came from? Ruth: It was found with the John Austin Stevens papers. He was a descendent of a Continental Army officer. He became fascinated with the American Revolution. Wes: How long have you had it? Ruth: Well, we've had it since the 1940's, but apparently we've only known about it since I found it last summer.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research.

  • A Counterintelligence Reader, Volume 1, Chapter 1
    CHAPTER 1 The American Revolution and the Post-Revolutionary Era: A Historical Legacy Introduction From 1774 to 1783, the British government and its upstart American colony became locked in an increasingly bitter struggle as the Americans moved from violent protest over British colonial policies to independence As this scenario developed, intelligence and counterintelligence played important roles in Americas fight for freedom and British efforts to save its empire It is apparent that British General Thomas Gage, commander of the British forces in North America since 1763, had good intelligence on the growing rebel movement in the Massachusetts colony prior to the Battles of Lexington and Concord His highest paid spy, Dr Benjamin Church, sat in the inner circle of the small group of men plotting against the British Gage failed miserably, however, in the covert action and counterintelligence fields Gages successor, General Howe, shunned the use of intelligence assets, which impacted significantly on the British efforts General Clinton, who replaced Howe, built an admirable espionage network but by then it was too late to prevent the American colonies from achieving their independence On the other hand, George Washington was a first class intelligence officer who placed great reliance on intelligence and kept a very personal hand on his intelligence operations Washington also made excellent use of offensive counterintelligence operations but never created a unit or organization to conduct defensive counterintelligence or to coordinate its
