PREFACE N compiling this Read Genealogy, I have been in actuated part by. my . enjoyment of such work, and in part by a desire to -do something of value for the Read family to which my mother belonged, I realize, however, that it is a very incomplete book, for much that whs important has passed beyond recovery with the passing away of the older generations and their neglect of family records. If I had had larger means I might, perhaps, by expensive researches have discovered more facts and made a more perfect record. I have found the written records few and scattered, and not always correct. It has been necessary to depend much on Tradition ; but knowing the uncertainty of such evidence, I have been careful about accepting it unless well verified. I feel sure that the statements of this book can be depended on with reasonable confidence. Some of the kin- dred have helped cordially, for which I return most hearty thanks. Others have seemed indifferent and unresponsive, and if any such do not find much about their own families, they certainly will not blame me.

Xew York. c « • < INTRODUCTION DESIRE to know something about ones ancestors seems natural to Mankind, and while one is neither A the better nor the worse on account of his Pedigree, yet it seems a desirable thing to preserve family histories in a Genealogy. This is the more necessary for sometimes the disposition of titles and estates depend on the record. The Bible gives us many genealogies, and we know that among the Hebrews, Chinese, Arabians and Oriental nations generally, much attention was, and is, paid to genealogies. In England, Parish Registers of births, deaths and marriages have been kept for centuries. The early New England laws required them to be entered in the Town Clerk's Office, and valuable help has been had, in this book, from that source. In New York, until 1887, no such records were required, but many families arc collecting and printing their records, which can be found in the various libraries. The Author's Apology. Though not a Read by name, yet the fact that his mother was one, will be apology enough (if apology be needed), for the effort the author has made to col- lect, arrange and preserve these items of the family history of the Reads, to whom lie belongs through his mother, who was Maria, daughter of William Read. Female and Collateral Lines. It has been the author's pur- pose to give a record of all the families descended from our Read ancestor, both on the male and female lines. And, also, notes on other families with whom they have intermarried, be- lieving that these notes would add to the value of the book. 6 INTRODUCTION. Meaning of the Name. The name Read has been the sub- ject of many speculations as to its origin and meaning. One writer says that Aschanaz, great-grandson of Noah, was the founder of the family. Another traces it to Rhea, an ancient goddess of the old Greek and Roman mythology, who was the wife of Saturn and mother of Juno, Neptune, and the mighty Jupiter himself. Others think it may denote an occupation, from the Saxon Raed — speech, discourse. Or that it may have been used to denote a resemblance to a certain well known plant. Ried in German denotes a hollow stalk. Some think it has been as in or Reed the Good Conrad, or Reed compounded, Ethelred, ; the Powerful; Eldred, or Reed the Elder. The spelling (and misspelling) appear to have been dictated largely by fancy. We note no less than 18, viz : Read, Reed, Reade, Reid, Ried, Ride, Red. Rad, Raad, Rheade. Rheadus. Reda. Rada, Redha, Wrede, Whrede, Wada. Wrada. Reeds of the Old World. The name Read is found in sev- eral European countries. We note that in the 15th century in Scotland there was a famous Robert Reed, or "Robin of Redds- dale" (Reeds-dale), whose figure was carved, on a high rock as an armor-clad Giant, for his deeds of valor. In the same vale there dwelt a powerful elan, a branch of which was called Reed- ' ' Maid of Perth ' ' . in his Fair augh ( Reed-oh ) Sir Walter Scott, refers to them. A Peter Reed was knighted by Charles V, at the seige of Barbary. His portrait hangs in the council house of St. Giles Church, Edinboro. which he endowed with a fund 8 in to have the bells rung every 'day, at 4 in the morning and the evening. Hod's and Burke's works on English and Scotch Noble Families, give several Reades, with their pedigrees and coats of arms. At the present time (1912) we hear of one Sir George Comptoi) Reade, who is a plain American farmer at Howell.

The Reads in America are quite a numerous and patriotic tribe. They were among the early settlers of New England. Pennsylvania and Virginia. As early as 1630, "William Reade. born 1605. whom we believe to have been our ancestor, was one of Gov. Bradford's partners in settling the colony of Boston, Mass. His large family came over in 1635, in the ship "Assur- ance." which sailed from Gravesend. July 26th. 1635. He set- tled at Weymouth, 20 miles south of Boston, on the coast. His brother, John Reade, came in 1643. and settled in Rehoboth. Mass. In 1630 there also came, to Salem. Mass.. a "Col. Read." son of Sir Thomas Cornwall, and grandson of the Lord of Shrope- shire. This Col. Reed, and his posterity, were leading men in Salem. About the same time another Read family was found in Plymouth. In 1660. John Reed came to Providence. R. I.. In 1637. George Read came to Virginia. His great-great-grandson was George Washington, "Father of his country." The Reads can claim Washington for their family record. Joseph Read, probably a relative, was Washington's military secretary, and would, probably, have been President had he lived. He was a man of unusual ability.* George Read of Del- aware, was one of the five men who had the double honor of being a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a framer of the Federal Constitution. He lived in tine style at Newcastle, Del.

He was an ardent patriot, and in a variety of very responsible military, civil and diplomatic positions, showed such talents and rendered such invaluable service, that he was counted, in his day. one of the great men of this nation. His moral and religious life was blameless. He died in 1785. while yet in his prime. See Sparks Am. Biog. 8 INTRODUCTION. men in literature and statesmanship. William Read of Woburn, Mass., arrived Oct. 6th, 1635. His descendant, James Reed, who lived at FitzWilliam, or Keene. N. H., commanded the 2d Regi- ment at Bunker Hill, which did heavy fighting, losing 166 killed and wounded. James Reed was later made a Brigadier General by the Provincial Congress. Besides James Reed, there were at Bunker Hill, Jeremiah Reed, and Benjamin Reed, Jr., of Rut- land, who was killed June 17th, 1775. and also William Warrin. killed at the same battle. It is a well authenticated tradition that our Nathaniel Read had one or more uncles at Bunker Hill, and four cousins, two of whom were killed. The military records of New England and of the Continental Army furnish hundreds of names of Reads who served as regular soldiers, sailors, and militia men, many of them several times. They also were active in the old Indian and Colonial Wars. Their descendants are eligible to most of these patriotic societies, if only they can trace their pedigrees back. Reads in America in 1790. The First Federal Census, 1790, shows that (excepting New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, and part of Virginia, and the, then, Territories) there were in the whole land 1,201 families named Reed, Read, Reade, Reads, Rede, Reede, Reid, Reide, Rhead, Ried. They comprised 6,877 per- sons, an average of 5.7+ to the family. One family in every the num- 342 was a Read, and it was, and still is, one of more erous families in our land. They were located by states as follows: Maine 51, New Hampshire 57, Vermont 46, Massa- chusetts 304, Rhode Island 19, Connecticut 86, New York 88, Pennsylvania 253, Maryland 71. Virginia (part) 6o. North Carolina 105, South Carolina 56. There was one Reed in every 217 persons in Massachusetts, one every 440 in Connecticut and one in 421 in New Hampshire and one in 292 in Pennsyl- vania.

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt.

  • Philadelphia and the Southern Elite: Class, Kinship, and Culture in Antebellum America
    PHILADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN ELITE: CLASS, KINSHIP, AND CULTURE IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA BY DANIEL KILBRIDE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In seeing this dissertation to completion I have accumulated a host of debts and obligation it is now my privilege to acknowledge. In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

    SLATER V. BAKER AND STAPLETON (C.B. 1767): UNPUBLISHED MONOGRAPHS BY ROBERT D. MILLER ROBERT D. MILLER, J.D., M.S. HYG. HONORARY FELLOW MEDICAL HISTORY AND BIOETHICS DEPARTMENT SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON PRINTED BY AUTHOR MADISON, WISCONSIN 2019 © ROBERT DESLE MILLER 2019 BOUND BY GRIMM BOOK BINDERY, MONONA, WI AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION These unpublished monographs are being deposited in several libraries. They have their roots in my experience as a law student. I have been interested in the case of Slater v. Baker and Stapleton since I first learned of it in law school. I was privileged to be a member of the Yale School Class of 1974. I took an elective course with Dr. Jay Katz on the protection of human subjects and then served as a research assistant to Dr. Katz in the summers of 1973 and 1974. Dr. Katz’s course used his new book EXPERIMENTATION WITH HUMAN BEINGS (New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1972). On pages 526-527, there are excerpts from Slater v. Baker. I sought out and read Slater v. Baker. It seemed that there must be an interesting backstory to the case, but it was not accessible at that time. I then practiced health law for nearly forty years, representing hospitals and doctors, and writing six editions of a textbook on hospital law. I applied my interest in experimentation with human beings by serving on various Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) during that period. IRBs are federally required committees that review and approve experiments with humans at hospitals, universities and other institutions.

  • 1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936
    1 638 Homicides Occurring in Buffalo: 1902-1936 Current Chart: 5/28/2013 The following table includes all of the homicides reported by the Buffalo Police from 1902 to 1936. An exact transcription is replicated from the yearly Annual Report Board of Police. These reports were submitted after the year had ended which allowed the police to often include information generated after the arrest. In 1927, there were two additional categories, “officers shot by crooks” and “persons shot by police.” Two of the latter resulted in fatalities. These have been included in the table. Additional information, found from other sources, follows the information supplied by the police. That information is in italics. The homicides are listed in the following manner. Before the date, a number from 1 to 638 has been placed in bold type. The date listed is when the incident that caused the homicide occurred. In a small number of incidents the death occurred on a later date. If more than one homicide occurred during the same incident, each is counted. After some of the numbers, letters appear, capitalized in bold type. If there is nothing in bold after the number, then none of the conditions mentioned below occurred. The following abbreviations have been included: HS-Homicide Suicide: The perpetrator committed suicide after killing one or more people. AS-Attempted Suicide: The perpetrator attempted to commit suicide. LEO-Law Enforcement Officer related: Either an officer was murdered or one or more citizens was killed by the police. E-Executed: The convicted murderer was put to death for the listed murder.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

With Stetsons pushed low and bandanas pulled high, they sauntered around the wide bend in the dusty trail and surveyed the sleepy town. The sun, directly overhead, blazed down, and in the distant west, dark storm clouds skated ominously across the sky. The coming downpour would quickly wash away all tracks; pursuit would be impossible. The baleful eyes of the lead rider narrowed as he scanned the peaceful scene spread before him.
