PREF.A.CE. ,\ HUl'T fin, yeal'l' have now cbpsed i-iuce we, first couceive,l the project of tmdng the gcm•alogy of tlw Jarvi,- Family in this country. Lc•tten; were written tn prominent men of the name in different parts of tht· l;nited State:< and British America, from many of whom favorable rcsponi:cs wen• r<ie<•iv, .. l. Severa! in Canada, Nova S<·otia, aml );',,w Bnmswick were highly intere:;ted, ofTning their valunhlc coll,•ction,-. to :Lid tht• entl'rprisc. Many, al"o, in the United· States were cqunl·ly intl're:,;tcd. nml oJicn.-<l their eull,-ction:,; an,i any aid within their powt•r. The addres..-<es of ,Iiffercnt members of famili,.,. were sought out and solicited, u.nd hundreds of letter.; written for :my records, ,:kl'tehcs, steel and lithograph engravings, or any items of history c~mnccted with the n:mw, worthy of being transmitted to posterity. :Many responded promptly; some, by indifference, delayed the work; while others ncgll'Ctcd lLltogcthl'r to notice our applications. Fro111 these causes there will be found ,;ome frugmcnt:iry u.nd skeleton f<'Cords, which must cause r,•1,.'Tet to those whose remissness has made it impossible for tlw Compilers to give more perfect account of their families. We hu.,·e adopted a tabular forru of exhibiting the records, believing that it l~ more ea.sily understootl than the plan will 0 usually followed in works of the kind. \Ve ha,·e, also, aimed to prl',;ent, not only the• dates of hirths, but alsu, when they could be procured, the marriages and <lcaths, something which is often neglectc<l in genealogies. )!any of our friends who have favored llti with sketches, ha,·e granted us the privilege of revising them. \Ye han· assumd this prerogatfre in regar<l to all, but lmve ,·ndeavored not to change the meaning, or leave out any import­ ant item. F~r tl1is act we u.sk the indulgence of our friends. 1n a work like this, receiving records from various sources, many of them written in an obscure hand, the chirography not plain, am! ""metimt:>s almost illegible, and figurt•,- and dates being very numerou". it wonld not l,e str:mgc if. with all our vi1,-ilancc, some errors crept. in. It would i,eem nlmost a miraclr if they did not. · The different ;ipellin~ too, of some nmnes has given us much trouble, but we have taken the utmost ca.re to get 1.he proper !'!'I'll• ing, and make the work in that respect as corn.>et 11-" possible. In the Appendb: will he found many interesting historical and other document.... in connection with the name, and cspecfo.lly in relation to those Ull'mbers of thn J?amily who lin•,1 during the period of the Revolution. The lists of births, marriage!<, and deaths, it has been deem<-><l import.not to preserve 11-" aid,; to those families whose records are imperfect, and as helps to subsequent researches. All genealogies that we have met with have lx-en more or Jess fragmentary in their beginning. Ours is peculiarly so. We l1ave . found many import.an•. branch~, hut have been unable to trace them to one root, hence we haw been obliged to t."'ke tl1e evidences of tho desccndant.s of each branch for the origin ci! their forefathers, and leave it to some more successful aspirant to finiah what we have been unable to accomplish. Our book commences \\;th n. chart entitled the "Genealo:zy of Gothic Nations," taken from a work called "The Norman Peo­ ple;" not that we claim that the ,Jnn,s Family dates back to the period from which this chart traces the origir of the;<.~ nations, but insert it as a. document which may be of interest and informa­ tion to our readers. At the end of our volume will be found a Family Register for the records of births, marriages, deaths, or any fact.~ or incident.... that may be worthy of note. This, if made use of, ,,;n be a convenience to every family, and a great rlc.•ridP-ralum in case another genealogy should be determined on hereafter. In collecting the materials for this genealogy from so wide a field oi inquiry, much labor and expen..~ has b ... en incurred, and, as we have already said, some errors will undoubtedly be found, for which the indulgent consideration of those for whom it has 1: een prepared is respectfully solicited. In conclusion, the hearty thanks of the Authors are most grate­ fully given tc the many friends and relath-<-'S who have ten<ll•red their ,·aluable contributions and sen-ices in aid of this enterprise, without which its progress would hM·e been greatly retarded, if not wholly abandoned.

  • Self Guided Tour
    The Toronto Ghosts & Hauntings Research Society Present s… About This Document: Since early October of 1997, The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society has been collecting Toronto’s ghostly legends and lore for our website and sharing the information with anyone with an interest in things that go bump in the night… or day… or any time, really. If it’s ghostly in nature, we try to stay on top of it. One of the more popular things for a person with a passion for all things spooky is to do a “ghost tour”… which is something that our group has never really offered and never planned to do… but it is something we get countless requests about especially during the Hallowe’en season. Although we appreciate and understand the value of a good guided ghost tour for both the theatrical qualities and for a fun story telling time and as such, we are happy to send people in Toronto to Richard Fiennes-Clinton at Muddy York Walking Tours (who offers the more theatrical tours focusing on ghosts and history, see Image Above Courtesy of Toronto Tourism www.muddyyorktours.com) We do also understand that at Hallowe’en, these types of tours can Self Guided Walking Tour of fill up quickly and leave people in the lurch. Also, there are people that cannot make time for these tours because of scheduling or other commitments. Another element to consider is that we know there are Downtown Toronto people out there who appreciate a more “DIY” (do it yourself) flavour for things… so we have developed this booklet… This is a “DIY” ghost tour… self guided… from Union Station to Bloor Street….

  • Memoir of Bishop White by James Taylor
    Memoir of Bishop White by James Taylor HE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA was recently given a small leather-bound volume bearing the inscription T"To be given to Richard Thomas as verbally promised by me James Taylor." Examination of the book revealed it to be of more than usual interest, containing as it does "Notices & Anecdotes" re- specting a variety of subjects as recorded by an astute and curious observer who had had the advantage of personal acquaintance with most of the subjects of his notices. These include brief memoirs of both Scots and American personalities, many of whom were ecclesi- astics, but of a variety of denominations. Among members of the clergy mentioned are the Rev. Benjamin Allen, the Rev. Dr. Stephen B. Balch, the Rev. Dr. Hugh Blair, and the Rev. Colin Campbell. Anecdotes concerning secular persons relate to Samuel Chase, Benjamin Chew, Thomas McKean, and the redoubtable Dr. Samuel Johnson. While often of penetrating insight, frequently of a humor- ous turn, and occasionally mordant, it is obvious that not all the ob- servations could have been original with Taylor, and it is perhaps not impertinent to suppose that some of the notices were collected as sermon material, as well as for their overt entertainment value. From some abstracts at the First Unitarian Church, Philadelphia, made from a now unlocated autobiographical sketch by James Taylor, and from Dr. Elizabeth M. Geffen's Philadelphia Unitarian- ism (Philadelphia, 1961), the salient facts of Taylor's life may be obtained. Born in 1767 in Perth, Scotland, Taylor was put to learning the weaving trade in 1782.

  • The Queen's Rangers the Queen's Rangers
    The Queen's Rangers The Queen's Rangers This pamphlet is issued in connection with the presentation of the colours of the Queen's Rangers to the Public Library of Toronto, by Mr. Frederick B. Robins of that city. PREFACE When the Queen's Rangers were disbanded at the close of the War of the American Revolution, the colours of the regiment, in accordance with the custom of that time, were deposited with the Colonel, John Graves Simcoe. When he retired to his estate at Wolford near Honiton in Devonshire, he hung the colours in the Great Hall and there they remained until a few months ago, when through the interest, liberality and public spirit of Mr. Frederick B. Robins of Toronto, their removal to Canada and to Toronto was made possible. This was the suitable place for the colours which Simcoe prized so highly. He was the first Governor of Upper Canada and we might call him the founder of Toronto. The Public Reference Library has a collection of prints and documents illustrating his life and his conduct of public affairs in Canada and so the colours have found a real home. That our people may know who the Queen's Rangers were and lest there be some who might confuse the Queen's Rangers of the Simcoe administration in Canada with the Queen's Rangers of the Revolution, or lest still further confusion might arise from the fact that there was a regiment of Queen's Rangers in the Rebellion of 1837, we are reprinting the address on the Queen's Rangers given at the meeting of the Ontario Historical Association at Kingston in June.
