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. -

CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew. -
Appendix a Detailed Historical Research in Support of the Battle of the Clouds Project
Appendix A Detailed Historical Research in Support of the Battle of the Clouds Project Detailed Historical Research in Support of the Battle of the Clouds Project Robert Selig, Thomas J. McGuire, and Wade Catts, 2013 American Battlefield Protection Program Grant GA-2255-12-005 Prepared for Chester County Planning. John Milner Associates, Inc., West Chester, PA Compiled August 17, 2013 This document contains a compilation of technical questions posed by the County of Chester as part of a project funded by the American Battlefield Protection Program in 2013 to research and document the Battle of the Clouds which took place September 16, 1777. Nineteen questions were developed in order to produce a technical report containing details of the battle such as order of battle, areas of engagement, avenues of approach and retreat, and encampment areas. Research was conducted by John Milner Associates of West Chester under the guidance of Wade Catts and his research team consisting of Dr. Robert Selig and Thomas J. McGuire. Due to the obscurity of the battle and the lack of detailed first-hand accounts, some of the questions could not be answered conclusively and are so noted. Following is a summary of the questions: Intro Q1 - Were the troop strengths in this battle the same as Brandywine? After Brandywine Q2 - Did George Washington make his headquarters at the Stenton House in Germantown during the Continental encampment on September 13? Q3 - Were any troops left to cover Levering’s Ford or Matson’s Ford after Washington crossed back to the west -
The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913
The Effect of Party Loyalty on the Election of U.S. Senators, 1871–1913 Wendy Schiller Brown University Charles Stewart III The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 28-31st, 2008.

The American parties, with the party organization now their dominant part, had reached their "golden age" by the beginning of the 1900s. Party organizations now existed in all the states and localities and flourished in the industrial cities. Party discipline was at a record high in Congress and most state legislatures. Parties ran campaigns for public office; they held rallies and torchlight parades, canvassed door-to-door, and brought voters to the polls. They controlled access to many government jobs ranging from street inspectors to members of the U.S. Senate.1 The post-Civil War period of American politics is widely regarded as a time when strong parties dominated American politics, not only at the national level, but at the state level, too. A key element of this party domination worked through the United States Senate, which was linked to the states through the mechanism of state legislatures electing U.S. -

Page 1 The Philadelphia Museum Company records (AO.002) Historical note Peale’s Museum founded by Charles Willson Peale in 1786, displayed natural history specimens and examples of portraiture. After his death in 1827 it was run by his son, Rubens. It closed in the 1850s. Scope and Contents note This collection consists of a bound volume of correspondence kept by Rubens Peale, manager of Peale's Museum, 1821, and two oversize clippings advertising events at Peale’s Museum, 1785 and 1804. The pages containing the Rubens Peale correspondence were apparently once part of the manuscript of the charter and by-laws of the Columbianum (q.v., as can be seen on the microfilm), and have now separated. Most of this collection has been microfilmed by the Archives of American Art. See the reel numbers listed below. Copies of the Charter and By-laws of the Philadelphia Museum Company (Peale's Museum), of 1828 and 1834, are found in the Lambdin pamphlet collection, volume 1.
