The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume. The Colonial Churches and the Colonial Clergy in the Middle and Southern Colonies (Lancaster, 1938), which is still available from the author. The biographical data on the clergy of the Middle Colonies here printed is also available in monograph form from the American Antiquarian Society. C. K.

  • Mary Neill Whitelaw (1840-1925) Biography
    THE LIFE OF MARY NEILL WHITELAW 1840-1925 A DOCUMENTARY BIOGRAPHY WITH AN APPENDIX OF NEILL FAMILY DOCUMENTS By Susan Love Whitelaw 2004 With Grateful Acknowledgement of Contributions by: Margaret Ruth Fluharty Dot Shaw Harrison Anne Smith Kepner Bill Whitford Mary Elizabeth Williams Enerson Jean Young And Special Thanks to: Sue Cashatt, current owner of the old Whitelaw home in Kidder, MO 1 PREFACE This document is in two parts: 1. A “documentary biography” of my great grandmother, Mary Neill Whitelaw (1840- 1925), a nineteenth century Scottish immigrant who lived and raised a family in Kidder, a small town in northwest Missouri. 2. An extensive Appendix containing letters, newspaper articles, and other material relating to Mary Neill Whitelaw’s family of origin and to her origins in Scotland. The main purpose of the documentary biography is to pull together all available material on Mary Neill Whitelaw in a chronological format. I have stuck closely to the documents available and have not tried to embellish or speculate on aspects of Mary Neill Whitelaw’s life about which the written record is silent. Thus, the coverage of her life is uneven, depending as it does on the sources available. There is much more material concerning her later years (1900-1925), when her children were adults and writing letters, than about her earlier ones The material for the documentary biography comes mainly from the estate of her granddaughter, Mary Elizabeth Williams Enerson, who died in 2002, leaving a large archive of family letters and memorabilia. Much of this material she inherited from her mother, Ruth Whitelaw Williams (1872-1950), Mary Neill Whitelaw’s daughter.
