The main f ~mily tree is found in Chart I and that tree for recent generations only is complete in all_ its branches. Notes as to the probablt__ancestry of \Villiam \,\iood of Earlsferry will be found on pp. 51-5j. Charts II to VI contain trees ,vhich are supplementary to the \Vood tree, and in some cases those charts are follo,ved by lists ,vhich further supplement the \Vood tree by furnishing a com­ plete statement of the descendants of certain colla~~~l ancestors._ These lists follo,v the charts to ,vhich they ·respectively refer, and they contain in full the descendants to the end of 1909 of the following individuals : List I. John Kane (1759-1819) and his ,vife Maria Cochvise (b. 1775). List II. Samuel Redmond ( d. 1825) and. his wife Anne Ramage (d. 1848). List III. Goold Hoyt {1j6g-1841) and his wife Sabina Sheaff. List IV. James '\Vilmer ( 1775-1831) and his wife Ann Emerson. List V. Jacques Benoit Felix de Chazoumes (Ii95- 1868) and his ,vife ?viarie Louise de Brugiere (18o4-1864). In preparing the charts among the authorities ,consulted were the "East N euk of Fife" by Rev. \V'alter \Vood, second edition published in 1887; "Biographical Dictionary of Eminent 1Ien of Fife" by M. F. Conolly, published 1866; "Autobiography of William \Vood," printed for private circulation 1895 ; "Hoyt, Haight and Hight Families" by Pavid '\V. H~yt, pri~ted 1871; "Historic Families of· America" by \Valter \V. Spooner, printed 1907; "Old Kent; the Eastern Shore of Maryland" by George A. Hanson, printed 18j6; ''.A.merican Genealogy" by Jerome B. Holgate, published 1848; "Distinguished Families in America descended from '\Vilhelmus Beekman and Jan Thomasse. Van Dyke" by \Villiam B. Aitken, published 1912, "Notice Gen- 8 THE ivooD FA~IILY ealogique sur les f am ill es du F evre et Ar~is de Chazoumes en Forez et Lyonnais" by A. Steye~, besides public documents in the New York Public Library, the British Museum, in Edin­ burgh and many private documents and letters _in the possession of members of the family. The lists of collateral descendants ,vere prepared partly from the authorities above mentioned, but largely from data obtained from various members of the family as the result of an active correspondence involving the writing of many hundreds ·of letters. The great importance of accuracy in such work wa_s cons_tantly kept .in vie,v, and every effort was made to avoid errors. It may be~ ho,vever, that mistakes ,vill ·be found, due either to the writer himself or· to inaccuracies in the sources upon ,vhich he was forced ·to depend, although ,vherever practicable he· has obtained a statement of the same facts from t,vo or more sources. __ No individuals appear, in either charts or lists, ,vho were born after the end of 1909, that being the end of the period covered. For the purpose of identification of individuals of similar name, and for other reasons, the years of birth have been given as far as the writer has been ab.le to obtain them, but a complete state­ ment of the dates of deaths has· not been attempted, only those ,. dates of deaths being included which were obtained f ram sources readily available. In cc;>nsulting the lists it will be observed that each individual bas a number in the column at the left of the name. This number ,vill be found again in brackets at the right of each of his or her descendants, thus making it· easy to follow any single line_ direct from parent to child. Thus, for example, on page I I in the First Generation ,vill be found the name "2 Oliver Gren­ ville Kane." In the Second Generation appear the· names ''16 John Grenville Kane (2)" and "17 Pierre Came Kane (2)." ·The individual numbers of John Grenville Kane and Pierre Came Kane are 16 __and 17, respectively, whi.le the number (2)­ to the right of each shows they are the children of Oliver Grenville Kane, his individual number being 2. Gathered merely for the. information of his children, it was not the writer's intention to p~blish this material, but. he has been asked by so many members of the family for copies of the facts obtained that he decided to seek the assistance of the printer. -JA~ES \\"oc.o (a) CH.-\RT I 1 r781-18c6 l died unmarried ,-bv. ,,. .,,_!.YJ:2 '\Vc-oD j lf:A:i1.\" ',\",::;;:, :=) ' J:81.;:-:~8:: ,._ _ u, ,~--------· ,., ,.,,, ,, , m.

  • New York's Oldest Public Libraries
    New Y��������������ublic Libraries 145 Harold Augenbraum NEW YORK'S OLDEST PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, before the proliferation of tax-supported libraries in the United States, the subscription library filled the reading needs of many people in the country. Now little known outside a small group of library historians and current members of these institutions, many subscrip- tion libraries flourished in the 1800s, but by the twentieth century most had disappeared, victims of lack of funds, lack of interest, or mismanagement. Called membership libraries today, only sixteen subscription libraries are left in the United States. They continue to provide services and care for historic collections, filling a need in various cultural and social strata in several American cities. Some, such as the tiny Salem Athenaeum, survive despite tiny budgets and constituencies; others, such as the Boston Athenaeum and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, have impressive and important collections. Their constituencies range from the low hundreds to as many as 7,000 members. New York City is home to three such libraries, all of which are located within a mile and a half of each other: the Library of the General Society of Mechan- ics and Tradesmen and the Mercantile Library of New York, both in midtown Manhattan; and the New York Society Library, on the Gold Coast of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The three were established by and for different social groups whose social and economic status experienced myriad changes in the nineteenth century. Their histories and current situations illustrate the principal streams of subscription library development in America.

The album contains nearly 200 original photographs (numbered sequentially at the top), most of which were autographed by their subjects.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • Over the Years the Fife Family History Society Journal Has Reviewed Many Published Fife Family Histories
    PUBLISHED FAMILY HISTORIES [Over the years The Fife Family History Society Journal has reviewed many published Fife family histories. We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
