Ann Frances “Nancy” (Robbins) (Davis) Reagan (1921-2016) ANN FRANCES “NANCY” (ROBBINS) (DAVIS) REAGAN (1921-2016) Nancy Reagan was born in New York July 6,1921. She died in Bel Air, Los Angeles Co., California March 6, 2016. Her mother was Edith Prescott Luckett and her father was Kenneth Seymour Robbins, her mother’s first husband. May 27,1929 Edith married Loyal Edward Davis (1896-1982) in Chicago, Illinois and Loyal Davis adopted Nancy and she took the Davis name. Ronald Wilson Reagan was born February 6,1911 in Tampico, Whiteside Co., Illinois and died June 5, 2004 in Bel Air, Los Angeles Co., California. He married Nancy March 4,1952 Little Brown Church, San Fernando Valley, California. They had two children Patti Davis born October 21,1952 and Ron Reagan born May 20,1958. Nancy was part of the WHITLOCK35 family The Whitlocks ofVirginia #5. Her mother Edith P. Luckett was the ninth child of Charles Edward Luckett & Sarah Frances Whitlock (1844-1917) who were married October 11, 1868 Petersburg, Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of Edward F. Whitlock (1815?-1854) & Martha A. Wells (1826?-1879) who were married in Petersburg, Virginia by licence dated Dec.23,1839. Edward’s death record in 1854 shows his parents as John & Sarah Whitlock. The census records show that John died before 1830. The family lived in Dinwiddie Co., Virginia and Sarah age 45 shows on the 1850 census living with her son William, Edward’s brother. In 1860 Sarah is 65 and living with the Roberts family. Next door is Ann Berry who is also shown as a daughter of John and Sarah Whitlock. The 1795 birthdate shown in 1860 makes more sense than the 1805 one shown in 1850 and it is assumed the age of 45 for Sarah is an error. The Whitlock DNA project has shown that all the Virginia Whitlock families tested so far have shared YDNA with the original Virginia immigrant James Whitlock (1650?-1716). We expect John Whitlock will also likely be shown to descend from this family as well and therefore descended from the WHITLOCK02H family that traces back to John Whitloke who married Agnes delaBeche about 1454. Nancy Reagan was First Lady from 1980 to 1988. I am sure she would have been interested know she likely shares DNA with The Queen, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who is also a descendant of John and Agnes..

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

    President Ronald Reagan Meghan Wolf Born: February 6th, 1911 Died: June 5th, 2005 40th President of the United States. At 63 years of age, he become the oldest person elected for President • Pre-Presidency- Before entering politics, Reagan was a successful movie and television actor, head of the Screen Actors Guild, and was a spokesperson for General Electric He strongly opposed communism and socialism, and as president he sought fewer regulations, free-trade agreements, welfare cutbacks, and tax cuts. He married Jane Wyman in 1940, and they divorced in 1948. In 1952, he married Nancy Davis, with whom he remained for the rest of his life, fifty-two years. • Presidencial Crediatations and Accomplishments Reagan is credited with restoring America's power and prosperity after a period of stagflation in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the withdrawal from Vietnam. He rejected Détente and escalated the Cold War with the Soviet Union through a military build-up and a firm foreign policy of "peace through strength," but also negotiatied with Mikhail Gorbachev to shrink both countries' nuclear arsenals and peacefully end the Cold War, although some scholars cite December 26, 1991, as the peaceful end of the Cold War - three years after Reagan's presidency had ended. Reagan's persuasive quotable speaking style earned him the sobriquet "The Great Communicator," while his survival of numerous scandals and an assassination attempt earned him the nickname "The Teflon President." Notable appointments included Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.

  • Eph. 6:10-17 6/21/20 When I Was a Kid
    1 “Kitted Out” Eph. 6:10-17 6/21/20 When I was a kid going to Sunday School, some Bible stories and concepts resonated better with me than others. I remember hearing an awful lot about kindness, and sharing, and obedience, and love. I knew those things were important, but I related better to the stories that demonstrated courage and perseverance and strong character. Give me a giant and a kid with a sling, or one young man versus a whole den full of lions! This morning’s final message from Ephesians is about one of those passages. It talks about the Christian life as a battle between good and evil! I liked it then, and I still do today! Listen and see what I mean! 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.

  • Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W
    Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W. Barbi Summary I had the opportunity to visit the Reagan Ranch (Rancho del Cielo) on April 21st as a guest of Young America’s Foundation to see the preservation efforts of Ronald Reagan’s Santa Barbara White House where many of us worked in the 1980's. The Ranch was purchased from Ronald and Nancy Reagan in 1998 to provide the family financial resources to care for President Reagan’s health. Its new owner, Young America’s Foundation WWW.YAF.ORG, is a conservative youth centered political action organization. Background Quoting from author Brad Thor, “Young America’s Foundation is the largest youth outreach organization in the Conservative Movement and the only group that uses the power of the Reagan Ranch to shape future generations. The Foundation is the exclusive owner and operator of the Reagan Ranch, having worked with Ronald Reagan and the Reagan family since 1962 to advance freedom. Today, Young America’s Foundation hosts conferences and seminars at the Reagan Ranch to inspire young people and policy makers with President Reagan’s freedom philosophy of limited government, free enterprise, and a strong national defense.” The foundation hopes to make Rancho del Cielo the Mount Vernon and Monticello of the 20th Century. When the Ranch originally came on the market in the mid 1990's before Young America’s Foundation purchased it, there were unsuccessful efforts to have the Federal or California State Government buy it to preserve it as the real life home of a great US President. My April Visit When WHCA folks worked in Santa Barbara and at the Ranch, we learned a great deal about our humble President and no doubt have many fond memories of those days.

Bald eagles are a protected species and should never be harmed in any way, but you do occasionally hear stories about them being purposely injured in the wild.
