A. FOREWORD. The Committee appointed by the Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America to prepare for publication the Second Lineage Book of the Society offers to the members the result of its labors. The work has been accomplished under circumstances of unusual difficulty and the Committee realizes that it was spe- cially fortunate in that it could avail itself of the great and varied experience of the late and lamented Dr. Christopher Johnston, for so many years the Genealogist of the Maryland Society. The selection by Dr. Johnston (in conjunction with the Committee) of Mr. Louis H. Dielman to examine papers and edit this volume proved a very happy choice. He has given much time and great patience to the task and the Committee feels that through this combination a background is repre- sented for its work which would otherwise have been un- obtainable. This foreword would be incomplete without some mention of the late Wilson Miles Cary, Esq., whose thorough researches are shown in many of the Pedigree papers. Mrs. E. S. Beall, Mrs. J. J.

PREFACE. WHEN I found that the footsteps of my Nancy and her little Pepper turned, by the logic of loss, to the Mountain, I tried to describe some of the actual sur- roundings into which they went; but I learn to my sur- prise that this part of the book is treated as imaginary, and is called both unnatural and improbable. Indeed, one of my dearest critics asks me why I manufactured a witch and spoiled my story. Now, I did not manufacture her. The original witch was a real person, and the wild, strange tales of the spectres, the flashing flames, and the clashing of the swords and bayonets in the trenches of the dead are faithful shadows and echoes of what the people believed they saw and heard on South Mountain for long years after the battle in which ex-President Hayes made his fame, on that day wh$ii, tb,e, d^ad- lay in, .windrows, while the cannon ploughed the fields, 'and death reaped the red harvest.

First and foremost among these was the always insightful advice and enthusiastic support of this dissertation’s committee chair, Peter Onuf. When Peter and I first met I think we were both a little surprised we got along so well, and for me at least that relationship has become a fruitful collaboration. The committee’s other members—Mark Thomas, John James, and Kenneth Bowling—have been equally supportive and offered much helpful criticism and commentary. Although Ken was a relative latecomer to the project, his extensive knowledge of Washington, D.C., and his infectious enthusiasm for all things related to the city and for this project have been an invaluable resource.

    THE WARFIELDS -OF- MARYLAND. BY- PROFESSOR JOSHUA DORSEY WARFIELD. MEI\IBER OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF 1\1ARYLAND. BALTIMORE: THE DAILY RECORD COJ\1PANY. 1898. PREFACE. This review is the result of a patient search of all available records in our Archives, Land Office, Register of Wills, Record of Deeds, Parish and State Reports, not only in Annapolis, but also in the Peabody Library and Historical Society of Baltimore. To keep it within reasonable scope, I shall chiefly record Richard Warfield's direct line. From it interested descendants may easily trace their records. I leave it as my legacy to the genealogists of the future. Genealogy imposes the most tremendous responsibility that can be put upon mankind. If your race is a good one, it says: "Never dare to tarnish this lustre." If a bad one, it says: "From this hour, nay:- this instant, begin a reform. Do not dare to perpetuate this dishonor." And the genealogist is both, the prophet and physician. " I feel I an1 being led ·by a courtly and gracious kinsman, hack to the homes of my forefath~s, introduced into the charmed circle that gatherro. around the hearths, and there identified as one of them." \Vith the above sentiment as my guide, and the encouraging words of the gifted daughter of an eminent authoress, who can1e down through kindred ancestors, added to the n1any requests for a permanent form of ancestral records, I have determined to issue, in book form, inf.ormation, I trust, of interest to many families who are proud of those pioneers who braved every difficnlty that we, their posterity, n1ight live under a flag which now floats unchal­ lenged ·through all lands and upon all seas.

Occasionally, farm or ranch houses and barns stretch across this great track. If one's neighbor happens to be a Kan- san, and is asked as to the reason of the peculiar appearance of the curious, road-like section that goes on into the distance, he will say it is all that remains of the Chisholm, or perhaps the Old Shawnee, cattle trail that, early in the last half of the nineteenth century, formed the avenues over which poured millions of cattle from Texas on their way to Northern stockyards, and the markets of the Eastern and Middle States.

  • Flutists' Family Tree : in Search of the American Flute School / by Demetra
    FLUTISTS’ FAMILY TREE: IN SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN FLUTE SCHOOL DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Demetra Baferos Fair, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Adviser Approved by Professor Lois Rosow Professor Christopher Weait Adviser School of Music Copyright by Demetra Baferos Fair 2003 ABSTRACT For decades, American flutists have sought to identify specific traits that define their playing as a whole. While the “French School” has been characterized by a preoccupation with tone, a standard repertoire, and set of teaching materials written by Paris Conservatoire professors, no such definition can yet be set forth for the “American School.” This document provides a clear starting point for research into the what, where, why, and how of the “American Flute School” by first identifying who is associated with that school. By tracing the lineage of transverse flute playing from teacher to student through the past 300 years, we may identify orchestral flutist, soloist, and teacher, Georges Barrère, as a primary influence upon American flute playing. Barrère and his students – and his students’ students – have taught approximately 91% of all living flutists in the United States today. Of that vast number, approximately 87% can trace their heritage (through one or more of their teachers) to Barrère student William Kincaid, renowned flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and pedagogue at the Curtis Institute of Music. It is important to note that most modern musicians study with more than one teacher over the course of their career (usually between three and eight).
