The National Genealogical Society Presents Volume 104, No. 4, December 2016 The National Genealogical Society presents ... FaFacesces of of America America On the Cover: DAVID MITCHELL JR. 1829–1910 David Mitchell Junior’s piercing blue eyes gaze fixedly into the future. His grizzled beard and receding hairline suggest he is at least in his fifties, dating the photo to about 1880. This hard-working Minnesotan started life in Troy, Maine, the posthumous son of David Mitchell, an early pioneer of Forest City, Minnesota. His widowed mother, the former Sally Thompson, with two little children and newborn David, remarried to Lewis Call of Troy. The new family moved to Bradley in Penobscot County, Maine, known for its plentiful lumber. Like his Mitchell uncles, teenager David spent several years in the coasting trade and the West India traffic. He then worked as a sawyer on the “noble” Penobscot River. In 1851 David married Belinda R. Anderson of Montville, Maine. In 2008 their descendants commissioned a gravestone at Forest City Cemetery in Forest City, Minnesota. Their story is engraved there: David and Belinda R. Mitchell, pregnant with George, traveled by ox cart with daughter Viola from Maine in 1856 to settle in Forest City, Minnesota. They were counted among the courageous families that endured the difficult first years of the settlement building and defending the Fort during the hostilities of the day. As farmers and educators they raised a family of eight children who migrated to other cities in Minnesota, Washington, and California. David and Belinda’s progeny include many generations of hardy descendants who will forever be proud of the legacy of their pioneering spirit. David’s other siblings also went west—Lavinia to Wisconsin and Thomas to Iowa. Belinda died in Minnesota in May of 1884. David spent his final years in Sacramento, California. This portrait of David was given to his sister, Lavinia Mitchell Worthing, and ultimately passed down to Lavinia’s descendant, Sally Mauerman Reisem, who gives permission for its use here. Credits: Documentation of David’s life is in the files of Carol Prescott ,McCoy PhD, owner of Find-Your-Roots.com in Brunswick, Maine. Her article in this issue, “Rediscovering David Mitchell (1800–1829) of Troy, Maine” tells the story of David Mitchell senior’s origins. The photo is from the Virginia Fenn Mauerman Collection, Magnolia, Wisconsin.

Throughout the semester we studied all of the past presidents and compiled a ranked list of these men based on our personal opinion of their greatness. My thesis is a similar study of their wives. The knowledge I have gained through researching presidential spouses has been very complementary to the information I learned previously in Mr. Markle's class and has expanded my understanding of one ofthe most important political positions in the United States. The opportunity to see what parallels developed between my ran kings of the preSidents and the women that stood behind them has led me to a deeper understanding ofthe traits and characteristics that are embodied by those viewed as great leaders. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my dad for helping me to participate in and understand the importance of history and education at a young age.

  • From Winterswijk to Wisconsin: Emigration from the Achterhoek to the United States in the Nineteenth Century
    From Winterswijk to Wisconsin: Emigration from the Achterhoek to the United States in the nineteenth century Introduction Winterswijk is a small village in the eastern part of the Netherlands, in the province of Gelderland. It is likely that nobody in Wisconsin would ever have heard about it, if not for a single historical phenomenon: in the nineteenth century, a significant part of the population emigrated to the United States and many of these emigrants ended up in Wisconsin. This article will explore the reasons why so many people left, how they traveled and where they ended up. Figure 1: Location of Winterswijk and the neighboring towns of Aalten, Bredevoort and Dinxperlo1 Agricultural history of Winterswijk To understand why the emigration wave hit exactly in the Winterswijk area, we have to understand some of its history. Winterswijk has long been a rural community. Some of the farms that exist today, appear in historical records as early as the 11th century.2 Until the French occupation in 1795, many inhabitants were serfs. They were bound to the land and worked the farms of the landlords. They also had to perform services for the lord, including de-icing the castle moat, letting the lord's pigs roam the forests for acorns, providing food and water for the lord's hunting party and cutting wood for the lord's kitchen. In return, they had the right to work the farm and the lord provided protection for them. They also had to submit to strict serf laws. In general, serfs were only expected to marry other serfs that belonged to the same estate.

  • Of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun
    Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Jun Hee Cho All rights reserved ABSTRACT Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho This dissertation examines the relations between court and commerce in Europe at the onset of the modern era. Focusing on one of the most powerful princely courts of the period, the court of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, which ruled over one of the most advanced economic regions in Europe, the greater Low Countries, it argues that the Burgundian court was, both in its institutional operations and its cultural aspirations, a commercial enterprise. Based primarily on fiscal accounts, corroborated with court correspondence, municipal records, official chronicles, and contemporary literary sources, this dissertation argues that the court was fully engaged in the commercial economy and furthermore that the culture of the court, in enacting the ideals of a largely imaginary feudal past, was also presenting the ideals of a commercial future. It uncovers courtiers who, despite their low rank yet because of their market expertise, were close to the duke and in charge of acquiring and maintaining the material goods that made possible the pageants and ceremonies so central to the self- representation of the Burgundian court. It exposes the wider network of court officials, urban merchants and artisans who, tied by marriage and business relationships, together produced and managed the ducal liveries, jewelries, tapestries and finances that realized the splendor of the court.

  • Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World
    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times.
