  • Descendants of John Hugh Wilson
    Descendants of John Hugh Wilson by Mary H. Ash Descendants of John Hugh Wilson Descendants of John Hugh Wilson Generation No. 1 1. JOHN HUGH1 WILSON was born 1689 in Londonderry, Ireland, and died July 09, 1773 in Letterkenny Twp, Cumberland, PA. Notes for JOHN HUGH WILSON: From "Scotch-Irish Pioneers in Ulster and America" Early settlers of Londonderry comprised many who remained but a short time and moved on to new plantations. In July and August, 1718, from five to seven hundred Protestant immigrants from Ireland entered the Port of Boston. Several followers of the Rev. Mr. McGregor set out early in autumn for Andover where they spent the winter. In 1719 there were seventy families at Nutfield, Mass. though not all of Scotch-Irish connection. Wilsons that were on this list included BENJAMIN WILLSON, ELIZABETH WILLSON, MARY WILLSON, THOMAS WILLSON, WILLIAM WILLSON, JAMES WILSON and ROBERT WILSON. The immigrants were given a 10 mile square tract of land for a town of their own. A list of proprietors of Londonderry in 1722 records about 100 Schotch-Irish land owners. Frank Shepherd in WILSON-BAIRD HISTORY states this John is John Hugh Wilson, and born about 1675 in Scotland. The following account is from OUR WILSONS, GASTONS, AND HUTTONS, Herman Wilson Craven, Washington D.C. 1926 The first Wilson of our family of whom we have positive information was one of the defenders of Londonderry, northern Ireland, in 1689. According to uncertain tradition as it came down to Martha Wilson, her sister Lucinda, and her brother Joseph, his name was John.

    HISTORY & RECORDS HISTORY OF OLE MISS FOOTBALL The University of Mississippi boasts a long and col- orful football history, which includes the formation of the first football team in the state, as well as one of the most successful programs in the history of collegiate football. In its 120-year history, the Ole Miss football pro- gram has claimed three national championships (1959, 1960 and 1962), six Southeastern Conference titles (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963), and one SEC Western Division title (2003). In addition, Ole Miss has produced 54 first-team All-America selections and 162 First Team All-SEC selections, appeared in 34 bowl games with 22 wins, and sent almost 300 players into the professional ranks. REBEL FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS The beginnings of the program can be traced all the way back to 1890 when Dr. A.L.

The 45 record "Last Kiss" released on Virgo 506 reached #80 in Cashbox and #90 in Billboard in 1973. The 45 record "Crazy Guitar" Jane 107, recorded in 1956, was distributed nationally by Jay-Gee Records in New York City in 1959 and in Europe on compilation Knoxville LP "Rock & Roll" Vol 2 in 1975, compilation White Label LP 8924 "Rock Moon Rock" in 1980 with "I've Decided" released on Cat CD 1035 "Calling All Rock N' Roll Collectors" Vol 3 in 1994.

  • I Hear a Symphony
    1 I Hear a Symphony BLACK MASCULINITY AND THE DISCO TURN You should see this whole Roxy Music thing. It’s so elegant and cool and -fashionable. —Nile Rodgers to Bernard Edwards, cofounders of -Chic isco snuck up on America like a covert operation. This wasn’t how it had been in the sixties, when shifts in popular music—the arrival of the mop-headed British Invasion bands, Bob Dylan’s galvanizing electric turn, the emergence of Dpsychedelic rock—were unmissable cultural events immediately accorded the status of milestones. The rock “ revolution” of the sixties, like the Vietnam War and the protests it provoked, was the object of intense media coverage. Newsweek, Life, Time, and all the rest pounced on the story with prairie-fire speed. In a blink, whole new publications, including that soon-to-be arbiter of countercultural taste, Rolling Stone, emerged to chronicle the music, personalities, and culture of rock. The major labels may have been bewildered by the scruffiness, long hair, and druggy vibe of groups such as Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Grateful Dead, but they barely paused before racing to sign them up, even when they were little known outside of San Francisco’s hippie enclave, Haight--Ashbury. Six years later, when another musical revolution was taking shape, record companies opened neither their arms nor their coffers, with the result that disco developed slowly and at first largely off the official map. By the time Vince Aletti wrote about what he called “party music” and “discotheque rock,” in a fall 1973 issue of Rolling Stone, gay men had been dancing in discos for three years.
