  • David Duncan and His Descendants
    THE STORY OF THOMAS DUNCAN AND HIS SIX SONS BY KATHERINE DUNCAN SMITH (Mrs. J. Morgan Smith) NEW YORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT, INc. PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS 1928 FOREWORD ESEARCH in Duucan genealogy was begun in 1894 and has been R carried on industriously to this date through Court records, VVills, Deeds, Bible records and tombstone inscriptions which have furnished proof and have affixed the seal of authenticity to much of the recorded data. Interested kinspeople have contributed from their store of family traditions some of which have been found to agree with certain facts and may be considered true. Many letters have been received, principally from descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, extracts of which appear in this history and are mute evidence of the interest the writers feel in their lineage and their desire to worthily live and teach their chil­ dren to hold to the standard set by their ancestors. That there are errors in this publication there can be no doubt, but not of my making for: "I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me." (Sir Walter Scott.) The frequent appearance of my name and the very personal nature of this book is warranted, somewhat, by the fact that all along the thought has been it would be distributed, mainly, among the descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, between whose families there is very close relationship because of the intermar­ riage of many cousins. The stretch of years between 1894 and 1928 is a long one and it is not possible for me to estimate the time I have given to my self-imposed task, but if this book shall meet with favor and be prized by those into whose hands it may fall, the hours, days and weeks devoted to The Story of Thom,,as Dun­ can and His Si.r Sons will be remembered by me as pastime.

  • Descendants of Peter Riedesel (1839-1891)
    Compiled by Dr. Paul Riedesel, Minneapolis Descendants of Peter Riedesel (1839-1891) Generation 1 1. PETER1 RIEDESEL was born on May 05, 1839 in Leidenhofen. He died on January 25, 1891 in Thionville (Diedenhofen). He married (1) ANNA GERTRUD JACOB, daughter of Katharina Schmitt, on February 15, 1874 in Ebsdorf. She was born on July 30, 1852 in Untersimtshausen. She died on December 07, 1895 in Thionville (Diedenhofen). He married (2) KATHARINA WEIDENMÜLLER, daughter of Heinrich Weidenmüller and Margaretha Heuser, on November 23, 1862 in Ebsdorf. She was born on April 15, 1839 in Hachborn. She died on May 24, 1873 in Leidenhofen. Notes for Peter Riedesel: He was a native of Leidenhofen, but some time after the death of his first wife, he and his son moved to the area of Diedenhofen in what was then the German province of Lothringen. The latter had recently been wrested from France in the Franco-Prussian War, and would eventually be returned to France in the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. The town is now called Thionville and the province is Lorraine. It is reported that Peter sold his house (No. 23 1/2) to Georg Heuser in 1872 for 250 Taler. This could have been at the time he moved away (though following the birth of their youngest child). The three middle children with his second wife reported Paris as their place of birth, putting the family there from at least 1879-1883. In Germany, he was employed as a stone hewer. He would have worked at the quarry in nearby Dreihausen.

  • As Soon As Daniel Brewster Defeated George Wallace in the Mary- Land Presidential Primary, Attention on Capitol Hill Shifted Back to the Civil Rights Bill
    CHAPTER 12 “AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME” As soon as Daniel Brewster defeated George Wallace in the Mary- land presidential primary, attention on Capitol Hill shifted back to the civil rights bill. The negotiations over the final form of the bill continued between Senator Humphrey and Senator Dirksen. Meanwhile, the filibus- ter continued to drag along on the Senate floor. The southern Democrats were becoming fearful that Senator Dirksen really was going to support cloture and enable the Senate to produce a strong civil rights bill. As a result, the southern senators began filibustering late into the evening. The senators from Dixie also became more vehement in their condemnation of the Civil Rights Movement in general and the civil rights bill in particular. Early one evening in late spring, I was exercising my “privilege” to be on the Senate floor and was casually observing the action there. I decided to take a short break from the endless southern speech making and stepped out on the front portico of the Senate wing of the Capitol to get some fresh air. The weather was warm. It was quite pleasant to be outdoors. Standing amidst the marble pillars, I suddenly heard music playing. I glanced over at the center section of the Capitol building. There, on the front steps of the Capitol, with the Capitol dome rising behind them, sat a crowd of people listening to an outdoor band concert. The band was playing on the sidewalk just below the marble steps on 166 ON THE FORWARD EDGE TWO which the people were seated.
