Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130.

Advisor: Professor Joyce E. Chaplin John Michael Huffman Americans on Paper: Identity and Identification in the American Revolution Abstract The American Revolution brought with it a crisis of identification. The political divisions that fragmented American society did not distinguish adherents of the two sides in any outward way. Yet the new American governments had to identify their citizens; potential citizens themselves had to choose and prove their identities; and both sides of the war had to distinguish friend from foe. Subordinated groups who were notionally excluded from but deeply affected by the Revolutionary contest found in the same crisis new opportunity to seize control over their own identities.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Howard Schachman, dated April 26, 2007.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

Jrrftttt When nearing the completion of a work of this character the writer cannot help but refer to its inception. One hundred years ago a young New Englander by birth came to Philadelphia to earn his living and if possible make his fortune. He was eager, ambitious and patriotic. His father was dead, and also both grandfathers, but he knew how unselfishly they had served their country; one as a major in the Continental Line, and the other as the commander of a ten-gun privateer. His respect for his male progenitors and his love for his mother led him to carefully transcribe the genealogical lines of both families. These records made by John William Claghorn& have been handed to us, and with the assistance of Surgeon Charles E. Banks, Captain George Cleghorn Tancred, Charles Claghorn, and John W. Claghorn, 3d, and many others directly and indirectly connected with the family have completed this volume. Let us continue these records and pass to each succeeding gen­ eration with the same interest in their preservation and exten­ sion that has been shown in their compilation. 7 IDl}r C!!luglrnru 1Jtatttily.

  • Dr. J.P. London Obituary
    DR. J. PHILLIP LONDON OBITUARY JANUARY 22, 2021 His signature was “Always my best’—Jack.” It was both a promise and an expectation. His passions were his family, the Navy, and CACI International (NYSE:CACI), the company he led for almost fifty years and grew into a $5.7 billion information technology juggernaut with 23,000 employees in 155 offices worldwide. A luminary of the government contracting industry, Dr. J. Phillip “Jack” London, CACI’s Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board, passed away on January 18 at age 83. An Entrepreneurial Visionary, Dr. London is known as the founder of the modern-era CACI. Joining the company in 1972 as employee number 35, he rose through the ranks to become the President and Chief Executive Officer, positions he held for more than 20 years until he passed the reins to a successor in 2007. An avid trend reader, he was always one step ahead of the market, nimbly growing the company’s capabilities, service offerings, and footprint over decades of expansions and contractions in his market. Dr. London was an industry giant who drove all of CACI’s major strategic initiatives, including a highly successful mergers and acquisition program, which he initiated in 1992. He oversaw 79 company acquisitions. As he has said, “Building a company takes more than just good management and leadership skills. It requires a different kind of mindset; one that envisions, motivates, innovates, and supports the company and its employees along the way. Some people are good at making companies more efficient or profitable, but building is different.
