Scott-Hamblen made a similar plea in January 2013, saying the 1.5-acre lawn might soon be on the market because of a lack of money for maintenance. “The church is steadily going broke,” he said at the time.

Our Vault Committee has worked diligently, with la Société de restauration du patrimoine Johnson, for many years toward the time when reconstruction could begin. Last fall with an agreement on the ownership of the land, the parcel set aside for vault was delineated and we had it surveyed. This spring the Vault Committee and la Société de restauration du patrimoine Johnson prepared a detailed, joint proposal describing the vault, a timetable for rebuilding and preliminary cost estimates http://www.uelac.org/SirJohnJohnson/vault/2011/03/ . This was presented at the March 5th Dominion Council with a proposal that it be made a UELAC centennial project.

    €x iLibrig JOHN CHANCELLOR BOYLEN FROM THE TRANSACTIOXS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES— 1908-1909 V^OLUME II SECTION Ij HISTORY OF THE QUEEN'S RANGERS By JAMES HANNAY, D.C.I.. OTTAWA PRINTED FOR '^HE ROYAL SOOIETY OB' CANADA, 1909 — Section II., 1908. [123] Trans. R. S. C. IV. History of the Queen's Rangers. By James Hannay, D.C.L. (Read May 26, 1908.) I. Of the forty or more battalions of Loyalists which enlisted in the service of the Crown during the Eevolutionary war, none has been so widely celebrated as the Queen's Eangers. This, no doubt, is partly due to the fact that they found a historian in Lieut.-Col. Simcoe, their com- manding officer, who wrote a book to chronicle their achievements; yet after making all allowance for this advantage, it must be admitted, with- out detriment to the other Loyalist corps, that the Queen's Eangers ex- ceeded them all in length and variety of service. What the famous Light Division was in Wellington's Peninsular Campaigns. the Queen's Eangers became to the British army in America ; whenever there was an enterprise that demanded celerity and daring, the Queen's Eangers were selected for the service, if they happened to be at all near the place where it was to be performed. Their six years of active service in the war made them veterans, and their peculiar organization enabled them to ac- complish feats which would have been quite beyond the power of an ordinary battalion of the line.

  • 2015-06 Putnam County, NY
    The Society for the Preservation of Hudson Valley Vernacular Architecture. Historic Garrison, Putnam County June 20, 2015 Mandeville House From Wikipedia.com The Mandeville House is located on Lower Station Road in Garrison, New York, United States, just west of its intersection with NY 9D and 403. It is the oldest extant house in that community, dating to 1735 according to its National Register of Historic Places nomination report. The house is situated on a wooded lot of almost 5 acres (2.0 ha), just across from the similarly pre-Revolutionary buildings and structures of the Garrison Grist Mill Historic District on Highlands Golf Club (which we will be visiting those structures later in the tour). It is an eight- bay, one-story structure with three shed-roofed dormer windows on and two chimneys piercing its gabled, shingled roof. Its main facade has six bays with the main entrance in the third from the east. It is surrounded with a shed hood, fluted pilasters and a stoop with two Dutch-style benches. There are several wings, including a cross-gabled rear and a garage connected to the main house by breezeway. The interior has some original paneling and trim, particular around the fireplaces in the main block. Most of the other trim is from the Colonial Revival restoration in the 1920s. In 1697 William III granted the property that included the future Mandeville House to Adolphe Philipse, whose family owned much of today's Putnam County. He is the first European owner of record. Thirty-eight years later, in 1735, Jacob Mandeville, leased 400 acres (160 ha) in the area of present-day Garrison, married and likely built the first part of the house.

  • Morris, Rev. Francis Orpen
    natstand: last updated 09/05/2020 URL: www.natstand.org/pdf/MorrisFO000.pdf Root person: Morris, Rev Francis Orpen (1810 – 1893) Description: Family document Creation date: 2020 May 9 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: With an appendix concerning the Sanders of Bromsgrove Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated. Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g.

Brown wash over pencil, with water colour & gouache by Owen Staples? ca 1915. Laid down on cardboard. JRR 2213 Cab II, John Ross Robertson Collection, Baldwin Room, Toronto Reference Library Public domain 1 Preface Over the past few years, universities in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and beyond have undertaken studies exploring the connections between slavery and the history of their institutions. In February 2018, the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, initiated its own investigations to bring to light ways in which slavery and the profits derived from trade in the products of enslaved labour contributed to the creation and early operation of King’s, Canada’s oldest chartered university. David W. States, a historian of African Nova Scotia with a multi-generational personal heritage in this province, and Karolyn Smardz Frost, an archaeologist, historian and author whose studies focus on African Canadian and African American transnationalism, were chosen to become part of a small cadre of scholars charged with the task of bringing different aspects of this long-hidden history to light.
