Mobley ColIinsworth Winter 1970 -151 THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER Dear Members: Hllen you receive your issue of "Ansearchin'" News, it will be almost the end of the year. We feel that it' has been a good year with SOme changes, brought on by the growth of our Society. We have moved into our offLce at 2233 Madison Avenue, which will centralize our properties. Our Editor and Librarian can function more efficiently in this space, which being in a mid-town location is also convenient for our members. Further information will be given on meeting notices; . We have arranged with the Main Library, McLean and Peabody, for meetings in January, April, July and October, every third Monday, 7:30 p.m. (subject to change). We ar~ considering inviting a speaker for a one-day seminar instead of a night meeting. In any case, members will be notified. lie have had many compliments on our speakers and a day seminar gives time for the speaker to do justice to his subject. Last year, the Society bought a microfilm reader for the Editorial Staff's use. \.J'e expect delivery soon on another reader for our members I use in the office. We will order microfilmed court records of Tennessee which are available. At our new location, we need chairs and tables, so i.f you have either and feel generous, we are in a receptive mood. We are s~ddened by the death of Miss Bernice Cole, Research Director and Query Editor. Bernice was a person of sound judgement and reliability. She will be greatly missed. Due to our loss of Bernice, the queries are being edited by Mrs. Henry N. Moore, Associate Editor. Understandably, there is some delay, but Mrs. Moore will be ready for this issue. At this time, the office of Query Editor has not been filled. Mrs. Reeves Hughes, Jr. has been elected by the Board to fill Miss Cole's position of Research Director. We are indeed fortunate to have Mrs. Hughes accept. Betty is an excellent worker and thoroughly interested in genealogy, having Virginia and South Carolina ancestors of note. Betty was a Legal Secretary before her present career, mother of two sons and wife to Mr. Reeves Hughes, Jr., breeder of Registered Angus Cattle. Their home and farm is near Germantown, Tenn. We look forward to having her work with us. Mr. John Frederick Dorman was our guest speaker, October 17, on Virginia and Maryland. To have had Mr. Dorman as our final speaker of the year sets a precedent for us. We think he was impressed with our contributions to the Genealogical Section of Cossitt-Goodwyn Library. We found him a delightful personaIity. A reminder--we will have someone capable at our study meetings to assist those who wish to further their family lines from material gleaned from research. On arrival, please sign name list. Don't forget to have your data organized. It is next to impossible to grasp the facts otherwise. There is a very helpful article in THE GENEALOGICAL HELPER, Dec. 1963, March 1964, June 1964, Dec. 1964. This is a very detailed and comprehensive article. Would you believe that I copied every word? ~/ Sin;erely , ~~4~',-,'. ~<.C- Katherine M. oung ~ "Ansearchin'" News -152- NOTES FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Your editor is working with a heavy heart, this issue, due to the loss of not only a beloved friend, but also of a very talented Query Editor. Miss Bernice Cole, who passed away, suddenly, on October 17, 1970, has been a reliable source of comfort to your editor ever since she tackled this job for "Ansearchin'" News. No one will miss her more. ********* *** ***** NEWS AND NOTES ON OTHER PUBLICATIONS HISTORIC MAURY, Maury County, Tennessee Historical Society, Mrs. Wm. Shackelford, Editor, 210 First Ave., Mt.

    Notes on the Almanacs of Massachusetts

    1912.] Almmmcs of Massachusetts. 15 NOTES ON THE ALMANACS OF MASSACHUSETTS. BY CHARLES L. NICHOLS The origin of the almanac is wrapped in as much obscurity as that of the science of astronomy upon which its usefulness depends. It is possible, however, to trace some of the steps of its evolution and to note the uses to which it has been applied as that evolution has taken place. « When Fabius, the secretary of Appius Claudius, stole the fasti-sacri or Kalendares of the Roman priest- hood three hundred years before Christ, and exhibited the white tablets on the walls of the Forum, he not only struck a blow for reUgious freedom, but also gave to the people a long coveted source of information. Until that period no fast or holy-day had been pro- claimed except by the decision of the priests, since by their secret methods were made the calculations for those days. From that time the calendar of days has belonged to the people themselves, and has held an important position in the almanac of all nations. When Ptolemy in 150, A. D., prepared his catalogue of stars, and laid the foundation for more exact and con- tinuous records of their movements, the development of the Ephemeris, or daily note-book of the planets' places in our almanacs was assured. The meaning of the "man of signs," which is still so commonly seen, was minutely described by Manil- ius in his Astronomicon, written in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Origen and Jamblicus state that the principle underlying this belonged to a much earlier 16 American Aritiquarian Society.

Because few diaries by young girls have survived from eighteenth-century America, these juvenile, occasional 1My essay is based on a collection of seven annotated almanacs found in the Rare Books Department of Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, Ontario (LAC, Rare Books, AY201B7A44, Nathaniel Ames, An Astronomical DIARY: or an ALMANACK, for the Year of our Lord Christ .

ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FIRST EDITION. Amid the numerous performances of this sort which have lately appeared, many have expressed their regret that no account of St Andrews should have been offered to the public. The city ap- peared to them deserving of more notice—the seat of the most ancient of the Scottish Univer- sities—the ecclesiastical capital of the kingdom for nearly a thousand years—the scene of not a few of the material transactions of its history, and a place frequently visited by the tourist and the curious. A Publication such as the present, therefore, seemed evidently wanted, and it was this consideration solely which induced the Au- thor to undertake the task. How far he has been successful in the execution of it, is not for him to judge.

All the Worthingtoiis in America are believed to have descended from Nicholas, who came to New England in 1649, and from Capt. lohn, who is first known of in Maryland in 1675, and who died April 9, 1701, leaving several sons. Both, pi-obabh', descended from the Worthingtons of Lancashire, and such is the tradition of both families. In this genealogy will be found only those who are descended from Nicholas, and, as it is most probable that he belonged to the Shevington branch of the family of Worthington, of Worthing- " ton. County Lancashire, England, I have given the Herald's Visitations" of that branch down to 1650, at which time Nicholas was in New England. The origin of our name as given in the " Heraldic Journal, 1868," is Wearth-in-ton, from three Saxon words, meaning Farm-in-town. The old Hall at Worthington, where the family resided for seven hundred years, was recently pulled down. The Coat of Arms here given are those of the Worthingtons of Lancashire and Cheshire. While I have been exceedingly anxioiis to secure accuracy and completeness, many errors and omissions must necessarily occtir in a work of this kind. If all corrections and omissions, together with any additional records which may be in the possession of some hitherto uninterested member, or one who may not have received my "Genealogical Inquirj'," will be forwarded to the compiler, addressed to 775 Case avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, within the vear, it will be printed as an addition to the present records.
