Bowersax, Founder fatter* ac{) ti BAUERSACHS COAT OF ARMS The name is a composit of two names: "Bauer" and "Sachs". This happened when one of the families would have become extinct because there was no male heir to carry on. The first record of Bauer is in the archives of Greifswald: "Johanus Bauer, 1354 A.D." The oldest record of Sachs, also spelled Sax and Sachs, is in the archives of Obereuringen: "Wecilo der Sachs, 1146 A.D.". A later entry records Dietricus Sachs in 1252 A.D. Reg.: "Das Grosse Deutsche Wappenbugh" (1st edition of 1605 A.D.) The shield is red charged with a wavy fesse, in chief blue charged with a gold eagle, wings displayed. Upon the knight's helmet the crest is a gold eagle in profile. Colors and emblems, in general, represent the characteristics of the original bearer and were granted only if he be worthy of their symbolisms. Colors: red represents the blood that ancestors have shed and is symbolic of courage, devotion and sacrifices. Silver represents the clarity of water and stands for sincerity and the love of peace. Gold, the most precious of all metals, is symbolic of maturity and of generosity and of "one whose interests are turned towards spiritual rather than material affairs". Emblems: The "fesse" is one of the ancient "nine honorable ordinaries" which were the first to denote a man encase in armour. It is the "military girdle of honor: and its granting was considered a "very high honor". The eagle symbolizes a man of action, occupied in high and weighty affairs; one of lofty spirits, ingenious and speedy in judicious matters of ambiguity. True magnitude is represented by the eagle which disdains the combat with smaller birds. -I- BIBLIOGRAPHY Wills of Snyder County, Pennsylvania, by Charles A. Fisher.

Bowersox, Founder of the Bauersachs Genealogical Society, who gave me the Bowersox name. Jan Erkert Bowersox -IV- PREFACE We have made an attempt to collect information on the Bauersachs Family over the past 14 years with the help of books already published, family members' data, family members' research, etc. We are most grateful to all of you for sharing all this truly exciting family information with us. In our first published work book on Bauersachs' genealogy, we listed all family members who had contributed data. At this point in time, the list has grown so large that we are hesitant in doing this again in fear of leaving out names of some contributors. Again, we have chosen to record the Bauersachs Genealogy in loose-leaf form, as we are aware that there is some missing data that we would like to add in years to come. This Bauersachs' genealogy begins with German History and basically follows Paulus Bauersachs' family thru 1988. We have begun with Hans Bauer born around 1500 although this data has not yet been linked to 1665 and Paulus' great grandfather Johann or Hans. We have considered Paulus' great grandfather Johann as the first generation and have given him the number of l' . Johann's son was given the number 2 ie. 2 ' Johannes (second generation - first child) His son Hans David Bauersachs is 3 * (third generation, second child). Paulus would be 4*" (fourth generation - second child). In other words, the first number denotes the generation; the second smaller number is the order of birth in that family generation. Abbreviations used are: b. - birth date d/o - daughter of s/o - son of m - marriage 2m - 2nd marriage d. - death date Res. - Residence C. - Cemetery ca. - around A line in front of a name just means that this person has contributed family data to this history. You will notice that the family name has been spelled in several different ways over the years. The original Bavarian spelling was BAUERSACHS. For many reasors generations which came after the arrival of Paulus to America, the spelling of the family name varied. (BAUERSACHS, BOWERSOX, BOWERSOCK, BCNERSAX, BONERS, BONERSON) The reader is advised to sinply accept the various spellings and not to become concerned with the different spelling among the family line. All of these individuals are related as shown even though the last name spellings did vary. -V- We have tried to be as accurate as possible in recording this genealogy data. We realize that there will be errors, both typewritten and mis-information. There will also be missing data. We would appreciate your advising us of error as well as any new material that you may have or that will be found. Just as changes have been made to earlier family tree documentation as a result of new research, we acknowledge that other changes and additions may come in the years ahead. Thanks again for all your help. and do take the time to enjoy your heritage. It is truly fascinating. Jan Erkert Bowersox April, 1988 For further "reading", an early Bauersachs history in Germany, a book (in German) compiled by Gerhardt Bauersachs is available. Also the Johan (Paulus grand­ father's brother) book compiled by Dottie Bowersox has just been printed. Another book, of the Lost Lines compiled by Carolyn Bowersox is also available. We have all worked very closely together thru the years, and it is our hope someday to eliminate the lost lines by being able to insert the branches into A the two main volumes. Any information that any of you can share with us will ' be appreciated. -VI- Introduction By Thomas L. Bowersox April, 1988 What can you say that has not already been heard hundreds of times about a family with a strange sounding name like BAUERSACHS, which is also spelled BOWERSOX, BAUERNSACHS, BOWERSOCK, BOWERSON, etc. When Jan and I started what we thought would be a short project of trying to find out more about our "roots" back in 1975, we had no idea that we were about to dis­ cover not only a wonderful family heritage that we have now traced back to 1450. but in the bargain have formed hundreds if not thousands of new friends who also feel as we do that there is great value in the study of ones family history. THROUGH the volunteer efforts and dedication of a countless number of family members we are so pleased to share this documented history of the BAUERSACHS FAMILY IN AMERICA. In 1988 we are pleased, after more than ten years and thousands of hours of research, to publish for you the records compiled by three of our greatest supporters: Jan Bowersox, Des Plaines, Illinois for her volume on the Paulus Line; Dottie Bowersox, Claymont, Delaware for her volume on the Johann Line; and Carolyn Bowersox, Fairmount City, Pennsylvania for her volume on the Lost Lines. These tireless workers have completed a task which often seemed endless. A family like the BAUERSACHS' never stands still. Our history, dating back more than 538 years (238 in America) makes it impossible to ever be FINISHED. There very simply is change occuring every day in our clan of well over 6000 living descendants. Not only do we see a constant change in our living families, but we are never satisfied that our past historical records are complete.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

    Donald Duck Has 225 Films to His Name

    Donald Duck Has 225 Films To His Name National Donald Duck Day is observed annually on June 9th. This day commemorates the birthday of the funny animal cartoon character, Donald Duck. Donald made his first screen debut on June 9, 1934, in The Wise Little Hen. Donald Duck usually wears a sailor suit with a cap and a black or red bow tie and is most famous for his semi-intelligible speech along with his mischievous and irritable personality Donald Duck has appeared in more films than any other Disney character. Donald has 225 films to his name, according to IMDb. Donald was also declared in 2002 by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all times. It was in Donald’s second appearance in Orphan’s Benefit that he was introduced to his comic friend, Mickey Mouse. Donald’s girlfriend, Daisy Duck, along with his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, were introduced shortly after that. In addition to animation, Donald is also known for his appearance in comic books and newspaper comic strips. One of Donald Duck’s famous sayings is “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.” The renowned early illustrators of Donald Duck were Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Donald Duck first appeared as a drawing in a May 1934 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine promoting the film The Wise Little Hen. The magazine is sought after by collectors. Donald has gone on to star in seven feature films — which is more than any of his Disney counterparts. He is six years younger than Mickey Mouse.
