VA12,13. Notes for JOHN POWELL: [3sisterspowells.FTW] directly Northeast of Spotsylvania County lies Stafford Cou nty, Virginia. In William F. Boogher's book, Overwharton P arish Register, published in 1899, many of the counties' bi rths, deaths, and marriages from 1720 to 1760 are recorded. The Register first mentions Charles and Elizabeth Powe l September 20, 1731, when their son, John, was born. In 1 733, a son Peter was recorded; followed by Elizabeth in 173 5 and Martha in 1736. But most important to us, on May 26 , 1740, Charles Powel came into this world. Peggy Powel wa s born April 8, 1744. Before Peggy was a month old, Apri l 30, 1744, her father Charles Powel died. The following y ear on December 3, Elizabeth Powel married Duke Whalbone . Duke and Elizabeth had a son, Thomas, in 1746 and a dau ghter, Nanny, in 1749. The Powel family remained in Overwharton Parish for ov er 25 years. Elizabeth Whalbone's son John Powel married Ma rgaret McDaniel, February 10, 1752. Soon he and Margaret h ad daughter Jemina, followed by Patty in late 1755. Marth a Powel married John Goldsmith January 19, 1756. John Powel was on the Quit Rent Roll for Staf ford Cou nty for the last time in 1764. This is about the time Sara h Powel said Charles rode into her life with "only a hors e and his wearing apparell." Between 1764 and 1777, John m oved to Caswell County, North Carolina. The Powel family in Stafford County spelled their nam e with one L as our own family did until after the Civil Wa r.

Edy A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

The first day I devoted to bidding a sad, though silent farewell to my people; for The first day I devoted to bidding a sad, though silent farewell to my people; for I did not even dare to tell my father or mother that I was going, lest for joy they should tell some one else. Early next morning, I left them playing their “fan- dango” play. I wept as I looked at them enjoying their innocent play, and thought it was the last time I should ever see them, for I was determined never to return alive. To run by day or by night? To flee on a road or in the woods? To rely upon sub- terfuge or unadulterated boldness? These were life-or-death decisions for a fugitive slave.

  • [Review Of] C. Peter Ripley, Ed. the Black Abolitionist Papers, Vol. 1
    C. Peter Ripley, ed. The Black Abolitionist Papers. Vol. I: The British Isles, 1880-1865. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1985) xxx, 609 pp., $40.00. From 1830 until 1865, hundreds of American, Canadian, and West Indian blacks went to the British Isles and became active in the antislavery movement, which in 1833 reached a peak there with abolition of slavery in the Empire but was only beginning to gain momentum in the United States. They represented the full spectrum of free or fugitive Western Hemisphere blacks: some were well-known antislavery speakers and writers such as Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany; others were originally unknowns such as John Andrew Jackson, who spoke in "the peculiar broken dialect of the negro," and John Brown, whose language was "of the rudest but most impressive character." A few, as for example William Nixon, resorted to fraudand were imprisoned, or, like Alexander Duval, were reduced to begging in the streets of London. Several were women, most notably Ellen Craft and Sarah Remond. Speaking in public, publishing books and pamphlets and writing for newspapers, and collecting money and goods for causes as varied as founding settlements in Canada, supporting black schools and news­ papers, and buying the freedom of relatives, these energetic and in­ genious people come to be known collectively as the Black Abolitionists. From diverse backgrounds and with no central organization, they nevertheless successfully pursued the common goal of persuading "the British public to place its moral [and financial] support behind the crusade to end American slavery." The story of these courageous people is now generally available in the first volume of a projected five-volume documentary series on the black abolitionists in Britain, Canada, and the United States.

The original plans were drawn by Colonel Joseph Totten. A violent hurricane in 1846 destroyed most of the fort’s temporary work buildings and supplies, but construction was quickly resumed. Crafts- men for the brick work were imported from Germany and Ireland. Laborers were local slaves whose owners were paid $1.00 a day for their services. This is a view of the fort as drawn by a member of the garrison. It ap- peared in Harpers Weekly, March 2, 1861. Between 1898 and 1905, deciding that the fortress would be less vulnerable if not so tall, the structure was deliberately torn down to one story.

The narrator notes that Ross lives in "a nice little white house, on the right hand side of King street as you go in from the country towards the market." The right-hand side? Was that level of precision necessary? Because people challenged the veracity of slave narratives at the time they were published, details mattered very much. But the level of specificity in this instance caught my eye. The facts were borne out: property records in the Charleston County Register Mesne Conveyance Deeds office show that in 1831, a James L. Ross, known also as "Major Ross," purchased a house situated on the west side of King Street, just a few blocks north of the market. If you were entering the city of Charleston from the country, Ross' house would indeed have been on the right-hand side (fig 1).

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.

JL 222/064 THE MONTGOMERYSHIRE PEDIGREES, THE "VISITATIONS OF WALES", by LEWIS DWNN. The project, commenced in 1884, for printing these pedigrees for the use of the Members of the Powys-land Club is now carried out. The high authority of Lewis Dwnn's Visitations, and the extreme rarity and costliness of the work in which they were first printed by the Welsh Manuscript Society in 1846, rendered it desirable that the Montgomeryshire portion of such Visitations should be placed in the hands of the Members. This has been done, with- out extra cost, as part of the publications of the Club. One hundred extra copies have been printed before the type was distributed, which are intended to be offered to Members of the Club in the first instance. Any not taken by them will be offered for sale to the public. INTRODUCTION. To aid the memory in cherishing and perpetuating the record of what is honourable and of good report in families, has been pro- nounced "the science of fools with long memories." If wisdom were always associated with a short or tarnished one, we might accept such a dictum; but, as this is not so, we may safely refer else- where for a more truthful definition of so well-abused and mis- represented a study as genealogy.

    ABSTRACT HIRN, LINCOLN MICHAEL. “Such Outrageous Crimes to Human Beings”: Portrayals of the Domestic Slave Trade in Nineteenth-Century Slave Narratives. (Under the direction of Dr. Craig Friend). This thesis argues that the narrators of nineteenth century slave narratives used their knowledge of America’s economy of enslavement to condemn the cruelty of White enslavers, showcase the morality of enslaved people, and depict the triumphant liberation of enslaved people. The first chapter contends that formerly enslaved authors used existing patterns of resistance, borne of a deep knowledge of the domestic slave trade, as the basis for a literary resistance that relied on economic expertise to prove the importance of the slave trade to white Southern life. The second chapter argues that slave narratives used the slave trade as a link by which they connected white immorality and cruelty to Black morality and fidelity. Finally, the third chapter examines depictions of Black reunification and liberation and finds that Black authors subverted the language of the slave trade in order to create an oppositional vocabulary of redemption. Taken together, the chapters support the central argument: that enslaved resistors were experts in the systems of their own oppression, and they used that knowledge to create resistant spaces wherever possible. © Copyright 2021 by Lincoln Hirn All Rights Reserved “Such Outrageous Crimes to Human Beings”: Portrayals of the Domestic Slave Trade in Nineteenth-Century Slave Narratives by Lincoln Michael Hirn A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2021 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Craig Friend Julia Rudolph Committee Chair _______________________________ Susanna Lee DEDICATION To my parents, for a lifetime of love and support.
