In England their coat of arms bore the motto-"] Always Live By Virtue.'' Many of those in this country have accepted the motto of Reverend William Roscoe Chalk, born in North Carolina, in 1816, and from whom many in this book are descended.-His motto being, "My Word Is As Good as My Bond." May every descendant of the Chalk Family let this be his watchword through life. This Chalk History is the result of more than forty years of labor, research and travel, both in the United States and England. If it will give any help or pleas­ ure to members of the Chalk Family, I shall feel fully repaid for my efforts. · Grateful acknowledgment is made to my sister, Mrs. Lelia Chalk Dalton, my daughter, Mrs. Anne Rose Heusinger, and to my cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Sierk, Mrs. Edna Chalk Weant, Baltimore, Maryland; Mrs. Lillian Chalk Bro-µJn, Jonesville, S. C.; Mr. Oran Lee Chalk of Denver, and to all who assisted in anv manner in preparing this history. Their splendid co­ operation will ever be remembered most gratefully. The records in this history have been inserted as given. Many names and dates have not been legible­ and some information-doubtful as to accuracv., In judging this history-please bear this in mind, if errors are found. -MRS. MINNA CHALK (Scarr) HYMAN r s . Sor h inno Ch lk (Scott) Hymn FOREWORD The author, Sarah Minna Chalk (Scott) Hyman, was the oldest child of Robert L. Chalk and wife, Anne Margaret (Butcher) Chalk. During the Civil War, her father was captured at the Battle of Arkansas Post and taken to Camp Bµtler, Illinois. He escaped, met her mother at her home in Camanche, Iowa, and fell in love at first sight. After the War, having finished his Law course at Lebanon, Tennessee, he returned to Iowa for his bride. They settled in Kansas, then a new country, and lived there for some three years. Two children, Sarah Minna and George Otis were born there. They then moved to Belton, Texas, where his family had gone in 1851 from Tennessee. Two infant sons were born but died in in­ fancy. There the second daughter, Lelia Blanche was born, who after the mother's death, made her home with her sister Minna in West Texas. Many cherished memories cling around this old town of Belton: the big old two-story rock house of her grandfather Chalk on the hill above Nolan Coeek; the old Methodist Church; the cemetery where so many loved ones lie. None is dearer than Nolan Creek where she played as a child and carried cool spring water to the house to drink. Dear, too, were the Sunday evenings when her mother p~ayed the organ, and family and friends sang sacred songs. After a trip to New Orleans, her maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward G. Butcher, of Iowa, visited their daughter Mrs. Chalk and family in Belton, and took Minna home with them. She remained for four years in Iowa at school, and in her last year there was chosen May Queen-a thrill she still remembers. After returning home, she visited her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. E. Gilliland in West Texas. Mr. Gilliland was manager of the H. S. or Hackberry Ranch, owned by Mr. William Thomas Scott. Three months later, she and Mr. Scott were married at the Old Methodist Church in Belton. Mr. Scott was of an old Southern family, who had come from Mississippi in 1834. His father, Colonel William T. Scott, the 1st, had been in the Senate of the Republic of Texas, the Secessional and State Legislature, and was Vice-President of the Southern-Pacific Railroad. For the services to the Railroad he was given much of the land which comprised the H. S. Ranch in Mitchell County and which his son W. T. Scott inherited. W. T. Scott and his wife lived in Colorado City, then the largest town in the West, and in the brick home built by the daughter of Old General Tom Green and for whom the county of Tom Green was named. It was here that their three sons were born. In 1898 they moved to Ft. Worth, Texas. They planned together and built their house there that was called "The Castle on the Hill." Their only daughter Anne Rose was born there, and it was there also that Mr. Scott died. Anne Rose was named for her two grandmothers, Anne being for her mother's mother, and Rose the paternal grandmother's maiden name. Colonel Rose, the ancestor, is buried at Scottsville, Texas, the family burying ground. The Scott family joined the old First Methodist Church and Sunday School in Fort Worth, and Mr. Scott was elected one of the Stewards, which position he held at his death. He was also a Steward of the Polytechnic College. A beautiful Memorial window was placed in the new Church on Seventh Street in his mem­ ory. The Chalk family also placed a window next to Mr. Scott's for their Uncle John Wesley Chalk, a Methodist Minister. He was the first minister to preach there, when it was only a Fort. Mrs. Scott became interested in the Daughters of the American Revolution and joined the Society through Honorable John Hart, a Signer of the Declara­ tion of Independence, January 3, 1900, National Number 30529. The Nancy Stout Chapter, · Children of the American Revolution, named for her ancestor, . 1X FOREWORD was organized in her home, May 30, 1900. Her sister, Lelia Chalk, was elected an officer and her three sons were members. After Mr. Scott's death, she was persuaded to accept the Regency of the Mary Isham Keith Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. She became the second Regent of the Chapter and held this position until she left Fort Worth. The first real State Conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Texas was 'held in Ft. Worth in 1903. The business session was held in the morning at the home of Mrs. Will Harrison, at which session the State Regent, Mrs. John Lane Henry, was present. ~frs. Scott gave the address of welcome. The Reception that afternoon was held in Mrs. Scott's home, at which Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, of Galveston, Mrs. Huling P. Robertson, of Temple, Mrs. James B. Clark, of Austin, and i\-Irs. John D. Claybrook, of Austin, were her house-guests. Mrs. Susan Polk Rayner, Mr. Hyman's grandmother, a Real Daughter, was present, the only Real Daughter we have ever had in Texas, and all the atten­ tion and honor of the day was paid her. Her father was Colonel William Polk of North Carolina, and it was he who read the Mecklenburg Declaration of In­ dependence on the Court House steps in Mecklenburg, North Carolina a year before the Declaration of Independence was read in Philadelphia. Mrs. Scott's enthusiasm never lagged or wavered in the study of her ancestry, and after more than forty years it is still her hobby. For thirteen years she was State Genealogist, and later elected State Regent, of Texas, serving the full time of two years. She was second Regent of the Mary Isham Keith Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, of Fort Worth; Regent and Vice Regent of the San Antonio de Bexar Chapter; organized the Alamo Chapter while State Regent, was its second Regent and held this position for eight years until she moved from San Antonio. She has the following lines of Daughters of the American Revolution: I. Hon. John Hart, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, from New Jersey. 2. Edward Hart, of Beverly, West Virginia. 3. Capt.

    CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 31, 2014 CONVERT BUT NOT CONVERTED: THE WESTERN LIVES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARY WOMEN IN CHINA (1860-1920) Caroline Hearn Fuchs, M.I.A. MALS Mentor: Kazuko Uchimura, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Kate Roberts Hearn was buried in a Shanghai cemetery in 1891, a short four years after her acceptance into the Women’s Missionary Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1873, Charlotte “Lottie” Moon left for a new life in China as a single missionary woman. She served in that country for nearly 40 years, dying aboard ship on a final return voyage to the United States. Both women left their American homes expecting to convert the people of an alien land to Christianity. They also arrived in China prepared to maintain their Western rituals and comforts, which effectively separated them from the Chinese and cultivated a sense of the “Other.” In this way, missionary women came to convert, but were not converted themselves. Missionary communities, specifically missionary women, vigorously sought to maintain domestic and work lifestyles anchored in Western culture. The rise of “domesticity” in the nineteenth century gave women an influential role as a graceful redeemer, able to transform “heathens” by demonstrating civilized values of a Christian home, complete with Western elements of cleanliness, companionable marriage, and the paraphernalia of Victorian life, such as pianos in the parlor.

The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.

  • Women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist Traditions: a Bibliography
    1 Women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist Traditions: A Bibliography Edited by Susan E. Warrick The General Commission on Archives and History The United Methodist Church P.O. Box 127, 36 Madison Ave. Madison, New Jersey 1991, 2003 INTRODUCTION The history of women in the Wesleyan and United Methodist tradition is one of almost ceaseless activity. From faithful attendance in worship to service as missionaries, teachers, pastors' wives, preachers, organizers, and reformers, women stepped from their homes into a needy world. In the fruitful collaboration of women and the church is written much of the history of the Wesleyan movement. Women's church work is also the foundation of their involvement in social and political reform. This bibliography reflects the rich variety of women's work in the church; however, one of the lessons learned early in the process was that scholars have only begun to recover and interpret the history of that work. We hope that this bibliography will spur examination of some long-neglected areas. This effort is indebted to Kenneth E. Rowe's pioneering contribution, Methodist women: a guide to the literature (1980), the first comprehensive bibliography of titles related to women in the Wesleyan tradition. For several years thereafter, Carolyn DeSwarte Gifford and Karen Heetderks Strong, then of the General Commission staff, collected information on additional sources, keeping pace with a growing body of scholarship. The first edition of this bibliography incorporated their work with my own, and was completed in 1991. The current edition includes titles published up through December 2001. This bibliography is extensive, but it cannot claim to be exhaustive.

  • Thomas Smythe, of Westhanger, Commonly Called Customer Smythe
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 17 1887 ( 193 ) THOMAS SMYTHE, OE WESTENHANGER, COMMONLY CALLED CUSTOMER SMYTHE. BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A. THE family of Smithe,* or Smythe, from which sprang the Lords Strangford, was settled at Corsham in "Wilts in the time of Henry VHI.f John Smythe, a substantial yeoman and clothier, who married a daughter of Thomas Brounker,J died at Corsham in 1538, leaying his wife a life interest in his mill, with the reversion of it to his son John, as well as his other property. John Smythe's eldest son, named after his father, married a daughter of John Lygon of Eiehard Castle, Herefordshire, to whom a grant of arms was accorded.§ To Thomas, his younger son, horn in 1522, he left a farm in the Hundred of Amesbury, "Wilts, of the value of £20 per annum. Thomas, who must have been about sixteen years of age at the time of his father's death, came up to London with the intention of seeking his fortune. Before commencing business on his own account, which he was able to do after disposing of his landed property, he took up his freedom in his father's guild, the Haberdashers, and subsequently in that of the Skinners 11 also, which may account for his intimate connection with Sir Andrew Judde. In the reign of Queen Mary Mr. Thomas Smythe succeeded in the office of the Customs one Mr. Cocker,H" to whom he paid a sum of £2500 as a fine. Shortly afterwards he married his first and only wife Alice, daughter of Sir Andrew Judde.
