It is to be doubted whether any parish has, in its present possession, the complete record of its history and activity since its inception. Carelessness and fire seem to be the destroying elements, whereby documents of intrinsic worth, particularly valuable to a compiler of such a work as this, have been lost forever. From the foundation of this parish in 1816 down to the year 1831, no information, other than meagre generalities, is obtain­ able. The vestry minutes and church records were in the pos­ session of the Rev. Edward K. Fowler, and were destroyed when the old Mansion House was burned. In fact no church records back of 1870 are now in existence, lost probably in the same fire. However, the gap has been imperfectly bridged by refer­ ences to family records, old scrap books, clippings, and Quinlan's "History ofSullivan Co~tnty." I am particularly indebted to Major John Waller, whose keen memory at the age of 90 has enabled me to clear away many doubts regarding the past, and to present to the parish this ac­ count of its history.

  • News and Notes 1980-1989
    NEWS AND NOTES FROM The Prince George's County Historical Society Vol. VIII, no. 1 January 1980 The New Year's Program There will be no meetings of the Prince George's County Historical Society in January or February. The 1980 meeting program will begin with the March meeting on the second Saturday of that month. Public Forum on Historic Preservation The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will sponsor a public forum on the future of historic preservation in Prince George's County on Thursday, January 10, at the Parks and Recreation Building, 6600 Kenilworth Avenue, in Riverdale. This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.

  • A History of the Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia
    A HISTORY OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE BAPTISTS IN VIRGINIA BY ROBERT B. SEMPLE 1809 REVISED AND EXTENDED REV. G. W. BEALE, 1894 With explanatory footnotes added by Bradley Cobb, 2017. Cobb Publishing Publisher’s Preface This book is being republished at the request of some who see in it a usefulness for combatting modern attempts at changing and editing history to promote a false narrative. The only changes made in this edition of A History of the Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia are in spelling, punctuation, and formatting. Footnotes from the 1809 edition are generally marked with “Author’s note” at the end. Any footnotes which give additional historical or geographical notes are ad- ditions from the 1894 edition. The remaining footnotes, all of which are to explain a potentially archaic or obscure word or phrase, are new to this edition. In the Appendix, which contains several letters and addresses, we did not seek to correct any of the spelling or capitalization to modern usage, but left it as in the original. In some instances, last names were spelled differently throughout the book (“Harriss” and “Harris,” for example). When these were noted, we made them uniform (now they all read “Harris”) in order not to detract from the content of the book. A History of the Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia, Updated Edition, is copyright © 2017 Bradley S. Cobb, all rights reserved.

William Carter Stubbs. PREFACE. 1235103 For many years the author of this pamphlet has been collecting data relative to the Catlett family of the United States. So far as our extensive investigations have been made, the only immigrants of this name to this country at any time were Col. John and his two minor sons, Nicholas and Thomas, who came over in 1650 and settled on the Eappahannock Eiver in Virginia. Therefore every one bearing this name must trace his descent back to Col. John or his two minor sons. Mr. W. G-. Stannard, Editor of the Virginia Historical Magazine and Secretary of the Virginia Historical So- ^.., entertains Y ciety—the highest authority on Virginia genealogies— )^ the same opinion. With this opinion, every one bearing this name, ^- wherever found, has been requested by letter (sometimes several), to give all the information possessed or obtainable, of her or his branch and its history. Many of these letters are still unanswered, and therefore no additional information obtained. It is reasonably certain that a goodly number of families of this name scattered throughout the country are still unrevealed, and therefore cannot be named in these pages.

  • Britishness, Anti-Britishness, and Canadianism C
    Document generated on 10/02/2021 2:40 a.m. Journal of the Canadian Historical Association Revue de la Société historique du Canada Eminent Pearsonians: Britishness, Anti-Britishness, and Canadianism C. P. Champion Volume 16, Number 1, 2005 Article abstract Britishness in mid-Twentieth century Canada is usually treated as a fading URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/015736ar overseas tie, a foreign allegiance, or a mark of dependency and colonial DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/015736ar immaturity. There is a tendency to assume a kind of Manichean division between pro-British and anti-British: either in favour of Canadian See table of contents independence, or beholden to the British connection, and to draw too sharp a distinction between what was “British” and what was genuinely “Canadian.” However, a study of the Eminent Pearsonians – three generations of Canadians Publisher(s) whose anglophilia and Canadianness were intermingled – suggests that they were neither purely anglophile nor quite anglophobe but a tertium quid. The Canadian Historical Association/La Société historique du Canada Britishness and Canadianism were far more interpenetrated than is commonly thought. The nationalism and internationalism of Pearson and his ISSN contemporaries adumbrated their adoptive English liberalism and British liberal imperialism.
