THE FAMILY ARMS ON THE COVER The Rev. Peter Y erburgh (pronounced Yarborough) has sent a new coat of anns for the cover of the family magazine. Rev. Peter has also put together a collection of tht. English Y erburgh­ Yarburgh family for our quarterly use, which he de~ires (when we are through) to go to the Salt Lake Genealogical Family Library in Salt Lake City. We cannot thank Peter enough for his great knowledge, and his keen interest in his American cousins. Peter, at this time, is continuing to search for records and clues to see what he can bring to light for Richard, son of Thomas, of whom he reported in the last quarterly. Arms: Per pale, arg., and az., a chev., between three chaplets, all counterchanged. Crest: A falcon close, or belled, of the last, preying on a duck, ppr. Motto: Non est sine pulvere palma Seat: Heslington Hall, near York. Family: The Yarburghs ofHeslington, among whom was Sir Nicholas. Quartering: Atwell, Billing, Wormeley, Blague and Hesketh. The form of the shield used on the cover came into use in 1648. The helmet, is an old element, which like the shield, went through varying degrees of change. The 1ncreasing splendor of helmets also reflected a chivalrous way of life. In time helmet mantling developed and became ornate. At first it covered only the back of helmet. Later, the larger the manning the greater the family status. In Germany mantling matched the shield. In England mantling could be colored as desired until 1790. Then livery colors had to be used. The colors of the Yarburghs are argent and azure (siver and blue). And, even the colors have their own meanings. With the end of the age of chivalry the value of the helmet declined, but the helmet and crest remain part of the full achievement of arms. Earlier the high esteem attached to the helmet caused certain families to have more than one helmet attached to a crest. Peter treats this occurrence in the Y arburgh family. This was done to denote prestige in a very high-ranking family. Here it is in the Yarburgh family of Campsmount. We do thank Peter for his caring and sharing nature. mE YARBRQUGH FAMILY QUARTERLY YOLVME 8. NO.I. PAGE 4 m~t larbrnug}t National C&tntalngiral & )li.sbtriral Assnctatinn.1Jnr. The President's Comer: The 1998 Family Conference in Columbia, SC on July 31 to August 1, 1998 was a most pleasant experience for all who were able to attend. Our hosts, Edwin and Suzanne Yarborough. planned well for the meetings, tours of interest in the area, entertainment and the banquet at the close Saturday evening. THANKS- EDWIN and SUZANNE- you are Southern hospitality at its best! The board of directors met Friday, July 31, prior to the Family Meeting and nominated for re-election three members, "Billy" Yarbro, Len Yarborough and Edwin Yarborough, whose terms expired this year, to three year terms expiring in 2001. The board then elected James Yarbrough to replace Roger Yarbrough. We welcome James, who is from Tucker, GA, a new member of our board. Regrettably, Phil Yarbrough, who has been our capable and energetic President for the past six years, said he had served long enough and resigned this year. PHIL and MARY, a team without equal, have given expert leadership, countless hours of time, counsel, encouragement, and, I suspect a considerable number of$ of their own, to the work we are all benefitting from. THANK YOU, PHIL and MARY, you are the greatest! There are no changes in those who serve us so well in research, archives, editing, printing and distribution. Thanks so much to all in these endeavors-their names are listed elsewhere. It might help expedite the flow of information if those sending a query to Karen Mazock would send a copy of same to Kent and Kimra who would print it in the Family Quarterly. With a great team of experienced and dedicated Y arbroughs like the above, all I have to do this year is keep out of the way! I Welcome your ideas, suggestions, comments, and, yes your criticism!

PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

Keane: Radicals in the Revolution: The Persecution of Christians During RADICALS IN THE REVOLUATION: THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR By Kevan D. Keane This paper explores the plight of radical Christians in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. Pennsylvania, up until the American Revolution, was governed by Quakers, and home to people of many denominational backgrounds, including various Anabaptist sects, such as the Amish, Mennonites, and Brethren. Both Quakers and Anabaptists adhered to the most conservative interpretation of Jesus’s teachings on not resisting an evil person (Matthew 5:38-42) and the swearing of oaths (Matthew 5:33-37). When Protestant revolutionaries took over the Pennsylvania government during the War, they required all residents of Pennsylvania to take an oath of allegiance to the Colony.

  • Webner 1 the Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community a Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County
    Webner 1 The Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community A Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County, Virginia By Teresa Webner, 2010 In Virginia, recently developed rural areas will probably have within their boundaries several small family cemeteries. This is the case in southeastern Chesterfield County. Cemeteries here are found in the middle of new housing developments built on former estates. Houses built in the nineteenth century were often the victims of fires, leaving cemeteries as the only remaining artifacts of an area’s first settlers. It is here, with these gravestones’ chiseled inscriptions, where we can find not only the names of the buried people, but also names that may correspond with nearby street names, housing developments, or even strip malls. The monikers chosen for streets or other municipal or commercial properties are not chosen at random. The names are chosen to connect the present with the past. Cemeteries are useful in connecting a community to its past. Graveyards are seen as endpoints in life; however, for making connections from present to past, they can serve as starting points. Beginning with tombstone sizes and inscriptions, one can discern who was prominent in a community. By starting with the name on a family cemetery’s grandest stone, one is led on a journey into the past as that inscribed name appears and reappears in connection with other historical events and important people. These farm cemeteries and the historical inquiry they inspire resemble a spirelli, a type Webner 2 of string art, leading us from one historical event to another, showing how connected we all are.
