Vital Records RECORDS OF IMMANUEL CHURCH NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE Compiled by Joan Zerbe The material presented here was compiled from the records of Immanuel Church, New Castle, Delaware. It includes birth, baptism, marriage and burial records from the parish registers dated 1714-1824, 1824-1867, 1867-1899, 1899-1909,1909-1931,1931-1985. The following information has been compiled and is available from the Church office but has not been presented in this publication: communicants, confirmations andparent's names of brides and grooms. Since many records of burials in the 1714-1824 period are missing, we have presented the following notable inscriptions: that of the Rev. George Ross, first rector ofImmanuel and Captain Richard Halliwell, first Rector's Warden, both memorial plaques appear within the church. Those of George Read, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Jehu Curtis, whose inscription was written by Dr. Benjamin Franklin and Hercules Coutts, the earliest inscription, may be found in the Churchyard.

In truth, Elizabeth may not have even lived to see the house completed, as she appears to have died sometime during 1803. The joy Hugh Mercer felt upon seeing his grand house completed must have been tainted wi th the sadness of his wife's passing. Nevertheless, Mercer certainly celebrated hi s new brick home- for few men of his status and occupation enjoyed such accomplishment in federal America. According to historian Donna Rilling, the median artisanal household in turn-of-the-century Philadelphia occupied a frame or bri ck home with a total area of less than 648 square feet. 1 In his New Castle, Delaware town house, Mercer had more than two thirds that amount of space per floor.2 Mercer's two-and-a-half-story, three-bay brick dwelling sat on a prime corner lot at the intersection of Second and Harmony streets. Though it lacked the exquisite composition and punch and gouge ornament of the significantly-larger houses built by New Castilians George Re::id Il and Nicholas van Dyke Jr. only a few years before, 126 Harmony Street was well built 1 Donna Rilling, Making Houses: Crofting Capitalism: Builders in Philadelphia 1790-1850 (Philadelphia: Uni versity of Pennsylvania Press, 2001 ): 13.

  • Us Marines, Manhood, and American Culture, 1914-1924
    THE GLOBE AND ANCHOR MEN: U.S. MARINES, MANHOOD, AND AMERICAN CULTURE, 1914-1924 by MARK RYLAND FOLSE ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR DANIEL RICHES LISA DORR JOHN BEELER BETH BAILEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Mark Ryland Folse 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that between 1914 and 1924, U.S. Marines made manhood central to the communication of their image and culture, a strategy that underpinned the Corps’ effort to attract recruits from society and acquire funding from Congress. White manhood informed much of the Marines’ collective identity, which they believed set them apart from the other services. Interest in World War I, the campaigns in Hispaniola, and the development of amphibious warfare doctrine have made the Marine Corps during this period the focus of traditional military history. These histories often neglect a vital component of the Marine historical narrative: the ways Marines used masculinity and race to form positive connections with American society. For the Great War-era Marine Corps, those connections came from their claims to make good men out of America’s white youngsters. This project, therefore, fits with and expands the broader scholarly movement to put matters of race and gender at the center of military history. It was along the lines of manhood that Marines were judged by society. In France, Marines came to represent all that was good and strong in American men.

    E207 .R6 .F73 Delaware's hero for all times and all seasons by William P. Frank I © Copyright, 1975, by the Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial Commission Design by James A. Collins B IVES hero bv William P. Frank Illustrations by A. N. Wyeth Delaware American Revolution Bicentennial. Commission Wilmington, Delaware 1975 This booklet is dedicated to The Honorable Sherman W. Tribbitt, Governor of the Delaware, in recognition of his own dedication to bringing proper recognition of Caesar Rodney's services and during the American Revolution. Thomas McKean, Caesar Rodney, and George Read, Deirnt·are 's signers of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar Rodney rides through American history as the patron saint of his native state, Delaware's principal hero of the American Revolutionary War. In his brief 55-year life he held more public offices than any other Delawarean before or since. He was a soldier, a judge, a delegate to the American Continental Congress, speaker of the Delaware Assembly, a chief executive of Delaware, a justice of the state's Supreme Court, and held many other offices of public trust. Unlike Thomas McKean, George Read, and John Dickinson, with whom he served in Congress, Rodney was not a scholar. McKean and Dickinson, because they were more learned, were better known beyond Delaware's boundaries than was Rodney. But it is Rodney's name, not McKean's, Dickinson's nor Read's that is familiar to Americans today. The equestrian statue in Wilmington, Delaware, of Rodney riding to Philadelphia to cast Delaware's deciding vote for the Declaration of Independence in July, 1776, has been adopted by scores of writers, artists, playwrights, poets and businesses as the symbol of Delaware's participation in the American Revolution and the Declaration.
