History of Williamsburg Church, and Is a Most Treasured Volume in Many Public and Private Libra Ries HISTORY OF WILLIAMSBURG Something A hout the People oi William sburg County, ^ til Carolina, from the First Settle ment bu Europeans About 1705 until 1923. BY WILLIAM W ILLIS BODDIE COLUMBIA, S . C. THE STATE COMPANY 1923 COPYRIGHT, 1 823. BY WILLIAM WILLIS DODDIE ^£?S I NTRODUCTION Preparing w hat I have called the History of Williams burg has given me great pleasure. It was designed to give statements of fact to one who cares simply for such, as well as to lure the student who wants to learn something of Williamsburg's place in the world. Prac tically everything herein contained is based on ancient documents or official records. mI a very grateful to Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina, for his sympathetic patience with me while gathering material from his office and for much aid given me; and, likewise, to the authorities in the office of the Secretary of State and the Charleston Library. Miss Mabel L. Webber, Secretary of the South Carolina Historical Society, gave me many helpful suggestions. Judge of Probate W. E. Snowden and Clerk of the Court John D. Britton, of Williamsburg, Judge of Probate Frank M. Bryan, of Charleston, and Judge of Probate Thomas E. Richardson, of Sumter, were always very kind and helpful when I worked in their offices. .Mr. B E. Clarkson allowed me the use of the Confed erate War Diary of his late father, William J. Clarkson; Mr. E. C. Epps furnished me a copy of the Retaliation War Prison Diary of his father, the venerable William Epps; and Mrs. J. B. Morrison, Jr., permitted me to gather much material from "Ervins and Their Kin" man uscript of her late father, Reverend E. E. Ervin. Nothing helped me with the early history of this County more than Colonel J. G. Wardlaw's "Genealogy of the Witherspoon Family." Mr. Louis W. Gilland allowed me to make a copy of the old Session Record Book of Williamsburg Presby terian Church, and Mr. D. E. McCutchen one of the Indiantown Presbyterian Church. I have used freely "The Register Book for the Parish Prince Frederick Winyaw," iv I NTRODUCTION editedy b the late Mrs. Elizabeth W. A. Pringle. I have drawn at will from all the published histories of South Carolina, the biographies of men of Williamsburg, and the newspaper files in the Charleston Library. Mrs.. D C. Scott, during many years, collected histori cal material in connection with her work in the patriotic societies of Williamsburg and the Pee Dee Historical Society. I became heir to all this. It was she who first told me the story of the people of Williamsburg and in fluenced me to undertake this delightful labor. Dr. D. C. Scott, out of his more than seventy years of comprehensive understanding of Williamsburg, and Mrs. Boddie, from her naturally beautiful enthusiasm for my work, have both been continuously helpful. They have been most generous in avoiding even an attempt to color my scheme and I desire that no questionable opinion herein be charged to them. Mr. S amuel R. Mouzon, Mr. Harvey J. Brown, Mr. William M. McKnight, and Mr. Alonzo W. Flagler, all Confederate Veterans of more than four score years of age, whose minds are clear and whose memories are vivid, gave me invaluable information. Mr. J. J. B. Montgomery told me a thousand good stories that he would not allow me to publish and helped me to understand many things. Peter G. Gourdin, C. E., contributed for use in this volume his excellent map of Williamsburg, 1923. Mrs. John A. Scott allowed me to copy the Robert Frierson map of Williamsburg (Kingstree) 1801, which greatly adds to the value of this History. Miss A nn Fulton (now Mrs. Glenn E. Scott, Sarasota, Florida,) used her good judgment, both in including and excluding material, in copying for me thousands of pages from old manuscripts. Miss Adeline Shuler prepared from dictation the manuscript for this book. Out of her keenly intelligent interest, she made many helpful sug INTRODUCTION v gestions, b oth as to form and content, that have been incorporated in the work. WILLIAM W ILLIS BODDIE.

BEFORE W ILLIAMSBURG HAD A NAME. The t erritory in Southern North America claimed by the British at the beginning of the seventeenth century was called Virginia. In 1663, that portion South of the parallel of latitude 36° 33' was separated from Virginia and named Carolina in honor of Charles II, King of England. This territory, however, had been designated Carolina by Charles I when he made in 1629 a grant of land to Sir Robert Keith. ICharles I granted Carolina in 1663 to eight noblemen, known as Lords Proprietors. At that time, there were a few scattered settlements along the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers, in what is now North Carolina, but none other in all the vast territory denominated Carolina. These Lords Proprietors believed that they could establish almost at once in this naked country a feudalistic civili zation more complex than had grown up in many centu ries in their mother country. They secured John Locke, a celebrated English philosopher, then under the patron age of Ashley, one of the Lords Proprietors, to write a Constitution for Carolina. While L ocke was one of the most influential thinkers of modern times and wrote a Constitution for Carolina from which Jefferson, Hamilton, and Marshall, a century later, drew many valuable suggestions, he had never visited Carolina and had only his vast store house of learning and his imagination to aid him in creating his remarkable scheme for the government of the widely scat tered settlements in these wilds. His Fundamental Con stitution for Carolina was accepted by the Lords Propri etors and made the law of the land. It was a beautiful theory which Locke had created and he and the Lords 2 H ISTORY OF WILLIAMSBURG Proprietors h ad many hopeful dreams that their plans would materialize. The L ords Proprietors did all they could to consummate the ideal empire that had its origin in the brain of Locke. They made large grants of land in Carolina to seemingly eager English noblemen, expecting these pampered prod ucts of wealth and ease to migrate with their retainers to this wilderness and soon establish an aristocratic Carolina. These E nglish lords did not come to Carolina to live on their estates. They attempted to send hirelings to over come the pioneer matters and create a condition their masters could endure. But hirelings never make a wilder ness a garden unless severely superintended. The E nglish government gave the Lords Proprietors a free hand for more than a half century while Carolina was a Proprietary Province, but the plans of Locke would not work. Finally, seven of the Lords Proprietors ceded back to the King their claims to Carolina, and in 1719 it became a Royal Province.

Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.

    From the Curate - Seasons and Colours The February edition of the magazine is published in the short period between the two groups of “seasons” which fill the first part of the church year. The “incarnation” group of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany finishes with Candlemas on 2nd February. The “Easter” group of Lent and Easter starts on Ash Wednesday – 9th February this year. This year we have a very early Easter on 27th March. Easter can occur on any date between 22nd March and 25th April. It’s quite rare for it to be in the first few or last few days of its range. In three years time, in 2008 it will be earlier still on 23rd March. That’s the earliest it has been for nearly a hundred years; it was last on that date in 1913. So, at least this year, there is still one Sunday between the seasons of Epiphany and Lent. Oddly, because 2008 is a Leap Year, there will also be one then. Normally, when Easter falls on 22nd or 23rd March, there are none. Green becomes the liturgical colour for these periods outside the seasons. These colours are used for the altar frontals and the stoles and other vestments worn by the clergy. At this time of year, when we have the three short seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany followed by a short period of so called “ordinary time” and then Lent, we are changing the colours rather often. Vicki has a significant job of swapping things over! I sometimes wonder if anyone notices, other than a small band of “liturgical anoraks” – which of course includes the clergy.
