  • Joshua Barney —
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES AND DOCUMENTS THE DEATH AND INTERMENT OF JOSHUA BARNEY Rebecca Hoskins CC* IVHESE bones live in the patriotic affection of the American X people. Clothed in the image of God, and animated with the spirit of their departed heroes, they were the public property of the nation." lThus spoke William McCandless on May 12, 1848, as he gave the funeral oration upon the removal to Allegheny Cemetery of the body of Commodore Joshua Barney, renowned naval hero of the American Revolution. Few residents of Pittsburgh are aware that their city is the last resting place of Joshua Barney, a colorful naval officer of the Revolu- tionary War. Barney, whose portrait hangs in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, had several links with the state of Pennsylvania and, although they are far from the sea, it is fitting that his bones rest inPittsburgh. This article willhighlight Barney's career as itpertains to this state and area, and detail the circumstances surrounding his death and burial in Pittsburgh. Barney's naval career was varied and interesting. Born in Maryland in 1759, he followed his boyhood obsession with the sea and was commissioned a navy lieutenant in 1776. He was twice captured by the British and served a year in an English prison but escaped back to America. He served with distinction in the navy until 1784 when he left voluntarily after a dispute over his rank. For the next ten years he engaged in commercial ventures, until in 1794 he bought an estate inKentucky. Barney then entered the merchant service and sailed as a privateer until 1796 when he was appointed a commander in the French navy.

  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.

  • Mount Vernon, Spring, 1788 George Washington, James Madison, Col
    I SETTING: Mount Vernon, Spring, 1788 PLAYERS: George Washington, James Madison, Col. David Humphreys, former aide-de-camp to George Washington and close friend PROPS: A facsimile of an 18th century newpaper and a manuscript letter NARRATOR: Welcome to Mount Vernon and the re-enactment of the good ship Federa1ist 's arriva1 at George Washington's home on the Potomac. We are all well aware of last autumn's celebration surrounding the bicentennial of the United States Constitution. However, as George Washington knew, September 17th, 1787 was only the beginning of the struggle to form a workable government. Although it is indeed a most historic date, the fact remains that without the states' approval of the Constitution, the efforts of the delegates in Philadelphia would have been for naught. On June 1, 1788, Captain Joshua Barney, an American nava1 hero of the Revolutionary War, set sail from Baltimore in a fifteen-foot ship christened the Federalist. A symbol of Maryland's recent ratification of the Constitution, Barney presented the ship to Washington upon his arrival at Mount Vernon on June g, two hundred years ago today. As we await Captain Barney's arrival, I direct your attention to _ where George Washington, the ever-gracious host, is joined by James Madison, a leading supporter of the Constitution and fellow Virginian, and Colonel David Humphreys, an aide-de-camp to Washington during the Revolutionary War and a trusted friend. They are discussing the ratification of the Constitution, as well as one of the likely results of its adoption - the election of General Washington as first president of the United States.

Brian Logan is Brian Logan Real Estate’s last known registered agent and principal officer. 2 Upon information and belief, Brian Logan Real Estate’s District business license expired in 1990.

In support of its claims, the District states as follows. INTRODUCTION 1. The District of Columbia faces a housing crisis. Affordable housing stock has trended downward while rents have trended upward, squeezing out low-income tenants. Housing-assistance programs that subsidize rent are a core pillar of the District’s response to these pressures. By subsidizing rent, housing assistance programs help the District’s lowest-income populations avoid homelessness and maintain a foothold in private housing.
