  • Dr. Newlin Addison Davis and Eliza Murray Drake
    Dr. Newlin Addison Davis and Eliza Murray Drake On March 1, 1842, at the Ebenezer Camp Meeting in Polk County in southwestern Missouri, twenty-one-year-old Newlin Addison Davis (1821– 1876) married fifteen-year-oldEliza Murray Drake (1826–1888). They were both born in Tennessee and had migrated with their families to Missouri. Family tradition states that Neville’s Davis heritage1 is derived from a family that came to America in the seventeenth century from Cardiff, Wales. Neville’s earliest recorded antecedent in the Davis line is her sixth great- grandfather David Davis (1702–1782), who lived in Town Fork Settlement2 near Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Charlotte C ap e F ea A map of North Carolina r R. showing the location of Town Fork Settlement, where Neville’s Davis ancestors lived for thirty-six years in the latter part of In 1763 Morgan Davis (1735–1831), Neville’s fifth great-grandfather, married the eighteenth century. Sarah Reed (1742–1821), who descended from Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder (1503–1542) and his son, Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger (1521–1554), important figures in sixteenth-century English history.3 It is through the lineage of Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder’s wife, Lady Elizabeth Brooke (1503–1560),4 that Neville is descended from early English royalty and nobility, back to William the Conqueror (1028–1087). Another of Sarah Reed’s antecedents was Dorothea Scott (1611–1688), a renowned Quaker preacher who had considerable interaction with notables of seventeenth-century England.5 The twice-widowed Dorothea emigrated from England to Oyster Bay in colonial New York in 1680 with her daughter, Dorothea Gotherson (1657–1709).

Other editions. As a member of the powerful House of Neville , she played a critical part in the Wars of the Roses fought between the House of York and House of Lancaster for the English crown. I enjoyed all the drama that took place but I disliked the lack of a lesson, when reading a book I want to be left with a life lesson and I did not find one within this novel. While telling her story Anne notes that Middleham is where she feels at home and was most happy. She proves she can do this during a spell were Anne winds up in a cookshop. The reigning king Edward dies and Richard is to raise and guide Edward's son, Edward on the throne. Richard the Third. Anne was on good terms with her mother-in-law Cecily Neville, Duchess of York , with whom she discussed religious works, such as the writings of Mechtilde of Hackeborn. Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland. Novels that feature Richard III tend to be either for or against the former king. This novel will be best suited for any students from grades 8 and up because of the vocabulary it uses, which many eighth graders and higher will already be accustomed with, hopefully.

  • Using Green Or Part Seasoned Wood from Hedges, Woodland, Gardens Etc…
    Using green or part seasoned wood from hedges, woodland, gardens etc… By Peter Child Dry Wood Does not exist! Many visitors to our wood store come looking for nice seasoned discs or chunks of wood 3" thick or more, preferably with the face machine-planed to show the grain. They ask "is it dry?” What they want is wood which can be turned straight away and delivered to the user immediately, without any risk of warping or splitting. You might think this a reasonable request but as you progress with your woodturning, you will learn one extremely important fact of life which is. Seasoned wood 4" thick or more is virtually unobtainable The reason is purely economic. It takes many years to fully air dry a 4" plank of wood or several expensive weeks in a kiln. The high wastage and the cost of the overheads are so high that most sawmills are reluctant to cut anything thicker than 2" for stock. Thicker timber is available but it is usually sold as "part seasoned" before it has a chance to dry fully. It is a sad fact that many sawmills, even reputable ones, will sell thick wood as "kiln dried" which is only dry on the outside skin. If you turn something out of it - say a bowl - you are asking for trouble. The stresses inside the timber are released when it is turned and it will soon warp or split. You might be lucky and find some timber which has been stored for years for some reason, but normally you can be sure that wood more than 3" thick will be only "part seasoned" and will not be suitable for turning immediately into a finished object.
