    Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology 402 West Washington Street, Room W274 Indianapolis, IN 46204 317-232-1646 National Register of Historic Places – Sample Nomination Form Mary Birdsall House, Wayne County, Indiana This example will be most useful to applicants who are preparing a form for a property with significant historical associations or for a property that is associated with a historically significant person (National Register Criteria A and B). The Birdsall House(left) meets National Register Criteria A, B, and C. It was home to one of Indiana’s leading suffrage activists in the th mid-19 century. The unknown designer of the house was heavily influenced by architectural periodicals of the period that emphasized efficient, compact designs. The application provides a historical background, or context, that establishes the importance of the historic trend, and the property’s place within that trend. It also documents the achievements of the individual within her field. Both approaches to nominating a historically significant property could be useful to applicants. Be sure to contact the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology if you should have further questions.

Born in Yorkshire, England, Nathan Birdsall (c.1611-c.1696) arrived in Boston with his father, Henry Birdsall, in 1632. He was living in East Hampton, L.I., in 1657, and in 1666 he relocated to Matinecock, Town of Oyster Bay, L.I. In 1679, he purchased land in Jerusalem (present-day Wantagh, L.I.), Town of Hempstead, N.Y., where some of his grandchildren later settled. Note: Wantagh was also formerly known as Ridgewood, N.Y. John Garner (?-1833), a school teacher, arrived in the United States from Armagh County, Northern Ireland, and settled in Jerusalem sometime around 1801. These men’s descendants, who were largely Quakers, flourished in Jerusalem. They eventually intermarried with, and/or entered into business or personal relationships with, members of virtually every historically notable family in that area of Long Island. Among other things, they became extremely successful farmers and merchants.

  • Smith, Grant and Irons Families
    SMITH, GRANT AND IRONS FAMILIES OF New Jersey's Shore Counties Including the Related Families of WILLETS AND BIRDSALL Compiled by JAMES W. HOOK 80 Temple St. New Haven 6, Conn. I FOREWORD This book was written primarily to record what is known about Thomas Smith and his brother William of Cape May County, New Jersey and to carry the record of Thomas and connecting families nown four generations to an intennar­ riage with the Hook family in 1803. The task was a diffi­ cult one, first because of the many families of Smith and Grant that entered the scene at various times and places, ann second because of the 0iversity of records that had to be searched and coor~inated. Occasionally public records and the records of cemeteries, churches and family Bibles would show variations making it almost impossible to ascer­ tain which date or name should be accepted as correct. The writer did his best to be accurate and apologizes in advance for any errors tnat may be found. The families chronicled were interesting ones and lived in a time and in places when and where important history was made. Much more could be written than is writ­ ten about various members of these families and the events that transpired in the places where they lived but that task must be left to others. This writer hopes that this addi­ tional work will be done so that, in time, each family will be fully recorded for future generations to enjoy. The writer expresses his warmest thanks to each of those who supplied Bible and other records and read and corrected preliminary manuscripts as this work progressed.
