  • Marion County in the Making
    Foreword In presenting this history of pioneer Marion County, the Class of 1916 of the Fairmont High School wishes to make known to the public the object of this effort and to acknowledge its indebtedness to all who have so kindly assisted in the work. The past, present and future are indissolubly joined. We of this feverish twentieth century are mightily concerned as to the present and the future, but are in great danger of forgetting the past, without which we can neither understand the present nor prepare for the future. The days when in the long winter evenings the family gathered about the fire and listened eagerly to the tales of adventure, of hardship, of redskins, of goblins and of ghosts, handed down from one generation to another—those days are gone never to return. In this day we read the evening paper by our electric light and think only of the morrow. Of our grandfathers' and our great-grand fathers' time we know little or nothing. From written history we may learn of the pioneer life of New England and of old Virginia, but of the deeds and lives of our own ancestors we of Marion County are most ignorant. Some such realization as this prompted the Class of 1916, Fairmont High School, to undertake the collection and preservation of this most interesting and valuable unwritten history—history that was lived right here in Marion County. The great object in the preparation of this book has been to gather up new material. Information on such subjects as dress, manners and customs, homes and homelife, remedies and superstitions, songs, legends, etc., found in published accounts has not been used.

    1 Black Markets for Black Labor Pirates, Privateers, and Interlopers in the Early Dispersal of British Slavery Gregory E. O’Malley Caltech Early Modern Group 2014 “The 3d of June [1722], they met with a small New-England Ship, bound home from Barbadoes, which . yielded herself a Prey to the Booters: The Pyrates took out of her fourteen Hogsheads of Rum, six Barrels of Sugar, a large Box of English Goods . , [and] six Negroes, besides a Sum of Money and Plate, and then let her go on her Voyage.” ~Capt. Charles Johnson, General History of the Pyrates1 By the mid-eighteenth century, networks of intercolonial trade would link the many European colonies of the Americas, facilitating a dispersal trade in the enslaved African people arriving from across the Atlantic. But during the early decades of English colonization in the Americas, such regular intercolonial trade circuits lay in the distant future. Instead, in the foundational decades of slavery in English America [ca. 1619-1700], the dispersal of Africans was more 1 Captain Charles Johnson [Daniel Defoe], A General History of the Pyrates, ed. Manuel Schonhorn (Mineola, N.Y., 1999), 314. The current consensus among literary scholars is that Defoe was not actually the author of the General History, but this edition (which attributes authorship to Defoe) is still the best scholarly edition in many regards, including its tracing of primary sources the author used to compile the accounts. Most scholars now accept the interpretation of P. N. Furbank and W. R.

FOREWORD. For several years it has been my effort to assemble the names of the de­ scendants of William Wilson and Elizabeth Blackburn, who settled finally in what is now Hardy County, West Virginia. The task has been an arduous one with many discouragements, but after much labor it is here presented in the best form pos­ sible under the circumstances. It was my main purpose merely to assemble the names of which there are now over 7,200. It is my guess, (not even an estimate,) that at least 1,500 are not yet included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the early part of the eigh­ teenth century and no further traces have been found. A word as to the accuracy of this list. Please remember all had to be ac­ cumulated by correspondence. In many cases no replies were received and informa­ tion had to be gathered from the best available sources. Very often the data were given from memory. Many of the dates and the spelling of the names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in.

Journal of Heuristics manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Finding Short and Implementation-friendly Addition Chains with Evolutionary Algorithms Stjepan Picek · Carlos A. Coello Coello · Domagoj Jakobovic · Nele Mentens Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract Finding the shortest addition chain for a given exponent is a sig- nificant problem in cryptography. In this work, we present a genetic algorithm with a novel encoding of solutions and new crossover and mutation opera- tors to minimize the length of the addition chains corresponding to a given exponent. We also develop a repair strategy that significantly enhances the performance of our approach. The results are compared with respect to those generated by other metaheuristics for exponents of moderate size, but we also investigate values up to 2255 − 21. For numbers of such size, we were unable to find any results produced by other metaheuristics which could be used for comparison purposes.
