[email protected] Revised August 13, 2021 This file lists Register articles from Volume 1 (1847) to date, as well as all articles reprinted in fifteen volumes published by Genealogical Publishing Company. Those volumes, selected and introduced by Gary Boyd Roberts, are: Mayflower Source Records (1986) (MSR) Genealogies of Mayflower Families, 3 volumes (1985) (GMF) English Origins of New England Families, First Series, 3 volumes (1984) (EONEF1) English Origins of New England Families, Second Series, 3 volumes (1985) (EONEF2) Genealogies of Connecticut Families, 3 volumes (1983) (GenCTF) Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, 2 volumes (1989) (GenRIF) The abbreviations in parentheses above are used in the file to indicate the volume in which an article or series was reprinted. A few articles appear in two different series of volumes. All of the GPC volumes have been released on CD-ROMs, which are now out of print. MSR and GMF are on Family Tree Maker's Family Archives CD#171: Genealogies of Mayflower Families, 1500s-1800s, EONEF1 and EONEF2 on their CD#181: English Origins of New England Families, 1500s-1800s, GenCTF on their CD#179: Connecticut Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s, and GenRIF on their CD#180: Rhode Island Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s. As this file was created for my own use a few words about the format of the entries are in order. The entries are listed by Register volume. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 135, will illustrate the format used: Volume 135 (1981) 135 (1981):36-44, 121-132 (Cont. from 134:298) (GMF 3:488-566) Descendants of John1 Stockbridge Roger D. Joslyn The first line precedes the set of entries for a volume. It is in boldface to aid the reader in locating a particular volume, and indicates the year that volume was published. The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the Register pages for an article found in that volume. When a series spans more than one volume a note in parentheses indicates the volume and page from which or to which it is continued. At the end of the first line the reprint is shown - in this case it is Genealogies of Mayflower Families, Volume 3, pages 488-566. The second line shows the title of the article, and the third, the author. This file will be revised quarterly as each new issue of the Register is published.

Professor John Wigger Professor Jeffery Pasley Professor Catherine Rymph Professor Theodore Koditschek Professor Brian Kierland DEDICATION For the two Angies, who are the lights of my life. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I take special pleasure in acknowledging the assistance that I have received in completing this project. After a career in higher education and local government, I retired and began working on a degree in history at the University of Missouri. My age – I was 63 when I started – was unusual, but I am also blind. Both the faculty with whom I worked and the UM support staff gave me the assistance and encouragement that made possible the research and analysis necessary to complete a dissertation. The people with whom I have worked at the University of Missouri are genuinely competent; but beyond that, they are thoroughly generous and kind. I am very happy to have this occasion to sincerely thank each of them. I had the good fortune to have the direction in my research of John Wigger, a fine scholar and a caring man.

  • Biography of Rev. Stephen Bachiler
    Page updated: April 27, 2010 Return to Rev. Stephen Bachiler Table of Contents Stephen Bachiler An Unforgiven Puritan By Victor C. Sanborn Concord, NH New Hampshire Historical Society -- 1917 The story which I have to tell concerns the biography of one who lived through the years of the most wonderful century of English history, that period from 1560 to 1660. Those years marked the youth and splendor of British achievement in the realm of spiritual awakening, of literary and intellectual development, and of commercial activity, colonization, and world building. In the hundred years I have mentioned Puritanism made its first successful stand against the English church, which still clung to Romish superstition. They saw, those golden years, the imperishable dramas of Shakespeare unfolded to the world, the lofty verse of Milton, the graceful muse of Jonson, and the brilliant philosophy of Bacon. For them the poetical soul, the chivalrous life and death of Sir Philip Sidney, were current fact, not history and tradition. In that short century lived and died the great freebooters of the virgin seas, Raleigh and Drake, Frobisher and Hawkins. Less afraid of new worlds than of old creeds, the Pilgrims and the Puritans in that century left their homes in the " haunt of ancient peace," and sought fresh soil wherein to plant the colony which was to grow into our present vast spreading republic. The feeble, pedantic, and pleasure loving Stuarts saw in that century the sceptre snatched from their hands, when Hampden, Cromwell, and Harry Vane turned England from a kingdom into a commonwealth. In the same period Holland became a Protestant republic in spite of the bloody persecutions of Philip.

Also the form of ^(£) would depend on the particular circle chosen, but one form may be transformed into any other by replacing £ by the product of £ and the appropriate nth root of unity. UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. EMORY McCLINTOCK. BUT few members of the American Mathematical Society at the present time appreciate the magnitude of the services rendered by its former president, Emory McClintock, who died July 10, 1916. He was born September 19, 1840, at Carlisle, Pa. His father was the Rev. John McClintock, a learned Methodist Episcopal clergyman, for a time professor of mathematics, Latin, and Greek in Dickinson College, and during the Civil War chaplain of the American Chapel in Paris. He is perhaps best known as the author, with another, of a " Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature." McClintock went to school for the first time at the age of thirteen, and a year later entered the freshman year of Dickin­ son College. In 1856, when his father left Dickinson College for New York, he entered Yale, and in 1857 he entered Colum­ bia as a member of the class of 1859. His remarkable ability excited the admiration of his teachers, Professors Charles Davies and William Guy Peck. In April, 1859 in order to meet an emergency caused by the illness of a member of the teaching staff, he was graduated and appointed tutor in mathe­ matics. Soon afterwards his father took charge of the Ameri­ can Chapel in Paris, and in 1860 McClintock resigned his position at Columbia to go abroad.

Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

The above cannon we are confident were never intended for such a purpose; on the contrary, they belonged to sundry private Gentlemen, who had them -removed there for safety. Two companies of regulars are just arrived, viz: Capt. John Fleming's from Henrico, and Capt. Robert Ballard's from Mecklenburg. We hear from Norfolk, that Capt. Matthews, of the Norfolk minute-men, Mr. William Robinson and Mr. John Hancock, have been taken prisoners by Lord Dunmore, but for what we cannot learn. A large sloop from St. Eustatia, mounting 16 six pounders and a number of swivels, is said to be gone up the bay with a large quantity of gunpowder.

  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • Ancestry of George W. Bush Compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner
    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html. The first site will be updated first and more frequently, while the second site will be more stable. William Addams Reitwiesner [email protected] Ancestry of George W. Bush George Walker Bush, b.
