[email protected] Revised August 29, 2013 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 NGSQ volume. Each volume is preceded by the volume number and year in boldface. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 19, will illustrate the format used: 19 (1931):20-24, 40-43, 48, 72-76, 110-111 (Cont. from 18:92, cont. to 20:17) Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Applications Jessie McCausland (Mrs. A. Y.) Casanova The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the NGSQ 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. The second line shows the title of the article. The third line lists the author. I have listed only articles with genealogical or historical content of interest to the genealogical researcher. I have not included articles and series such as "Book Reviews" and Society news. In most volumes I have collected short items under two headings - "Family Bible Records / Family Records" and "Notes." This file currently covers the first eighty-five volumes of NGSQ, and will be revised as I add additional volumes. Progress from here on out will be slow, as I will need to consult volumes in print at the local library. Please address comments and corrections to the author at the email address given above.

Becoming Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs Bernadette Flynn Low, PhD The Frick Family and Victorian Era Values Mary Sloan Frick was born in 1851 and grew up in a privileged position as one of the prominent Frick family of Baltimore. Mary’s father, William Frederick Frick, descended from John Frick, an immigrant from Holland who helped establish Germantown, Pennsylvania. John’s son, Peter Frick, settled in Baltimore, where his own son, William Frick, became an esteemed judge and community leader. William had several children, including William Frederick, Mary’s father. Like his father, William Frederick studied law and graduated from Harvard Law School. Returning to Baltimore, he became one of the first four members of the Baltimore Bar. Mary, appreciative of her heritage, also traced the ancestry of her mother, Ann Elizabeth Swan, to Sir George Yeardley, the first governor of Virginia, and General John Swan, a Scottish immigrant who served in the Revolutionary War and was promoted by General George Washington. After the war, Swan was honored with a Mary Frick Garrett Jacobs. parcel of land by a grateful nation. There he built an estate near Catonsville, Maryland, that would later be named Uplands.

Mazza, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation examines the citational use of the Judeo-Christian Bible in two sociopolitical debates within the United States: first, the debate over the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century, and second, the contemporary debate over gay rights. This study incorporates two core theses. First, I argue that the contemporary religious right, in its anti-gay use of the Bible, is replicating the hermeneutical practices used by opponents of the abolitionist movement. My second thesis parallels the first: I argue that the contemporary activists who reclaim the Bible as a pro-gay instrument are standing in the same hermeneutical tradition as nineteenth-century Christian abolitionists.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J
    Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J. Podber, Ph.D. Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract This project looks at Internet usage within the Melungeon community of Appalachia. Although much has been written on the coal mining communities of Appalachia and on ethnicity within the region, there has been little written on electronic media usage by Appalachian communities, most notably the Melun- geons. The Melungeons are a group who settled in the Appalachian Mountains as early as 1492, of apparent Mediterranean descent. Considered by some to be tri-racial isolates, to a certain extent, Melungeons have been culturally constructed, and largely self-identified. According to the founder of a popular Me- lungeon Web site, the Internet has proven an effective tool in uncovering some of the mysteries and folklore surrounding the Melungeon community. This Web site receives more than 21,000 hits a month from Melungeons or others interested in the group. The Melungeon community, triggered by recent books, films, and video documentaries, has begun to use the Internet to trace their genealogy. Through the use of oral history interviews, this study examines how Melungeons in Appalachia use the Internet to connect to others within their community and to the world at large. Keywords : Internet, media, digital divide, Appalachia, rural, oral history, ethnography, sociology, com- munity Introduction In Rod Carveth and Susan Kretchmer’s paper “The Digital Divide in Western Europe,” (presented at the 2002 International Summer Conference on Communication and Technology) the authors examined how age, income and gender were predictors of the digital divide in Western Europe.

Euro- peans, crowded in by their seeming lack of space and by a rigid social order, looked with longing across the ocean where space and opportunity abounded. Time and again, men critical of their own society hoped by migration to find the scope for working out their visions of a better order. Yet, in the actual coming, as likely as not, they en- countered the standing quandary of the revolutionary. They had themselves been rebels in order to put into prac- tice their ideas of a new society. But to do so they had to restrain the rebellion of others.

  • Creating Real and Virtual Communities Among the Melungeons of Appalachia by Jacob J
    127 Jacob J. Podber Creating Real and Virtual Communities Among the Melungeons of Appalachia by Jacob J. Podber While the growth of the American “Sunbelt South” has become somewhat of a symbol of United States economic progress, Appalachia is often overlooked. As R. Eller writes in Confronting Appalachian Stereotypes (1999), “Always part of the mythical South, Appalachia continues to languish backstage in the American drama, still dressed, in the popular mind at least, in the garments of backwardness, violence, poverty and hopelessness once associated with the South as a whole. No other region of the United States today plays the role of the ‘other America’ quite so persistently as Appalachia” (p. ix). This article examines how the inception of the Internet into this region of the country has altered people’s lives. Oral history interviews illuminate ways that the Melungeon community, a tri-racial group in rural Appalachia that historically has been perceived as “other,” has begun to use the Internet to define itself, as well as reach out beyond its geographical borders to form an electronic virtual community. The interviews raise the question, does this redefining of Melungeon identity mean that they have actually recreated a larger, electronically—rather than geographically—defined Melungeon community? In the 1960s, Marshall McLuhan predicted that we were at the dawn of a new era of global communications where electronic technology would bring mankind into a “seamless web of kinship and interdependence” (McLuhan, 1964, p. 50). In the 1990s, the rapid expansion of the Internet seemed to suggest that this vision had already been realized.

ByV I a y of Introduction WHILE I w as living in the home of that sturdy Puritan governor, William Leete, — my native town of Guil ford, — the idea suggested itself to me that inasmuch as a collection of the biographies of the chief executives of Connecticut had never been made, the work would afford an interesting and agreeable undertaking. This was in the year 1895. 1 began the task, but before it had far progressed it offered what seemed to me insurmountable obstacles, so that for a time the collection of data concerning the early rulers of the state was entirely abandoned. A few years later the work was again resumed and carried to completion. The manuscript was requested by a magazine editor for publication and appeared serially in " The Connecticut Magazine." To R ev. Samuel Hart, D.D., president of the Connecticut Historical Society, I express my gratitude for his assistance in deciding some matters which were subject to controversy.
