  • Book of the Generations of William Mcfarland and Nancy Kilgore
    The Book of the Generations of William McFarland and Nancy Kilgore 1740-1912 HISTORIAN: JOSEPH McFARLAND, M. D. GALION, OHIO EDITOR AND PUBLISHER EDWARD NORTON CANTWELL DUNDEE, ILLINOIS PRESS OF ELGIN COUllllER. ELGIN, ILL. 1875 1905 Joseph McFarland, M. D. Born August 29, 1827. Died January 5, 1913. Joseph McFarland was elected family historian and was author­ ized to compile and publish the family history at a McFarland re­ union, held in Mansfield, Ohio, about ten years ago. On account of the infirmity of age he was unable to complete the work, and gave it into the hands of the present Editor in August, 1911. Andrew McFarland, Lucas, Oh[o, Route 2, is now the oldest living member of the family. THE OLD HOUSE "An old house has an atmosphere which cannot be carried into a new house. The walls have heard voices now gone silent; the halls have echoed footfalls no longer audible; the roof has protected a rich and varied life of joy and sorrow, of work and rest, which has passed on like a river into other countries and flows on under other trees and skies. But this vanished life has left its impression on the old house, has humanized it and overlaid it with all manner of sacred associations; so that, in a very real way, the old life goes on within its walls and keeps the old house still an old home. In like manner, the generations that have done their work and gone to their rest still live in the world which has passed out of their possession into ours; so that the great human family remains unbroken and contin­ uous and the fathers still touch the sons who have come into their places.

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.

Preaching and Sermons Robert H. Ellison In the opening chapter of The Oxford Handbook of the British Sermon 1689-1901, William Gibson estimates that as many as ‘25 million unique sermon performances’ took place throughout the British empire between the end of the Glorious Revolution and the death of Queen Victoria.1 While only a fraction of these sermons were ultimately published, the corpus of available texts is massive as well: extrapolating from the data in John Gordon Spaulding’s Pulpit Publications (1996), Gibson estimates that some ‘80,000 individual…sermons’ were published during this period of time.2 Numbers like this are a mixed blessing for scholars. On the one hand, the sheer size of the canon suggests a virtually endless store of topics to pursue, and advances in digitization have made more texts readily available than ever before.

The compiler of this genealogy does not wish it to be merely a catalogue of names, she ventures in these introductory pages to give a brief account of the founders of the family, trusting that this human touch will rouse the interest and pride of their descendants. Even though it covers only seven generations it includes over four hundred direct descendants. It is interesting to note that they are found in Australia, Africa, India, the British and Channel Isles, and in many of the principal cities of the United States. Also, since the war which began in 1914, they are found in all parts of Europe, because so many of the family belong to the army.
