COPYRIGHT, 1897, BY JAMES HILL FITTS, NEWFIELDS, N, H, \ , ,_ l ( \. -· PREFACE. " HE compiler has sought diligently all available sources of T information. Genealogies of related families and the inval­ uable collections of the New England :t{istoric Genealogical Society have afforded many items. The town records and published his­ tories of Abington, Attleboro, Dorchester, Hingham and Norton, Mass., of Newport, Swanzey and Walpole, N. H., of Killingworth, Middletown, Stratford, Wallingford and \Volcott, Conn., have been carefully examined. Records of the Probate of Wills and the Registry of Deeds for Plymouth and Suffolk Counties, Mass., of Cheshire and Sullivan Counties, N. H., and of Fairfield, Middlesex and New Haven Counties, Conn., have been reliable sources of material. The Rev. James Pillsbury Lane, of Massachusetts, studied for a period of twenty years the general history of the Lane. families of New England. He published "Ancestry of Dea. Joshua Lane of Hampton, N. H ." in 1885 ; " Lane Families of the Massachusetts Bay Colony" in 1886; "James Lane of North Yarmouth, Me., and His Descendants" in 1888. It was Mr. Lane's ambition to publish a complete genealogy of the several New England families. His work, incomplete at his death in 1889, was too valuable to be lost. His manuscripts have been carefully verified in nearly all particulars. The Hon. Ebenezer Lane of Ohio spent much time in looking up the family of \\?illiam Lane of Dorchester, Mass. He visited England in 185 9 and 1860, where he discovered an old home of the Lane family in the central part of Norfolkshire. There he saw monuments in the church and tombstones in the churchyard with the name Lane upon them. He went into Lane Hall where the family resided. It was then owned by Mr. Lewis, who had married the Lane heiress and was living in Rome to educate their children. Mr. Lane's "Imperfect List of Descendants, etc.," was an early attempt to publish a family history. iv PHEFACE. Charles Benjamin "\\'est Lane, Esq., deposited a manusc·;;,' sketch of the Lane family of Hingham, Mass., with the New Fnc· land Historic Genealogical Society, Boston. His son, Mr. Cha;lb Andrew Lane, visited Hingham, England, in the summer of 1 6 Ji , and saw Lane monuments in the churchyard there. Mrs. Mary Avis (Hodges) Lane, secretary of the annual Line Gathering at Norton, l\fass., has been untiring in collecting m.1tt'­ rials relating to the families in that vicinity .. l\1rs. Mary Dwi,:.-ht (Lane) Gilbert has been very prompt in forwarJing items of farnil.\· history. Elisha Frederick Lane, Esq., of New Hampshire b, contributed gleanings for the families in the vicinity of Swame:-·. N.H. The history of Robert Lane of Stratford, Conn., and his de­ scendants has been enthusiastically pursued by Theodore Frelint­ huysen Lane and John Nelson Lane, Esqs., of Connecticut. Mr. Abner Lane of Connecticut secured a careful list of the Killin;.:­ worth Lanes from the town records about 1860. Dea. Chari., Lane of Ohio has furnished accurate lists of a score of Ohio fain­ ilies connected with the branch. Bela Chapin, A. M., of Ne:~ Hampshire has added to other literary work this labor of love, tn look up his Lane ancestry and print appreciative sketches of tl-;c families in Newport, N. H. The late David Williams Patterson, Esq., of New York, left a manuscript history of Robert Lane an·l his descendants, 166,:;-1862, too rnluable to be Jost. Grem·ille Howla~d Norcross, Esq., of Massachusetts, furnishd almost entirely the sketch of his ancestor, John Merrifielu Lane < f Boston, Mass. Rev. John William Lane has extended his helpful interest bt yond his particular clan. Many other persons have given accounts of their several fami lies. This volume could not have been prepared without sue), cordial assistance. It has been a labor of love for the li,·ing, oi reverence for the departed, of help and of hope for the cominr generations.

  • Haviland-Historical
    *Shall Woman's Voice Be Hushed?": Laura Smith Uavita;1ffi Women's "O,ionist by Tiya Miles In September of 201'0, residents of southeastern Michign gathered at the Lenawee County Historical Museum for a lecture on locally renowned Underground Railroad "conductor" Laura Smith Haviland. The next weekend at a nearby annual art festival, Haviland was a focal point in a dramattc, if exaggerated, historical performance in which she was portrayed as freeing thousands of slaves and facing off a pack of h*gty wolves while en route to Canadal A commissioned poruait of Haviland-eldedy, wise, and gracefirlly holding a bouquet 6f 165ss- hangs in the Michigan W'omen's Historical Center and Hall of Fame in Lansing.2 In the state of Michigan, LawraHaviand is a heroic chatacter subject to the excesses of legend. In the historical literatute on antislavery womeq however, Haviland has been largely ovedooked. In this aricle,I explore Laura Haviland's activism in relation to the historiography of abolitionist women. I consider feasons Haviland failed to become a person of interest in the literature until very recendy' everl as the scholady scope widened in the 1990s and eady 2000s to include women who had been marginalized from the dominant narcattve of antislavery politics. Additionally, this work suggests th^t an examination of Haviland's actions and social networks illuminates the regional particularity of Midwesteffl women's antislavery culture as well as the ftansnational charactet of Great Lakes abolitionism' 1 Haviland's life was also reenacted in a "Historical Dalf' at the Adrian woman's Club in 1948.

  • The Therapeutic Community As an Adaptable Treatment Modality Across Different Settings
    P1: KEG Psychiatric Quarterly [psaq] ph259-psaq-482367 June 3, 2004 10:30 Style file version June 4th, 2002 Psychiatric Quarterly, Vol. 75, No. 3, Fall 2004 (C 2004) THE THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY AS AN ADAPTABLE TREATMENT MODALITY ACROSS DIFFERENT SETTINGS David Kennard Simple core statements of the therapeutic community as a treatment modal- ity are given, including a “living-learning situation” and “culture of enquiry.” Applications are described in work with children and adolescents, chronic and acute psychoses, offenders, and learning disabilities. In each area the evolu- tion of different therapeutic community models is outlined. In work with young people the work of Homer Lane and David Wills is highlighted. For long term psychosis services, the early influence of “moral treatment” is linked to the revitalisation of asylums and the creation of community based facilities; acute psychosis services have been have been run as therapeutic communities in both hospital wards and as alternatives to hospitalisation. Applications in prison are illustrated through an account of Grendon prison. The paper also outlines the geographical spread of therapeutic communities across many countries.

  • Laura Haviland and Frances Willard Serving Their “Present Age” in Two Strands of Nineteenth-Century Methodism
    Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies August 2007 Kristina LaCelle-Peterson “Our Calling to Fulfill”: Laura Haviland and Frances Willard Serving their “Present Age” in Two Strands of Nineteenth-Century Methodism Frances Willard was a women’s college president while Laura Smith Haviland taught school to African Americans in the basement of churches. Willard fought for justice in the courts while Haviland labored in the trenches (almost literally). Willard agitated for the just treatment of women through channels of respectability while Haviland worked in dangerous and poverty-stricken areas for the very lives of ex-slaves. Out of love for God and a desire to see justice done, these two nineteenth-century Methodist women poured out their lives their “calling to fulfill.” How, we might ask, did they conceive of their calling? How did they justify their efforts for social justice to their conservative audiences and get others to embrace the call? Willard, as educator and leader of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and Laura Haviland, as reformer and activist, resembled one another in significant ways, despite their different locations on the Methodist family tree. Most importantly, they each believed that working for the betterment of others’ lives was their Christian duty, so their political agitation and practical service flowed from their own Christian commitments. Despite their own involvement in radical efforts to ameliorate poverty, illiteracy and injustice of various forms, they each managed to stay connected to the conservative Protestantism from which they came. They differed considerably in the focus of their work, however; while Willard directed her energy to improving lives of women, Haviland mainly addressed her efforts to African Americans, both men and women, first as they navigated their escape from slavery and later as they sought to build new lives for themselves.

    F foH- Of FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH » (Fifth Meeting House) * The Marvin House (see page 6) i The McCurdy House (see page 6) Hi!! !!!niFI!I!!lll lllllllllllllf illlPllllliliiilllliilllll Landmarks of OLD LYME THE BEGINNINGS OF THE TOWN LD LYME was originally part of Saybrook when the latter Owas founded in 1635. However in the years following quite a number of Saybrook settlers acquired land and established homes east of the Connecticut River; amongst them were the Lay, Noyes, Champion, Griswold, Marvin, DeWolf, Lord and Ely families. On February 13, 1665, at a ceremony known as "The Loving Parting," the friendly separation of Saybrook and Lyme took place, and Lyme became an independent "plantation"; two years later, on May 9, 1667, a decree of the General Court at Hartford authorized the change of name to that of Lyme. There is a tra­ dition that Lyme was named after Lyme Regis in Dorset, Eng­ land, based on an unconfirmed legend that the Griswolds and/or the Sills came from that town. Others believe that the fact that the Lees of Lyme came from Lyme, Cheshire, England, may have had something to do with this town being so named. Lyme originally comprised an area of 80 square miles. In 1835 the eastern section became an independent town known as East Lyme; and in 1855 the south-west portion withdrew and became legally Old Lyme. In connection with setting the boundaries of Lyme, the story runs that there was much controversy about a strip of land be­ tween Bride Brook and the Niantic Rive*, also claimed by New London.

  • Summerhill Is the Most Unusual School in the World. Here's a Place Where
    Summerhill is the most unusual school in the world. Here’s a place where children are not compelled to go to class – they can stay away from lessons for years, if they want to. Yet, strangely enough, the boys and girls in this school LEARN! In fact, being deprived of lessons turns out to be a severe punishment. Summerhill has been run by A. S . Neill for almost forty years. This is the world’s greatest experiment in bestowing unstinted love and approval on children. This is the place, where one courageous man, backed by courageous parents, has had the fortitude to actually apply – without reservation – the principles of freedom and non- repression. The school runs under a true children’s government where the “bosses” are the children themselves. Despite the common belief that such an atmosphere would create a gang of unbridled brats, visitors to Summerhill are struck by the self-imposed discipline of the pupils, by their joyousness, the good manners. These kids exhibit a warmth and lack of suspicion toward adults, which is the wonder, and delight of even official British school investigators. In this book A. S. Neill candidly expresses his unique - and radical – opinions on the important aspects of parenthood and child rearing. These strong commendations of authors and educators attest that every parent who reads this book will find in it many examples of how Neill’s philosophy may be applied to daily life situations. Educators will find Neill’s refreshing viewpoints practical and inspiring. Reading this book is an exceptionally gratifying experience, for it puts into words the deepest feelings of all who care about children, and wish to help them lead happy, fruitful lives.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    TALK AT NY OPEN CENTER Three days after getting back from the trip to the Alternative Education Conference in Boulder, I was scheduled to speak at the New York Open Center, in New York City. This was set up at the suggestion of Center Director Ralph White, who had heard about my teacher education conferences in Russia, and wanted to share information about a new center they are setting up there. Although there were not many pre-registered, I was surprised to find an overflow audience at the Center, with great interest in educational alternatives. People who attended that presentation continue to contact us almost daily. The Open Center is a non-profit Holistic Learning Center, featuring a wide variety of presentations and workshops. 83 Spring St., NY, NY 10012. 212 219-2527. FERNANDEZ, MEIER, AND RILEY AT EWA MEETING At the Education Writers Conference in Boston, I got to meet the Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley. After he talking about the possibility of new national standards, a quasi-national curriculum, I told him that there were hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers and thousands of alternative schools that did not want a curriculum imposed on them. I asked him how he would approach that fact. He responded that "When we establish these standards they will uplift us all." I did not find that reply comforting. On the other hand, I am pleased that Madelin Kunin, former governor of Vermont, is the new Deputy Secretary of Education. She once spoke at the graduation of Shaker Mountain School when I was Headmaster, and is quite familiar with educational alternatives.
