Acknowledgements The only thing greater than the many obligations I incurred during the research and writing of this work is the pleasure that I take in acknowledging those debts. It would have been impossible for me to undertake, much less complete, this project without the support of the institutions and people who helped me along the way. Archival research is the sine qua non of history; mine was funded by numerous grants supporting work in repositories from California to Massachusetts. A Friends Fellowship from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies supported my first year of research in the Philadelphia archives and also immersed me in the intellectual ferment and camaraderie for which the Center is justly renowned. A Dissertation Fellowship from the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History provided months of support to work in the daunting Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library. The Chandis Securities Fellowship from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens brought me to San Marino and gave me entrée to an unequaled library of primary and secondary sources, in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

  • Genealogical History of the Cam Family of Huntington (Now Shelton), Fairfield County, Connecticut and Their Properties
    Genealogical History of the Cam Family of Huntington (now Shelton), Fairfield County, Connecticut and their Properties Report Written by & Census Research by James Gage Deed, Town Records, Church Records and Cemetery Research by Teresa Gallagher Final Draft 6/19/2016 © 2016 Introduction This report was made possible by the extensive research done by Teresa Gallagher, Natural Resource Manager for the City of Shelton. Teresa traced the ownership of a number of properties owned by various members of the Cam family, and found vital records (birth, marriage, & death) for the family in city and church records. Her knowledge of local history, geographical landmarks, and experience with deed and survey research was invaluable in finding these old parcels of land. The research for this report was a collaborative effort. This report incorporates various ideas, inferences, and connections contributed by both researchers. The earliest documented members of the Cam family were Noah and George, likely brothers, who were both free African-Americans. Both bought property in Huntington and raised families. Given George’s African-American roots, it was a surprise to find a historic period Native American stone structure ceremonial site within the core of his homestead (i.e. small “one-man” farm). How does one resolve this apparent contradiction? There are two potential explanations: (1) The Cam family intermarried with the Native Americans and built the site themselves; (2) The Cam family had ties to Native American community and allowed them to use the property for their ceremonies. In order to address these possibilities, we needed to reconstruct the extended Cam family in Huntington.

  • Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library
    Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library Compiled by Jeannie Sherman, Reference Librarian, History & Genealogy Unit, Connecticut State Library, 2016 Introduction Many people visit the Connecticut State Library to research their family history. We hold one of the best genealogy collections in Connecticut including our indexes to pre-1850 vital records, cemetery inscriptions, church & family bible records, marriage & death notices, and probate estate papers. Though these indexes are state-wide by surname, we also hold records for each town. As any person who attempts to do genealogy research in Connecticut discovers, knowing what town a family lived in is very important. Connecticut currently has one hundred and sixty-nine towns each with their own vital, land, and probate district chronology. As towns in Connecticut were created, most were set off from a parent town. County boundaries also changed throughout Connecticut's history, so knowing a parent town or knowing in which county a town was located over time can help researchers search for court and other records. The purpose of these Town Guides is to have in one place basic information about each town. This includes the year it was established, the parent town, historical county information, vital and church record information, a probate district chronology, and a list of cemeteries that were inventoried in the Hale Collection. For town vital records and church records, both the Connecticut State Library (CSL) microfilm number and the Latter-Day Saint (LDS) microfilm number are given where applicable. Researchers are encouraged to search by film number within the LDS catalog as many vital records can be found online.

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.

Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] They hoped, thereby, to fund the Contras in Nicaragua while at the same time negotiating the release of several U.S. hostages. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress. The scandal began as an operation to free seven American hostages being held in Lebanon by Hezbollah, a paramilitary Reagan meets with (left to right) group with Iranian ties connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
