  • Nominees and Bios
    Nominees for the Virginia Emancipation Memorial Pre‐Emancipation Period 1. Emanuel Driggus, fl. 1645–1685 Northampton Co. Enslaved man who secured his freedom and that of his family members Derived from DVB entry: http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/dvb/bio.asp?b=Driggus_Emanuel Emanuel Driggus (fl. 1645–1685), an enslaved man who secured freedom for himself and several members of his family exemplified the possibilities and the limitations that free blacks encountered in seventeenth‐century Virginia. His name appears in the records of Northampton County between 1645 and 1685. He might have been the Emanuel mentioned in 1640 as a runaway. The date and place of his birth are not known, nor are the date and circumstances of his arrival in Virginia. His name, possibly a corruption of a Portuguese surname occasionally spelled Rodriggus or Roddriggues, suggests that he was either from Africa (perhaps Angola) or from one of the Caribbean islands served by Portuguese slave traders. His first name was also sometimes spelled Manuell. Driggus's Iberian name and the aptitude that he displayed maneuvering within the Virginia legal system suggest that he grew up in the ebb and flow of people, goods, and cultures around the Atlantic littoral and that he learned to navigate to his own advantage. 2. James Lafayette, ca. 1748–1830 New Kent County Revolutionary War spy emancipated by the House of Delegates Derived from DVB/ EV entry: http://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Lafayette_James_ca_1748‐1830 James Lafayette was a spy during the American Revolution (1775–1783). Born a slave about 1748, he was a body servant for his owner, William Armistead, of New Kent County, in the spring of 1781.

  • Per House by Name As Well As by Accomplishment. Such, However, Is 1840 to 1851, His Length of Service Being Unsurpassed by A
    DANIEL STURGEON, A STUDY IN OBSCURITY GEORGE ROADMAN1 nrfjxB Constitution of the United States has provided for only two JL senators from each state, a factor which ought to attract more than the average amount of public attention for those who have made the grade. A state as large and politically important as Pennsylvania should be able, by virtue of this fact alone, to list its representatives in the up- per house by name as well as by accomplishment. Such, however, is not the case, for in the long listof senators who served inthe nineteenth century, few attained any degree of national prominence and then only as a President, political boss, or member of a Presidential cabinet. The reasons for the well-known and lamentable obscurity of Penn- sylvania senators are many and varied, and are quite often explainable only as a result of rather complete studies of the lives of those involved. One of these unknowns, Daniel Sturgeon of Uniontown, is worth con- sidering because he combined the factors of long service in state and national public life with an almost total obscurity as far as the pages of history are concerned. 2 From 1818 to 1858, Sturgeon pursued a politi- cal career that began with his election to the state house of representa- tives, took him to the state senate in 1826, made him speaker of the senate in 1828, saw him appointed auditor general under Governor George Wolf in 1830, elected him state treasurer in 1836, and finally carried him into the United States Senate where he remained from 1840 to 1851, his length of service being unsurpassed by a Pennsylva- nian until Don Cameron's twenty years of service from 1877 to 1897.

    SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA BY EDWARD J. PRICE, JR. 7HE Pennsylvania Abolition Act of 1780 provided for the gradual Xabolition of slavery as well as the elimination of discriminatory laws, but it did not provide the black citizens of the commonwealth with equality. The general acceptance by whites of the concept of black inferiority and the fear of racial amalgamation or misce- genation led to segregation and discrimination in the social, political, and economic spheres of life. Blacks did not quietly accept these conditions. ' They labored to improve their status by es- tablishing various self-help organizations. Many considered educa- tional activities to. be the most important part of the self-help program since they saw education as a panacea for the problems facing the race. Blacks have traditionally viewed education as a means of im- proving their condition in society. Their great faith in education was manifested in various ways. Leading black men established schools, formed literary societies, and urged others to take advantage of these institutions. Even though groups of philanthropic whites such as the Quakers established schools for the basic education of blacks, groups such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church also founded schools. Members of the black intelligentsia joined together to form literary societies which provided libraries and a forum for the ex- change of ideas on topics of interest. During the ante-bellum period nine of these organizations were established in Philadelphia, and the black community in Pittsburgh supported two literary societies. Furthermore, state and national conventions of black men, which were held frequently prior to 1860, urged black people to improve The author received his Ph.D.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

  • Monuments in St Michael's Churchyard
    Preface On Monday 29th April 2002 it was proposed at a meeting of the committee of Atworth History Group that it would be of benefit to the community if a map of the memorials in St. Michael’s Churchyard could be drawn, and the inscriptions recorded. As a consequence of this decision, David Tomkiss undertook the making of the map with Kath Harley as scribe. The work was carried out between the months of October 2002 and July 2003. Most of the memorials listed here were visited more than twice in order to attain as much accuracy as possible. In several cases, the top layer of stone had disintegrated, and the researchers spent countless hours on their hands and knees searching the churchyard grasses for fragments. These were then painstakingly fitted back together again for recording. One inscription was unearthed from beneath a huge anthill. It was discovered that the time of day, the weather, and the time of the year, made a great deal of difference as to how much of an ancient tomb’s writing could be successfully deciphered. A torch, a watering can and a long black tube were found to be indispensable! Grateful thanks are extended to Joan Cocozza, genealogist, for her enthusiastic encouragement, research and confirmation of many of the dates on the older tombs. ““Learning from the past, in order to work in the present for the benefit of the future.” N L 150 - 187 51 - 149 1 - 50 St. Michael’s Church 210 - 249 188 - 209 290 - 318 319 - 438 290- 318 250 - 289 Alphabetical Order of Known Memorials in The Church of St.
