BARO::J-HILL, in me lsle of .AJ."\/GLEFEY, the Seat ofLordViscount BULKELEY. (Let all read this Preface before examining the work.] PREFACE. AnouT four years since, Mr. Joseph E. Bulkeley, of New York, who has a country seat in Rocky Hill, engaged the publisher to prepare a full and complete genealogy of the Bulkeley family in America, descended from the Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of Concord, Mass., who arrived in New England in 1634 or l 635. Most of the four intervening years have been faithfully devoted to this work. No pains hf1,ve been spared to make out a correct list of all the descendants. The usual difficulties attending such an enter­ prise have been fully experienced. More than one thousand letters have been written to different members of the family. Two differ­ ent circulars have also been sent to all whose residence has been known. The writer has.also visited the offices of town clerks and clerks of probate, and examined church and parish records, searched burial-grounds, visited numerous families, and made as thorough investigation as practicable to include all of the race in the country. In order to gain all of historical interest that could be gathered, many days have been spent in the largest libraries of New York, Boston, New Haven, Hartford, and Worcester, the superintendents of which have afforded every facility in their power. The task of collecting materials for this memorial has of course been laborious beyond what any one can realize who has not been engaged in similar labors. In multitudes of instances, no response has been given to letters repeatedly sent to individuals requesting dates and other important facts, which could be gathered from no other source. In some cases we have been obliged to address letters to professional men in the vicinity of the delinquents and offer them a compensation for gathering the needed information for us. The chirography of PREFACE. those who have returned answers, in cases not infrequent, has been such as was impossible to decipher, obliging us to write a second time, requesting an explanation. Many families have kept no record, but have forwarded lists from memory, and different mem­ bers of the same family have often disagreed in the dates fur­ nished. The history of the earlier generations has been made as complete as could be by a diligent search of public records, which are the principal sources of information respecting the earlier families; but all the facts sought were not recorrled. Records in some instances have been lost; in others the desired items of infor­ mation are omitted, and such records often disagree. In all such cases the writer has selected such names and dates as seemed sanctioned by the highest authority. The later generations have been collected mainly by examining family records and by cor­ respondence with members of the various families now living. Great perplexity has been. experienced from the fact that, until quite recently, there has been during the last hundred years un­ warrantable neglect to register on public records the births, mar­ riages, and deaths which have occurred in the various towns and parishes. These explanations are given, that those persons who do not find the account of their families as perfect as they expected, may understand that all reasonable effort has been expended to secure completeness and accuracy. The compiler has carefully examined all. the records within his reach and the various manu­ scripts furnished him, and has diligently sought information from all available sources. It has been his constant aim to furnish a reliable record and history of the family in its numerous branches. For the errors of recorders and correspondents he cannot be held responsible. Manifest errors in the spelling of names have been corrected according to his best judgment, while some peculiarities in the earlier· generations have been purposely retained. It is hardly possible in a work of this kind to avoid mistakes in deci­ phering and transcribing so many thousand names and dates, many of which are found in records and manuscripts scarcely legible. It is exceedingly difficult to avoid all errors in printing a volume containing so many dates and figures, even where the copy is com­ plete. Although the sheets, as they have come from the press, have heen carefully read before the last impression by some half dozen different individuals, some errors have escaped the notice of the compiler and his assistant proof-readers. It is to be regretted that a few families have been so separated PRKFACE. V from their relatives that no trace of them and their descendants have been found. Still, with few exceptions, we think a full and accurate record has been given. The thanks of the compiler are due to those members of the family who have aitfod him in his researches. Ile is under especial obligations to Mr. ,Joseph E. Bulkeley for records and historical . matter relating to the family, collected by him in this country and in England, previous to his engagement with the author; to Mr. James H. Bulkeley, of Philadelphia, for the family records of de­ scendants in Pennsylvania; to Miss Anna L. North, Cheektowaga, N. Y., for assistance in tracing the descendants of Prescott and Lois Williams Bulkeley; to Mrs. M. S. Converse of Elmira., N. Y., for records of Benjamin, Brownell, and Francis Bulkeley; to Dr. Edward Bulkeley, of New Haven, for valuable statistics relating to the descendants of Edward and Diana Bunce Bulkeley; and es­ pecially to Miss Eliza Ann Bulkeley, of Southport, for aid in col­ Iecti.µg the descendants of Thomas and Peter Bulkeley, sons of Rev. Peter Bulkeley, of Concord, and without whose assistance their records would unavoidably have been very incomplete; and to numerous other persons not connected with the family for the assistance they have rendered him in his investigations. .As the work will probably fall into the hands of some not ex­ tensively versed in genealogies, the author has endeavored to make it as free from intricacies as possible. The descendants of each child of the first settler who married and had offspring are distinctly traced hy themselves, according to their generations, and are all numbered from the beginning. The marginal numbers give each descendant his place in the order of descent, while the head numbers in the middle of the page, corresponding to those in the margin, give the marriages of such as have entered the family rela­ tion, and as far as possible the names of their partners, with the dates of their marriage and decease. A full index of the baptismal names of those whose surname is Bulkeley is furnished, the number of the individual being opposite to the Christian name on the left and the <late of birth on the right; ·, also an index of the descendants of other names than those of \_Bulkeley, with numbers and dates to correspond; and a list of those who have married into the Bulkeley family, with the number of their respective partners on the left and date of marriage on the rcght. In conclusion, the volume is sent forth in the hope that it will PREFACE, be acceptable to the numerous living members of the family, and that it may stimulate the present and future generations to emulate the piety, the love of civil and religious liberty, and that devotion to the common welfare which characterized the early settlers of New England. - FREDERICK W.

    America’s Pastime: How Baseball Went from Hoboken to the World Series An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Kimberly Parkhurst Thesis Advisor Dr. Bruce Geelhoed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2020 Expected Date of Graduation July 2020 Abstract Baseball is known as “America’s Pastime.” Any sports aficionado can spout off facts about the National or American League based on who they support. It is much more difficult to talk about the early days of baseball. Baseball is one of the oldest sports in America, and the 1800s were especially crucial in creating and developing modern baseball. This paper looks at the first sixty years of baseball history, focusing especially on how the World Series came about in 1903 and was set as an annual event by 1905. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Carlos Rodriguez, a good personal friend, for loaning me his copy of Ken Burns’ Baseball documentary, which got me interested in this early period of baseball history. I would like to thank Dr. Bruce Geelhoed for being my advisor in this process. His work, enthusiasm, and advice has been helpful throughout this entire process. I would also like to thank Dr. Geri Strecker for providing me a strong list of sources that served as a starting point for my research. Her knowledge and guidance were immeasurably helpful. I would next like to thank my friends for encouraging the work I do and supporting me. They listen when I share things that excite me about the topic and encourage me to work better. Finally, I would like to thank my family for pushing me to do my best in everything I do, whether academic or extracurricular.

  • Brindley Archer Aug 2011
    William de Brundeley, his brother Hugh de Brundeley and their grandfather John de Brundeley I first discovered William and Hugh (Huchen) Brindley in a book, The Visitation of Cheshire, 1580.1 The visitations contained a collection of pedigrees of families with the right to bear arms. This book detailed the Brindley family back to John Brindley who was born c. 1320, I wanted to find out more! Fortunately, I worked alongside Allan Harley who was from a later Medieval re-enactment group, the ‘Beaufort companye’.2 I asked if his researchers had come across any Brundeley or Brundeleghs, (Medieval, Brindley). He was able to tell me of the soldier database and how he had come across William and Hugh (Huchen) Brundeley, archers. I wondered how I could find out more about these men. The database gave many clues including who their captain was, their commander, the year of service, the type of service and in which country they were campaigning. First Captain Nature of De Surname Rank Commander Year Reference Name Name Activity Buckingham, Calveley, Thomas of 1380- Exped TNA William de Brundeley Archer Hugh, Sir Woodstock, 1381 France E101/39/9 earl of Buckingham, Calveley, Thomas of 1380- Exped TNA Huchen de Brundeley Archer Hugh, Sir Woodstock, 1381 France E101/39/9 earl of According to the medieval soldier database (above), the brothers went to France in 1380-1381 with their Captain, Sir Hugh Calveley as part of the army led by the earl of Buckingham. We can speculate that William and Hugh would have had great respect for Sir Hugh, as he had been described as, ‘a giant of a man, with projecting cheek bones, a receding hair line, red hair and long teeth’.3 It appears that he was a larger than life character and garnered much hyperbole such as having a large appetite, eating as much as four men and drinking as much as ten.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • 15/0275N Land Off Mill Lane, Bulkeley, Cheshire, SY14
    Application No: 15/0275N Location: Land off Mill Lane, Bulkeley, Cheshire, SY14 8BL Proposal: Full application to erect 14 dwellings on land off Mill Lane, Bulkeley Applicant: M Schofield Expiry Date: 28-Apr-2015 CONCLUSION: It is acknowledged that the Council is unable to robustly demonstrate a five-year housing land supply and that, accordingly, in the light of the advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework, it should favourably consider suitable planning applications for housing that can demonstrate that they meet the definition of sustainable development. There is an environmental impact in the locality due to the loss of open countryside and agricultural land. There would also be an adverse impact on the landscape, and protected trees. The site is also unsustainably located. The proposal would satisfy the economic and social sustainability roles by providing for much needed housing adjoining an existing settlement. The proposal would provide policy compliant levels of affordable housing, contributions to education and would be acceptable in ecology terms. Subject to conditions, the proposal is considered to be acceptable in terms of amenity, flood risk, highway safety, drainage and design. However, these do not outweigh the concerns outlined above and it is therefore considered to be unsustainable development and accordingly is recommended for refusal. RECOMMENDATION: REFUSE PROPOSAL: The application seeks full planning permission to erect 14 dwellings on land off Mill Lane, Bulkeley SITE DESCRIPTION: The site of the proposed development extends to 0.73 ha and is located to the western side of Mill Lane, Bulkeley. The site is within the Open Countryside and Area of Special County Value.
