  • John Taylor Wood: Man of Action, Man of Honor
    The Cape Fear Civil War Round Table John Taylor Wood: Man of Action, Man of Honor By Tim Winstead History 454 December 4, 2009 On July 20, 1904, a short obituary note appeared on page seven of the New York Times. It simply stated, "Captain John Taylor Wood, grandson of President Zachary Taylor and nephew of Jefferson Davis, died in Halifax, N.S. yesterday, seventy-four years old." The note also stated that Wood served as a United States Navy midshipman, fought in the Mexican War, served as a Confederate army colonel on the staff of Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee's army, escaped the collapse of the Confederacy with General Breckinridge to Cuba, and was a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia when he passed. In one paragraph, the obituary writer prepared the outline of the life of a man who participated in many of the major events of the American Civil War. John Taylor Wood's story was much more expansive and interwoven with the people and history of the Civil War era than the one paragraph credited to him by the Times. This paper examined the events in which Wood found himself immersed and sought to determine his role in those events. The main focus of the paper was Wood's exploits during his service to the Confederate States of America. His unique relationships with the leadership of the Confederacy ensured that he was close at hand when decisions were made which affected the outcome of the South's gamble for independence. Was John Taylor Wood the Forrest Gump of his day? Was it mere chance that Wood was at Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862, at Drewry's Bluff on May 15, 1862, abroad the USS Satellite in August 1863, aboard the USS Underwriter at New Berne in February 1864, abroad the CSS Tallahassee in August 1864, or with Jefferson Davis on the "unfortunate day" in Georgia on May 10, 1865? Was it only his relationship with Jefferson Davis that saw Wood engaged in these varied events? This paper examined these questions and sought to establish that it was Wood's competence and daring that placed him at the aforementioned actions and not Jefferson Davis's nepotism.

  • The United Methodist Church Handbook
    Dear friends in Christ, Grace to you and abundant peace from God, our Creator, and the Lord Jesus Christ. The people of The United Methodist Church are part of a worldwide community with a rich Wesleyan heritage, a shared covenant and a common mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many (1 Corinthians 12:20). Our connection binds us together in faith and service beyond our individual congregations. We reach out locally and globally through more than 43,000 United Methodist congregations all over the world to help others and to share the good news of Christ’s saving grace. God in Christ loves us, and all of humanity, beyond measure. God’s grace is available to all. We have a shared calling to make that truth an everyday reality for all those who have yet to be invited to experience the healing balm and abundant life of God’s banquet table. We celebrate all that God is doing through The United Methodist Church. This handbook is filled with information about who we are, how we are structured and how we are living out our mission. I hope that as you read this book, it will be a helpful resource and you will see the strength that worldwide connectivity brings to the work of the church. Our prayer is that The United Methodist Church be a community where you find peace, meaning and a future with hope. In Christ’s extravagant grace, Bishop Bruce R.

O’Sullivan Timothy O’Sullivan 1840 – 1882 Dr. Chris Fonvielle CFCWRT member, Dr. Chris Fonvielle, will present a program based upon his recently published book about the photographic history of Fort Fisher made by T.H. O’Sullivan during February 1865. As reported in the New York Herald on February 8, 1865, Messrs. Gardner & Company, as requested by Lt. Gen. Grant, dispatched an experienced Civil War photographer to make a series of views of Fort Fisher for Grant’s report on the Wilmington expedition. The thirty-nine photographs taken by O’Sullivan have provided a detailed record of the fortifications that protected the many blockade runners that made entrance into New Inlet during 1861 – 1865. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Chris has used O’Sullivan’s photographs to paint a picture of the fort that had become known as the Gibraltar of the South. Please join us on October 13th for a program that will add to our knowledge of the local history of the Cape Fear region during the Civil War.

  • Bishop Willia.M Taylor and Methodist Mission: a Study in Nineteenth Century Social History
    Methodist History, 27:4 (July 1989) BISHOP WILLIA.M TAYLOR AND METHODIST MISSION: A STUDY IN NINETEENTH CENTURY SOCIAL HISTORY DAVID BUNDY Part I: From Campmeeting Convert to International Evangelist The figure of William Taylor (1821-1902) is a recurring feature of the historiography of mission activity under the aegis of the Methodist Episcopal Church during the last half of the nineteenth century. Taylor was involved in missionary endeavors from 1849 when he was sent to California by Bishop Beverly Waugh until his retirement in 1896. He worked on six continents and was instrumental in the establishment of Methodist churches in Panama, Belize, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Zaire, and South India. He assisted the Wesleyan Methodists in Australia, South Africa and the Caribbean. During his missionary episcopacy, the struggling Methodist mission in Liberia was strengthened and expanded. Despite his frenetic and often quite successful efforts, relations with the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church were anything but cordial. Methodist periodicals and Taylor's own publications record the continuous struggles to define and control the methods and results of missionary endeavor. Taylor and the Missionary Society viewed the con­ flict as related to missiology. It will be argued here that the conflict be­ tween Bishop William Taylor and the Methodist Missionary Society was not only a function of mission method and ecclesiological control; it was also related to the socio-religious structures ofTaylor's life and to the socio­ religious transitions within Methodism during the second half ofthe nine­ teenthcentury. Sources and Method The diaries, notebooks and collected correspondence of Bishop Taylor have not, in so far as I have been able to ascertain, survived.l Such cor­ respondence as has been preserved is scattered throughout th<fUnited States.

  • Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876
    "A people peculiarly blessed": Community, Identity and Confederate Nationalism in an Alabama Planter Family, 1819-1876. Marian Crenshaw Austin Submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies University of East Anglia June 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis explores nationalism, state identity and community through the lens of one Southern planter family. The Crenshaw family are traced from their origins in Virginia, to South Carolina and thence to Alabama Territory during the first wave of migration between 1816 and 1819. Establishing a strong kinship community upon migration, they fostered an identity with their new state which superseded that of American or Confederate identity. Employing genealogy as a research methodology to enhance the understanding of kinship networks, within the framework of a detailed analysis of the Crenshaw family’s archive, this research demonstrates how familial power dynamics created and redefined their identity as Alabamians, Southerners and Americans. Employing the framework of national vs. local identity, this project reflects on the relative importance of localism over and above national loyalty and the possibilities for localism superseding national identity prior to the Civil War and beyond. Planters, lawyers and politicians, the Crenshaws belonged to the planter elite and as such accrued significant land and wealth, including a large community of enslaved people.
