  • Public Archaeology and the Northampton Slave Quarters
    © COPYRIGHT by Kristin Marie Montaperto 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION To my family PUBLIC ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE NORTHAMPTON SLAVE QUARTERS: COMMUNITY COLLABORATION BY Kristin Marie Montaperto ABSTRACT The public has many different views and misconceptions about archaeology. Archaeologists practicing within the subfields of public and community archaeology work towards erasing these misconceptions by conducting collaborative research with descendant populations and community groups. However, this collaborative approach is not at the forefront of all archaeologists’ agendas. For some archaeology projects in the United States, the pressures of completing a project on time and within budget becomes the primary focus. It is the importance of collaborative research and community engagement that form the basis of my dissertation. Using the Northampton Slave Quarters and Archaeological Park in Mitchellville, Maryland, I demonstrate the importance of collaborative research. The slave quarters of the Northampton plantation are located on a preserved half-acre parcel of land within a townhouse community in Lake Arbor. The African American descendants of those who lived and worked at Northampton have been active participants of the project since the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission’s (M-NCPPC) Archaeology Program began in 1988. The M-NCPPC Archaeology Program not only collaborated with ii the African American descendants but actively engaged the surrounding communities through outreach projects. Starting with a base in community collaboration, cooperative education, and archaeological ethics, I demonstrate how these concepts are pertinent in archaeological research. Although I argue the Northampton Slave Quarters and Archaeological Park’s primary significance revolves around the active descendants, its physical location also played a major role in its creation.

  • JACOB SNIVELY FAMILY HISTORY and BENJAMIN BEAN FAMILY HISTORY
    JACOB SNIVELY FAMILY HISTORY and BENJAMIN BEAN FAMILY HISTORY Written by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer MAY 2017 Jacob Snively Family History PREFACE A table of vital statistics for the Snively family is provided at the end of this story. As subsequent census reports, marriage records, obituaries, draft registration cards, etc., provided different data, the table was revised. This is a work in progress and new information would be most welcome. The John Snavely information came from various sources in Ancestry.com. The name Snively was sometimes spelled Shuebly, Schnebly, Schnebele or Snibly. I have tried to retain the original spelling with the correction in brackets. The use of parenthesis was as in the original article, whereas I have used brackets to provide my comments or clarifications. Because so much of this family history occurred before the Civil War, I have included vignettes of some of the men who interacted with Jacob Snively. If the reader finds that distracting, just skip over those stories. Some vignettes may be hard to read, this is a history. The reader will also note the several times when Jacob Snively’s transactions included relatives. One of the men whose name kept cropping up was that on Benjamin Bean, who owned a hotel and Tavern on Main Street. The Sheriff routinely held Sheriff’s Sales at the Bean house, hotel or Tavern, as it was variously noted. Benjamin Bean was also related to Jacob Snively, by marriage. With only 271 residents in Hancock in 1820, Jacob Snively was related to many of them or had a business relationship.

  • 1900 Newspaper Reports
    COMPILATION OF CANAL TRADE ARTICLES FROM CUMBERLAND ALLEGANIAN a Cumberland, Md. newspaper and THE BALTIMORE SUN a Baltimore, Md., newspaper and TIMES and EVENING STAR two Washington, D. C., newspapers 1900 Compiled by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer [email protected] FEBRUARY 2020 Canal Trade - 1900 A. PREFACE In this compilation, all the Canal Trade articles were transcribed from the Cumberland Alleganian, a Cumberland, Md. newspaper, the Baltimore Sun, a Baltimore, Md. newspaper, the Times, a District of Columbia newspaper and the Evening Star another District of Columbia newspaper of the era. The articles were compiled, chronologically in a two-column format, much as they appeared in the newspaper. Articles from Cumberland Alleganian are preceded by CA, those from the Baltimore Sun are preceded by Sun, those from the Times are preceded by Times, and those from the Evening Star are preceded by ES. The newspapers were found on-line. There may be some duplication or overlapping of stories due to the varied sources, date of publication, and local interest. The research continues because the reader may yet find a missing date, or better yet, a missing newspaper. Readers will notice that articles from the Times newspaper tend to be very long articles. I hesitated to include them due to their length, but decided their inclusion would give some perspective of life in Washington, D. C. in 1900. Readers not interested should just skip over those articles. Readers are encouraged to search the enclosed report for information on their ancestor, as their time and interest permits. Feel free to send additional observations for the benefit of others.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

" jOR a century and a half r the term " Mason and Dixon's Line" has been a more or less familiar expres- sion, and for the greater part of the latter half of that period it was frequently on men's tongues. The lines drawn on the earth's surface by geographers or laid out by the wisdom of statecraft are often taken in too literal a sense; and so, in the course of time, it came to pass that Mason and Dixon's Line came to be regarded almost as a South. tangible barrier : the line dividing the North from the Yet, as a matter of fact, were it not for the monuments set up at stated intervals it would be impossible to tell where the jurisdiction of one commonwealth ends and that of the other begins, The mountains and valleys are continuous, the fertile fields lie side by side, there is no difference to be found in the people, and it not unfrequently happens that a farm will lie partly on one side of the line and partly on the other, and there are even houses through which the line runs, one part of the house being in Maryland and the other part in Pennsylvania.
