Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line.

These parishes have been selected from both the eastern and western parts of the county in the hope that thereby the interest in the work might be more widely diff used .

  • New South Wales Inquests, 1850; 24/03/08
    New South Wales Inquests, 1850; 24/03/08 SYD1850 MAITLAND MERCURY, 8/574, 02/01/1850 FATAL ACCIDENT. - On Friday an inquest was held before J.S. PARKER, Esq., coroner, on the body of Mr. JAMES MAW [MAN] , the well-known master of the Cygnet schooner, trading between Sydney and the Paterson River. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Man was attending the Raymond Terrace races on Wednesday last, having ridden over from Lemon Grove, Paterson River, with Mr. THOMAS SWAN. Mr. Swan had a mare which he entered for the first race, and rode her himself; in the course of the race she stumbled and threw Mr. Swan over her head, and he was picked up insensible, but fortunately recovered. Towards evening Mr. Man made a match between the mare and another horse, to come off on the following morning, and although he knew she was a buck-jumper, he afterwards cantered her round the course, accompanied by Mr. WILLIAM FEARLEY, of Singleton. Observing that the mare looked skittish, Mr. Fearley called to Mr. Man to keep behind his horse, but the mare apparently got the better of Mr. Man, darted past Mr. Fearley’s horse, and almost immediately after buck-jumped with great violence, throwing Mr. Man over her head; he fell on his head and rolled over twice, and on Mr. Fearley dismounting he found Mr. Man insensible, and bleeding from the nose and mouth. After supporting Mr. Man a short time, and finding he did not recover, Mr. Fearley rode into Raymond Terrace for assistance, when Dr.

SHERMAN BT THOMAS T OWNSEND SHERMAN ILLUSTRATED NEW Y ORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT PRINTER AND PUBLISHER 1 920 AUG 4 1 920 r*u 3 5?. i PREFACE J I NVESTIGATIONS in England as to the East Anglian Sher mans of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries made by the late Charles Atwood White, of New Haven, and the late Senator George Frisbie Hoar, suggested and inspired the work resulting in the compilation of the early genealogies in this volume. Begun with no intention of publication, it expanded to such extent as to seem worthy of reproduction in permanent form with the addition of the genealogies of later times. The great amount of information about some members of the family furnished by ancient English records is noteworthy and will perhaps lead to further discoveries. The absence of any com plete or satisfactory biography of Hon. Roger Sherman led to a more extended statement with regard to him than is custom ary in a genealogy. It is hoped that this will be appreciated by his numerous living descendants. Many of his descendants, those who have gone and those still living and other relatives mentioned, have attained distinction and honor in private life and public service. Errors and omissions occur in such a work in spite of every effort to be accurate and complete.

    A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY IN NORMANDY, GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, FRANCE, HOLLAND, TUSCANY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ETc. (A.D. 912-1902) WITH NUMEROUS PEDIGREES BY REV. THOMAS WARREN F. R. S. A. IRELAND "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world."-DANIEL WEBSTER PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION £All riglzts reserved] A HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE WARREN FAMILY To THE ~IEMBERS OF THE VARIO US BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT AND NOBLE FAMILY OF WARREN AND THOSE RELATED TO THEM BY THE COMPILER THOMAS WAR REN PREFACE SOME years ago, having retired from professional duties owing to failing health, I began to trace my own family pedigree, without any intention of writing a book; but finding the study of Genealogy so fascinating, I was led to extend my researches to other branches of the old and honoured name of Warren. The materials I have collected, after long and arduous labour, are considered by friends to be worthy of record as well as useful and interesting, not only to those of the name and kindred now living, but important as a basis to work from for others who may afterwards wish to enter upon this field of research and add to the information already acquired. Hence the volume now submitted to my readers. In this work, which has been to me a labour of love, I have received much sympathy and valuable assistance from members of this great and widely-dispersed family, to whom I return my grateful thanks.

  • British Colonial Office East Florida Records Finding
    British Colonial Office CO 5 East Florida Records Annotated List of Contents a DLAR Finding Aid by David Swain December 2014 British Colonial Office CO 5—East Florida Records Annotated List of Contents Introduction Contents: Summary Maps Themes Secretaries of State Timeline References General Table of Contents General Notes Summary This is the second Annotated List of Contents Finding Aid prepared by the David Library of the American Revolution on the British Colonial Office CO 5 records of East and West Florida, which are available on microfilm at the David Library. The finding aid for West Florida was completed in 2013 and is available through the David Library’s website/blogsite (www.dlar.org). Now, the David Library makes available the second, complementary finding aid for East Florida. In addition to providing introductory information about East Florida and the East Florida microfilmed papers, these pages offer comparisons between the West Florida and East Florida British colonial experiences. Each introduction is important for the information it provides about its separate colony, but this one also contains certain comparative information. The information presented here is in summary form only, with the intent of guiding researchers toward interesting leads and directions for more complete investigating—including use of the West and East Florida Colonial Office papers. As with West Florida, the history of the British colony of East Florida represents a tiny microcosm of unique experience within the much larger history of the developing British Empire in the late 18th Century. As such, it provides for historians an interesting example of one small colony’s attempt to emulate the accepted model for imperial/colonial development—and its ultimate failure.

    English Book Owners in the Seventeenth Century: A Work in Progress Listing How much do we really know about patterns and impacts of book ownership in Britain in the seventeenth century? How well equipped are we to answer questions such as the following?: • What was a typical private library, in terms of size and content, in the seventeenth century? • How does the answer to that question vary according to occupation, social status, etc? • How does the answer vary over time? – how different are ownership patterns in the middle of the century from those of the beginning, and how different are they again at the end? Having sound answers to these questions will contribute significantly to our understanding of print culture and the history of the book more widely during this period. Our current state of knowledge is both imperfect, and fragmented. There is no directory or comprehensive reference source on seventeenth-century British book owners, although there are numerous studies of individual collectors. There are well-known names who are regularly cited in this context – Cotton, Dering, Pepys – and accepted wisdom as to collections which were particularly interesting or outstanding, but there is much in this area that deserves to be challenged. Private Libraries in Renaissance England and Books in Cambridge Inventories have developed a more comprehensive approach to a particular (academic) kind of owner, but they are largely focused on the sixteenth century. Sears Jayne, Library Catalogues of the English Renaissance, extends coverage to 1640, based on book lists found in a variety of manuscript sources. The recently-published Cambridge History of Libraries in Britain and Ireland (2006) contains much relevant information in this field, summarising existing scholarship, and references to this have been included in individual entries below where appropriate.
