Signed: _________________________________________________________ James P. McCartin, Ph.D. Member of dissertation committee ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The most rewarding and enjoyable aspect of writing a dissertation is the opportunity at the end of the long process to thank those without whose help the project would never have come to fruition. My greatest debt is to my advisor, Anne M. Boylan. From the beginning of the project to the final stages, she has been the best possible advisor, from offering suggestions on even the most unfocused drafts to helping me refine my writing and arguments, offering the ideal balance of encouragement and constructive criticism at every step of the way. With any other advisor, I doubt that I would have completed this degree. She epitomizes the ideal of the scholar-teacher. Of course, I am also very grateful to the other members of my dissertation committee. Christine Heyrman provided valuable suggestions from the earliest stages of the project; her comments encouraged me to focus on gender, identity, and respectability. As the dissertation neared completion, Rebecca L. Davis commented and critiqued my work in depth. Her time and effort enabled me to greatly refine my arguments and improve my writing in the final draft. My outside reader, James P. McCartin, generously offered his expertise in Catholic history and beliefs; I will be referring to his comments in the future. Sadly, Tamara Hareven, originally a member iv of my committee, did not live to see the dissertation completed, but the influence and example of her scholarship in family history, and her faith in me and in my work, continue to inspire. Through the long process of research and writing, members of my dissertation group provided valuable comments, criticisms, and suggestions: Jalynn Olsen Padilla, Marie Laberge, Adrienne Berney, Jan Davidson, Katina Manko, Katie Leonard- Turner, Bob Schoone-Jongen, Megan Jones, Hannah Kim, Hillary Murtha, and especially my dear friend Patricia Dockman Anderson. To our community of scholars, my deepest thanks. Outside of the group, I would like to thank others who read and commented on parts of this work in its various stages, especially Ann Kirschner, Carolyn J. Lawes, Jake Murray, and Joseph Mannard. I am greatly indebted to Jennifer Grindle Dolde, who generously shared her transcriptions of the letters of Julia Compton. Participants at conferences at the Society for the History of Childhood and Youth, the Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies Association, the Society for the History of the Early Republic, and the Conference on the History of Women Religious gave me valuable comments and criticisms. The University of Delaware provided an ideal community for study and research, as well as generous financial support for which I am very grateful. In addition, I would like to thank the staff of the Department of History, especially Pat Orendorf, who welcomed me to the department, Diane Susan Clark, and Karen Kraul of Information Technology, who guided me through the use of formatting macros with v preternatural patience. I would also like to thank colleagues at Old Dominion University, especially Carolyn Lawes, Jane Merritt, Maura Hametz, and Michael Hucles, for their continued support. Librarians and archivists at the Library of Congress, Kent County Historical Society, the Maryland Historical Society, the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and Special Collections at the University of Delaware, were very patient and helpful. The Interlibrary Loan department at Old Dominion University processed my numerous requests quickly and efficiently and forgave my late fees. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family, without whose support and encouragement this dissertation would never have been completed: Michelene Murawski, Anne Marie Landrineau, Annessa Babic, Elizabeth Hoag-Carhart, Catharyna Vail Britt, Kimberley Reed, Ruth Snow, Andrew Gold, Bill Sturman, Jake Murray, Meri Axinn, Anne Williams, Cate Crow, Shirley Haddad McGurr, Russell Scott Donda, Douglas Fredericks, Arielle Cunnea, Janet Dlugos, Lolen Wendy Daugherty, Lisa Carratini Rapp, May Britton, Carrie Newman, and others too numerous to mention. You know who you are, and you know that I love you all. My family has been an ongoing source of support and encouragement. My mother, Jane Strohhofer, helped ways too numerous to mention. Without her help caring for my daughter, I would not have attended graduate school. Over the long course of this project, my daughter Carla grew from listening to bedtime stories to sending me texts from the University of Miami encouraging me to keep working on vi the dissertation. My father, Anton Strohhofer, M.D., Ph.D., shared his love of history, philosophy, and literature, and read everything I ever wrote, from kindergarten through the dissertation prospectus. My greatest regret is that he did not live to see the completion of this project, but his faith that I would finish, and memories of the times we shared, sustained me through to the end. It is to my family that this dissertation is dedicated. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT............................................................................................................... x INTRODUCTION...................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1 “THE ALMIGHTY HAS SENT THEM TO ME””: RELIGION, BENEVOLENCE, AND GENDER IN ANTEBELLUM GEORGETOWN IN THE LETTERS OF JULIA COMPTON ...................... 12 “Ever Your Friend”: Julia as Teacher and Mentor ......................................... 19 “I Have Had Much Fatigue Both of Body and Mind”: Life as a Spinster Teacher ......................................................................................................... 24 “A League of Friendship”: The Laywoman and Visitation Nuns ................... 26 “My Little Girl”: Julia as Mother .................................................................. 32 “Remember Mr. Mate is Head of Your family”: Julia’s Ideas abut Courtship and Marriage ................................................................................ 40 “A Candidate for Heaven”: Raising Catholic Children .................................. 51 “A Most Lamentable State of Things”: Julia’s Criticisms of Protestantism ................................................................................................ 55 “The Homeless Being Must Have a Refuge”: Private Catholic Benevolence ................................................................................................. 58 “.

A. FOREWORD. The Committee appointed by the Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America to prepare for publication the Second Lineage Book of the Society offers to the members the result of its labors. The work has been accomplished under circumstances of unusual difficulty and the Committee realizes that it was spe- cially fortunate in that it could avail itself of the great and varied experience of the late and lamented Dr. Christopher Johnston, for so many years the Genealogist of the Maryland Society. The selection by Dr. Johnston (in conjunction with the Committee) of Mr. Louis H. Dielman to examine papers and edit this volume proved a very happy choice. He has given much time and great patience to the task and the Committee feels that through this combination a background is repre- sented for its work which would otherwise have been un- obtainable. This foreword would be incomplete without some mention of the late Wilson Miles Cary, Esq., whose thorough researches are shown in many of the Pedigree papers. Mrs. E. S. Beall, Mrs. J. J.

PREFACE. WHEN I found that the footsteps of my Nancy and her little Pepper turned, by the logic of loss, to the Mountain, I tried to describe some of the actual sur- roundings into which they went; but I learn to my sur- prise that this part of the book is treated as imaginary, and is called both unnatural and improbable. Indeed, one of my dearest critics asks me why I manufactured a witch and spoiled my story. Now, I did not manufacture her. The original witch was a real person, and the wild, strange tales of the spectres, the flashing flames, and the clashing of the swords and bayonets in the trenches of the dead are faithful shadows and echoes of what the people believed they saw and heard on South Mountain for long years after the battle in which ex-President Hayes made his fame, on that day wh$ii, tb,e, d^ad- lay in, .windrows, while the cannon ploughed the fields, 'and death reaped the red harvest.

First and foremost among these was the always insightful advice and enthusiastic support of this dissertation’s committee chair, Peter Onuf. When Peter and I first met I think we were both a little surprised we got along so well, and for me at least that relationship has become a fruitful collaboration. The committee’s other members—Mark Thomas, John James, and Kenneth Bowling—have been equally supportive and offered much helpful criticism and commentary. Although Ken was a relative latecomer to the project, his extensive knowledge of Washington, D.C., and his infectious enthusiasm for all things related to the city and for this project have been an invaluable resource.

  • Norman Warfield, a Significant Name As Shown By
    THE WARFIELDS -OF- MARYLAND. BY- PROFESSOR JOSHUA DORSEY WARFIELD. MEI\IBER OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF 1\1ARYLAND. BALTIMORE: THE DAILY RECORD COJ\1PANY. 1898. PREFACE. This review is the result of a patient search of all available records in our Archives, Land Office, Register of Wills, Record of Deeds, Parish and State Reports, not only in Annapolis, but also in the Peabody Library and Historical Society of Baltimore. To keep it within reasonable scope, I shall chiefly record Richard Warfield's direct line. From it interested descendants may easily trace their records. I leave it as my legacy to the genealogists of the future. Genealogy imposes the most tremendous responsibility that can be put upon mankind. If your race is a good one, it says: "Never dare to tarnish this lustre." If a bad one, it says: "From this hour, nay:- this instant, begin a reform. Do not dare to perpetuate this dishonor." And the genealogist is both, the prophet and physician. " I feel I an1 being led ·by a courtly and gracious kinsman, hack to the homes of my forefath~s, introduced into the charmed circle that gatherro. around the hearths, and there identified as one of them." \Vith the above sentiment as my guide, and the encouraging words of the gifted daughter of an eminent authoress, who can1e down through kindred ancestors, added to the n1any requests for a permanent form of ancestral records, I have determined to issue, in book form, inf.ormation, I trust, of interest to many families who are proud of those pioneers who braved every difficnlty that we, their posterity, n1ight live under a flag which now floats unchal­ lenged ·through all lands and upon all seas.

Occasionally, farm or ranch houses and barns stretch across this great track. If one's neighbor happens to be a Kan- san, and is asked as to the reason of the peculiar appearance of the curious, road-like section that goes on into the distance, he will say it is all that remains of the Chisholm, or perhaps the Old Shawnee, cattle trail that, early in the last half of the nineteenth century, formed the avenues over which poured millions of cattle from Texas on their way to Northern stockyards, and the markets of the Eastern and Middle States.

  • Flutists' Family Tree : in Search of the American Flute School / by Demetra
    FLUTISTS’ FAMILY TREE: IN SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN FLUTE SCHOOL DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Demetra Baferos Fair, M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Adviser Approved by Professor Lois Rosow Professor Christopher Weait Adviser School of Music Copyright by Demetra Baferos Fair 2003 ABSTRACT For decades, American flutists have sought to identify specific traits that define their playing as a whole. While the “French School” has been characterized by a preoccupation with tone, a standard repertoire, and set of teaching materials written by Paris Conservatoire professors, no such definition can yet be set forth for the “American School.” This document provides a clear starting point for research into the what, where, why, and how of the “American Flute School” by first identifying who is associated with that school. By tracing the lineage of transverse flute playing from teacher to student through the past 300 years, we may identify orchestral flutist, soloist, and teacher, Georges Barrère, as a primary influence upon American flute playing. Barrère and his students – and his students’ students – have taught approximately 91% of all living flutists in the United States today. Of that vast number, approximately 87% can trace their heritage (through one or more of their teachers) to Barrère student William Kincaid, renowned flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and pedagogue at the Curtis Institute of Music. It is important to note that most modern musicians study with more than one teacher over the course of their career (usually between three and eight).
