  • Mary Neill Whitelaw (1840-1925) Biography
    THE LIFE OF MARY NEILL WHITELAW 1840-1925 A DOCUMENTARY BIOGRAPHY WITH AN APPENDIX OF NEILL FAMILY DOCUMENTS By Susan Love Whitelaw 2004 With Grateful Acknowledgement of Contributions by: Margaret Ruth Fluharty Dot Shaw Harrison Anne Smith Kepner Bill Whitford Mary Elizabeth Williams Enerson Jean Young And Special Thanks to: Sue Cashatt, current owner of the old Whitelaw home in Kidder, MO 1 PREFACE This document is in two parts: 1. A “documentary biography” of my great grandmother, Mary Neill Whitelaw (1840- 1925), a nineteenth century Scottish immigrant who lived and raised a family in Kidder, a small town in northwest Missouri. 2. An extensive Appendix containing letters, newspaper articles, and other material relating to Mary Neill Whitelaw’s family of origin and to her origins in Scotland. The main purpose of the documentary biography is to pull together all available material on Mary Neill Whitelaw in a chronological format. I have stuck closely to the documents available and have not tried to embellish or speculate on aspects of Mary Neill Whitelaw’s life about which the written record is silent. Thus, the coverage of her life is uneven, depending as it does on the sources available. There is much more material concerning her later years (1900-1925), when her children were adults and writing letters, than about her earlier ones The material for the documentary biography comes mainly from the estate of her granddaughter, Mary Elizabeth Williams Enerson, who died in 2002, leaving a large archive of family letters and memorabilia. Much of this material she inherited from her mother, Ruth Whitelaw Williams (1872-1950), Mary Neill Whitelaw’s daughter.

  • The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776
    The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS EDITOR'S NOTE NE of the most useful tools in the chest of the bibliog- O rapher, historian, and librarian is the series of little volumes by Dr. Weis on the colonial clergy. The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume. The institutional data which is provided at the end of the New England volume is for the other colonies issued in a separate volume. The Colonial Churches and the Colonial Clergy in the Middle and Southern Colonies (Lancaster, 1938), which is still available from the author.

  • THE ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW the Office of Sheriff in the Early
    THE ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW Downloaded from NO. CXXX.—APRIL 1918 * The Office of Sheriff in the Early http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ Norman Period HE generation after the government of England was assumed T by Norman officials was the time at which the sheriff's power was at its highest. It was the golden age of the baronial shrievalty, the period during which the office was generally held at University of California, San Francisco on March 8, 2015 and its tradition established anew by the Conqueror's comrades in arms. The strength of William of Normandy was in no small measure derived from this latter fact. The sheriff in turn profited from the vast access of power which the turn of events and the insight of experience had brought to the king. With the excep- tion of the curia regis, the greatest institution at the king's disposal was now the shrievalty. It is the aim of the present .article to trace the activity and development of the office in this period for which no systematic detailed study of the subject now exists.1 There was a strong likeness between the English sheriff and the Norman vicomte, and the conquerors naturally identified the one with the other.4 As the English of the chancery gave place 1 Stubbs treats the Norman shrievalty in on incidental fuitiinn^ covering only it6 barest outlines (Constitutional History. 6th edition, L 127-8, 295, 299, 425-30).

  • SUSSEX COUNTY CRICKET CLUB COMMITTEE MEMBERS: 1858 to 1996
    SUSSEX COUNTY CRICKET CLUB COMMITTEE MEMBERS: 1858 to 1996 The list below gives brief details of all 322 individuals – 319 men and three women − who were full members of the committee overseeing the operations of the Sussex County Cricket Club between the start of the 1858 season and the end of the 1996 season, 139 years in all. The start date has been chosen because 1858 was the first year of the ‘reformation’ of the club under the secretaryship of Bridger Stent, a Brighton solicitor, following the annual general meeting towards the end the 1857 season. The end date has been chosen because 1996 was the last season before a similar instance of régime change, ‘the revolution’, at the annual general meeting in March 1997. The details provided for each individual comprise, where appropriate and where the information is available: (1) surname and forenames; (2) date and place of birth; (3) secondary schools and higher education institutions attended; (4) details of UK residence; (5) seasons of membership on the committee and officer positions held, if any; (6) occupations; (7) achievements in the public eye, including civilian and military honours; (8) significant cricket-playing achievements, including Test appearances; (9) achievements at national or international level in other sports; (10) details of close relatives who played first-class cricket for the county or were county committee members; (11) date and place of death. Abbreviations used in the list are explained in Appendix Two.
