In publishing this " History and Genealogy of the Gur­ ley Family," the author has attempted to gather together all the records of those who made an attempt to write and pub­ lish a work of this kind, and embody them in one book, also to search all town, church, and historical records, where any­ thing was to found relating to the Gurley name. In writing a work of this kind it requires a great deal of patience and perseverance to ever make such a work a success, as several made the attempt, but gave it up and died without ever completing it. No one need ever think of writing a history and genealogy of their name, and think of doing or carrying on any other business at the same time, and whoever does will fail of ever making much progress with the work, and will soon give it up and le.ave it for some one else to do. The author of this book has had great pleasure in finding so many Gurleys who have lived an honorable and religious life; they have filled many high and important offices, and are doing the same to-day with honor and credit, although they are not seekers of office, but prefer to live an honest, humble life in quietude and peace. Part First contains a very interesting account of our first ancestor. of which the author of this history has been ahle to find any record of is Ingelram de Gurley, who accom­ panied " William the Lion " from Normandy, France, lo Scotland, in the year u74, and· for hts sage counsels and good advice King William gave him a tract of land in Kin­ crnig, in Fifeshire, which, I believe, is possessed by the name to this day. ·· Part Second contains the history and genealogy of Wil­ liam Gurley, who was born in Inverness, Scotland, in the year 1665, and came to this country at the age of fourteen years, with Rev. Solomon Stoddard, to Northampton. i\fass. Part Third contains the history an<l genealogy of a \Vil- 8 PREFACE. liam Gurley, who was born in the city of \Vcxfor<l, Ireland, March 12, 1757, and was a descendant of James Gurley or Scotland. Part Fourth contains the history and genealogy of Capt. Denjamin Gurley of Marblehead, Boston, Mass. Part Fifth contains the history and genealogy of Rev. Joseph Gurley and Rev. John Gurley, two brothers (Episco­ pal clergymen), who settled in Virginia about 1760. PREFATORY NOTE. These " Memorials of the Scottish House of Gourlay " I have been enabled to produce, consequent on the cost of research haying been defrayed by an honored member of the sept. The inquiry has· been conducted amply, and it is to be hoped that the result will prove interesting not only to the members of tl!e family, but also to those concerned in genealogical studies. CHARLES ROGERS. Edinburgh, 6 Barnton Terrace, July, 1888. MEMORIALS OF THE SCOTTISH HOUSE OF GOURLAY. FAMILIES IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. During the sixteenth century the family of Gourlay held the lands of Sutton Grange in Yorks hire; they also had pos- sessions in Cumberland. · · William Gourlay of Sutton Grange, who was living about 1588, is describ~d as a valiant captain in sundry martial services both at home and abroad."' During the twelfth century ·the family effected a settle­ ment in Scotland. Ingelram de Gurley is described as having accompanied William the Lion when that king, in 1174, returned from-his captivity in England. From King William he received lands in Lothian and Clydesdale. .a He had a son Hugh, who, in 118o, is a wit­ ness to a grant by Ingelram de Baliol to the Abbey of Ar­ broath.J Hugh de Gurley possessed lands in the Lothians, also in Fife.4 Ingelram de Gurley witnessed various charters during the reign of Alexander II. (1214-12-1-9.) He is one of four witnesses to a charter by which Syliald, son of Walter, grants to the monks of Cupar certain rem:,; of the l\'lill of Lundyn; the charter is undated, but is in the register followed by another dated in 1220.5 As " Ingeram de Gurle " he is witness to a charter by which Alan, constable of Lammermoor, grants to the 6 church. of Melrose a right of pasture. 1 Fn,ter's Visitations of Yorkshire, 168. 3 Howe's History of En!,l'land, p, 153, • Register of A berbrothoc, 39. • Chartulary of Newbottle. • Rental Hook of Abbey of Cupar, I., 3.2. • Chartulary of Melrose. 12 THE GURLEY FAMILY GENEALOG\'.

On the 30th March, 1359, Patrick Gourlay, bailie of Ha<l­ dington, rendered to the Chamberlain at Dundee his ac- count, for that burgh.2 . On the 26th October, 1365, "John µourlay, merchant of Scotland,'' received permission to enter England with four companions; and at the same date William Gourlay, "mer­ chant of Scotland/' with four companions, had a similar license.J •. In August, 1534, Mr. Norman Gourlay, apparently a native of the Lothians, was, along with David Stratoun, of the house of'Lauriston, charged with heresy in the Abbey Church of Holyrood. At the trial, James V, then in his twenty-second year, was present, clothed in red. i Condemned to perish at the stake, the prisoners were, on the 27th August, borne to Greenside vVell, and there burned. The spot of execution was selected so that the flames might be witnessed by and strike terror among the people of Fifeshire. · · Norrpan Gourlay had denied the existence of purgatory, and affirmed that the Pope was Antichrist. ◄ . On the site of Melbourne Place, at Edinburgh, stood a large mansion, known as Robert Gourlay's house, and hav­ ing over the principal entrance the legend: "0 Lord in the is al my traist, 1569." Robert Gourlay, the original owner; was a messenger-at-arms connected with Holyrood Abbey, an office bestowed upon him by the commendator, Adam Bothwell, Bishop of Ortney.

Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL.

A series of other colonial powers faced these same problems on the North American continent, notably the Spanish in Louisiana. As with those earlier powers, ultimately the United States pursued processes that both brought Louisiana government and law into line with its institutions, and allowed for continued local control.

    Janis Joplin’s original band : BIG BROTHER& THE HOLDING COMPANY Feat original members : Peter Albin, Sam Andrew, David Getz Au milieu des Sixties, sur la Côte Ouest, et plus particulièrement dans la baie de San Francisco, les futurs grands groupes du rock américain sont en train de naître : le Grateful Dead, le Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & The Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, ainsi que Big Brother & The Holding Company. Big Brother & The Holding Company est le groupe attitré de l’Avalon Ballroom, une des salles de concert les plus réputées de San Francisco. Il comprend à cette époque Sam Andrew et James Gurley aux guitares, Peter Albin à la basse et David Getz à la batterie A la recherche d’une chanteuse pour compléter le quatuor, leur manager, Chet Helms, se souvient de Janis Joplin et la retrouve à Austin où elle exerçait son talent dans un groupe de country & western. Il la ramène à San Francisco en auto-stop ! L’intégration est très rapide : Big Brother & The Holding Company se structure et réorganise son répertoire en fonction de sa nouvelle chanteuse. Quant à Janis, elle trouve avec Big Brother le support musical qui lui permet enfin de se révéler. Après plusieurs années de doute et d'errance, Janis Joplin a rencontré le groupe au sein duquel elle va pouvoir s'épanouir et donner la pleine mesure de son immense talent. Le 12 juin 1966, Janis donne son premier concert avec Big Brother & The Holding Company dans leur salle fétiche de l’Avalon Ballroom. Le groupe devient un habitué des clubs de la baie de San Francisco et son succès naissant lui permet de signer sur un petit label basé à Chicago, Mainstream.
