  • The Wolverton Family New Brunswick Connection
    The Wolverton Family New Brunswick Connection Descendants of Empire Loyalist Thomas Woolverton 1735-1819 Grandson of Charles W Woolverton 1660-1746 by Carl Leonard Wolverton The Wolverton Family - New Brunswick Connection Foreword Although my grandfather Leonard Wolverton's parents names 'Joseph and Sarah' were engraved on one end of his headstone in the Upper Knoxford, Carleton Co., NB cemetery, nothing further was known regarding our Wolverton ancestors. As a child, I recall my father visiting cemeteries collecting data for a distant cousin in Woodstock, NB. This information was submitted to a genealogist in the US who was researching the Wolverton family. The researcher died before a planned book could be published and a copy of the data did not survive. After visiting Wolverton, Ontario in 1997, my daughter Lynn decided to contact descendants of the family that founded the town to determine if a connection could be made. Lois E. Darroch, a Wolverton descendant and former resident of Wolverton, Ontario suggested contacting her cousin Harold Wolverton in Vancouver. Hand written documents in his possession connected our family with Joseph Barton Woolverton who had immigrated from New Jersey to New Brunswick following the American Revolution in 1783. Although Harold's charts contained an error in regards to the name of Joseph Barton Woolverton's father, his information provided the key in resolving the Wolverton family New Brunswick connection. Thanks to input from genealogist James D. "Dan" Hitt of Gillette, Wyoming, the father of Joseph Barton Woolverton was identified as Empire Loyalist Thomas (b 1735) rather than John. Additional information regarding Empire Loyalist Thomas Wolverton and his family was provided by researcher Mary W.

  • Gambling with the Bronx Bombers: Betting On, Against, and with the Yankees
    GAMBLING WITH THE BRONX BOMBERS: BETTING ON, AGAINST, AND WITH THE YANKEES Ronald J. Rychlak* The New York Yankees, arguably the most hallowed name in all of pro- fessional sports, has probably had more money wagered on the outcome of its games than any other team in any sport.1 Although few people today may be aware of it, the team itself has a long history of association with gamblers and gambling. The first owners of the Yankees were notorious gamblers; the team’s first captain was indicted in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal; one Yankees’ pitcher was suspected of having thrown another Series game; one owner had ties to underworld figures in Las Vegas; another owner was suspended for his dealings with a known gambler; and one of the most beloved Yankees of all time was barred from baseball due to his association with a casino.2 Addition- ally, it has been suggested that the Yankees’ threat of moving to New Jersey in the mid-1990s was linked to New York State authorizing gambling.3 I. EARLY INNINGS: GAMBLING ON A NEW LEAGUE The relationship between the Yankees and gambling, which continues today, began even before the first Yankee players took the field.4 In the 1800s, people thought of baseball in the same way people today might think of horse racing or jai alai – gambling was simply part of the sport. Brooklyn’s Union Grounds was considered the finest ballpark of the 1870s. One reason was because it had a special facility inside the stadium for the use of bookmakers * B.A.

Forty-six years at an institution leads to such character- izations. Joe joined the SMU law faculty in 1955, when I was seven years old, and he has been here ever since, contributing mightily to the legal education of most living SMU law graduates. I personally have had the good fortune to be Joe's colleague and friend for the last 21, years but I have to say that I have always been in awe of Joe because of his accomplishments and stature in both the academic and practicing legal communities. This was particularly so when I was named the law school's dean and was thus to administer to a faculty which included the likes of Joe McKnight, Alan Bromberg and Bill Dorsaneo.
