Osborne, Compiler Springfield, III. Illinois State Journal Co., State Printers 19 14 /L 949/ JM- ^^'mjlLJujl(A 1AU PREFATORY NOTE In preparing a list of the works on Genealogy to be found in the Illinois State Historical Library it must be taken into consideration that this Department of the Library was only begun in 1907. Previous to iliat time there had been collected many important works along this line, but no especial effort had been made to make a separate department of Genealogy. While our collection cannot yet be classed with such depositories as the Wisconsin Historical at Madison Library of Congress ; the Society ; the New England Genealogical and Historical Society at Boston; the collections at New York City, Albany, and the Genealogical department of the at still that we have been Newberry Library Chicago ; considering doing a special work along this line only for the last six years, we think our collection has been wisely and judiciously selected and that we have made a commendable start in what will prove, as time goes on, a great library for the genealogical student. There is no department in the Library except the Lincolniana, that is used and consulted more than the Genealogical department. We have students working day in and day out, from all parts of the State and other states, and we have many letters asking assistance and information on genealogical subjects. We try to meet fully these demands, but it would take the entire time of a very alert person to do the reference work desired by these correspondents. The State Library of the State of Illinois which is entirely separate from this Library has quite a collection also in the way of State records (Revolutionary records) town histories and local material which we hope eventually will be added to our collection, but as the two libraries are at present on the same floor in the Capitol building, these volumes can easily be consulted when the material asked for is not to be found in this Library. A valuable part of the work of this department, is the compiling of the list of Revolutionary soldiers buried in Illinois. This is the painstaking and careful work of Mrs. Edwin S. Walker, a member of the Committee on Genealogy and Genealogical Publications of the Illinois State Historical Society, assisted by members of the local chap- ters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and is being published in the Quarterly Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society, begun in the April Journal, 1912. These lists are compiled by counties, and no name placed on the list until it is verified and is absolutely correct. The following counties have been listed: Cass, Clark, Cook, Greene, Macon, Madison, Menard, Iroquois, Peoria, Sangamon, Morgan, and Warren, the latter being compiled by Mrs. Helen Nye Rupp, of Mon- mouth, 111. If it is found on further investigation that other names should be • ultlt'd to these county lisls. they will be published in subsequent issues of the Journal. 615652 We have made an appeal from time to time in our annual reports for contributions of the following nature to this Department: Old record books of early churches. Inscriptions on gravestones inx country burying grounds. Records copied from old family bibles. Manuscripts narrative of the pioneers of Illinois. Biographical sketches of pioneers, old diaries, letters, deeds, wills. Original papers on the early history and settlement of the Territory. Lists of soldiers of the War of 1812 who received bounty-land grants in Illinois. Information concerning family histories being compiled, or those already compiled that an attempt may be made to secure a copy for the Library. The works in this list are arranged alphabetically, first by states, second by family histories, third by general works and periodicals. The publications of the Illinois State Historical Library and Society contain a large number of articles useful to the genealogist; they are accounts of pioneer persons, places and events relating to Illinois and the old Northwest. While these cannot be classified as strictly genea- logical works they are very helpful to students working on the ancestry of Illinois and western families. A list of these publications of the Library and the Society may be found at the end of this volume. By co-operation of members of the Society in this work we hope to build up the Genealogical Department of the Illinois State Historical Library until in time it shall be classed as one of the great genealogical collections of the West.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Griswold Family
    1 A Short Introduction to the Griswold Family The Griswold family first appears in Warwickshire, England in the 13th century. The name was spelled various ways. Most early Griswolds spelled their name Greswolde. Since spelling was casual at that time, some forms ran rather far afield, most notably Grissel. So common is this one that when I come across it doing genealogical work, I automatically click in on a Griswold and search farther. So far it’s paid off 100% of the time. How could you get such aberrant spellings? My hunch is that we pronounce all the letters clearly, but that the English did not. English history is full of surnames pronounced totally differently from the way they look. I’ve often wondered if these mangled pronunciations were some sort of secret password that let those around you know that you were a bona fide member of the appropriate social group, much as today people name drop by only using first names and expect you to know exactly whom they are talking about. Thus we have names like Chalmondeley pronounced “Chumley”, Beauchamp pronounced “Beecham”, and Bohun pronounced “Boone”. Why not, then might the original pronunciation of Greswolde been “Gresold” or “Grissel”? The origin of the Griswold or Greswolde name is given in several ways. The family name appeared at a time when Norman French and English were commonly intermixed. “Grès” is “sandstone” in French. “Gris” is grey; griser is to give a grey tint to. “Wold”, however is clearly English, most likely from a Saxon form and is understood to mean “wood” or “forest”.

Florence Griswold Museum, Gift of Janet Eltinge Art and the New England Farm – the Perils and Pleasures of Farming The Florence Griswold Museum is uniquely positioned to tell the story of Art and the New England Farm, on view May 11 through September 16. This exhibition delves into the agricultural heritage of Florence Griswold’s family estate, the Lyme region and beyond, to examine the complex history and character of New England’s farms. Paintings, drawings, and photographs by artists from the 1830s to the present day will trace the unique challenges of farming in New England. The Museum’s property is itself a case study of family farms in New England. Purchased by the Griswolds in 1841, these grounds became a country estate with barns, an orchard, gardens, and riverfront pastures where the family practiced small-scale farming during Florence’s childhood.

ON THE COVER: Postcards from the collection of Jennifer G. Hillhouse. 1 Why Historic Districts? Perhaps nothing so unites the residents of Old Lyme as the shared desire to insure, as their community grows, that it retains as many as possible of those qualities that led them or their ancestors to select it as a place to live. The Town supports an active Planning Commission as well as comprehensive zoning regulations administered by an elected board. To further protect the character of the nucleus of the village, many of the commercial enterprises moved during the 1950s to a newly created business district on Halls Road.
