    James Cooper Stewart

    THE JAMES C STEWART MELBOURNE CONNECTION Adrian Fletcher – last update 15 January 2015 afletch at paradoxplace dot com www.ciaofamiglia.com James Cooper Stewart (1836 – 1919 (83)) was the son of another James Stewart (a master house painter) and his wife Mary (May) (Falconer) who lived in Brechin, north of Edinburgh. Their names appear in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 (without James jnr) Scottish censuses and we have managed to trace hand written registry records of some of their ancestor births, marriages and deaths back to 1777. The Stewart’s brownstone residence at 62 High Street, Brechin, is now a dilapidated boarded up shopfront which can be driven past via Google Earth. This is the record of James Cooper’s birth in Brechin in 1836. “Cooper” was May Falconer’s mother’s maiden name. Stewart emigrated from Liverpool to Melbourne (“for his health”) as a paying first class passenger aboard the famous sailing clipper “The Marco Polo” (“The Fastest Ship in the World”) in 1857. Melbourne was then 22 years old, the gold rush had been on since the early part of the decade and Victoria itself had been created in 1851. During this voyage he kept a diary and we have both a photocopy and typed transcript of this as well as a copy of part of the passenger list. The original diary has not been located yet. The diary is written in the form of a letter dated 27 September 1857 to James’ father back in Brechin: The opening paragraph covers leaving home in Brechin on Monday June 1 1857 and “the pangs of grief which rent my breast as I tore myself from all I loved”.

    Faulkbourne Hall Faulkbourne Gd1286

    ENGLISH HERITAGE REGISTERED GRADE II BRAINTREE DISTRICT COUNCIL FAULKBOURNE HALL FAULKBOURNE GD1286 TL804 165 Late C19 gardens on the site of C16 gardens, surrounded by a park of mid C18 origins, extended during the late C19. HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT By 1426 the manor of Faulkbourne had come into the hands of Sir John Montgomery who in 1439 was granted a licence to crenellate his house there; it is from this period that the present red-brick Hall dates, incorporating fragments of the earlier timbered house. Sir John was succeeded in 1449 by his widow and then, in 1464, by his son Thomas who was well favoured by the monarchy. His wealth and power was reflected in a visit by Henry VII to Faulkbourne in 1489. Sir Thomas’ widow inherited the estate in 1495 and was succeeded in 1503 by Sir Thomas’ sister, Alice Spice whose granddaughter Phillipa married John Fortesque. When John died in 1518, Phillipa married Sir Francis Bryan, who was also very popular at court, being a friend to Henry VIII. Thus the status of Faulkbourne Hall and its estate remained high. One of the surviving garden walls may date from Sir Francis’s time, but no other record of the landscape which surrounded his house has been found to date. Henry Fortesque, Sir Francis’s stepson succeeded and his descendants held the estate until 1637 when it was sold to Sir Edward Bullock. His grandson, also Edward, added a south-east wing to the Hall in c 1693 and thanks to two marriages to wealthy wives, the Bullock family flourished at Faulkbourne during the C18.

    From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 by Calen Randolph Clifton, 2013 CTI Fellow Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School This curriculum unit is recommended for: 8th Grade Social Studies North Carolina: The Creation of the State and Nation Keywords: Progressivism, race relations, business, Great Depression, civil rights, Charlotte, desegregation, textile mills, sharecropping Teaching Standards: 8.H.2.2, 8.H.3.3, 8.C&G.1.3, 8C&G1.4 Synopsis: This unit is designed to build student skills of independent analysis and inquiry. Beginning with the Wilmington Massacre of 1898 and ending with the creation of Research Triangle Park in 1959, students will come to their own understanding of the progressive nature of North Carolina’s past. I plan to teach this unit during the coming year in to 111 students in 8th Grade Social Studies, North Carolina: The Creation of the State and Nation. I give permission for the Institute to publish my curriculum unit and synopsis in print and online. I understand that I will be credited as the author of my work. From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 Calen Randolph Clifton Introduction The concept of progressivism is hard to grasp. In a literal sense, progressivism is the idea that advances in a society can improve the quality of life experienced by the members of that society. However, the ways in which different individuals and groups view "progress" can be paradoxical. This is especially true in societies that are struggling with internal strife and discord.

It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one-third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775," and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776." This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Convention empowered the North Carolina members of the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colo- nies in declaring independence.

    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options

    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

    Legacy Commission

    Legacy Commission History is about what happened in the past while commemoration is about the present. We put up statues and celebrate holidays to honor figures from the past who embody some quality we admire….as society changes, the qualities we care about shift. Heather Cox Richardson, Historian Introduction In the 21st century, Charlotte is a city that is growing fast, simultaneously becoming more racially and ethnically diverse and socioeconomically disparate. A mosaic of longtime residents and newcomers from across the U.S. and around the world creates both a dynamic cultural landscape and new challenges that force us to consider issues of equity and inclusion. There is a legacy of racial discrimination in Charlotte that has denied African Americans and other people of color the opportunities to participate fully in the city’s government, civic life, economy and educational advancement. Vestiges of this legacy are symbolically represented in streets, monuments, and buildings named in honor of slave owners, champions of the Confederacy, and proponents of white supremacy. The Legacy Commission believes that the continued memorialization of slave owners, Confederate leaders, and white supremacists on street signs does not reflect the values that Charlotte upholds today and is a direct affront to descendants of the enslaved and oppressed African Americans who labored to build this city. The Commission recommends changing street names and reimagining civic spaces to create a new symbolic landscape that is representative of the dynamic and diverse city Charlotte has become and reflective of the inclusive vision it strives to achieve. The Charge Engage in a comprehensive study of street names and monuments in the City of Charlotte that honor a legacy of Confederate soldiers, slave owners and segregationists.

They had two children: Abraham and Alexander. 2-Abraham Patterson, son of James Patterson1 and Mary Ferrell1, was born in 1756 in County Derry, Ireland,2 died on 27 Jul 1806 in Chester district, South Carolina3 at age 50, and was buried in Old Purity Presbyterian Church, Chester, South Carolina.4 General Notes: Abraham Patterson was considered a man of means in Ireland. He had a man and a woman servant and kept a horse and buggy. He was a merchant and a farmer. In coming to America, Abrahan settled in Baltimore, Maryland, for two years and he is said to have worked at a tan yard part of this period. While living there, the baby Margaret was born in 1804. She was called Peggy. Abraham wrote a number of poems which were published in book form in Baltimore in 1805. [2] Abraham (John in Lena's notebook) was probably a cousin to Betsy Patterson's father, William (wife Dorcas) of Baltimore. Betsy married Jerome Bonapart (Napoleon's younger brother) December 24, 1803. She secured a divorce in Maryland about 1812 or 1813, after Napoleon, who did not recognize the marriage, married Jerome to Catherine of Wurttemberg. [3] Abraham preferred to live in the North a "free" country since he did not approve of slavery [Maryland was actually a slave state - CAR], but Margaret wanted to come south, where her sister Mrs.
