Previous to the year 1891 our family had held a pic­ nic on the Fourth of July for twenty years or more, but the Fourth of July, 1890, it was suggested· that we form what vvas named " The John Lowe Family Circle." The record of the action taken at that time is as follows: FITCHBURG, July 5, 1890. For the better promotion and preservation of our family interests, together with a view to holding an annual gathering, we, the sons and daughters of John Lowe, believing that these ends will be better accom­ plished hy an organization, hereby subscribe to the fol­ lowing, viz.: The organization shall be called the "JOHN LO¥lE :FAMILY," and the original officers shall be: President, Waldo. Secretary, Ellen. Treasurer, "I..,ulu." Committee of Research, Edna, Herbert .. and David; and the above officers are expected to submit a constitu- tion and by-laws to a gathering to be held the coming winter. Arthur H. Lo\\re, Albert N.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date:___________________ I, _________________________________________________________, hereby submit this work as part of the requirements for the degree of: in: It is entitled: This work and its defense approved by: Chair: _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ “Making Middle-Class Marriage Modern in Kentucky, 1830 to 1900” A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 8 September 2006 by Kathleen Leonard Bayes M.A. (History), University of Cincinnati, 1998 M.A. (Women’s Studies), University of Cincinnati, 1996 B.A., York University, Toronto, Canada, 1982 Committee Chair: Wayne K. Durrill Abstract This study examines changes that Kentucky’s white middle class made to marital ideals in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It demonstrates that this developing class refined an earlier ideal of companionate marriage to better suit their economic, social, and cultural circumstances in an urban environment. This reevaluation of companionate marriage corresponded with Kentucky’s escalating entry into a national market economy and the state’s most rapid period of urbanization. As it became increasingly unlikely that young men born to Kentucky’s white landed settler families would inherit either land or enslaved labor, they began to rely on advanced education in order to earn a livelihood in towns and cities.
