Robert Allen Burney Jr A Genealogy Report For ROBERT ALLEN BURNEY JR. Prepared by Reginald Vaughn Finley Sr Created on 3 July 2008 "The Complete Genealogy Reporter" © 2006-2008 Nigel Bufton CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 2. DIRECT RELATIONS 3. FAMILY TREES 4. NOTES 1. INTRODUCTION STATISTICS This document reports the details of 446 individuals, of which 222 are male and 210 are female. Of the 30 individuals with recorded birth and death dates, the average lifespan was 63.6 years. Of these, 15 males averaged 60.5 years, and 15 females averaged 66.7 years. The longest living male was Richard Day Sr., who died aged 89. The longest living female was Anna Lou Judkins, who died aged 92. There are 172 families reported. 143 of these families are reported as having children, with an average of 2.1 children per family. THE NARRATIVE SECTIONS The "Direct Relations" section reports the details of individuals who have a direct family connection to Robert Allen Burney Jr.. The section is broken into sub-sections for each generation, within which the individuals are listed in order of closeness of relationship. The sequence numbers are used throughout the document to cross-reference back to the detailed entry of an individual. With a narrative section, each generation is shown as a separate subsection, within which the individuals are listed in order of the closeness of their relationship to Robert Allen Burney Jr.. COUSIN RELATIONSHIPS Cousin relationships are determined by distance (first, second, third, etc.), and times removed. Distance is determined as one less than the lower number of the previous generations traversed back from each of the individuals until the first common ancestor is found. Thus, if two people of the same generation have a common great-grandparent (three generations back), they are second cousins. Removal is determined by the number of generations which separate the two people. For example, consider your first cousin's children. Because your common ancestor with them is your grandfather (two generations back) and their great-grandfather (three generations back), you are first cousins, once removed. FAMILY TREES SECTION Each family tree shows the reported children, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents of a family group. In order to reduce redundancy, any family group which is wholly included within another family tree may not be reported separately. Above each of the great-grandparent boxes (top row), a continuation family tree reference number is shown if the great-grandparent is recorded as a child in the continuation tree. A continuation reference number is also shown to the left of a grandparent or parent box if that individual has siblings reported in the continuation tree; and beneath a child box (bottom row) if that individual has children reported in the continuation tree. In cases of multiple marriages, a continuation reference number preceded by "=" is shown to the right of a parent box. This number references the previous and/or next tree in which that individual is shown with another partner. Page 2 2. DIRECT RELATIONS Generation of Great-Great-Great-Grandparents 1. DAVID? DAY (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandfather) was born in 1840 in Alabama. 2. UNKNOWN MOMMA DAY (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandmother). David? Day married Unknown Momma Day. They had three sons: Richard Day Sr. 1856-1946 Daniel Day 1860 Thomas Day 1865-1919 This family is shown as family tree 1. Note: We find a widowed 70 year old David Day is listed as a neighbor of Richard Day Sr. on the 1910 Census for Mount Meigs, Alabama. His occupation at that time was farmer. It's very possible that David Day is Richard Day's father. In the same area we find only a few other Day families. They could possibly be related although we have no verification at this time.

Obediah became generally known as "Obedie". 4. MS. UNKNOWN (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandmother). Obediah Johnson married Ms. Unknown. They had one daughter: Rachel Johnson 1861-1923 This family is shown within family tree 4. 5. NATHANIEL CARTER (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandfather) was born about 1845 in Virginia. 6. JANE HAUCK (Robert Allen's great-great-great-grandmother) was born about 1846 in Indiana. Nathaniel Carter married Jane Hauck. They had one daughter: Isabel Carter 1865 This family is shown within family tree 5. Generation of Great-Great-Grandparents 7. RICHARD DAY SR. (Robert Allen's great-great-grandfather) was born in 1856 in Alabama to David? Day and Unknown Momma Day, as shown in family tree 1. Richard became generally known as "Dick". He resided in Star Route 3, Bessemer, Alabama. Dick died on 22 June 1946, aged about 89, in Bessemer, Jefferson, Alabama. He was buried on 30 June 1946 in Virginia Mines Cemetery, Hueytown, Alabama. Note: Richard Day Sr. is the grandfather of Algernon and Daniel Edgar Day. Cynthia (Day) Finley provided the picture of Richard Day you see here. She was informed by Daniel E. Day that Richard Sr worked the railroad. Richard's apparent age and building construction dates this pic possibly to around 1908 or so. Richard Day Sr lists his occupation as Farmer on all Censuses. His son, Richard Jr also worked the railroad according to the 1910 census. It's possible they both worked the railroad but for only a short time. Cook Station no longer exists as it was bought by the Dozier Family in 1937. The Doziers own the land now and run a "Cook Station Grill and Grocery" and "The Pit Stop" gas station on the corner of Wares and Cook Station Rd. The number is (334) 277-3277). The major export from Cook Station was lumber until World War II, then they started hauling gravel. "Cook Station hauled lumber and gravel all the way to Atlanta, GA." Mr. Dozier states that they moved the actual station and they now use it as a house on his property. We have old and recent photos of this house. Arthur Harris, a descendant of Richard Day's brother, Thomas Day, remembers "Uncle Dick" and his daughter Henrietta. Arthur, recalls that many of Uncle Dick's children moved to Birmingham and that Rachael died before Uncle Dick. Arthur reports that he remembers Uncle Dick getting ill and his family coming down to take him to Birmingham. He died in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Jun 22, 1946. 8.

They had one child, and assumed parenthood of another one: Thomas Day by adoption Florence Day 1879 Note: It's very possible that Daniel Edgar Day was named after this Day, who would be his great uncle. 15. THOMAS DAY (Robert Allen's great-great-great-uncle) was born in 1865 in Mount Meigs, Alabama to David? Day and Unknown Momma Day, as shown in family tree 1. Thomas died in 1919, aged about 54. 16.

Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

A single reading of a Learned Hand opinion is often merely an appetizer. Second and third readings are often preferable, as intel- lectual satisfaction increases with each reading. Because of this, a more effective presentation would have been made if greater spacing and larger type had been used. It is rather strange that outside judicial opinions, Learned Hand did very little writing. Our knowledge of his great intellect, his respect for the discipline of the system, and, above all, his intellectual honesty, tempered with the humility of the great, is derived almost exclusively from his comparatively short, thoroughly reasoned judicial opinions. Whether the author is successful in his attempt to portray Learned Hand as an outstanding example of judicial greatness to laymen is debatable; but, certainly the editor succeeds in producing a book of both value and entertainment. As a trial judge, I derived great pleasure and satisfaction from this interesting exposition of the work of one of the most competent judges who has graced the bench in the last half century.

  • Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War Along the Lower Mississippi
    Devils in Disguise: Masculinity and the Irregular Naval War along the Lower Mississippi Within weeks of the first volley at Fort Sumter, New Orleans bore witness to an altogether different salvo. On May 6, 1861, the docks at Algiers, Louisiana ignited into flames. Nine commercial steamboats— General Pike, Editor, Grenada, Telegram, Baltic, Republic, Madison, Dollie Webb, and Conqueror— mysteriously caught fire. In a matter of moments, over 4,500 tons of timber splintered into kindling and the combined investment of $28,500 disintegrated into ash. Yet, the event was unremarkable. Despite the magnitude of such a multi- vessel conflagration, the inferno drew little local interest or concern. After all, steamboat fires— usually attributed to boiler explosions— were fairly common in the nineteenth century. On average, twenty-one percent of all antebellum riverboats burned or exploded. Between 1847 and 1857 alone, 230 steamboats caught fire. Between 1816 and 1848, 1,433 people lost their lives in riverboat explosions. As citizens of a prominent port town, New Orleanians would have been cognizant of the innate danger and combustibility of steamboats. As such, local officials quickly dismissed the incident as an accident signifying that the notion of intentional boat burning had not yet entered into the public consciousness. 1 Interestingly, at least one party thought the 1861 New Orleans inferno was intentional. The Cincinnati Daily Press reported that the fire was the work of a “negro incendiary.” Whether the newspaper meant that the culprit was an African American, an abolitionist Republican, or simply a degenerate was unclear. What was apparent was the paper’s declaration that the 1 United States War Department, The Annual Report of the Secretary of War (Washington, D.C., U.S.

  • Burford, David (1791-1864) Papers 1810-1915
    BURFORD, DAVID (1791-1864) PAPERS 1810-1915 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archival Technical Services Accession Number: 85.015 Date Completed: December 13, 1985 Location: IX-G-5 Microfilm Accession Number: 1181 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION The David Burford Papers, 1810-1915, are centered around David Burford (1791-1864), army officer, businessman and state legislator from Smith County, Tennessee. The David Burford Papers were placed on deposit by Judge G. W. Allen, Dixon Springs, Tennessee. The collection occupies 1.26 linear feet of shelf space, and numbers approximately 450 items. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the David Burford Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The David Burford Papers, containing 450 items, span the period 1810-1915, although the bulk is largely concentrated in the years 1814-1840. The collection is composed of accounts, correspondence, court records, election records, genealogical data, horse records, land records, legal documents, lists, military records, passes, slave records and several miscellaneous items. Over one half of the collection consists of correspondence addressed to David Burford while he and Colonel Robert Allen were engaged in a mercantile business in Carthage, Tennessee. Most of these letters were of a business nature and concerned payments on account, acceptance of bank drafts for collection and payment, selling of tobacco through various mercantile firms in New Orleans and other financial transactions. Following the financial panic of 1819 the contents of these business letters reflected the general anxiety in business circles. Several correspondents from New Orleans decried the general state of business including the depressed market for agricultural products, particularly tobacco, the inability to procure United States bank notes to remit for drafts left for collection, business failures in New York City, the dull slave market, and many bank failures in Baltimore.

  • The Role of Union Cavalry During the Atlanta Campaign
    AD-A284 554 ETTO 3 Jun 94 Master's Thesis 2 Aug 93-3 Jun 94 The Role of Union Cavalry During the Atlanta Campaign MAJ Robert B. Leach, USA U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Attn: ATZL-SWD-GD Ft. Leavenworth, Ks 66027-6900IOU Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This study is a historical analysis of the effectiveness of Union cavalry during the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. In a campaign noted for the highly skilled maneuver conducted by General William Tecumseh Sherman, the effective employment of the cavalry was essential. The Union cavalry had the missions of providing security to the flanks of the army and protecting the supply lines by guarding the railroad and by striking against the Confederate cavalry. Later in the campaign, the Union leadership introduced the task of destroying Confederate railroads as a cavalry mission. The Union cavalry failed to perform these missions adequately. First, this work investigates the tradition of the Union cavalry and the state of Sherman's cavalry at the beginning of the campaign. Secondly, an analysis of the cavalry operations breaks the use of cavalry into three phases a-nd focuses on the various missions which were attempted. Finally, the study addresses the lessons learned and what the applicability is for modern operations. This study concludes that although the Union cavalry was well manned and well eauipped, improper employment and deficient senior leadership caused it to play an unsuccessful and detrimental -part in the overall campaign.
