Gilman Family TffE GILMAN FAMILY TRACED IN THE LINE OF WITH AN ACCOUNT OF MANY OTHER GILMANS IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. BY ARTHUR GILMAN, A. M. Honors befi thrive, When rather from our acts we them derive Than our fore-goers. - All's Well that Ends W,ll, act II, scene 3, AL BAN r, N. r. JOEL MUNSELL, 82 STATE STREET. 1869. THIS VOLUME IS ln~ctibell TO MY FATHER. PREFACE. BOUT ten years ago the late William Charles Gilman, of New York city, gave the writer an outline of the pedi­ gree of a portion of the defcendants of the Hon. John Gilman, of Exeter, New Hampfhire. A rough copy of that outline formed the germ of the • prefent volume. An intereft was awakened, and inveftigations were purfued until Mr. Gilman propofed that the refults £hould be publifhed for the benefit of the family. In confequence of urgent folicitation and kind encouragement, the refearches were therefore continued on a more extenfive fcale. The writer's reluctance to enter upon fo laborious and expenfive a work, was overruled. The confideration that details of great intereft to our future families might thus be verified and preferved, which otherwife would be fore_ver loft, had much influence. It feems proper that a brief account of the means ufed in colletl:ing the data herein embodied, fhould be given in this . Vl Preface . place. In the year 1862 a circular was iff'ued from New York, where the writer then refided, and fent to the defcendants of John Gilman in many parts of America, in which inquiries were made on the fubjeB: of the family hiftory. No reftriB:ion was laid upon correfpondents in regard to the faB:s to be com­ municated, they being allowed perfeB: freedom to give any information whatever. In 1863 a preliminary pamphlet of fifty-one pages was printed, in which moft of the pedigrees received were recorded. This was circulated, accompanied with a requeft that all errors fuould be correB:ed and omiffions fupplied, and that additional biographical fketches fuould be fent to the author., all to be publifued free of expenfe. In a prefatory note in that pamph­ let this was again urged, and the offer was made to infert in the final record fuch fl:eel portraits as might be furnifued, which were alfo to be publifhed without charge . • In the courfe of the inveftigation the original home of John Gil man's ancefl:ors was difcovered in Norfolk county., England, and members of the family now refiding there met the unex­ peB:ed, and, to them, furprifing advances from this fide of the water, with the deepeft intereft and in the moft fraternal fpirit. In 1864, in order frill further to elicit faB:s, a fecond pamph­ let, of twenty-four pages, with engravings, was iffued, which contained the pedigrees difcovered in England. In that publica­ tion the members of the family were again urged to fend information to the writer. In 186 5, a perfonal examination was made of the localities in Preface. Vll England conneB:ed with the family hiftory, and fome new faB:s of intereft were gathered. In purfuing the work the acquai~tance has been made of numerous reprefentatives of the name. They are fcattered from Maine to Minnefota, and from Georgia to Canada, while a few, who have ftrayed beyond the great central plain, are found on the other fide of the Rocky Mountains. ConneB:ed with their eaftern friends by the new railway to the Pacific, they look weftward to their kinfmen in the Flowery Kingdom, and thus eftabliili a circuit of· the world. The writer's memory of the hofpitable attentions received on both £ides of the At­ lantic, and of the pleafant acquaintances made, will ever remain frefh, confl:ituting not the leaft of thofe compenfating advan­ tages always attendant upon labor. The biographical !ketches in this volume are derived from a variety of fources. Some are comparatively full, while others will be found meagre in detail. They bear a proportion to the information placed at the author's difpofal. Some of them are more complete than the immediate relatives were able to pre­ pare. No important faB:s have been intentionally omitted, while it may be found that in fome cafes all the faB:s that fhould have been recorded have not been communicated to the writer. To a number of friends acknowledgments are due for biographical !ketches, and for important details of perfonal hiftory. To one of our name the writer is indebted for encouragement and generous pecuniary aid, without which it would have been impracticable for hi1n to have accomplifhed v111 Preface. what has been done. The work of the writer of thefe lines has largely confifted in arranging the handiwork of others. How far he has been able to realize his conception of a perfect: genealogy is for others to fay. The refult is prefented with great diffidence, and if it ferve no other end than to unite the family in clofer bonds of friendfuip in the prefent generation, . and to prove the foundation of a worthier record at fome future - - time, the labor will not have been vain. .Arthur Gilman. Glynilyn, LEE., Berkfhire County, Maffachufetts., July., 1869. _ ARRANGEMENT. HE arrangement of this volume requires but little explanation. Each individual in the direct line of defcent from the firft Edward Gilman, is defignated by a numeral which is ufed when reference is made to him, as on page z4, and elfewhere. When a male member of the family has had defcendants, the numeral indicating his eldeft child is placed in parenthesis after the father's name. The fame enumeration is continued through the three principal branches, though, for convenience, the Gilmanton branch is made to begin with number 600, and the Newmarket branch with number 800. The author's original ignorance of his anceftors caufed him to collect the pedigrees of many not of John Gilman's line, moil: of whom are defcendants of his brothers Edward and Mofes. Thefe are included in this volume. By purfuing this courfe the frequent intermarriages of dif­ ferent branches of the family are more clearly explained, and the value of the book is, it is hoped, increafed. For the fake, alfo, of making the various Gilma·ns acquainted fame­ what with the wide-fpread circle bearing the name, reference is made at the clofe of thefe pedigrees to fondry other branches in England, Ireland, and America.

Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/history_theses Part of the Literature in English, North America Commons, United States History Commons, Women's History Commons, and the Women's Studies Commons Abstract During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, American women were subjected to restrictive societal expectations, providing them with a well-defined identity and role within the male- dominated culture. For elite southern women, more so than their northern sisters, this identity became integral to southern patriarchy and tradition. As the United States succumbed to sectional tension and eventually civil war, elite white southerners found their way of life threatened as the delicate web of gender, race, and class relations that the Old South was based upon began to crumble.

Harvey certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" Committee ____________________________________ Chairperson ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Approved: April 7, 2008 ii Abstract It was no coincidence that commercial theater, a market society, the British middle class, and the “first” British Empire arose more or less simultaneously. In the seventeenth century, the new market economic paradigm became increasingly dominant, replacing the old feudal economy. Theater functioned to “explain” this arrangement to the general populace and gradually it became part of what I call a “culture of empire” – a culture built up around the search for resources and markets that characterized imperial expansion. It also rationalized the depredations the Empire brought to those whose resources and labor were coveted by expansionists. This process intensified with the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, and theater began representing Native Americans and African American populations in ways that rationalized the dominant society’s behavior toward them. By utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this research attempts to advance a more nuanced and realistic narrative of empire in the early modern and early republic periods.

EDITOR'S PREFACE THIS book is in three parts. The first two, Miss Keller's story and the extracts from her letters, form a com- plete account of her life as far as she can give it. Much of her education she cannot explain herself, and since a knowl- edge of that is necessary to an understanding of what she has written, it was thought best to supplement her autobiography with the reports and letters of her teacher, Miss Anne Mansfield Sullivan. The addition of a further account of Miss Keller's personality and achievements may be unnecessary; yet it will help to make clear some of the traits of her character and the nature of the work which she and her teacher have done.

  • American Nationalisms
    American Nationalisms America was born in an age of political revolution throughout the Atlantic world, a period when the very definition of “nation” was transforming. Benjamin E. Park traces how Americans imagined novel forms of nationality during the country’s first five decades within the context of European discussions taking place at the same time. Focusing on three case studies – Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina – Park examines the developing practices of nationalism in three specific contexts. He argues for a more elastic connection between nationalism and the nation-state by demonstrating that ideas concerning political and cultural allegiance to a federal body developed in different ways and at different rates throughout the nation. American Nationalisms explores how ideas of nationality permeated political disputes, religious revivals, patriotic festivals, slavery debates, and even literature. Benjamin E. Park currently serves as an assistant professor of history at Sam Houston State University. He received graduate degrees in religion, politics, and history from the Universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge. He has received fellowships from the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston University’s American Political History Institute, and the University of Missouri’s Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy. His publications have appeared in Journal of the Early Republic, Early American Studies, Journal of American Studies, and American Nineteenth Century History.
