a family of women the carolina petigrus in peace and in war
The often-stereotyped belles and matrons of the nineteenth-century South emerges as diverse personalities in this compelling account of three generations of women from a South Carolina family whose fate rose and fell with the fortunes of the state during the War of Rebellion. This book focuses on Louise Gibert Pettigrew (later changed to Petigru) whose upcountry obscurity rose to privileged prominence in Charleston and on the plantations nearby. Using the letters, diaries, novels, and memoirs of the Petigru women and the material culture surrounding them, the authors weave a complex story of women well worth knowing. The deaths of family elders weakened family traditions, and the loss of young men diminished hopes for the future. This book contains 11 pages of family history charts, with an immense bibliography.

a family through time: a study of the family of thomas and mary pindell. its development, migrations, and social relationships, 1684-1920
This book is a genealogical narrative, following the descendents of Thomas and Mary Pindell of 17th century Maryland through migrations, historical events, and marriages into allied families. The study begins with Thomas Pindell, a colonial Maryland planter, and follows female descendents through at least one generation and male descendents until the early 1900s. It follows their migrations to, or through, Massachusetts, Missouri, West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, and Washington D.C. It traces their history through historical events, such as the major wars, imprisonment as a confederate sympathizer, and impressments by the British Navy. It also details the day-to-day lives and business dealings of planters and merchants in colonial America. The family narrative crosses racial lines, and includes a final chapter with information about Pindells who we were unable to positively link to the descendents of Thomas Pindell. Most references are to original documents, including many unusual ones such as old unindexed miscellaneous documents, 19th century newspaper articles, land records from various states, and material from personal collections.

a third rutan family index
This third volume is intended to supplement the previous books and to be used in conjunction with them. Over half of the Rutans listed in this book did not appear in the earlier versions and those mentioned in the earlier versions appear here only if new information on them has come to light. In this new work numerous Rutans who were formerly unidentified have now been found; many spouses whose names were unknown are now identified; scores of Rutans whose antecedents were uncertain have been connected to their families; Rutan family migration routes before 1850 are discussed; the format utilized in the previous books has been maintained, the bibliography has been expanded and the complete name index updated. Similar to the first two volumes, this index is divided into three mains sections: Rutans in the Northeast Atlantic Colonies and the United States, 1659-1799; Rutans in the Northeastern United States Born After 1799; Rutans Located Outside the Northeastern United States. Entries are arranged alphabetically within each section. Possible information in each listing includes birth, marriage and death dates; residence; occupation; religious affiliations and political leanings; names of parents and children; variation in name spelling; military career and more. Citations to sources are included to point users to original material. A fullname index cross-referencing spouses, and a bibliography of other pertinent sources, will prove very handy to researchers.

a thorndike family history: descendants of john and elizabeth (stratton) thorndike
Forty years have passed since the publication of Morgan Hewitt Staffords Descendants of John Thorndike of Essex County, Massachusetts. For this completely revised genealogy, Scott C. Steward and John Bradley Arthaud re-examined numerous primary sources, including all early Essex County deeds, to bring the work up to twenty-first century scholarly standards. Additionally, Steward presents new scholarship on the Thorndike family origin in England. The name of Thorndike is distinctive. All early people of the name in New England, and probably the majority of people in America today bearing the surname, trace to John (1) Thorndike.

a vindication of my conduct: the court martial trial of lieutenant colonel george etherington
of the 60th or Royal American Regiment held on the Island of St. Lucia in the West Indies, October 1781 and the Extraordinary Story of the Surrender of the Island of St. Vincents in the British Caribbean during the American Revolution. The fascinating story of the surrender of St. Vincents Island, and the subsequent attempt by the colonial governor to make the military commander a scapegoat, is presented here from a fresh perspective based on new research and previously unpublished documentation. A Vindication of My Conduct outlines this intertwined story of plots and subplots involving not only the colonial governor, Valentine Morris, and Lt. Col. George Etherington of the famed 60th Royal American Regiment, but also the Colonial Assembly, the Carib Indians of the island, the plantation owners and merchants, the British Government, and the 60th Royal American Regiment, which garrisoned the various posts on the island. It illustrates the folly that occurred between military and civilian factions that ultimately contributed to the lost British cause–much like that which occurred simultaneously in the American colonies. The main feature of this book is the original, controversial, and never before published 1781 trial transcript which reveals the true “behind the scenes” story, not the least of which entailed a land grant dispute and the intense personality conflict that existed between Etherington and Morris. The book contains several rarely seen original illustrations, documents, and prints, including Etheringtons recently discovered portrait, along with present-day photographs of the sites where these events actually took place. It is arranged in three parts: a chronological background of the events leading to the surrender; the original unedited trial transcript; and the authors in-depth analysis, annotation, and edit of the transcripts. This is of particular interest since other historians have written only brief, very similar general accounts, all of which basically reached the same erroneous conclusions, and which a review of the transcripts does not support. A fine addition to your Revolutionary War library!

a “forgotten” family: the flemish roots of general george washington goethals (1858-1928) “builder of the panama canal”
George W. Goethals “always regretted not knowing more of his antecedents.” A Flemish born namesake of his has done it for him in this study of the Generals ancestors in Belgium. Based on church records, aldermen and orphan acts, archival documents from the City Archives of Ghent, and genealogical publications on the Goethals of the 18th and 19th centuries, the work traces in detail 13 generations of the generals ancestors. The book also sketches the ancestry of Geeraert Goethals, ennobled in 1653 and descending from the same original family in Ghent. Every person bearing the Goethals surname, whether directly related to General George W. Goethals or not, will enjoy this genealogical account of this particular family and an introduction to the origin of th Goethals surname and history. The book will help also one who is looking for his Belgian roots. Interspersed throughout the ancestral information and in separate appendices, are aspects of the history of Flanders and Ghent, cultural life and governmental institutions typical to Flanders for four centuries. A list of more than 1,100 Goethals church records from nine parishes in and around Ghent, a detailed index and a bibliography conclude the book. In addition to eight charts, the work has 24 illustrations of maps, photographs, documents and the wonderful pencil drawings of the Ghentian artist, Mr. Gaston Desmet.

ancestors and descendants of ira johnson and abigail (furbush) johnson from 1590-2003
The original book on the ancestors and descendants of Ira Johnson and Abigail Furbush Johnson was accomplished by Gerald Garth Johnson in 1984. The format used at that time to report the names and dates of family members was modeled after the Genealogy of Captain John Johnson of Roxbury, Massachusetts by Paul Franklin Johnson (1951) so that the two books could be used together by the thousands and thousands of descendants of Captain John Johnson. Additional information and revisions have been based upon marriage, birth and death records compiled by Karlene M. Johnson Messer as well as from personal information from many other relatives. Additionally, William Blandin inserted census and other documented information when found. Information from the earlier books that is now believed to be in error has been eliminated from this volume.

ancestors and descendants of the brothers rev. robert rose and rev. charles rose of colonial virginia and wester alves, morayshire, scotland with information on their brothers patrick, james, hugh, george and alexander
Rev. Robert Rose is certainly one of the best known of the Roses in the American colonies. He was only about 21 years old, and newly ordained, when he arrived in Virginia (about 1725) from the parish of Wester Alves, Morayshire, Scotland. In the next 25 years of his life he built an estate in Virginia that was surpassed by few, developed a circle of friends among the finest and best known of the early Virginians, and built a reputation as a man of caring and judgment whose advice was often sought. His brother, Rev. Charles Rose, joined him in Virginia and became rector of Cople Parish, Westmoreland Co. These two men left many descendants; Roberts line is carried through seven generations and Charless line goes through six. A male-line genealogy (the focus is on the Rose surname), it provides a wealth of information on the family.

baltimore bound: three pathways to the city and the families that followed them, 1680-1923
By 1800, Baltimore was becoming a magnet for people from all over the state and elsewhere. This is the story of a couple from Kent and Talbot counties who came to Baltimore about 1802. There, one of their daughters married John Appleby of Montgomery County. By 1850, they were joined by families from Anne Arundel County. The Anne Arundel County families had also migrated to Charles County and later to Garrett County, Maryland. The original families were: Ball, Kemp, Webb, Shield, Appleby, Wells, Button and Irving. Quaker values melded with strong the Methodist bent of the times to influence their lives. The story is told from family letters, from the early writings of family member, Amelia Welby, whose volume of poetry went through 14 editions in 1846 and from the work of an earlier and reputable family genealogist. It is reinforced by archival records, census data, newspaper clippings and modern family records. Allied families are: Burton, Culver, Coppuck, Dawes, Fowler, Eunick, Grant, Henckle, Huff, Jones, Martin, McClintock, Miller, Oberndorf, Rehn, Sincell, Simpson, Welby, West, Wilkens, Winston.

blackberry winter
During the authors childhood she listened to the many stories she overheard her grandmother, Leta Oesch, and her great-grandmother telling abut life in Canada. After her own daughter was born she was determined to preserve this family lore in a book about her grandmothers life. Blackberry Winter is the story of Leta Oesch, a young girl growing up in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. In 1903, Letas parents traveled in covered wagons from Nebraska to Canada to homestead in the Northwest Territories. It was a harsh, unforgiving land where only the strongest could survive-a land where the temperature could range from 110 degrees in summer to 60 degrees below zero in winter. Born in a log cabin during a blizzard, Leta grew up on the farm in northern Canada where time seemed to stand still. Work on the homestead was hard and never ending. She helped her father clear the land and plant the crops, as well as breaking wild ponies and oxen. She learned the many ways to preserve food, how to keep the farm animals drinking water from freezing solid, how to keep the chickens from freezing to death in the coop, how to keep their feet from freezing to the roost, and much, much more. At nineteen, she fell in love and married Dan Keogh, a U.S. citizen with wanderlust, and her life changed quickly and drastically. The tragedies and triumphs that take her from Canada to Southern California, through the Great Depression and World War II, are chronicled here. Letas journey, written in a charming narrative style, touches on five generations, and includes photographs of the homestead, friends, and family.

The Bradfields are a family about whom much was collected and recorded by earlier family historians, but little published.

The principal focus is on the American family that began with the marriage of John Bradfield and Jane Harmer shortly after July 29, 1712, when they declared their intentions of marriage to the Abington Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends in what is now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Outspoken foe of slavery, minister to Spain, Civil War general, senator from Missouri, secretary of the interior, and advocate of good government, Schurz left his mark on the national scene. His chief importance, however, was as an immigrant leader, the foremost German-American of his time.

cavalier adventures: the story of henry norwood
Henry Norwood survived a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, only to be stranded on an isolated Fenwick Island in the winter of 1650. Henry Norwood, a young Cavalier in the service of the exiled King Charles II, left England sailing on a ship to Virginia. For months passengers barely survived storms and starvation. Finally close to land, Norwood joined a party going ashore for provisions, only to be left when the ship departed without them. In the bitter cold of mid-January, nineteen people found themselves on an uninhabited barrier island with no shelter and little food. They chose Norwood as their leader. Cavaliers Adventures is a true story, told through text, maps and illustrations by the author, interspersed with Norwoods original comments. Sharon Himes is an artist and writer with a special interest in the history and nature of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia. Her wildflower paintings in watercolor and historic maps in pen and ink celebrate the heritage of the region.

cd: genealogy of that branch of the russell family which comprises the descendants of john russell, of woburn, massachusetts, 1640-1878
Russell was not an uncommon name in England, New England, and Virginia in the 17th century; a dearth of records, however, makes it very difficult to connect possible relatives. The object of this study is to trace the descendants of John Russell of Woburn, Massachusetts, who was the progenitor of the Russells of Newport and Providence, Rhode Island, and of others who had migrated to Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Canada by the late 19th century. John Russell was a subscriber to the town orders drawn up for Woburn in 1640. He played a prominent role in the new town. He served as selectman for several consecutive terms, helped distribute the towns land among the proprietors, and was a deacon of the Congregationalist Church. He died in 1676. His descendants included here are his son, John, as well as Jonathan Russell, Thomas Russell, Ralph Russell, and several Russell female lines. Also included are the connections with Solomon Drowne, Smith Bartlett, and Joseph Cooke. Original full name index.

The two notable exceptions are those of Lancaster and of Middlesex and Richmond Counties, who came through Ireland from Morayshire in the North of Scotland to Virginia, and those of Spottsylvania County, who claim an origin in the Highlands of Scotland.” The main branches chronicled here are the lines of Colonel James Gordon, of Lancaster County, and his brother, John Gordon, of Middlesex County, descendants of James Gordon, the first, of Sheepbridge, in County Down, son of the Reverend James Gordon, a Scotsman, who went to Ulster in 1641, as Chaplain in Lord Montgomerys regiment. There is a wealth of family history here, with branches of the family throughout Virginia (and beyond).

cd: the adventures of ebenezer fox in the revolutionary war
From his own hand comes the lively, spirited tale of Ebenezer Foxs life, from his meager beginnings in 1770 as a farmhand at age seven through the end of the American Revolution in 1783. This narrative details some remarkable incidents of the war and as such serves the dual role of entertainment and historical record as presented through personal experience. Foxs father was a tailor, and being poor and having a large family, he thought it best to send young Ebenezer to a local farmer where he could work and earn his own keep. There he stayed for five years. As time wore on, however, Ebenezer began to feel he was being unjustly used by the farmer. Figuring to put an end to his oppresion he set out for Providence, Rhode Island with hopes of grand adventures on the high seas. What follows in an account of Foxs life as a cabin boy, a replacement soldier and finally as a sailor aboard an American fighting vessel. He recounts his days with remarkable detail including vivid accounts of the battles he was a part of and his encounters with some of the more famous people of his time such as John Paul Jones and John Foster Williams. He also sheds a striking light on his sufferings aboard the Old Jersey Prison-Ship and he effected his escape. Truly a remarkable tale of a young patriot and his countrys fight for freedom. The book has an appendix containing information on the activities of some of the books characters after the war as well as verses to a popular song and an explanation of some of the terms that may not be familiar to the reader. There is also a new everyname index. The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a “real” book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numbers will match the page numbers. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep the page numbering consistent.

cd: the browder connection
Now available on CD-ROM! First published in book form in 1995, this major work was six years in the making and is intended to give a comprehensive history of the Browder family.

Other families who will find connections to the Browders include: Bolling, Bowman, Byrd, Cleveland, Clift, Crump, Cunningham, Cate, Dickey, Eldridge, Erwin, Gilliam, Grisham, Heiskell, John/Johns, Lovelace, Pickel, Privett, Sides, Smith and Winton. Special features of the book include all Civil War vouchers with Browder names form VA, TN, AL, KY, TX, MS, LA, NC and SC, and twelve original letters form 1863-1870 which are published in their entirety for the first time.

cd: the house of wemyss: a thousand year history
This comprehensive genealogical history of the Wemyss/Weems family in Scotland and the United States is the first such book written in the 20th century. Divided into five sections, the book opens with an account of Duncan (c.1001-1040), the famous Scottish king, follows the royal line to Michael of Methil (c.1165-1214), the recognized patriarch of all Wemyss descendants, and continues through David Wemyss of Wemyss (c.1535-1597). The next section follows the Wemyss of Wemyss line from 1600 to the present. The third section records a second Wemyss line, known as the Baronetcy because Sir James Wemyss of Bogie, from whom it descends, held the titles of third Baronet of Wemyss and first Baronet of Bogie. It is from this line that most of the Weems families in America can trace their descent. Three of Sir James children-Williamina, David and James-emigrated from Scotland to Maryland in the 18th century, and many of their descendants now live in Texas, Illinois and elsewhere in America. The fourth section covers yet another line, known as the Earldom or the Wemyss-Charteris family, which broke from the Wemyss of Wemyss line after a bitter dispute in the early 18th century. The last section is a brief, narrative history of a deWeymes branch that settled in Venice. The author includes a number of simplified genealogical charts which help the reader keep track of all the individuals discussed in the anecdote-filled text. Many other, smaller branches of the family and lines of descent are recognized and discussed. The author strives to give well-reasoned explanations of his conclusions wherever documentary proof is lacking. A bibliography is included.

cd: the irvines of drum and collateral branches
“This work is intended to give not only a genealogical list of ‘The Barounes of Drum and their descendants, but to sketch, through them, the social and political position of those barons in Scotland who although not Peers, were yet classed as part of the nobility of the land.” So begins Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Forbes Leslie in his estibable history of the Irvines of Drum. He begins with a discussion of the region of Drum itself, and then moves on to the name and arms of Irvine. His extensive genealogical account of the family then begins with Alexander Irvine, who was granted a charter of King Robert Bruce (but about whom little else is know), and continues from Willam de Irwin of Drum (ca. 1332) in strict chronological fashion down to Alexander Forbes Irvine, the proprietor of Drum at the time the book was originally published. There is as well much supplemental material, including Ane Account of the Family of Drum from 1404, a list of charters and deeds in the archives of Drum, collateral branches of the Irvines, parish ministers bearing the surname of Irvine, and more.
