Download or read book 57th Virginia Infantry Finding the Men in the 1860 Census written by Robert Lee Snow and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 57th Virginia Infantry was one of five regiments in General Lewis Armistead's Brigade in Pickett's Charge, at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. Prior to being Brigadier General, Armistead commanded the 57th Virginia. About 1,800 men joined the 57th, primarily from Franklin, Pittsylvania, Buckingham, Botetourt, and Albemarle County, but at least 15 bordering counties contributed men. Initial enlistments were from May-July of 1861, with the nucleus coming from 5 companies of Keen's Battalion. This publication gives detail on the battles, from Malvern Hill to Appomattox, and the prison camps many suffered through. The core of the book, however, is a quest for basic genealogical data on the men of the 57th Virginia, with a focus on their parents, wives, and location in 1860.

Download or read book The Washingtons Volume 4 Part 1 written by Justin Glenn and published by Savas Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume One began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume Two highlighted notable members of the next eight generations of John and Anne Washington’s descendants, including General George S. Patton, author Shelby Foote, and actor Lee Marvin. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back in time to the aristocracy and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volume Four resumes the family history where Volume One ended. It presents Generation Eight of the immigrant John Washington’s descendants, containing nearly 7,000 descendants. Future volumes will trace generations nine through fifteen, making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. Volume Four, Part One covers the descendants of the immigrant John Washington’s child Lawrence Washington. Volume Four, Part Two covers the descendants of the Immigrant’s children John Washington, Jr., and Anne (Washington) Wright.

Download or read book The Whartons War written by William C. Davis and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between March 1863 and July 1865, Confederate newlyweds Brigadier General Gabriel C. Wharton and Anne Radford Wharton wrote 524 letters, and all survived, unknown until now. Separated by twenty years in age and differing opinions on myriad subjects, these educated and articulate Confederates wrote frankly and perceptively on their Civil War world. Sharing opinions on generals and politicians, the course of the war, the fate of the Confederacy, life at home, and their wavering loyalties, the Whartons explored the shifting gender roles brought on by war, changing relations between slave owners and enslaved people, the challenges of life behind Confederate lines, the pain of familial loss, the definitions of duty and honor, and more. Featuring one of the fullest known sets of correspondence by a high-level officer and his wife, this volume reveals the Whartons' wartime experience from their courtship in the spring of 1863 to June 1865, when Gabriel Wharton swore loyalty to the United States and accepted parole before returning home. William C. Davis and Sue Heth Bell's thoughtful editing guides readers into this world of experience and its ongoing historical relevance.

Download or read book Palfrey Pelfrey Eight Generations and Beyond written by Prentice Ray Pelfrey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have two family crests: one from England, one from the USA. The only difference between the two are the horses on a black background with a chevron. In the England version, the horses are running, and in the American Crest the horses are in a trotting pose, which I recognized when my grandfather raised and trained horses and Tennessee Walkers. The reasoning for having this item in my book was very important because every family that I know has a family crest. We have one, and if you want the one that spells out our ancestry, phone 1800-746-1615. They have a copyright registry, which the crest cannot be copied without permission. I will show the items after the book is published, at a set time and place to be specified. The next items are the states that actually involved our forefathers: Virginia, Kentucky, the Carolinas, and Georgia. You will find names spelled in different ways, but we are from the same original families except the Palfreys that came from Louisiana and Massachusetts. Our family has so many James, Williams, Johns, Elijahs, Elizabeths, Sarahs, Marys, etc.; and it all started in England. This is how they named their males and females, generally like the following: the first son equals the father’s father, the second son equals the wife’s father, the third son equals the father’s oldest brother, the fourth son equals the father, the first daughter equals the mom’s mother, the second daughter equals the father’s mom, the third daughter equals the mom’s name, and the fourth daughter equals the mom’s oldest sister. Understand that this is not in every case. Have any of you tried to connect even a Daniel with the correct family? My point is, you have to get the birthday of each person within a couple of years and then affix the correct name with the correct family. Then you can affix the correct death date. If you do not know, write circa: nearest the dates. Some of the original family from John Palfrey, as son Joseph, who married Elizabeth Quarles, went to Spartanburg, South Carolina after the first census of 1790. He was in the 1800, 1810, and 1820 census; but the last two were in Pendleton South Carolina.(Miliam who is a descendant of Joseph’s line of Pelfreys) James married Polly Turner, and they returned later from Georgia, but Joseph did not. Sarah married James Qualls and moved to North Carolina in the early 1800s. John Jr., as far as my research could find, stayed in Henry County, Virginia, after he married. They had a family, and he still lives in Virginia. Then William I, in 1764 got married somewhere in Virginia, exactly where, I cannot find in all my research. He started his family, composed of Nancy in 1786, Daniel in 1788, Anne in 1789, Mary Polly in 1792, William II in 1794, Alexander in 1795, Elijah in 1797, and John in 1800. Around 1793, William sold his thirty-eight acres located on the north side of Smith River, just south of Martinsville in Henry County, Virginia. Then the census of 1810 in Floyd County, Kentucky. I cannot find in records where he lived. He could have moved with his family into Kentucky, but he took the Wilderness Trail through the Cumberland Gap of the Great Smokey Mountains—exactly the one Daniel Boone, with some of his trailblazers, made from a horse trail to a wagon trail. With Indians on the warpath because of all the new families moving toward and into the Midwest, I am sure he pondered the threats along the way with so few travelers. See all the attached time lines, which are very interesting. This is, in short, why I now have up to nine generations from John to William and beyond. In the following chapters, you will find all our Palfreys/Pelfreys listed, from John to William I, William II, Daniel, William Riley, Samuel James Tilden, and so on. These are only 0.01 percent of the total picture. Yet realize that if you take one member of the research data, knowing your ancestor, you can realize you are on a family tree. Is it easy? Not at all. Y

Download or read book Appalachians and Race written by John C. Inscoe and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans have had a profound impact on the economy, culture, and social landscape of southern Appalachia but only after a surge of study in the last two decades have their contributions been recognized by white culture. Appalachians and Race brings together 18 essays on the black experience in the mountain South in the nineteenth century. These essays provide a broad and diverse sampling of the best work on race relations in this region. The contributors consider a variety of topics: black migration into and out of the region, educational and religious missions directed at African Americans, the musical influences of interracial contacts, the political activism of blacks during reconstruction and beyond, the racial attitudes of white highlanders, and much more. Drawing from the particulars of southern mountain experiences, this collection brings together important studies of the dynamics of race not only within the region, but throughout the South and the nation over the course of the turbulent nineteenth century.

Download or read book The Underground Railroad in Floyd County Indiana written by Pamela R. Peters and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floyd County, Indiana, and its county seat, New Albany, are located directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville was a major slave-trade center, and Indiana was a free state. Many slaves fled to Floyd County via the Underground Railroad, but their fight for freedom did not end once they reached Indiana. Sufficient information on slaves coming to and through this important area may be found in court records, newspaper stories, oral history accounts, and other materials that a full and fascinating history is possible, one detailing the struggles that runaway slaves faced in Floyd County, such as local, state, and federal laws working together to keep them from advancing socially, politically, and economically. This work also discusses the attitudes, people, and places that help in explaining the successes and heartaches of escaping slaves in Floyd County. Included are a number of freedom and manumission papers, which provided court certification of the freedom of former slaves.
