This book was released on 1973 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book rings with the names of early inhabitants and prominent citizens. For the genealogist there is the important and wholly fortuitous list of tithables of Pittsylvania County for the year 1767, which enumerates the names of nearly 1,000 landowners and property holders, amounting in sum to a rough census of the county in its infancy. Additional lists include the names, some with inclusive dates of service, of sheriffs, justices of the peace, members of the House of Delegates, 1776-1928, members of the Senate of Virginia, 1776-1928, clerks of the court, and judges.

Download or read book Wil Lou Gray written by Mary Macdonald Ogden and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wil Lou Gray: The Making of a Southern Progressive from New South to New Deal, Mary Macdonald Ogden examines the first fifty years of the life and work of South Carolina's Wil Lou Gray (1883-1984), an uncompromising advocate of public and private programs to improve education, health, citizen participation, and culture in the Palmetto State. Motivated by the southern educational reform crusade, her own excellent education, and the high levels of illiteracy she observed in South Carolina, Gray capitalized on the emergent field of adult education before and after World War I to battle the racism, illiteracy, sexism, and political lethargy commonplace in her native state. As state superintendent of adult schools from 1919 to 1946, one of only two such superintendents in the nation, and through opportunity schools, adult night schools, pilgrimages, and media campaigns—all of which she pioneered—Gray transformed South Carolina's anti-illiteracy campaign from a plan of eradication to a comprehensive program of adult education. Ogden's biography reveals how Gray successfully secured small but meaningful advances for both black and white adults in the face of harsh economic conditions, pervasive white supremacy attitudes, and racial violence. Gray's socially progressive politics brought change in the first decades of the twentieth century. Gray was a refined, sophisticated upper-class South Carolinian who played Canasta, loved tomato aspic, and served meals at the South Carolina Opportunity School on china with cloth napkins. She was also a lifelong Democrat, a passionate supporter of equality of opportunity, a masterful politician, a workaholic, and in her last years a vociferous supporter of government programs such as Medicare and nonprofits such as Planned Parenthood. She had a remarkable grasp of the issues that plagued her state and, with deep faith in the power of government to foster social justice, developed innovative ways to address those problems despite real financial, political, and social barriers to progress. Her life is an example of how one person with bravery, tenacity, and faith in humanity can grasp the power of government to improve society.

Download or read book Morrison Williams written by William Mann Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David and Robert Morrison were brothers-in-law, having married Sharpe sisters. They also might have been brothers or cousins"--Page 1. Earlier it was thought (but this now seems doubtful) they might have been descendants of William Morrison, who served in the Revolutionary War and was given a land grant in what became Sumner County, Tennessee. There is no absolute knowledge about David and Robert before they appeared on the tax list of Wilson County, Tennessee in 1806 and 1804 respectively, but they probably moved there from North Carolina. Rufus Adlai Morrison (1842-1921), grandson of David, married Mary Ann Williams in 1873, and moved from Tennessee to Red Oak, Latimer County, Oklahoma. This book includes other Morrisons in North Carolina and Tennessee, probably descendants of James Morrison, who emigrated from Scotland to northern Ireland about 1700 and immigrated about 1730 to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Descendants and relatives of Morrison and Williams families lived in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, California, Washington and elsewhere. Includes some data about other Morrisons in Scotland, Ireland and elsewhere
