Download or read book The True Image written by Daniel W. Patterson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thousand unique gravestones cluster around old Presbyterian churches in the piedmont of the two Carolinas and in central Pennsylvania. Most are the vulnerable legacy of three generations of the Bigham family, Scotch Irish stonecutters whose workshop near Charlotte created the earliest surviving art of British settlers in the region. In The True Image, Daniel Patterson documents the craftsmanship of this group and the current appearance of the stones. In two hundred of his photographs, he records these stones for future generations and compares their iconography and inscriptions with those of other early monuments in the United States, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Combining his reading of the stones with historical records, previous scholarship, and rich oral lore, Patterson throws new light on the complex culture and experience of the Scotch Irish in America. In so doing, he explores the bright and the dark sides of how they coped with challenges such as backwoods conditions, religious upheavals, war, political conflicts, slavery, and land speculation. He shows that headstones, resting quietly in old graveyards, can reveal fresh insights into the character and history of an influential immigrant group.
Download or read book The Descendants of Thomas McDowell in Colonial America written by Stephen Szabados and published by Stephen Szabados. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the McDowells in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, and North Carolina, Kentucky were related with their common ancestor being Thomas or one of his sons. However, their relationships were sometimes confused. Many family members had similar names such as John and Joseph and were born about the same year for example Joseph “Pleasant Garden” McDowell in 1758 and Joseph "Quaker Meadows" McDowell in 1756. I have also found family historians have recorded birth and death dates to the wrong family member with the same name or attributed erroneous parents probably hoping to place them in their ancestral line. Erroneously, son Ephraim is thought of as the progenitor of the McDowells in Virginia, as well as in the territory that became Kentucky. Some historians go further and attribute all McDowells as descendants of Ephraim. However, this confuses the ancestry of the descendants of Ephraim with the descendants of his brothers. There were six brothers (the six sons of Thomas McDowell) who were responsible for the many McDowell descendants. The different branches lived in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky and made significant contributions to the establishment and growth of these areas. Also many fought in the American Revolution to establish our freedoms. I hope to sort the different family branches using Thomas McDowell (b. 1628) as the starting point and focus on each family member’s location and who they are with to determine to which branch they belong.
