Book excerpt: "Settlers of Maryland 1679-1700" extends Gust Skordas's renowned "Early Settlers of Maryland" through the last quarter of the 17th century, identifying several thousand immigrants and their colorfully named tracts. Based on the same series of records as Skordas--Land Office books on file at the Hall of Records in Annapolis--the entries in this work are arranged by family name, county, name of tract granted, acreage, date, and reference to original source(s). Tract names often suggest English places familiar to the settler--perhaps places of origin or residence--and they are so many and so various that an index of tract names has been appended to the book.

Download or read book Missing Relatives and Lost Friends written by Robert W. Barnes and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers on the trail of elusive ancestors sometimes turn to 18th- and early 19th-century newspapers after exhausting the first tier of genealogical sources (i.e., census records, wills, deeds, marriages, etc.). Generally speaking, early newspapers are not indexed, so they require investigators to comb through them, looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. With his latest book, Robert Barnes has made one aspect of the aforementioned chore much easier. This remarkable book contains advertisements for missing relatives and lost friends from scores of newspapers published in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia, as well as a few from New York and the District of Columbia. The newspaper issues begin in 1719 (when the "American Weekly Mercury" began publication in Philadelphia) and run into the early 1800s. The author's comprehensive bibliography, in the Introduction to the work, lists all the newspapers and other sources he examined in preparing the book. The volume references 1,325 notices that chronicle the appearance or disappearance of 1,566 persons.
Download or read book Lost in the District Lost in the Federal Territory The Life and Times of Doctor David Ross Surgeon Sot Weed Factor Importer of Human Labor of Bladensburg Maryland and related individuals written by Stewart Lillard and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lost in the District, Lost in the Federal Territory" relates the facts about Doctor David Ross of Bladensburg, his family life, his business and political connections, and his efforts to develop a productive iron mine along the upper Potomac River on lower Antietam Creek in Washington County, Maryland. Through his diligence and the skills of his close relatives, Dr. Ross was in a position to recommend the taking up of arms against Great Britain to his river neighbors of the Committee of Correspondence. His son was later appointed to serve briefly as one of the first auditors for the newly formed District of Columbia. His nephew by marriage, James Maccubbin Lingan, a victim of the Baltimore Riot of July 28, 1812, was one of the first group of leaders who set Georgetown, Maryland (and later D.C.), on its course to greatness as a deep water port. He remains the only veteran of the American Revolutionary War to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
Download or read book A History of the Westchester Cooperative and its Neighbors written by Peter T. Higgins and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, Peter T. Higgins started to read and research in-depth the history of the land and buildings now occupied by the Westchester, the Cathedral West, 3900 Watson Place NW, the Colonnade, and the seven townhouses on Watson Place in Washington, DC. In the process, he discovered several surprises that upended some long-believed stories and likely started some new ones. Almost all the facts, for instance, surrounding the story of the magnificent gates at the entrance to the Westchester from Cathedral Avenue were overturned when the author’s research connected him to the English Trust managing the Copped Hall estate—the original source of the Victorian gates. With maps, photos and personal anecdotes (the author’s father is part of the history), a neighborhood’s story unfolds from the 1700 land grants to today. It’s a story that includes a king (Charles I), a president (FDR), even Irving Berlin’s Madam, Perle Mesta.

Download or read book Did You Tell Them Who You Are written by Rebecca Hoskins Goodwin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, Allen Lewis Hoskins and his siblings left Leslie County, Kentucky, and moved to Mingo County, West Virginia. After Al met and married Lucy Patterson from Franklin County, Virginia, he never could have known that more than a hundred years later, members of his extended family would quietly wonder, "Where do we really come from? And how did we get to where we live today?" Rebecca Hoskins Goodwin relies on DNA, extensive research, photographs, and other personal documents to share the fascinating story of her family in the context of Appalachian history, as they progressed from immigrant to settler to farmer and from mining to law enforcement to politics. As Goodwin sets her family's lives against the backdrop of their times, it soon becomes evident that despite hardship, violence, and war, generations of the Hoskins family have relied on the strong ties of kinship to push on toward the frontier and, ultimately, the American Dream. Did You Tell Them Who You Are? offers a compelling look back into the Hoskins' family history in an effort to answer questions for not only today's generation, but also generations to come. "If you are a student of Appalachian history, you will be intrigued by how historical events affected one family. ... If you are looking for a pleasant read that will entertain and inform you, I recommend Did You Tell Them Who You Are?" -Sue Sergi, president and CEO, the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences, Charleston, West Virginia
