This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following is a compilation of soldiers using service records, rolls found in papers, in the commanding officer’s papers, obituaries, and newspaper accounts. No one can actually get all as some records may be lost or destroyed, names may be different due to spelling, the use of a nickname, or the same name with conflicting information detailing with two or more persons with same name and records combined. Some records may and are of the same soldier with different companies. This is due to the fact that after the first year, soldiers were given the option to stay with the current company or leave and join another and the combining of soldiers toward the end of the war. Another reason will be soldiers being discharged early in the war and rejoining another company later on in the war.

Download or read book Speaking with Vampires written by Luise White and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the colonial period, Africans told each other terrifying rumors that Africans who worked for white colonists captured unwary residents and took their blood. In colonial Tanganyika, for example, Africans were said to be captured by these agents of colonialism and hung upside down, their throats cut so their blood drained into huge buckets. In Kampala, the police were said to abduct Africans and keep them in pits, where their blood was sucked. Luise White presents and interprets vampire stories from East and Central Africa as a way of understanding the world as the storytellers did. Using gossip and rumor as historical sources in their own right, she assesses the place of such evidence, oral and written, in historical reconstruction. White conducted more than 130 interviews for this book and did research in Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. In addition to presenting powerful, vivid stories that Africans told to describe colonial power, the book presents an original epistemological inquiry into the nature of historical truth and memory, and into their relationship to the writing of history.

Download or read book North American Wills Registered in London 1611 1857 written by and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2007 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In England, until 1858, the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) had jurisdiction over all wills submitted for probate on behalf of English citizens who were temporary or permanent inhabitants of North America. Altogether there are over 2,000 such wills among the one million wills registered in the PCC, and their existence has ensured that all persons mentioned in the wills have not only found a permanent place in historical records but have a provable link to English ancestry. Until now the establishment of such a link was usually possible, if at all, only by an arduous examination of the unindexed probate records or by a review of the records published in such books as Mr. Coldham?s own American Wills & Administrations in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1610-1857, published in 1989. Recently, however, The National Archives (TNA) in London published digitized copies of all PCC wills on their website, in theory making all previously hard-to-find information accessible at the touch of a button." --

Download or read book Directory of Scots in the Carolinas 1680 1830 written by David Dobson and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great 18th-century Scottish immigration to the Carolinas was a response, in large part, to the failure of the Jacobite rebellion in 1715, a phenomenon which set in motion a chain emigration of Scottish Lowlanders, followed by one of Highlanders. Publication of David Dobson's Directory of Scots in the Carolinas, 1680-1830, Volume 1 in 1986 was the first attempt to build a comprehensive list of Scottish settlers in that region. Since 1986, Mr. Dobson has gathered an overwhelming amount of new information on early Scottish immigrants to North and South Carolina based on his research in Scotland, England, and the U.S., but especially at the National Archives in Scotland. This sequel to the 1986 volume encases those findings. In all, the compiler has found evidence on nearly 1,000 Scots not mentioned in the original work and, for the most part, not found in his other publications on Scottish emigration. As one might expect from such a disparate body of sources, the descriptions of these Scots vary considerably, though there is a solid foundation of genealogical detail: age, place and date of birth, and often names of parents, names of spouses and children, occupation, place of residence, and date of emigration from Scotland. This is an important addition to the literature of Scottish immigration to colonial America, and, given the difficulty of identifying the participants in this extraordinary emigration, one worth waiting for.
