Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a great privilege for me to endeavor to tell you this story about my Great-Great-Great Grandfather's life; about his ancestors, his family, and his work for God. I have gathered genealogy information used herein since I first learned of my Shook roots in 2000. My non-fiction story is based on found legal documents and documented history that would apply to anyone in the same situation and time period. There is much information out there and so much of it is incorrect in one way or another. I do not claim to have found it all, or even that I have the true grist of what I do have. I do strive to give you my sources for everything that I included here. You can then make up your own mind as to what is fact and what is unproven.
Download or read book Of Kindred Germanic Origins written by Jodie Scales and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling and evocative history of an ordinary 21st century American family detailing its varied and diverse historical and cultural elements through out history. An enthralling journey through time and culture giving a strong narrative account of the similar Germanic roots of many American families. Using records and tools as varied as archeology, anthropology, ethnology, etymology, geology, mythology, legends and historical documentation, Scales embarks on a fascinating quest to link together the pieces of a vast jigsaw of the forgotten Germanic heritage of many American families while developing a chronological framework to historical events and family bloodlines. With an astonishing insight into the cultural effects of the travels and historical events of our founding fathers, more than a dozen separate family lines are identified with their earliest American ancestors and which part of the ancient Germanic world those families came from. Reaching as far back into the origin of the Cimbrians and Teutanians, early Celtic peoples known as Germanic Tribes coming down from the Alps, where Switzerland is now located, to their arrival in Germany then on to the shores of the American colonies, sets a framework for the detailed history of the Germanic people who’s blood still runs in many American veins.

Download or read book Old Wayne written by Cletis R. Ellinghouse and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-21 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ordeal of twenty-year-old schoolteacher Sarah Pauline White, sentenced in 1864 to confinement at hard labor in the state penitentiary for the duration of the Civil War for writing a letter to a rebel soldier, was one of several painful experiences endured by Wayne County families that are described in Old Wayne. Why her impassioned quest for a pardon failed was never fully explained; but it gained the enthusiastic support of Missouri governor Thomas C. Fletcher, formerly a Union army general, and appears to have been a casualty of President Andrew Johnsons acrimonious relationship with the Missouri commander General John Pope who, at a later time, was fired by Johnson.

Download or read book The French Indian War in North Carolina written by John R Maass and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For eight decades, an epic power struggle raged across a frontier that would become Maine. Between 1675 and 1759, British, French, and Native Americans soldiers clashed in six distinct wars to claim the land that became the Pine Tree State. Though the showdown between France and Great Britain was international in scale, the decidedly local conflicts in Maine pitted European settlers against Native American tribes. Native and European communities from the Penobscot to the Piscataqua Rivers suffered brutal attacks. Countless men, women and children were killed, taken captive or sold into servitude. The native people of Maine were torn asunder by disease, social disintegration and political factionalism as they fought to maintain their autonomy in the face of unrelenting European pressure. This is the dark, tragic and largely forgotten struggle that laid the foundation of Maine.
