The McKees of Virginia and Kentucky. Bauer, A. Patricia. This is a reproduction of an 1890 book by George Wilson McKee, revised and updated with the addition of an extensive family outline and an index including more than 200 related family name and localities. The McKees, probably of Irish or Celtic origin, supposedly went to Scotland in the 12th century to help fend off the Danes. Some of them returned to Ireland, and in 1738 ten or eleven brothers ventured from County Down to America. Three of their sons form the branch of the McKee family covered in this book, though there is a lengthy discourse on the origin of the McKee name in the House and Clan of MacKay, and the relationship of the name McKee to McDonald, MacKintosh, MacKay, Mackie, McKie, McGhie, and the ancient names of Iye and Hugh. A short chapter contains an outline of the related Dunn family, descended from Jane Logan McKee. The book also contains letters and memoirs as well as biographies and family histories of the early McKee pioneers. B3898 -

**At Printer** Records of the
Town of Plymouth, Volumes 2 1705-1743. William T. Davis. (1892, 1989), 2010,
5½x8½, paper, index, 372 pp. These volumes
contain a complete, verbatim transcription of the town records of Plymouth,
Massachusetts for the years 1636 to 1783. They record all the formal business
of the town, such as town meetings, elections, laying out of roads, and land
grants by the town; vital records were kept in separate books and are not
included here. These records begin early in the life of the town and continue
down through the end of the American Revolution. They provide a quite detailed
picture of life at the time. Here you will find the local residents registering
their cattle marks, being elected hog-reeve, or to some other minor town post,
receiving permission to set up fishing stages or erect a fence, listed as
voting at the town meeting, receiving a grant of land or cattle, assisting in
the care of widows and orphans, having a road laid out past their property, and
all manner of other interesting things. These records can be very helpful
because they name a great many people, some of whom probably do not show up in
many other records. There is a complete index in each volume. D0182

**At Printer** The History of Salt River Association. Wiley J. Patrick. (1909, 2001), 2011, 5½x8½, paper, index, 432 pp. The early American settlers took very few personal belongings into the wilderness, but for most of them their religious convictions and practices were not things that could be left behind. In the midst of unknown dangers, lean harvests, scarce provisions, fierce winters and unforeseeable tragedies, they established congregations, recruited preachers and built churches. Some of the earliest, most complete and most accurate records of pioneer life are gleaned from church documents kept during these folklore-like times. Wiley Patrick in the History of Salt River Association, Missouri, diligently records and preserves the Baptist history of this community and includes information about some of its earliest families including the following surnames: Mountjoy, Givens, Beauchamp, Buchanan, Plunkett, Carter, Moss, Biggs, and Keach. He describes the lives of its rugged congregants in revealing personal profiles, including the Reverend Ruddell, who was captured by Indians and lived with them for many years before returning to preach among the settlers; and Elizabeth Biggs, who at eighty still galloped on horseback around the countryside; or orphaned Almeda Griffith, who at fifteen left for Maryland on her own. He also gave perspective to current events of the time and how they affected the church, like the imposition of the ironclad oath, a profession of loyalty to the union required of all preachers at the time of the Civil War. For any family with a Baptist background, no doubt this book would help to confirm or identify Missouri family members. Of special note are profiles of many church elders, including some self-portraits of those living at the time this book was originally published. The personal details included in some of these brief biographies would delight any historian and enhance the reader’s picture of the time and its inhabitants. This is a must-buy book for anyone researching their Baptist heritage in Missouri. The illustrations are limited to photographs of church elders. P1846 - $35.00

A Century of Scottish History: From the Days Before “45 to Those Within Memory - Sir Henry Craik. This valuable resource belongs in the library of anyone interested in Scotland. "The object of these volumes is to give a chronological narrative of all the principal incidents¾political, ecclesiastical, and legislative, as well as literary, social, and commercial¾which form the history of Scotland throughout a very momentous century, in the course of which the character of her permanent contribution to the common life of the Empire was chiefly shaped." This stormy journey opens with a glimpse at ancient history then concentrates on events and significant figures spanning 1745-1872, from the legislative union with England to the Education Act of 1872 that ended the parish school system. Volume I includes: the "glorious Revolution" and the "Union of the Crowns" of England and Scotland (1603); Jacobite schemes and hopes for French intervention; the accession of George I, the Earl of Mar, the rebellion of 1719; smugglers; the state of Scotland in 1745 and the development of national character; politics in England, including Sir Robert Walpole and the Pelham ministry; the Battle Of Prestonpans; the Prince of Edinburgh and the Highland army's triumph at the battle of Falkirk; the battle of Culloden where "even the dauntless courage of the Prince was broken"; reprisals and safeguards against rebellion; parties in Scotland after the revolution; ecclesiastical and secular innovations; Scottish nationality and English jealousy. Volume II includes: social and economic changes; Tory and Whig Parties; Henry Erskine and the younger Whigs; older Toryism and its failure; larger aims in politics and the church; ecclesiastical struggles and the education system.

Genealogical Abstracts from the South Carolina
Gazette, 1732-1735. Moran, Alton T.. 1987. When the South Carolina General
Assembly offered a 1,000 bounty to obtain a printer in 1731, several men responded
and two papers resulted-the South Carolina Gazette, printed by Thomas Whitmarsh, and the South Carolina Weekly, printed by Eleazer Phillips. (No issues of the latter survive.) Thomas
Whitmarsh was an Englishman who had worked with
Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia. After coming to Charleston in the summer of
1731, Whitmarsh set up a shop for printing pamphlets,
broadsides, legal forms, and the Gazette. He died in September of 1733 and the
Gazette languished until February of 1734 when Lewis Timothee,
another associate of Franklin, took it up and continued to publish it until his
death in 1738. This collection of
