**At Printer** Pictorians at Home and Abroad: Sketches of Professional Men and Women of Pictou County [Canada] - Its History and Institutions. Rev. J. P. MacPhie. (1914), 2008, 5½x8½, paper, indices, 298 pp. Rev. MacPhie guides the reader through a highly detailed, and very readable, account of the birth and development of Pictou County in the Nova Scotia Province of Canada. “The ‘Hope,’ bearing officers of the Philadelphia Company, so-called, and the families of half a dozen intending settlers, arrived at Pictou from Philadelphia, on June 10, 1767. The Company had obtained a Royal grant of 180,000 acres of land in the district.” The original settlers, accompanied by their wives and children, included: Dr. John Harris, Robert Patterson, James McCabe, John Rogers, Henry Cummings, and possibly the Hand family. September 15, 1773 the “Hector” arrived at the little settlement, increasing the population by 179-189. The “Dumfries Settlers” added thirteen families and one single man in 1775. Brief biographical sketches are provided for many of these pioneers. Individual chapters are devoted to religious history of “the strongest Presbyterian community in Canada”, the ministers and churches of the Town of Pictou, ministers and churches of Scotsburn (including Rogers Hill and Plainfield), Pictonians in the medical professions, Pictonians in the legal profession, history of the Pictou Academy, contributions from the “Home Educators”, missionary work in foreign fields, the press and printers, politics, and the development of industry and commerce. Lists of names and brief biographical sketches of significant figures augment many of these chapters. This text offers a rich source of names, dates, locations and statistics. In addition, numerous photographs, illustrations, a map of Pictou County, and a fullname plus subject index enhance this work. 0788446355 M4635 - $27.50

COLONIAL

**At Printer** The Beginnings of Quakerism. William C. Braithwaite. (1912, 1999), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, indices, 610 pp. The Quaker religion, properly called the Society of Friends, began in Westmoreland in northwest England in the mid-1600s, when George Fox and several others including William Dewsbury, James Nayler, Francis Howgill and Edward Burrough traced their inspiration and their constructive ideas to direct divine “openings” through which they believed they were being led by God. Because this book covers only up to the end of 1660, it is a very detailed study of the early history of Quakerism. The book explains background influences which led to the formation of the new religion, then shows us the beginning of its growth, in which its members were persecuted and jailed, in England, Europe and America, with some followers paying with their lives. Quakerism did not exclude women, some of whom felt called to the ministry. Some followers showed dramatic fits of trembling (hence the term Quaker) while others manifested their convictions in other ways. William Simpson of Lancaster “went three years naked and in sackcloth in the days of Oliver and his Parliament, as a sign to them and to the priests showing how God would strip them of their power…” Many of the followers called themselves “seekers” or “publishers of the truth.” The book also includes four excellent maps of parts of Britain which cradled this religion. While we have all heard about the Quaker religion, there are few people whose understanding would not be greatly broadened by this informative work. 0788409557 B0955 - $41.00

**At Printer** Story of the Huguenots: A Sixteenth Century Narrative Wherein The French, Spaniards and Indians Were The Actors. F. A. Mann. (1912, 2002), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 204 pp. “It will be seen by the historical facts given in this Story of the Huguenots that they were the first martyrs to civil and religious liberty on the North American Continent; arriving as they did nearly half a century before the landing of the Puritans at Plymouth. Their trials, sufferings, and the tragic deaths of many of them, while not resulting in establishing a permanent settlement, sanctified the land to liberty, although more than two hundred years elapsed before a final victory was achieved for human freedom and the greatest republic on earth was established. Another fact is shown by history: The Huguenots driven to America by intolerable oppression, from first to last, have filed our chronicles with gallant and patriotic deeds and the names of their descendants stand high on our rolls of honor, in every walk of life.” In1562, inspired by Cortez, Pizarro, Balboa, De Leon and De Soto, Admiral Coligny of France sent two vessels with colonists, under Jean Ribault and Rene Laudonniere, in search of a refuge for French Huguenots, but a settlement was not established in Florida until 1564. Discussions include La Caroline, interactions with native inhabitants, the struggle for power between France and Spain, slaughters at Matanzas, D’Erlach, Chevalier D’Ottigny, Ostinola and his people, Huguenot explorations, and much, much more… This pleasantly penned volume, the author’s revised edition of his 1898 work, is enhanced with a new fullname index. 0788421735 M2173 - $22.50

**At Printer** The First Traders On Wall Street: The Wiechquaeskeck Indians of Southwestern Connecticut in the Seventeenth Century. John Alexander Buckland. (2002), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, 302 pp. This book honors an Indian Nation that has been long forgotten. It is the Wiechquaeskeck of the Hudson River estuary area. They were a numerous, strong and healthy people when they first gazed at the white sails of European ships in Long Island Sound in the 16^th century. Their story is distinct and unique, although they were part of the great Algonquian Woodland peoples, and belonged to the large group of Lenape, or Delaware, Indians in the New Jersey and New York area. From 17^th century documents, we know many of their names, and much about their lives. They sank from a thriving tribe, to scattered groups, to obscurity by the 19^th century. The main causes of their downfall were virulent diseases from Europe, but they also had bloody fights with the Dutch of New Netherland. Their final blow was inflicted by rum, given to them by land-hungry English merchants. “The subject is very well researched, and I especially like the fact that the bulk of your information comes from primary sources…You give me a feeling for just how great the changes were in the first 50 years after contact, and how much was lost in that short period of time.” “An excellent discussion of the tribes in the area…I particularly like the biographies (which) personalize history and makes one realize that these were flesh-and-blood folks.” “The archeological segment is good, solid stuff.” —Faith Damon Davison, Archivist, The Mohegan Tribe, Uncasville, CT Their story is told using maps, illustrations, timelines, documents and archeological studies, in addition to scholarly essays on cultural clashes, traditional activities, European impressions, and much more. The story of the Wiechquaeskeck mirrors the story of the decline of many native cultures in North America. This book will be highly prized by students of Native America. 0788420283 B2028 - $28.00

GENEALOGIES

**At Printer** Wright Family Census Records, Franklin County, Virginia, 1810-1900 - Robert N. Grant. The author has amassed a bounty of information about Wrights in southern Virginia; sources include church and circuit court records. This material has been separated into sections by county and by type, making it an efficient and organized resource for Wright family researchers. The information in this volume has been extracted from censuses and varies with each decade, the earliest providing only the name of the head of the family and listing the age and sex of the other occupants, and the number of other free persons or slaves. Later records go into much more detail, including names and relationships of all members of the family, ages, occupations, place of birth, year of immigration, etc. A most helpful feature for each entry is the “identification” column, in which the author identifies the specific family and Wright ancestors from whom the named Wright descends. All names are indexed. (2002), 2008, 8½x11, paper, index, 192 pp. $25.00 G2069 ISBN: 0788420690

**At Printer** Cartwrights of the Southern United States. Connie Cartwright Kwasha. (1996), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 298 pp. Genealogies are always enhanced by thorough documentation, scholarly research, well-organized information, lucid writing and creative speculation, but rarely does one find all of these qualities tied up in one package. Ms. Kwasha’s outstanding new book would certainly qualify as one of the valuable exceptions. Providing a wide overview of the Cartwrights who were present in the areas of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee during the early years of North American colonization, Ms. Kwasha has divided this book into two parts. The first deals with the Cartwrights of Maryland as descended from Matthew Cartwright, born c.1634 in Holland. The second deals with the Cartwrights of Princess Anne County, Virginia, and Pasquotank County, North Carolina, as descended from John Cartwright, born c.1600. Both lines are followed to seven generations. Each part begins with a genealogical outline, which serves the reader as a point of reference for individuals covered in later chapters. Many relevant documents and records, including several wills never before published, have been transcribed. Among these records, as elsewhere throughout the text, Ms. Kwasha adds her own parenthetical observations about the significance or implications of the information being recorded. Drawing from many varied sources, the author’s careful analysis has eliminated many errors from works of previous researchers, and the result is a more comprehensive single volume of Cartwright genealogy than is available elsewhere. This broad, easy to read compilation of data should be an enormous help to anyone who is interested in the vast maze of Cartwrights or their allied lines, such as Albertson, Burroughs, Davidson, Jones, Rogers and Tippett. End-of-chapter bibliographies and an every-name index are included. 0788404911 K0491 - $28.00

**At Printer** Rev. Seth Noble: A Revolutionary War Soldier’s Promise of America and the Founding of Bangor, Maine and Columbus, Ohio. Carol B. Smith Fisher. 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 222 pp. This is the comprehensive biography of Reverend Seth Noble—famous preacher, patriot and pioneer founding father. With the discovery and transcription of one of Rev. Seth Noble’s earliest sermons (1774), we find that he believed the American Revolution to be God’s plan to bring a global reformation to the world. He firmly believed that America was God’s true Promised Land. This early sermon preserves a place for Seth Noble in Revolutionary War history; he publicly preached American independence prior to our beloved Virginians: Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Throughout New England and Nova Scotia, his cry “Better die than Submit!” launched his Revolutionary War service. He braved treason and lived with a price on his head, all for his beliefs in “this glorious cause.” After the war, the reality of forming a new nation brought hardships we cannot fully comprehend today. Included in this book, is a deposition clearly identifying a surprisingly well-known individual as a British spy, new information on Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware, the 1798 shipwreck of the Bangor-built schooner (Susannah) with a passenger list including the children of important Revolutionary War heroes, and a brief Noble genealogy. Seth Noble named Bangor for a popular Revolutionary War hymn tune; early sheet music and musical history of this tune is studied in depth. Seth Noble was also the first minister to Columbus, Ohio and researchers will appreciate the inclusion of Ohio land grants, maps, documents, and early history. Our early history is not dead nor is it completely in the past. It is a part of our American heritage that must be nurtured with continued understanding and appreciation for those who made our American dream possible. This book is a must have for those interested in early Maine, Ohio, and New Brunswick history; and indeed, for anyone interested in this time period of early American nation-building. An index to names, places and subjects completes this work. 0788450492 S5049 - $24.00

Remember Me. The Civil War letters of Lt. George Robinson and his son, Sgt. James F. Robinson of “The Glenn”, Hamburg, South Carolina 1861-1862. Richard L. Beach. Published 1991. Remember Me is a chronicle of the early months of the Civil War told in letters by Lt. George Robinson and his son, Sgt. James F. Robinson. Original spelling and capitalization has been retained to add another dimension to the lives of these two men. Their story is private in nature as the letters were written to inform and comfort those loved ones at home concerned for their health and safety. “I’am well and so is Jim and in good spirits-excitement runs high-we have just recd our arms, fine ones..” As such, these men give the modern reader not only a glimpse of history from a first-hand point of view, but also the inner thoughts of both an officer and an enlisted man in one volume.

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 12^th 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** A. F. Carl Wiese Descendants. O’Levia Neil Wilson Wiese. (1979, 1998), 2009, 8½x11, paper, index, 266 pp. Originally published in 1979, this book is the result of a Wiese family reunion. Initially, it was merely supposed to cover the immediate family or the children of Fred and Hulda Wiese. However, the search quickly expanded to encompass many more family members. Much of the information was yielded by the living children and grandchildren of Carl and Minna Wiese who came to the United States from Germany in 1869, leaving a farm that had been registered since 1689 and is still in the possession of a Chris Wiese. This work is full of well-documented facts such as: ship’s logs, U.S. census records, church records, and wills. It also includes a genealogical table, citizenship papers, military records, emigration papers, family bibles, marriage records, etc. Maps and family photographs abound. Although the information contained within this book is a good mix of “both hazy memories as well as documented evidence,” the author suggests that the reader “take into consideration that if time and age have distorted the facts and truths, these memories are better than knowing nothing.” 0788408313 W0831 - $45.50

**At Printer** Annie Ricketson’s Journal: The Remarkable Voyage of the Only Woman Aboard a Whaling Ship with Her Sea Captain Husband and Crew, 1871-1874. Laura Ricketson Doherty. 2010, 5½x8½, paper, 96 pp. The incredible adventure of Annie Ricketson’s years at sea, as told so simply in her journal, is impressive even by today’s standards. Very few women in the 1870s would have chosen to do what Annie did. The idea of leaving family and friends for nearly three and one half years to sail to areas of the world which were not even listed on a map must have been daunting, but to do this as the only woman on a ship where some of the crew may have resented a woman onboard, and others may not have had the highest character references, was absolutely courageous. Annie sailed on the A. R. Tucker with her husband, Captain Daniel Ricketson, to many of the world’s whaling grounds. Her journey took her from her home port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, down the Atlantic around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, and across the Indian Ocean to the Pacific off the coast of Australia. Her journal entries not only tell of tragedy and death, of dangers and bad weather but also of friendly natives and sightseeing, shopping and fashion concerns. They are an invaluable record of life onboard a whaling ship-the excitement of the hunt, a powerful storm, even an earthquake-and the boredom of day after day when nothing happened. Annie’s love for her husband and adventure, her sense of humor and her amazing ability to adapt is obvious from the very beginning of her fantastic story. 0788450484 D5048 - $17.00

**At Printer** Salem Witchcraft and Hawthorne’s “House of the Seven Gables”. Enders A. Robinson. (1992), 2008, 5½x8½, paper, index, 404 pp. This book offers a detailed and highly readable account of the Salem witchcraft affair of 1692. Its publication coincides with the tercentenary observance of the events that form one of the grimmest chapters in colonial American history. The book has three parts. Part One, “Salem Witchcraft History,” provides background information on the Puritan settlement of New England and documents the circumstances which led to the witch hunt of 1692. It identifies the conspirators who accused innocent people by working in collusion with the Puritan old guard authority. It then gives an account of the Andover phase of the witch hunt, with emphasis on the almost forgotten story of the fifty townspeople who were imprisoned for witchcraft in 1692. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a descendant of John Hathorne, one of the most zealous of the Salem witch hunters. Part Two, “The House of the Seven Gables,” briefly examines Hawthorne’s treatment of the witchcraft events in which his ancestor had played such a central role. It reveals the historical identity of several characters in Hawthorne’s novel, including the real-life counterpart of the fictional Matthew Maule, the executed wizard.

**At Printer** Women of the War; Their heroism and self-sacrifice. Frank Moore. (1866), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 600 pp. For the most part, the histories of wars are the histories of men. Women may be given occasional mention-some for inspiring “heroism and knightly deeds,” some for causing “strifes innumerable,” few for participation. This is a collection of true accounts about the contributions of numerous notable Union women during the Civil War. “Many loyal women along the vexed border, and within the lines of the enemy, exhibited a more than human courage for the Union and its glorious banner, in the face of persecution and danger. In the hospital, and amid the stormy scenes of war, they displayed a heroism as brilliant as that of Grace Darling, surpassed the charity of Florence Nightingale, and repeated the humility and gentle sacrifices recorded of Mary in the sacred Scriptures.” This volume includes accounts of: Mrs. Fanny Ricketts, Mrs. Mary A. Brady, Kady Brownell, Mrs. P. B. Hurd, Margaret E. Breckinridge, Mrs. Elida Rumsey Fowle, Bridget Divers, Mrs. Isabella Fogg, What We Did at Gettysburg, Mrs. Mary W.

**At Printer** Thunder Over New England: Benjamin Bonnell, The Loyalist. A Loyalist Story & Family Genealogy Including Other Loyalist Bunnell/Bonnell Genealogies - Paul J. Bunnell, FACG, UE. This is the one that started it all! Paul’s first book, Thunder Over New England, was originally published in 1988 and comprised 103 pages. It had a great sales track record through the years. This new edition contains a large amount of added historical facts, genealogy and index. Chased out of New Jersey for helping the British pass counterfeit money, Benjamin Bonnell and family flee to New York City as refugees. There, he signs up with Brigadier General Benedict Arnold in his special bodyguard unit, The American Legion, and they go on to destroy New London and Fort Griswold, Connecticut in 1781. In 1783, a defeated lot, the Loyalists leave New York City in the “Great Exodus,” heading for Nova Scotia to start a new life in a hostile wilderness. This story would make a great movie about our forgotten Americans. Step aside, “The Patriot;” here comes “The Loyalist!” Besides telling a valuable story for Loyalist descendants, this book contains many names of other Loyalists and some Patriots, including other Bunnell/Bonnell Loyalists and their genealogies and historical facts. And let us not forget about the famous encounter with Ben’s ghost in 1985 and all the other strange events that followed, all updated and included in this new edition of 322 pages. 2003, 5½x8½, paper, index, 344 pp. $22.50 B0850 ISBN: 1585498505

The French Five Hundred and Other Papers. William G. Sibley. (1901, 1997), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 308 pp. This book sprang from the desire of the author, a newspaper editor in Gallipolis, Ohio, to write about some subjects that particularly interested him at greater length than allowed by the constraints of newspaper journalism. Consequently several seemingly unrelated subjects are treated in this four-part work. The book is primarily about Gallipolis, which is in the south central part of the state. The French 500 were a group of immigrants who migrated first to Virginia and then to Gallipolis, settling it in 1790. Roughly the first half of this book (about 120 pages) relates details of this process, in which an American land speculation syndicate called the Scioto Company opened an office in Paris and professed to own a vast tract of land in America that would offer an ideal refuge for gentlemen and gentlewomen who were discontented with conditions existing in France, where “the dark menace of the bloodiest revolution the world has ever known loomed high above the horizon, clouding every fair prospect.” What the French 500 found on their arrival at Gallipolis was a rectangular clearing on the banks of the Ohio River, containing log cabins and surrounded by forested wilderness. Hardships notwithstanding, they made the best of it and preserved a high degree of their social culture in the new locality. The second part of the book, about 90 pages, is an explanation of the origin, tradition, evolution and structure of the Fraternity of Freemasons, along with a history of famous attacks on it. This section will be of general interest to anyone who has ever been curious about Freemasonry, which is thought by many to have its origins before the time of Christ. Here readers will find Masonic facts from Artaxerxes to Zerubbabel, and more information than most Freemasons actually know about the order. The third section returns to the history of Gallipolis for about 45 pages. This section is named “Bronze John at Gallipolis” and concerns the attack of yellow fever (nicknamed “Bronze John”) which infected Gallipolis in 1878, as a result of the arrival of a steamer from New Orleans carrying infected persons. By the end of the crisis, 35 people in and around Gallipolis had died from the epidemic. The fourth and smallest section of the book (about 40 pages) is entitled “Cousins of Suicide,” and is a treatise on self-destructive behavior such as worry and anger, “abuse of the stomach,” lack of exercise, impure air, faulty breathing, and “indiscretions in attire” (in which the dangers of wearing corsets are pointed out). This is a very readable book written in a pleasing style—at times rather like an editorial piece—with something for almost everyone. An everyname index has been added for convenience. S0746 - $28.00

Germans To Marion County, Ohio and Their Ancestors. Allen L. Potts. (1996), 2010, 8½x11, paper, alphabetical, 238 pp. The author’s search for his wife’s German ancestors turned into this collection of known first-generation German immigrants to Marion County, Ohio. In order to be included in this study one had to have emigrated from a German-speaking region of Europe between 1823 and 1900, and lived in Marion County for a time. The study does not include those who migrated from eastern states two or three generations after the initial emigration from Europe. Here, Mr. Potts has compiled an alphabetical list of immigrants—when possible headed by the German spelling of their name, but accompanied by other various Americanized spellings which he was able to establish—which includes such data as the immigrant’s date and place of birth, parents’ names, spouse’s name, and date and place of marriage. Ancestors of the immigrants are listed alphabetically in the second part of the book. The author’s intent is to provide future researchers with a source from which to begin their own family adventure such as the one he originally set out on. In his fact-hunting he used various Marion County records such as census, probate and cemetery records, as well as county histories and also village parish records. P0603 - $34.00

Historical recountings begin with the discovery of the river in 1643 by La Salle. Tidbits include such things as a typical bill of fare and cabin construction techniques. The section entitled “Early Settlements” is most useful in terms of tracing family lines and ancestors; it includes abstracts of the memoirs and diaries of both settlers and soldiers, which give brilliant insight to life in pioneer Ohio.

Hamilton County, Ohio Birth Records 1874-1875 2 Volume Set. Lois E. Hughes. 1993. Prior to 1865, births were not registered in Hamilton County, and births certificates were not issued until 1908. This informative book provides birth records of June, 1874 through 1875. The information was copied from Hamilton County, Ohio, Births Registers received from Probate Court. Due to their fragile conditions, the original registers will not be available to the public, and photo copies cannot be made from them. Department staff will check the registers if a question arises. All of the pertinent information in the Birth Register is recorded here. Researchers should keep in mind that most of these names have been spelled phonetically. Accents and pronunciation changed the sounds of names (i.e. Voll/Woll, Weber/Veber, Jablonsky/Yablonsky,etc.) The births were carelessly recorded by using abbreviations, failing to cross t’s, dot the I’s and even omitting vowels. Whenever accuracy of a record is questioned or indecipherable, a question mark has been included. H3915 -

Hamilton County, Ohio, Marriage Index Volume 1, 1817-1845. Lois E. Hughes. 1994. The records listed in this informative book were copied from handwritten indexes received from the Hamilton County Courthouse. The volumes are dated as early as 1808. The records have been copied exactly as they were written, and many of the records are spelled phonetically. Since the bride and groom are recorded separately, a cross-index was created so readers who do not know the name of their ancestor’s spouse can compare volume number, page number, and date to find a match.

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 genealogical data includes all mentions of local residents beginning with the first issue of the Gazette on 8 January 1732 through 27 December 1735. The data runs the gamut from the usual marriage and death notices to all kinds of interesting tid-bits such as notices of runaway slaves, advertisements, auctions, and stolen or strayed animals, and provides an intimate view of life in South Carolina in the early 1700’s.

A History of Marion County, South Carolina, From its Earliest Times to the Present, 1901. W. W. Sellers. (1902) reprint, 673 pp., new index. This history, first published in 1902, contains hundreds of pages of genealogy in addition to its historical coverage. Mr. Sellers begins his book with a history of the settlement of South Carolina, from its earliest existence in 1670. Once this general background has been established, he sets forth the history of Marion County. Beginning with a physical description, including boundaries, Mr. Sellers then proceeds to touch upon such areas of interest as educational, political and judicial history. Brief discussions of various towns of the county consist of such information as the year of establishment, physical description, economic make-up, and population. The most important aspect of any settlement is the citizenry, and it is this subject to which over 500 pages are dedicated. The bulk of these, over 400 pages, are dedicated to families of 130 distinct surnames who settled in Marion County. Marriages, children, specific area of settlement and other family relationships are common examples of what these descriptions provide. Following the examination of these specific families are lists of clerks of court; sheriffs; legislators; senators; judges; governors; and lawyers from the years 1800 to 1900. Volunteers in the Confederate Army are also listed, and organized according to specific companies and regiments. These entries generally include information regarding whether or not these soldiers survived the war, and if not, the location and date of death is often appended. A new surname index has been compiled to make this already valuable work more useful to the researcher and casual reader alike. S0727 - $45.50

A Guide to the Pre-Civil War Land Records of Colleton County, South Carolina. Carroll Ainsworth McElligott and Ronald J. McElligott II. 2000, 5½x8½, paper, index, 143 pp. This information is of great importance to the genealogist and historian studying pre-Civil War South Carolina. The records of the Colleton County, SC, courthouse were destroyed during the Civil War. After the War, many documents pertaining to land transactions were recorded or re-recorded and are on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Court, Colleton County Courthouse, Walterboro, SC. This book is an alphabetical collection of “Abstracts of Land Records executed prior to 1 January 1866 from the Direct Index to Deeds, 1865-1974.” Six hundred ninety-four names are listed as grantors; and four hundred fifty names are listed as grantees. Each entry contains the name of grantor, name of grantee, date the instrument was recorded or re-recorded, book and page number where the instrument is recorded, kind of instrument, and description of property. Information not available in the Direct Index is indicated by three dashes (---). The records are arranged alphabetically by grantor and are followed by a glossary and a grantee index.

Genealogical Abstracts of Edgefield, South Carolina Equity Court Records. Carol Wells. (2002), 2005, 5½x8½, paper, index, 92 pp. Equity records are a rich source of genealogical facts. In the course of settling disputed or complicated inheritances, names of stepchildren, half siblings, maiden names, deceased husbands, first, second, third spouses, and extended family relations may all be part of testimony. Other official records and family bibles cannot compare with the revelation of troubles and relationships found in Equity Court holdings. In many suits dozens of pieces of evidence have been compressed into a few paragraphs of names, dates, situation, and decree. Although one suit concerns a transaction made in 1736, most problems fall between 1790 and 1820. W2100 - $14.50

Tennessee Tidbits, 1778-1914, Volume I. Marjorie Hood Fischer. (1986), 2008, 6x9, paper, index, 544 pp. This work is an absolute gold mine for anyone who is researching the state of Tennessee. The compiler has gone to the Court Minutes to dig out all the gems of genealogical information. In many cases, this is the only record that exists to show birth dates, death, divorce, naturalization, and much more. Most of the court minutes have no index, or at best only a partial index, so it took a page-by-page reading to find this information. Included in Volume One are records from Blount, Davidson, Dickson, Fayette, Giles, Greene, Hardin, Haywood, Hickman, Humphreys, Lincoln, Putnam, Rutherford, Washington and Williamson Counties. If you don’t have ancestors in these counties, this book can still help you. There are references to people in many other counties and in many states. They show relationships and migration paths. This series encompasses the dates 1778-1914, but individual volumes may not contain records for the entire time span. F4623 - $41.00

The papers covered in this volume are: The Jackson Gazette, 1825-1828, The Sparta Review, 1823-1825, and The Knoxville Register, 1821-1822. E0525 -

Davidson County, Tennessee, County Court Minutes, Volume 1, 1783-1792 - Carol Wells. These court minutes are important because few records survive from this formative period in Tennessee history when Davidson County encompassed all of middle and western Tennessee. They are also important because many people are mentioned in the court minutes who do not appear in other records. County court responsibilities went beyond the hearing of lawsuits; roads and ferries had to be provided, brands and marks registered, orphans cared for, estates settled, and many other details of life handled in an orderly manner. In addition to providing a wealth of genealogical information, these abstracts give insight into life during the formative days of the county. A name index is included 1990, 5½x8½, paper, index.

**At Printer** Davidson County, Tennessee, County Court Minutes, Volume 3, 1799-1803 - Carol Wells. This third volume of county court minutes provides a glimpse into the early years of the fledgling state. "Constant creation of new roads and ferries reveal the influx of new settlers to middle Tennessee. Unfamiliar names appeared in the minutes as the justices of the peace dealt with disputes, orphans, poverty, estates, wills, sales, apprentices, licenses, and the multiplicity of other matters that fell to their jurisdiction." This work condenses the often flowery language of the original minutes to a brief accounting of the subject brought before the court and the people involved. Many citizens who would not appear in other records may have had business with the court, and would therefore be listed in the court's minutes. The index lists surnames, places and organizations mentioned in the text. (1991), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 204 pp. W0538 ISBN: 1556135386

History of the Lost State of Franklin. Samuel Cole Williams. (1933), reprint, paper, index, bibl., 378 pp. No other movement for separate statehood reached, even approximately, the stage attained by Franklin, that of a de facto government, waging war, negotiating treaties and functioning for a term of years in the three great departments that mark an American State, the legislative, executive, and judicial. Genealogical and biographical information is included here as well. The author has preserved the names of minor participants in the struggle, for or against separate statehood. Of the leaders, a fuller account is given. For some of these, even, this is a rescue of their names and deeds from near-oblivion. W2066 - $31.50

**At Printer** Abstracts from the Clarksville Standard (Formerly the Northern Standard): Volume 5: 1855-1856. Richard B. Marrin and Lorna Geer Sheppard. 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 268 pp. The Northern Standard, later renamed The Clarksville Standard, was a weekly newspaper first published in 1842 by Charles DeMorse in Clarksville, a small town in the northeastern corner of the Republic of Texas. The paper grew to become the second largest in circulation in Texas and DeMorse was hailed as the Father of Texas Journalism. In 1856 and 1857, times were good and everyone thought life would only get better. New technology brought change, both good and bad. Texas agriculture took a giant leap forward with the introduction of mechanical threshers and reapers. The telegraph and railroads connected many states, and would eventually include Texas. But periodically, even in the face of seeming prosperity, economies crash and times become tense. The Crash of 1857, resentment against immigrants, the Dred Scott decision handed down by the Supreme Court, the Underground Railroad, and insurrection conspiracies all contributed to the undercurrent of stress in society. The Whig party was disappearing, the Democrats were split between North and South, the Republican Party was forming, and the Know Nothings’ American Party rounded out the political combatants of the day. All this, along with town activities, marriages and deaths, celebrations, crops, weather and more were covered in the Standard. Both the genealogist and the student of Texas history will prize this work. For the genealogist, there is a wealth of names. For historians, this volume offers a taste of the people, events and attitudes in motion which were to shape Texas and the United States. An every name index enhances the text. 0788449125 M4912 - $26.00

**At Printer** Richmond, Virginia Uncovered: The Records of Slave and Free Blacks listed in the City Sergeant Jail Register, 1841-1846. Nancy C. Frantel. 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 176 pp. Richmond is located in the heartland of Virginia on the free flowing water of the James River. The James brought much pain, for it was by this river that the slave boats arrived and unloaded their imprisoned passengers in the 1700s and early 1800s. Many slaves purchased in Richmond were transported to other Southern states as demand for labor increased in those regions. History has not left a complete story of those who lived and died in the area. Many records were lost as a result of fires over the years, including during the Civil War. Fortunately information has survived to ensure that some of those who passed through this land are permanently documented. The Richmond City Sergeant Register is one of those precious records. The transcribed entries preserved on these pages portray the hardships experienced by the enslaved and free blacks in the area. Entries typically contain: name of the person committed, name of the person who apprehended the slave or free black, court information if applicable, date committed, date discharged, number of days maintained in the jail and the charge for that maintenance, charges for “turning the key,” apprehending fee, total charge to the prisoner or slave owner, and arrangements for the payment of jail charges. If a free black (who was discharged after proving his freedom) was unable to pay his jail charges, he (or she) was sold at public auction to pay off this debt. The length of service required to repay this debt ranged from months to years. Lucy Briggs, an unfortunate free black woman who attained her release from jail after providing her freedom papers, was hired out for fifty-nine years! A sentencing chart follows the register entries; a full name index completes this work. 078845045X F5045 - $21.00

The Records of the Virginia Company of London, Documents, II, 1623-1626. Susan M. Kingsbury. (1935, 1996), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, 666 pp. “The records of the Virginia Company during the first three months of the years from January, 1622/23 to January, 1624/25, picture the final attempts to regulate and develop the tobacco trade with Virginia. Then follow papers revealing the bitter attack upon the Earl of Southampton and the adventurers associated with him, by Sir Nathaniel Rich and the defenders of Sir Thomas Smith’s regime. Throughout the whole period are portrayed the struggle of the plantation to recover from the Indian massacre of March 22, 1622, and the efforts made by the officials in London and by the Governor, Council, and Assembly in Virginia. “In this volume, then, is to be found the record of the dissension within the company that brought about the close of the corporation and the end of the first of the colony’s history. At the same time the beginning of Virginia as a crown colony is set forth. Here also is portrayed the settled life of the plantation. Much is told of the colonists and their efforts to create an organized and systematic government, to produce commodities that would provide the necessities for living, and to develop resources that might result in needful trade with the Indians and with England.” An index to full names, places and subjects adds to the value of this work.

The Records of the Virginia Company of London, Documents, I, 1607-1622. Susan M. Kingsbury. 1995. While the Court Book of the Virginia Company, published as Volumes 1 and 2 of this series, presents minutes of the meetings of the corporation, the succeeding volumes contain materials that vivify its decisions and decrees, explain the difficulties met and overcome by that redoubtable group of adventures, reveal the petty jealousies of the administrators, and especially record the controversy between the company and the Crown that resulted in the dissolution of the corporation and the creation of the first crown colony of Great Britain. Included in this volume are manuscripts from two collections that are unique. The ‘Smyth of Nibley’ papers give the history of a single settlement, called Smyth’s (or Smith’s) Hundred, that is typical of the various hundreds of the colony. They extend from February 3, 1618/19, to August 1, 1622, inclusive. The ‘Ferrar Papers,’ on the other hand, are a veritable gold mine; their unique value is discussed in the Introduction in Volume 1. They supply a vast amount of information through the correspondence between the colony and individual planters of the colony and Sir Edwin Sandys, Nicholas Ferrar, and John Ferrar, and also between Sir Edwin Sandys and the other officials of the company. All documents here published are discussed at length in the Introduction to Volumes 1 and 2 of this series. Fifty-seven documents dating earlier than April 28, 1619, when the records in Volume 1 begin, are printed in this volume. Source material for the history of the company through the year 1622 is presented in this volume. March 22, 1622, saw the frightful massacre of colonists by the Indians. The story of that tragedy, the efforts for recovery, and the beginning of the reestablished colony conclude this volume. K0210 -

HISTORICAL FICTION

**At Printer** Thirty-Six Points - Samuel M. Kier. In the Korean War, the typical young American soldier was not motivated by a desire to save the world from communism; his objective was to earn the thirty-six rotation points that would allow him to return home. Thirty-Six Points blends military history and character-driven fiction, as experienced by the novel's four principal characters: a pre-med student from Stanford University, a career soldier from Detroit, a corporal from a Greek battalion fighting alongside the Americans, and a Chinese schoolteacher who was coerced to fight in the Chinese Army alongside the North Koreans. The novel begins in 1950, before the United States became actively involved in the war. It ends with the aftermath of the war, the survivors having returned to their homes. In the epilogue, one of them revisits the basic training base at Fort Ord years later, and compares the Korean and Vietnam eras. Author Samuel Martin Kier, like the protagonist Ben Stewart, was a Stanford student when he was drafted into the army. He trained at Fort Ord and was assigned to the Fifth Infantry Regiment. One of his assignments during his period of service with the unit was to update the regimental history, using information from command reports, battalion journals and after-action reports. Thirty-six Points is a novel, but it also tells the story of the Fifth Regimental Combat Team from November 1952 to July 1953, as it moved between the Punchbowl in eastern Korea and the Chorwan Valley in the central part of the country.

Paul Nickerson. 2010, 5½x8½, paper, 268 pp. After the break-up of the Raider Regiments in 1944, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Marine Corps Divisions were in dire need of non-commissioned officers. Ex-Raiders, such as Gunnery Sergeant Rawlins, were used in these spots as replacements. Gunnery Sgt. Rawlins and his Raider squad were sent to the Fifth Marine Division, Twenty-seventh Regiment, Camp Pendleton, California. Here they began training for the bloody battle of Iwo Jima, where over twenty thousand Japanese Imperial troops waited-ready and willing to die for their emperor. Follow Rawlins and his team through grueling training at Camp Tarawa, Hawaii; thirty-four days of living hell at the foot of Mt. Suibachi-the bloodiest battle in Marine Corps history; living off the land while marooned on an island near Japan; dealing with civilian life after the war; and their return to duty when the Korean War breaks out. This novel, based on historical fact, follows Gunnery Sgt. Rawlins and his squad from the war against imperial Japanese forces through the Korean War. Weapons, tactics, training, organization, and attitudes are accurately portrayed from both the American and the Japanese perspective. 0788451502 N5150 - $26.00
