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 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 -

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 Death Records 1874-1877 2 Volume Set. Hughes, Lois E... Prior to 1865, deaths were not registered in Hamilton County, and death certificates were not issued until 1908. This massive volume includes approximately 20,000 records copied from the Hamilton County, Ohio, Death Registers received from Probate Court. All pertinent information in the Death Registers is recorded here. Due to the fragile condition of these registers, which were held in The Archives and Rare Books Department of the University of Cincinnati Libraries, they will not be available to the public and photocopies cannot be made; however, Department staff will check registers if researchers have questions.

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 -

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

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 -
