Sketch writers canvassed the entire county—doing research, recording history, and conducting interviews—to make this text as thorough and as accurate as possible. The only residents not included, the Preface points out, are those who declined the chance and those who avoided the writers. Sketches are clear, full of information, and entertaining. They document not just the lives, occupations, and avocations of their subjects, but also the personalities and peculiarities. Family history is provided as well, along with direct quotes from friends and acquaintances, and portraits of many of the sketch subjects.

Family histories, like precocious children, always challenge their authors with more and more questions. Paul C. Van Dyke discovered this fact when he wrote a genealogy of his branch of the Van Dyke family in the late 1950s. That project led Mr. Van Dyke to explore and research the whole history of the Van Dyke family in America. This excellent book, based on primary sources recounting the Dutch settlement of New Jersey, is the fruit of those years of research. It is fundamentally a Dutch-American history. Incorporating a wide variety of historical accounts, original documents and illustrations, Mr. Van Dyke has written a compelling and richly informative account of nine generations of Van Dykes and the nearly three centuries of American history that serve as a backdrop. Thomas Van Dyck of Amsterdam was the 16th-century patriarch whose story opens the book, and the author also includes helpful background information on Holland's golden age of exploration and the Dutch East India Company. Thomas' son, Jan Van Dyck, and his family immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1652, eventually settling in New Utrecht on Long Island. Jan Jansen Van Dyck was the third generation, and his son John Van Dyck participated in the large Dutch migration (c.1711) to the Millstone Valley in Middlesex and Somerset Counties in the prerevolutionary province of New Jersey. The subsequent generations of Van Dyck farmers in New Jersey were well-respected, patriotic members of such communities as New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, Ten Mile Run, Penns Neck, Rocky Hill, Harlingen, Griggstown, Bridgepoint, Kingston, Millstone, Somerville, Franklin, Montgomery and West Windsor. When they deemed the time appropriate, some of these hard-working and versatile Dutch broke with the farm tradition to enter upon various commercial occupations and the professions, as exemplified in the final chapter and appendices of the book. Every chapter opens with a genealogical note that provides vital statistics such as birth, marriage and death dates. The names of spouses and children are always included in the narrative accounts of the subjects. Numerous appendices furnish additional details, often through transcriptions of original wills, deeds, military records, etc. A bibliography and separate indices for subjects and surnames are included.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul C.

Failure of the potato crop during the early 1800s led to mass evictions by Highland landlords. Later, the Scottish Industrial Revolution, beginning in 1830, replaced much of the existing agriculture and textile based economy with heavy industry. The resultant conditions of poverty lead many displaced persons to make the journey to the New World. John Vert made this crossing between 1820-1821, traveling with John and William Grieve.

Jones (1857-1938) puts back into print an important historical book. Published forty years before Roots, History of the Jones Family also tells the story of a remarkable African-American family. Alex Haley was a professional writer and Roots was a best seller. John L. Jones was a businessman and he probably gave away all 100 copies of his own book. Nevertheless, Jones wrote in a natural, conversational, unpretentious style that is delightful to read. He mixes family stories with family fact in an absorbing narrative tracing his father's activities as a conductor on the Underground Railroad to his own accomplishments in business and civic affairs. Along the way he recounts the considerable achievements of other family members, including his well-known brother, James McHenry Jones, president of what is now West Virginia State College. Even rarer than a copy of the first edition of History of the Jones Family is In Memoriam, a tribute to James McHenry Jones. In Memoriam is reprinted here also. Found in the files of the late Beulah Johnson, who researched African-American history in the Gallipolis, Ohio, area. In Memoriam likely represents the text of orations made at James McHenry Jones' funeral. The Jones family's story reaches from Richmond, Virginia, at the turn of the nineteenth century to the Ohio River cities of Cincinnati, New Richmond, Southpoint, Middleport, Pomeroy, Gallipolis (Ohio), and Wheeling (West Virginia), throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth century. John L. Jones spent most of his adult life in the Perry County, Ohio, mining town of Rendville. Rendville is particularly interesting because of its African-American citizens' early involvement in the beginnings of the labor movement. Notes by Michel S. Perdreau and Nancy E. Aiken describe some of the significance of Rendville and other places and events in the History of the Jones Family. The History of the Jones Family brings into sharp focus the ambitions, frustrations, and determination of a free African-American family from the antebellum era to the early twentieth century.

Ms. Morales explains, \"My family left Mexico in 1909 just as the country began its slow descent into a bloody ten-year revolution. Coming to Kansas City in 1918, my family's services in the railroad and meat packing industries of Kansas City were very much desired by the Kansas business community. However, from a social standpoint, my family was not eagerly nor warmly welcomed to Kansas during the early decades of the twentieth century.\" \"For the first decades of our stay in Kansas, we endured discrimination, humiliation, and segregation at the hands of our own countrymen. We could not eat at certain restaurants, could not attend certain church services, were not allowed in some movie theaters and could not send our children to certain schools. However, with great faith in God and in America, we endured and we triumphed.\" When the tyranny of Nazi Germany threatened the world, the Dominguez family stepped forward to make its contribution to America's war effort. While many family members worked in the defense industry, two Dominguez brothers went to war. Like other Mexican-American families, this family was prepared to make sacrifices for the land that they loved. Five weeks before the surrender of Nazi Germany, 18-year-old Louie Dominguez died while fighting on German soil against an enemy that was nearly defeated. At the moment that Louie gave his life for his country, his older brother and role model Erminio languished in a German POW camp 200 miles away in Bavaria. Through their sacrifices and efforts, the Dominguez family and other Mexican-American families of Kansas have become an integral part of Kansas City's diverse ethnic fabric. The story of the Dominguez family is the story of many Mexican-American families who came to America and triumphed over many obstacles to find their rightful place in American society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonna S.

Research by William Whitt's descendants determined William had lived in South Carolina as early as 1798, migrated to Franklin County, Tennessee, as early as 1811, and pioneered into Alabama sometime before 1824. William Whitt was a great-grandson of the emigrant, John Witt-Whitt, who emigrated from England to Virginia circa 1666. The four consensus sons of John Witt-Whitt have been identified as John Witt II, William Witt, Edward Whitt, and Richard Whitt Sr.-the Witt-Whitt family of old Virginia. In 2002, a DNA study confirmed that the four consensus sons of John Witt-Whitt were related. This book presents a thorough, complete, and accurate history of the ancestors and descendants of William Whitt from 1621 to the present day. A look at the origin of the surname Whitt precedes the history of the first Whitt in America, followed by an examination of John Witt-Whitt and the four foundational Witt-Whitt families of old Virginia. Individual chapters are devoted to the descendants of Edward Whitt, William Whitt, Shadrach M. Whitt, William P. Whitt, William Middleton Whitt, and David Harvey Whitt.

There were more than one hundred fifty letters, stained, torn, and faded, but neatly folded and protected in clear plastic envelopes. I can almost see the writers laboring with the sharpened end of a large feather in the dim light of a fire, candle or lantern. They were delivered by post, by hand sometimes through the kindness of a traveler…Spanning about a century, they involve four generations of her family. Most were written from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, and Mississippi. They speak of daily life, of war and worship, of birth and death. While telling of the Earles and Whittens, they depict typical southern families as they moved south and west to settle the vast wilderness that became these United States.\" Rebecca Berry Whitten was the daughter of Silas Reagan Whitten and Eleanor Kee Earle. In the early 1840s, when she was a teenager, she began saving all the mail that came to her home, Pleasant Grove, in Gowensville, South Carolina. This careful preservation became a life-long habit, even after her family had settled in Tippah County, Mississippi, in 1851. In this book, Mr. Moore, a descendant of Rebecca, shares the letters of a lifetime with all who are interested in first hand glimpses of a lost age. Again quoting the author, \"More can be learned from old letters than from those we write today. The old ones were longer and covered a broader range of subjects. Aside from intimate personal contact, nothing reveals the thoughts and character of individuals with greater clarity than old letters written to friends and family. Always valuable for genealogical research, they let us peer into the hearts and minds of writer and recipient.\" These Whittens and Earles were active Baptists. The letters often refer to persons, ideas, and events that will be of interest to Baptist historians: Rev. John Gill Landrum and Rev. Thomas J. Earle; Dr. Furman of Greenville, South Carolina; old Mercer College of Penfield, Georgia; a Calvinist concept of salvation; Old Side, Hardshell, and Missionary Baptists; Tiger Creek, Crossroads, and other churches of Greenville District, South Carolina are mentioned. Adding to the value of this collection as a research tool are the chapters Mr. Moore has written on the Whitten and Earle families.

Tradition suggests that the surname is the combination of the names of two rivers, evolving from Hebron to Heborn to Hepborn and finally the modern variant Hepburn. This text presents the genealogies of the brothers James and William Hepburn, who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Donegal, Ireland in 1773. The genealogies follow the male line from Samuel Hepburn (b. 1698, Glasgow, Scotland) up to the 1890s and are enhanced by a wealth of biographical material. Several portraits and a full-name index enhance the text. James and William were two of four sons born to Samuel while living in Donegal, Ireland. The Hepburns had fled Scotland to avoid religious persecution and were intrigued by favorable reports from settlers in the thirteen colonies. In 1773, Samuel sent his two oldest sons to Pennsylvania to see if the rumors of financial opportunity were true. This voyage firmly established the Hepburns in both Philadelphia and the Susquehanna Valley. Within ten years the elder Samuel and Samuel Jr. would follow James and William to the new world, settling in Philadelphia. The fourth son, John, was lost at sea with his mother and sister c.1775, at either New Foundland or the New Jersey coast. James made a name for himself as a successful merchant and broker of land. William was a renowned militiaman, served on the State Senate, and was instrumental in the formation of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, in 1795. Both were key players in the establishment of the city of Williamsport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn F.

You will meet Jacob Hewitt, an indentured servant who made good by marrying into the Maryland gentry.

One son fought in the Revolutionary War, and the next generation served in the War of 1812. Hewitt women nursed children through fevers and epidemics, endured loneliness and above all, faced death as part of life.

Mary (also known as Mate) was a school teacher who left home at the age of twenty to teach about 200 miles away from her parents.

He was born about 1736; his wife, about 1740. Some think her name was Nancy. Although we do not know where either was born, they lived in Virginia before moving to South Carolina in about 1784, for early census records show the two sons who moved with them were born in that state. Typical families of the time had several children, and this was true of Charles Whitten and his wife. The 1790 census of Spartanburg District has them with three males and four females. Unfortunately, we can positively identify only sons John and Charles Jr., born 12 April 1762 and 18 January 1769, respectively, somewhere in Virginia. They married sisters, Mary and Millicent Reagan, who were born in 1766 and 1769, respectively, in Stafford County, Virginia. Both were daughters of James Reagan, veteran of the Revolution, and his first wife, Elizabeth Hayes. This book is about John and Charles Jr. and their descendants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the Foreword: \"As descendants of John and his brother, Charles Whitten Jr., were identified, I tried to discover their roles in the settlement of lands that became the South. Typically Europeans and Africans, coming ashore at East Coast ports, settled nearby, started families, and put down roots. Subsequent generations moved south and west seeking more and better land, leaving behind relatives, records, and real estate that can still be found by those who wish to find it. Our Whittens were among them, leaving the mountains of Virginia for the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. In the process, four Whittens left South Carolina and become several thousand by the time I stopped searching.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is divided into four sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook I: Earliest of These Whittens is devoted to James Reagan;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook II: John Whitten and His Descendants includes James Whitten, Charles Whitten, Elizabeth Whitten, Nancy Whitten, Silas Reagan Whitten, Alfred Whitten, Isaac Smith Whitten, Mariam Whitten, and Ranson Whitten;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBook III: Descendants of Charles Whitten Jr. includes Albert Whitten, Nancy Hollan Whitten, Alvin Earle Whitten, John R.
